JUST IN: At 1:30 p.m. CT, attorney Gloria Allred and another Alabama woman who alleges Roy Moore sexually assaulted her when she was a minor will hold a press conference. You can watch live at https://t.co/f2wHAEuZdX and on our free CBS 42 News app.
Speaking of recipes, you know how when you go to YouTube there are always all those suggested videos on the side column. I was watching a video with Michelle and happened to see this. Just a happy Obama moment for us to enjoy today.
I think I missed some, too. It was such a difficult time saying goodbye.
And especially for you, Dudette. SO glad you are back with us, stronger than ever.
I swear I’m going to get banned from the staff cafeteria at work. Every goddamn time when I go in there to eat lunch the t.v. is on fox news. And every goddamn time I switch the fucking channel I get these looks which I really don’t give a fuck about. I don’t walk around work being a bully or anything like that, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to watch a channel that cheers on an Administration that fucks over its citizens.
My hero. Good for you! Why should you, or anyone else, be force fed lies? It’s not news, it’s propaganda. The sooner they figure that out, the better. You are helping to that end. Do they realize that people that watch FOX are more ignorant than everyone else?
I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the people I work with aren’t millionaires or billionaires and don’t have a trust set up. We are just hard working people that try put food on the table, now I will admit that we are paid well. But still, if I’m doing well and my neighbor is facing foreclosure because they lost their job or they got sick and are facing financial ruin. Why would I sit and watch a channel that doesn’t have our best interest in mind? It floors me how people can be so goddamn gullible.
The #TrumpTaxScam: 1. Cut taxes for the wealthy & corps 2. Claim $1.5T deficit increase isn't real 3. Pass bill 4. Claim $1.5T deficit increase is very real 5. Cut Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, etc.
The lies involved in this entire mess – mind-boggling
(THREAD) News that Trump offered Papadopoulos a "blank check" to choose any administration job he wanted after the election, coupled with reports Papadopoulos lied to the FBI a few weeks later "out of loyalty to Trump," suggests the possibility of new Obstruction charges—read on. pic.twitter.com/ZSpYb4ocvh
When the truth is finally known – and it will be – we are going to learn what a thug and a lowly criminal Trump truly is. We saw it in his real estate dealings over the decades but now he’s screwed with the wrong people. Lots of blank checks and an extraordinary abuse of power. But because of the GOP’s race-baiting and misogyny, they will not likely pay any long-lasting blowback. People forget Nixon and W’s lies for war. But, I guess we’ll see…..
Our institutions have survived a great many attacks and mishaps and in the end they have grown stronger. When Trump finally goes down, which I think is going to happen. Our institutions will grow that much stronger, Trump’s rein will only last for a season.
You are going to want to read this thread. The web of lies and deceit has ensnared Trump in both obstruction of justice and witness tampering. https://t.co/tS87eskoKN
This is the only gathering where I can be assured that the world has not gone completely mad. Thank you TOD for keeping on; you are needed more than ever.
Parliament will get a vote on the final Brexit deal before the UK leaves the EU, minister David Davis has told MPs.
He said the terms of the UK’s exit, including any transition deal and agreement on citizen rights, would have to become law via new legislation.
And he said MPs would have the opportunity to reject or amend such legislation, saying “the agreement will only hold if Parliament approves it”.
Labour welcomed what it said was a “significant climbdown”.
The BBC’s political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the announcement was significant because it represented a big concession to potential Tory rebels and Labour MPs at a highly important moment in the Brexit process.
It comes as MPs prepare to debate key Brexit legislation later this week with the government facing possible defeat on aspects of the EU Withdrawal Bill, which will convert EU law into UK law.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he believes the allegations against Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore and that Moore should leave the race.
“I believe the women, yes,” McConnell told reporters in Kentucky.
McConnell, the Senate’s top Republican and a frequent target of Moore on the campaign trail, said, “I think he should step aside.”
————–
And that ladies and gentlemen, is a shiv. Quick, short and sweet, and well executed. Moore didn’t even see it coming, he was walking to lunch plotting his next move and McConnell did what he had to do.
How much do you want to bet, McTurtle backs off of this before the day is over or tomorrow morning once the Twitler/Bannon crew goes after him. I wonder what Hannity will get his followers to say once he now has gone out on a limb for the GOPedophile.
With McConnell anything and everything is on the table, he can turn around and praise Moore tomorrow but today he kneecapped Moore. To be truthful I hope Bannon stays in the spotlight, he is a Democrat’s wet dream in that they can make a commercial out of this guy drinking a cup of coffee.
Not just a WH lawyer — he's married to Ann Donaldson, chief of staff to WH counsel Don McGahn, who oversees Trump's judicial nominations. https://t.co/sBsnJFEq6U
Please please please don't praise Mitch McConnell for having the "courage" to admit that molesting a child is wrong. Let's raise the bar of basic human decency a little higher, people. https://t.co/IKGCmP4lFB
BREAKING: Senate leader Mitch McConnell says he believes women who have accused Roy Moore of inappropriate sexual contact, says Moore "should step aside."
We Dems need to get buses down to Alabama now to knock on doors for @GDouglasJones. This is a winnable seat & policy game changer. Let’s organize this.— Debbie Mangeri (@DebbieMangeri) November 10, 2017

