OMG, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. The people will rejoice and Trump will go nuts.
PLEASE!
NOT FAR ENOUGH..IS THERE A HOLE IN HELL TO PERMANENCE?
THIS!
OMG OMG OMG, please, please, please.
Corrupt and incompetent
Good.
Of course, she’s not actually there to do the job. She’s supposed to tank the Dept of Education so they can hand it over to privatization. I hope the lawsuits derail that fast track.
Exactly, Sandy!
Another “Obama Teaching Moment”…brought to you by, those “pesky regulations” that erred on the side of WORKERS!
Speaking of corrupt..
Good Morning, Everyone 🙂
Just putting this here….
the north korean nut will be so jealous that he doesn’t have such asskissers of gop types. pathetic.
Because Kennedy like all other Republicans are more loyal to their President and party than to their fellow Americans and this country.
He LOVES the uneducated….
This reminds me of GWB with his pile high of papers claiming to “Cut Red Tape” for filing for a mortgage and it got us the biggest collapse in the mortgage and banking industry.
Destroy the ACA and CHIP and then eliminate regulations protecting the health of your fellow Americans. Nice!! /s
Rep. Matt Gaetz, who was with Trump on Air Force One last week, says on CNN that it’s time for the special counsel to “put up or shut up.” “I call on my Republican colleagues to join me in the firing of Bob Mueller.”
MAKE PLANS TO TAKE TO THE STREETS!!….SERIOUSLY
Republicans are just trying to protect their Russian lying President. How long did they investigate Benghazi.Ten years.
Rosenstein did a great job defending Mueller so that’s not going to happen.
And I call on him and his colleagues to actually DO the work they were elected to do, not just eff around on our money, on our plane, and make stupid statements like this for the scrotus.
Will Bailey is my new fav Twitter feed:)
From the article…
New role for DNC?
Future efforts also could mean a changing role for the Democratic National Committee.
While many of the ground efforts in Alabama were spearheaded by local activists, the DNC quietly spent nearly $1 million on Jones’ Senate campaign, according to a party aide, focused largely on outreach to the African-American and faith-based communities, as well as young voters. All three groups were pivotal in ensuring the committee invested in placing influencers in key areas: Northern Alabama, the “black belt” and Jefferson County, communities with high concentrations of African-Americans.
The question to now ask our DEM State Committees….
HOW MANY BLACK WOMEN ARE IN LEADERSHIP??
MAKE IT STOP
i knowwww…..smh
Good ol’ Julia!
That’s a quote that deserves to go viral.
Poor reptiles, they never behave as badly as so-called humans
Happy Friday TODVille!
If you are in dire need of a good laugh, follow David Frum’s advise and you will be served.
For this administration, that sounds exactly right.
So true!
Good morning TOD family. This has been quite the week. Such reason to hope than more crap from the Trump Administration. These people are just evil and trying to take as much as they can take while in power.
One source that has been such a help to me is reading and listening to “The Book of Joy”. With the the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. In April of 2015 Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama’s home to celebrate. “This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their
astonishing and unprecedented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye. With Douglas Abrams. This book has really helped heal my soul. I love reading it but mostly I listen to the audible book. It is both of them speaking their own words. Hearing their voices really heals the soul. I highly recommend this for everyone.
Thank you mtmarilyn. Some days we need peace and joy in our lives. Lately since the Orange Satan entered the WH and his gang of evil GOP we need it EVERYDAY.
My Sacred Journey group of ladies decided we needed this book now and it has proven to be all we hoped it would be.
Thanks for the recommendation mtmarilyn. I will download the book today. I need this in my life right now.
I hope you get both the kindle and the audible. They are worth it. Enjoy.
Hi Marilyn,
Thanks for this post. I’m just dropping into TOD. Can only take so much cray, cray and then I must go look at nature or something. I am also reading this book and loving it. Hadn’t thought to get the audible version. Perfect, as I love to hear them both speak. Thanks for the suggestion. Hope you and you family are well. Hugs. 🙂
I so agree, cd4biden. This book has helped so much. I have loved reading and listening to their voices. It does help the soul.
THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW 12/14/17
Trump administration distinguished by high-level departures
Rachel Maddow reviews the remarkable number of high-level departures from the Donald Trump administration in its first year so far and notes at least one remaining staffer with an odd background
THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW 12/14/17
Trump’s favor for Russia a national security blind spot: WaPo
Greg Miller national security correspondent for The Washington Post, talks with Rachel Maddow about Donald Trump’s resistance to information about the threat Russia poses to U.S. national security and the ways in which Trump’s team tip-toes around his sensitivity on the issue
THE RACHEL MADDOW SHOW 12/14/17
Dissenters tempt Republican failure on tax bill
Siobhan Hughes, Capitol Hill reporter for the Wall Street Journal, talks with Rachel Maddow about the razor thin vote margin Republicans are facing to pass their tax bill and the signs of dissent that could lead to another legislative failure.
telling it like it is!
Little Rubio got what he wanted so the little idiot is voting yes on the rich tax cut bill.
Trump is a damn disgrace.
No surprise there. He’s done this before.
We are war with Russia and are losing remains my assessment – ever since the Spring of 2016 ……
Oh.
Awaiting the US “Markets” to close for the weekend ….
Heh, you probably nailed it.
🙂
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
WHAMMM!!!
did not read it all..read first few paragraphs..seems promising

“His judgment cometh and that right soon”
Shawshank Redemption
From your lips …
There is some other scumbags and card-carrying member of Team Traitor who i have noted to no longer be very active in the news or media. I am talking about the long-term personal/business lawyer of scumbag #45, Cohen. He used to be obnoxious and rude to most people. I wonder why he has been so quiet. Last I heard was when he had hired a lawyer and then was brought before one of the committees in congress
Don’t forget the oh-so-invisible Steven Miller, still lurking off camera in the west wing. I wonder if he goes on all the AF1 flights
I think he is sinister and pompous enough to never miss those flights
Instead of the exact song of the oldie but continuously aired show “Cops”, it is time to modify and play it for Team Treason: “Bad Dudes, Bad Dudes, what are going to do when Bob Mueller comes for you?”
Love it!
Now would be a good for me to get a backup to the person who currently alerts me about breaking news about Russian collusion. It seems that I may be in need for backup to the backup
From AltNPS, 1:30pmPT:
“National Alert:
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke brought David Smith the superintendent of Joshua Tree National Park to his office to reprimand him for climate change-related tweets the park sent via Twitter. Zinke didn’t reprimand him because the tweets didn’t violate National Park Service or Interior Department policies. However, Zinke made it clear to Smith that the Trump administration doesn’t want national parks to put out official communications on climate change.”
Sure hope there’s no climate change in Gitmo for this mofo to enjoy, as the life imprisonment days drip,drip, drip outside his windowless room…
I sure hope it’s an open-air tent, not a room.
Or just a chain link cage, no roof, no walls, no floor. A hole in the ground to piss in. A rock for a pillow…. shall I stop now???
You were just gettin’ started! 🙂
So happy that PBO and FLOTUS are staying in touch with kids to let them know that they still have role models, because this type of thing is lacking in this current White House.
So true, COS!
absolutely true
I also think PBO and MO get so much joy from public service, too. It’s deep in their DNA.
country’s economic interests sold out to billionaires and political interests sold out to putin.
did a heckuva job, white working class folks. you all get lumps of cancerous coal for your christmas. enjoy.
and a twitler was born.
They’re trying to get Donny to protect Little Jared by provoking him into doing something stupid to protect Baby Jary. This is proof RUSSIA is trying to shut down Mueller. (Obviously, they sill need their investment to pay off.) Every Congressional GOP who states out loud – like in the hearing this week – anything attempting to discredit Mueller – IS COMPROMISED.
every last one of them is a fucking extremist radical.
Trump is not just the racists, lying disgusting Republican, they all are. They will never impeach Trump. That’s why they have no problem supporting Trump, they would have had no problem supporting Roy Moore.
Fleecing his flock!
Truth!

Good evening TOD! Well, another depressing day in the good old United States. After seeing Corker and Collins readily follow Trump down the Briar path, I am convinced there is not a Republican in this Congress that will do anything to stop him at any point. If we do not take control of at least the House in 2018 I fear the country will not survive. The spinelessness of these legislators Is something to behold. It is clear that they will sell the country out in a heartbeat for their donors. What a sad state of affairs.
Sen. Collins need to be replaced by a Democrat.
About time I say.
yes.
JHC. Now they’re banning WORDS! Mother Russia must’ve told them to.
http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2017/12/i-have-a-list-of-replacements-for-the-cdcs-7-banned-words/
Yes, Ma’am! Which is why I always cringe when anyone talks about Republicans being “fiscally conservative”….or smart. No. They.Aren’t. Big Ass LIE
Good for this organization to start getting Mueller’s back.
