Everyone remain strong. Mueller didn't hire all those exp prosecutors-and they didn't put lucrative jobs on hold-bc they expect to lose. https://t.co/h6LT4do68A
I know, I’ve loved it always too! Have played the 3 times in the last 1/2 hour, singing along.. Weeping with joy, and loving the celebration! Thank you, Dudette, dear one, for cleaning this up and bringing here for us all to enjoy!
Saw this tweet (not familiar with this tweeter, but one person’s opinion):
Once the sanctions are lifted and arctic drilling begins and payoffs roll into US oil companies, the Sec of State will be swapped out.

On a happier note, this Senator has the best job in the world (IMHO — New Mexico is my favorite state — there’s so much beauty in so many states, but there’s something special for me in NM, can’t explain it).
My wonderful post gone awol was about the pendulum, Light and darkness, and the Full Moon. (It was one of my more inspired pieces, imho). Anyway, Full Moon is upon us: tonight 9:07pm PDT. early tomorrow 0:07am EDT, at 17 ♑️ 09. Nice night to sit out and watch it. Astrologers seem to feel this maniac so-called president and his treacherous admin will not survive the very powerful eclipse coming up in August. Let us hope what is written in the stars will prove correct and indisputable!
Sorry about your WordPress problems — sounds like you’re on an Apple product, and I’ve never owned anything by Apple, so I’m no help at all — WP seems to be OK on Microsoft Windows 10. Judith Fardig suggested that you clear your cache and defrag, but I don’t know if that’s something you can do with Apple.
I’ve missed quite a bit here, but this is the first reference here I’ve seen about August’s eclipse. Last year I was pretty excited about making plans to be somewhere to see it, but I’m now content to stay where I am — a special event like this is an excuse for crazy people to be even crazier, and I can’t tolerate that now.
In the back of my mind, though, I’m hoping for some kind of karmic intervention/thunderbolt to accompany/precede this celestial milestone.

Following Pamela’s lead, here’s little more inspiration for when it feels like there is no end to the darkness.
Be encouraged! Remember who we and why we are. Don’t give up!
RIP Nelsan Ellis – True Blood fans will remember him as Lafayette. He also played MLK Jr in Lee Daniel’s The Butler and Bobby Byrd in the James Brown biopic, Get On Up.
So young and such a talent. He just finished guest starring on Elementary on CBS this season. Rest in Power Nelsan. Prayers for his family and his son in particular.
Good. Charlottesville is a beautiful town and very diverse and liberal. Glad to see so many of the good people there coming out to protest the Klan and to call for the taking down of a Confederate statute.

Good morning. The video of “Over the Rainbow.” I, too, like that version. However, it holds sad memories. That version was played behind a long video of Walker’s short 4 years of life. 😦
Video of #OurPresident is an excellent reminder. #YESWECAN. #YESWEWILL.
EXCLUSIVE: Former CIA Director John Brennan says Trump's refusal to acknowledge Russia's interference in US election is "dishonorable." #MTPpic.twitter.com/nkSO08w0Yy
Total incompetent. Threat to our very way of life…and the behavior of someone that has something to hide. I can not WAIT for the day he meets his due.

