Really, America???!!! Not ok. Really, really NOT OK!
What have we become? Actually, what have we gone back to being?
TOTAL REGRESSION………………..THESE TIMES ARE WRITTEN PRIOR TO THE RETURN OF OUR BLESSED HOPE………SOONER THAN YOU THINK…CLOSER THAN YOU KNOW……………
THIS WAS CREATED LONG BEFORE THE DONALD…EVENGELICALS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS EVERYDAY SINCE PBO FIRST CAME INTO OFFICE…THE ANTI-CHRIST/MUSLIM CONSPIRACY………………….
FURST.
Not furst. Tied. I’ll share this spot with you if you’re nice. Speaking of nice, how did your speech go?
hrrrmph….
It went ok. #noshoesinflight
Apologize to DF. Right now.
I’m so clueless…can you translate amk’s temper tantrum for me? #grumpyass
DF, grumpy ass speaks a language with which I am not familiar – we’re better off not knowing what he’s rambling about.

Only you would take that as a compliment.

MET A SUPER SWEET GIRL FROM KENYA LAST WEEK….SUCH A JOYFUL CONVERSATION!
BT BT DOWN DOWN
This looks urgent! Shall I call 911?
Are you alright there?
Really! We should fear the young aggrieved well-armed white male, not our Muslim citizens.
YOU THOUGHT HE WAS BAD…WAIT…JUST WAIT FOR THE TED CRUZ TRAUMA…HE MAKES HITLER LOOK LIKE A BOY SCOUT!
That’s the truth, Sue. Trump is ultimately a buffoon. Cruz is pure unadulterated evil.
Where’s Voldemort?
Good morning, Chips and TODville!
Cant’ wait to see this year’s family portrait!
Mooooooooorning Ms Majestic!!!
Heeyyyyyyyy, Chipstar!! I hope everything is going your way!!
Everything is mighty fine, Meta, I hope all’s fabulous with you!
Wonderful!
TBH, I’ve been feeling gross and overwhelmed by the horrific ugliness of current events. It’s just been awful every day. So I’ve had to retreat to Netflix. Can’t wait for the First Family to jet off to the beauty and serenity of Hawaii. They so deserve some tranquility.
A TRIP THEY GENUINELY NEED AND I HOPE PBO IS NOT INTERRUPTED!
Yes, please! They deserve an uninterrupted Christmas.
WATCHING THE FIBS IN THE WATER YESTERDAY…TIS’ NOT IN THE WATER…SOMEWHERE WITH GRANDMA AND CHILD’S THINGS….
STILL LAUGHING OVER FLOTUS RAP ON COLLEGE…AWESOME!
Coolest FLOTUS ever!!
PUT IT ON MY FB…AM CERTAIN RIGHT WINGERS VOMITING BY NOW FROM ENVY!
Love FLOTUS.
The dumbing down of behavior. UGH UGH UGH.
Good morning everyone. Thanks for the photos. Where does the time go? Looking forward to the photo this year. The girls and FLOTUS will be stunning.
The Republicans made Donald Trump and his racists supporters by saying for seven years that lying, disrespect, name calling, racism was just fine toward this black President. If years ago Republican leadership would have stood up and said to their base we disagree with President Obama policies but we will not tolerate any form of racism toward him or anyone else. Instead they allow it and alot of Republican politicians from Capital Hill to local and state show their racism and the leaders of the Republican party remain silent. So now to the Republican leadership the racists freaks have been set free and Donald Trump is their leader..But you have alot to do with it too. Yes Trump has resonating with something, it’s call RACISM.
Excellent, meta! Won’t hear THIS on the news!
I’m confused, too!
Morning. Isn’t this the day the money for operating the federal government runs out? All Trump all the time and this critical issue seems to have disappeared from the news.
Last night I made a vow that I hope I can keep. I’m going to do everything in my small power to ensure that a Democrat is elected president in 2016, but I’m not going to be sucked into panicking over the evilness of the R presidential candidates until next November. Worry and anxiety over this has been sapping my strength and keeping me awake at night. We (I) can’t let them do that to us (me).
MY DEAR..I FOCUS ON CHRIST..NOT WHAT ROADKILL IS NEXT IN THE STREET. WHEN YOU FOCUS ON JESUS…THIS TOO SHALL PASS…:)
Goodness morning JG. I know exactly what you mean. It is all-consuming for me. I am surrounded by stupid people that want fear to be a staple in our lives, which is exactly what Osama bin Laden wanted and is happening. I too will work to get a Dem in the Whitehouse even though I will hold my nose to vote for HRC.
I’LL HAVE TO FILL MY NOSE WITH SILLY PUTTY!…HOWEVER…SOMETHING IS IN THE WIND…I DON’T BELIEVE THERE WILL BE AN ELECTION……………….
Good morning, jackie. I’m feeling sapped, too.
PBO will be signing a short term CR.
Trump racists B.S. might be good for Moonves pocket book, but not good for America.

