DONALD TRUMP AVERAGES MORE THAN 10 FALSE CLAIMS A DAY, TOPPING 7,500 DURING FIRST 700 DAYS IN OFFICE
…According to a report from The Washington Post published Friday, Trump has uttered 7,549 âfalse or misleading claimsâ during the first 700 days of his presidency. …
During his tenure in office, Trump has claimed 594 times that the investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller is a witch hunt, or that there was no collusion between his campaign and the Russians. … http://bit.ly/2CrXTQb
Itâs unethical to report on this battle over funding for the border wall without mentioning the wall is a ridiculous concept that only serves as racist, xenophobic propaganda.
On this day in 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court's decision that the segregation of city buses violated the 14th Amendment, ending the Montgomery bus boycott. The boycott is a lasting testament to what can happen when Americans mobilize. #TheMarchContinuespic.twitter.com/jJrMv4ZNMX
“Everything Trump has ever been involved in is being investigated: his company, his charity, his presidential campaign, his inauguration, his presidency. It’s like he has the Midas touch, but instead of gold everything he touches turns to crimes.”
–Trevor Noah
“The president was dealt another blow when his personal charity, the Trump Foundation, was shut down when prosecutors effectively said it acted as a slush fund for Trump’s personal spending. ⌠Trump used his charity to pay for lawsuits, which then prompted a lawsuit that ended the charity. At this point he’s going to have to start a new charity to pay for the lawsuit over the old charity. They can call it March of Crimes.”

“I just think it’s beautiful that, even though he’s busy with the presidency, Trump still makes time for his lifelong passion: driving organizations into the ground.”
–James Corden
“Trump is going all-in on this wall. Last night he wrote, ‘Democrats are saying loud and clear that they do not want to build a concrete wall. But we are not building a concrete wall—we are building artistically-designed steel slats so you can easily see through it.’ A border wall made of slats that you can see through is called a âfence.â He’s gone from ‘We’re gonna build a wall and Mexico’s gonna pay for it’ to ‘We’re gonna build a Burning Man art installation and we’re all gonna pay for it together.'”

More judicial pushback against Trumpâs outrageous behavior. Thank heaven for the Article III judiciary â and for lawyers like @kaplanrobbie and @JoshuaMatz8 with the commitment and talent to invoke federal judicial power to hold the Trumpsters accountablehttps://t.co/xanrvsZEBV
At the end of Obama's second year and the last day of the congressional session in 2010, the U.S. Senate ratified the New START Treaty. We drank champagne & then Obama got on Marine One, headed to Hawaii. That was a great day (even if I may have been a little too exuberant) ! pic.twitter.com/bOxS6qLrYh
Believe it or not, coyotes. Believe it or not, Individual 1 is going down, soon. Believe it or not, Pents is going down too. Believe it or not, Nancy Smash will be President of the United States in 2019.
Meadows and Jordan are running the @GOP. Kushner is running the WH. Pence is looking for Mother. Mulvaney's looking for the keys to his office du jour.

You absolutely MUST read this thread; will put a smile on your face…
I wanted the best way to tell my neighbor that he tried it with his late night party. So I wrote him a letter and baked him a cake. pic.twitter.com/SxPKAzOHp0
The building of a wall to keep out brown immigrants from Mexico…is a racist xenophobic diatribe cooked up by Trump to stroke the racism in white America…We can not forget that…it was NEVER about security
Good morning, TOD. Three days to go. Hope all of you are well and able to enjoy your holidays with family and friends. We are having a rather low key Christmas this year and must say I am enjoying it. Husband and I decided to not exchange gifts–a relief for both of us. Our daughter asked that we keep the gifts to her and the kids at a minimum. Instead, doing things that make memories…….tickets for movies, cooking class for our granddaughter, etc. We are going to her house (VA) tomorrow. Have a retirement party to attend here tonight. Our church no longer does the BIG cookie event on C. Eve so I haven’t felt the need to do any cookies. We don’t need to be eating them anyway. Christmas blessings to all of you and your family! Cannot even begin to imagine not having this place to come to each day. Thank you, NW, for keeping our doors open. Chips (and Danny), we miss you so very much!
This shouldnât get lost in the avalanche of crazy. The wall we need is between DOJ and the White House. The foundation of our democracy- the rule of law- depends on it. https://t.co/HVktymSoWF