GM, Renaissance woman, Dudette.
You are our resident science geek/guru, eclectic music DJ, mood lifter and all-around Wonder Woman. I hope that your health is improving more and more, at warp speed everyday. You were missed so much when you were away from us; the village is more complete, more alive when you are here.
GM Nerdy. Thanks so much for keeping the village open and thriving; you give us life.
Special thanks to JER: You always have the best and latest PBO photos from all over the world and the latest breaking news (I believe you must have some special connections) that uplifts us all.
Special Shout-outs to other regulars who form the foundation of our village: desert flower, meta, tnmntgrl, Sue, Arapaho,G Gail, Globalizationlinda, wherepamelawandered, Judith Fardig ( our Queen Warrior Woman), Tally, Hope44, amk of the ever-evolving names, and Bob. Thank you for not leaving us after PBO left office and for helping us to transform into the type of place we need to survive, thrive, and fight during these perilous times.
Final thank you to our founder, Ms. Chips: I think of you often and hope that you are doing well.
Aww ((((( CEB )))) you got me all verklempt! I’m going great. Feeling my strength coming back, hearing music again, enjoying being refreshed & renewed whenever I come to the village.
Couldn’t agree with you more about the wonderful TOD family members here. Nerdy is a absolute goddess for keeping us together and having Queen Chips’ back. Love to you and everyone here! 😘❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the uplifting comment, appreciate you mentioning me. 🙂
I’ve mentioned before that I always learn when I visit here, and am grateful to all who comment. Miss those who haven’t been here in awhile, especially Chips and Danny 😦 … this tweet reminded me of our beloved site founder, who is always in our hearts:
Yes yes yes. Beautiful truths beautifully told. Your words and presence bless the TOD family as well CEB. Thankful grateful moved. Bless NerdyWonka Ms. Chips and all ya’ll. Every day every way thankyou.
LOL! I am one of the aunties who learned early not to turn the nephew loose on anything (a sneaky mofo) and tried to warn the other family members. They finally learned after cable bills in the thousands (porn), missing money and other nefarious deeds. They thought because he had that winning smile, delayed development and related issues that he could/would not do the things that many so-called normal kids did, but I had him scoped out long ago and am the only one who has not been hoodwinked by him. He was my running partner (movies, parks, museums, beach, etc) until he reached 13 (I refuse to deal with the stinky teen years), so I was hip to what he was really about.
LOL! Well I haven’t been hoodwinked yet (at least not that I know) but mine have most definitely cost me a PRETTY penny to the point where some choice cuss words where expelled! 😄
Would have been funnier were it not for the cursing and calling his niece out of her name. Guess I’m too old school for what’s acceptable these days. God help us !!
Yeah, the cussing was a bit much and I hope he’s really not going to confront his family over this issue and cause a commotion. But he has the comedic attitude down pat.
LMAO! I have NO idea about that….not really…..I got a daughter that thought since it was a “cell phone” conversation, it was free. To England. $1700. Daddy Loooooooves his little girl!
“I would like to thank everyone who sent kind greetings on the occasion of my 82nd birthday and who joined in celebrating the day in many parts of the world.
As you are probably already aware, my life is guided by three principal commitments — to contribute to bringing about a more compassionate world; to encourage inter-religious harmony, and to work to preserve Tibet’s Buddhist culture, which is a culture of peace and non-violence, while also drawing attention to the need to protect the natural environment of Tibet. Since the Tibetan Plateau is the source of Asia’s major rivers, more than one billion people depend on the water they provide.
Tibet’s Buddhist culture is derived from the traditions of India’s historic Nalanda University, which encouraged dependence on reason and logic over reliance on mere scriptural authority. It adopted an empirical approach, like science, which included a thorough knowledge of the workings of the mind and emotions that remains extremely relevant today.
These are commitments by which I abide myself, but I often ask brothers and sisters who show me affection and respect to consider joining me in upholding them.
In short, may I request you please to help others whenever you can and if for some reason you can’t do that, at least to refrain from doing anyone any harm.
At this point in FUBAR’s alignment with Vlad, Nazis and the “uneducated” (his words on the campaign trail) and his lust to isolate US from all nations without a dictator, I’m ignoring most male pundits.
He's committing treason blatantly and the audacity with which he does it is a sign he believes he's consolidated power with Russian partners
1) Profit 2) Weakened, sick population can't fight back 3) Plan hurts women most; women lead opposition 4) Helps Russia + other adversaries https://t.co/uBQt1uM57v
Dunno the original source. I pulled the video from another tweet that mentioned a couple of people started singing along with the song on the train and everybody joined in. I think it’s great!
When pursuing a corrupt politician, mobster or murderer on strong FBI evidence, if he "vehemently denied it," we just dropped it usually. https://t.co/d4HqyHQexB
My MIL used to tell me, you don’t ask a child *IF* they did something, because of course they’re going to deny it and now they’re in double trouble for lying. The question should be, “WHY DID YOU….?”
By the same token, asking Putin IF he interfered in the US elections, of course he is going to deny it. And just because you ask more than once and he denies it more than once doesn’t make him any less guilty. But 45 obviously has “Boo Boo the Fool” written on his forehead, and he confirms this label by basically going, “Duh, Okay.”
And while I’m ranting, Ivanka sitting at the table at the G20…it seems that any time she’s given an opportunity to interact with some foreign dignitary, it turns into some benefit to their family business. Wonder what she was bargaining for this time.
