What ho my TOD Peeps! In case anyone is looking for the 1619 project published in the New York Times Magazine yesterday (Sunday Aug 18), here is link to a PDF of the full magazine. I went looking for the Sunday NY Times yesterday afternoon in my neck of the woods in LA, and could not find nary a copy. It was sold out everywhere I went–which I’m taking as a positive sign that folks were out here getting to learn more of our American history.
The fire is back! Way to go Beto!!! Last election (2016) thousands of Native Americans were not allowed to voted because they had a PO Box! Lots of Native Americans that live on reservations only have PO Boxes!
Native Americans…not allowed to vote because of “new voting” laws. If I was rich I would of taken up that issue and had it fixed. Disgraceful what these people have been through and continue to go through.
I hope Beto keeps up his Fire! We need that in our candidates.
You got me excited, for sure! Suppressing the vote of Native Americans is unfreakinbelievable. If any of the guilty parties believe in hell, they should consider that their ticket in. Grrrr.
I used to own a Thelma & Louise denim jacket from when the movie was released more than a couple of decades ago … got rid of it by dopping it off at a local Goodwill not too long ago.
Lol Job … I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near the woman.
I still can’t get over her action / expression at the D convention. I think I read somewhere that she voted for Stein … these are the morons responsible for kids in cages.
Twitter and Facebook announced they found and removed a large network of Chinese government-backed accounts spreading disinformation about the protests in Hong Kong.
This is just one example of how authoritarian regimes use social media to manipulate people, at home and abroad. https://t.co/PB2W4iehxr
“This is just one example of how authoritarian regimes use social media to manipulate people, at home and abroad. ” My oh my….just reading that statement I was thinking the authoritarian regimes they were talking about were Russia and the USA.
Too bad Americans have not mounted such a response as these protestors in Hong Kong.
"Biden, Sanders, Warren, they are in a battle for the liberal Democrats. But [Biden] is running away with the moderate conservative vote," @DavidChalian analyzes the new CNN national poll on the 2020 Democratic presidential race.https://t.co/zk4MSHMoHRpic.twitter.com/kLEyP4dZIP
Good Morning TODville Community.
The above Poll different from the NBC/WSJ and the Fox poll numbers.
#FORWARD
I will Vote for any Dem, with one exception…..Bernie Sanders. He will ONLY get my Vote if The Dotard will win again. Sorry, but that is how I feel.
For awhile I wanted Biden and Harris. Now I am thinking Biden and Warren. I still am closer to being a moderate as compared to a far left liberal although I support many of the very liberal ideals. I think Biden at the top will give stability and familiarity to the ticket and help us gain back world respect. A competent woman in the VP position sitting in and advising and given an active role as Biden was as VP could prepare them for a successful run the next election in 2024. Do not misunderstand me I know The women are ready, but it may take longer for some Americans to accept this. As I write that I reject my own words as I heard that when Obama ran, but then I said to those saying that the time for change is now and the best way to do it is to just do it. I think I hesitate this time due to my any Dem over Trump thinking. I still do not support Sanders, Gabbard, or Williamson unless they are the only ones left.
Good West Coast morning Nena, NW, and TOD family. I agree Nena, and will do all I can to keep Sanders from raising to the top.
My caregiver is a lovely young woman in her mid 30’s from Honduras and I’ve been discussing politics with her and encouraging her to become informed. She and her family & friends are now on Team Biden. It made me happy that she listened and did her research and came to her own conclusion. The minority vote is crucial !

“Donald Trump and the Republican Party hate America: It’s time to say it.”
“For most of modern political history, the Republican Party has used patriotism —
an odd and obfuscating sentimentality — as a weapon to shame critics of American foreign policy, and turn the general public against dissidents who reject the folly of Empire maintenance through violence.
Samuel Johnson’s excoriation — made famous by Bob Dylan — that “patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels” always seemed accurate in both its denunciation of the manipulative emotion itself, and also of those who take advantage of it for political expediency. America…where the scoundrels are so brazen in their inhumanity, so bold in their indifference to suffering, and so barbaric in their refusal to compromise for the sake of their own country…
President Donald Trump, his enablers in Congress and his most devoted supporters are anti-American and
soft on terrorism.”
“Hatred for American cities, racist hostility toward black and Hispanic citizens, the soft-on-terror mishandling of the white supremacist threat, even as it creates a large body count, the coddling of the gun industry, no matter how many innocent Americans die as a result, and the failure to preserve the integrity of free elections all culminate to create a picture of 21st-century anti-Americanism.”

