From a TPM Prime member: “Now I get it! As soon as I heard [Trump] say the line involving the bully that keeps getting beat up in his “policy” speech tonight, I realized that is where he’s got it all wrong. He really believes that’s our role. To push the world around. To pick on the world to make it realize how flawed it is. To get the world to do your work for you at gunpoint if you have to. Dangerous, reckless, short-sighted, nihilistic and just plain obnoxious to hear pitched as sound thinking.”
Fly to the wrong city, is that even possible? I mean my wife ask me to pick up Tide but I pick up Cheer, I won’t make that mistake again. The wrong city, are you shitting me!
Of course Maverick was going to buckle under, this guy is like a wise guy doing everything to get made only to be made fun of. I’m surprised that they don’t send him to the airport to pick up big money GOP donors in town for the weekend.
Interesting, I thought government business couldn’t take place through private email or non-government email accounts. I think it might be impossible to prohibit government officials from conducting business strictly though government email.
I thought I had read that part of HRC’s private server use was to overcome some of the limitations to accessibility of the government hardware/software …especially given her international travel. I agree that conducting business strictly through government email is an unrealistic expectation.
I’m amazed that the government hasn’t kept up with today’s technology, I remember President Obama speaking about this at one time or another. You would think that a Secretary of State would have all the latest technological tools at her disposal.
Trump has white supremacists around him, he has them supporting him, he has KKK members supporting him, Trump has said racists things and we have black pastors wanting to ask Trump if he is a racists? OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
Very interesting, maybe her team waited for just the right moment to let her do her thing. Let Trump expose every inch of himself without saying a word, and then let Hillary chew him to pieces at just the right time. I think she was chomping at the bit to speak to the reporters.

Hello TODbots!
Thank goodness for the Nerdy Wonka.
Congrats to all the Gold ⭐ winners, starting with this Fine post & since last night.

Lunch, I thought you meant launch! Wasn’t there a t.v. show that came on years ago where two guys were cleaning a rocket and one of the guys told the other guy its time for lunch and the guy pressed the launch button and they went to outer space. It used to come on Saturday mornings.
So while Trump owes China and Russia damn near a billion dollars President Obama has gotten a earth saving climate deal signed with China. I’m sure it isn’t impressive as getting a wall built, but hey, its a start.
Trump has already proven who he is, what would be the point of meeting with someone that despises the very ground that you walk on? Trump is not about to have some sort of “come to Jesus moment,” he is who he is.
Republican leaders claimed they wanted to avoid the possibility of another government shutdown, but that looks to be in danger. After what Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (Nev) had called the “longest recess in 16 years”, it’s about that time for them to get back to work before the inevitable happens.

The exact language is still in flux, and multiple sources said discussions are ongoing. But Speaker Paul Ryan’s office and other leadership staff have been researching ways they can punish Democrats for their controversial occupation of the House floor to protest the chamber’s lack of response to the Orlando, Florida shooting massacre.
GOP lawmakers are expected to discuss the matter next week upon returning from their summer recess. While no votes have been scheduled, some members have been given notice that the response could come to the floor in September.
It’s not about stigma due to domination. It’s honest work. But it’s also back-breaking work, often in excessive heat and exposure to pesticides. So it’s really about difficult, toxic work. And in modern times, it wasn’t until Cesar Chavez fought for their ability to take bathroom and lunch breaks that it was even humane.
Aloha Arapaho and Meta! This is why I, and many Hawaii people, are so thrilled when he’s here– yes, to be near him, but mostly because we can feel his whole aspect relax into the comfort of this homespace. For anyone whose childhood included lots of beach days, bare feet, and easy friendships, highly charged work in a formal environment is doubly difficult. I salute him for taking on the world’s problems, of course, but I also yearn for him to jump in the ocean and let his cares wash away.
Shocking!!!! Hard to believe with everything that has come out about how Trump conducts business, there are those that believe that he is more “trustworthy” than HRC…that he is trustworthy PERIOD!
The Clinton Foundation on multiple occasions during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state asked senior U.S. government officials to vet her husband’s contacts with potentially controversial international figures, according to emails released by the State Department.
The emails, reviewed by Reuters, were part of a batch of nearly 400 messages recently released by the State Department …show a top foreign policy adviser to the foundation sought guidance from the State Department on former President Bill Clinton’s interactions with people …
The emails offer a glimpse of the intricate relationship between a private charity with a broad global mission and the State Department under the leadership of a secretary who is married to a former president.
Former government officials reached by Reuters said there was nothing inappropriate in the interactions of the foundation with the State Department over the potential meetings, some of which did not occur.
I feel the same way about his mother. Hard to not want to connect with her – all that she’s instilled in him, all that he’s become he says he owes to her. She must have been an amazing person.

