Good Morning TOD family. She has a beautiful voice. I’m bringing my comment over from the previous thread.
Did anyone see Keith Ellison on Morning Joe? Please let me know what you thought of his appearance. It was both horrendous.and embarrassing. But maybe I have it wrong. He was asked to respond to HRC’s assertion that the DNC was bankrupt and gave her nothing.
He has been less than spectacular lately IMO also. I live in his district and wrote him a love note regarding his mis-characterization of our president as the reason Dems had trouble winning off cycle elections. (no response when I asked if the bernie-bros sitting out made a difference). All i got back was a pretty generic form response, IMO not sufficient!!
I will surely chuckle the day he loses his seat to some 3rd party libertarian nutball. Perhaps a small price to pay to flip this seat to a real democrat…
I saw him & didn’t think he was that bad. He didn’t respond to the Hillary questions which I thought was good. Enough with pitting Dems against each other which is what they were going for. He emphasis was on moving forward not backward. I do think Dems need a message that resonates. They aren’t there yet. I don’t believe Bernie is the answer either. Joe’s primary question was about the DNC’s lower fundraising which based on Hillary’s and Jeb Bush’s fundraising money is not always the winner. There are so many Progressive groups asking for money the DNC may get left out of the loop.
That was an AWESOME audition. I was smiling throughout. ;-D 😀 😀 😀 😀 Thanks, Nerdy for sharing this and giving us something positive (as well as entertaining) to start the weekend!
The European Union has rejected Donald Trump’s offer to renegotiate the Paris climate agreement and pledged instead to bypass Washington to work with US business leaders and state governors to implement the historic accord’s commitments.
Less than 24 hours after the US president announced his decision to withdraw from the 2015 agreement and strike a new, less ambitious deal with the rest of the world, Brussels declared its outright refusal to engage in such talks.
EU officials will instead cut out the White House to deal directly with the US states and major corporations, many of whom have already pledged to live by the terms forged in Paris.
Michael Blumberg has committed $15 million to the EU to make up the US difference and pledges to work with cities of like minds. He has some sort of foundation to worth through this.
'Damn those lefties and their so-called science. What are they REALLY up to, that's the question. Bet you $10 it's something gay.' https://t.co/ofZvWfVxJs
The Devil made him do it, huh? I wonder what Trump and his sycophants have to say about the many corporations who disagree with Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement.
Good for them — and these are hardly leftwing folks. They are sensible businessmen and billionaires. Trump needs to listen to them instead of his Republican yes men and women.
Hope the Obamas and Bidens plan a (joint) trip there soon — Ireland treats their sons so well, and loves both POTUS and VP (forever) — IIRC, Jill wasn’t available for Joe’s trip to Ireland last year.
Would be so much fun to see them there, a real “pick me up” (in keeping with this thread’s theme 😀 ), and would love to see the new Irish PM host both families.
More than 80 mayors, who represent around 39M Americans, signed a letter committing their cities to the goals set by the Paris accord pic.twitter.com/ABKpN4fLUK
Trump would do so at his own peril. Trump barely won last November so he needs to remember that he’s not supported by the vast majority of the American people. He is not a dictator and this is not his kingdom.
Putin essentially says w/Trump in office he has successfully neutralized United States & prepared to break back of NATO asymmetrically. https://t.co/jGGHvZe9Qv
Business leaders, medical researchers, and any others who have a financial stake in this will not allow him to touch this new market. This rush to destroy every Obama accomplishment is mostly failing because most people like and benefit from what our PBO did. Our 44ever was and is about making life better and the world more equitable for all of us. 45 has only jealousy and spite, which Tim Kaine pointed out on Twitter. He flat out said the Dolt was jealous of Obama.
It’s as plain as the nose on ones face that #DJTdoctrine is to alienate our allies, dismantle NATO and act as #SiberianPresident. Haven’t seen this mentioned, but it’s beyond hubris to think that US can unilaterally develop 194 agreements (the number of countries which have agreed to the Paris Climate Accords).
Former US Ambassador to Russia has some good observations:
With regard to Bannon and Kushner … I think Bannon (and the GOP nuts -McTurtle and Lyin Ryan) is starting to turn the wheels to rid Kushner … and Putin’s Puppet.
Make way to install Teletubby Pence as the next Emperor.
Weaken US, weaken Europe … make Russia stronger.
Everything he tweets or does is to distract from Russia-gate. Including the exit from Paris climate deal.
I hope the resistance marchers show up in pink again so that PP can’t try to somehow put a spin to say they are his supporters (as Tally pointed out above)

