Can’t believe I am actually in first place. It’s been soooo looong. LOL. Good Morning TOD village. And Thank you Nerdy for all you do to keep this place going and keeping us informed. Lots of crap going on right now. Those RWNJ’s just don’t give up.
Congrats, Roberta, your hard work and dedication has paid off. Enjoy everything that comes with it, but don’t let it change you and don’t take it for granted. And now, Ladies and Gentleman, it is with great honor that I present to you Roberta in MN!
GM df, off to school today? My Nephews daughters live in Waddell and they started school last week I think. It seems so early. Hope you have some great kids in your classes this year. Have a wonderful day.
Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Friday morning. TGIF>> Congrats Roberta, on being first this morning.
Nerdy, thanks so much for helping Ms. Chips and the sacrifices you are making for us TOD”ders. 💫🙏👌👊❤
To all, I hope that you are successful, triumphant, and victorious in all that you encounter today. ❤ ❤ ❤
Thank God that President Obama is still the President of The United States of America. ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆
So glad about the end of private prisons in the U.S. Many people have made fortunes from this scam, including the wife of one of our former governors, Frank Keating. Disgraceful. The conditions are far inferior to the federally regulated prisons. This is a big step forward.
Thanks so much Roberta. A distressing visit at the vet yesterday. She’s lost more weight. We’ll know more when we get lab results today. I shoved more food down her yesterday and her weight was up a little this morning. She’s now anemic, which can be a symptom of all the things we’ve already considered. It’s breaking my heart…….
I assume Pearl is your dog? I’m so sorry! I went through the loss of my beloved golden retriever 2 years ago and it broke my heart. I’m familiar with the symptoms. Big big hug to you! {{{{{{57}}}}}}}}}}
Thanks, Sherry. She a yorkie who we adopted after she’d been a puppy mill breeder. I swing from hopeful to fear to tears and everything in between. She’s my baby (at about 12, 13 years old).
It’s the classic Trump-media dynamic: He says “jump” they say “how high?” He wants them to focus on the word “regret.” And for the most part, they’ll happily oblige.
I’m looking forward to some rapid response videos from the Clinton Campaign on Trump’s TelePrompter Regrets. There is such a wealth of material to work with.
Only thing Trump regrets is that the voters are not wanting to vote for him. Relates to some of the people some of the time etc. Or as Bush said – you can’t be fooled twice.
Trump has demonstrated his ability to surround himself with inept, corrupt and traitorous people during his campaign. His latest pick of Bannon is doubling down on his poor judgement.
I remember when then candidate Obama said to watch his decision making skills during his campaign as an indicator of how he could run the government when the argument was he has never run anything.
Using that same example for Trump shows The Donald does poorly at running his companies with the proof being the number of bankruptcies, the bringing in and hiring of foreign workers for businesses here, the promotion of jobs for cheap labor abroad in his companies (which he rails against), the affiliation with leaders from known enemies of our country as well as his choice of people to run his campaign. His own campaigning style, mean and insulting remarks and numerous lies may be able to be hid for the remainder of the campaign but would surface immediately upon being elected to the Presidency.
Donald Trump has shown during his lifetime he is not suited to the Presidency. He has shown during the campaign that he is not suited for the Presidency. He does do well at name branding and creating chaos which makes him well suited to reality tv.
G’morning Nerdy & TOD! Congrats Roberta and Happy Friday everyone! 🙂
Thanks #OBAMA for ending use of private prisons.
I cannot believe folks were making money from “prison stocks!” I mean WTF…that’s a serious conflict of interest where justice and law enforcement are concerned.
Manfort’s resignation was biggest non-surprise of appalling DJT campaign.
Writing was on the wall when Breitbart CEO Bannon added this week.
DJT is now trying to escape felony charges himself — which may happen, but doubtfully before Nov (so much evidence to pursue, investigate and compile into a case):
AP showed clearly yesterday that Manafort and Gates were unregistered foreign agents. Which is a felony.
In the quest to find the fountain of youth, scientists may one day look to Latinos to find the answer, as a new study shows they age at a slower rate than individuals of other ethnicities. The findings, published in Genome Biology, used several biomarkers to study changes linked to aging in the genome.
“Latinos live longer than Caucasians, despite experiencing higher rates of diabetes and other diseases,” Steve Horvath, lead author and professor of human genetics at the David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles, said in a news release. “Our study helps explain this by demonstrating that Latinos age more slowly at the molecular level.”
The biomarkers evaluated included an “epigenetic clock” developed by Horvath that tracks an epigenetic shift linked to aging in the genome. Epigenetics is the study of changes to the DNA molecule that influence which genes are active but don’t alter the DNA sequence itself.
“He tells them, ‘Yeah, I stabbed them. I’m a white supremacist,’” Lower said. “He begins talking about Donald Trump rallies and attacking people at the Black Lives Matter protest.”
…………………..
police said Rowe’s behavior grew stranger as officers tried to wrestle him into the back of a patrol car.
“He tells them, ‘Yeah, I stabbed them. I’m a white supremacist,’” Lower said. “He begins talking about Donald Trump rallies and attacking people at the Black Lives Matter protest.”
…
According to court documents obtained by the Olympian, Rowe, who was unconscious when police encountered him, had tattoos that read “skinhead,” “white power” and “hooligan.” One tattoo showed the Confederate flag.
…
“This has all the hallmarks of a hate crime,” Deputy Prosecutor Joseph Wheeler said
So Trump is heading to Louisiana for a photo-op. And the media wants to know why President Obama has not been there, once again trying to compare this to Katrina.
Donald Trump and his running mate Mike Pence plan to tour flooded areas in Louisiana on Friday.
Details of the trip have not been publicly released, and Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Richard Carbo, a spokesman for the Louisiana governor’s office, told CBS on Thursday that they had not been contacted about the Republican nominee’s trip. Carbo said he welcomed Trump to the state, “but not for a photo-op,” and that he should “consider volunteering or making a sizable donation to the LA Flood Relief Fund to help the victims of this storm.”
Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway on Friday called the visit of the Republican nominee and running mate Gov. Mike Pence “presidential” and “a decidedly nonpolitical event, no press allowed, going to help people on the ground who are in need.”
Trump is going to “help people on the ground who are in need” – hahahaha – he wouldn’t know how. No doubt the media will be given the odd picture or two.
Every report on this just has to mention that the Louisiana Governor is a democrat. Funny that most GOP Governors hide their party and the media just refers to them by name.
The Justice Department announcement in the lead tweet is just one more thing our President has gotten done, without fanfare, quietly, compassionately, and constructively.
President Obama knows how disruptive a visit from POTUS would be to any area. While there were those who criticized that PBO did not cancel his vacation to go to LA, PBO did what he needed to do from a distance and provided the Federal resources needed. The governor appreciated that a whole lot more (and said so) than having someone come in, take away vital resources they needed to deal with the crisis at hand.
DJT supporters are such an embarrassment to the US — I wonder if, when they watch this clip they (or relatives/friends who see it and mention to them) have any realization of how their “beliefs” (aka prejudices) sound to the real world.

