Emily Heil: Barack Obama And Charleston’s Bill Murray Golf Together Again In Va.
Hey, isn’t that … former president Barack Obama and comedian Bill Murray, hitting the links together at Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, Va., on Tuesday? The “Caddyshack” star and Charleston resident was in Washington for the Sunday-night Mark Twain awards at the Kennedy Center honoring fellow funnyman Dave Letterman, and apparently found time during his visit to reunite with an old golfing buddy. Obama and Murray famously practiced putting in the Oval Office in a video the White House released in December urging people to sign up for health insurance.
For almost a year, Kris Kobach, the secretary of state of Kansas, has struggled to hide the truth about his efforts to lobby the Trump administration to make it much harder for Americans to vote. Part of that struggle ended today when a federal court ordered excerpts of Kris Kobach’s testimony disclosed along with other documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union in our challenge to his restrictive voter registration regime.
The unsealed materials confirm what many have suspected: Kobach has a ready-made plan to gut core voting rights protections enshrined in federal law. And he has been covertly lobbying Trump’s team and other officials from day one to sell them the falsehood that noncitizens are swinging elections.
Thank you, Houston Texans owner Bob McNair, for accidentally framing the NFL kneeling controversy in accurate terms: racist white guys don't think black employees should have rights because they're black.
Two weeks before the election, Parscale joined the GA-06 campaign of Karen Handel. That’s when her poll numbers suddenly changed from 7 points down to within 2 points to even to 2 points ahead. I believe this is one of the special elections the FBI is investigating. I hope Rep Jon Ossoff will be able to assume his House by the end of 2017. Trump is now trying to distance himself from Cambridge Analytics even though the are still involved in GOP federal and state election campaigns as Parscale Strategy Consulting
If you need to avoid being alone with women to treat them with dignity and not violate their rights, no rule will make you a decent man. https://t.co/rXD5cgQ6vG
The final segment of the 11th hr w/ Brian Williams was of a sexual predator surrounded by a group of children in Halloween costumes in the Oval Office. Last week, their parents were reporting their outrage about women being sexually harassed and assaulted by powerful men. @msnbc
It’s not a circle jerk I think. I think they just want to be careful about what comes out and how it comes out. I think they don’t want to make a mess of things.
Sorry to be posting in the middle of the night (again), but have a busy morning, and probably won’t have a chance to visit here until Saturday afternoon (or evening on the east coast).
Lots of speculation on who will be indicted by Mueller’s Grand Jury — replies to this tweet are pretty amusing:
probably not a good sign when it’s not immediately obvious which one of ‘em got indicted
The key may be in the sudden resignation of Dana Boente…
Apparently Dana Boente, the U.S. Attorney who announced his resignation today, was not planning to resign. His office helped with Clinton and Trump probes. Hmmm… https://t.co/91gmqBKU56
Another con and rip-off. Meanwhile Elon Musk installed solar panels on a PR hospital that is now up and running with full power. There are also reports coming out of PR that more people are being helped by churches, union volunteers and others than the are by FEMA.
Does anyone else feel like you’ve been holding your breath for a year? I’m beginning to hope that after Monday I can exhale a little bit. My dream is and has been for a while, that on the first anniversary of rump’s fraudulent election, charges will be filed against him, or, in my wildest dream, FBI agents will march into the White House and put handcuffs on him and march him out. I know the second one is unrealistic, but I like the timing of the first half. We know these revelations will not be the last from the investigation. I have been amazed at the lack of leaks from the investigation. Mueller hired top notch people, obviously.
Oh…..sorry not to have greeted all of you first. Good October morning. This year October has been outstandingly beautiful in my neck of the woods.
We share the dream. Meanwhile we have the reality that this news of an upcoming indictment comes at the time of the Comey letter that helped to trash HRC’s chances to be potus.
A few words on directors + actors. A sacred bond that should never be violated with harassment, harmful manipulation and emotional violence. https://t.co/ZK2IxiETFA
Good Morning TOD, what a beautiful day. There’s a crisp nip in the air, and all across D.C. asses are both twitching and puckering. The proud and the arrogant are sitting on the side of the bed and wondering where did it all go wrong.
I am holding low to 0 expectations with the news of a coming indictment and its impact on what we are suffering through, but I am happy imagining the scene you have described. A lot of people have had their weekends ruined.
All of the Trump conspirators have one thing in common, and that is they are all business men. They aren’t your typical Lindsey Graham or Paul Ryan type politician. Trump’s people are crooks and thieves and scammers, this is not to say that Graham and Ryan aren’t reprehensible. I’m just saying that with Trump’s people, trying to make money is their only goal in life. They don’t give a fuck about nothing else but making money.
The Russian Diplomat WAS AT THE RNC Convention! ALL Trump campaign advisors met with him! Name one Russian AT the Democratic Convention! Since they weren’t invited to the DNC Convention I guess they picked to help Trump win, huh Chris? Can’t wait to hear from the women you sexually harassed!
In the meantime, Betty Shelby, who shot an unarmed black man in the back, is having her manslaughter charge expunged from her record so she can get another badge and gun.
The police can earn respect when they stop protecting and exonerating their bad apples.
Watch. SHE is amazing, HE is a pathetic moron who has no business being in charge of ANYTHING, much less refugees and their personal decisions. This is who dickhead thought was a fine choice.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal schooled this trump appointee & all she did was ask simple yes/no questions. SAD.pic.twitter.com/DzymV4lyi5
Black and Brown members of congress, especially the women, are the only ones really standing up to the unprincipled, incompetent, lying mofos from 45’s swamp. It will be the ultimate karmic irony if they are the ones who will finally bring all of them down.
So thankful that they are doing this. In the absence of leadership we must all do what we can to lessen the impact of this sad fact wherever we are in whatever way we can.
Fact-based media must not flinch from accurately describing the deep rot of bad faith & up-is-down agitprop/Big Lie campaign now underway: https://t.co/9C04FTzejt
Yep. This is what they’re afraid of … “Organizers of the White Lives Matter rallies have said they aimed at protesting refugee resettlement and immigration to Middle Tennessee, specifically noting the presence of Somali and Sudanese people in the region.”
Not One Penny
in Tax Cuts for Millionaires, Billionaires, and Wealthy Corporations
In late September, Donald Trump released a tax plan that would give away massive tax cuts to the rich, including over one billion dollars in tax cuts for Trump himself. The last thing we need is for the tax code to be even more rigged in favor of millionaires, billionaires, and corporate insiders. Instead, we need to fight for a tax code that makes the economy work better for working families. Even more tax breaks for the super rich will undermine our commitment to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid, and make it impossible to invest in the middle class.
Add Jimmy Carter, he TOO had zero criminal indictments, zero criminal convictions, and zero Prison sentences. Real men of faith to God, Country, and Family normally do not. Carter’s closest scandal was Bert Lance was accused of financial misdeeds prior to his time in the Carter Administration that he resigned but was cleared of all charges. IF ONLY the Dems in the controlled house and senate supported Jimmy Carter we would NOT be in this mess today.
The journalists who spent last week pretending to believe Republicans who pretended to care about this should be (but aren’t) ashamed. https://t.co/75p7ZYF0Bi

