🐻 ❤ This first place sweep is my reward for blowing up my vacuum cleaner in true Mercury Retrograde fashion, merely from forgetting to put in a clean bag! I sigh. I sip my tea. I take first on TOD!! 💬💗🙏💫🙀😇
Well, whatever it took, congratulations, MP.
Thank you, the hugs are much needed. I was only 3/4 finished, but I remained calm. 😉
{{{{ MP}}}}
Congrats on your first place this afternoon, MP!
Congratulations, MP! Did the noise traumatize Beatrix?
Our President needs to spend this last year crisscrossing the country. He is the best leader around; local coverage is much better. He inspires that is best in us.
And I believe he leaves a trail of Light everywhere he goes, in the atmosphere, in the environment and in people’s heart center. He is just that kind of guy.
Beautifully said MP! I believe it too!
i love this…. 🙂
“Hey, let’s do it”. Damn he’s gonna be missed !
Best.President.EVER!
Yes indeed, Dudette!
Awww! Still can’t believe he’s gone.
“Rest in Peace, Voice of God. Back to Heaven, where you came from..” I kept it together until that.
shit yeah that line did it for me too
I can’t imagine anything with that racists Trump. And you are right, hopefully we will never find out. This country even with all it’s problems deserve better then Donald Trump.
The world deserves better, AB. You are so right.
A cure for cancer could not come too soon! Cancer got me and two of my siblings in the span of 18 months.
May he rest in peace.
Sending you love, light and wishes for successful treatment, dear {{{{{ NCLB }}}}}
Thanks much, Dudette! You’re the best.
No, you are! 🙂
Sorry to hear about Celine’s husband.
_/|\_
I was wondering about her beloved husband the other day.
RIP Rene Angelil
Hugs and thoughts and prayers to you, NCLB. ❤
Now that’s such a nasty move that it should cost Gov Snyder his job. He should be recalled for allowing his residents to be abused like this.
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER ONE LIKE THIS ONE!…REMEMBER JOHNBOY’S THAT ONE?..LOL!!!!
Hiilary is on with Jimmy Fallon tonight.
Heard that she will also be on Rachel Maddow’s show. She’s staying busy.
Good. Go after the liars and drag them through the mud.
HE NEEDS TO DEPART ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER LINTBALLS HANGING ONTO THE LAST SPIN IN THE DRYER!
DON’T TOSS IN ANY ‘BOUNCE’…IT WILL MAKE THE RIDE TOO FAST FOR HIM!
Dumbest tweet ever? Wowzers.
And how is the racists sexists bully waking the country up? I guess the two bit actress mean Trump is waking the racists up.
Kelly Alley is full of alot of B.S.
Are those her directives from the Scientology Ideology?
Trump is waking up this country. Yea like Hitler woke up Germany.
Yes he is waking this country up from more hate and racism.
Such a fine actor!
On Tuesday, insurer MetLife Inc. became the second major firm in the past 10 months to decide that the demands of being “systemically important” in the eyes of regulators may outweigh the benefits of continuing to operate at its current size. General Electric Co. made the same choice in April for its giant finance arm, GE Capital.
The moves show that while the U.S. government hasn’t heeded populist calls to “break up” the nation’s largest financial firms, those demands are at times being answered through indirect pressure from regulators.
The very largest U.S. banks, some of whom report earnings this week, are also facing increasing questions about whether they can remain profitable at their current size. In recent years, the Federal Reserve and other overseers have made it clear that being big will come with costs: Large U.S. banks have added $641 billion of capital since 2009 to meet tougher regulatory rules, according to the Fed.
Those requirements make it tougher for firms to produce outsize returns.

