Thank you for the wonderful diaries. Hi to all the todders. And HRC will be the next President of the USA.
Hay Trump, you call that viciously attack. Check the last seven and a half years and see what President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama have had to deal with. But despite it all they are not tweeting back at someone every time things are said about them. They live by this motto, try it Donald J. Trump. “WHEN THEY GO LOW, WE GO HIGH.”
.@NerdyWonka The reckless nasty behavior displayed by That BuffoonDrumpf is the product from 44yrs (starting w/Nixon) of GOP racist R&D. Trump👉GOP.
Go Judith!!
jaw dropping isn’t the part of it – HE doesn’t even support his own people – “I was not involved – I have my own ideas”
It would be a nightmare working for this fool – and good odds they won’t get paid – seems most of his staff have an ulterior motive wherein electing Mr Trump is a means to their ends.
Such a bullshiter.
classless. clueless.
and here I thought we had seen the last of shrub.
Not only does she have to bear an unspeakable pain, she has to put up with being criticized by a sociopath who has sacrificed nothing. The GOP and the media that have enabled them to drag the country to this shameful point have committed treason. Every decent person should rise up, go to the ballot box to send them back under the rocks to be seen and heard from no more.
thanks a lot for highlighting this.
it is simply incredible and should be shared in its entirety
Nerdy, thank you so, so much for all that you are doing for Ms. Chips and TOD’ville. ♥️ ♥️ ♥️
That ignorant and offensive tweet from Piers Morgan got me thinking of this. Another legacy of Bush/Cheney illegal wars…and he wants to blame the woman for Capt. Khan’s death. FU, Piers.
MILITARYUS
denoting or relating to a policy of forcibly retaining members of the armed forces on active duty beyond their original agreed period of enlistment.
another racist pos product from rupie fifth columnist parade. they are all bleating since they are all losing.

Hello friends, Sharing a story written by one of our TN delegates. He lives here in Knoxville and teaches at UT. It’s about a father and his 10-year old son from MN. Our delegate met the father on the bus and learned the story he shares in this article. The father fled Somalia; is an accountant. His son pushed him to join the caucus process, then work to become a delegate (for HRC). Read the story. It is uplifting and gives us hope for our future.

Wouldn’t it be ironic that Trump’s political downfall came at the hands of a Muslim?
It sure would! Karma and then some…..
oh Lord, let it be! I am really pissed at this xenophobe attacking these parents.
I thought I had topped out at my anger about DT and nothing could push me at even more extremes because I was at the maximum that a body could handle;
but these attacks on the Khans have my whole body exploding.
the punk must be defeated in a historical landslide
I had a dorm mom, don’t ask me how many years ago, who said it was important to always give certain people some extra rope, that those who were wrong, or bad or whatever, would eventually hang themselves without any effort on our part. We don’t have to do anything. Trump and his followers are destroying themselves.
A friend sent me a spiritual email this morning, and this paragraph caught my eye:
“The best way to respond, I realized, is to avoid the temptation to react. Stay calm, stay positive. Choose to have faith that basic human decency will prevail. Keep your practice strong, if you have one, Find the funny side of things. The dark must be confronted courageously, but it is counterproductive to allow ourselves to be drawn into a fight on its own terms.”
May you find some calming peace today GCL.
thanks a lot. I will need this
good advice cd4 🙂
Linda, Trump reaches new depths every day. When it seems that he can’t go any lower or deeper, he does.
Yes God! That would be KARMA at its perfect best
You better brace yourself. Given Trump’s propensity for dangerous talk, we’re in for a lot more things to get angry about over the course of this campaign.
Bullshitting liar
http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/07/watch-trump-brag-of-speaking-to-vladimir-putin
On Wednesday, Donald Trump angrily told reporters that he had no connection to Russian President Vladimir Putin. “I have nothing to do with Putin,” he said. “I’ve never spoken to him. I don’t know anything about him other than he will respect me.”
But those comments contradict what he said in 2014, when he spoke at an event at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. During this appearance, he discussed US-Russian relations and claimed that he had talked to Putin during a recent visit to Moscow, where Trump held his Miss Universe pageant. Here’s what Trump told the Press Club audience:
Russia does not respect our country any longer. They see we’ve been greatly weakened, both militarily and otherwise, and he certainly does not respect President Obama. So what I would do—as an example, I own Miss Universe, I was in Russia, I was in Moscow recently and I spoke, indirectly and directly, with President Putin, who could not have been nicer, and we had a tremendous success. The show was live from Moscow and we had tremendous success there and it was amazing, but to do well, you have to get the other side to respect you, and he does not respect our president, which is very sad.
Trump campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Trump’s claim that he has spoken to Putin.
