Congrats MP!

Hi MP – Congratulations! How’s your kitty?

heh??? you stole it form me.
Bastards !
Members of the Senate Banking Committee on Thursday passed a bill that would impose sanctions on Iran if a comprehensive nuclear deal is not reached by June 30.
The bill, co-authored by Sens. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), passed in the committee by an 18-4 vote.
All 12 Republicans on the committee voted for the bill, as did six Democrats.
The Democrats who voted for the bill included Sens. Menendez, Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Mark R. Warner (D-Va.) Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), and Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.).

Most of those Dems will likely vote for Keystone too.
I thought President Obama said that when it comes to foreign policy your first objective is don’t do dumb shit?
Well, at least they moved it up from March 24th to June 30th….
PBO will veto it if it passes on the floor.
A bunch of fucking asshole, they act as though Netanyahu is going to give them a handjob for passing this bill.
I’m sorry for my language.
Don, that’s our Democtats. The ones who came up with that stupid strategy to run away from President Obama in the midterms, our fucking “A” hole Democrats.
I apologize too .Sometimes you just wonder about those Democrats.
I just don’t understand, Clinton can get sexual favors in the oval office from an intern and every elected Democrat ran to the White House pledging to back him against the Republicans, The Black clergy went to the White House and prayed for Clinton, but when can’t back a President that delivered healthcare to the masses and ended two wars.
THIS. Unfreakinbelievable.
All Dems did not stand with Bill Clinton, an asshole caucus of Dems lead by Joe Lieberman scolded and attempted to shame Clinton (this is why Al Gore, who was attempting to distance himself from Clinton, chose Lieberman as his running mate). Democrats are disloyal by nature. They have an inferiority complex, and those with inferiority complexes are not known for their backbones.
I stand corrected, Eric, instead of All lets try a lot.
DEMS in name only….warmongers…..i grow weary of the Big Tent….Dems in sheep’s clothing…Dems who don’t support their President…
Thjere is a LOT of good news about Obamacare sign-ups on Charles Gaba’s blog. My state seems to be weathering the transition from our failed (Oracle-built) Cover Oregon exchange to Healthcare.gov but the legislature has to pass a fix and deal with the business owner part of it.

