Happy Thanksgiving to everyone at TOD! I wrote a long post this morning that disappeared into the netherworld, so I’ll just say I hope everyone here has a blessed day with family and friends. Nerdy Wonka, a very special thanks to you for maintaining this isle of sanity when the rest of the country seems to be insane!
Thanks Nerdy for keeping this place a safe and welcome haven, no matter how long we are gone, when we just lurk or comment. Ms. Chips, thank you forever and ever. Miss you bunches. TODers, you are the best. You are funny, serious, engaging, knowledgeable, kind, understanding and caring. Thank you. Hope everyone spends this day safe and well. Always and always.
I am here in Miami experiencing my first Thanksgiving on the US main land. I always view on tv the congested Thanksgiving Eve traffic in the USA. Yesterday we experienced it up close. What a time! But we are thrilled to be in the US for this occasion.

Apologies for being so late with my wish – I blinked a couple of times and the day disappeared before I could sign on. 😦
Sure hope everyone celebrating has had (is having) a harmonious 2017 Thanksgiving, enjoying good family &/ friendly interactions.
Blessings to all TODobots & friends as we live through these perilous times while working, and longing, for better days!
Goodnight, TODville. Hope everyone had a grand day!

This Thanksgiving there appears to be a War on Education The Tax Bill would: 1—Kill the tax break for student loans, 2—Vastly increase taxes on graduate students, 3—Tax employer tuition assistance, 4—Tax college endowments 5—End Lifelong Learning Credithttps://t.co/cNQNvR4zvG
Add this to your comments when you call your Senators this weekend (week). Not acceptable! They forgot the removal of the $250 teacher deduction for buying their own classroom supplies….
I negotiated a cooperation deal for a target with Mueller's office when he was US Atty and lemme tell ya, he's not gonna give one to Flynn unless he implicates someone up the ladder. That means Kushner, Don Jr., or Big Daddy. They are all having indigestion tonight. https://t.co/8SNzelLuBp
If you're dead to rights, flipping on others and cooperating with the prosecution is the only sane and rational move. Also, prosecutors accept cooperation only if you can provide "substantial assistance." Higher up in the food chain. Stay tuned… https://t.co/ZtAxKGx8Wi
My thoughts go out to the families and friends of these brave sailors. My heart aches for them. As the wife of a retired submariner myself, I can’t imagine the grief they must all feel. They will never retrieve their loved ones. This is the scenario that we all dread if you are a sailor or a loved one of someone in the silent service. RIP.

In this exclusive excerpt from his searingly emotional new memoir, Promise Me, Dad, the former Vice President recounts his last Thanksgiving with late son Beau.
“I kept seeing the little “Forever Wild” house, undermined by the powerful indifference of nature and the inevitability of time, no longer able to hold its ground; I could almost hear the sharp crack as its moorings failed, could envision the tide washing in and out, pulling at it relentlessly and remorselessly until it was adrift on the water, then swallowed up by the sea.”
Joe has a way with words, so beautiful and so sad.
Thank you! I will:) I LOVE Thanksgiving…I love cooking this meal and sharing it all with my family…so good. Was the day that we could all be together, which is why MY Thanksgiving is today.
Strange how the media never tired of repeating Trump's baseless charges against Hillary, but seldom ever reports about the ongoing suffering in Puerto Rico, children going w/o care b/c Congress can't be bothered to renew CHIP, or the grossly excessive time Trump spends golfing.
The Trumppacked court system is poised to turn the federal judiciary from a bastion of protection of everyone’s rights into an extension of the Bannon agenda. Call every Senate office you can! https://t.co/DgX90F8RxS
37 of 38 economists said the GOP tax plans would grow the debt. The 38th misread the question.
That’s not a joke: the 38th economist literally said after the survey’s release he just misread the question & that it would definitely increase the debt.https://t.co/swJdAttb4g
I think Tiger still lives in Florida … maybe before a couple of years ago, he also golfed in cheato’s area. Or trump sucked him in somehow, to play with him today. Ugh.
I think this is yet another way to get back at PBO by showing him that he can golf with Tiger also. There is an evil motive in everything done by this sexual predator in the White House.
The ONLY way that Tiger can redeem himself, in my eyes, is to Tweet that PBO was a MUCH better golfer than Cheato:) Then, I will be ok….until then, WTF ARE YOU THINKING, TIGER???!!!!
Important note via @SRuhle on Trump’s golf outing with Tiger Woods today: Woods is designing a Trump-branded golf course as part of a larger development in Dubai. https://t.co/uFwvv2r60x
Tiger Woods also golfed with the #Dotard in Dec of 2016.
There was a story some days ago saying that Tiger was designing a Golf Course in Dubai for the Dotard.
I don’t why. Tiger knows better. But whatever.

1/ Good morning, everyone. Throughout the weekend, I will fill in this thread about Mike Flynn, how federal plea agreements generally work, and what it means within the context of the #TrumpRussia investigation.
Its too bad that Trump doesn’t believe in science or global warning because if he did he’d know that a category 5 hurricane combined with a typhoon wrapped around a tsunami is headed his way and it goes by the name Mueller.
Hope you and your son Steve (whom I hope is well since I’ve not been up-to-date for quite some time) and entire family are having a wonderful Thanksgiving
Bob – Thanks so much for asking about Steve, as always – he’s got a few challenges but is getting through all of them and never gives up! Hope you and your family are having a great Thanksgiving weekend – and that you are taking a break, every now and then. 🙂
Morning everyone. I was flipping channels last night and CSPAN was showing Michelle Obama in PA at the Women’s Conference. She was divine. She’s like us:)

2017 OECD Study Just Released: US has LOWEST tax burden of all G-7 nations. GOP notion that lowering our net tax burden is key to our competitiveness — as opposed to investing more in infrastructure, skills, children and our most hard pressed families — is w/o foundation. https://t.co/1Zv9deD3hv
Good Morning Family! I hope everyone has had a lovely Thanksgiving! Thank you Nerdy Wonks for keeping the lights on here in the village.!Thank you Chips. Miss you. love you!

Hey everyone, here is the @TIME 's person of the year poll (It's about halfway down). Due to Trump's dog whistle, of course his followers now know of the poll. Go vote for your favorite if you don't want him to win. You get to vote on everyone. Yes or No. https://t.co/T8hnAli0MS

Yes, he does. Haunting, really. You feel them deep in your bones. Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful….I’m having mine today
It was good actually, enjoy yours.

According to Kyle Griffin , cheato is golfing with Tiger Woods now. Really, Tiger?
I think Tiger still lives in Florida … maybe before a couple of years ago, he also golfed in cheato’s area. Or trump sucked him in somehow, to play with him today. Ugh.
I think this is yet another way to get back at PBO by showing him that he can golf with Tiger also. There is an evil motive in everything done by this sexual predator in the White House.
I’m feeling the same way, Tiger is my favorite athlete.
Maybe not so much anymore, eh?
According to Kyle Griffin, according to 45 tweet????
I saw that too, desertflower and went, UGH!!!
The ONLY way that Tiger can redeem himself, in my eyes, is to Tweet that PBO was a MUCH better golfer than Cheato:) Then, I will be ok….until then, WTF ARE YOU THINKING, TIGER???!!!!

i took the time poll…i wanted to add President Obama to the list…but there was not a space to add folks
Had that same hope – that he’d be on the list!
because he many not be in office ..but he is indeed still having an impact…not just on the US but the world!
