Hello everyone.
NW, thanks for the positive uplifting post … I don’t know about others but I need to breathe …. too much treason and corruption going on with the republicans
Way too much. Incredible. Twilight Zone material. This president might be a mole for all I know!
Congrats on your first!
I’m not alone I see
Google Tulsi/ Assad
This should be disqualifying
I’m a Nope on her, for sure!
Congrats, Global Citizen, Linda! IQ45 acts more and more like a Putin Puppet. NO on Tulsi.
Repeat on TOD. Just because I enjoy the song. Pardobly cos am trying to navigate this. Horrid in humans!
This senator from Montana has it exactly right.
amen!! Talk about a majority leader being bought paid for…
I agree Mitch McConnell need to go, just like Trump.This is not just Trump’s fault, it’s the fault of every single Republican who remain silent and allow Trump to do what he is doing. I can only hope that the people of Kentucky will wake up one day and get rid of McConnell. Also just look at what Lindsey Graham has become, it is pitiful.
Think I spotted earlier than furloughed federal workers are out rallying in Kentucky … not that McConnell would ever listen, since he probably thinks “federal employees are Democrats” like his horrible WH master thinks.
Now THAT’s what I’m talking about. Senator Tester no-holds-barred telling it like it is. LOVE it.
and yep McConnell is working at Trump’s behest. His excuse is Trump won’t pass the bill, but one way to resolve this life-threatening situation is for Trump to do nothing – then the bill becomes law after 10 days. But will Putin sign off on it?
Fact: McConnell has had Russian financial backing for quite some time.
This is an article form 2016…
I am now in sync with Bob…about Truth and Reconciliation…I am beginning to see other raise similiar issues….
“As the 2016 elections play out across America, it has become impossible to ignore just how fractured our country has become. Regardless of who wins the election, I fear we have gone too far down the road of anger and hate to heal as a nation, without some form of severe intervention or collective awakening.
What if we could establish a National Reconciliation Task Force? We could repurpose some of the same “hearts and minds” types of campaigns that we wage in war zones, deploy people to towns and cities across the country to host engagement sessions. Unfortunately, that would require government action, a departure point that is already laden with so much distrust that it would be impossible to convince much of the country to participate or believe in the intentions.”
I’m watching, she has the best panels of all the shows.
I’m watching AM Joy too and know wonder Trump has been attacking the FBI, the media since he got into the WH.
I’m convinced that Mueller has the goods on Trump and his entire junta.
Totally agree, but her show today pretty much even topped that qualifier! At the end of it, I actually determined that I didn’t need any other political updates, this snowy Saturday in Illinois … other than from TOD, of course!
here is the update about the young Saudi lady whose plight caught the global attention.
She was trying to get away from Saudi Arabia but her journey was then interrupted during her stop in Thailand.
Authorities in Thailand tried to get her back to Saudi authorities.
She locked her self in the hotel in the airport transit location and sought help from ordinary people on the ground and on social media.
Together with people from many parts of the world, many used Twitter and all tools to ask other countries’ diplomats and leaders to demand that they grant her asylum.
I posted her requests for help here a few days ago.

Understand his twin Joaquin offered to grow a beard during his presidency, if he’s elected, so people could tell them apart! ❤
…wondering if…
Declaring a “national emergency crisis’ was ever the default goal of the the GOP/Russia architects.
In a manufactured emergency chaos fallout, it’s possible to bend the Constitution in the dark of night. And besides the immense damage to U.S. National Security, there is the Trump persistent damage to our Economy. Perhaps after realizing that Dems have the upper hand going forward, the Koch/Russia default is to crash the United States economy. Thus creating a new economic global meltdown situation for the next president.
Highly possible. In fact, this goes to a number of tweets I have read that this shutdown may very well be directed by Putin for exactly what you say in your comment. Crash our economy, chaos, high unrest and distrust, etc. Never ending story for the GOP. It’s just bigger now and with the help of Putin/Trump, even bigger still and more damage can be done.
I wish the media would spend more time highlighting Mitch McConnell’s part in the government shutdown. He seems to be getting off blameless in this by collaborating with Trump and not doing his duty as Majority Leader of the Senate. Just like he did by not allowing a vote for Obama’s SC pick.
I have previously said the same thing here. We need to also focus like a lazor on mcconnell and his enabling republicans.
many people have fallen for the superficial announcement from “some republicans are breaking off from individual 1” but these end at the announcements/press statements. where is the backup in terms of actions?
We had a meeting at work about the shutdown, all in all the executive staff tried to do the best they could with the information that was decimated to them from Washington. Most if not all of my coworkers continue to show up to work, no one is showing any outward emotions or stresses about the shutdown, though we have been provided with resources to help us deal with the situation if needed. Even though I’m not getting paid I hope the Dems don’t give into Trump, I want them to stand strong.
Puppet/ Russian asset
See now this video came out even BEFORE the little Russian was elected. We’ve known this stuff for 2 years. Does it seem to you that it is being presented today as new info?
Julian Castro announced today that he’s running for President, this is going to be a wide open race.
Good Read…
As in duh:
“President Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, including on at least one occasion taking possession of the notes of his own interpreter and instructing the linguist not to discuss what had transpired with other administration officials, current and former U.S. officials said.”
https://www.politicususa.com/2019/01/12/trump-has-hidden-the-details-of-all-5-of-his-meetings-with-putin.html
Someone should explain to Lindsey that there is no “attorney/client” confidentiality between a US president and the head of a foreign, and usually oppositional, country.