Unsealed Documents Show That Kris Kobach Is Dead Set on Suppressing the Right to Vote

Has been his life’s mission. Especially POC. The mastermind behind Arizona’s SB 1070. There is a special place in hell for him.
LOL… that is so damn hilarious! His humor has always been so awesome 🙂 🙂
THAT’S RIGHT AND THEN SOME..
Well I guess it couldn’t be any clearer we’ve got a Russian agent in charge of US govt.

Not happening. All of you will meet up with the consequences of your cheating, fraudulent, treasonous ways. FU, all.
Cheaters, traitors, grifters, scumbags
Yep all of that, Judith.
Another wonderful post! Thanks Nerdywonka for everything 😘
Important read. For many reasons.

Hopefully mine will be on it’s way soon.
There is a whole russo-amercian cabal behind the turd’s stealing the election.

****Breaking News from CNN
First Charges Filed in Mueller Investigation
I WOULDN’T PUT THIS OUT THERE..TOO MANY CRACKPOTS RUNNING AROUND….
hoping mueller is as competent and non-corrupt as he has been painted to be.
PERFECT…….
😄
corruption to the core. us indians are shocked. not.
unless it’s the big stinking rotten fish itself, the emmessem will cover up.
horrible critters abound at the top of the entertainment and news media heap of garbage.
But here’s the thing as Monk would say
⚡️💥🔥
Thank you Jer – the comparison is just so awful
I miss President Obama – every single day
Instead of a party, the scared-looking children of WH press are forced to visit the pervy potus in his office for a sad looking photo op.
did teann jump the shark on the mueller indictment? no other news orgs are reporting it.
Reuters and MSNBC have it. All very short articles referencing CNN.
so, it’s a circle jerk then?
It’s not a circle jerk I think. I think they just want to be careful about what comes out and how it comes out. I think they don’t want to make a mess of things.
This should be a constant reminder on social media.
Q – will mueller announce publicly if there is indeed an indictment? Or will that too be secret?
I don’t think Mueller will announce it. I think a statement will be released.
LOL.
Goodnight TOD …

Quite the lovely vision you painted for us, Don:) Thank you! Belated birthday gift:)
I am holding low to 0 expectations with the news of a coming indictment and its impact on what we are suffering through, but I am happy imagining the scene you have described. A lot of people have had their weekends ruined.
Go Venus. Reaches WTA finals with 2-1 win over garcia.
Woooot!
Go, Venus!
the worst possible assemblage of corrupt and treasonous scums ever.

Do they even HEAR themselves??
RJ, Trump supporters will believe every word.
Its a hell of a feeling to sit around the house on the weekend and wonder if you’re going to get indicted on Monday.
I know one person that’s happy that everyone is talking about the coming indictments, and that would be Mark Halperin.
some great editing here. watch the end.
Good start! I have visions of WAY MORE people going to the slammer for a long, long, long time. Definitely put a smile on my face
The Russian Diplomat WAS AT THE RNC Convention! ALL Trump campaign advisors met with him! Name one Russian AT the Democratic Convention! Since they weren’t invited to the DNC Convention I guess they picked to help Trump win, huh Chris? Can’t wait to hear from the women you sexually harassed!
Show respect, DJjr. Join the military and stop using the children.
I sent your well wishes to that scum.
Fuck off, Junior.
In the meantime, Betty Shelby, who shot an unarmed black man in the back, is having her manslaughter charge expunged from her record so she can get another badge and gun.

Awful!

COOL
So thankful that they are doing this. In the absence of leadership we must all do what we can to lessen the impact of this sad fact wherever we are in whatever way we can.
Another Nazi rally today. This one iniTennessee.
Protesting refugee resettlement to TN?? Can you detest these hateful people any more?
Yep. This is what they’re afraid of … “Organizers of the White Lives Matter rallies have said they aimed at protesting refugee resettlement and immigration to Middle Tennessee, specifically noting the presence of Somali and Sudanese people in the region.”
Thanks, trump.
Hope we have many more “good days”
