OMG, I just had to BLOCK two people who made negative comments on my John Lewis commencement tweet.
Yeah! I get exactly where you are coming from – there are some lines I can’t allow people to cross & that right there is one of those lines
Exactly. Not on my watch!
I block early and often! 🔨😉
Boom!
This is what I’m watching right now.
It makes me Happy!
I am doing that as well
67 yo.
Happy B-Day, Stevie Wonder!
Happy Birthday Stevie. He had one heck of a b-day party here a couple of days ago and it was on jam!
Dudette, it is so good to see you ❤ Sending prayers for your health and strength.
Hey ((( GGail! )))Good to see you too! Thank Hon! 😘
{{{{Dudette}}}}
I was in Rome in the fall of 1967, and an American student in my group described a vital young blind vocalist and musician called Stevie Wonder at the night club she went to. He was just 17 then.
🎼
Happy Birthday Stevie.
Heh heh!
Love it!
Sweet.
Folks are NOT playing! Forward!
I have heard the sentiment that Comey keeps records very meticulously expressed multiple times by those who have known him over the years;
therefore, if it is true that director Comey keeps receipts, it may be the case that through his many public (and recorded) lies, the homegrown demagogue has bitten off more than he can chew;
The FBI and over-all intelligence community of the U.S. and allies are coming for Trump, and they will bring him down.
Yes I think you are exactly right. He has been doing a lot of damage & taking much glee trash-talking & insulting people who put their lives on the line on behalf of us all. With that humiliating termination of one of their own, he signed his own ticket to ruin. He has made a career of humiliating, hurting, and exploiting people & those he tears will bring karma
Of Course! We all love him. The last real American President
As far as I’m concerned, President Obama is still our President. The one occupying the White House is not worthy of that office. He’s a mess and an embarrassment to this country.
THEY BROKE THE MOLD ON THE ENERGIZER BUNNY!
HA!
OH!!!! THIS IS RICH!!! Considering FLOTUS has been championing healthy food/ healthy lifestyle….now look what shitforbrains has to say about people that have Type 2 diabetes. There is a place in hell for these wretched excuses for people.
http://www.politicususa.com/2017/05/13/trump-white-house-diabetics-deserve-health-care.html
Trump Budget Director Mick Mulvaney said that people with Type 2 diabetes don’t deserve to have health insurance because they gave themselves diabetes.
While speaking at Stanford University, Trump Budget Director Mick Mulvaney classified diabetes as a bad lifestyle choice, “That doesn’t mean we should take care of the person who sits at home, eats poorly and gets diabetes. Is that the same thing as Jimmy Kimmel’s kid? I don’t think that it is.”
If you get Type II diabetes because you listened to Republicans and rebelled against former First Lady Michelle Obama’s efforts to encourage healthy eating, you’re on your own.
According to the CDC, “More than 29 million Americans are living with diabetes, and 86 million are living with prediabetes, a serious health condition that increases a person’s risk of type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases. Type 2 diabetes accounts for about 90% to 95% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes, and type 1 diabetes accounts for about 5%. The health and economic costs for both are enormous.”
The way Republicans are going to bring down the cost of health care is to not pay for care for people who have Type II diabetes.
I hate them all. I really do.
Evil scumbags!!!! I hope someone caught that on tape & that it is run 24/7 throughout the nation …. and then we can see where republicans can hide
Wonder if that means we don’t have to fork out $$ for the fat ass fraud that sits in the Oval?
He is a dumbass for life.
I know a guy (white) who is skinny as a rail and he has type 2 diabetes, it is heredity in his family.
Definition of type 2 diabetes: “A chronic condition that affects the way the body processes blood sugar (glucose).”
exactly
Ugh! Just… ugh!
Another day, where GOP is once again doing undemocratic things.
These idiots took oaths, yet they ignore their responsibilities. Are Dem areas Not Taxpayers who help pay these idiots Salaries?
Can they get away with this?
These republican f**kers in NC are evil and determined to hold on to power in any way that they can. Even when NC elected a Dem. gov. they tied up things on the way out to limit his power. The governor wound up in the court s to challenge this. NC republicans are turning the state in some kind of bastardized theocracy.
While we are talking about Russia, we are not talking about Voter Suppression enough. The Republicans help steal this election.Republicans on Capital Hill, Governors and local state legislation.
And don’t think this committee Trump is forming to tackle voter fraud and voter suppression is nothing short of suppressing a democratic tack over in 2018.
I’m not blaming Democrats for voter suppression but would encourage them to figure out how to help folks get the proper ID long before elections. We keep hearing these stories and nothing changes.
He can lie and do what comes naturally and get a big pay raise. He was never interested in doing the people’s work
If I remember correctly, he sleeps in his office on the rare occasions the House is in session.
That’s not because he’s doing the people’s work, I’m guessing it’s because he’s cheap
Must See TV 😀
He has such a damn big mouth….lucky for us
I’m cheering him on. I want Trump humiliated.
I feel for 50M S. Koreans.
😍😍😍
In times when the fundamental bond of the human family, our brother and sisterhood is challenged by divisive haters, we all need “Someone to Lean On.” (Playing for Change)
Michelle Obama will always be my First Lady for Life.
And I laugh.
This man brought tears to my eyes.
HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY CELEBRATING MOTHERS AROUND THE WORLD…I HAVE SO MANY THINGS TO TAKE FOR CELEBRATION AT CHURCH TOMORROW…GOTTA’ GET STARTED NOW…PEACE…OUT!