What good will it do trying to network with someone who has the attention span of a gnat…unless you want to spend the time telling him how wonderful he is (and keep from vomiting while you do it).
…Obama made the right call here, as he usually does, and if people on both sides would stop and think a bit, they’d be able to see why. …
DO YOU BELIEVE FOR TWO MINUTES THAT A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT WHO HAS HAD ISSUES WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND IS FRIENDLY WITH THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE COULD POSSIBLY GET AWAY WITH ANNOUNCING THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS BENEFITING FROM THE ACTIONS OF THE RUSSIANS, A COUNTRY THAT IS OUR ADVERSARY, AND NOT BE ACCUSED OF DOING SOMETHING UNETHICAL OR UNFAIR? …
… Obama, being a man who actually thinks things through before he decides to do anything, surely thought this out, and chose the best of two bad options. He chose to not publicly reveal it in order to maintain neutrality. He understood that whatever he did had the weight of the White House behind it, and throwing the election to either party would have disgraced the office. … More here: http://bit.ly/2sR4bFK
And crickets from the party in power…..NOTHING! They are all culpable.
FFS he already has. All the "cybersecurity group" does is create an official pretext for ongoing crimes. It's sanctioned collusion. https://t.co/iwGKh8T40v
Hello Beloved TODbots.
❤ ❤ ❤ TOD Global Village.
Thanks to You All for all YOU Do.
Congrats to all the Furst Au ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ since Friday, starting with this Post.
Read all, Got caught Up. Love The Tweet Pic with Pres Obama & the Child, Gissiel(sp) with her Lovely straw hat.
Turn over more stones. I guarantee there’s more than a dozen.
A source w/ knowledge of investigation tells me that upwards of a dozen GOP members/Sens are being looked at for financial ties to Russia. https://t.co/gGHLoeyQUC
Really? I’m more inclined to believe that Mcturtle is one and not McCain, but then again both these guys have enormous war chest that they shouldn’t need Russian money.
Hey Claude, here's a story that broke this morning that may be of interest to you… https://t.co/PhVxW0EPLw
— Impeach Donald Trump (@Impeach_D_Trump) July 9, 2017
From the article:
“Yesterday evening, IR.net was made aware of a complaint that has been filed by Massachusetts Attorney, J. Whitfield Larrabee against Republican U.S. Representatives Dana Rohrabacher (48th Congressional District of California) and Ed Royce (39th Congressional District of California) as well as Republican U.S. Senator James Risch of Idaho, in relation to contributions which appear to have been made through Paul Manafort and other lobbyists who were illegally acting as intermediaries for foreign entities — more specifically the Ukraine Party of Regions (a Vladimir Putin ally) and the European Centre For a Modern Ukraine (also a Putin ally).”
Here’s (at least one, there may be more) challenger to Royce:
From the article:
“The move — pushed by House Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce as a way to streamline the agency — concentrates control into a powerful CEO who is appointed by the president.”
Here is what it means: Trump will dismantle American intelligence, share secrets with Putin, Russia will fix elections in 2018 and 2020 https://t.co/Ik7pHyXw0E
If he can get away with doing all that, of course he will. He’s made it clear that he will not take any action against Russia for its interference in our elections. This is beyond the pale.
What kills me is that for the last I don’t know how many years the Republicans have preached patriotism. Baseball, apple pie and subprime loans, this Russia thing is so wicked and evil. How does a man mentally go about selling out his own country?
$$$$$. Lots of it. I think Putin rescued dt when no American banks would lend him any more $$ because he’s a bad risk. This agreement was put in place years ago. Imo
Yep, all the dt’s financing has come from overseas, which I thought was investigated before he got elected. Let me back up, his finances should have been investigated before he won the electoral college.
Until 1968, the GOP were the Party of Lincoln. They saw what The Dixies could not achieve in 1948……Truman won & Dewey Lost. However in 1968, Wallace’s win of 5 States, along with Nixon’s Southern strategy, Gave Nixon a Win. They started plotting a takeover of the Media. While the Dems/Lefties/Progressives/Liberals were marching, governing, GOP concentrated on Dominance by any means necessary.
Today, GOP & their Hard Right Control 40% of US Media……driving Content, Coverage, Fake News, etc to distort & deny Facts to 321M Americans.
Those who control the Media, Control the Power.
Just a polite reminder: Our fearful leader, his Orange Majesty Fuckface Blubber von Clownstick has been in public view for 40 years. He was born to privilege and arrogance. He has always been a selfish, disgusting scumbag that continually does and says horrible things. That’s it. There’s nothing new to learn about it, we know what we have.
The @GOP are allowing the WORLD to see how irresponsible they are allowing this clearly unqualified man suffering from AZ to damage the US. https://t.co/tRqy4VGar2
I am shocked that people are still trying to analyze contradictory pronouncements about what went on between putin and the homegrown demagogue at the G20;
Shouldn’t people know by now that all these pronouncements are probably lies that will be contradicted within only a few hours or days;
most should remember that we are dealing with two administrations that are not only corrupt-to-the-core, but are also pompous to boot;
each one wants the world to stand and notice how very important they are and to control the media narrative;
so my advice to people is that for now, just listen to the pronouncements with amusement.
guessing that in a few days, all this will be changing as each one (putin and scoundrel#45) tries to look more important in the world.
then we world will be trying to figure out who is telling the truth – except if the russians taped the conversation.
;
The drill: Team #45 say glowing PR-tested lies abt event; then @realDonaldTrump & putin contradict them => no honor among corrupt egomaniacs

