GOOD Morning, TODbots.
Last weekend, Aretha Franklin.
This weekend, John McCain.
President Obama is truly a gift. The man is unbelievably Noble. I salute him, always.

Than you, all.

For her birthday, she told MAKERS, she wanted to encourage young girls to "bring the spirit of curiosity to everything you do… and remember "my father always told me that no matter how smart I was, I was no better than any other person—and no less." https://t.co/SfbjNvP3TZpic.twitter.com/lr5WlAwK8H

Excellent and important read. Share. If you need yet ANOTHER reason to vote…
From the piece:
There’s one more possibility, and it’s the worst of all for a democracy: Partisan entrenchment on the court could lead to partisan entrenchment in the other branches, as the law professors Jack Balkin and Sanford Levinson have argued, because of the court’s ability to influence the electoral process. Republicans tend to benefit when fewer people vote — and making it harder to vote, and harder for minorities to exercise political power, are already among the Roberts Court’s chief legacies. In his 13 years on the court, Roberts has consistently moved the law toward restricting access to the ballot. He joined majorities that upheld voter-ID laws and eased the way to purging voters from the rolls, each of which has a disproportionate impact on young and minority voters. In redistricting challenges, Roberts voted not to block extreme political gerrymanders, which make it harder for the party that is out of power to win it back, and to dilute the power of minority voters, who tend to favor Democratic candidates. In 2013, he wrote the opinion in the 5-to-4 case Shelby County v. Holder that shredded a key part of the Voting Rights Act. Kavanaugh’s record is shorter but similar. As an appellate judge, he upheld a strict voter-ID law in South Carolina, which the Obama administration found would disenfranchise minority voters more than others.
The conservative Roberts majority will no doubt frame future rulings on voting restrictions and gerrymandering as solidly grounded in law and the Constitution. And yet it could become increasingly difficult to believe the court is doing law, not politics, if a conservative majority of Republican appointees issued decision after decision that had the effect of helping Republican candidates win elections.
CYNDI McCAIN in the Senate?!!!!!!!
Was Stephen Hawking’s wife an expert on Physics because she was married to Stephen Hawking?
-gi’us an effing break jimmy!
Let me caution you about that outrage, bridgeriverpass:) I would GLADLY take Cindy McCain over just about anyone else that our RW Kochwhore gov would appoint to finish John McCain’s term. Cindy McCain is at least liberal in her thoughts on saving Obamacare, saving Roe and the rights of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters. Anyone else he would appoint, would vote to gut all those things and then some. Trust me. I live here. I have seen Doug Ducey in action for a long time and have had to live with the effects. Trust me. You want her there for 2 years.
df thanks. But honestly no proof that the pre-requisitely wealthy McCain would Vote the way she has spoken about. Maybe she would but maybe not. (This is the problem with Collins’ hopes and prayers about Kavanaugh.) Why would anyone Ducey appoints be trustworthy? I see your hopeful idea but who knows what’d happen when the big Koch boys are breathing down Cyn’s neck?
There are no guarantees, to be sure. But when you see the list of his choices, trust me, I’d breathe a sigh of relief if it turned out to be her. I promise you, the rest of them are RW nutjobs. TOTALLY!
Exactly. We need people in office that represent the PEOPLE, whoever they may be. I continue to hope that this dark place we are passing through right now has shined a light on the need for Americans to become, and stay, more civically engaged in their govt. For far too long, too many have taken their responsibility too lightly, and their civic duty to vote too cavalierly. This is our hard lesson.
I am 65…i have voted Dem all my life…my mother & grandmother were democrats…my 2 daughters are democrats…we are black women.. black women are the most reliable voters in the DEM party…no one seems to want to make the party attractive for us…why is that https://t.co/cUukYBXL9O
It is the same reason you had twenty and thirtysomething Bernie Bros thinking they know how to run the Democratic Party better than Barack Obama did. Some in the Democratic Party are so goddamn condescending towards African American voters. Meanwhile Bernie hasn’t passed a piece of legislation in some thirty years in office, I’m sorry, he did get a post office or two named. They think that they can walk into African American communities and start talking about all the free shit we’re going to get if we vote for them. Here’s a news flash, Black people don’t want free shit. What Black people do want is a level playing field. And I’m getting sick and tired of this guy new guy Perez, this guy hasn’t impressed me not one bit. He seems to do whatever Bernie tells him to do.
John McCain was a true American hero. He devoted his entire life to his country. His voice will be missed. Our respectful thoughts go to his beloved ones.
The Nuns on the Bus are headed to President Donald Trump’s backyard.
For the sixth time since 2012, a Catholic social justice group is sending a group of religious sisters across the country on a bus tour ― this time to protest against the GOP tax law ahead of the midterm elections. The 27-day, 54-event tour is set to hit 21 states, including a slew of competitive congressional districts. The tour will end with a “Fiesta for the Common Good” outside of the Trump-owned Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
The goal of the October tour is to highlight GOP House members’ support for the $1.2 trillion tax cut law, which is unpopular in public opinion polling. Critics have assailed the law for increasing the budget deficit and income inequality. The law remains popular in some Republican-leaning states and with the GOP’s donor class but hasn’t proven to be the midterm winner many GOP operatives hoped.
The Trump administration will be put on trial and the full scope of its corruption will be exposed. Congressional hearings will be covered wall-to-wall on cable news, dominating news cycle after news cycle. Trump, more than any president in history, evaluates his success based on how the media covers the day. A barrage of hearings and subpoenas will have a deteriorating effect on Trump and completely stall the White House’s agenda.

