Good Afternoon TODVille!
Wow!
Hi NCLB! Congrats! š„
Well, lookee here, it’s Ms D-ette! š š Sure is a pleasure to see you rocking and rolling, babeee!
Hey ((((( ā¤ļøVeeCeeee ā¤ļø))))) !!!
Happy to be out here rocking and rolling! š
It is women like her who are largely responsible for DumbRumpTrump being in the white house.
Tis true, but this will be going down soon.
… this particular Trumpkin will going down soon.
GA Dudette. š
Are you in GA-06 (Ossoff’s soon-to-be-district)?
Nope, but sent $ and will be making calls for him.
Thanks for the new thread Queen Nerdy!
You ROCK!!! ā¤ļøšā¤ļø
Co-signing!
Are the Republicans even listening to her or are they 1) discounting her because she is female, and 2) vilifying her and attempting to verbally assault and discredit her, NOT based on what she is actually saying, but based on their prepared talking points even though it contradicts her testimony?
She may be soft-spoken, but she is tough!!!
GE SWBG.
Check out @sarahkendzior’s Twitter timeline — haven’t had a chance to read her article, but it sounds like da bomb.
NW, this one made me ROTFL. Sally Yates is darn impressive. I hope she runs for an office somewhere. Didn’t Ted Cruz know that you need to check statutes in the supplements to ascertain if your law is up to date? Sally schooled him.
Congrats, NCLB on your Solid Au ā
Thanks, NW for a New post.
Ms Yates is Unbelievable!
Cruz & Co are self proclaimed Smarty pants.
Ms. Yates with Class, Intellect, took them a Peg.
SHEEEEEEEEEEET
How much do I love seeing our president on the international stage? Sooooooooooooooooooo much!!! ā¤
Videooooooo
Thanks Dudette!
Here’s a translation of the tweet caption:
Barack Obama, after a break and lunch at the luxury hotel Park Hyatt, visited the Ambrosiana Gallery and the Duomo (Cathedral), including the….
Thanks MadameSoph!
Women have long, detailed memories and we keep the receipts; do not come for AG Sally Yates, a long-time fierce warrior for justice, with your condescension and half-backed accusations. I am so damn tired of white men in suits trying to shut up, talk over, and dismiss women who are more capable and honest than they are.
GE CEB.
See my comment to SWBG upthread…
She knew what she would be dealing with and came prepared with her intellect, integrity, and quiet courage.
That is how I am. Long, detailed memory. Very long. Very detailed. When you threaten our families, then whatever way opens will be taken to make you stand down.
Well Said!
Weak men have always feared the awesome power of women.
Re-posting this information from a Poll Judge Texas;
These Republican cowards can run, but now they can’t hide. This is public info now, and cannot be denied. I am thinking this today is the beginning of the end. It will probably be slow, and will be painful, but, it is coming. Trump can’t hide from this.
She is smarter and better prepared than all those Rethugs. Thanks to Sheldon Whitehouse for staying on this too.
Yassss Gurl!
Nice effort by this fella š
It’s good that Yates testified and did so forcefully today but we still need to demand an independent investigation into Russia’s interference in our election. Republicans aren’t going to police their own. They’ve made it clear that they’re not interested in finding out the truth of how Trump won last November. And they really need to keep Ms. Rice’s name out of their filthy mouths.
tRump makes Nixon look good in retrospect, despite Watergate. That was peanuts compared to this!
I know this feeling. š
Oh brother.
Translation: “Here he is, it’s him!”: Milan is crazy for Obama.

Yup, he can outstyle the stylin’ Italians!
Hai proprio ragione, Carolyn! (you’re exactly right, Carolyn!)
MY POTUS!!!! Ah, there’s Sam Kass, too.
Yes… yehhsss… yasssss!
I have been meaning to ask this question, Sam Kass’s wife is on is on CBS Morning Show some time, I was noticing that she look like she is pregnant. Have anyone hear if it is true or not.
Well Dang! Here we are swooning over the man and you just HAD to remind us that he’s married (and that his wife might be pregnant). Way to blow the mood. Thanks a lot!
Harrumph!!
‘Harrumph!!’ š š š š
Indeed!
He doesn’t even have to try. He just is:) I feel all lightheaded….
I know, right?

Whomp!
Damn!
Tell me this isn’t real. This can’t be.
Do you mean all the photographers? Yes, they are allowed to get in front of the witness table like that before the hearing starts, then some disperse and some sit on the floor under where the senators sit. It’s like a free for all!
Oh yes, it’s real.
Yep!
Okay I’m done! ROFL! ššš
To funny. š
Whoever came up with this strategy is a genius.
I love it!
Okay, I’m posting this and I’ve gotta go!
Clowns everywhere! WTF is this freak show!!
LOL! š
OMG WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK I CAN’T UNSEE THAT!!!
ROFL š¤”
I am annoyed about him surrounding himself with black children for this interview. I wonder if their parents gave permission for this.
I’m so proud of you and Barack. Keep up the good work. Love you.
Such a good hearing, we can even joke about it a little now!
She and Barack, once again leading by example, showing us what it means to be an active citizen. Love them.
CEB…….Agree.
Our FLOTUS is so adorable.
Looks as though old Claude changed his tweets because Comey was at Alexandria, VA, at 8:00 a.m. – not Arlington. But the Richmond info was correct.