Good Morning BFF and TOD.
The firearm, a fully loaded… It’s not uncommon for the Augusta area stores to find as many as three guns a year in donation boxes …
Last year, Goodwill donated more than 1,100 rounds of ammunition to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office. Some ammo was set aside for training; some was destroyed. …
Good West Coast morning Chipsticks & TOD family.
Wow, that a BIG bouquet of flowers for our SoS Kerry
I have a proposal to make to TODers, which I hope we can explore on different posts. Since we’re entering a long season of the dark soul in this country, it would be good if each of us made a commitment to post something positive each day. By that I mean a positive event on a local, state, federal or international level, or a comment from one of more of the decent people that I believe still number in the majority in the US. I’m not talking about being oblivious to all the ugliness in the word, I just talking about providing an antidote.
I fully agree, jackie. In fact, I made a mental note of that when I posted the story about the movers who help DV victims. We really, really need to balance all this toxic hatred and vile nonsense with sanity and beauty breaks. I’M IN!!
I like that idea…i would like to add…that we add posts of ordinary people moving forward with their marching shoes on….that we are not alone…that there are folks who are waging battles big and small to “Perfect our Union”
Unworthy site and Yes! have lots of positive stories.
Sorry: typo It’s Upworthy (actually it was a autocorrect by my MacBook which does not recognize “Upworthy”
Yes. I like this idea.
I agree. All those ‘polls’ showing one thug or the other ‘leading’ is all pure bs. Polling has lost all its relevance and truthiness. Even gallup gave up on them and now we have unknown and unreliable ‘pollsters’ just ginning up the horse race bs aided and abetted by fifth columnist media. Let’s just mock at them and post the positives as a counterbalance.
Well, whaddayaknow. Right on cue, yet another ‘pollster’ now has krispe kreme kristie ‘surging’ to 2nd place in NH.

Excellent idea, jackie.
Great idea. I’ve been very down reading about what’s going on. I’d love to do this.
Agreed, we don’t need to be perpetuating and promoting gloom and doom.
Excellent suggestion!
Good Morning, Everyone 🙂

New England police union endorses Donald Trump – The Boston Globe http://bit.ly/1Y6YuHF
Because everything thing he proposes is unconstitutional? This is just another indictment against police!
They have Star Wars costumes for grown-azz people in Target. NOT in the kids section -this was in the grown-folks section.
um…..ok….
Don’t laugh, Rikyrah, but I was going to get tickets from my son and I to go see Star Wars at 8 am on a Sunday morning. My wife was like “you’re a grown ass man and you’re going to subject our son to your dumbassery.”
I understand the tickets….
the costumes…um…no, and it’s not Halloween.
I decided to follow because I prefer FACTS to fear.
I am so proud of my former country!
HOPE!!
CNN is the home of next week’s Republican debate, and tonight’s ever-encroaching instance of corporate synergy found Turner’s Charles Barkley being forced, hostage-proof-of-life style, to talk politics. And talk he did, slamming Donald Trump and trashing CNN—saying the network has “done an awful job this election.”
We really feel for the person who had to tell Barkley he was going to be forced into a five-minute discussion of politics. But it was not, exactly, great television—even if he characterized Republican voters as “losers” and that “your life sucks because of you.” That portion alone probably makes this all worth it.

It’s been raining the last couple of days with lots of big waves and now rainbow effect:
❤ Mornin' y'all – back in a bit with New Moon specifics – today's the day! ❤
Did I miss your birthday? I’ve been overwhelmed but that is NO excuse.
Ok I’m here, you can all relax now.
Whew!
what a contrast to the neighbor.
Chat away

Good morning all of TODville. I saw yesterday someone mention that we should post good news daily, I so agree. I’ll start today with my local news. Last night I went to an early fundraiser for my MT legislator, Bryce Bennett. He started in politics as a very young man, 21. This will be his last election for the legislator, we have term limits. I am so hopeful he will then run for the Senate against our Daines. Bryce restores my hope that there are many honest, hard working, compassionate, young people getting into politics. He has worked hard on voting rights, medicare expansion, and LGBT rights. I do believe he will be someone to watch. He has a facebook page.
Excellent post, mtmarilyn!
Uh! Birthday festivities have made me remiss: the New Moon conjunction took place this morning 12/11/2015. 19.03 Sagittarius. 5:29 am EST 2:29 am PST. There you have it – and MP enjoyed a most wonderful Solar Return yesterday. Thanking all for the well wishes, love, Light and prayer! I feel a very fine year moving in. (Despite the nasty efforts of the GOP to disintegrate all life on Planet
Earth) (They will fail miserably)
