Hi, 57F, it’s been a while since I’ve run into you. Hope you and yours are doing well.
.

This reminds me that I also haven’t seen Arapaho around either. Hmmm.
It’s been a tough year. Mr. 57 is now six weeks out from knee replacement surgery. It’s been tough. I found out that I have a severe tear in the cartilage in my hip and a fracture that has cause constant, searing pain for almost a year. Taking care of Mr. 57 was a challenge but he’s getting better by the day. I’ve missed you all so much. Hope all is well with you!
Good to hear both you and Mr 57 are taking care of yourselves and are making gradual improvement. Hang tough! Yes, all is going well in my corner and I am thankful.
He’s doing pretty great for 78 years old! I wish I was doing as well at 68 years old. My Job From Hell with a Trump wannabe boss was awful as the museum I’ve been doing research for finally opened. 8-10 days straight working with no break. But I’ve cut back to part time (always my plan when the museum opened) and after the dust settles, I’m hoping to get back to doing things I love. It was the work schedule and of course the depression/anger/horror of DT that kept me from participating with my TOPD family, but I lurked as often as I could. Feels so great to be back with such wonderful, inspirational friends. Hope all it well with you.
Happy Monday to you all. I had the stomach flu this past weekend, 2 days in bed and slept when I wasn’t being sick so it’s good to be on here to catch up. Feeling depressed except when I watched Maxine’s speech yesterday. That lifted me up.
PM of England said that Trump’s buddy is responsible for the poisoning of the former Russia spy and his daughter. The fellow Trump said was a better leader then Obama, the fellow who Trump refuse to say a negative word about, the fellow who help Trump steal the 2016 election.

Four years ago, @MichelleObama and I had the privilege to host Lt. Cmdr. Dan Cnossen and his fellow Paralympians and Olympians at the White House. Today, we’re so proud of him for winning gold and silver – while still representing the red, white, and blue. pic.twitter.com/evDCV7zehM