I sit on the House Judiciary Committee and Lyin' Jeff Sessions will testify under oath this Tuesday morning. Retweet if you think he is going to commit perjury, again.
The person who should step aside is @SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell. He has failed conservatives and must be replaced. #DrainTheSwamp— Judge Roy Moore (@MooreSenate) November 13, 2017
Now that Roy Moore has been credibly accused of child molestation, the vast majority of Alabama evangelists say they are MORE likely to vote for him or don’t care. The right wing evangelical movement is dead. It has NO place discussing morality. One step from Satan worshippers.
In the words of the swat team member in the helicopter that witnesses California shot Kevin Spacey’s character in the head after finding out that Kevin Spacey’s character has cut off California’s wife’s head and put it in a box, “Somebody call somebody!”
Elaine Duke had been retired for several years from a three-decade federal government career when she got a call last winter to come back to Washington D.C.
After Donald Trump’s surprise presidential win, the campaign-turned-transition team was scrambling to find experts. Duke, 58, had years of experience at the departments of Defense and Homeland Security, and an added appeal—unlike many experienced senior Republicans in the sector, she wasn’t a vocal “Never Trumper.”
Appointed by George W. Bush to “undersecretary of management” at the Department of Homeland Security in 2008, essentially giving her oversight of the DHS’s over 200,000 employees and $47 billion budget, Duke had stayed on under Barack Obama for two years before retiring. Former colleagues described her to Quartz as the rare apolitical presidential appointee, focused on the agency’s mission and employees because she, too, had been a “line worker” for years.
Now Duke appears to be caught in a high-profile battle she never could have anticipated. As acting head of the DHS, Duke currently stands in the way of the Trump White House’s alleged push to deport nearly 450,000 people who live and work legally in the US, and hail from nations torn by natural disaster and war. They’re part of the US’s “safe haven” Temporary Protected Status, or TPS program, which was started in 1990.
One former colleague described Duke to Quartz as “a very soft spoken, modest person who drives a Prius.” Another added, “For the life of me, I don’t know why she decided to leave her nice life” to go back into government. “Why would you do this unless you thought this was somewhere you could help?” he said.
[…]
It’s unclear what Duke’s thought process was. Her former colleagues describe her as someone who is principled in her decision making, and who prizes legal, fair decisions.
But after being pressured by White House officials on the TPS program, Duke has pledged to resign after a new head is named to fill the job she’s doing now, former colleagues told Quartz and the Washington Post. In the Friday night statement, Duke said ” I have no plans to go anywhere and reports to the contrary are untrue.”
The possibility that Duke may leave, however, has alarmed Congressional Democrats, who now want to subject Nielsen to additional scrutiny.
“Given the possibility, based on news reports, that the Department’s Senate-confirmed Deputy Secretary may soon resign, Committee members should be given a chance to revisit Ms. Nielsen’s management qualifications in a formal hearing setting,” five Senate Democrats wrote(paywall) in a letter to the heads of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
You didn't let that stop you from asking those same superdelegates to overturn the will of Democratic primary voters. Man get this clown out of here. https://t.co/Rs7nV7r0k8
but look how Politico…puts those words in lights…invoking the vibe that the DEM Party is corrupt…this attack on the DEM Party from the So-Called is shameless…but we see you!