Have a wonderful day tomorrow Sue ❤
Well written article
Looks interesting – thanks!
one additional person who needs to be thoroughly investigated is keith schiller, the homegrown demagogue’s former bodyguard and an apparent current enforcer.
he is reported to be the person who delivered the letter that fired director Comey’s to the FBI headquarters;
although he was former member of the NYPD, I suspect that he cannot have worked to the corrupt-to-the-core homegrown demagogue and his company, since 1999, without having acted outside the law;
among all the scumbags around 45, this one cannot be overlooked and one hopes that the FBI & media can focus on him too;
I recall seeing video and reading stories about him manhandling people during the campaign;
last I heard about him was as one of the pretenders, with kushner, who went as the “formal delegation” to iraq
GE GCL.
A couple of thoughts from #NeverTrump Republicans about Schiller (who is poised to join AG Sessions and DHS Kelly in establishing the #jackbooted thugocracy that I mentioned to DF downthread):
Schiller’s current position is Director of White House Operations:
YES! I remember so fondly when we had a good man for President ❤
yes, I certainly do! will never forget
I admire K.O. because he is not hysterical, but, speaks truthfully and factually.
I strongly urge TODers, lurkers too, to listen closely to his video, then share it, post it, tweet it.
Republicans think THESE people need a raise, not you
https://aflcio.org/paywatch
Steady dose of lies
GE DF.
It’s truly frightening how quickly FUBAR president is transforming this country into a #jackbooted autocratic thugocracy for the oligarchs:
OMG
I think they’ve broken twitter – or maybe thedonaldimbulb is shutting down the interwebz
I was just about to post this. Hallelujah, the Trumpster is going down.
I think we all saw it at the same time! Hope it’s true. Hallelujah.
There’s a maybe/maybe not discussion at BJ which is interesting
Lots of folks question all their predictions … it seems they have some kind of track record, but I can’t keep up with it! There’s also a lot of finger pointing among some of ’em. Oh, well, tomorrow is another day!
Yep some peeps are doing the “I ain’t in this shit dance” But to me it sounds like a segue to an asset seize and freeze
Yeah, baby!
GM JO’B (know it’s the middle of the night where you are; heck it’s practically that where I am, but man, oh man, keeping up with the FUBAR president is infuriating, shocking, AND exhausting 😦 ).
Agree with you — reading nonMSM timelines of Sarah Kendzior, Louise Mensch, John Schindler, Claude Taylor, etc.) reminds me of being in junior high, when you had to keep straight which of your friends hated your other friends — and you’re kind of caught in the middle, cause you like both “enemies.” 😦
good way to put it Arapaho… I take them all with a large grain of salt 😉
GM! Oh, yes, you nailed it on the junior high part. Never saw anything like it. We’ll have to muddle through … 🙂
It currently appears to be a pipe dream – one can always hope 🙂
Two of my heroes, Cory Booker and Bryan Stevenson … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jZxnVV6xq0 … sharing just because they are so inspiring, and I really appreciate all the nuggets I continually find on TOD.
Good Morning TOD I wish all of you a very Happy Mother’s Day. And here is a lovely story of goodness for ya: http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/group-sends-thousands-of-mothers-day-cards-to-immigrant-moms/ar-BBB6khh?li=AA4ZnC&ocid=spartandhp
Happy Mother’s Day…to all who are mothers or play the role of a mother in someone’s life. Have a blessed day!
Happy mother’s day to all of the sexy mothers out there and um, good luck with everything.
Well, what if you’re not sexy, have had a 102 fever and the flu for the last 4 days and feel like poop? Do I get a Happy Mother’s Day, too?
Happy Mother’s Day
🙂 Thanks, bella
you are one hot mama?
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers and grandmothers out there!! I hope your day is a grand celebration of all you do for your families every day!!
Wait. What?
Unfreakinbelievable.
Thank you President Obama. And I want to wish Michelle Obama a Happy Mother’s Day too and thank her for representing this country so well when she was our First Lady.
Good Morning! 😁 😍 😁
And that’s the truth!
GM, Dudette!
Happy Mother’s Day!

Ha. Joy Reid had Rep. Waters introduce her own segment on the show, this morning: “Your Moment with Maxine is next.” 🙂
Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers, Grandmothers, and Mothers to be. I hope you are showered with all the love and appreciation you so richly deserve everyday. 💐🌹🌹🌹🌷❤️
Helping to empower girls who are homeless.
Happy Mother’s Day to our mothers and grandmothers, and to all who have been a mother to us.
Happy Mothers Day to mothers everywhere, including those who, though not biological mothers, have nurtured children as if they had given birth to them.
More on indictments from Claude Taylor:
Dana Boente is the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District Federal Court of Virginia, the prosecutor handling these cases.
Huge, if true. Some people are casting doubt on Claude’s posts — I look forward to seeing/hearing how this all unfolds.
German media has picked up the story today and Stern magazine has published with citations for Claude. I think it’s real.
Yes, I’ve now noticed! The US media is slow as usual…my fingers are crossed.
PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE A DUTY TO WARN THE COUNTRY ABOUT TRUMP. WE CAN NO LONGER PRETEND THAT HE IS STABLE
If you knew there was a bomb on an airplane, what ethical principle could compel you to remain silent? See something. Say something.
… We, responsible psychologists and psychiatrists, see something and we’re saying something because we are ethical professionals and loyal Americans, and we won’t be silenced.
