Morning. It is so wonderful to see our sane, intelligent President on the campaign trail. As Trump becomes more and more ominous and unhinged, the Hillary campaign works tirelessly to nail down every vote and her brilliant surrogate–PBO–charms every heart.
Head of Iowa Federation of Republican Women resigns to take a stand against the "racism, sexism and hate" that she believes Trump promotes. https://t.co/5S9n1fkBlf
Will post more on this later (hopefully today, am behind right now with a ton of stuff to do today 😦 ).
(Of course R-money is a bad benchmark, since he himself is a Mormon with ties to Utah [more like a favorite son of UT rather than Massachusetts, California, New Hampshire, or wherever else he has houses]):
Not like this…taking a slap at Clinton…still comparing her to Donald Trump…the result of years of smears on the Clinton….
The other built a campaign on insults and bigoted statements, finally losing any right to be taken seriously with the recent release of a video in which he was heard to brag about his ability to get away with sexually assaulting women.
There is certainly not a perfect choice but, at this point, the only candidate who comes close to being qualified and fit for the post is Hillary Clinton.

Not like this…taking a slap at Clinton…still comparing her to Donald Trump…the result of years of smears on Clinton….these back handed endorsements
“Finally losing any right to be taken seriously. Right there – in other words “He can lie and smear fellow Republicans and threaten black people and Muslim people; he can have a long record of failed businesses, bankruptcies, and law suits; he can be indicted in a rape of a 13 year old, but now I’ve finally decided to draw the line”. Makes me sick. Also “comes close to being qualified and fit…” Seriously?? Comes close??? Point out someone, anyone, who comes closer!
In the WI Poll I was just reading the ONLY fail for Hillary was honesty. Years of being attacked – plus Trump’s continual attacks play a massive part in this. How can anyone be “ready on day 1”, “well qualified”, “have good rapport with other countries” and then be thought by a majority to be dishonest. That liberal media – never stops saying it.
The media has attention deficit disorder… Abd trunp knows this and plays them always…
A few days ago we were talking about trump abs his vulgar comments…
Now we are talking about Paul Ryan and wiki leaks…
I remember in 08 rev weight take for over two weeks every channel in a loop.
So if the right wing wants to talk about media bias… How about starting there?
Just saying!
“Republicans are not shocked; they’re scared,” wrote New York magazine’s Rebecca Traister. “Donald Trump is losing and they are beginning to understand that his loss is going to expose them, not simply to partisan defeat, but as a party that has been covert in its cohesion around the very biases that he makes coarse and plain…. Republicans are not separate from Trump, and he is not distinct from Republican nature or motivation; he is its slightly more unruly twin.”
Happy 4th of July!! What the hell i feel like celebrating and any day is fine.. of course if you had a birthday lately that’s fine too just extend the celebrations to today, it just feels like a great day
Let’s be honest about the abhorrent logistics of Trump’s pledge to round up immigrants. We have seen this before. How Would Trump Deport
11 Million People? Think About It.
Words escape me, coming too fast outta my mouth! Now they want their$$ back? All the shit this scumbag has been flinging, and now they’re “appalled”? Eff’em.
Oh, & this from that article: “He also noted Trump’s attacks on federal judge Gonzalo Curiel based on his Mexican-American heritage was disconcerting.”
“disconcerting”, boy, please! Sit your arse square on that potty & own that shit!
Ues as much as I’m glad people are deserting him, it’s clear that it’s no because they found him offensive; it’s now clear that he’s going to be the biggest loser ever and are just jumping off the burning, sinking ship to save themselves.
Just a few months back, a SEIU person was bemoaning that many of their members were for trump or were at least trump curious. Thank god trump they came to their senses.
President Obama explains how the behavior and rhetoric of the Republican party over the last decade has left the country with an ignorant Republican nominee for the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
Good morning TOD! I had just about given up on IA, Hillary doesn’t seem to be connecting there, until this last weekend. Regardless of political leanings, most Iowans carry those strong Midwest values and I have a hard time seeing them voting for someone who wants to take the country into the sewer. Also saw a retweet yesterday where someone from IA said this was the first presidential campaign where she had not gotten a single piece of literature, a door knock or a phone call in support of the R nominee. Obviously, no Trump ground game there. So just maybe IA will come to its senses:-)
Firefox, one thing you can be sure of is that HRC’s ground game is superb. They operate with almost military precision–I’ve never seen anything like it.
PBO is an astonishing man in every way. WOW, what a mind.
Great conversation with Joi Ito of MIT that beautifully captures President Obama's facility as a deep thinker with a creative imagination https://t.co/GQsZiDZ3RW
Fascinating… I love the way his mind works. He is well informed, well read, and open. I can’t even see the orange man even knowing what the questions mean, much less be able to have an intelligent conversation about AI…
Yes, you nailed it! The fluency of PBO’s mind, his facility with facts and his enormous imagination are such a thrill to witness. He thinks in an entirely different way – adventurous but grounded. Amazing.
I will miss this the most…he is a curious learner and enjoys finding out about the world around him…he does not run away from issues that he doesn’t understand, he informs himself and is intellectually curious. I will miss that. AND his great sense of humor:) andandand….
OMG, I find myself tearing up just at the sight of President Obama and FLOTUS. What a time to be alive, indeed. And what incredible fellow travelers on this journey. Thank you all, sincerely.
Would love to see Darrell Issa booted out next month.
His CA stretches from the beyond-wealthy OC (and bigoted) enclaves of Corona del Mar, Laguna and Newport Beaches) down to the northern coastal portion of San Diego County, including Camp Pendleton (the county’s largest employer) and Oceanside.
Because of the unique combination of vast wealth and USMC macho bravado, OC isn’t the best test for Wasserman’s theory (will read later). However, Issa is such a Trumpaloon and OC’s changing demographics could mean (former USMC, Sanders-like [according him] Dem will represent this congressional district).
Federal judge has affirmed that Republican governor and Trump supporter Rick Scott was trying to take away Floridians' voting rights. https://t.co/i5KHbzDpEY
Grouper, Peeking Tom, Dirty Old Man, Sexual Pervert? A person that enjoys that sort of thing buys beauty pageants for more access just like child molesters put themselves in positions like teachers, coaches, religious leaders, girl and Boy Scout leaders for better access.
My, God, Df, this is beyond disgusting. I wonder if the parents of these girls knew about it and condoned it. Were the afraid of the bogus Trump ‘power.’
"I would like to go to different parts of the world and help people in need," says Nyahok Reath, a refugee from Nasir in #SouthSudanpic.twitter.com/OJttTbsliO
Republican nominee Donald Trump told a crowd in Florida to go cast their votes on November 28—a full 20 days after Election Day, which is Tuesday, Nov. 8.
“We’re doing something that’s incredible, it’s a movement,” Trump said. “But if we don’t win, all it is is a little asterisk in history. There’s never been anything like this so go and register, make sure you get out and vote Nov. 28.”
I don’t know about anyone else but listening to him on LO last night, DT did not sound sober. DT sound like he was either high on drugs or alcohol. There is something wrong with that man, he was not making sense and seemed to be slurring/stumbling over his words. Maybe he was operating on very little or interrupted sleep which can also make people sound goofy.
The entire, ugly alt-reich racist movement need to be crushed so badly that they will all go back to the gutters where they belong and stay there forever to die off. It’s in the hands of women and minorities to make this happen.
yes….and i hope that we serve them a crushing defeat…and then i hope we understand….that we must ever remain vigilant and organized…because they may defeated but they will regroup to fight another day…..and so must we be prepared to fight…..
Pf, these roaches thrive on ignorance and the willingness of millions of people to accept anything someone tells them, no matter how fact free. With the help of the media, the right wing banged on about Hillary’s deceitfulness for so long, people automatically believe it without proof. We need to go back to basics–teaching people critical thinking skills in our schools and insisting on an unbiased media. I realize it will be harder to achieve this than it would be to launch a manned flight to Mars, but everything this country represents depends on it. Where there’s a national will, there’s a way.
“the right wing banged on about Hillary’s deceitfulness for so long, people automatically believe it without proof. ” – Trump continues this at EVERY opportunity & the media dutifully report what he says.
All her endorsements say but …. I am amazed that she continues to pursue her goals despite the years of sh!t being thrown – culminating in an ignorant stalker/abuser screaming his lies to the world.
Given the massive volumes of communications, the intense searching, the endless enquiries – they have found NOTHING – yet the dimwits believe the hate of the GOP. Very few would ever survive such indepth searching – let alone be the first woman President of the US.
The liar Rudy stating that he did not see Hillary on 911…
Here is a picture of Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton walking together through NYC post-9/11, after Clinton had flown back from DC pic.twitter.com/03gKLAwlQJ