Don, you are priceless. THANK YOU for honoring me with that snappy comment. (((hugs))) have a great day.
Morning!! Roberta…you look good up there in first place:) It’s FRIDAY!! Thanks, Mr. President. AGAIN:)

There are some things that private industry might be able to do better than the Federal Government, but running prisons is not one of them.
Indeed it is, Carolyn ….
Just federal I believe, carolyn. The states, where most of the problems, are, can still shovel money to this odious enterprise.
57andfemale, GM, how is Pearl doing today? Sending healing vibes to her.
Thanks so much Roberta. A distressing visit at the vet yesterday. She’s lost more weight. We’ll know more when we get lab results today.

With you. 💔
Good morning TOD folks! Wishing everyone a good day.
Oh, baby!
It seem that the media is all set to forget the things Trump have said,
F*** the US corpmedia!
For real …..
Climatic chaos …. achieved in less than 50 years …. entirely preventable …. now, inevitable …..
bbl ….
You should see the nasty comments below PBO’s tweet all about how he isn’t going to Louisiana but playing golf… I get so tired of this. Sigh.
It’s the classic Trump-media dynamic: He says “jump” they say “how high?” He wants them to focus on the word “regret.” And for the most part, they’ll happily oblige.
and, they’ll never ASK HIM WHAT HE REGRETS.
I’m looking forward to some rapid response videos from the Clinton Campaign on Trump’s TelePrompter Regrets. There is such a wealth of material to work with.
Trump regrets that what he said affected the vote for him only. I agree with that sentiment, 99ts.
Only thing Trump regrets is that the voters are not wanting to vote for him. Relates to some of the people some of the time etc. Or as Bush said – you can’t be fooled twice.
Good Morning, Everyone 🙂

Who didn’t see this coming 😯
But … Trump picks all the best people all of the time. Wonder how long the latest lot will last.

ICYMI DF upthread, she posted a tweet that linked to this:
Read that Dems need 30 seats to re-take House control.
CA can contribute 13% of #FlipItDem seats:
Not sure if article is behind WSJ paywall, but you can read article by Googling “Issa shows down-ballot test facing the GOP.”
Good Morning TOD Family.

Correct:)

Too many wives. Too many scampaign ‘managers’.

And yet the gutless clowns called the gop ‘establishment’ couldn’t stop him.

Oh My 😉
gud gawd. the complete CD burns.
The only thing that I can say after watching this video is OMG!!!
WHOA. Well that explains a LOT. What an embarrassment to humanity.

Wow, what a find.