–Thanks Magapie! Yes a jolly holly shufti to light up the winter skies.
–Hey be seeing TOD anon after a few weeks, all my best.
Jill is Russian. I believe her parents immigrated here from Russia during the 1920s when we were discovering the Ussian illegals operation in the US. The best way to push back is by exposing the immigrant histories of Republicans.
Okay, so I only looked at this about 10 times … today (I watched it repeatedly the first time it was posted here) … giggling at each encounter. Honestly, I very rarely ever (except when they’re at funerals) see Michelle or Barack without laughing. They both are a terrific tonic. Truth is, before the Obamas I never knew I could love so strongly, so thoroughly, so viscerally someone(S) I’ve never met.
My vote is for Condola Rashad, broadway actress and daughter of Phylicia Rashad or Renee Elise Goldsberry the original Angelica Schuyler from Hamilton. However each has a lack of height problem: Condola is 5â8â and Renee is 5â7â.
I can’t even. I can’t. I am so sorry for the hateful ignorance of so many people.
I havenât been able to watch this video. A friend recently asked if Iâd ever straighten my hair, which I havenât done in 16 years. The decision to wear my hair naturally is so personal and political and a reflection of who I am at my core that the THOUGHT caused me physical pain. https://t.co/EqpacPd4ZD
Remember when we Americans were breathlessly hoping for people to climb over, tunnel under, break through the Big Beautiful Wall Russia built in Berlin?
Walls, like the Iron Curtain and later the Berlin Wall, may be initially built to keep people and ideas out but then they exist to keep people in. Ideas filter in anyway. There should be no place in America for building such walls. It is profoundly wrong on many levels. The history of the 20th century should show us that.
GORGEOUS. This was one of the highlight of the year.
In February of 2018, @BarackObama and @MichelleObama became the first presidential couple to be painted by African American artists. Take a look back at the day the portraits were unveiled and hear directly from the artists about their process: pic.twitter.com/lTnI9YzidT

While @realDonaldTrump is causing chaos and shutting down the government for the 3rd time in his illegitimate presidency, @BarackObama is surprising children in the hospital and delivering gifts. Donald Trump will NEVER measure up to Barack Obama. pic.twitter.com/KvRR6PT4HQ

Goodnight, TODville. Tomorrow is another day.
If Trump and Pence resign I think the taxpayers will be willing to pay the $5 Billion for the wall;.
You absolutely MUST read this thread; will put a smile on your face…
Made me cry. We never know, do we?
This is how you approach a neighbor and fellow citizen, with respect and kindness.
Awww! Thatâs beautiful! Thanks for sharing this, jazziz! âLead with kindness.â
Okay, so am I the only one who thought: âWait… Sis only got one bra?â đ

She needs to be investigated!
Jill is Russian. I believe her parents immigrated here from Russia during the 1920s when we were discovering the Ussian illegals operation in the US. The best way to push back is by exposing the immigrant histories of Republicans.
Ussian = Russian
Yes she do need to be investigated, because if I’m not mistaken she was at that dinner in Russia with Michael Flynn.
As Nero fiddles.
Actually, Rev. Barber likened trump today as Herod. Better comparison.
LOVE THIS
I would jump out of the elevator and say hello, after I faint. Ha. Ha. Ha.
ha!!…this was so funny

Great!! My absolute pleasure! đ Isn’t it just ‘purrrrty’!!!
yes…very unique…i cant wait to share it with my daughter and granddaughter…thank you so much…
I want to see Regina King play Michelle Obama in the 3 or 4 part series about the Obama’s.
My vote is for Condola Rashad, broadway actress and daughter of Phylicia Rashad or Renee Elise Goldsberry the original Angelica Schuyler from Hamilton. However each has a lack of height problem: Condola is 5â8â and Renee is 5â7â.
Nice picture of our Forever POTUS44 and FLOTUS44.
Wellllllllllllllll!!
Might as well name a street after President Obama, he already owns the most space in trump’s head.