Good morning. Yes, President Obama is Greatest of All Time! No doubt.
Morning. It is so wonderful to see our sane, intelligent President on the campaign trail. As Trump becomes more and more ominous and unhinged, the Hillary campaign works tirelessly to nail down every vote and her brilliant surrogate–PBO–charms every heart.
Good morning TOD folks! Thank God P Obama is still here to balance the crazy.
Good Wednesday, Nerdy…TOD Family

Morning everyone:)
I would quibble with the word “covert”. They ay have thought they were covert but everyone knew exactly what they stood for.
a corrupt cancerous edifice brought down by an equally corrupt and more cancerous outsider. karma.
100 days.
It hit me today as well.
I wish I could slow down these last 100 days of President Barack Obama’s presidency.
I really can’t imagine a world without Barack Obama as President and Michelle Obama as our First Lady. I just can’t.
i know…i feel the same…i feel the same…
Same here, meta. Same here.
What a heavy thought for us! Plan to savor each one!
Happy 4th of July!! What the hell i feel like celebrating and any day is fine.. of course if you had a birthday lately that’s fine too just extend the celebrations to today, it just feels like a great day
he should be deep flushed and deep sixed.
SWEET!!! 🙂
Pants need to be on fire too! 🙂
LOL.
Trump is giving the political cartoonists a lot of material…and they are nailing it.
Nooooooooo
Boo-hoo … VOTING! 🙂
This is AMAZING
Next Chapter…will do all that i can to make it Happen…

Isn’t that somethin’? All the ugly up until now was fine….but the man said pussy and that’s just a bridge too far….

Labor giant SEIU pumps resources into anti-Trump effort
New data provided to POLITICO shows the GOP nominee with just 17 percent support among unionized service workers.

Yup, her web team is very good.

From May (before Jun primary for “weak” Dem):
Hillary, along with every other thinking woman in the country who votes for her.
LOL.
Ahem! Yup! 🙂
Ivanka is an enabler of her father. She condones his behavior. Got it! Stay woke.

Story is he doesn’t drink alcohol – so you can remove one part of what caused his problem.

The #TrumpEffect:
Wiki leaks is driving me crazy .. Another 1700 emails just released…
Here’s a novel idea.. Stop sending emails and don’t put anything on the Internet?
These Russians have a vested interest in embarrassing America and Hillary Clinton.
We should actually take this to the UN like we did the Cuban missile crisis abd show the world the proof we have that they are hacking us.
Only reason I can think of why the US is not doing this?
Bc we might tip our hand as to how we know it’s the Russians…
New post.