Just a matter of time….
What time is Barack Obama speech tomorrow? Do anyone know?
Wasn’t sure it would be available for us to see real-time – aren’t the attendees buying tickets to be there, which would make it a closed event?

GE/GM TODville.
This FUBAR presidency has more twists and turns than a pulp fiction spy novel…
Here’s the URL:
https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/trump-is-putin-puppet
Never mind.
Just bad architecture, apparently, for a default page:
I don’t recall seeing headlines on this from last week:
From the article:
The New York Post plastered its story on the front page with a photo of an underwear-clad Weiner and the headline: ‘HARD COPY: Huma sent Weiner classified Hillary emails to print out.’ The Daily News went with a similar front-page screamer: ‘HUMA ERROR: Sent classified emails to sext maniac Weiner.’
The problem: Much of what Comey said about this was inaccurate. Now the FBI is trying to figure out what to do about it.
FBI officials have privately acknowledged that Comey misstated what Abedin did and what the FBI investigators found. On Monday, the FBI was said to be preparing to correct the record by sending a letter to Congress later this week. But that plan now appears on hold, with the bureau undecided about what to do.”
Anyone with more information, please advise.
Didn’t realize Comey made this claim last week…
If this is true, I wonder if Comey is feeling “mildly nauseous” about this?
Pres Obama is in Italy, the headline on this tweet from the newspaper La Repubblica says “It will be the young people to beat the populists.” He’s right about that. Especially in Europe the young people support the EU because they know their economic future depends on being able to move to where the jobs are.
Good morning everyone! Have a fantastic day.
Comey’s actions don’t make him easy to support or defend. But each time he is in the headlines, I think about one thing: should he be forced to resign, then the homegrown demagogues will nominate & push through someone who will NEVER even make a serious effort to get to the bottom of the Russian scandal. So team traitor will get off on everything. I always think about: “be careful what you wish for”. I hope that i am wrong
And this new FBI head would be holding the position for 10 years. That length of term would ensure that most gop corruption will not be considered a priority for prosecution
GM GCL.
Looks like PBO is being introduced NOW.
Click on Allison’s link below (thanks, Allison!).
Thanks a lot for the heads up
Did I just hear Condi suggest that (a) everyone should move on from examining the role of the WH & flynn as national security adviser bnow that McMaster is in charge (b) tillerson is a smart guy & knows what he is doing in state department (c)reducing the state department budget may not be too bad because it seems to have grown. May be I have misheard her on morning joe because it is still early. But if I didn’t hear wrong, then this would be another example of gop sticking together no matter what.
GM TODville.
Not sure when PBO is up, but Allison’s livestream has started.
PBO is being introduced NOW (“honored guest.. legacy)…
embodiment of hope..
“he is the most transformative, inspirational leader of our generation… “
Some tweets from @SEEDSandCHIPS:
Button the top button President Obama, that’s all you have to do. :).
The “come back in Italy” phrasing on this last tweet makes me think that whoever composed that tweet for Seeds & Chips ({{{Chips!š¤}}}}) is a native Italian speaker. In that top tweet, the ” ‘nnamo da Baracco” looks like Roman slang to me, for “andiamo da Baracco” or “Let’s go to (see) Barack!” or “We’re going to Barack!”
If Bill R is around, maybe he knows if the Milanese also use a similar dialect style for “andiamo” (let’s go!).
Ahhh, an intelligent, thoughtful representative of our country on the world stage, once again! President Obama is making some very good points and speaking with both pragmatism and compassion! The orange elephant in the room for me and, I’m sure, the attendees as well, is that the current WH occupant is a corrupt buffoon.
Have to get ready for work now, but thank you for this, Allison and Arapaho, I will watch the entire YouTube later; it looks to be fascinating!
Morning everyone…listening to my President discussing food and climate change. I love hearing his voice and his thoughts. Refreshing!
Meanwhile….
Good comments refuting GOP argument about access to healthcare via emergency room.
Barack Obama enjoys talking about the details of issues and teaches as he talks…I love that. There is virtually nothing that he doesn’t know something about. A lover of knowledge and books and reading. I miss that. Really, really miss that.
Hope this idea continues to spread.

PBO states that it’s not enough for activists to draw attention to an issue, but to also have concrete solutions to offer, as well as being willing to compromise.
Thanks for the link, JER. Getting my dose of PBO as we speak.
While Karen Handel complains about making it easier for people to vote because voter registration was opened leading up to the June run-off…
There are so many ads in Georgiaās 6th Congressional District race that they are creating the news. Literally.
The tidal wave of spending led a local television broadcaster, WXIA, to temporarily add a 7 p.m. newscast on its sister station. Fans of āThe Andy Griffith Showā repeats will have to look elsewhere for the next few weeks.
Why all the attention? Republicans have held the district, which spans from east Cobb County to north DeKalb County, for decades, and Tom Price won a string of landslide victories there every two years to maintain his grip on the seat. But when Donald Trump selected Price as his health secretary, the race to fill his congressional seat quickly turned into a nationally watched test of the presidentās popularity.

I knew it!
I knew it!
And this is way I’m not holding out hope that anything will come of the Trump investigation.
meta it is Malia.
Ah, he didn’t mention her by name but I was thinking it was Malia, too.
New post.

As usual, it was very nice listening to PBO at the Seeds & Chips Global Food Innovation Summit. Thanks a lot to those who provided the love links to the event
Good to see that Ossoff is not running away from ACA (as a lot of Dems did in 2010/2014)