"Republicans have cravenly abdicated their oversight responsibilities, choosing instead to look the other way despite exhaustive displays of waste, fraud, abuse and mismanagement. But thanks to voters and Elijah Cummings, that might change." https://t.co/qVfEJcC0pu via @HuffPost
I’ve seen Rep. Elijah Cummings in many a hearing, and I’ve often thought that I hope he doesn’t have a heart attack while dealing with everything-trump. He’s so aghast that RWNJs are letting trump get away with everything, I’ve prayed a little for him. Just prayed again. I don’t think he’ll rest until the job is done!
According to MSNBC, “McConnell confirms McCain will lie in state in the U.S. Capitol.”
I don’t think John McCain saw that coming, when he was spending 5 years in a prisoner of war camp way back when. Luckily, none of us can even begin to imagine what he went through. RIP.
The one good thing that I’m holding onto is that when the final chapter is written on Trump. Because of the way he ran his Administration, our institutions will be made that much stronger.
JHC, df, I would flip out if this happens. I despise that twit. I’d also love to see Trump, Ivanka and Little Jared SWEAT EFFIN BULLETS.
I’ve been on a cleanse for the last few weeks but the sound of some brut rose bubbles is awfully good. Girl, we are going to dance. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
Exhibit A. This would have been a consideration of Gov Ducey to fill McCain’s seat if she weren’t already running. I hope she goes down in chemtrail flames. Yes, she’s a conspiracy theorist.
The nerve. Shame on you. Yesterday, you implied that his statement about ending his treatment was orchestrated to hurt your campaign & then chided your supporters not to "elect another senator cut from the same cloth as John McCain." You have no decency. You are unfit for office. https://t.co/cP9iuKNsRs
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?@kelliwardaz staffer: I wonder if John McCain's trying to steal attention from Ward's bus tour by announcing his life is coming to an end. Ward: Yup, it's all about me. #AZSENpic.twitter.com/AXKAOhKYkU
Never watch Fox News, but decided to check in for two seconds to see if they were covering National Watermelon Day or something like that, when in fact – at least for two seconds – they, too, are covering McCain. How long will it last?
Are women equal citizens not just on paper but in practice? Are the rights of the ultra-wealthy stronger than the rights of everyone else? Is the president above the law? SCOTUS nomination fights are fights aren’t just about a person, they’re about who we want to be. 3/
No wonder Ms. Lindsey Graham is now besties with Trump. McCain did not choose him to speak or maybe he has but knowing that McCain wanted to show a bi-partisan front at his funeral Lindsey was too divisive now that he is fully on Trump’s side. What a disappointment McCain thought he knew his friend was just an opportunist!
I will just put this here. This is what the Republicans lack now….among other things.
When John McCain conceded in 2008, he congratulated Barack Obama – and asked his supporters to stop booing. “In a contest as long as difficult as this campaign has been, his success alone commands my respect for his ability and perseverance," McCain said.https://t.co/sJa8WiDjxOpic.twitter.com/aFZgbhpUXX
Senator McCain knew that President-elect Barack Obama won fair and square. He did not have to CHEAT! or have Blue State governors or the SCOTUS prevent his people from voting unlike the Red State governors, SCOTUS Roberts, and Putin helped GWB and iQ45 win an election. They can’t win unless they CHEAT!
The policing of women’s bodies must end. The “respect” that’s needed is for the exceptional talent @serenawilliams brings to the game. Criticizing what she wears to work is where the true disrespect lies. https://t.co/ioyP9VTCxM
“We’re the only people who can put Democrats in power who will actually open investigations to find out what truly happened. We’re the only people who can defeat Trump.” –@DanPfeiffer
To the entire @GOP: John McCain, in his death, is still trying to speak to you. He is having President Obama speak at his funeral. Donald Trump is to stay away. You all should be ashamed of yourselves for completely destroying what he fought for.
“Allen Weisselberg the Man who Knew Trump’s Financial Secrets Has Agrees to Become a Corroborating Witness.” (New Yorker)
“There are now multiple investigations of the Trump Organization being conducted by the special counsel Robert Mueller, the New York Attorney General, The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, the Manhattan District Attorney, the Southern District of New York, and—quite likely—other jurisdictions. President Trump is unable to stop most of these investigations. With Cohen and, now, Weisselberg providing information, it is becoming increasingly certain that the American people will—sooner or later—have a far fuller understanding of how Donald Trump conducted business. That is unlikely to go well for him.”
Start kreening Donald if u know how.
