🙂 Thanks, Nerdy
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hi and bye
Hi DF and congrats on First 🙂
Thanks, tireless warrior for truth, Nerdy Wonka!
❤
Amen to that, Judith! Thank you so much Nerdy!
😀
Thanks so much, Judith!
You are entirely welcome!
In case anyone forgot the mission. 🙂
Hope we can do this.
Yes We Can!
Here this, BernieBros….you want your agenda? DO THE HARD WORK!
Great coverage of dem convention, ut. Thanks.
Thank you so much, Amk!
To Bernie: YOU built it!
She looks so cute when she makes that face after the dunk 🙂
Excellent. Call out the corrupt msm right on their face. Many dems should do it.
Saw this last night but I doubt the MSM is going to change its ways. For some reason, they let Trump get away with lying to their faces.
Yep
This is why I don’t watch cable news, Sunday shows or any punditry anymore. It’s one of the reasons why I cut the cable cord. It is shameful how utterly clueless, apathetic and impotent they all look when the subject of whether lies matter comes up. The fact that she (a supposed journalist) even asked the question (of a Senator and former comedian, for God sakes!) shows that she and her colleagues have forgotten/abandoned actual journalism.
Truly shameful MS.
yes, tell it like it is landslide Al!
Ms. greenspan looked like she swallowed a bad plum during that section of the interview. She knows how culpable SHE is on just that very matter.
Exactly!
AND the video following this one – Rachel saying the berniebots will never trust Hillary & she should concentrate on something else. Highlighting the LIES about HRC
Ugh!
Oh my, I have a strong urge for some popcorn.
His tax returns will probably also show that he’s lying about his income and charitable giving. He must be forced to release them — just like every other Presidential candidate.
These new developments underscore the importance of an old, familiar point: now, more than ever, Donald Trump must release his tax returns. To put it differently, the press should no longer “normalize” his stonewalling on this issue.
GM NCLB.
@joshtpm linked #TrumpsTaxes to his Putin-puppet status over the weekend, in a thought-provoking essay:
From the article:
“Trump’s tax returns would likely clarify the depth of his connections to and dependence on Russian capital aligned with Putin.”
The young lady who was a HRC hater picked by MSNBC to interview has a Bernie tattoo. She was caught on camera several times crying. I kept waiting for MSNBC to interview a Hillary supporter but no luck. It is amazing how clueless some of the BS supporters are. A young lady came by our house selling solar panels. I had the news on tv, and she mentioned that she was a Bernie Supporter. I asked her why and she could give me any reasons. She did not know that that the campaign was over and Hillary was our nominee. Go figure.
“I asked her why and she could not give me any reasons.”
A clue to why she might be a Bernie supporter, COS, can be found in the next sentence:
“She did not know that the campaign was over and Hillary was our nominee.”
🙂 Yes, that said it all MadameSoph. I did not inquire any further.
no point in arguing with a zombie– just back away
If you’re out there Georgians, check to see if there are run-off races in your district.
GM/GA TODville.
Haven’t paid much attention to #FeelTheBern, so didn’t quite know what to make of “the bird” as part of his logo/identity, but this made me laugh:
Here’s background on “the bird” (especially for Nena, since she can’t view @ddale8’s tweets 😦 ):
Something that TODville knows, but MSM refuse to acknowledge, given their #DemsInDissarry corporate mandate:
Whoa…so he lied and so did Weaver when they said he would stay a Dem….?
He was never a Dem. He just caucused with Dems in the Senate.
Way to convince his supporters that they have to vote for DEMOCRATS for Congress !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow.
I had hoped he was learning some lessons. But nope. He will remain his whole righteous self.
Good. He should be tarred and feathered for all the lies he tells about the Democratic Party and his shameless support for Trump. He’s nothing but a partisan hack.
lol…. I remember him being chased down by Ron Paul supporters yelling ” Fox News Sucks ” in New Hampshire in 08.
Really? Hahahaha!
Yes! Here’s a link to the twitter stream that describes the event. Hope there is video.
just click the date link.
Hahaha!
I wish I was there. This is so funny.
Me too!
Hahahahahaha!
