Honestly, I can see how people are more worried about HRC’s health– because we’re all counting on her to beat T-rump! He’s a known con artist, so his many illegal acts and gross indiscretions are accepted as just part of who he is. It’s the sliding scale for sure. But it relies on the expectation that HRC will be president, and DT will be a continuing joke. The danger is that the election is not over, and this kind of ‘reporting’ has an impact.
The media are building a story around Hillary’s health which has NOTHING to do with the election. Reality seems to be that the US media is full of people who like the Trump message of getting rid of minorities.
The Trump reporting has been positive ever since he entered the race. The media do not care. They want to elect a white racist male.
The intro music on the video here is different from what was on CSpan (U2). You kinda miss the nostalgia and the excitement of the moment when he jumped on stage. I love, love his campaign music. Who changed it?
I wish she had taken more time to rest until next week. Pneumonia, can be a lingering nuesence if you don’t get enough rest. On the other hand. I am thankful that she feels strong to resume Her campaign.
Thank you, Propane Jane. 😄😄. Blunt and honest. Shame on David Axelrod. No reason for this behavior on his part. I don’t think PO would approve of this at all.
Just read more of her tweets, and she does mention he’s an advocate. Maybe he suggested Hillary has epilepsy for some reason, but I didn’t see that part. Was just trying to show him a little compassion that he’ll never know about (which he wasn’t showing HRC).
I think she was trying to illustrate the broader point that in general people tend to want to maintain a certain degree of privacy when it comes to their health issues, and that David Axelrod, who has a close relative with a highly stigmatized illness like epilepsy should be fully aware of this, and not hold against HRC for not going public with her pneumonia unless it was absolutely necessary. If you notice, she also mentioned PBO’s long-term issue with smoking (Nicotine Dependence) as an example.
…To an audience of roughly 6,000 supporters in downtown Philadelphia, Obama argued that Clinton has been more transparent in providing health and financial records than her rival, as well as releasing her past tax returns while Trump refuses to release his. Obama also noted Trump has not disclosed details of his charitable giving, and claimed the Clinton Foundation has “saved countless lives around the world.” … http://6abc.com/politics/obama-clinton-steady-trump-not-fit-in-any-way-to-lead/1509301/
Joy Reid on with Lawrence O’Donnell tonight. The opening segment was just fabulous. She really cuts through the crap. Her commentary on Trump was pitch perfect.
Seeing the President today was fantastic. Just getting to TOD now. I went to a Phone Bank in South Jersey tonight for Hillary. We we’re calling for support and volunteers in New Jersey. There was around 20 people there. All the people that I was able to spoke to speak to support her, and a few are going to help with the campaign.
has anyone double-checked the laughable “child-care plan” that the homegrown demagogue touted today to see that it was not plagiarized from somewhere else?

Question : is some body’s math off? See? Republicans in 1992 voting block 92% white.. Now it’s 86%? So… They are getting more minority support? It says they are getting 2% AA support and 6% Hispanic support? That’s worse than 08… These numbers are manipulated somehow?
“HOW THE TRUMP ORGANIZATION’S FOREIGN BUSINESS TIES COULD UPEND U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY”
Would Donald Trump’s decisions as president be based on what is best for America, or on what would keep the cash flowing to him and his family?
Throughout this campaign, the Trump Organization, which pumps potentially hundreds of millions of dollars into the Trump family’s bank accounts each year, has been largely ignored. As a private enterprise, its businesses, partners and investors are hidden from public view, even though they are the very people who could be enriched by—or will further enrich—Trump and his family if he wins the presidency.
A close examination by Newsweek of the Trump Organization…eveals an enterprise with deep ties to global financiers, foreign politicians and even criminals…It also reveals a web of contractual entanglements that could not be just canceled. If Trump moves into the White House and his family continues to receive any benefit from the company, during or even after his presidency, almost every foreign policy decision he makes will raise serious conflicts of interest and ethical quagmires.
Thank you, meta. Let’s see if the media cover the Newsweek article or if it will be ignored just like any other negative news about the corrupt orange one.
I’m starting to wonder if the games changes only if Trump starts to take a lead in the polls. It’s the old seesaw routine but I also believe the press want him to win. Their business model is just that disgusting.
The website DCLeaks.com — which has reported, but not confirmed, ties to Russian intelligence services — obtained Powell’s emails. It may be the latest example of a Russian entity potentially trying to influence the US presidential election…
The incredible, glaring hypocrisy is in this simple fact: Trump has not offered any of these reliefs to his own employees. He has done nothing to help them, and the chances that he could ever deliver on a plan that his own party would never support are nearly nil.
He has, though, bragged that he does. Twice, in fact, he has touted child care programs he has as reasons that it is easy for employers to offer child care to their employees…The caveat here is that the programs offered by Trump’s golf course and hotel are not for employees but rather perks for the guests and visitors.