Bobfr, thank you for this. These HRC videos have me in happy and proud tears lately.
nice one Bob! 🙂
Excellent, NW!
thanks VC! 🙂
YVW – always. 🙂
GA TODville.
We all agree that Trump is an lying, sociopathic narcissist, but he is too much an idiot to even *know* what he should lie about.
On ABC this morning:
On CBS this morning:
JHC.
All DT’s people lie! It’s a prerequisite to work for him, I’m sure. “Can you flat out lie with a straight face?” “Yes, no problem!” “Welcome to the team of liars we’ve assembled to continue our lies to the American people and our march toward fascism!Welcome aboard.”
I believe him, I mean it’s only Russia invading Ukraine. To think that they in fact did discuss Russia and the Ukraine would mean that they were somehow deep thinkers. I take them at their word that they didn’t have this discussion.
GE Don.
Manafort worked for Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovich (Ukraine President who fled to Russia during the #Euromaidan crisis which led to Russia annexing Crimea) and Interpol placed Yanukovych on its wanted list in January 2015.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Manafort
So yeah, Trump is a certified idiot, but Manafort is pulling the strings. Read the excerpt in @KevinMaddenDC’s tweet — Trump says he “wasn’t involved” in the RNC platform, others who work for him did.
Electing Trump President would effectively mean we’re electing Putin’s right hand man to be Trump’s Cheney — making all the decisions (in favor of Russia — withdrawing from NATO, doing whatever benefits Putin).
Hello TOD Community.
I am so appreciative of a Lady by the name of Nerdy Wonka. Thank you. Thank you for keeping TOD Rocking & Rolling.

Congrats to Wilson Michael for your Gold ⭐
Thanks to all that are involved with running this blog!
My Republican coworkers can barely look me in the eye these days, oh how I look forward to Mondays now.
🙂 sweet. Bet you walk in with a big ole smile…hurts more that way. They’ve been lied to all these years…have a LITTLE pity.
Desertflower you have no idea, the contortions they place themselves in trying to defend Trump is both funny and sad, more funny than anything else.
You really have to wonder, with all the offensive things that he’s already said, what would make them say that he’s not worthy or capable of the office…They have been in deep, deep denial for a loooooooong time!
Well first of all I’m in a small town in Texas, so you can start from their.
I get the “I vote for the person not the party” and “I don’t follow politics”. That’s to avoid the guilt by association. Either they would certainly never vote for someone unfit or they are just not aware of Trump. Baloney.
LIVE: Clinton and Kaine hold event in Columbus, Ohio – http://www.msnbc.com/live-online/watch/live-clinton-and-kaine-hold-event-in-ohio-735604291906
waiting for Clinton/Kaine speech at rally in Columbus, capital of the Ultimate Swing State aka Ohio.
There you have it, Priebus is all in, my god.
They are going to be tripping all over themselves trying to keep up with what Trump does and doesn’t agree with.
Egg. Sack. Lee (sorry amk, I do not do you justice)
Especially because what he agrees or disagrees with changes from day to day, and even hour to hour. Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh the karma of it all. They look like my cat running around trying to catch that laser pointer light thingy. hahahaha. Hey, don’t blame me. I’m just trying to find the humor in all this, like that spiritual paragraph I quoted in an above post.
They thought they could defeat him in the primaries
They thought they could control him in the campaign
And they think they can advise him in the white house – If it wouldn’t be the end of the world as we know it – the GOP deserves to have him in the white house – why do the democrats ALWAYS have to sort out the republicans sh!t
Let them let Trump take down the whole damn mess. He’s going to burn it down to the ground.
So Priebus, your nominee is a racists, you agree with that.
So finally, there is a bridge that McConnell considers to be too far.
Chicken s**t. Excuse my mouth.
It is amazing how things work out; Mitch McConnell plotted to make Barack Obama a one term President. And almost eight years later McConnell is praising a Muslim father that lost his son in a war the President Obama opposed and that McConnell himself was in favor of.
The description of the debates – “These extremely important civic education forums”
On one side of the 2016 debates will be extremely ignorant civic knowledge – I know more about US civics than Trump & I live in Australia!
You know, 99, most of the entire world knows more about US civics than the citizens of the USofA. Except for those here who had to wait years and years, fill out form after form, wait some more, take a test, and finally become a citizen of this country, like the Khans. They also know more because they have lived in those other countries and know what a blessing this form of government is. And they cherish it.
And I am ashamed to say that everywhere I have traveled in the world, when I talk with the local residents, they know more about our economy, our school systems, politics, science, everything than I do, and I always thought I was pretty intelligent and well read.
Must admit – I have a laugh when so many in the US think their own constitutional amendments are valid in all countries across the globe.
