Congrats Bobfr!
And this is Kellyanne’s brother, right? They all gonna look so good in stripes!
No he’s DeVos’s brother
OMG
I like this one, as well ….
🙂
Good afternoon everyone!
ProPublica is not here for Spicey’s lies. They go off on him with FACTS. This thread is on fire:
Good. Someone needs to call out each and every lie told by this regime even if it’s a never ending job.
Eric Prince has a connection to Trump/ Russia
Hang on everyone. Do not despair.
#bevigilant #dontbeafraid
The darkest hour is just before dawn, although it is possibly not the darkest hour yet. ❤🙏🏻❤
PBO, LOL.
Love it.
Congrats on first, Bob. These crooks!! Wow.
Looking forward to seeing PBO in next month. May 7, Profiles in Courage Award; May 8-10 speaking at the Milan Food Summit.
OMG!
GE Tally.
It’s worse than that.
GOP men consider women as baby-making machines only.
Tragically, the more economically depressed a nation is, the higher their birth rate, a downward spiral as billions of humans compete for the same scarce resources.
Something weird going on with WordPress. My posts are going through but not my replies. ARGH.
I do not blame them.
Agree Meta. This will hurt a lot of folks who voted for him, and we will pay higher prices for various goods.
Once the effect of PBO’s policies wear off, I think our economy is headed for a very rough patch. Trump has no idea what he’s doing and doesn’t allow smart people to work on the issues.
I don’t blame them one bit. I am hoping Texas feels it the most and all those racist southern states who NEED immigrant workers to harvest their fruit & veggies.
The damage that election of Trump has brought to America and the world cannot be measured…his bombing in Iraq and Syria….killing civilians….causing countries of the EU to rethink Nuclear Arms…..this is one genie that will not go back into the bottle
Agree wholeheartedly. This is a ban that will save the American tax payers (Trump is not a tax payer) millions of dollars.
Yesterday:
That just shows that while Democrats are worried about being polite, Republicans only care about advancing their agenda. Our side needs to act accordingly and stop being so nice.
X100000000 YES. The GOP has irretrievably broken all norms and civility. The time to act to defend our country is NOW.
So sick of this idiocy.
WOW…hope we can catch that
I love how the poster says remarks by “PRESIDENT” Barack Obama. Yep, he’s still our President too! 😆 😆
Massive amounts of fecal material hitting massive fans …..
Trump is a sick pathological liar.
This is another powerful, masterful image of the current WH occupant. So many are complicit…
YUP. YUP. …..
Interesting ….
There’s a reflexive default among the party to try to appeal to conservative white swing voters,” Steve Phillips, the San Francisco civil rights attorney, best-selling author of “Brown Is the New White” and founder of Democracy in Color, said Monday. “Absent any evidence that we can make headway with those voters, we should try to focus on those who we can.”
And it’s about time.
GE TODbots.
Congrats, Doc Bob Fr, The Golden ⭐ sure looks great on You 😉
“Shoe on the other Foot” indeed, Pretty Foot!
Mitch McConell is a despicable hypocrite! For 8 years he led the Republican Party tin Obstructing everything, including things he previously supported, that President Obama tried to do for the benefit of all Americans-including the people of Kentucky that McConnell represents. Now this hypocrite has the audacity to talk about “a new standard….” Does Mitch McConnell think that all “the American people” are either idiots, or are afflicted with amnesia?
And look what my daugher found! I don’t even sew and I want some! (Hint: President Obama fabric!)

Hello dearest Chips, NW, BTs, TODers, thought this would bring you just joy! There are some fab people out there.
Ignore the first few minutes of mic issues. Listen thereafter to her story.
Hope
What a sweetheart. All little kids feel this same way, until somebody teaches them differently.
I see the slimey creatures have been busy.
ALL of THIS!!!
Rep. Adam Shiff is emerging as the new star of the Democratic Party! He tells it like it is without coming across as being very overbearing.
Illegit pres needs all this mess to be null and void. Fraud that he is.
I really despise the homegrown demagogues & his people
Yes, yes, yes. I do, as well.
I can’t even read that story. All I know is that the ghouls – in this case, Scott – have sure come out of their mud holes since Trump won.
He has been an unprincipled asshole for years. Was a proven thief even before the fools elected him and he has been a disaster ever since. I live in Florida.
I used to live in Florida and have family and friends there, who all share your sentiments about him!
Has this been posted already?
GE DF.
I posted this on the previous thread.
There are two long articles that discuss the implications of “microtargeting” to encourage votes for DJT.
1. The ONE AND ONLY interview with Jared Kushner since DJT announced his candidacy for President (Forbes, Nov 2016)
2. BBC last month
Check out the highlights in this tweet (from the Forbes article):
From the BBC:
Sorry, here’s the link to the Forbes article:
Thank you bunches, arapaho:) You have been busy!
Something else lovely to wash the crap out of your eyeballs & grey matter before you sleep tonight. Humans are not an endangered species:

