A girl doesn’t want her mum to be deported, and can the president please help? A guy finally admits to his wife that he’s gay, and now he would like to tell the president. A car dealer writes to say his bank is shutting him down, and thanks for nothing, Mr President. A vet who can’t stop seeing what he saw in Iraq writes a barely intelligible rant that makes his point all the more intelligible: “Help.” An inmate admits to selling crack, but he wants the president to know he is not a lost cause: “I have dreams Mr President, big dreams.” A man can’t find a job. A woman can’t find a job. A teacher with advanced certification can’t find a damn job. A lesbian couple just got married; thank you, Mr President. A man sends his medical bills; a woman sends her student loan statements; a child sends her drawing of a cat; a mother sends her teenager’s report card – straight As, isn’t that awesome, Mr President?

I noticed that over by his desk, on a wall, he had hung the framed letter from Natoma Canfield; Obama had said she reminded him of his mum, who died at 52 of a similar cancer. The letter had stood as a reminder to him of his commitment to healthcare reform. “The only instruction I gave was that I wanted every packet to be representative,” he continued. “And understanding that it wouldn’t be perfect. It didn’t mean that, you know, out of every 10 letters, there had to be two positive and two negative and three neutral and one funny. It wasn’t formulaic like that. But that was the one thing I insisted on – that this is not useful to me if all I’m getting are, you know, ‘happy birthday’ wishes. And I think they did a wonderful job of channelling the American people in that way.”

Thank you NW!!
They really are scumbags!
Funny that the Texas Rangers got a warrant to specifically to find drugs since her story is falling apart. They will work hard to get her off. More marching in the streets.
Good Evening, TODbots.
Congrats, Doc Bob on your Au ⭐ Furst. 😉
Thank you, Nerdy Wonka.
OMG, this is wild.
This is kinda fun, thinking about it. For a second.
POTUS LIVE NOW:

Me-self was Wot! I-self was yelling dood! All-self was gorrila fam need all seats in Congress. 👏 QED.
Those pesky immigrants/refugees! 😂😂
OMG
UGH, someone just said the footage is from Hurricane Irma. Sorry about that.
Thanks for posting.
I can’t believe some of these hecklers have not improved on their pastime!
proud of Anderson! he didn’t mince words. we cannot let Trump re-write the facts here. Thousands of precious lives were neglected.
And I still think we owe it to ourselves and Puerto Rico to:
FIND as many names as we can and RELEASE them.
Good for the Hispanic Caucus!
Thank goodness. Not a big personal fan of Cuomo (I don’t find him authentic, although I appreciate much of his platform), but really, really not a big fan of Nixon and some of the people she hangs with..
I am happy that Cuomo won because anybody reminding me of the Berniebros’ era is too much for my taste. In addition, calling Cuomo’s administration or entourage corrupt is a long stretch I can cross. Corruption is defined by the Trump administration and WH. Period.
Totally with you on those issues!
Bernie did not endorse Nixon…but he endorsed the candidates around her…wonder what that means
Was there a Bernie connection? I seem to recall her saying she sided with him, at least – but I was turned off by her early on and didn’t pay enough attention to realize he hadn’t endorsed her. Wish Bernie would go away, tell you the truth, but whatever it takes to get Dems elected, I’m for that.
i found it interesting …that he did NOT endorse her…
I try not to hate, but I despise the people responsible with the heat of a thousand suns.
Vote the enablers of this vile administration OUT!! Give none a place to hide.
Goodnight, TODville – and all the ships at sea – far away from the hurricane(s), I hope! Stay safe, East Coasters!
If he runs as a Democrat, I AM ALL IN! With his billions, he can take Orangeade and ship him to the Hades… or to Russia.
I’m not thrilled by Bloomberg. Sick of billionaires, sick of newly-minted Democrats, sick of white guys who believe they’re saviors. He is stellar on the environment but I need a full-blooded Democrat who knows what it’s like to struggle to get ahead, who knows what it means to not have healthcare and ability to vote. And anyway, I do not care about 2020 yet. We have so much to get done by November 6th!!
I agree with you. I don’t trust him. Although he’s good on environment and gun control.
NO MORE FAKE DEMOCRATS!
another non-Democrat running as a DEM…..nope
Democrats faked the death count? No. Democrats killed the people.
That is why we must Find all the Names we can and Release Them.
We owe the families at least that much. We must not allow Trump to say their lives never happened.
Where are the cameras and the reporting of the families?
Good for Debra.
Sarandon is showing her true colors: She can AFFORD to watch Trump’s chaos unfold in order to achieve a ‘revolution’ because she didn’t personally suffer from it. She’s probably enjoying that big GOP tax cut.
Pretty sure I saw that Debra also endorsed Cuomo last night, even though she was originally for Cynthia Nixon. She made the comment, as I recall, that we need to vote for ANY Dem who won their primary and can the RWNJs.
I feel for his mom!!
Sickening.
…and Democrats need to be all over the “Tariffs 101” strategy when they campaign.
They need to put in VERY simple terms the damage that Trump’s assault on our democracy and governmental policies has caused.
11AM Eastern, 8AM Pacific
GM, Meta! How are you doing my West Coast friend 😎
My boy Lebron has some shade for the haters…
And behind the scenes with Toronto Raptors GM who traveled to Kenya with PBO for the NBA:
HEY, LP, good morning! I’m doing OK, all things considered. Hope all is well wth you. Thanks for the info!
GLAD to see POC reclaim the “progressive” terminology away from the St. Bernie stans.
good morning everyone!
have a great day and weekend
among the many things that made me feel good about this video, I must say that I was chuckling when I notice “the vehicle” that is parked in the place with a placard saying “campaign staff parking” ……………….,
President Barack Obama shakes hands with supporters during a campaign rally for Ohio Gubernatorial candidate Richard Cordray at CMSD East Professional Center Gymnasium on September 13, 2018 in Cleveland, Ohio.
-love-
UGH!!
OOOOOOOPpppps, he spoke too soon.
SO, there could be some cooperation is these charges have been reduced. And Trump pardoning for conspiracy against the United States and obstruction of justice is not going to fly.
-love-
me too…
There l never be another like President Obama
We need a lawyer to explain this:
WIll he cooperate with Mueller?
TOD lawyer, please:) Hppay Friday!
I’m don’t think we’ll know that for a bit but I’m really hoping so. I’d love to be wrong about my reservations. If and when he turns on Trump, ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE.
My fondest wish:)
So much information is coming out now on twitter about all the attached documents to the pleading. Too much too post here…….it’s staggering. Mueller crossed every t and dotted every i. Amazing work.
DELICIOUS!! Another fabulous Mueller Friday!!
BOOM
This is looking like a good possibility:
BOOM BOOM BOOM
WOW
CLEAN HIM OUT
Valdamort. Another reason to vote for Andrew Gillum. As if you needed another one
Ronan rides again.
Doesn’t seem far-fetched to me. Look at his behavior in general
He gives off a very creepy vibe. And his fawning of Trump during the hearing was nauseating. So yeah, this looks like it fits. What happens next will be emblematic of what we’ve been going through the last 3 years.
-an SC who has been caught repeatedly lying and is only there to save the fake president’s face doesn’t deserve the Time of Day.
Although it is the GOP ho with held documents…..this article attemps to blame DEMS for not moving forward re: the allegations….saying that there is trouble between the DEMs …sigh…the press is amazing
Yeah, it’s always got be about blaming Dems. UGH.
WOW, these are among Mueller’s biggest squad members. Wow!!
The maximum jail time is likely 10 years. Who knows what he’ll be sentenced……..
Maybe we will not find out if cooperation by Manafort is part of the deal… to keep certain people in the dark. Is that possible?
Hot damn!!!

Just a few weeks ago Manafort was acting like James Cagney in “White Heat.”
Make no mistake about it, Manafort is a whale, he knows all. And Mueller got him to flip.
17 pages, my goodness, the only thing longer is a mortgage loan application.
LOL. And Mueller got MOST of Manafort’s money.
PARTAY!!!!
Chuck Rosenberg’s speech is fat free and so pristine.
TGIF, TODbots.
A possible cooperation by Manafort.
Now this.
Good Morning TODville Community.
i guess the press has no obligation to guard the identity of the accuser….this sickens me
New post.

OOOOUUUUUCHHHHHHH
I read yesterday that Sean Hannity said Orange-Turd was going to fire Mueller AFTER hurricane Florence. Hannity talks to the orange turd every night lets see how true it will be. You know orange turd needs to have the last word. If he does this before the elections he’s killed the Republican party for good. If he does it AFTER the elections he’s killed the Republican party for good.
Just so he kills the Republican party for good.
Actually, I’m for an honest, two-party system, which is meant to keep us from going too far, either way. – we just need to get rid of THIS RWNJ party.