PBO’s regulations already on the way to achieving what Bernie Sanders claims he wants to do. Seems its taking the wind out of Sanders campaign sails!!!! Lol.
BBL……………I HAVE TO GO AND OIL UP THE FLATSCREEN DARTS!
Weak! That’s chump change for them!
i know that there have been a series of settlements…not sure what it all adds up to…
😀
Ha!
You might have heard the Al Jazeera America network is shutting down soon. Well, guess what could happen next?
[collective eyerolls commence!] 🙄
I hope that’s a bad joke.
I am not surprised. Glenn Beck tried though unsuccessfully to buy out Gore & Co when Al Jazeera was Current TV.
Home safely 10 minutes ago. Thanks for your prayers and thoughts. bbl………
Yay! 🙂
Several members of my OFA team and me were in that hearing room, just to the right of this photo. The sticking point was the orchardists who don’t want to pay migrant workers even the current minimum wage. This is a good plan, but the roll-out to these wage numbers is far too long.
oops – and I
FLONYC wants some of the #OscarsSoWhite action!
Remember the General Hospital daytime actress who had so much to say when Viola Davis made her comment about black actresses, what do she has to say now I wonder.
Yeh can’t even remember her name. She is of no consequence.
I saw in our news yesterday that Liberia was ebola free. The never ending fear generated by the US media is the last stand of the 4th estate. The immediate call to arms when a US boat ventures where it should not be – is another form of this disease.
I live in a relatively fear-free part of the world. The US should be the same – but the gun lobby and the media really want to be on a war footing – internally & externally – all the time.
I cannot imagine the world without PBO keeping the peace. I will be thankful every day that I lived in his time.
the use of fear to gin up white votes for the GOP has been effective…fear of blk and brwn people….fear of Muslims….fear of the blk man as President who really is a usurper…FEAR of FEAR…..
they have NOTHING to offer America….. nothing…so they use fear to control folks…
Good luck with that, ya damned vultures!
They should be suing those individuals (in congress?) whose pockets they were lining who probably “guaranteed” that the pipeline would happen.
TransCanada is using NAFTA — the North American Free Trade Agreement — to file its lawsuit. Instead of in a court of law, the decision about billions of dollars in taxpayer money will be made undemocratically in a private tribunal.
Lawsuits like this prove just how dangerous global trade deals like the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Pact (TTIP) can be.

This petition seems more like an attack on TTP…then anything else
Thank you NW – I’ve been reading all your tweets over the past few days – always appreciated
This a thousand times over! Thank you Nerdy Wonka! ❤
🙂
Thanks so much, 99ts. 🙂
1. This is an achievable goal.
2. We’re going to need waaaaaaaaay more money.
3. Researchers have to start playing nice.
4. We have to stop treating cancer patients differently.
5. A singular “cure” for cancer suggests all cancer is the same. It isn’t.

very good article…tweeted and put it on my FB page
For Chips…
(hope it shows)
Finally made it! I was so hoping he/she would! 🙂
But, why didn’t the stick get stopped when pooch reached the vertical posts? Looks like it went through them. Doctored video? 🙂
From the article that Charles links — Alan Rickman said the following in an interview about his role in Die Hard, his very first movie:
“I didn’t know anything about LA. I didn’t know anything about the film business … I’d never made a film before, but I was extremely cheap,” he said. After reading the script, he thought: “What the hell is this? I’m not doing an action movie.”
Rickman, who was 41 at the time, was won over by the wit of the script and the progressive storyline, which still stands out from other action films. “Every single black character in that film is positive and highly intelligent,” he said. “So, 28 years ago, that’s quite revolutionary, and quietly so.”

These guys are all the same.

Sorry about that!
forget that, look at the body language…what husband looks at a camera in that way when briefly kissing his wife as if to say..did you get that? No connection at all to the woman he is kissing. Look at his left hand on her arm. how unfortunate for her.
This was nothing but a photo op.
The GOP crazies really do want to cannibalize themselves…Ted Cruz, Nikki Haley…wonder who is next 😕
Worth a watch if you can get a hold of the DVD.
Thanks, Dudette. I just put it in my queue.

Late to the party! I did want to pass along a funny one-liner out of a CNN right wing pundit earlier. While speaking about Cruz, she asked, “How do they say ‘flip-flop’ in Canada?”
Of course, they’re ALL a joke – a bad joke – to me.
Gabrielle Union was in “Something the Lord Made” with Alan Rickman and Mos Def (now Yasiin Bey). Found this on her Twitter Feed.
New post.
