Hello, TOD! Keep an eye on this twitter account today. PBO is in Toronto today (my birthplace) and I can’t be there. Waaaaaah. But I know a few of the people who are in attendance. I’ll just have to be content knowing he’s less than two hours away.
Given the rollout of the Republicans’ tax “framework” this week, there’s reason to believe the party is repeating some of its more glaring mistakes.
A familiar closed-door process
The GOP health care proposals, in both chambers, were written in secret, with a small group of like-minded partisans crafting plans behind closed doors. This made bipartisanship practically impossible, and limited the ability of those affected by the legislation to buy into the proposed reforms.
On tax policy, Republicans are doing … the exact same thing. In fact, just yesterday, Gary Cohn, the president’s top economic adviser, told reporters, “Our opening offer and our final offer are on the table.” Despite Donald Trump’s talk that the tax plan could receive bipartisan backing, Cohn, the former Goldman Sachs chief, was part of the secretive “Big Six” talks that was limited to Republicans.

Thhree brothers from the town of White Settlement, TX are accused of luring a black 18-year-old to a meet-up and shooting him to death in an attempted robbery gone wrong, said The Root on Friday.
WFAA TV reported that 23-year-old Sean Garrison, 18-year-old Tyee Garrison and 17-year-old Kyle Garrison are in custody and each being held at $20,000 bond for the murder of 18-year-old Xavier Olesko of Ft. Worth.
The brothers are expected to be arraigned on charges of capital murder in Olesko’s death, which took place on Sep. 18 when he was fatally shot in the chest in front of a residence on Tumbleweed Trail in White Settlement.
We don’t need to decide if this is right or wrong. The ram-it through KOCH/Bannon Party are gross enemies of the people. McConnell has been trying to get rid of the CBO for how long? We don’t need to wait for them to deny, chuck or jive. Media, without hesitation the answer here is No to the Fascist party.
And along these lines, this thread, which explains to white Americans (the majority of whom can trace their families’ immigration to this country back only one or generations [i.e., most white Americans’ parents or grandparents were immigrants]):

Hail to the Illegitimate Non-president. Do you know that:
EVERY LIFE IS INCONCEIVABLE! INCONCEIVABLE!!
All the money of your donors + all the trillions offshored combined couldn’t buy one life. You couldn’t create an amoeba but you can KILL it – correct? Piss off and take your pathetic entourage with you.
Imagine if Republicans spent millions to hold #GA06 just so Tom Price could fail at repealing Obamacare and then resign after a scandal. https://t.co/SBek5ib8el
Had #WeThePeople a True Genuine Congress with Checks & Balance, Living Up to their Constitutional Duties, YES. Not these corrupt #GOP in DC, their only Goal is #1PartyRule.
The sad answer is, No.
Pro-Trump propaganda garbage being forced on us by Sinclair.
Majority of local news is owned by Sinclair, a massive pro-GOP news organization forcing pro-Trump news segments to be aired nationally.
Sinclair is forcing non-Trump reporters to report on him favorably and be dictated to by the GOP fascist Idiocracy.

This happened 11 days ago?
It was in TX many yrs ago that a Grown Black man was dragged by a number of White men killing him.
Truly, Evil.
Sometimes there are no words that can express my deep sorrow and emotion about this
Premeditated murder, life without parole. Most four legged animals don’t behave like this. Why not 2 mil bond for each.
WTAF – there’s a TOWN named WHITE SETTLEMENT???? The Fuck??
TGIF
GA, TODbots!
Congrats, Amk…….Gold ⭐ Winner.
NW, Thank You!
❤ TODville Community.
Happy Birthday, JojoTheCatty
Sweet Jesus, May this come soon!
Sweet Baby Jesus! I fixed it for you Nena.
Thanks, Don 😉
Overjoyed on the Possibility.
This is the equivalent of a Bank not required to have a security system.

There are two video’s of PBO’s speech today in Toronto that have been uploaded to youtube. The video quality is not great though.
Thank you for posting this. My Friday treat!

What a great thread. I wish she would storify it. I would love to share on my Facebook. I am so tired of those so glorifying the flag and the anthem.
Thanks, Arapaho for these tweets.
So true!
Thanks VP Biden.

I said it last evening. Never a dull moment, particularly on Fridays.
So he’s resigned, but will he now be required to pay back the American people for abusing their funds/trust?
Had #WeThePeople a True Genuine Congress with Checks & Balance, Living Up to their Constitutional Duties, YES. Not these corrupt #GOP in DC, their only Goal is #1PartyRule.
The sad answer is, No.
Drat! I was so hoping the answer would be in the affirmative. There seems to be nothing/no one holding these guys accountable. SAD
BIG MEDIA PROBLEMS: I definitely read reports that said days ago that Comfort was already on its way. There were photos attached as well. All faux.
Pro-Trump propaganda garbage being forced on us by Sinclair.
Majority of local news is owned by Sinclair, a massive pro-GOP news organization forcing pro-Trump news segments to be aired nationally.

Apologies. KOCH managed to get a Trump headshot in there that wasn’t there before.
Saw a local TV report last night about Comfort and “3,000 personnel” that was obviously a lie.
All of this is cover for something else.
“Thank you @barackobama and @vp44 @drbiden44 for stopping by the wheelchair basketball preliminary…”
No, No! No, no, no, no!!! Don’t do that to my heart, please.
So glad the Biden’s and Obama’s can hang out together now that they are out of office.
JER, META,
I just died…. and came back to life. Wow, it is just too much for my heart.

When Harry met Barry! 🙂
Vests are going to be fashionable!
That’s a joke on us, right?
from press secretaries to cabinet secretaries, the twitler’s turd touch disease lives on.
Indeed.
‘Sup?
What a shame!
nope, the flying murkan willingly and deliberately put the turd on the other side. he is not an innocent victim here.
YUP
exactly.
Good evening Nerdy & TOD!!!
When our President speaks, everyone LISTENS. This man is everyone’s President. Every.Single.One.
GE HF2, long time, no talk (to each other).
Good evening, and Happy Friday arapaho415! Nice hearing from you and loving the tweets 🙂
