Good day TODville
Read a comment at another site that maybe PP will ask Putin if he can defect to Russia … at the G20 summit.
Wouldn’t that be lovely if it came true … the world can give Putin a medal or something. LOL.
Have a huge sendoff party with military parade and all, for PP and his family… and he should be encouraged to bring a few of his Republican friends with him too….. ok ok I shall wake up now.
Have a lovely day everyone.
My friend mentioned that same thought to me last night – she was starting to picture that trump would ask to defect to Russia after the G20 and not come back here!
If only!
JO”B, I doubt Putin would really want a stable genius like the WH traitor in his back yard. Of what further use could he be to him?
A thought that has been walking through my mind recently is this – would the USA be honour bound to actively intervene (like with military) if the WH Criminal were to suffer a Putin-like serious/fatal ‘accident’ after this trip to their meeting? I mean, would such an ‘accident’ be considered an affront to US given the circumstances. I really am interested in what you folks think would likely happen.
That one’s “higher than my pay grade,” for sure!
So, you going to ask for a raise,
(and then answer)?
I like the way you think, VC! 🙂
😉
BTW I’m genuinely curious to find out if harming this Idiot-Criminal abroad could lead to (muttering this word in a very soft voice) war.
I’d say it should be considered an act of war toward our country, if it were other-government sponsored.
That’s somewhat like how I feel. In this particular instance, should it happen, I’d hope it’d be considered as a fallout between two evil friends, and no-one else would lose a life in retaliation.
Actually, he’d become a martyr to his fans were that to happen, and that would make things worse.
Sigh; yes. Is it okay if I admit that’s the only reason I wouldn’t want something like that to happen – the fact it’d evoke empathy in far too many (aside from his fans).
You and a whole bunch of folks.
And everyone who worked with him will be proud that they did so for the rest of their lives. The leader sets the tone just as the converse is true “the fish rots from the head.” PBO inspired by his example and young people all over the world have taken it and run with it straight to public office and other areas of public influence. PBO can go almost anywhere in the world and be welcomed and feted, his integrity, selflessness and hard work being rewarded in many ways. Doing things the right way for the right reason is hard to maintain in this often evil and trifling world, but if you hold on, joy and blessings will be yours. It makes me happy to see him and Michelle flourish.
LOL. Good one Legend. The $55MM is a good start but they need to be fully and completely bankrupted and shut down.
Yes please!! Let it be so.
Good Afternoon TODbots
All day, the song Dancing by the Jackson 5 has been in my head…..I don’t want to get rid of it 🙂
Thanks, NW❣
Congrats, jey on your Au ⭐ Furst as Amk would say…..Where art are thou, Amk?
Hi Nena! 😘
I have always thought that because of Special Counsel Muller’s proven love of country and deepest respect for its institutions and the law, he would not let the traitor-in-chief to be arrested within the confines of the White House – The People’s House.
So maybe he’ll be carted off AF1 in handcuffs, before returning to the WH?
I’m likin’ that thought.
I fine with wherever they snatch Mango Mussolini’s crooked ass.
lol
if you are a member of Team Treason, and you have not yet put your affairs in order, you are running out of time …. the proverbial “witching hour” is approaching fast
Goodie!!!
Yup
Oh, I love that!
😂
Ryan believes his own bullshit. Sad
A young girl wrote to Steph Curry asking why he doesn’t make sneakers for girls!! LOVE how he responded.
Isn’t his daughter’s name Riley too?
Yes, but this is a different one!!
Love it
Thank you, SC Mueller.
This needs to be investigated one way or the other.
There is a LOT of dirt there and I truly hope it all comes out, for the sake of those young girls who are now women living with the pain and suffering.
Random.. but good for an afternoon.
And Lorena Babbitt had nothing to do with it….🤦♀️👀🤔
Karma is wonderful. Hope his ‘groin’ is ok
Aw! Good for her! Good for Texas! 👏🏾
Good.
I love the topic. The messengers, not so much. Oh boy! Buckle up.
I don’t remember his doing anything – at all – relating to climate change. Then again, I don’t follow him at all, either.
Yeah. Bernie’s on my ignore list too.
That one has just found his spine.
Good for him for finally doing something right. Can’t say the same for Collins though.
