"Black women are reliable [voters] because we are the victims of almost every perfidy exposed by our nation. We are the canaries who have lived in the coal mine, built nests there. We are the ones who will know first.” @staceyabramshttps://t.co/x8PWyEFNJG
Good late evening to you, df! Love the quote from Stacey Abrams!
And, Nerdy, even the way you titled this post – an incredible 2019 – brought us up and made us smile while here at TOD. Thank you for giving us another year to hang together, remembering when we had a couple in the White House who made us proud! Of course, they still make us proud! There’s that.
I’ve never been in a courtroom where the accused can unilaterally block witnesses from testifying or prohibit prosecutors from asking witnesses questions. Yet that's what Trump and McConnell are doing.
No court would let a trial to proceed this way—and neither should the Senate.

Republicans should not set a precedent that a President can simply ignore congressional subpoenas. The Senate should want the facts to come out and for key witnesses to testify. https://t.co/AFsutQcMLH

Big day in Knoxville today. We’ve had a female Democratic Mayor for 8 years. Today our new mayor and vice mayor were inaugurated. They are both female and both Dems. Also new city council sworn in and 7 out of 9 members are female. It’s also majority a Dem/progressive council. Pretty exciting. A spot of blue in this red area. 💙💙
Matt Gaetz says he didn't have gay sex at FSU. He also says he had nothing to do with the autoerotic asphyxiation death of a 29-year-old man during sex games involving cocaine. He also denied his father covered it up by having the body moved. If you are saying he did, stop.
Great photo! UPS should pay the photog and give the driver a paid stint as their model. So cute that his wife saw the photo and shared other pics of him in the thread.
He told me his priors were 1 grand larceny and 2 receiving stolen property. I could only locate the grand larceny from 1979. He did a year in prison for that conviction, and thinks he did about the same for the other crimes. "But I really can't remember," he said. 2/12

There are no perfect POTUS candidates. I’m concerned that folks are so tied to their fave (whether still running or not) that they’re committed to tearing down all others. You should absolutely have dealbreakers. But…
It will be interesting to see whether polling like this, if it continues, has any impact on Graham or other Republican Senators generally believed to be in safe or at least safe-ish seats. https://t.co/m2zbFaCAEd
Good morning! Up since 7. Ham is in the oven. Mushrooms are ready to be sauteed. Have prepared the dijon/horseradish/herb spread for encrusting the prime rib. Sweet potatoes are foil wrapped. All’s that’s left is to make the white sauce for the mac and cheese. Can’t believe that I’m on schedule!
“Donald Trump won Arizona by fewer than 92,000 votes in 2016. An estimated 271,000 more Latinos may cast ballots here next year, according to Latino Decisions — but only if local organizations have resources to conduct robust voter mobilization.” https://t.co/SrHnl2gWh4
Only in New Jersey does it take a *six-tweet thread* to summarize all of the political corruption charges we announced in a single week. But here we are.
Since Monday, we announced criminal charges against the following public officials and candidates:
Kamala’s campaign national press secretary. Also former Hillary Clinton spokesman.
We all tend to underestimate the coalition Biden has cobbled together this year.
While certainly dissimilar to Obama’s, it has been surprisingly durable—and it’s made up of loyal voting blocs that media coverage tends to under-index compared to, say, college-educated liberals. https://t.co/h1V2XmeDAn
Hi Meta, hope you are feeling much better these days, and are all set for the holiday celebrations.