Lindsey is bought and compromised
I am starting to believe Putin or Trump has something on Lindsey Graham. If President Obama had met with some foreign leader like that the entire Republican Party would have had a damn fit.
National Air Traffic Controllers Association sues government:
“over failure to pay members for work performed during shutdown. Seeks temporary restraining order for 5th amendment violation.”
‘The air traffic controllers, traffic management coordinators, and other excepted aviation safety professionals that NATCA represents remain on the job, dedicated to the safety of every flight, but they don’t know when they will receive their next paycheck. If not for the shutdown, NATCA members would have begun to receive direct deposit of their pay into their accounts as of this morning.”
https://natca.org/index.php/newsroom-member-side/news-archive/2661-natca-sues-government-over-failure-to-pay-members-for-work-performed-during-shutdown
Having just flew-ed, it did cross my mind about the unpaid folks in the towers making sure our plane didn’t crash midair. And all the unpaid TSA employees checking out passengers to keep us safe, shouldering national security responsibility while their families are neglected. It must be getting old. I hope they demand double time back pay. imo 1) there should be a special back up fund that covers federal workers during shutdowns, period. And 2) the President should not have the power to shut down our Government. The little russian must be brought to heel.
So cool!
Democrats have said that Trump’s strategy of a border wall would be ineffective in reducing crime and the flow of drugs, in part because of the ability to burrow under walls.
I sent this to McConnell, asking if he still stands by his man.
Claire’s getting into it.
Why is Tulsi Gabbard running, a waste of time.
Some type of self interest, no doubt.
Self interested for sure. She undoubtedly sees herself as the second Bernie, keeping the division he created and exploited (with Russia’s help) alive. It pains me to report that she has been called the most popular politician in Hawaii.
I’m sorry to hear that about her popularity in Hawaii! Hopefully, she’ll fade fast!
Thread. Really.
I think PP is destroying the US slowly for his foreign masters to take over.
You know who got played? Anybody and everybody who could have voted for HRC but chose not to. Well done PP!
Someone should stick foreign flags on the office doors of GOP elected officials. Especially the Turdmaster McConnell’s. To me his actions are not that of a normal / sane person. Dude is hiding something.
I am going to do my best to listen to and constructive messages from registered non-PBO-bashing Democratic presidential candidates. ….. This is 2019/20. My caution to all would be to avoid running their campaigns exactly like they are re-running 2016 ….. It is not always easy to avoid fighting the previous ‘war’
God only knows where all has been bugged in and around DC by PP’s masters.
Nullify 2016 results – make HRC President….disregard the sound of popping veins from the other side.
Remove illegal SC appointees.
If only
This is my prayer.
Okay, I will admit that I am now very suspicious of many things. Here is another. I have never been sastisfied with the explanation of why, pompeo, that lying scumbag and bootlicker of Individual 1 so quickly left the position as head of CIA. I suspected that the professionals at Langley saw through his pompus but oblivious to how empty his head truly is, the ease by which lies, and his treacherous devotion to Individual 1. He is another nunes who so badly wants to carry favors with traitor-in-chief that he would share with him information that they are keeping from him. Based on these, I think the Agency rejected him. The garbage he regugitated recently in Cairo reinforced my earlier suspicions. I truly despise that scumbag
No wonder that the professionals insisted that they wanted a career spy, who understands what they do, to be his replacement
Hard to sleep
More on her TL to make your hair stand up
JHC!!!
TRUTH
The whole damn party needs to be jailed.
UGH
My dear meta… now I see that you have joined me in my place of anxiousness…. too much mess. Dangerous mess. They all belong in jail.. including the ones that are complicit because they did and said nothing…thus condoning this dangerous behavior.
I need to get out of this place of unending rage. I feel like my spirit is callously assaulted every damn day. It’s disgusting, all of it.
I will keep repeating this:
here is hoping that it has occurred to the spy-hunters in Western countries that they should include the wife of Individual 1 among their counterintelligence investigation’s person of interest list.
maybe I have watched and read too many fictional spying stories ….
We know that not all spies are smart:
“Be Best”
Don’t think for one second that the spy hunters aren’t looking at babygirl.
No, no!!! I agree!!
Malcolm Nance who regularly appears on the Joy Reid show said a long time ago that the investigations taking place by the F.B.I and other U.S. agencies is nothing more than a spy hunt. When he said that the hair on the back of my neck stood up. And now we know that the F.B.I. at one point thought that the President of the United States of America was/is a Russian asset.
At one point? I think he IS a Russian asset now!
And now we know that the F.B.I. thinks that the President of the United States of America is a Russian asset.
Exactly
Whew! that was close.
A boycott of Tyson foods may be in order
Helsinki Press Conference doctored by WH:
“Putin answered a question in a way that many have interpreted as an admission that Russia had meddled in the 2016 U.S. elections.
But the White House transcript of the event omits the first half of the reporter’s question, changing the context and, therefore, the meaning of Putin’s answer to the question.” https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/07/18/heres-what-trump-and-putin-actually-said-in-helsinki/
Then there was the ‘would/wouldn’t’ Trump denial. Ru state tv routinely brags about owning Trump.
We know interactions were recorded solely by the Russians and are theirs to redact.
The obvious answer is ‘Yes, and he continues to this day to serve only one master, Putin’ ….

Hopefully they’ll support whomever the Democrat nominee is.
How empty must your life be that you’ll go into Joshua tree national park and start cutting down tress?
Honestly, it sickens me. I’ve been to that park and it’s an astonishing wonder of nature. I can’t stand people who disrespect the environment.
New post.