Good day TODville. Let’s hear it for Taco Trucks….make mine chicken!
Every Morning you wake up with 2 choices
1. You can continue to sleep with your Dreams.
2. You can wake up and CHASE your Dreams….

Good Afternoon TODVille. Happy Friday.
I am on my way to get tacos for lunch!
LoL!!! Have mercy!!!
Fly to the wrong city, is that even possible? I mean my wife ask me to pick up Tide but I pick up Cheer, I won’t make that mistake again. The wrong city, are you shitting me!
Inoright?!?!? If this were a final exam, she would FAIL. If this were a job interview, her application would go directly to TRASH.
*I won’t make that mistake again
ROFL!!!!!

Hypocritical of giffords when her superpac or whatev it is called has endorsed rethugs like toomey over dems.

Brilliant, Donna!
I just love listening to FLOTUS.

Second fish named after PBO, but this one is special for Hawaii’s favorite son (IMO).
Link to the @natgeo article WITH 21-second VIDEO of PBO being presented with the honor of having this fish named after him:

Why is Stein wasting her time and money?
Her time – supporter’s money
Because she’s a hateful bitch who has illusions of grandeur.
Or she wants what all the other grifters get, money, book deals, speaking engagements, notoriety, etc.
Good afternoon/evening TOD!
Thank you so much, Nerdy! I loved the great photos from The President’s trip to the Midway Atoll.
Nothing to say other than: I love President Barack Hussein Obama, 44th President (and 1st in my love and respect) of the United States of America.
GA CEB.
Glad to see you weathered the storm OK, hope it has stopped raining for you now.
And a reminder of how hurricanes have avoided Florida for awhile.
Couple more #TacoTrucksOnEveryCorner tweets:

Well wake me up when there’s a place to get conch fritters on every corner.

whoa, he is outstanding 🙂 thank you rikyrah.

My point exactly, the point of these pastors meeting Trump is what. They know what kind of man Trump is.
these two piece and a biscuit mofos.
Skinnin’ and grinnin’……
WHY????
You got that right. Knew for sure Renée and two others would be there; surprised at one of the participants… Don’t know the rest…
Oh man, Donny looks petrified. Only white guy in the room? LOLz!!

After what Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid (Nev) had called the “longest recess in 16 years”, it’s about that time for them to get back to work before the inevitable happens.
But what about the important issues,,,like Zika….

The wealthy Trump supporter is full of alot of bull shit.
Interesting. The must have done multiple covers; this one arrived in yesterday’s mail…
Wow, beautiful.
Isn’t It! So glad this is the one I received!
I love it!!! Great use of a Taco Truck!
Follow up from my comment from earlier today….”First he was going to address the congregation…then he wasn’t…now he is…”
NOW HE ISN’T!!!!

…and then they whine because she won’t have pressers

POTUS looking great!! That Hawaii climate suits him so well.
GA Meta.
Doesn’t it though? You know his blood pressure is lowered when AF1 touches down on Hawaiian soil, and his joy is upped immeasurably.
Check out the 21-second @natgeo video in the tweet upthread from @MikeMemoli when he’s informed about the fish named for him.
Oh, cool. thank you!

But his children and his companies are getting paid.
This whole campaign is just a money-making venture for him and his.
NO DOUBT. He’s a con artist who’s taking his cult for a ride.
What I do not understand is with all of his dirty past deeds why hasn’t DT ever been in jail?

Such a gorgeous man, through and through.
Gorgeous man, indeed. And I would have loved to have had a few conversations with his mother. She must have been incredible.
I feel the same way about his mother. Hard to not want to connect with her – all that she’s instilled in him, all that he’s become he says he owes to her. She must have been an amazing person.
OMG. Bees are suffering colony collapse as it is and now they’re caught up in the Zika fight. This is really bad.
Hmmmm???
Hmmm? You think FLOTUS has invited Queen Bey and Blue Ivy to Camp David.
Sure seems like it! Maybe she’s having a ladies’ weekend while the President is at the G20.