Understanding civics in any country seems to be purely a matter of interest. We had only 2 or 3 lessons on our system of government in 4th grade, I became fascinated – so I learnt more. My daughter has not a clue – despite my best efforts. She has no interest at all other than the usual “all politicians are bad”. I try my best to correct the worst of the ill conceived ideas that she gets from wherever.
Good day TOD! Well, it has been quite the morning:-) I actually burst out laughing that Trump does not know that Putin invaded Ukraine. His lack of knowledge is mind boggling.
And I am so thrilled that the Khan family has no qualms about taking him and the entire GOP on for their support of him. I actually think they can turn some traditional GOP voters in a way that no Dem or Indie can. And as Don noted, that it is a Muslim family taking him down is about the sweetest thing ever.
All that said, I suspect this is going to be a 5 point election for Hillary, at most. The hatred for her amongst his supporters is incredibly intense. She will not turn any of them. The question is whether they will turn out and I suspect they will. As I noted yesterday from the Atlantic piece, this is their revenge against the “humiliation” of having to put up with a black guy in the WH, and they see a woman in that position as even more humiliating. Finally, as to the more traditional Republicans, in the end it may will be that quite a number of them simply do not vote for either presidential candidate rather than vote for Hillary. All of that leads to the conclusion it will NOT be a blow out but a tight race that we need to work for until the last ballot is counted. And this sounds silly, but do not hope that Trump completely implodes or quits before the election. Given the humiliation traditional Republicans feel, they would flock to the polls against Hillary if somehow they got a more traditional candidate on the ballot. Have no idea how that would work, but it is not something we want to see happen.
And just a gentle reminder, it is the last day of the month for fundraising so please give to her if you can. Even $5.00 helps.
Oh, thanks for the reminder to donate, Foxfire. I’m on it right now. 🙂
Foxfire,
I agree we should not hope Trump is replaced last minute. It would give R’s an excuse to vote for the GOP as well as those that do not like Hillary. It also would not give adequate vetting time for the replacement candidate who would push the policies we do not want.
Could this be DT’s 47% remark??
That and so much more all rolled into one.
Hillary Clinton one-on-one Interview at FOX NEWS SUNDAY, 7/31/16
She is one tough cookie. I’m with her.
I find it absolutely hypocritical that reporters are happy to grill HRC in detail, and yet allow Trump to lie at will with little challenge, let alone grill Trump on policy.
They know that if they grilled him he would either come off looking like a total fool or implode on the spot, neither of which they can afford to have happen, being that they are owned by Republicans.
It is unbelievably partisan – so much for the freedom of the press.
And I would add disabled, elderly, homeless, out-of-work, Asian, Native American, and all women and children to the list in this tweet.
That assumes that these BoB-ers HAVE friends in those demographics.
I saw one woman on a political blog explain that she didn’t have any children, and she was old enough not to care about voting just to keep Trump away from the presidency. No empathy, just pure selfishness.
She clearly thinks she won’t be impacted by the consequences. A third world war, destroyed economy, rampant violence in the streets, a generation of uneducated, selfish children, the inability of Americans to travel the world safely – these are just some of the potential disasters that will be ushered in by a Trump presidency. She’s not only selfish – she’s clueless.
People are so quick and creative in their thought process;
I really like this modification of Yes We Can to Yes We Khan;
ha. that’s great! 🙂
I hope we can use it more
Didn’t Graham and McConnell get ol’ Reince’s memo? They aren’t to agree with anything when The Don disagrees.
Love it. This couldn’t have happened to a more deserving bunch of cretins. Take this party down, Trump.
“If you are going to be leader of the free world you have to be able to accept criticism” – So Lindsay beginning to realise how they treated PBO and what the democrats (and others) might do if Trump were anywhere near the white house
I wonder how many of the GOP Congress will be voting for Hillary, and crossing all fingers and toes.
Hi theo – I’m thinking it more likely that they will bypass the top of the ballot & only vote further down. Most are too spineless to vote for Hillary.
But the clear & present danger is Trump at the top of the ticket.
Clinton, Kaine have arrived. The event now happening
http://www.msnbc.com/live-online/watch/live-clinton-and-kaine-hold-event-in-ohio-735604291906
Something those Bern-Bots can’t quite seem to grasp.
nope..they can’t
Wow, I thought he had five deferments and now I learn it’s actually SIX. What a complete fraud.
Another chicken s**t. So full of bluster when campaigning against Paul Nehlen for his House seat, but a total chicken when it comes to actually denouncing DT. And excuse my mouth again. It has a bad habit when it comes to tolerating idiots.
Me thinks its that ol’ woman thingy behind it all.
kapow
Former PM of Ukraine.
Translation:
Trump: the people of the Crimea, as I heard, chose to be with Russia, rather than where it was before. And this should be borne in mind
If he is not in the throes of dementia – he is evil