The Keystone vote is this afternoon……
I hope it doesn’t pass
Good Grief….
Kelly O’Donnell just said Keystone will bring jobs….. How do these liars sleep at night ?
She does’t know about these sorts of things, I mean she’s only a news reader, not an actual journalist.
Because they can no longer say it will reduce the price of gas….they got nuttin’.
Hi jojo. I just wanted you and GGail to know that I was not suggesting that you not get an insurance agent. I actually had two agents working with me from Colonial Penn, which I ended up choosing after looking at several companies. I just meant I did some research before I chose a plan and a company. I do understand your point. Fortunately, I can still be on hubby’s employee dental and visual plans which are very inexpensive. I did have to buy a drug plan. I chose SilverScript for $26.00 a month and no deductible. It is a daunting task so, yes, indeed, get some help.
Thanks for the comment. This was all new to me and did not know that using an insurance agent was possible. I learned so much. I was able to stir another couple to use an agent before selecting a plan and to review the plans each enrollment period. Wow the drug plan is really reasonable. Thanks again for your help because I know it will help others who lurk here as well.
Hi sabreen, I didn’t take your comment that way at all. I was just co-signing that I’m gonna need a professional to help me with mine when I retire. I’m so sorry you misunderstood. Thanks for speaking up tho’, it’s always good to have a clear understanding among family members in the village 🙂
Howdy TODable TOD Community.
Fantastic posts. Spot on Toon on this thread.
Congrats to all the Gold ⭐ winners, starting with this post and 3 back.
Congrats Carolyn on your 49th Anniversary.
❤ the collection of tweets by NW and the Hagel Thread is Marvelous. Thanks.
So TeaNN, oops, CNN is now mocking Mourning Joke and MSNBC for beating their arse 😉 ❓
Okay, then 🙂
Um Um UM….
Our media outlets are juvenile.
RIP MSNBC
You guys know what I think of Morning Joke. I’m not never have been a fan of Joe and Mika.
So if News Day beat them, good.
What is this, junior high?!?!
Take away their allowance and send them to their rooms with no electronics until they know how to behave. God.
Good read!
yes
Proud of my Congressman for doing this!
Thumbs UP!
THUMBS UP INDEED….BOEHNER IS DISGUSTING AND BY MAKING THIS MOVE HE ENDEAVORS TO INCREASE THE DIVIDE BETWEEN THE PRESIDENT AND THE RIGHT WINGERS WHO THINK PBO IS THE ANTI-CHRIST AND NOT INTERESTED IN ISRAEL…THIS IS WHAT BOEHNER IS FEEDING AND IT IS EXTREMELY DELIBERATE AND ALSO QUITE DANGEROUS! BOEHNER WANTS EXTREMISTS TO ATTACK THE PRESIDENT…EITHER VERBALLY OR PHYSICALLY…THAT’S WHAT HE IS PUSHING FOR BECAUSE HE IS AFRAID OF THE TEAPARTY!
A graceful retreat is Bibi the Bully’s best option. As I said a week ago all he has to do is say that the pressures of his campaign will not allow him time to travel and then he can address AIPAC using Skype—which, by the way, he has done on previous occasions.
Or as Ghandi once said “The way out is via the door.”
The hardest thing for a man or a woman to control is their ego, Netanyhu’s ego does not do grace.
I think you are right, Don.
serena. shrapova. sweeta.
What?
Bret Farve has many NFL records, including winning Super Bowl. Farve played with guts and he had QB talent.
He is a Hall of Fame NFL player with his awesome records.
What has Mittens done politically that can be termed great? Nada.
I think that was in reference to how hard it was for Favre to quit football and he had to keep playing when he would have been better off retiring. Difference being, Favre actually was good at fottball while Romney was and is terrible at politics.
I am not happy with that analogy. Favre continued to play well with consistency, hurt and all. Today, he was memory issues, for the Love of the game.
Mittens…..for Power and his belief spiritually that USA owes him and how dare a Man of color managed to defeat him. His wife told Us in April of 2012 that it was Mitt’s Turn.
Not saying it was a good analogy. As I said, a lot of differences as well. Favres biggest problem at the end of his career was that he played for the Vikings.
Japa, please don’t make me defend the Vikings. 😉 One of my sibs love them. I love one thing about them…..Purple. I only cheer for them when they play the Cowboys of the Broncos.
Favre took the Vikings further the yr he came to MN.
Favre was True to his QB abilities. Since his departure……the Vikings have been struggling to say the least.
Willard is Never true to his political ambitions. Therefore, his failures. His only win in 2002 is to beat a Female Dem in the MA Gubernatorial election.
I would never ask you to do the impossible. (Can you tell I’m not exactly a Vikings fan?)
😉
All they know how to behave is to name call, scream and lie.
Kissinger as a witness, McCain?
This is 2015……
Low life scum ? Medea Benjamin has two masters degrees from Columbia University Most of her life has been in public service.
THERE IS A TIME AND A PLACE HOWEVER FOR EVERYTHING…THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. THE PRESIDENT WOULD NOT APPROVE OF THIS ACTION JUST AS WE DID NOT LIKE HIS HECKLER AT HIS STATE OF THE UNION. THE BEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE PROTESTING IS DONE WITHOUT DELIVERING ACTIONS THAT ARE LOWER THAN THE OPPONENTS. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER KEPT OUTSIDE. MCCAIN’S MOUTH IS FOUL AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT HE IS MADE OF. THIS IS LIKE THE GROUPS OF PROTESTERS THAT TRY TO INTERRUPT PBO INSIDE A BUILDING…I DON’T THINK THAT IS RIGHT…THAT’S MY FEELING ON THE MATTER!
GOOOOOO Sen. Whitehouse!!
I heard Sen. Whitehouse and what he said and I was so proud of him, he really stood up for AG Holder. Bravo to the Senator. I might just send him a email thanking him.
Promote national youth enrollment day today using #YoEnroll
Morning all.
So in other words and by the looks of him he could not score or get to first base with a white beautiful blond so he went with the “obedient Asian female” sterotype. Only she’s a lot smarter than him and is probably letting him think everything is HIS idea 🙂 🙂 🙂
And will divorce him and take the kids and all of his money. 🙂
The particular idiocy of a willful clueless Privileged A-H.
His egoism and bigotry displaced publicly.
LL, should I send the screen cleaning & replacement keyboard invoice to your home or the Library? ROFLMBAO!

