This is something our Don would say….
My best laugh of day! 😂
Hey all. I’m back from a wonderful wedding in Australia of my awesome nephew and his new bride which took place on Jan 19th. I returned yesterday and am not sure what time it is at any given moment as I got about 2 hours of sleep on the plane (of a 12 hour flight) and believe it is now 2:02 PST and tomorrow morning in Aussieland. I did not watch much at all while in Aus, so am trying to catch up. I did miss being here, though. Glad to see Nancy Pelosi is standing firm and the Democrats are behind her. Sad to see Mitch McConnell continuing to get away with ruining the Senate.
Congratulations on your nephews wedding, Betsy. Hope you had a great time in Australia. Good to see you back.
Thanks sjterrid. We had a wonderful time. It is good to be back.
watching closely how people respond to the implication to the separation of powers, when that scumbag is denied a venue in the House.
the responses will once again clarify the enablers of treasonous, evil, corrupt behavior by Individual 1 …
Davos underway (minus the fake president):
“Oxfam reports that the wealth of the 2,200 billionaires across the globe increased by $900 billion last year – or $2.5 billion a day. Their 12 percent increase in wealth contrasts with a drop of 11 percent in the wealth of the bottom half of the people of the world. In fact, the world’s 26 richest billionaires now own as much as the 3.8 billion who comprise the bottom half of the planet’s population.”
If Davos’s attendees ignore all this, and blame the rise of right-wing populism around the globe on racism fueled by immigrants from the Middle East and from Central America, they’re deluding themselves.
The real source of the rise of repressive authoritarianism, nativism, and xenophobia in the United States as well as Italy, Spain, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Denmark, Bulgaria, Greece, France, and Britain is a pervasive sense that elites are rigging the world economy for themselves.
And, guess what? They are.” (Robert Reich)
Very true words from Robert Reich. I’d like to see those words in newspaper editorials tomorrow.
Wow, these people are really nuts.
These people are REALLY nuts, part 2
Seems other Rs could run but RNC wouldn’t endorse…however:
“Trump is not doing well in polls. While his GOP support has been unwavering, the rest of the country blames him for the government shutdown. As it stands today, every possible Democratic challenger would beat him in the general election.”

oh btw, let’s be ready if Putin’s boys try to cancel the entire 2020 election.
Mulvaney is one hard-hearted jerk, the quintessential right-wing Republican. He’s all for ending Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. I can just imagine what programs top his list!
Is this how they drown government in a bathtub (shutdown)?
Oh, my!!
Trump is a sham president and should not be permitted to give his State of the Union speech while 800,000 American families are suffering from his everlasting temper tantrum and while he is remains a Putin puppet.
YUP
All hail Speaker Pelosi! She’s brought me hope, and many, many smiles 🙂
You know, even while he’s showing off his ‘skills in wheeling and dealing’ it would surprise me if at this point Idiot-45 has even (had) written the web of lies that he seems so gung-ho to share. This *admin* doesn’t generally plan ahead so while arguing for a SOTU I bet they’ve forgotten to research and prepare so they’d have something meaningful to share.
YIKES
yanoo…they are expecting help for Russia again….lets beware….and protect the elections
Speaker Pelosi is a grandmother, she knows how to deal with spoil kids, and that is what she is doing right now with that ten year old 72 year old so call President.
Some of you may find this an interesting listen. Brando talking about children seeing themselves/families painted in an awful light in the movies

This was a larger issue and it’s an issue nobody in the motion picture industry had even addressed themselves to unless forced to. I mean, the blacks have brought about changes because they were just damn angry about it and they thumped and tugged and threatened and made some noise about it. But if they’d just been silent and thought that, well, gradually wisdom would come to those who run the business of the movies and they’ll do right by us they would have never come. We have a lot to be grateful for that the blacks were as insistent as they were, that the image of blacks are changing. But it’s a block by block fight. People are very timorous now about showing blacks in an unkindly light, but they will go on with the Filipino houseboy and ……
Oh did anyone watch Serena Williams last night? I do not know what happen, somethings can’t be explain. Serena was up 5-1 in the final set and lost the last six points, she lost 7-5. I could not believe it.
Random thoughts & hearing Nancy Smash just put Minus in place (NYT reporting that he’s gonna lie to the world after shutdown) & bring back one part of our governance. So this song just simply popped in my mind: It’s My House: 😂😏
I miss vynil & turntables, bear w/ me as I hope NYT story is just so! 😏👀😂
The idiocy Joyce was referring to:
Eff him & his cohorts, w/ all my middle fingers upright! I’m losing my vocabulary. 👀😏
You and me, both! 🙂
RESIGN TODAY & GO AWAY!!
🙌🏾
He should resign and backdate his letter to so-called inauguration day, so we can wash this stain off our history.
And Trump/Republicans are fine with this. This is exactly what they want.
Love how John Brennan has said he will NEVER refer to him as President. Always uses “Mr. Trump.”
AKA “that asshole”
Yep!
He doesn’t even deserve “”Mr.”
So very true.
He caved!

