I look forward to Fridays when it comes to this administration for the simple reason that the weekend offers a reprieve from the corruption that this administration engages in on a daily basis. Kinda like, banks don’t get robbed on the weekend.
Good Morning TOD!
Don, you can say that again and again. What have we done to be subjected to that state of affair is beyond me?
Congrats Sir Don on First this Friday morning!
I’m very happy that you are a member of the TOD family. I truly enjoy reading your thoughts 😎✌🏾
Good West Coast morning Nerdy & TOD family.
Happy Friday 💕
I just discovered I’m blocked by Cindy McCain… now to be honest that doesn’t exactly bother me, but I’ve never tweeted her so I’m curious how I can be blocked by her.
That’s strange, probably you might have liked something that she was opposed to. Six degrees of separation or something like that. I take it as a badge of honor to be blocked by someone. It’s like my wife follows me on Facebook, but I don’t follow her, but she sends me stuff on Facebook anyway that she wants me to read. And I’m like, do I have to read it, and then I put on a big show about having to read it. And if I do read it, she gives me a test on it. Life is filled with battles that you sign up for and that you don’t sign up for. But being married for twenty years I’ve learned that sometimes surrendering is not the same as losing. I think I’ve won every argument my wife and I have had for the last couple of years. And the reason I’ve won is because I’ve surrendered, and she doesn’t like when I surrender because she likes the engagement. She’s the aggressive one and I’m the passive one, and we all know that dealing with someone that is passive and can be mentally draining.
Lol, not the explanation I was expecting, Don 🙂 🙂 Thank you !
I’m sorry sherijr, sometimes I get into these zones when I’m writing and I write and first foolish thing that pops into my head. Sometimes I write with no rhyme or reason, these thoughts I have are just dying to come out, even if they make sense or not.
lol, perfectly okay I totally enjoyed reading your thoughts 🙂 No problem.
To me surprise, I am blocked by several people that I have never tweeted.
I know, very weird. Nice to see you Symmetry 🙂
Black women of a certain age do not play and are never here for others’ bull shit. We need more like Auntie Maxine in Congress, in state houses and local offices.
ALL Democrats need to have the attitude of
Ted Lieu
or
Maxine Waters
Well that was great to hear – nice to be reminded that there are still some good folks in the US congress.
Morning NW.
Thanks so much for all you do.
Thank YOU. 😀
Allow me to add my thank you, Nerdy darlin’! We love you! ❤
Right back at ya!
Republicans line up against Justice, invite Rosenstein showdown
Rep. Eric Swalwell talks about congressional Republicans insisting on being given access to elements of the investigation into Donald Trump against the wishes of the Department of Justice.
Republicans try to push Justice over red line on Trump probe info
Matt Miller, former Department of Justice spokesman, discusses whether Republicans can coerce the DoJ to violate principle and release details of the ongoing investigation into Donald Trump, including the identity of a classified informant.
Payment revelations show Cohen at center of billion dollar deals
The Washington Post reports that money paid by AT&T to Michael Cohen was meant to help them gain approval for a multi-billion dollar merger with Time Warner.
Trump GOP unfettered in packing courts with dubious choices
Ari Melber shows how Republicans are taking full advantage of their control of Congress by trying to fill as many judicial vacancies as possible, in many cases with candidates of questionable values or experience.
Extremists and worse slip through as GOP rushes to pack courts
Sherrilyn Ifill, NAACP Legal Defense Fund president and director-counsel, talks about how the Republican rush to fill the federal judge positions, many of which they slow walked under Barack Obama, means important vetting of candidates is not taking place even where extreme ideologies are apparent.
Morning everyone. Is America woke yet?
How does a multi-billion dollar company like AT&T end up in bed with Michael Cohen covered in sleaze and god knows what else? This is AT&T we’re talking about, a conglomerate, a pillar in the world of business. How did they end up in bed with some guy that bought and sold taxi medallions in New York City? I’m almost positive that companies like AT&T employ people whose sole job it is, is to keep them from looking like fools. And I’m also positive that companies like AT&T set aside monies solely for the purposes of funding harebrained ideas that might pan out should the world turn upside down. But my question is how does AT&T not know that Michael Cohen is a fool without equal?
I’m puzzled over this, too. It’s doesn’t pass the smell test that they would do some due diligence on Cohen. It would be good to see a timeline of the pending AT&T/Time-Warner merger deal, Trump’s public remarks and their hook-up with Cohen. Maybe it will all add up.
should say, “would not do some due diligence”
Surely their diligence showed that Michael Cohen had (and probably still has) the ear of the president*. And that is what it was all about.