Surviving Benito means in 2019 domestic white nationalist terrorists are “good people”. And a list of dire

Racism, the power of whiteness is extraordinary. For some of our citizens it defines who they are and they cling to it.i do not know if it can truly be weeded out.

you are so right..but I am not really gleeful about it…because although it hurts them ….it will hurt all of us eventually…and because that white privilege goes deeeeeeeep…they will go down with the ship rather than get into the lifeboat with the rest us…
“they will go down with the ship rather than get into the lifeboat with the rest us…”
Yep, like I said many times before, to some people it matters a great deal who saves them. President Obama faced that same problem, here he was trying to save people by basically throwing them a lifeline, but their racism would not allow them to be saved by a black man. Unfortunately trying to reach them is also a waste of time and energy because their hated is ingrained in them.
Senator Chris Murphy: “The mythology in the Republican party that if you cross the NRA you will lose a primary election or lose a general election against the Democrat. That’s just not true. It’s never been true. The NRA has never been as powerful as Republicans think they are. Today the NRA is in absolute chaos. Their board is in meltdown. People aren’t signing up to be members of the NRA and the way they used to. So, there is no risk in crossing the gun lobby today and there really wasn’t much of a risk five or ten years ago. But that perception of power the gun lobby has stopped a lot of Republicans from crossing that bridge and standing with the 90% of their constituents that want universal background checks.”

I am especially tired of her. I have quite listening to so many. I can only take so much of all of this. Truthfully there are only 4 shows I listen to at all anymore. Other than them I come here listen to alot of music and listen to many books. I can only take so much stress. When the main campaign comes I will campaign like crazy.
1. Welcome to today's edition of the WH daily #shadowbriefing. The only briefing in town so you better take it seriously even if we don't. Please excuse our August schedule. Sometimes even we get a little tired of talking about @realDonaldTrump But not today!
“If Boris Johnson seriously believes the US will shower rewards on Britain after leaving the EU he is mistaken.”
Even as “Trump’s trade war and economic policies are increasing the risk of a global recession, and threaten the very integrity of the UK amid growing signals that Northern Ireland and Scotland would consider breaking away.” (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/aug/20/donald-trump-uk-trade-brexit-chaos-boris-johnson-us-eu)
Eh well sounds familiar…after 3 years of manufactured hell on wheels the British public are aghas and hypnotized (when they could push for a 2nd referendum)…have been conned into spectating their demise…while another lying trumpy empty suit following orders pretends he knows how to handle their economy.
Totally random post! 😇 It was thundestorming on my commute home this evening. Then radio DJ played this number & had me jamming right along. Sure lessened my commute stress! 😂
Shelia, I believe that the press normalized Trump by responding to every single tweet. They never gave him any reason to quit. I now believe that they play way to many clips of his nonsense; especially at his rallies.
Thank you! I have my own B.B. King story (it’s all about me). Once I was traveling with my Mother, going south on I-75 in Florida, in the late ’90s. A bus whizzed by and I noticed it was his tour bus! Told my Mother and I decided to follow it, because there was a rest stop coming up and I was planning a “meeting.” Ha. But the bus zoomed ahead and tore off onto the exit ramp for the rest stop and that made me think twice, because I was so very tempted to break all speed limits to try to get a look at him. I calmed down since who knew if he were on the bus or not (or just his traveling crew) and so we continued to head south and not stop. But, truth be told, I always regretted not catching up with him, so I could at least try to shake his hand! Ha. The end.
I have a few such brushes (Ha!), and another favorite was the unexpected hug I got from Ossie Davis when I was introduced to him at an awards event connected to my job working for the Navy. Also once in the late ’60s, my BF and I met the country singer Ray Price while he was on break and sitting in his car in the parking lot. Let’s just say that although he apparently was stoned beyond belief, he went back in to the venue and sang like an angel. Ha. Okay, I’ll stop with the ancient stories. 🙂
Good for Brian Williams. Taking on the lead in the water in Newark – and the fact the city can’t deliver the heavy packs of water to the homes, thus making residents (young and old) pick it up. Disgusting.
@11thHour Thank you for continuing to emphasize the inhumane treatment of citizens of Newark, New Jersey, related to their water crisis and the lack of services provided to them at their residences. Keep it up! #CleanWaterIsARight
I thought we were done with this junkyard dog (no offense to junkyard dogs).
Christie's another one trying to redeem himself after being attached at the hip to trump for years. Ugh. Won't work. Plus, he'd never be able to keep up the civility mantra for more than a couple months.
I'm proud to earn the endorsement of Mark Macarro, Tribal Chairman, Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians. As President, I will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our Native communities to solve the challenges they face & ensure our nation respects the sovereignty of Tribal governments. pic.twitter.com/gQm2PzCEoQ
Today Trump said that Jewish people who vote for Democrats are disloyal. Disloyal to whom? I'm Jewish. My aunts were killed in the Holocaust. In their memory, I am proudly disloyal to Trump and the racist hatred he incites and inspires. #DisloyalToTrumphttps://t.co/4Wem9Gqgwp
Denmark has lost 43 soldiers in Afghanistan. If you're keeping score at home, that's 43 more people than have served in uniform from the president*'s family.
This is Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark. She told Trump to shove his desire to buy Greenland up his ass and is now bing rewarded by not having to meet him. That is a great example of a strong woman beating Trump. Take notice how easy it is.
Before departing, hope all of you took note that Rep Lauren Underwood (who is a Freshman Congresswoman because she beat a Republican) became the 126th Member to support Impeachment. Critically, she cites Vol 1 of the Mueller Report.