I have now read Mr. Moore’s statement and listened to his radio interview in which he denies the charges. I did not find his denials to be convincing and believe that he should withdraw from the Senate race in Alabama.
I stand with the Majority Leader on this. These are serious and disturbing accusations, and while the decision is now in the hands of the people of Alabama, I believe Luther Strange is an excellent alternative. https://t.co/L7IallXhBc
Time for all these so called pastors, ( of what), and their churches to start paying taxes if they are actually political operatives. Evangelicals means to me unchristian.

Congratulations, DF! John Lewis is a national treasure. His voice carries the weight of deep wisdom and hard experience
Recipe for success:
Speaking of recipes, you know how when you go to YouTube there are always all those suggested videos on the side column. I was watching a video with Michelle and happened to see this. Just a happy Obama moment for us to enjoy today.
Just lovely! Thank you for that meta! I missed so many of the Obama good-byes and retrospectives when I was laid up. Love seeing them here. ❤️
I think I missed some, too. It was such a difficult time saying goodbye.
And especially for you, Dudette. SO glad you are back with us, stronger than ever.
Bless you, Friend! 🙏🏾
it is like finding Treasure…thanks for bringing it to us…smilin
Yep, that looks like a recipe from the Barack Obama grassroots playbook.

Bravo Don! You are making the world a better place even with this small gesture. Well done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
YASSSSSSSS! Who can stomach that BS trash, especially over lunch. PRESS ON.
This is how they do it
The lies involved in this entire mess – mind-boggling
Of course he offered Papa a “black check,” just like he’s given cabinet post to the most unqualified group of people you will ever meet.
When the truth is finally known – and it will be – we are going to learn what a thug and a lowly criminal Trump truly is.

there goes the excuse for calling the rethugs sheep.
Yes, they like sheep.
I mean they are like sheep in that they will do whatever you tell them to do.
LOL!
the base is teh stupid, jake.
This is the equivalent of a book burning.
Right on.
If I didn’t already have a Keurig machine, I would run out and buy one. I hope other folks are doing the same.
I won one as a Christmas gift last year, my wife loves it.

How many Hail Mary one must say before this one disappears???
but look how Politico…puts those words in lights…invoking the vibe that the DEM Party is corrupt…this attack on the DEM Party from the So-Called is shameless…but we see you!
When Sanders change his party to Democratic, maybe we will listen to him. He has a lot of nerve trying to lead the Democratic party.
Folks, I must say how happy I am that the Roy Moore pedophilia story has erased the coverage of Dana Dem destruction tour.
Alas, joining the party.
Luther Strange, hmmmmmm, what’s that Trump’s guy in the beginning? Maybe Trump’s people put the kabash on Moore just to put Strange in place.
count on it. But remember, too late to change the ballot 🙂
Mrs. Flower, this is Alabama, they go by whatever they can get away with.
Strange is just almost as bad as Moore without the pedophilia; his hands are quite dirty also.
Time for Alabama to secede.
No just yet. Check this out. They must be the same pastors that stood by the Dotard after the “grab them by the P-word” tape.
I need to start me a church and run down to Alabama, I’ll be a black conservative pastor. And make a million bucks fleecing these fools.
Time for all these so called pastors, ( of what), and their churches to start paying taxes if they are actually political operatives. Evangelicals means to me unchristian.

There’s a story there.
Go on WaPo…get the story on why Judge Pedophile ran all the way to Australia.
How many more former virgin teenagers should come up front to decry the pedophile Roy Moore before He drops out?
Sure, no problem, after Sessions serves his time for perjury he can get out and run for Senate.
Oh, brother!
My god, the battle for America’s soul will be waged in Alabama.
… and we thought we were done with that!
Moore is a violent criminal who belongs in JAIL.
Anyone else’s candidacy would sink with that.
