Good morning; TOD
Everyone talking and shouting about the Buzzfeed article. #45 trying to distract again with lies about an advancing caravan while #Impeach and #president pelosi are trending.
With a total lunar eclipse, notably a Blood Wolf Moon, no less, here is some inspirational work to help restore balance to Mother Nature!
DF ~ I know you couldn’t make it last year, but maybe this year! My daughter will be there as an ambassador with the Apex Team again… all so beautiful!
Big hugs, TOD, keep You The Heart. I predict the Special Council has a file cabinet full of indictments, history making. We will survive this and be stronger for it. Bless you all. ♥️
The Republican Party, right now, knows deep down Donald Trump should be impeached and removed from office. They're on their phones gauging sentiment and support to decide if they should do their jobs. That's the reality of the situation and it's disgusting.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi gives a thorough statement about the ramifications and extreme risk inherent in Trump leaking the details of the Congressional delegation trip to a war zone: https://t.co/QYziABwvmI
Nixon resigned in 1974, I was eight years old at the time and I don’t remember a thing about his resignation or that time frame. I assume it was probably as crazy as it is now, but the only difference is that Nixon might have had more of a conscious and a certain level of respect for our institutions than trump has, but I don’t know.
For one thing, the politics of adhering to the Constitution over party was a real thing back then. Nixon was a crook and people faced that. We also had real journalists who dug deep into the central questions and were not money-making machines owned by the GOP, so we got real information instead of horserace tit for tat. The hearings were on TV and they were honest to goodness fact finding missions rather than party posturing and protecting the guilty. SO, it was very, very absorbing and you felt like you were getting at the truth. When Nixon resigned, it was really, really something.
So true. I was in college at the time. This was serious and weighty. No one was shouting deep state conspiracy or bank rolling polls in support of Nixon. I remember the day he resigned, unrepentant but out of options.
That August 1974 I was heading to college. All during the final six months of my senior year in high school we watched the Watergate hearings in our Government class. Back then all seniors had to take a full year of Government. It was the best lesson on how our government worked. Back then Republicans had principles not like today. Since Newt Gingrich and Raygun the Rethugs decided it was better to be thugs to stay in power.
Thanks for the reminder about how much of civics and government were required to graduate from high school. In California, anyway.
I sincerely hope that the Trump-Russia investigation in Congress is televised in the same way the Watergate hearings were. People rushed home at night to watch them and learned everything about what was happening so that when it came time to resign, Nixon knew he was cornered and had no choice.
Me too. With the Internet people can watch or listen online. Those that get their news filtered through Faux Noise will get to hear what an awful traitor they elected.
I was older – and looking in from outside – but I NEVER thought Nixon would end treaties with US allies, never thought he would bring his own country to its knees and never thought he was a traitor to his country.
Being born after the end of WWII, trump is the political disaster of my lifetime. It is horrifying to watch from afar, no idea what it is like close up.
Journalist Noor Tagouri was ‘devasted’ when Vogue misidentified her as Pakistani actress Noor Bukhari.
But she says she isn’t surprised: "Misrepresentation and misidentification is a constant problem if you are Muslim in America.” https://t.co/FArTw7zZH8
It’s heartbreaking to watch this video, to see the moment Noor deflates when her dream of being in Vogue is ruined by ignorance and misrepresentation. We have so much more work to do. Love you, sister https://t.co/0xiPPRoXhW
This has happened to @NTagouri so many times before, not least of all when she was falsely identified as the wife of the Pulse shooter, which put her life in danger, all because she has the same name https://t.co/U6wI6ylFWg
— New Super Blood Wolf Moon Bros. U Deluxe (@GenePark) January 17, 2019
Come on @voguemagazine – this woman is changing lives and narratives for Muslims and women around the world, and yet y’all got the most basic thing wrong — HER NAME. But y’all got the designers’ names right. Oh, also wrong? HER RACE. Are all Muslim women interchangeable? https://t.co/9N1zBcbeZ8
Its par for the course and its worst than misrepresentation. Those that are in power do not have to go out and truly learn about those that are not in power. Go watch an episode of “Jeopardy,” and let one of the topics be African American History, you can almost hear an audible grown coming from the audience. The same contestant that can tell you how many dresses Marie Antoinette had in her entire life can’t tell you a goddamn thing about the “Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.” The contestant that can win a million dollars on Jeopardy can’t even tell you what a “Que Dog” is or what fraternity he’s a member of. It is an arrogance, an arrogance that is blessed with ignorance.
Sadly, contempt and disgust describes my thinking of my coworkers that voted for trump. I do not look them in the eye when I’m talking to them because I haven’t mastered the fine art of totally dismissing a motherfucker while carrying on a conversation with a motherfucker.
transitions,
can’t really explain why now or why i want to say this. I could be wrong be it seemed to me that our precious Rachel Maddow was recovering from
a migraine last night? She works unfathomably hard and delivers everything with such spirit that she keeps amazing me. Myself I experienced incapacitation for days with serial migraines and other physical /neural symptoms for a decade and a half. Finally traced it to fluorescent lighting. Some fluorescent lighting is brutal. Although our fab library for example, has put in a pretty high-end fluorescent and masked the effects as well. Schools don’t do that. (I had headaches at school.) So this mom couldn’t go into shops without major consequences. Forget restaurants. Flying was kept to a minimum. Ibuprofen, dark glasses, always the baseball cap. Caffeine and cover the eyes, try to sleep if it’s coming on. I actually went blind or lost literally half = one side of what I was looking at. Affected by hormonal ebbs and flows…wouldn’t wish it on anyone. By literally miraculous means I’m OK now. Sometimes feel tired after one trip to the supermarket, still wear the cap. Can even eat out.
Tempus fugit eh…so thank you TOD.
I worked in a building that had such awful fluorescent lighting that it seemed the room was yellowish brown. The carpets were brown and the lighting was yellow. When I went out in the afternoon for lunch it was so bright I got a headache. I was the worst experience I have ever had.