Ever since Kamala dropped out this question has been running around my mind so I decided to ask about it as I didn’t know if it was possible or not at this level. I got an answer too. 🙂
An ignorant question I know but it keeps coming back to me – Couldn't@SenKamalaHarris be chosen on write-in ballots for the primary? I vaguely remember years ago Lisa Murkowski not being on the ballot in Alaska and winning as a write-in candidate …or something like that.
She could, but it would be super tough for any candidate to sustain enough momentum to become a write-in on enough ballots nationwide, especially when the money isn’t coming in as it did.
It’s not really feasible for Kamala to be a write-in candidate and score any major win. She really has a strong following but a national election is a constant slog and her staff have gone on to work for other campaigns. So there’s no major backing for her except for the KHive.
Yea, I got that from April’s response, and now from your extended explanation. Thanks. Hopefully now I won’t wake in the middle of the night with that thought running through my head. 😉 That’s the most frustrating thing about how my mind works when I’m supposed to be sleeping. If I don’t find a possible answer for whatever is plaguing me it keeps on during my sleeping hours. It’s for this very reason that I generally have to iron my work clothes for the week on the weekend, instead of lying there wondering *what* I’m going to wear should I be called in! :eyeroll:
I’ve noticed increased tweeting about the hope that if Biden were to win the nomination that he would choose Kamala Harris as a VP. But a couple of weeks ago he was asked about possible VP picks and his first response was Jeanne Shaheen. She’s a good person but that really leads me to believe he’s going for safest of safe white bread. It’s obviously his choice to make about who he will feel most comfortable with but it sure feels like an obvious mistake.
I’ve got my fingers crossed that if he gets the nomination, he’d definitely ask Kamala Harris to run as his VP.
Truthfully, I find the fact she’s been “super quiet” since she suspended from the race to mean that she’s leaving herself open to this.
Thanks Dear! She’s getting better. A disk is pressing on a nerve that causes pain from her hip down her leg. Pain meds, steroids and physical therapy are the plan. Hopefully that’ll work cuz she isn’t gonna agree to surgery after her friend with the same symptoms had surgery and ended up paralyzed. We moved her to rehab to help her get strong enough to walk again. Slow and steady progress.
Dudette, so sorry to hear about your Mom. As my Mom suffers a similar condition, I understand what your Mom and family are going through; you’re all in my prayers.
Mine too … I almost watched it today but since I have seen it so many many times in the past, I skipped it today. Classic feel good movie. Loved the music in it.
Every few days I find myself wondering, what's #JulianCastro up to. It's a damn shame he gets so little media, but I always find his twitter feed informative & substantive. This #BackOfTheBusPrimary has robbed qualified POC of a fair shot at the nomination but he'd get my vote. https://t.co/gYNgDLyUwY
One thing I can say about Biden, when one has experienced the amount of loss that he has, the amount of empathy one possesses is abundant. https://t.co/T2R4ESR1j7
The film “The Man Who Knew Infinity” is about him.
Born 132 years ago #Today, Srinivasa Ramanujan had almost no formal training in pure mathematics but made substantial contributions to analysis, number theory and continued fractions, including solutions to mathematical problems considered to be unsolvable https://t.co/DutZGcWFT5pic.twitter.com/IpfFt0fUko
No one is weaker (though Pompeo, Mulvaney, Miller and Barr are close). Hate, callousness and cruelty do not = strength. Kindness, compassion and empathy = strength. Trump is a stone cold coward. He will fail then he will fall. #JusticeIsComing Then➡️ #TrumpCrimesCommission#TCChttps://t.co/vIST5ADMfW

So sleepy tonight … but managed to stay up to see Eddie Murphy back on SNL after decades away! He’s still great. Goodnight, TODville!
I set the DVR:)
I’m watching this morning. What a great show! Love Eddie Murphy and the gal playing Kamala.
No comment…

The other person he named is Maggie Hassen. So super safe and mediocre.

Call me crazy, but that’s my hope.
Mom’s been in a hospital bed for 3 wks now. Looks like she’ll still be here on Christmas Day so we’ll be munching out here by her side. 🌲

LOL, there’s always one, huh? Hiya Dudette, TOD.
Hey E! 😆
Nobody told her she couldn’t, so yeah baby.
Good one. Can’t wait until she’s off the national scene.
Good Evening TODVille,
There is something strange about her. She acts as a mole. Now today she received praised from the man she is seeking to replace. How about that?
Very, very strange. Ugh.