It would appear that the Mueller investigation was just the catalyst to get the ball rolling….these other investigations seem equally important and they can not be stopped. Karma will find them all. They have run roughshod over the rule of law and decency for many decades…believing they are more important than the rest of us and payoffs would shield them from the consequences of their nefarious actions. Tick, tock assholes.
GOOD! Dems have a plan if Mueller gets shut down as a result of the orange-turd firing Sessions or Rosenstein. I would image that Mueller has many indictments at the ready to be released. It is too late for the entire investigation to be shut down. I know he is looking at all the ways he can shut it down on a federal level before he pulls the trigger but he CAN”T shut down the state investigations. They have all if not most of the key players who will go to prison that iQ45 can’t pardon.
Despite political differences with other Americans, McCain epitomized the Navy Core Values of Honor, Courage, Commitment >>> Duty, Honor, Country, Heritage: Our 2006 interview with John McCain https://t.co/1CXrkVKY6o
The GOP has said a lot of meaningless platitudes about John McCain but they will continue to protect a criminal President…it is their ONLY way of maintaining power
and how many GOP votes for Obstruction did McCain vote against…did McCain use his voice to demand a hearing for Garland…when McConnell refused to hold hearings on Pres Obama’s SCOTUS nominee…For the most part McCain voted in lock step with the republicans in the both the Trump and Obama eras…not really a Maverick
.@BarackObama gave Katherine Johnson the Medal Of Freedom, the highest civilian Presidential award, on Nov 24, 2015. Many women and girls reach higher because they stand on Katherine Johnson’s shoulders. Happy 100th Birthday!! https://t.co/v62WKbbTgj
98 years ago, women were finally given the right to vote. On #WomensEqualityDay, let’s celebrate the successes of our predecessors and continue to push for full equality of all womenhttps://t.co/8aKGtCxsB7
The ONLY way women can gain equality is to be fully represented in our Federal and State governments. We need to continue to hire women in all phases of government. Rules and laws are being written to limit health, educational choices and wages unlike men. More women are going to college and getting degrees than men. We are ready and prepared to make real change.
Faux news and GOP claim these are all, “lone wolfs”, “mentally ill (yet do thing for solve mental illness) or “it’s too soon to talk about gun issues”.
I did some soul searching tonight – some introspection – and re-examined my attitude toward friends and family who continue to support Trump. I even took a stroll for peace and quiet and ended up in my backyard with a shovel…and that my friends is where I buried my last fuck.
This has been a tough weekend for me. My “Aunt” passed away yesterday at the same time as John MCain. Aunt Pauline was my dad’s cousin who I loved dearly. She was 90. She is the last of the elders on my fathers side.
So sorry for your loss mtmarilyn. May she rest in peace. She lived a long life and saw so many great events in her life time. She will stay in your heart with fond memories forever.
Thank you all for your condolences. I thought it was amazing that the died within 5 minutes of each other. Her first husband had been a POW in WWII and after he passed away she married a friend who also had been a POW in WWII. It was many years before my uncle would talk about his experiences. It was very hard to listen too as a young girl. I think of what McCain did endure.
I listened to an interview of a parent of one of the kids at the gaming tournament in Jacksonville. Their kid was playing and ran and hid in a bathroom stall. He called and told his folks what was happening and “If anything happens, I love you”. Good for him to run and hide and thank God He made it. But obviously the experience was intensely devastating for all of them and they will be shaken by it for a long time. So, his father was being interviewed and was naturally distraught: We’re leaving right now to go pick him up and bring him home. We’re goping to bring him home” The final question was something like “Anything else you would like the listeners to know?” AND?? “Yes, we’re great supporters of President Trump and he’s going to keep the wrong people out so this doesn’t happen anymore.”
WTF? WTF!!?? ARE YOU INSANE??? Just STUPID or a whole BUTT-LOAD of both??
Not much to say here. They are a cult and they’ve been duly programmed.
Never mind the news that the shooter was confirmed to be white shortly afterward. It probably won’t even register with him if his son tells him that it was a fellow white American guy who pulled the trigger.
The Obama Diary 
Pat Buchanan once said ‘when god puts his hands on a man, he takes his hands off of him.’ rest in peace John McCain.
Barbra Bush and now John McCain, both of their families didn’t want the current President to attend their funerals.
Sure does. And good morning e’erbody.
Exponentially this:)
Until the reality of Mike Pence as president sinks in. And it will sink in quickly.
UNFREAKINBELIEVABLE