Duplication when it is President Barack Obama, Please TOD pardon me 😉 . I should have refreshed before eagerly posting for TODbots are always on top of everything The Obamas 😉
The last time anything good coming out of the WH was during PBO & Michelle Obama’s time there. Today is all about corruption, scandals, crime, bad language, and evil doings by evil doers every day.
I'm in DC today w/ Delta Sigma Theta, the sorority of Dorthy Height, who was the only woman on the platform at the 63 March on Washington & one of few, along with Rosa Parks, at the Million Man March.
exactly, she made a spectacle of herself acting gleeful when he’s lied to her and Schumer on DACA why would this be any different. Wonder if DiFi will get fooled a 3rd time?
Like our PM – they all keep thinking he is a “normal” politician who will do the right thing, keep his promises. Maybe it is just faint hope – but ANYONE who has watched the past 2 years should know he does what is good for trump – nothing more & nothing less.
Our man in charge is saying he won’t join with others to protest the steel tariffs because we are going to be exempt – the reckoning will come – sooner rather than later.
I am a Californian and I actually like Senator Feinstein. She is a solid democrat, and doesn’t suffer fools gladly. She wrote the original assault weapons ban. She saw her friends in San Francisco shot and killed. She is an older politician, and I do think she holds out for the better angels to appear in others. I see so many Dems calling out Bernie for wanting “progressive purity” in our party, I cannot stand Bernie. Now I see so many calling out Senator Feinstein, …she got Trump to say out loud, on tape for all to see/hear what he wanted to happen regarding gun measures. He has no moral compass, and it it proven time and time again She is not naive. She is a solid solider in our party, it saddens me to see people here dissing her.
At least she’s addressing the issue. Where are all the other Democrats? Where are the men? Why aren’t they also making lots of noise. Passion is important. Listen to those Parkland young people, they’re not afraid. Shame on the NRA too.
May says she will give Russia until end of tomorrow to respond to nerve agent attack against ex-Russian spy. "Should there be no credible response, we will conclude that this action amounts to an unlawful use of force by the Russia state against the United Kingdom." pic.twitter.com/9qzhJZYL1Q
A casual observation here, but it kinda looks like he’s more interested in advancing or protecting Russia’s interests than those of our allies. I’m sure that’s just me though.
No Dudette, it’s not just you. It’s obvious that this POTUS is in the pockets of Russia. He’s doing exactly what Putin’s Puppet would do. Notice that he has time to condemn and criticize our free press and politicians who criticize him but has NEVER criticized Putin. Not even once.
And thanks to Fox News, his deplorables live in an alternate reality where they THANK Russia for making him president, and are frighteningly clueless about embracing the murderous Putin.
Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee announce they found no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia and that they are shutting down their yearlong investigation https://t.co/hHu8m1l9qkpic.twitter.com/YbsFjJcolW
House GOP: Investigation found no evidence of Russia-Trump collusion …and disagrees with Intel Community that Putin interfered to help Trump.https://t.co/mHApf3xiC1 via @nbcnews
Do these GOP Trump-idiots think anyone believe anything they have to say. Anything dealing with the House is alot of B.S. I don’t trust these Republicans at all.
Marina Litvinenko, widow of murdered spy Alexander Litvinenko, calls on British government to adopt Magnitsky Act to deal with Putin’s aggression https://t.co/4q5cnA4tEu
What the flying fuck. THIS is who the orange Mussolini protects!
Russia deployed a military grade nerve agent in a city of 40,000 people. Chemical warfare experts were sent to the scene and hundreds of people may have been poisoned. In England. In 2018. https://t.co/fuPCH6LuBj
I was in southwestern Pennsylvania with @ConorLambPA last week. Something's changing out there. You can feel the grassroots energy. And that'll beat big money every time. Let's bring this one home. Get out and vote, Pennsylvania. pic.twitter.com/Rl9EO2Ok5d
Republican House Intell Comm shut down Russia probe before doing a complete job This is a coverup and a lasting stain on the reputation of what used to be a bipartisan Committee when it was run by Republican Rogers and Democrat Ruppersberger. Politics beat a desire for the truth
With @SpeakerRyan's blessing, @HouseGOP has abandoned their oath to support/defend the Constitution & protect Americans. Their decision to end the Intel investigation is another disturbing episode in their attempt to obstruct efforts to #FollowTheFacts on Trump-Russia scandal.
they do not believe in democracy…they use the institutions of democracy…like the vote and courts to gather power and push their ideology of white supremacy…this is why i have a hard time understanding how any person of color could be a Republican or vote for a Republican….white folks can’t see pass their own privilege …that is why they continue to vote for Republicans or 3rd party
Right after Russians launched a chemical attack on an ally. Maybe this isn’t just lockstep political complicity. Maybe it’s also fear of both what the Russians have on the GOP and what they do when angered. https://t.co/WJfcAJGYZw
Legislation in the House of Representatives to limit the Trump administration’s ability to lift sanctions on Russia passed 419-3 last July. But today the House Intelligence Committee sees no connection? ZERO credibility.
6). Tea’s purty confident these signs indicate Mueller will unleash his next round of indictments by end of this week or sometime next week. Those thunderin’ hoodbeats you’re hearin’ is Mueller’s calvary bringin’ Justice with ‘em. <eot>
Now that House Intelligence Committee Republicans yearlong 'fake probe' of criminal con-man Trump and Russia has come to its predetermined end, Americans are now more motivated than even to flip the House and Senate and put Devin Nunes and Trump behind bars where they belong.
The stunning thing about this attack is why Novichock when there are other alternatives less provocative and more deniable for Russia. But I suppose that’s precisely the point….Putin DGAF. Wants everyone to know it’s him. https://t.co/BCliHU9C5h
Putin seems to be having everything all his way since the ending of 2016. Sigh. It’s like he’s making a fool of the west because we have certain standards and he doesn’t. His behaviour strikes me as very similar to the GOPs – they fight dirty, have no morals, and take victory any which way they can, while the Dems follow standards because they believe in having some integrity. How do you win when you follow all the rules and your opponent constantly tramples over them? IMO that creates a battlefield that is virtually unconquerable. Putin has launched war against the west and is gaining advantages while we are debating. How is Putin going to be stopped if our leaders cannot even admit that we have been, and are being, attacked? I can’t see US getting back on its international feet anytime soon.
The Russians are really bold. Nerve agent attack in a British city … I suppose aided by P.P … Putin can’t help but feel emboldened.
When are Republicans going to proudly display their Russian flags / pins?
The Deplorables who voted for the P-grabber should truly be ashamed. Who flip-flops with their votes? Trump country PA18 now supporting Lamb? Where were these a-holes in the last election?
I welcome people who voted for Trump, but are now voting to send a Democrat to Congress to replace a Republican. We obviously can’t undo what happened in the last election. Right now our focus should be on ensuring that Democrats regain the majority in Congress to be able to check Trump.
No doubt it’s better to have these ppl vote for a Democrat. But the predicament we are in wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for Trump voters or lack of HRC voters.
Once again we discover that these voters are NOT the true base of the Democratic Party….their vote is NOT reliable,,,however the Obama Coalition…is….the DEMs do not want to acknowledge this.
Morning everyone…Happy Voting Day in PA 18!!! GO VOTE! Do it now and bring a friend, or 5.
No one take their peddle off the gas. If you live in this district, please vote tomorrow. If you have friends/family in the district, please call them and remind them to vote tomorrow for Conor. https://t.co/uju6ekHu83
No wonder Tillerson felt free to speak clearly yesterday about Russia and its involvement in the spy poisoning in London. He was already fired. https://t.co/K3injqxMam
More clarity: Stone told friends he knew that Assange had trove of internal emails that would damage Dems… they happened to have been hacked … by the Russians, US intel says. https://t.co/f3sG9sErdk
Axios called all 23 Republican congressmen’s offices in districts that Clinton won in 2016 and asked whether they would want Trump to campaign for them in their district.
Just two—Rohrabacher and Curbelo—said they'd be happy to have Trump's support. https://t.co/463NplDPB3
But will these same Republicans who would distance themselves from 45 on the campaign trail call him out on all his impeachable offenses? Will they stand up to Ryan/McConnell and tell them to do their jobs?
The GOP-Trump enablers R not new. They were taking down the pillars of democracy during Pres Obama's time in office. They now have a Pres, who will conspire with them to destroy Medicaid/Medicare/SS along with enacting policies that are a white nationalist dream.
Former Pres including Pres Obama would have stood shoulder to shoulder w/Great Britain in defiance of this Attack by Russia. But we have a Pres who will not admit that Russia attacked our elections & will not obey the law by imposing sanctions on Russia. #WhatWilltheGOPCongressDo
NATO Challenge for Trump & his GOP enablers in Congress…Will you stand with NATO Allies against this attack of one of our allies…or will you give Putin his dream…the cracking of the NATO Alliance
Another long-time Trump aide is out: John McEntee, an original Trumper among w Hope Hicks and Dan Scavino, was escorted out of the White House on Monday https://t.co/haIhsITOxp— Michael C. Bender (@MichaelCBender) March 13, 2018
In his role in the White House, McEntee did tasks such as giving the president messages and making sure the clocks were correctly set for daylight-saving time.
According to the Journal, he was not allowed to gather his belongings before being escorted out of the White House.