Dunne, who advocated the Fitzgerald membership, provided the details. Obama had just hit his approach shot 20 feet from the hole. Fitzgerald stepped up with an 8-iron and jarred it."
It's considered one of the hardest 18th handicap holes you could find in golf. Fitzgerald, playing to a 10.7-handicap, hit 8-iron from 162 yards. Eye witnesses described the ball rolling in like a putt. Among the high fives was the one coming from the 44th President of the U.S.
Howdy my friend from up North! …before I start (I just misspelled ven …venn diagram and I was terrified because I had just seen my notifications from my last post)…never want to disappoint Ms. VC!

Retired Gen. Michael Hayden, former director of the CIA and NSA, retweeted this:
For what it's worth, I was head of CIA's Counter Terrorism Americas branch from 2007-2009.

Who is in your top 10 list of Badass American Women of the 21st century (so far)? Who are the women who are kicking in doors, cracking glass ceilings, showing up and showing out for themselves and for all of us. Warrior Queens, Sages, Scribes, Bards, Wise Women, Earth Mothers, and Empresses. Who are those in training who are becoming phenomenal women?
Have fun!
Yes. And Nancy Smash can cancel the wasteful “new contract” trump put out to change the colors of AF1 (after all, President Obama had these colors and he can’t have that) – and probably adding a MAGA bird splotch on the top of it. Ugh.
From the link: "100% of The Late Show's profits from this mug will benefit World Central Kitchen, which is feeding federal workers going unpaid during the government shutdown. It also works as a mug even if you do get paid. Buy a lot of them!"
Whatever ends up being the case about the Buzzfeed story, it sure is interesting to see the president and all of his supporters so eager to accept as fact the statement put out by the special counsel’s office.
This was the plan all along. The useful idiot is making their dreams into reality . I hope that our institutions hold and the people wake up to the reality
These are rich times for the enemies of the United States. They can sit back and watch as the man occupying the White House & his party—in their greed, cruelty & hostility to democracy, diversity & government itself—fuel division & further weaken our institutions.
Samuel Jackson said “Patriotism is the last refuge of a Scoundrel,” I would feel a whole lot better if trump and his junta’s actions were to benefit America, I mean that would make sense. But what they are doing is to the detriment of America. I can’t tell you the last time the word “Patriot” came out of the White House.
For my theory to hold true, Putin had to know he was going to win despite the fact that all the polls and analysis said this was a nearly impossible. Here, we run into the crux of Robert Mueller’s investigation. In order for Putin to ensure success, he would have had to know exactly which states would miraculously swung to Donald Trump in 2016, breaking up the Democrats’ supposed invincible “blue wall.” We saw Trump campaign vigorously in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin despite him being down significantly in the polls just a week before the election. Many at the time attributed this campaign decision to Trump trying to connect with the White working-class voters. But we now know that the election came down to 78,000 votes in those three states. What exactly did the Trump campaign know that nobody else did?
I firmly believe that when all is said and done, Robert Mueller will have uncovered that there was election hacking and vote altering. If true, this would be the greatest scandal in world history. We would have an official usurper in the Oval Office, a man installed by a foreign power through illegitimate means.
DITTO HERE..TREASON IN TRUMP AND PUTIN’S SEASON!..WE MUST ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ARE IN THE BIBLICAL JUDGMENT OF NATIONS AND GOD ALLOWS THINGS TO HAPPEN FOR HIS PURPOSE..IT’S CALLED REDEMPTION FOR A GREEDFUL AND MATERIALISTIC SOCIETY FILLED WITH SELF CONSUMPTION AND A COMPLETE LACK OF EMPATHY..GOD NOTICED.