Would love to hear her response to your tweet, Dudette. MSNBC is unwatchable with how they’re trying to stir up dissension at the DNC. Did they behave like this at the RNC where there was open rebellion against Trump on the first day?
Wow. At least tis person apologized. I have observed that the Sanders campaign brought out the worst in some of his supporters. Nina Turner is a prime example.
“this”
You are so right! Ben Jealous came over and Is With Her. Nina Turner? Oh, no. She leads the pack of resentful, angry, BS supporters that believe more in an ideal than in what Sanders stood for.
By Zeus!!! This is so true.
Fucking clueless nitwits. SO offensive.
We see it still!
And in ‘water is wet’ news….
http://www.theonion.com/article/supporters-aggravated-bernie-sanders-didnt-use-dnc-53325
How he can fix his mouth to call someone else “crooked” or “lyin” I’ll never know…
Yeh Baby! 💪🏾🙋🏽✊🏾
I’m telling you. I hope the Supreme Righteous Leader thanked the Democrats for the free ride and the mess left behind.
THIS is why no one should be surprised, outraged or upset that longtime Dems at the DNC preferred the remaining actual longtime Dem running in the contest. Just imagine if someone who’d been a Dem all of their life decided to challenge the never-ending candidate Jill Stein for the Green nom. Hmmnnn, who would the Green insiders prefer to win?
What Sanders attempted was a TAKEOVER of the Democratic Party. It didn’t work, but he indeed did some damage. Mostly, he is doing some damage to the work Barack Obama had done in bringing a lot of young people within the democratic party, getting them engaged, letting them know that protesting isn’t enough, is far from enough.
Damn, I hope Sanders doesn’t create a whole generation of ineffective whiners.
I’m furious that after asking his supporters to vote for democrats for Congress, he is returning to his status of Independent. Wow. What do you think his naive followers will do ??????
Should have known better…
Will they have to go through the entire roll call for HRC to get the number needed for nomination?
May have found my answer…
I thought everyone knew that. Who else did they think built it?
I knew it. Thought it was common knowledge also.
Hello TODable TODville Community.
What a Great Job Nerdy Wonka has been doing for weeks now. The #DemsInPhilly coverage is AAA+. Thank you, NW.
Congrats to all the Gold ⭐ winners since last Evening.
{{{{ ❤ Chips ❤ }}}}
does anyone know what time the dnc starts today/tonight? please. thank you 🙂
I’m not sure. Check C-SPAN’s schedule and that might give you an idea. They are the ones who cover everything. Hope this helps.
thank you Ms. Wonka 🙂
Yesterday, CSPAN coverage of DNC started at 4pm EST, 1pm PST. I assume it will be the same today.
thank you Betsy, it’ll probably be the same on youtube also- where I watched yesterday.
BTW, don’t let your F&F forget who was a big instigator of the “attack HRC from the left” brigade. I’m not surprised so many of them fell for it.
This is from 2015, so this was the plan all along:

WH Presser is LIVE, already in progress with The Deputy Sec: Mr. Eric Schultz
GA Nena.
And @schultz44 said this:
Expect epic speech tomorrow from PBO — MSM and “undecided” voters won’t know what hit them.
GA, Arapaho.
Anticipation is really killing me 😉
I thought I read something from some official that briefings are a courtesy, not required and Intel folks only disclose what POTUS approves. So we can breathe easier.
I hope they feed him some fake stuff that sounds juicy and then arrest his ass when he blabs it.
Wow! She was young!
http://www.peacock-panache.com/2016/07/russian-hackers-emails-wikileaks-23928.html
New evidence is emerging that content from the DNC emails accessed by Russian hackers may have been altered before being released to Wikileaks. This added layer of information joined with the timing of the release and Trump’s cozy relationship with Putin paint a picture of deep collusion and planning aimed at fracturing any potential Democratic unity at the most crucial point in the 2016 presidential election cycle.
