Former President Bill Clinton spoke at the 60th Anniversary of the Little Rock Nine, who helped to end segregated schools by attending Little Rock Central High School, a previously all-white school. The president talked from anything from insects to neanderthals to President Trump and connected it to the strength of nine brave black students back in 1957.
Beyond freaking Superb.
Normally, the current President would be the one to speak at such a momentous occasion but since we have a White Supremacist in the White House, we need to reach back to our former Presidents. Thank you, President Clinton.
Everybody hates you, Donny. Most of all Mueller hates your guts and he’s coming for you.
People living in northern Iraq voted overwhelmingly in favour of independence for the Kurdistan Region in Monday’s controversial referendum.
The electoral commission said 92% of the 3.3 million Kurds and non-Kurds who cast their ballots supported secession.
The announcement came despite a last-minute appeal for the result to be “cancelled” from Iraq’s prime minister.
Haider al-Abadi urged Kurds to instead engage in dialogue with Baghdad “in the framework of the constitution”.
Kurdish leaders say the “Yes” vote will give them a mandate to start negotiations on secession with the central government in Baghdad and neighbouring countries.

It’s too late alabadi.
Oh boy!
HA HA HA – imagine if one of our male Democratic leaders had done that? It would be all over cable into eternity. Let’s the late night comics have a field day with this even if it was not intentional.
As someone who has walked alongside a family member throughout a gender change + a young son who has a friend (or two) who
is referred to as “they”: My interpreter field stereotype antennae want to interpret the vibe I get from Kushner. Human variability is
by definition everywhere. Wow. Maybe we’ll see, maybe not.
Or maybe just a weird nefarious voting scam.
Voter fraud in DOTARD’S his own family!
At our OFA meeting last night, we celebrated the defeat of Graham Cassidy and discussed ways to promote ACA sign ups this upcoming enrollment period. We think Mark Zuckerberg should atone for those Russian bot/ads on Facebook during the 2016 campaign by making sure there are free Facebook ads promoting ACA sign up from November 1-December 15th.
that is a great idea
đđźđđź. I’ll sign on that
Great idea. Please let us know Mark’s response. He owes the American people a lot for what he allowed Russia to do last year.
Hello, TODville. Hope everyone is having a good day. This is from last night:

This is what leadership looks like. Not talking about football. Not talking about destroying healthcare. Not talking about giving tax breaks to the wealthy. Talking about helping people impacted by a natural disaster. This is what leaders do.
Rep Al Green needs to be supported by the entire Democratic Party on this. Trump needs to be impeached for a number of reasons and the fact that he’s a fascist racist is just one of those reasons.
I simply love this picture. PBO is a the perfect role model for everyone.

Yep. They’re going to vote to give their buddies and TRUMP a huge tax break. Cool, huh?
Exactly.
And as one of the tweet comments pointed out, if they’re STILL whining about this being done during the anthem, they don’t WANT to understand what it’s about.
I say…stop playing the anthem, if the military cross-promotion $$$ can somehow be taken out of the equation.
Amen to that. It’s amazing what that man has gotten away with and he’s still so dang cocky.
I’m not putting any stock in any Congressional inquiry given that Rethugs control Congress. The only real investigation is the one conducted by Mueller.
“He’s OUR asshole”, said one of them.
SURE, they’ll investigate fully and objectively.
/sarcasm
Thread.
I understand what Michelle is saying. Malia and Sasha didn’t ask for the 24/7 spotlight.