Trump and his hideous campaign want the public to think the late break in those states was due to their brilliance. You know, all the people who now can’t even run a lemonade stand. But the truth is likely closer to Manafort and Putin’s henchmen undermining a free and fair election. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that this is massive election fraud created via a cyber incursion by a hostile foreign enemy, aided and abetted by the Trump Crime Syndicate. Too many individual facts now in evidence defy any other sort of interpretation.
yanno meta….this was putin all the way…Trump was a dunce that followed the scent of money…but he knew what was happening…i donot think that he expected Putin to be successful….
this is what was happening to McConnnell…he knew too what was happening…but it did not matter to him…
I agree also. And I think that McConnell is very involved. He’s been avoiding contact with the media and with any other human beings for weeks now. He’s tied to Trump at the hip. I remember that election night so well. We were so shocked, especially at the states’ which gave the election (via the outmoded Electoral College) to Trump. Nothing made sense at all.
I wish the recounts had proceeded. In fact, I think that, when one political party requests a recount, it should happen automatically and should be paid for by the state involved. It’s about time that we held elections with results we can all believe in. Why not go back to paper ballots? Who cares if the final results are not known until the following day? It didn’t matter in the old days and the television networks can just get used to it.
Many years ago, my mother was an election officer in our precinct in PA. There were frequent recounts at that level before the tallied vote numbers were turned in. Election officers cared about accuracy. Nothing so important as an election should be treated as trivially as it is now. There should be NO ROOM for meddling – by one of the political parties (think Florida in 2000) or by a foreign power (think 2016).
Thousands of federal workers are being put in impossible situations — working without pay for multiple paychecks. That means missing mortgage payments for their homes, taking out more loans to send their kids to college, or worse. We can’t let this go on. pic.twitter.com/AlIggH01D5
A tearful Miguel Pagarigan tells @GavinNewsom he has to sell his house because he's run out of money. But he still gets up at 2am to go work for the #TSA: "You go to work because that's your job. We don't want another 9/11. It's not gonna happen on my watch." #GovernmentShutdown
Arizona: Four women convicted after leaving food and water in desert for migrants….”the first conviction against humanitarian aid volunteers in a decade” https://t.co/2ZCtPvwWfa
Honest to god. These heartless people need to be gone. You can not even imagine the searing, relentless desert heat… to deny these people water, is wishing death on them… which is the point, I suspect
FWIW my take as a former government spokesman: the statement from the Special Counsel's office tonight is not a full-throated denial of the @BuzzFeed story, but a way of saying to the public: "the arc of the story has merit but we disagree with the nuance."
Trump will make a major announcement. It will be racist as hell & intended to scare the ever loving shit out of old people. He hopes it’ll make everyone forget he’s a criminal, traitor, & creating actual breadlines over a wall he told y’all Mexico would pay for.
UNLESS HE IS FULL STOP RESIGNING, I don’t give a shit what he has to say. I’m so sick of the grotesque manipulation by these monsters. He’s making a public statement because he’s wants the attention to spew more hatred but also because McConnell needs a public record because he can’t depend on his vile liar.
Why do I think this woman will soon be found dead from choking on a chicken bone.