Trump says he’ll postpone State of the Union speech until the government shutdown is over
In a tweet late Wednesday night, President Trump signaled a retreat, saying it was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “prerogative” to suggest a later date due to the shutdown.

Putiny caved!
Goodnight, TODville. Here’s to all the good people in the world!
This is my utopia: books & music:
🙌🏾
Morning everyone.
I mean really, was there ever going to come a time that Nancy Pelosi wasn’t going to punk trump? This day was always going to come, it was a certainty just as the sun rises every morning.
and it was as glorious as the beautiful sunrise
Joy is right
The “Why” is because …the shutdown is NOT a means to an end…It Is The End in itself….that is why Trump talks about months even years for the shutdown…in addition the destruction of government has been a “wet dream” for many on the right forever.
Yes…I do believe this was the deal he made with Putin. Weaken the US and take it down in the world community….and then allow his Moscow project to happen
Well well well. Of course everyone knows why.
Just left a message for both of my senators to open the govt with a clean bill and save the discussion of border security for a later time…
🙂 🙂

I thought she was spot on when I heard this last night!!
Couple Ross’ comment with Lara Trump’s comment, and there you have it!
This is grotesque.
THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL AND SEEN BY EVERYONE WITH EYES THAT SEE AND EARS THAT HEAR!!!! Grotesque is an understatement! These are vile, vile, out of touch people. I use the term “people” loosely
Incredible.
Get a loan??? When you don’t have a JOB??? They are showing the ‘little people ‘ what the billionaires do. News flash,asshole. It doesn’t work like that!
Hey, Booms… someone’s giving you a run for the money:)
This!
Oh man! Do you feel the BURN yet??
The caravan he DOESN’T talk about!

Did I read that if convicted of this crime… one of his many, it can mean 20 YEARS in prison. I’d say this is a BFD
Yes, I DID read it
HA!
😂
Yep. 1st thing that popped in my head when the news broke.
Fuck off
My fear is that when these fuckers die there won’t be a sufficient hell for them to go to.
Cleansing
Cheesy puff time!
I miss our Queen Chipsticks! 😩
Love to our Lady Chips💕
Me too, D-ette, me too. {{{D-ette}}}
I also miss knowing what antics DannyO has been performing. Can you imagine his size by now!
Hi VC! Danny must be the size of a Budweiser Clydesdale by now! I hope they are both well and happy!
I know, eh? I still have periodic images of him trying to cross with the stick in his mouth, and him and his ‘girlfriend’ playing. I sometimes wonder if they both ever sense how strongly they are held close in our memories. Living another year without knowing what they’re up to, and if they are well, will be worrisome.
Indeed
I do too, every day.
Bound, gagged and beaten, forced into slavery by unindicted co-conspirator:
“The Office of Personnel Management has issued a memo to agencies calling on them to punish workers who call out sick. Specifically, “If an employee is excepted from furlough, and therefore required to work during the shutdown yet has failed to do so, he or she would be considered AWOL during the period of any such unauthorized absence.”” (Daily Kos)
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/1/23/1828842/-Federal-agency-warns-of-consequences-for-workers-calling-out-sick-during-shutdown
So you are out or almost out of cash, you have children, possibly child care costs, a sick or elderly family member, you need gas or travel money, yet you are punished for needing a job to keep the roof over your head and food on the table. Ross doesn’t know why you need a food bank. Compromised president is inviting an ATTACK on our nation. What will end Trump’s reign of sadism and abuse?
= Mafia mob boss in the WH is bumping Americans off in different ways, just not at gun point yet.
This isn’t enforceable because if you have sick time saved up you can use your sick time, so good luck trying to fuck someone over for using the sick time that they’ve earned.
In lieu of sick time you can even use accrued annual leave, get the fuck out of here with this absurd bullshit from OPM. Whenever I take my son to his medical appointments I use sick leave. This shit pisses me off to no end, first of all you aren’t paying me and now you want to try to strong-arm me into coming to work.
I personally know people that have thousands of hours of sick time saved up, so if they wanted to be a dick about the situation they could just sit home and use their sick leave and really fuck over the agency that they work for. I’m a work as we speak and they have fucking bags of food and toiletries to give to coworkers just so they won’t go hungry. I’m looking at bags of toilet paper and soap and toothpaste that will be handed out to my fellow coworkers. And fucking OPM wants to hand out some bullshit like this.
thanks for this Don. pls update anything that might be good know or might help our federal workers.
–a friend booked to fly is 100% supportive of a TSA work stoppage on the 29th.
Congresswoman Pressley is awesome!
What the Cavalry look like

BORN in the same hospital or was it neighboring hospitals: Kamala Harris and Rachel Maddow
(see last night’s RM Show)
p.s. can we be done with birthing in hospitals which are for sick, infected and injured people.
Maternal deaths in the USA = highest in developed world. Options include specifically staffed birthing centers and midwives at home.
All hail to women.