Thank you Nerdy! Glorious to see PBO on the campaign trail!
Yes I agree. He was fabulous as usual. So glad he can take the spotlight off of Hillary while she recovers from pneumonia.
The media fail……

Thanks (as always!) for the links, tweets and info today.
This is a 6 minute video that is the best explainer of #ClimateChange that I’ve seen:
Love the “whole person” life skills training approach…
An Executive chef from Texas is teaching young offenders how to play with knives and fire the right way – in the kitchen. Cafe Momentum #HistoryNOW
Love stories like that!
thank you very much for sharing this;
demonstrates how one person can change the lives of so many
GE TODville.
Loved PBO in Philly today, loved PrettyFoot58’s photos from the event (see previous thread).
More to come 🙂 :
And @FLOTUS will be at GMU on Friday:
This is good news, LH. I hope she’s strong enough and shows everyone how stupid the overwrought coverage of her illness has been.
I wish she had taken more time to rest until next week. Pneumonia, can be a lingering nuesence if you don’t get enough rest. On the other hand. I am thankful that she feels strong to resume Her campaign.
He’s back , if only temporarily. Sweet heaven!
Thank you, Propane Jane. 😄😄. Blunt and honest. Shame on David Axelrod. No reason for this behavior on his part. I don’t think PO would approve of this at all.
I don’t know what’s wrong with David Axelrod.
David Axelrod has been trolling HRC this entire campaign. He’s turned into a spiteful shithead.
Why? What does he have against HRC?
I don’t know, but I suspect a certain degree of spite. She’s now the candidate and he’s no longer in the center of attention and power.
You are so right, Bill. I just kinda noticed it. Axelrod needs to get over himself.
I love that lady. She is one of the most articulate and effective voices in twitter world.
i so agree
I’m not sure what her reference to epilepsy is or why she used it … but David Axelrod’s daughter has epilepsy.
Just read more of her tweets, and she does mention he’s an advocate. Maybe he suggested Hillary has epilepsy for some reason, but I didn’t see that part. Was just trying to show him a little compassion that he’ll never know about (which he wasn’t showing HRC).
I think she was remanding him that he of all folks should know better…re: health…how there can be consequences re: revealing health issues
I think she was trying to illustrate the broader point that in general people tend to want to maintain a certain degree of privacy when it comes to their health issues, and that David Axelrod, who has a close relative with a highly stigmatized illness like epilepsy should be fully aware of this, and not hold against HRC for not going public with her pneumonia unless it was absolutely necessary.

After I let it sink in, I agreed with you!
Any info on crowd turnout?

Thanks JER, the go-to info person.
ALL Dems need to push hard on Trump’s conflicts of interest, and the corruption that would create.
Link in tweet has video of Miami radio station (audio of PBO) when they were on the phone with him today:
Enjoy POTUS conversation with the Miami radio station.
that was nice!
I liked how PBO kept a serious tone even when speaking with “Kiki”
Love this tweet. Wish it could be emblazoned on a t-shirt.
Joy Reid on with Lawrence O’Donnell tonight. The opening segment was just fabulous. She really cuts through the crap. Her commentary on Trump was pitch perfect.
Lawrence is excellent again tonight. Two nights in a row!
Ok, Lawrence just teased Maureen Dowd. /CLICK/
What the heck was that about? I’m disappointed in Lawrence.
This!!!! She is making rounds trying to pimp her new book on Hillary.
Yup, same here. Caught the end of House Hunters International on HGTV…
Thank you NW, Thank You PF & Terri D and thank you TOD ❤
I had a terrible day at work and I really needed to smile – THANK YOU!!!!!
Hugs to you, GGail!!!! Rest … and breathe! ❤
Thanks J’OB 🌹
{{GGail}}, so sorry you had a hard day at work.
Terri, seeing your smile along with PF helped a lot, thanks (((hugs)))
Hi, TOD.

There was around 20 people there. All the people that I was able to spoke to speak to support her, and a few are going to help with the campaign.
Nerdy, thanks for the video and great photos.
Lucky, lucky you!
So glad you & PF made it! Sorry I wasn’t up to joining you.
Terri, you’re Fired Up & Ready to Go!
I guess all this time as I just noticed, the SJ in front of the Terri D threw my off. My nickname is Terri and my last name starts with a D too!
The SJ stands for South Jersey. What a Coincidence!
WELP …..
Wow, Eichenwald had better hire security. This sounds really serious; especially the part where there may some ties that cannot be severed.
Trump thinks turning everything over to his kids is “severing”.
I want to see him obliterated Nov. 8.
has anyone double-checked the laughable “child-care plan” that the homegrown demagogue touted today to see that it was not plagiarized from somewhere else?
What is going on here?
it is the US’ peak campaign season and every scumbag in the world wants attention
wow
I missed the whole story!
Pres Obama was tremendous today. He’s going to win this election for all of us.
yeah, yeah, I will let myself out.
Michelle Obama
FLOTUS and Ellen visiting CVS is so funny.

Interesting…
The website DCLeaks.com — which has reported, but not confirmed, ties to Russian intelligence services — obtained Powell’s emails. It may be the latest example of a Russian entity potentially trying to influence the US presidential election…
This is the piece I was looking for…confirmation that the email are authentic.
Powell, a retired 4-star general and a Republican, confirmed the authenticity of the emails and said, “The hackers have a lot more.”
The knives are out and they are especially long.
The incredible, glaring hypocrisy is in this simple fact: Trump has not offered any of these reliefs to his own employees. He has done nothing to help them, and the chances that he could ever deliver on a plan that his own party would never support are nearly nil.