I don't offer this as news, but a hopefully valuable rumination: I hear many saying, including some with access to smart people, that Mueller's objection to the Buzzfeed News story may've been based in part on Trump issuing a directive to Cohen *via intermediary*.
Indian Country Today has details on the elder in that viral video.
His name is Nathan Phillips, a Vietnam veteran who holds a regular ceremony for Native American veterans buried at Arlington National Cemetery. https://t.co/hpx8YUUqLu
At the rallies I reported from I’d see these kinds of boys and men trying on openly-racist and sadistic personas, sheepishly looking for approval from their friends, and then turning up the volume as soon as they got it.
I was horrified when I watched the clip. A large gang of well dressed, well off, spoiled young men were taunting and mocking and encroaching upon the Native American elder as he performed a tradition ritual at Arlington National Cemetery. They should all have been ashamed of themselves. They looked like Hitler Youth at their worst! What kind of parents and teachers have these young men had in their lives? And such behavior at a national military cemetery should never be allowed!
If Speaker Pelosi determines it will be a good tactic to offer fuckface SOMETHING, because of the optics, skewed media coverage, etc. I suggest this: A non-partisan commission will be created by the speaker to study border security. The commission will issue recommendations in December 2020 to be implemented per the then president’s discretion on or after 02/01/2021. We know an independent commission of experts will not recommend a stupid effin wall. This offer will be a one-time and final offer.

I assume it was probably as crazy as it is now, but the only difference is that Nixon might have had more of a conscious and a certain level of respect for our institutions than trump has, but I don’t know.
It was a mess, Don. Some of us had FBI records from protests we’d been involved with.
Today, we look back on that and the episode with Clinton. We had nothing of the sort at that time.
But we did have four dead in Ohio.
For one thing, the politics of adhering to the Constitution over party was a real thing back then. Nixon was a crook and people faced that. We also had real journalists who dug deep into the central questions and were not money-making machines owned by the GOP, so we got real information instead of horserace tit for tat.

With news earlier this week that Rick Gates is up in Mueller’s studio producing albums, this week is a week that trump will truly remember.
I like your description of what Gates is doing!

You and I are on the same page. This is EXACTLY what I think happened
Same here. Have felt it was something like this from the night of the election. As we’ve learned more, my thoughts affirmed.

Election officers cared about accuracy. Nothing so important as an election should be treated as trivially as it is now. There should be NO ROOM for meddling – by one of the political parties (think Florida in 2000) or by a foreign power (think 2016).
UGH
Honest to god. These heartless people need to be gone. You can not even imagine the searing, relentless desert heat… to deny these people water, is wishing death on them… which is the point, I suspect
The level of cruelty here is unbelievable.
It surely is. It is unfathomable
The sadism runs deep and is being peddled like candy.
SO MANY HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR TRYING TO ASSIST IMMIGRANTS..IT IS AGAINST GOD’S LAW AND GOD WILL REPLY..IT’S HEARTBREAKING!
WOW…this is where we are today
That’s been my personal thinking from the minute I read it. Also may be trying to protect its investigation.
Yes…
UNLESS HE IS FULL STOP RESIGNING, I don’t give a shit what he has to say. I’m so sick of the grotesque manipulation by these monsters. He’s making a public statement because he’s wants the attention to spew more hatred but also because McConnell needs a public record because he can’t depend on his vile liar.
Whatever he says is not meant to comfort a weary nation, but to prepare his base for something more sinister.
My stomach hurts. Because I know you’re right.
Why do I think this woman will soon be found dead from choking on a chicken bone.
Good gracious, read through thread! 😱

JHC, oh really?
Deplorables being deplorable.
I was horrified when I watched the clip. A large gang of well dressed, well off, spoiled young men were taunting and mocking and encroaching upon the Native American elder as he performed a tradition ritual at Arlington National Cemetery. They should all have been ashamed of themselves. They looked like Hitler Youth at their worst! What kind of parents and teachers have these young men had in their lives? And such behavior at a national military cemetery should never be allowed!
Speaker Pelosi, No wall. You make deal with hostage takers, they will take hostages again. Debt ceiling is coming up soon.
If Speaker Pelosi determines it will be a good tactic to offer fuckface SOMETHING, because of the optics, skewed media coverage, etc. I suggest this: A non-partisan commission will be created by the speaker to study border security. The commission will issue recommendations in December 2020 to be implemented per the then president’s discretion on or after 02/01/2021. We know an independent commission of experts will not recommend a stupid effin wall. This offer will be a one-time and final offer.
New post.