Yet, he is good enough to work on the 2020 re-election campaign…..talk about a job that won’t exist. Hope he updated his resume and removed the WH job…..
This seems to contradict reporting that "Trump last Friday asked Tillerson to step aside." State Department now says the firing was abrupt, Tillerson has not spoken to the president, and is unaware of the reason. https://t.co/WPdi7XZm3y
Trump's new CIA Director, Gina Haspel, in 2002 led in the torture of 2 terrorism suspects by "slamming their heads into walls". She then was involved in destroying videotapes that documented the torture of these men. Germany called for her arrest!
There’s that. Doesn’t seem like “thinking things through” is a strong suit. Hell, THINKING doesn’t seem to be a suit at all!
Trump signing himself up for two confirmation battles in an election year in agencies directly related to Russian meddling seems like an idea that wasn't fully thought through.

Now, now, MP staring is not allowed (just because I’ve got a week off). 😉 😀 Sending you wishes for a quiet Monday, however.
Just keeping an 👁 out for all o’ y’all 🌏💕
😀 😀 FTR I’m behaving, though I can’t speak for anyone else.
Happy Monday 👑
Happy Monday, TOD family. I miss the Obamas.

Hi 57 and female, good to see you. So sorry you and your husband have been having health issues and were in pain. Glad you husband is improving.
He’s doing pretty great for 78 years old! I wish I was doing as well at 68 years old.