The Republicon Presidents primarily host white military families. That is their M.O. but only minorities are “dividing” the country by mentioning unequal treatment.
All the WH bar-b-ques, Easters, 4th of July, Xmas, events hosted by Republicon Presidents you see a sea of white faces with one or two POC and they are always in the background. I think this is what White America hated about President Obama, too many Black, Brown, LGBT families, mixed in with White families. This is a future they could not tolerate.
yasss
Exactly !!
i get the point of this…but i am more and more offended by the term…non-white…i do not like my definition being an absence of whiteness….NOPE…i don’t
As though whiteness is the yardstick of humanity, given there are more poc in the world than white. I hear you !
I am not surprised.
Not a shock. It’s just all to convenient timing.
‘too’ sorry.
I don’t understand WHY this Attorney would violate these women by telling these stories to Michael Cohn and Donald Trump? What is the connection with this Attorney, MC and Dotard?
If this Attorney talked out of school well then the Attorney would be in big trouble for violating Attorney client privilege I think. I don’t know if it applies here, I don’t know. But what is it with people willing to put their livelihood on the line for Trump?
I go over to the Orange site to see what they are saying about this. Apparently these women came to this Attorney and he told them that because Schniederman was a powerful man there case would go no where or the “elites” would tear them apart and talked these two woman out of going forward with a case. This slime ball contacted Trump and told him about what these women told him and then the attorney gets a call from Cohen to get all the details. This stinks bigly. This will be “Breaking News” all day. This attorney should lose his license to practice and be investigated.
I wondered about this at the very beginning.
Just like Stone connection with Franken accuser.
Same here.
Michigan Republicans wrote a bill that imposes Medicaid work requirements on mostly black cities but exempts mostly white suburbs and rural areas. https://t.co/6KvpGaTXv2

Yep, no ambiguity there.
I smell a lawsuit….
But of course, they did. Who is shocked?
I think some of the reasons why some of the journalists have their panties in a bunch about Avenatti is…
1. He has no phucks left to give
2. He approaches Dolt45 EXACTLY the way the MSM should have been all this time
3. He’s getting the shyt that THEY, if they were actually investigating, should have gotten
We had that story back when that got out about Dolt45 asking Willard
HOW TO MONETIZE THE PRESIDENCY
And, NONE of these MSM Muthaphuckas thought..
” Hmmmmm, maybe I should investigate that?’
There’s STILL at least 25 MILLION MISSING FROM THE INAUGURATION
NOBODY but USA Today and Maddow even consistently asked ,
“Hey, what the phuck did you do with the $100+ million you took in for the Inauguration?’
We got that report of the ‘ friend’ of Melania that got TWENTY-FIVE/TWENTY-SIX MILLION of the Inauguration Monies, and NOBODY, besides USA Today and Maddow have asked WHY?
They are mad because Avenatti is doing the job THEY should have been doing all along.
The guy that was the Chairman of the Inauguration Committee has already talked to Mueller.
Would have been nice to invite La David Johnson’s widow but NO that would have been too uncomfortable for iQ45 and Racist-Kelly.
yes…
Pete Souza has had enough of this b.s. Just like the rest of us. Good on him.
Same way they would have described Hitler, I’m guessing.
I hope you’ll post that in the comments JO’B – it’s entirely appropriate.
Thanks – I did right after posting it here!
It’s all so frightening.
good, it is indeed frightening and very stupid of them to write about him & his admin in any kind of normal capacity.
Meanwhile…
Dr King’s work is being taken up by Rev Barber….and it is not getting enough attention from the press….something tells me neither did Dr King…
“There but for the grace of God goes each one of us.”
Keeping in mind I normally don’t go for attacking any working woman’s appearance, I detest this creepy liar and thought I’d mention hers.
As I think about the “mocking of John McCain” issue being debated endlessly in the last 24 hours, it strikes me as odd that this is really even a big story. Trump has said far worse about him, with zero consequences.
I respect John McCain’s service both in the military, and to the people of Arizona. I appreciate his attempting to swat down lies about Barack Obama during the 2008 town hall, and for his NO vote during the health care votes of last year…but….those shining moments do not erase the other things that I keep remembering about the man.
I’m old enough to remember him voting against the establishment of MLK day, “bomb, bomb Iran”, his negative ads about then Senator Obama, and just now I was thinking about the opposition to a possible Secretary of State Susan Rice. BENGHAZI !!
There are so so many, many issues there through the years.
I wish him a speedy recovery from his horrible diagnosis, but must we canonize him?