Good. Charlottesville is a beautiful town and very diverse and liberal. Glad to see so many of the good people there coming out to protest the Klan and to call for the taking down of a Confederate statute.
But it took another 100 years to gain full rights of a citizen and now Republicans are trying desperately to take them away. #Resist.

Neat!! I could have flown a lot longer with him/her.
Of course Trump isn’t going to acknowledge that Russia interfered with him to help him win. It’s beyond dishonorable. It’s criminal.
DUH. This is not normal. This man is mentally ill.

It’s about the Oil, the oil, the oil, the oil, the oil.
Delusional.
RIGHT ON!

Read all, Got caught Up. Love The Tweet Pic with Pres Obama & the Child, Gissiel(sp) with her Lovely straw hat.
#ThanksObama for this Smile on my face Today 🙂 🙂 🙂
Turn over more stones. I guarantee there’s more than a dozen.
I think Mueller should change his name to Donnie Brasco because when he’s finished the entire Trump/GOP/Russia mob family is going down.
I do believe our friend, McCain may be one…..
Really? I’m more inclined to believe that Mcturtle is one and not McCain, but then again both these guys have enormous war chest that they shouldn’t need Russian money.
I think I read it somewhere….Khan maybe. Had the paperwork. McConnell too.
Rohrabacher is another one
Add Paul Lying Ryan to the list, that guy is a certified crook.
Both are being rewarded w/ jobs for wives. I’d say that’s a clue.
Thanks, DF.
Lots of good info in the RT’d article:
From the article:
“Yesterday evening, IR.net was made aware of a complaint that has been filed by Massachusetts Attorney, J. Whitfield Larrabee against Republican U.S. Representatives Dana Rohrabacher (48th Congressional District of California) and Ed Royce (39th Congressional District of California) as well as Republican U.S. Senator James Risch of Idaho, in relation to contributions which appear to have been made through Paul Manafort and other lobbyists who were illegally acting as intermediaries for foreign entities — more specifically the Ukraine Party of Regions (a Vladimir Putin ally) and the European Centre For a Modern Ukraine (also a Putin ally).”
Here’s (at least one, there may be more) challenger to Royce:
We are already well aware that Rohrbacher is R-Vlad, but I was wondering about Royce because (from Dec 2016):
From the article:
“The move — pushed by House Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce as a way to streamline the agency — concentrates control into a powerful CEO who is appointed by the president.”
Thanks for posting more details here, arapaho:)
If he can get away with doing all that, of course he will. He’s made it clear that he will not take any action against Russia for its interference in our elections. This is beyond the pale.
What kills me is that for the last I don’t know how many years the Republicans have preached patriotism. Baseball, apple pie and subprime loans, this Russia thing is so wicked and evil. How does a man mentally go about selling out his own country?
$$$$$. Lots of it. I think Putin rescued dt when no American banks would lend him any more $$ because he’s a bad risk. This agreement was put in place years ago. Imo
Yep, all the dt’s financing has come from overseas, which I thought was investigated before he got elected. Let me back up, his finances should have been investigated before he won the electoral college.
Well, if we hadn’t had different rules for Republicans…we would have seen all his tax returns, in full, for the last 30 years. But hey…IOKIYAR
Until 1968, the GOP were the Party of Lincoln. They saw what The Dixies could not achieve in 1948……Truman won & Dewey Lost. However in 1968, Wallace’s win of 5 States, along with Nixon’s Southern strategy, Gave Nixon a Win. They started plotting a takeover of the Media. While the Dems/Lefties/Progressives/Liberals were marching, governing, GOP concentrated on Dominance by any means necessary.
Today, GOP & their Hard Right Control 40% of US Media……driving Content, Coverage, Fake News, etc to distort & deny Facts to 321M Americans.
Those who control the Media, Control the Power.
Just a polite reminder: Our fearful leader, his Orange Majesty Fuckface Blubber von Clownstick has been in public view for 40 years. He was born to privilege and arrogance. He has always been a selfish, disgusting scumbag that continually does and says horrible things. That’s it. There’s nothing new to learn about it, we know what we have.
Tell it!
Leadership on the World Stage….we will see it again…YES WE CAN!
New post.

I am shocked that people are still trying to analyze contradictory pronouncements about what went on between putin and the homegrown demagogue at the G20;
Shouldn’t people know by now that all these pronouncements are probably lies that will be contradicted within only a few hours or days;
most should remember that we are dealing with two administrations that are not only corrupt-to-the-core, but are also pompous to boot;
each one wants the world to stand and notice how very important they are and to control the media narrative;
so my advice to people is that for now, just listen to the pronouncements with amusement.
guessing that in a few days, all this will be changing as each one (putin and scoundrel#45) tries to look more important in the world.
then we world will be trying to figure out who is telling the truth – except if the russians taped the conversation.

Nap time…bbl 🙂 I can. I’m on vacation:)
Enjoy the zzzzzzz!