Yes everything is well from me. I took a break myself for about 5 months starting in August due to anxiety/depression.
Love to you.
Same to you!
((((( 57af and hubby )))))
❤️🙏🏻🕯
good to see you 57….wishing you the best…
Hello 57! Good to hear from you and to know Mr 57 is on the mend. Now it’s your turn to slow down and regroup. 😘
Love to you…
To turning that corner and going in good directions, both of you!
Monday, Monday…..yup.
Congrats, VC on your Golden ⭐ Furst becomes You, Lady 😉
Thanks, NW! You Rock!

No Shame on you Sen. Feinstein. for thinking Trump would ever do what is right. Shame on you.
exactly, she made a spectacle of herself acting gleeful when he’s lied to her and Schumer on DACA why would this be any different. Wonder if DiFi will get fooled a 3rd time?
Feinstein has been around the block more than a few times…she knew that it was a long shot with Trump
Like our PM – they all keep thinking he is a “normal” politician who will do the right thing, keep his promises. Maybe it is just faint hope – but ANYONE who has watched the past 2 years should know he does what is good for trump – nothing more & nothing less.

I think Patrick was being sarcastic.
Trump is totally a Putin puppet.
And thanks to Fox News, his deplorables live in an alternate reality where they THANK Russia for making him president, and are frighteningly clueless about embracing the murderous Putin.
I am now absolutely convinced that Putin has devastating “Komplomat” on Trump.
😁 I know it’s not just me. I forget sometimes people don’t always recognize snark.
Dudette, I think you are being overly kind to Trump. Trump is deathly afraid of Putin.
Do y’all seriously think I give that fool the benefit of the doubt? I was being snarky. Guess I shoulda just been more overt.
It may be safe to assume The Hague is gearing up for the trials ahead….

That committee lost it’s credibility long time ago. Nunes tainted that committee. At this point, only Mueller has credibility.
Do these GOP Trump-idiots think anyone believe anything they have to say. Anything dealing with the House is alot of B.S. I don’t trust these Republicans at all.
And …. that was as expected. THe GOP will live to regret what they have done – the only thing that will keep the USA a democracy.
How is it we have ‘lost’ an hour (as in ripped off), yet the day seems longer than many I remember? (does that make sense…?) 🤔
What the flying fuck. THIS is who the orange Mussolini protects!
I’m sure Trump is proud of his buddy Putin.
The Republicans, from Trump on down, are traitors!
they do not believe in democracy…they use the institutions of democracy…like the vote and courts to gather power and push their ideology of white supremacy…this is why i have a hard time understanding how any person of color could be a Republican or vote for a Republican….white folks can’t see pass their own privilege …that is why they continue to vote for Republicans or 3rd party
OMG
Holy shit
Everyone needs to watch Rachel tonight. We all know that something happened to America but finding out the details that are coming out is so scary
David Nunes = Benedict Arnold 2.0 . The Russians are coming and the GOP stands by, waving white flags. TRAITORS the lot of them.

I guess Tillerson contradicted him one time too many.
Is the pact between Tillerson, Mattis, and McMaster (or was it Kelley) still in play … if one goes, they all go???
What horrid people. Vile people they are.
What a slimey creature his guy is
Welcome to the Trump administration, Mr. Schwab. The corruption and lies are nonstop!
Add this to the mix. Do you feel safe?
https://www.thedailybeast.com/russia-threatens-action-against-the-us-if-it-strikes-syria
But will these same Republicans who would distance themselves from 45 on the campaign trail call him out on all his impeachable offenses? Will they stand up to Ryan/McConnell and tell them to do their jobs?
This all feels like shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic. This man and his treasonous crew are going down….
Dickless. But we knew that
The Secretary of Exxon got his $71 million dollar tax break, didn’t he?
So, he’s cool.

Yes!
thanks…
I stand by what I am about to say, the problem isn’t just Trump it’s those who voted that fucking moron in office.
Those Republicans on Capital Hill is to blame too, they know Trump is not qualified to be President, but to them it is all about power.
He picks the “best” people. Dangerous disgrace
There’s that. Doesn’t seem like “thinking things through” is a strong suit. Hell, THINKING doesn’t seem to be a suit at all!