End of rant
Oh, and I forgot his legitimizing Sarah Palin!!
I have very similar thoughts to yours. Totally against all of trump’s comments about him, and those of his staffer this week, but McCain is NOT saintly or perfect. Even before some of what you mentioned occurred, I’ll never forget the look on his face in a videotaped Senate hearing I saw once when a family member of a POW-MIA individual – who was part of a group promoting efforts to find out more information on their loved ones, still missing – dared to question McCain about something he said. He literally got up from his seat, pacing back and forth with the most hateful scowl on his face I think I’ve ever seen on anybody’s face. After I saw that, I wondered how he acted around his own family members. He tried to hide his demons from the general public, but he had ’em. Maybe if I’d been tortured in my life, I’d be just as imperfect as he seems, I will grant him that.
Agree with what you both are saying. McCain has a real deep mean streak. His arrogance sometimes got the better of him. The only reason he voted against the GOP health reform was because it wasn’t regular order. Then he went ahead and voted with his party on some of the damage. I disagree with his politics nearly every step of the way. And his daughter is just too sanctimonious for her own good.
I wish no harm to this family. But this ongoing drumbeat of lionizing his every minute isn’t quite the whole truth.
Can’t force myself to watch this … but I actually found the video of the hearing. Not sure if I recalled McCain’s actions right, but I’m going off to eat some chocolate and get myself calmed down! I found his badgering of this woman to be despicable.
Thanks for sharing this JOB, I hadn’t seen it before. You could see the fury in his eyes as Mrs. Alfond spoke. Terrifying!!!
Yes! I literally had to force it out of my mind!
and this from propane jane
She nailed it!
I have ZERO respect for John McCain, but a pack of traitors mocking him as he dies is intolerable …
This Criminal Administration has already broken through the rock bottom they are now going for the center of the earth…………….
When people in the administration start retiring/resigning over such things – then it will mean something. Why these folks didn’t learn the rule – never do business with trump – is why they are now out in the cold.
Yup …
Yup …
Andrew Sullivan fixed his face to call out Coates re his piece on Kanye West….some folks should just crawl back under the rock from which they came…
Richard Pryor had a good come back when some fool who does not pay your bills or help you make money, “Good F yourself”!
Don, Rudy & Fox are absolutely no match for Avenatti …
Yup ….
It’s more than an exile – it’s the realization that no-one can believe the word of the United States, no-one can sign an agreement without acknowledging it will last no longer than an administration. Never should any country now accept the word of the United States – it means nothing.
They’re eating their own …. slippery slurp ….
Apparently Racist-Kelly is ashamed of his own family heritage. That is the face of a man who hates himself and therefore can not love or care for anyone else. God save his wife and other children if he has any.
GE, TODbots.
Congrats, Don on your Golden ⭐
Thank you, NW.
TGIF, I think.
They can always have their convention from under the rocks they crawled. Great solution! 😂🙏😇
How about the SWAMPS of Flori-duh?
Huge! I never knew they could get this big. Gator….caution.
Oh heck NO! Am w/ the no-golfer dude. 👀😂😷
G’Nite TODbots.
Apropos of nothing political, but I went to find a song to listen to before going offline, and remembered my life-long, all-time, favorite song ever (not sure why, but I probably first heard it on American Bandstand in the ’50s when my older sister would teach us how to “jitterbug” and it clicked). It’s hysterical to me that I can never get it out of my head, no matter how old I get. Ha. Goodnight, TODville.
Thumbs UP…
Dedicated to all TOD Mothers, in advance of Mother’s Day. Bless you all!
I’ve been so hectic & didn’t want to be negligent or tardy in sending love to my TOD Moms fam, & those who love them, on Mama’s Day. Indeed! Bless! ❤
Thank you Gazelle, and my wishes for all mothers here as well !! Be blessed !
Could we just have President Obama back – I liked it when the US was friends with the world.
So did I 99ts. It was a pleasure then traveling outside the U.S. For once we got smiles instead of frowns or turned backs. It was such joy watching President Obama travel and interact with other leaders, and watching them come here to visit! Those eight years were such a blessed relief.
On a different subject, I sure do enjoy the Australian shows I can get on Acorntv!. Excellent…for instance, A Place to Call Home and 800 Words for two. Thanks for those great exports.
I liked a place to call home – but have never seen 800 words for two – gosh – will have to look for it. Most of the pacific countries have no understanding as to why trump & the GOP want to turn their backs on our world. Then we see the harm they do to the US and are thankful to be where we are. Keep hoping enough folks see the light. take care over there.
New post.