The show ended too early.
Good. She’s still banned. This publicity stunt made no difference. LOL
I like him….Not Sugarcoating the Truth.👏👏
I like him, too!
He’s been great in the confirmation hearings. Loved how he nailed Sessions.
Nerdy Wonka thank you for this interview and giving us a front row seat for two beyond-remarkable women. Thank you doesn’t cover it.
Beyond the words…our First Lady is brilliant! brilliant! brilliant! brilliant! BRILLIANT. Beyond stunning… i hadn’t imagined what was possible to elucidate, make real and bring to life. And Imo the Obamas are not only accessible – they’re tour de forces of our lifetimes.
Here we go. Here we are, finally!
Excellent.
OH.
kinda. like a b c deee f.
heh. you gotta try a different way of splaining things btw….keep trying a different way!
Tim Scott finally remembered he is Black.
Heard him say this. It was stunning
Rosenstein reportedly still running the show = not Whitaker.
“U.S. Government source telling (Nicole Wallace) today this investigation is still squarely under the command and control of the deputy attorney general rod Rosenstein and his staff and that acting attorney general Matt Whitaker has not involved himself in either the cooperation that Michael Cohen engaged in or the charge against him today.”
The more I learn about this Fine Rep, the More I like!
Another great moment from Rep. Jeffries, this time from the House floor.
OMG, wouldn’t it be perfect if all three of these freaks went down? PLEASE.
PLEASE!
His master calls him to heel. Amazing that so many American men of high positions kiss the ass of this craven fool. They saved their spite for a real man and now bend the knee for a weasel.
Me thinks his master is not too pleased with the stooge. LOL
Beauty Break
I believe she will be proven correct
Yup ….
Rachel Maddow Show on Fire….LOL. Calling out the GOP Russian report.
Yes she was. I’m watching it again.
Oh, look what I stumbled upon – a link to a 2011 written speech by SC Mueller!
He’s apparently talking about organized crime. I’m not done reading it yet. This is the direct link to the speech
https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/speeches/the-evolving-organized-crime-threat
and below is the tweet from which the link came.
The disclaimer at the top or the archive reminds us that some info might be outdated info – “This is archived material from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) website. It may contain outdated information and links may no longer function” – but I was very encouraged to see a little bit *into* the mind of SC Mueller from his own words. Donald better believe he’s dealing with a smart man, and his team.
Here is an excerpt from the speech:
// ……
As you know, just last week we arrested nearly 130 members of La Cosa Nostra in New York, New Jersey, and New England. We will continue to work with our state and local partners to end La Cosa Nostra’s lifelong practice of crime and undue influence.
But the playing field has changed. We have seen a shift from regional families with a clear structure, to flat, fluid networks with global reach. These international enterprises are more anonymous and more sophisticated. Rather than running discrete operations, on their own turf, they are running multi-national, multi-billion dollar schemes from start to finish.
We are investigating groups in Asia, Eastern Europe, West Africa, and the Middle East. And we are seeing cross-pollination between groups that historically have not worked together. Criminals who may never meet, but who share one thing in common: greed.
They may be former members of nation-state governments, security services, or the military. These individuals know who and what to target, and how best to do it. They are capitalists and entrepreneurs. But they are also master criminals who move easily between the licit and illicit worlds. And in some cases, these organizations are as forward-leaning as Fortune 500 companies.
This is not “The Sopranos,” with six guys sitting in a diner, shaking down a local business owner for $50 dollars a week. These criminal enterprises are making billions of dollars from human trafficking, health care fraud, computer intrusions, and copyright infringement. They are cornering the market on natural gas, oil, and precious metals, and selling to the highest bidder.
These crimes are not easily categorized. Nor can the damage, the dollar loss, or the ripple effects be easily calculated. It is much like a Venn diagram, where one crime intersects with another, in different jurisdictions, and with different groups.

Tomorrow 11/30 the sentencing of Manafort and Dec 12th of Michael Cohen is going to be Fireworks! Who will Putin kill next? No wonder Trump does not want to see Putin.
New post.

Orange cheeto is losing it already. Yay. Plus Jill Wine-Banks on Lawrence’s show actually said tonight that “the noose is tightening.” Hallelujah.
Sometimes I just can’t help myself:
