Good Afternoon TODVille!
WOW.
This is what makes me angry. The man does not know history, never was interested in history. He keeps on proving that he is not worthy or capable of the job. Vindictive, stupid, evil. conniving, he is all that and more.
Ladies and gentlemen. This man is an idiot.
Should I laugh or cry that the male version of Palin is now President? Sigh.
I thought this right after McCain/Palin lost and she had a cult following that she was able to grift and stay in the news. All there needed to be was a male, wealthy, and just as stupid version of $P and it would get elected.
NW, Everyday brings the extent to which we committed leadership kamikaze by electing a demagogue to the presidency.
Montana Special Election May 25th.
WHY did GOP candidate GIANFORTE hold on to his Russian oil investments 1) after Putin invaded Ukraine 2) After proven without a doubt that Russia hacked U.S. elections last year (and most likely for many years).
The Russian people are rebelling but Putin’s government is hostile to the United States. Guessing many Republicans who made such deals support dicktraitor Trump in his attempt to open up the Arctic and deny climate justice. Gianforte is another Republican weeny who tries to deflect by blaming PBO – even when it’s Putin’s gross cold war aggression on the Ukraine.
Putin wanted the seaport in Crimea and it has nothing to do with PBO.
Gianforte: Another pro-Putin EXXON/Rosneft/KOCH/Big Oil climate killer dirtbag on the right.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
And Carson called slaves “immigrants”.
Wishing PBO a pretty plethora of well-paid speeches. Looking forward to the next one!! And the next one…
Meanwhile dicktraitor Trumputin and his ties to Russia is the real issue.
Tempus fugit.
The marketwatch article says that E. Warren was “troubled” by the speaking fees… Except for when the Orange Man refers to her as Pocahontas, I have always found E. Warren troubled!
Warren watches Wall Street and we need that but maybe Warren spoke without thinking? Has she forgotten that PBO put her up for Director of Consumer Financial Protection Program (GOP shot her down) that recovered 11.8 Billion for consumers (Fortune.com)
PBO enacted the Wall Street Consumer Protections Act in 2010 so we didn’t have a second financial meltdown (but watch Trumputin try) and the stock market tripled. Has Warren forgotten the worst GOP Congress in American history? The Do-Nothing McConnell/KOCH response to the second Great Depression. WE CAN NEVER THANKPBO ENOUGH for stalwartly standing between and protecting us from predatory global Trumputin corporate$$ for eight precious years of his life.
Lol about Bo & Sunny making bank!! Let the haters heads explode. Who cares?
Nancy Smash held her folks together and did good. So proud of her.
She runs circles around Paul “little-Eddie” Ryan….
One demagogue willing to avoid another.
Duterte compared his drug war to Hitler’s genocide.
Even fascists don’t want to get Mar.a.Lago-ed by a United States dicktraitor.
He knew he wouldn’t be well received here.
Probably afraid to leave his own country. You know coup happens!
You can say that again!
I like that “tied up” part, in particular.
“Too tied up” killing his fellow citizens on trumped up drug charges.
Poor Sean Calamity-Hannity 😦 It’s just him and Tuck-Tuck….
Bill Shine OUR at Fox. hahahaaaa. Hannity better make a plan now. He said if Shine is ousted then Fox is over
That is amazingly wonderful. I am glad they will be together. Look out Castro brothers. We have four beautiful, smart brothers making their way to college. God protect them and keep them.
THIS!
Wonderful!
blessings to them and their parents 🙂
CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice!!
PLEASE keep calling and help us humiliate this piece of garbage one more time:
“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
― Marcus Tullius Cicero
Thanks, Meta. Done and done.
Thank y ou, NW, for all the work that you do 🙂
Thank you!
I thought he would not run. He’s got a great voice in the House right now and he’s on some good committees, House Foreign Affairs and House Intelligence. Thank goodness the Dems have Beto O’Rourke ready to step up.
Good news.
Is there another strong candidate/
Is this a sign of ADD? or another serious mental deficiency?
I’m no expert, but could be both.
It’s a sign of someone who cannot be taken seriously because he says whatever comes to his head without thinking.
And *that* is a danger to our country…especially because our allies don’t know what to believe either.
The “Let Girls Learn” program, which she and President Barack Obama started in 2015 to facilitate educational opportunities for adolescent girls in developing countries, will cease operation immediately, according to an internal document obtained by CNN.
While aspects of the initiative’s programming will continue, employees have been told to stop using the “Let Girls Learn” name and were told that, as a program unto itself, “Let Girls Learn” was ending.
“Moving forward, we will not continue to use the ‘Let Girls Learn’ brand or maintain a stand-alone program,” read an email sent to Peace Corps employees this week by the agency’s acting director Sheila Crowley.
I wonder when Trump will “notice” we still have a Peace Corps, and then try to cease its operations as “too Democratic and sissified.”
Yes where is Ivanka? Or she only speaks up when she want her crazy father to drop bombs because he suppose to care about the Syrian children. Don’t worry, the Obamas will have a foundation and they will move forward with helping girls across the world get a education. I’m waiting for the WH kitchen garden to be torn up.
❤️🤙🏼
Their adventures are horrific — not excellent.
Love Joy …
Good bye to bad rubbish….don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya….
Great but MSNBC better not pick him up.
This is so moving.
Nice!! Really proud of all my fellow Americans who have gotten up off their behinds to protest this imposter in the White House. I hope he is getting the message loud and clear that we don’t consider him to be legitimate and will resist him to the bitter end.
Hello TOD on a Gloomy Monday Afternoon. It snowed in some areas up North Today in MN. 39F this AM in my neck of the woods 😉
One hear, it snowed in my area on May 20th. So May 1st is Nothing 😉
Congrats, NCLB on your solid Au ⭐
Thanks to TOD, I have a special safe place to shoot my Breeze 🙂
{{{ ❤ Chips ❤ }}}
Thanks, NW for all you do. It can't be easy.
My parents live in Canada (close to Toronto) and were telling me how cold it is up there. Kind of hard to believe because in Maryland, we’re experiencing a heatwave. Amazing that MN is still getting snow!!
So Bill Shine has lost his Shine at Fox!
Sean Hannity is rumored to be planning an exi?
Karma has a way of Delivering Sweet Justice.
What goes around, eventually, comes around.