Michael Bloomberg flew to Paris and standing next to Macron basically gives the finger to 45 and confirms what we, the citizens, researchers, corporate heads and governmental leaders on the local and state level are doing and will be doing to meet our climate goals.
As it should. He's a perjurer who worked with Manafort, met illictly w/ Russian officials and lied about it, and lied on his clearance forms https://t.co/PXEf9bNY0g
TRUMP IS AN OIL AND GAS THUG.
As are many of his top appointees.
Tillerson lied on oath. He is STILL signing Oil deals even though his confirmation was contingent on recusal from EXXON.
Pappa Putin’s objective is exactly what Trumputin obsesses about: The world “laughing at” the U.S.A. (himself).
However the election hacking plays out, Russia WINS if America waits to act.
Trumputin was working on lifting Russian sanctions even before and as well as after he took office.
Our famed historic U.S. National Security forces must take the traitor Trump down fast or lose their longtime International awe and credibility.
How long? Not long.
I will be watching. So happy to see people so excited and honored to hear and see our PBO. He really is the unofficial moral voice of the political world. The only American president to have this type of stature post-presidency.
This isn't just a matter of "Trump is an idiot"—this is SO dangerous. What about a next attack—or not??—in the US? What will public believe? https://t.co/pyTCiCO0V4

That article scares the hell out of me. I’m on SSDI. 😦
❤️ Keep You The Heart ❤️
Hope she’s ok
Hope she’s okay. I was a huge fan of “Moesha”.
Jesus. Is this Putin Puppet up for re election this year?
I miss these smart principled people leading our nation.
He needs constant stroking and reassurance. It’s embarrassing . I hope that the counter protest to this is YUUUUUGE!
Tomorrow is the March for Truth so chances are they will completely drowned out.
No, he’ll claim all those people are marching for HIM not TRUTH.
Hopefully tomorrow will be a day of huge protests against Trump and his Russian ties. Looking forward to it.
Boom! A big FU to DT, but NOT to US.

Just saw Bobfr’s post down below that explains this.
I love J. K. Rowling. I absolutely love her.
Riddikulus!
I’ve never read or watched any of her Harry Potter material but she writes some great crime fiction under the pseudonym “Robert Galbraith”.
I haven’t read any of the Harry Potter either and I love the Galbraith novels.
I LOVE MY REAL PRESIDENT….THE ENERGIZER BUNNY IS CHARGING HIS BATTERIES!….THE BOOMERANGS ARE BEING SHARPENED…<3
The Devil made him do it, huh? I wonder what Trump and his sycophants have to say about the many corporations who disagree with Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement.
France trolled the hell out of that fool; love it.
Good for them — and these are hardly leftwing folks. They are sensible businessmen and billionaires. Trump needs to listen to them instead of his Republican yes men and women.
My hero forever.
Ours!!! Doesn’t he look refreshing?
Just seeing a photo of him instantly makes me hopeful. It’s amazing.
My forever President.
🙂 TGIF 🙂
Hello TODbots.
Congrats, Don on your Solid Gold ⭐
Thanks, NW! 🍸

Congrats to Mr. Varadkar.

Trump and Bannon is turning this country into Little Russia.
Trump would do so at his own peril. Trump barely won last November so he needs to remember that he’s not supported by the vast majority of the American people. He is not a dictator and this is not his kingdom.
BHAHAHAHAHAHA……and to think he almost got rid of Bannon and that other nutcase. I think DT might be mad at his daughter and sil.

Trump doesn’t care about hurricanes which is why filling the top positions in FEMA and NOAA aren’t a priority for him but destroying healthcare is.
Thanks for the pick me up Nerdy I needed that today

Lord, his tender fee-fees can’t this much longer. What will he do next?
A little spicy language…though, this is actually quite tame for RP:) Still. worth the read.

What a lovely find. So exciting to see how thrilled they are to host PBO. Thanks so much, JER!
I will be watching. So happy to see people so excited and honored to hear and see our PBO. He really is the unofficial moral voice of the political world. The only American president to have this type of stature post-presidency.
Heh. 10-1 PBO is the best ever !!
Van Morrison: It ain’t why why why why why why – it just is.
FUNNY
OMG! This is hilarious.
Thank you, Michael Bloomberg.