My gawd, she is FIERCE. She does not suffer fools.
Thank you, California, for sending her to the U.S. Senate!
You’re welcome!!
Number one, they really hate Obama. Number two, they don’t care about those millions who will lose their health insurance. How disgraceful.
Let me correct my comment, Number one, they rally hate President Obama.
This is the law of the land. There is money funded for this….TTIME TO FUCKING SUE!
This is hatred of the American people who need healthcare. It’s sabotage to hurt ordinary Americans. It’s disgusting.
That’s okay. Let them go. Dr. King faced his extreme opposition in his time and yet he prevailed. Good on Bernice for reminding her followers of this uncomfortable fact.
Reflection is Not enough, but FB helped out France, Germany, etc. Now, let us hope that they will find better methods to stop Russia or any other Foe from messing up with Democracies around the Globe.
Admitting Mistakes, is 1st step.
“More people had a voice” It’s just the WRONG people also had a voice in our elections. To knowingly accept Russian Ads and Russian money against one candidate over another is WRONG!
Cool!!
Thanks Obama! Hearing PBO totally nailing it is the perfect medicine and good for what ails ye.
No one with an ounce of sense believes that President Obama created Trump. That dog don’t hunt.
He warned us. Not enough listened. So this is where we are.
Yup. Both of them did. Multiple times. Only folks who understood the upcoming shitstorm were black women. All the rest failed utterly.
These muthaphuckas here!
Taking away health care by stealth – can’t legislate so steal – the GOP through and through
Will never understand why anyone votes for them
Look at that sweet look on his sweet face.
Oh … uh … excuse me. Got lost for a while – Ha!
Ripples beget more ripples. Our PBO community organizing the world, making lives better and inspiring others to serve.
What a great article, thanks JER:
Quote from PBO in the article:
“My years at Occidental College sparked my interest in social and political causes, and filled me with the idea that my voice could make a difference,â Obama said in a statement.
âThatâs why Iâm so humbled by the Barack Obama Scholars Program at Oxy, and proud of its mission to identify promising young people from all backgrounds â with an emphasis on first-generation students, our veterans, and community college transfers â not only to give them access to higher education, but to train the next generation of leaders and active citizens, and fill them with the conviction that they too can change the world.â
Well now, so GOP & MSM were salivating in calling every event “this is surely PBO’s Katrina!” Now, these arses are silent in naming PR as Dotard’s/GOP’s Katrina. No need to wonder why. Effers. đĄ
Is this related to the President’s Cup golf tournament?
GM CEB.
I didn’t see JER’s post here before posting a tweet of my own downthread — my tweet has a link to AP article describing the event, but I don’t know what time it will happen. đŚ
GE TODville.
FUBAR really does suck all the oxygen out of the news media.
Saw this on Microsoft Windows 10 news feed, but only found a single tweet confirming the AP article (FUBAR will attend event on Sunday):
Sorry, I forgot that the RT’d tweet doesn’t show here.
PBO will attend the opening ceremony for PGA’s presidents cup golf tournament with WJC and GWB tomorrow (have no idea when golf tournament opening ceremonies occur), so heads up…
So now that Bannon’s out of the WH, looks like Stephen Miller is in charge of US policy: đŚ
Earlier today:
prolly some guy named chad at his prep school– banned the country in case chad is from there
Enough with the RW bullshit about disrespecting the anthem.
Tell the Duck Dynasty jerk to take the flag off his sweaty redneck head.
Tell Nugent and Kid Rock to stop wearing it as a shirt.
Tell the Palin idiot to stop wrapping herself in it.
There is no law requiring anyone except the military to salute or stand for the anthem.
Any time a RWer opens their mouth about the anthem or the flag, they’re signaling that they’re ignoring Kaepernick’s stated reason for his peaceful protest, because they don’t want to deal with or acknowledge the issue of racial inequality.
facebook, twitter, google, nyt – all murkan icons manipulated by some low paid russian hackers into making murkans willingly ruin their own country. wonder who is the smart one here.
And the longer version…:
Thank you, Mr. Wright. Trump is a fascist so it’s no wonder he wants to stop peaceful Black protesters from expressing themselves. Unfortunately for him, NFL owners aren’t playing along with his fascism.
One of the great names in publishing died last night, may his work continue to inspire us all.
GM Don.
Hugh Hefner had an enormous influence on US popular culture, opinion and thought in the 1960s and 1970s (while attending UCLA I briefly worked as a parttime switchboard operator at the Playboy Club).
Feels like the “Golden Age” of Hollywood (with luminaries such as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe) is now officially closed, outside the living memory for nearly all Americans.
This was posted one day before Maria’s landfall in Puerto Rico, but shows Hef supported the country’s living Presidents (don’t consider FUBAR legitimate, and avoid as much as I can using the word “president” in the same sentence with FUBAR).
For young’uns who don’t remember the 1970s, here’s a good recap of Hef’s influence on American style:
GM TODville.
If it weren’t for our awful MSM, who have lowered the bar of decency and leadership to the lowest basement floor, Trumpaloons would realize that FUBAR is the opposite of a “decisive leader.” FUBAR is all bark and no bite, a “leader” who caves to pressure after listening to white supremacists and plutocrats first.
BTW, PBO will be making a public appearance today, alongside WJC and GWB. (See upthread on my tweet with link to AP article, posted just after JER’s tweet from @JasonSobelESPN confirming their joint appearance).
In case anyone is still tracking this thread & in remembrance of Hefner (and Dick Gregory), hereâs a piece on the Freedom Summer 3. Hefner put up the reward money Gregory used to get the tip where they were buried:

Trump invents hospitalized senator to explain latest failure
09/28/17 08:00 AMâUPDATED 09/28/17 08:08 AM
By Steve Benen
Yesterday morning, Donald Trump was so eager to explain away the demise of his partyâs health care gambit, he unveiled a new excuse: one of the Senate Republicans prepared to vote for the repeal measure was in the hospital.
A few hours later on the White House South Lawn, the president elaborated on this point:
………………….
Not to put too fine a point on this, but four ânoâ votes plus one âyesâ is still ⌠four ânoâ votes.
They lie 100% of the time. That’s all anyone needs to know.
Someone needs to ask DOTARD and his staff who habitually lie if they KNOW HOW to tell the truth?
I have the Les Miserable 10th Anniversary Concert that I downloaded from youtube…been playing it all week.
Damn, I love this musical.
The 1998 version of Les Miserables is my favorite by far. Geoffrey Rush as Javert was both powerful and sad, it was probably Rushâs greatest performance.
He’s been out for a long time for heart surgery.