Exit
Good Riddance!
Trump Campaign Replaces Ad Showing National Security Adviser In Uniform
The ad, which Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. announced Monday it would spend $1.5 million airing nationwide, originally included video of National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster shaking Trump’s hand at Mar-a-Lago, in uniform, after he accepted his new position in February.
Larry Noble of the Campaign Legal Center, a watchdog group, tweeted shortly after the ad was published that it seemed to violate military rules against partisan political activity.

Mind boggling
Trumptraitor’s war on Michelle Obama? War on the United States’ good name?
And/or 62 million girls who don’t have education and some are forced into child marriages and get pregnant when their bodies are not ready for it so it kills them and some girls who have their genitals cut out. Let it be known who Trumputin is hating on this week.
Meanwhile Mr. Revenge On The Children would be mighty “honored” to meet with Kim Jong Un.
The ladies standing behind First Lady Michelle Obama gave her a hug and they said yes when Michelle said I hope I made you proud.
I remember this night so well…….
president obama speech on osama bin laden

president obama speech on osama bin laden
This was back when we had serious and intelligent people in the White House who didn’t embarrass the hell out of us. Sigh.
Unfortunately does not include that loony Sheriff David Clarke….

A Milwaukee prosecutor says he has no timeline for deciding whether to charge several county jail employees over the death of an inmate who went seven days without water.
Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm also says he’s not bound by the jury’s recommendation Monday that seven staffers be charged in the death of 38-year-old Terrill Thomas. He said he could charge more people — or fewer.
It’s up to prosecutors whether to file charges. Thomas’ death was one of four at the jail last year but the only one where charges are being considered.
The inquest highlighted errors surrounding Thomas’ death, including the failure to log that his water had been turned off.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke oversees the jail, but inquest did not target him.
This should disqualify Clarke for higher office.
That’s why he has a 20% (and probably dropping) approval rating.
They shouldn’t have voted him in the first place…SHAQ and a bunch of DEMS..Cory Booker was his best bud too. That’s why CB is NOT President material if you back “Pillsbury Dough” boy CC,
Insurance companies made, pregnancy, a pre-existing condition to pay more than a young woman who never had children. After a pregnancy and you still take good care of yourself, lead a good life and do thinks the right way but are penalized anyway. WTF?
Also noted that donating a kidney is considered a pre-existing condition. How is that not leading a good life?
But as Rep. Brooks sees it, being afflicted with a serious or life-threatening pre-existing condition is the price you pay if you don’t live a healthy lifestyle.
“My understanding is that it will allow insurance companies to require people who have higher health care costs to contribute more to the insurnace pool,” said Brooks. “That helps offset all these costs, thereby reducing the cost to those people who lead good lives, they’re healthy, they’ve done the things to keep their bodies healthy. And right now those are the people—who’ve done things the right way—that are seeing their costs skyrocketing.”
Colin Kaepernick donates custom made suits to parolees looking for jobs
On Sunday, Kaepernick was passing out suits in front of the New York State Parole office for people who have been released from prison and are looking for jobs. According to the 100suits Instagram account, the suits were custom made.
It continues what’s been a highly productive offseason for Kaepernick. In March, he helped get an airplane to fly food and water to Somalia. A GoFundMe page was raised to purchase water, food, and other supplies to send. The page surpassed its $2 million goal in just four days.
Not long after making the donation, Donald Trump’s criticized Kaepernick saying that teams wouldn’t sign him because they “don’t want to get a nasty tweet from Donald Trump.” Just a few days later, he donated $50,000 to Meals on Wheels.

AMEN!! Preach it! The nerve of anyone to tell this man how to live his life now that he’s out of office. He’s not your slave.
Amen and a big thank you to Jason- real man !!
All of this, but I fixed the title; “Former President Barack Obama does not owe you trifling, ungrateful mofos anything; STFU and sit down”
I saw some journalists from Washington Post this morning who was on Morning Joke and she was talking the article she wrote concerning Obama receiving money for speaking for wall street. Of course in her opinion he is wrong for getting paid for the speeches, but I think she is wrong. President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama should get whatever amount wall street or anyone else is willing to pay them. More power to them. Thank You to the fellow who wrote that article, ” Dear America, Obama Owe You Nothing”.
Smart man…. also too maybe he wanted to be “fired” so that he COULD LEGALLY take the information to the state AG’s, you know like Federal Govt employee sharing with State Gov’t?
I say, they are LYING again.
They backtracking Now, Hmm?
GE Nena.
That’s this administration’s MO.
Hope someone is keeping track of all the oops… just kidding… abominations of this FUBAR presidency — they literally treat governing like it’s a game.
#deplorable
Hello Dear Friend.
Yup!
I agree with you, Arapaho. GE to you.
They play games. Lots of games.
What’s this about? I missed this.
