Good Morning, TODville Community.
Thank you, NW☺😍😍☺👒💁♀️
Congrats, Dudette on your Au ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’m crossing my fingers & hoping that after 4pm EDT, Speaker Pelosi & Dems will finally be on the road to Impeach the MFer illegally occupying the White House.
🙏💪🙏
Hi Nena! Thanks!
thinks he can get everything he wants by cheating, lying and extorting. Greta is the real deal.
MoscowMitch lied: Said he wouldn’t consider Garland because it was PBO’s last year in office. In fact
Supreme Court vacancies in the last year of office have happened 24 times and the Senate confirmed 21 of them. May progressives offer an alternative vision while exposing the cons for what they are.
Good morning, TODville – and thank you for the new post, Nerdy darlin’ !!!
Mad King Doom has a lucid moment with some pretty words.
e.g. “Humanity begins at home”.
Evan McMullin to O’Donnell:
“I think this is something I got used to seeing overseas where you have a dictator come to power and commit a bunch of crimes in the process or commit them while in power. And then as a result of that, become vulnerable to political or legal consequences should they ever lose power. And so it becomes all the more important that they hold on to power and they`re willing to take even bigger risks or make even more egregious or illegal or unethical or just downright evil moves in order to stay in power because, for them, their freedom, their lives in some cases depend on it. (Of course here in the United States, the president`s life isn`t at risk as it might be in a third-world country.)…And so he`s going to fight harder and harder and harder, and he`s going to be willing to break all kinds of laws and ethical norms in order to stay in power. And especially now, Lawrence, I have to say I think it`s just clear to me that the president is now emboldened after 2016 where he received foreign help, where he encouraged that publicly to happen.”
McMullin: “After the Mueller investigation which has been turned over the results, to the American people and to Congress, he`s not really being held accountable yet, at least by Congress….And so, he`s going to be willing to do I think almost anything including using the powers of his office of the American presidency to not only welcome foreign assistance but to compel it, to coerce it and that`s what we see him doing with Ukraine…” O’Donnell then reminded that before the Ukraine phone call(s), Trump told Stephanopoulos he’d accept interference in our elections. Regarding information from a foreign country, Trump said:
“I would take it”.
I have always thought Eval McMullin was a much more honest Repub than Mitt Romney. Too bad he isn’t the Senator from Utah!

Greetings, TOD!
Stand back, everyone. There will be significant blowback.
No one is above the law, not even the President of the United States.
Check your registration and encourage your friends and family too!
And this won’t need Koch approval taxation:
“Xóchitl’s solar heater contains a “15-meter black hose, 10 PET bottles that she painted black, plastic cable ties, a wooden base, black nylon and recycled glass.” Xóchitl says she used the glass doors of a broken cooler to create a greenhouse effect. The solar heater is installed on her home’s rooftop.”
–How simply wondrous.
I know right?
Chairman Schiff:
“Why doesn’t the president simply release the transcript of that call? And I don’t know whether the whistleblower complaint is on this allegation, but if it is, and even if it isn’t, why doesn’t the president just say,
release the whistleblower complaint?”
Concludes:
“….I raised with President Zelensky my concern that if he were to do the political bidding of the President, that it would damage his credibility in the United States. If the Ukrainian President were to become a political actor in a U.S. election, that would damage his legitimacy. And right now he enjoys broad-based support from Republicans and Democrats. He assured me he had no intention to get involved in the 2020 election. He understood the damage that could be done to Ukraine and his Administration if they did answer these demands from the Trump Administration. But at the time I did not understand that those demands were coming from the (U.S.) President himself.”
OK now go for a new Referendum.
The first one was only preliminary, the win minuscule, and the Farage-Johnson LIES enormous.
UK! Expose fully the russia-bannon interference!
GO DUDETTE…!! FAB!!
Hi brp! 😊
Thanks for posting this Nena!
I’m listening to Terry Gross has a great interview with him on NPR Fresh Air too!

he really is an extraordinary writer
Yes he is
☺😍🙌
Haha! Badass 👑
Timeline of Trump whistleblower complaint:
(https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/462464-timeline-the-trump-whistleblower-complaint)
= The White House must release the whistleblower complaint to Congress.
WaPo:
“The complaint involved multiple actions.”
And “a promise”.
cannot rely on content of phone transcript released by Doom WH.
I agree as it could be “faked”, redacted or recreated based on past behaviors.
I think Speaker Pelosi has always been for impeachment, this latest outrage by trump wasn’t the straw that broke the camels back, rather it was the final straw that broke the camels back.
After this impeachment decision is made, Democrats should be in front of the cameras constantly, so that this criminal do not steal the narrative with his lies.
THIS. ^^^^^^. Sadly, something they have never been good about and, more importantly (and wrong and frustrating), the media doesn’t allow them that opportunity like they do the Rs.
It doesn’t matter if the phone call is the end all or not, all the other crimes he’s committed will be prosecuted as well.
Now what is so delicious will be all those trump sycophants that went before congress and prostrated themselves, they now must hope that trump will save them. Trump is now huddled with his lawyers trying to figure out which one or more of his lackeys will be served up to keep the castle from being stormed. All over D.C. criminal defense lawyers are smiling, billable hours, here we come.
Yup.
Indeed, Don.
Burr is a sneaky one, I hope Warner don’t let this fucker sweep shit under the rug.
DEMS pls meet with whistleblower before Doom brigade does evil incantations over her/him.
NOW: Joe Biden delivers remarks on whistleblower report – https://abcnews.go.com/Live/video/speciaL-live-3
I think they’ve always had the facts.
Chairman Schiff says the whistleblower wants to speak to House Intelligence Committee and has requested guidance from the Acting DNI Maguire…
(https://thehill.com/homenews/house/462829-schiff-says-whistleblower-wants-to-speak-to-house-intel-panel)
Meanwhile…after saying the complaint was both urgent AND credible, Maguire “exploited a loophole in order to overrule the intelligence community watchdog”.