Everything about the Trump/Putin coup has the GOP turning in on itself.
We know they have no scruples in attacking noble Dems like John Kerry, but only under the current perversion would they attack a fellow Republican with these credentials.
They’re chewing their own leg.
We’re dealing w/ demons working in lockstep…actual demons of greed, false words and gross egos willing to murder, burn up a
planet and end a species for short lifetime gains. You can’t just wave a magic wand. It will take super-extraordinary strategy to drill
down and excavate these sub-humans.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Miss Ella Baker is one of the unsung heroes (or is it “sheroes”) of the long struggle for Black freedom and human dignity.
💥💥💥
Woooot! Go Terry!
THIS is what I’m talking about. This needs to go viral so everyone is on to these crooks before they cast their final vote.
I’d like to see this entire “law enforcement agency” disbanded. The worst of the worst.
Nauseating. Every single day.
I ❤️ Ted Lieu!
💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
“Isn’t she lovely … isn’t she wonderful … ” ❤
Oh how I cried!
“Think I’ll take home a little Barack Obama today.” 🙂
Right??!! This is just so sweet and moving and glorious. I just can’t stop staring at it. Love that Pete is in the background signing books.
I didn’t even notice Pete!
hahahaaaa! Well, all is forgiven considering there’s that cutie pie with the sweet sweet smile on his face to distract from just about everything else. Oh, and then there’s the child, too. (LOLz, just kidding!!)
Love all three of ’em!
Booms, how is your son? I may have missed your update.
Oh, thanks for asking, darlin’. Steve’s doing fine. Has been to his primary this week, they’re doing an upper G.I. Monday to track the leak, then has two more appts. with pulmonary specialist and surgeon by the end of the year … they will probably have to re-do the 13th (but who’s counting) procedure via a bronchoscopy which fixed the tear in his chest … but not until after the holidays (he’s so glad about that part!), and there’s no more infection in his back. That was way TMI to share but I got excited – forgive me! We’re wrapping gifts and decorating today – yeehaw! His spirits are high thanks to his teenage son, who’s, well, perfect (too much?). #LifeIsGood
Oh, that’s wonderful that you are all together today and he can enjoy the holidays. I will keep him in my thoughts for future wellness, always.
Thanks. He moved back in with me (as my dear friend calls it: Mom’s Heartbreak Hotel – I joke only because it’s all good now) and his son is staying with a friend during the week because he loves the school but is here every day he has off, which is a treasure. We’re probably moving to the school district as soon as we are able to roll. Mostly our family thrives on change … good change!
That’s hilarious! Change is good!!
Having only one child who’s male, my joke always has been “I’m for the sons.” (Read:
They can speak freely, here.) But the best part of having the son and grandson here is they both LOVE to cook (unlike me). Change is very, very good. Yummy.
Mmmmmm, let’s hear it for men who cook.
ICYMI, it was the one year anniversary of Indivisible and they put out this inspiring video:
OMG. This post is so uplifting, I was accidentally whistling a little while ago. 🙂 🙂 🙂 Thanks, Nerdy and TODville!
To Chuck W tweet who said :
“The freedoms of our democracy are systematically being destroyed, all in order to placate the ego of one man.”
Chuck I get what you mean but/and this is much bigger, wider, deeper than the epitome of greed and psychopathy sitting in the WH.
So this morning’s WAPO had an article about the 7 words the CDC can no longer use : evidence-based, science-based, vulnerable, fetus, transgender, diversity and entitlement. A friend suggested we should create a sentence using all 7 words and broadcast it everywhere. So I did!
“Evidence-based and science-based knowledge shows that diversity of services, rights, etc., when it comes to those who are vulnerable, such as transgenders, or even a fetus, is more beneficial to all of society than only allowing rights to those white males who focus only on their own entitlement.”
Wish I could italicize or bold the 7 words in WordPress so they stand out in the sentence. Anyway, use it as you see fit. 😊. Love you all!
OMG! I think I got it in a tweet (which I don’t do, but you can)
Evidence-based & science-based data says diversity of rights for the vulnerable (transgender, fetus, etc) helps all, not just white men focused on own entitlement.
Could you please copy your tweet containing these words on the next blog post? I would love to share it
Close of market for 3 days, 22 Dec 2017, 1530 EST …. may be the most interesting Christmas of my 70 years ….