Thomas Rid at Motherboard Vice reported on the discovery this morning:
The metadata in the leaked documents are perhaps most revealing: one dumped document was modified using Russian language settings, by a user named “Феликс Эдмундович,” a code name referring to the founder of the Soviet Secret Police, the Cheka, memorialised in a 15-ton iron statue in front of the old KGB headquarters during Soviet times. The original intruders made other errors: one leaked document included hyperlink error messages in Cyrillic, the result of editing the file on a computer with Russian language settings. After this mistake became public, the intruders removed the Cyrillic information from the metadata in the next dump and carefully used made-up user names from different world regions, thereby confirming they had made a mistake in the first round.

I am shocked!!!!!!
She doesn’t pass the “ready to be President” test.
SWBluega,
Don’t do this to a fellow Democrat at work. I can’t take this one.
LOL.
😀 😀 😀
1. The choice of a vice president is the nominee’s alone. There’s no voice vote.
2. Nina Turner is not a Democrat who would serve Hillary Clinton
3. She isn’t qualified to be VP let alone POTUS.
DUH!!!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Another example of Berniebots (some who should know better) trying to change the rules in the middle of the game.
HRC made some “concessions” to promote party unity and in the grand scheme of things, is not a big deal.
Nina (or anyone else that the Berniebots might put forward for that matter) for VP?!?!?!? Not happening.
WTH? Can they actually replace Kaine?
No
No chance! This is all about attracting media attention.
So after all that were written, Now The Reality? OK, then.
There ya go!
I do not agree with George Will on much…but at least he had the moral character to state the Republican Party is no longer his party. And now…he went there (Trump ties to Putin/Russia) on FOX News no less. Good for him.
So Alicia Keys and Andra Day are performing tonight.
M-Sanders-N-Bain-C…
And Rachel going all in with sanders barely mentions Hillary.
This equals producers… Producers that trump must have lobbied behind the scenes.
Look at the faces of all the girls when Frankenstein said the media has to do a better job with trump lies?
They looked frightened!
😡
Franken not Frankenstein 🤑
This is why I thought the Trump shorts were so vital. People who have not been following politics got a good taste of what Trump has been saying in his own words.
Doesn’t include the huge number of us that were on C-SPAN last night.
Does this take into consideration those of us who watch via YouTube or C-Span?
No. C-SPAN never reports Rating numbers.
No, not YouTube ratings numbers either. This doesn’t include any other Live Streaming numbers.Just TV & Cablers.
Thanks, Nena.
No Child, that’s why a President Trump won’t bother them, they have money.
You’re right.

I wanted to say hi to everyone, and to thank you all, especially Nerdy Wonka, but also all of you for your amazing coverage of the convention so far. It is my birthday today and last night I had a party to celebrate. So I did not get to see these speeches live. So as I try to catch up to the present (I am still 2 threads behind) I find I keep watching every link to every bit of all the speeches, tweets, and articles you all are posting to try to catch the flavor of what I missed.
I am burning through a box of kleenex with all the times I have watched segments and the entirely of Michelle’s amazing speech. I am a mess, but a very happy and extremely proud mess. So proud to be able to call her my, our, First Lady. So happy for all of you at TOD, and so thankful for Nerdy Wonka and our dear Chips for bringing this amazing place into existence and keeping it going for all of us. Hugs, hugs, hugs to you all. And may the remaining days of this convention and this historic election be as uplifting as last night’s convention.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, cd4biden!! Sounds like you’re having an extraordinary day. Very best wishes for lots of joy and cake!!
Thank you so much meta. I’m now watching the roll call, and it is extraordinary that we are witnessing this momentous event. :-):-)
happy birthday! dems are putting on a great party for you! 🙂
Thank you, and I couldn’t ask for a better present.
Happy Birthday cd4biden glad you were able to celebrate and not miss our awesome FLOTUS speech last night.
Thank you, jojo.
Being 2 threads behind also – happy birday cd4biden – enjoy today’s party
Thanks 99. I am enjoying today’s party at the DNC.
New post.

It looks like the official nomination will begin at 4:30 . Terry McAuliffe is the one to do it.
When one has created an alternative world so unrealistic, that followers refuse to accept a defeat.
And at the end of the day – after criticising Hillary, the DNC and Debbie – he is not a democrat. Hope they ignore him in cogress 100%