Beautiful! Thank you.
J’OB, what an absolutely simple thing to do, yet we keep throwing food out in this country. But my love with this restaurant is the dignity afforded all. That touched me deep in my soul, especially when I really need to believe, in this time, that surely there’s got to be humanity, humans. Not people able to walk upright on their 2 limbs, but humans.
So, so true. Keep sharing these stories when you see them, please, because we all can use that reminder.
And here’s another great human, right in DC, and an immigrant. Eat that 45!
So glad I watched that uplifting story.
And goodnight to you – and to TODville, and all the ships at sea!
Just my rant:
I really don’t know what emoji I should post every time I now hear these talking heads talking about “infrastructure”! Wasn’t that part of the Jobs Bill that was held by Republicans in Congress for 8 years? Eight years! Think about that absurdity!
Grrrrr.
Aren’t they just pimply arse Effers?! Ugly is as they do. [Need a pimply arse emoji for this. Is there an emoji out there that’s this?] 🙂
Ha – I feel your pain!
Congrats to UNC Tarheels on winning their 6th NCAA Men Championship. They were the team PBO picked to win it all.
Congrats to {{{{{Dudette }}}}} on the Tar Heel win!!
And, of course, our ForeverPOTUS on his winning pick!
You know all those Heels are thinking the same as this guy:
President Obama pick the North Carolina Tarheels to win it all and they did. Hip Hip Hooray.
Go
FedexObama.President Obama knows! Tar Heels WIN!
and I’ll add that Roy Williams and the Tar Heels are a fan of President Obama!
My ex was a Tar Heel and I remember, back in the day, being in Chapel Hill with him and a family member telling us that Roy was a Dem.
I heard him say this about DT last month and decided I was still a Heels fan 🏀 :
Up until January 19, I wouldn’t go for mocking a First Lady. But all bets are off on this first lady.
Chuckle, chuckle. (Nailed it.)
I’m loving nursery rhymes:
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All Russian Dressing and all Word Salad
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
Tra-lah-la! Lah-la! And Jah! 🙂
good one

Regarding Russian interference in US 2016 election, this is what they’re really trying to hide. Article is by Politico and uses a Blame Obama title so I removed it from my tweet and pulled out the most explosive paragraph in the article which suggest Russia hacked the software of voting machines. The hacking also targeted House and Senate races, which means the Democrats probably won control of the Senate and possibly but less likely the House. This is what is being hid from the American people. Not only is the current occupant of the WH illegitimate but the Congress may also be illegitimate. This may explain why the Netherlands used red pencils, paper ballots and hand counting.
Which is why my thoughts about McConnell and this election were probably spot on. He knew ahead of time which is why he would not give Judge Garland his due, and why he said things like PBO onlyt had a year left in his term and he was saving the SC justice for the next President….even though HRC was so far ahead in the polls to make it almost assured that she would win. Still, he KNEW that the fix was in on DT and his senate….he would have complete control and he knew it!!
I shared my thoughts about this with my husband the other evening while we we watching RM together….he told me that was Glenn Beck territory. People just have a hard time wrapping their heads around the fact that this could happen here….because IT DID!
Yes. And the best evidence that the hacking involved voting machine software is the Netherlands 2017 election in which they used paper ballots, red pencils, and handcounts.
I am with you on this, I have maintained this belief from election day! They all knew, this is why they are fighting the unmasking. My hope is that the truth will come out with concrete evidence when all is said and done. There is no way 45 would have won the election no matter how crazy or racist the noise makers were without voting machine tampering.
They tried it in 2012 but it did not work so well, this is why karl rove had a meltdown on TV, he was so sure Romney would win in OHIO (I think it was) because they had the fix in.
2016 was worse because there was a collusion between some republicans in the house, senate and 45’s men with known US foe russians for whatever justification they gave themselves for doing this. I think Mccain was also one of the people that knew about this too.
The republicans have been working against the US for the past 8 years because of the election of President Obama, that it probably did not occur to them that this time it is really treason in every sense of the word. They probably figured it was an extension of what they had been doing for the past 8 years – obstruction.
It’s plainly obvious to me that the Russians, in coordination with the Republicans and the Trump campaign, rigged the 2016 election to ensure the election of Donald Trump and the defeat of Hillary Clinton–and, by extension, the defeat of President Obama. All the repeated loud cries about a “rigged election” by Trump and his surrogates was pure projection! It was all about indoctrinating Trump’s loyal supporters to look away once the evidence of the real rigging of the election by Russia and the Trump campaign was exposed. I am deeply grateful to all the people in the IC who have courageously stepped forward to expose the rigging of our 2016 Election by the Russians.
Yes but they also targeted Senate and House races to ensure a complete overthrow of US govt. What’s classified is the actual rigging of the votes. I hope the FBI has obtained the voting software used at the county and local level in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania – three reliably blue presidential states.
Republicans want to make their coup complete by confirming an unqualified lying unethical person for the highest court. The judicial branch is our last vestige of hope for fairness and justice. They want Gorsuch on SCOTUS because he will do everything he can to undermine the highest court, politicize it, and sabotage the secret deliberations of the Justices.
THIS one million times!!!

Trump puts NSC to personal political use
Rachel Maddow looks at some of the internal struggles of Donald Trump’s National Security Council and reports on new evidence that the NSC is being used as a political tool to bolster a counter-narrative to the Trump Russia scandal.
Good Morning Everybody.
THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW 4/3/17
Trump politics diverts national security team
Michael Leiter, former DNI deputy chief of staff, talks with Rachel Maddow about some of the dysfunction within Donald Trump’s National Security Council and the potential consequences of that dysfunction.
Izombie returns tonight.
Yeah:)
45 is making another run with the so-called Freedom Caucus for another f**ked up repeal and replace of the ACA. His main motive appears to be revenge against the Democrats (the rest of us collateral damage that no one cares about as long as they get their way) for Gorush and to get a win at any cost.
1968 was the death of childhood for me; we lost Martin then two months later we lost Bobby. It was all too much for a 13-14 year old.
Too much for an eighteen old too.