YOU ALSO HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THAT AN ISLAMIC PRINCE OWNS PART OF FOX…AND THEY WANT AMERICA TO FAIL!
Sometimes I get jealous of my nine year old son because when he gets to be my age there will be flying cars and teleportation. But I’m so lucky to be a witness to the Obama era, a once in a lifetime politician.
take that, china.
Ha!
Wow, this will be fascinating!!

I was so mad yesterday when msnbc kept identifying who was testifying for the Republicans today and consistently left out Turley , who Boehner hired to sue PBO.
I wish they would show the entire session.
Hatred runs deep…however only Love can conquer Hate….but i do not know if there is enough LOVE to conquer this kind of Hate
This is unspeakable. Hideous.
I’M AFRAID MY DEAR THAT IF LOVE AND HATE WERE BALANCED ON A SCALE IN THIS COUNTRY…YOU WOULD FIND ‘HATE’ TO BE THE WINNER. OUR AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT HAS SHED QUITE A BIT OF LIGHT ON TRUTH IN THIS COUNTRY…MANY ROCKS HAVE BEEN OVERTURNED…AND THE DARKNESS OF HEARTS IS AS HEAVY AS QUICKSAND!…TRUTH HURTS SOMETIMES!
i know…
I responded to that tweet. I believe Molly because she is a public figure and legislator, she may have committed a hate crime, especially since her speech is likely to result in violence against Muslims in her community.
ALTHOUGH I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT AG HOLDER DEPARTING…I HAVE NOT WATCHED ALL OF LL’S APPEARANCE IN FRONT OF THE WOLFPACK BECAUSE I CAN’T STAND WATCHING THOSE FILL IN THE BLANKS!…I KNOW THAT PBO CHOSE HER AND THAT’S ENUFF FOR ME!
Russian military planes near UK airspace caused “disruption to civil aviation” on Wednesday, the UK Foreign Office says.
It said the Russian aircraft did not enter UK airspace, but the manoeuvres were “part of increasing pattern of out-of-area operations” by Russia.

“But the maddening finding is the 37 percent of eligible uninsured who said they were nonetheless told they didn’t qualify for coverage. The survey didn’t follow up with a question about how they were told they were ineligible.”
Which would no doubt, “unstump” the experts. I find the whole article (and probably the research) is aimed at demonstating flaws in the system rather than helping folks get healthcare

GM Nena and TOD from SoCal. I still cannot believe that Wisconsin had two chances to get rid of this guy.
3 chances.
They also gave him the control of the State Houses.
Wisc has gone mad……pardon me.
I wasted many weekends volunteering and making calls contacting DEM’s to get out the vote to recall him. I even spoke to DEMS who said that he was elected and would NOT vote to recall Scott Walker because it was too early to make a decision about him. After the recalled failed I gave up on WI voters. I will never do that again. I will volunteer to prevent a college drop out/Koch head who will be controlled by billionaires from becoming president. I would even vote for Hillary if she becomes the nominee for the DEMs.
WI voters are so stupid. the racism/homephobia in that state in the rural areas can be off the charts as well i feel. They have a $2billion deficit due to walkers stupid tax cuts for the rich and well-connected. so to paper that over, he is cutting $300 mill out of WI state schools. stupid. here in MN we have a $1bill surplus that the gov is commited to investing in eductation and infrastructure, not a give away to the rich. Why do people vote R again? so stupid. come back in 10 yrs and WI will feel like another country.
say gunnite folks
Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke with Alexis Tsipras this morning to congratulate him on what he called a victory for Progressives everywhere.
The NYC Mayor went tieless for the call and for the photo he sent out. To show solidarity with the always tie-free Tsipras.
The young (40) leader of Greece is the real Left leader many have been hoping for. One of his children is named Che, for one clue.
this guy in greece shows some promise, but we’ll see what he does now with some power. i’ve been seeing articles such as this one where they’re trying to paint him as some pootin apologist:
http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/syriza-kremlin-alexis-tsipras-vladimir-putin-are-new-best-friends-1485621
but i’m not convinced he is yet. his actions now will determine it though. it would make sense if “the news” owners around the world tried to tie him – a communist – to the dictator pootin, to try and alienate this far leftist. the owners certainly do not want a radical liberal succeeding with policies that destroy their beloved “trickle-down” fantasies. russia has been “communist” in name only maybe forever, and certainly not with pootie-poot, so a real communist should recognize this and not cozy up to this sociopath. we’ll see…
