Happy Birthday. Have a blast today. I turned 70 on the 24th. Felt another milestone coming up and had the heebie jeebies for two weeks. 60 is young. Enjoy your day.
Happy, happy birthday jojothecat! I am so sorry I couldn’t be at your celebration last Saturday. I hope you had a wonderful time. Enjoy this day, you only turn the big 60 once (happened to me a year ago), so LIVE IT UP girl!!
Thank You Amk! How’d you know I love kitties in glasses 🙂 🙂 🙂 I am a crazy cat lady through and through….my neighbors even bought me a crazy cat lady lunch box…..my flashing tiara is resting on top of it.
It boggles the mind that these people cared about only one thing, the destruction of a man that came with an open heart, willing to work hard for the entire country. This is beyond comprehension sometimes. They wanted to make him fail so badly, so that nobody like him would ever dare try to hold that position ever again.
And it was all of them. Often you hear people talk about the moderates in the GOP. But I couldn’t tell the difference. I am hard pressed to see any one of them that stood up and challenged their peers. They all voted against everything he put forth. They all did it together.
What their ugliness did, was reveal a brilliant, but decent man, who outsmarted, outwitted, and outworked them to do the tremendous things he’s done for this country. He inspires me every single day. He has touched so many lives in ways that will be lasting.
Poor Mr. 57 is very upset that his brother believes RWNJ b.s. about PBO. I’m looking for a comprehensive list of accomplishments and a comprehensive list of GOP obstruction. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Hello TOD Community on a Thursday Mid-Day.
Congrats, GGail on your Au ⭐
Happy Birthday, JojoTheCat.
Nerdy Wonka, there are not enough Vocabulary invented to adquately descripe that awesomeness of you. 🍸
{{{{ ❤ Chips ❤ }}}}, you & yours are always on my mind.
WH Presser with Josh "The Voice" Earnest scheduled to start LIVE at 12:45 pm EDT
New Public Policy Polling surveys in Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, conducted on behalf of VoteVets Action Fund, find Hillary Clinton leading in each state. Voters in all five states see Clinton as having been the runaway winner of Monday night’s debate, and they question Donald Trump’s temperament and preparedness for office.
Clinton has solid leads in Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Virginia- states seen as important to her path to 270 electoral votes- and modest leads in Florida and North Carolina, where wins would be indicative of a dominant overall victory in the Electoral College. If these results hold up, Donald Trump has no path to victory:
Colorado Clinton 51, Trump 44
Florida Clinton 48, Trump 45
North Carolina Clinton 49, Trump 45
Pennsylvania Clinton 49, Trump 44
Virginia Clinton 49, Trump 43
Afternoon, Pf. What I don’t get is how the fact that Wisconsin is not obeying the law is known well *before* the election, yet I’m almost sure they will get away with their chicanery and these people and others won’t get to vote. Why isn’t something specific done *before* the election so that all those affected can get to vote? Something like maybe ordering their votes be counted if they have 2 pieces of ID? It’s wrong that GOP regularly mess up the works at election time and get away with it if they time their obstructions well.
Tomorrow at 2pm, Wellesley College will inaugurate its 14th president, Paula Johnson, in a ceremony both steeped in tradition and imbued with a vision for Wellesley’s future. Johnson (M.D., M.P.H.) is an internationally recognized researcher, educator, and leader in women’s health, and she comes to Wellesley with decades of experience improving the health and lives of women. She becomes the College’s first African-American president. […..]
Whaaaat?? Wow Gazelle! The people you meet in this space!!! Hello My Fellow Alum…Class of ’82 here! 🙂 There’s another Wellesley alum on this blog as well; she graduated from Wellesley either shortly after/before (can’t remember now) Hilary.
I was managing editor of the news in 68. Most of what we editorialized regarding local governance she was able to bring to fruition in 69 as student body president.
And did she call him out on the 40 speeches on policy? He has one policy – send immigrants home – saying the one thing 40 times is not giving 40 policy speeches.

The GOP in congress are seriously stupid. No wonder the main aim is to dumb down the country – they need to look smart to someone. THe democrats who went along with the override should have supported their President – seems the GOP can’t claim all the stupids.
Funny how ALL the GOP were smart enough NOT to elect $carah Palin. I knew all it would take for the GOP men/women to get behind someone as stupid/scary as $carah would if it were a man…..a very rich man.
If anyone, GOPer, Pundit or media news reporter tries to even suggest that PBO never told the Senate why he VETO-ed that poison 9/11 “sue” bill, just give them this:
MORE: In letter to US Senate, Pres. Obama explains his decision to veto bill allowing 9/11 victims’ families to sue Saudi Arabia. pic.twitter.com/GBmgJmyIjo
And our “esteemed” and “knowledgeable” Congresspeople could do a little research themselves or ask questions, no? How idiotic to say that they considered only the positives of the bill and not the negatives, and then blame that lack of rigor on our President. Please!!!

Senator Reid is not having any of it anymore.
Thank you, Harry. It’s a shameless, horrible, nazi party.
All this should have been yelled from every rooftop starting January 20, 2009. Nevertheless, thanks, Harry!

Amen, Sister Kate! 🙂 🙂
Completely agree and so perfectly stated, Africa. Thank you.

Happy birthday jojo! Since life really begins at 40 (that’s what we are told here) you are now only 20. Enjoy your super day🌻💐.
Some should ask Mike Memoli why his newspaper consistently has Trump ahead when he is losing big time. Seems weird…

What class? I was class of 68.
I was managing editor of the news in 68. Most of what we editorialized regarding local governance she was able to bring to fruition in 69 as student body president.
And did she call him out on the 40 speeches on policy? He has one policy – send immigrants home – saying the one thing 40 times is not giving 40 policy speeches.
I love Samantha Bee!
I really wish he would send a video instead of going in person
Just stepping in to say Happy Birthday to JoJo!
Hope you and the kitties have a wonderful day and the best year ever!
Toasting you with this:
MSoph, those are too cute 🙂
Thank You MadamSoph…….GGail this is next years BD cake!
Riiiiight
Now, this freaking takes the cake.
Mendacity of LawmakersFail in DC
They just HAD to override one PBO veto before he left office. Now, they’re scrambling to fix their mess before it get out of control.
yup…..stupid is as stupid does
Why didn’t *he* discuss the ramifications with his lazy, destructive colleagues? He’s a *leader*, ain’t he?
The GOP in congress are seriously stupid. No wonder the main aim is to dumb down the country – they need to look smart to someone. THe democrats who went along with the override should have supported their President – seems the GOP can’t claim all the stupids.
Funny how ALL the GOP were smart enough NOT to elect $carah Palin. I knew all it would take for the GOP men/women to get behind someone as stupid/scary as $carah would if it were a man…..a very rich man.
a rich white man

And our “esteemed” and “knowledgeable” Congresspeople could do a little research themselves or ask questions, no? How idiotic to say that they considered only the positives of the bill and not the negatives, and then blame that lack of rigor on our President. Please!!!

They truly are – shows how an intelligent President can show up the dump of congress