Unless he appoints Cindy McCain to his remaining term, this person will surely vote to destroy the ACA and vote the party line.
The report is that the Current GOP Gov, might just do that.

The shooter in Jacksonville was a white male. Let’s see what Trump has to say about that.
Nothing. He will say nothing
Faux news and GOP claim these are all, “lone wolfs”, “mentally ill (yet do thing for solve mental illness) or “it’s too soon to talk about gun issues”.
meta… you better start thinking about what cake to bake:)

Hear, hear!
This has been a tough weekend for me. My “Aunt” passed away yesterday at the same time as John MCain. Aunt Pauline was my dad’s cousin who I loved dearly. She was 90. She is the last of the elders on my fathers side.
I’m so sorry.
{{{ ❤ Mtmarilyn ❤ }}}
So sorry for your loss mtmarilyn. May she rest in peace. She lived a long life and saw so many great events in her life time. She will stay in your heart with fond memories forever.
Our condolences for yours & your family’s loss {{{{mtmarilyn}}}
Hugs to you and your family, mtmarilyn. I’m sure she loved you just as dearly.
{{Mtmarilyn}}, I’m so sorry or your loss. May she RIP.
Condolences to you Marilyn.
Thank you all for your condolences. I thought it was amazing that the died within 5 minutes of each other. Her first husband had been a POW in WWII and after he passed away she married a friend who also had been a POW in WWII. It was many years before my uncle would talk about his experiences. It was very hard to listen too as a young girl. I think of what McCain did endure.
🙏🏻🕯❤️
my best to your family mtmarilyn.
I listened to an interview of a parent of one of the kids at the gaming tournament in Jacksonville. Their kid was playing and ran and hid in a bathroom stall. He called and told his folks what was happening and “If anything happens, I love you”. Good for him to run and hide and thank God He made it. But obviously the experience was intensely devastating for all of them and they will be shaken by it for a long time. So, his father was being interviewed and was naturally distraught: We’re leaving right now to go pick him up and bring him home. We’re goping to bring him home” The final question was something like “Anything else you would like the listeners to know?” AND?? “Yes, we’re great supporters of President Trump and he’s going to keep the wrong people out so this doesn’t happen anymore.”
WTF? WTF!!?? ARE YOU INSANE??? Just STUPID or a whole BUTT-LOAD of both??
Cult 45 is going to keep insane white people out of the country? How when he and his swamp cabinet are full of insane gun toters.
Not much to say here. They are a cult and they’ve been duly programmed.
Never mind the news that the shooter was confirmed to be white shortly afterward. It probably won’t even register with him if his son tells him that it was a fellow white American guy who pulled the trigger.
New post.
