Not that they are racist…but they believe the stakes are high..and although he is what we say he is…they believe that he can beat Trump…and that is where the bar is now…for me ..it is all pathetic..that this is where we are now..after a primary that held such promise
This is a dangerously disturbing world view. Dangerous for me, my two sons and millions more just like us. Most troubling is that this sounds like a philosophy, not a singular policy. We need more than an apology. We need answers… pic.twitter.com/CPo8g1h9Eb
I want to live in a world where we don’t look at young people like potential criminals. Because while you’re looking for kids like my son? You miss my daughter’s murderer.
May we gather as a community and honor the potential in ALL our youth.
Dwyane Wade on being a supportive parent to his child Zaya: “Once Zaya…first, Zion … Zion, born as a boy, came home and said, ‘Hey, so I want to talk to you guys. I think going forward, I’m ready to live my truth. And I want to be referenced as she and her." pic.twitter.com/jXvcbWpubr
PLEASE don't get your ass dragged today tryna be cute for clout behind Zaya. First and foremost, she is a child. Second, we ride hard for Gab because she rides hard for us. Third, you wouldn't dare pop off in DWade's face, so don't do it here.
Meet Zaya. She's compassionate, loving, whip smart and we are so proud of her. It’s Ok to listen to, love & respect your children exactly as they are. Love and light good people. pic.twitter.com/G2lLVdD2VT
Gender nonconforming children deserve to be heard, loved, and supported in their authenticity. @DwyaneWade + @itsgabrielleu continue to demonstrate phenomenal parenting with their love for Zaya! https://t.co/2OCsKPWN5m
My wonderful and on-point Governor had words of encouragement:
Yes. Yes. Yes. Zaya — thank you for being unconditionally you!! You inspire so many across this country (and across this world) to live their lives out loud. Never stop speaking up and speaking out!

It is astounding to learn the extent to which some people refuse to take time to learn about the candidates at this crucial time in the nation’s history.

WE MUST HANG TOGETHER! Do NOT get tribal, please—- PLEEEEASE! Let’s see how Joe does in SC and Super Tuesday. After that, we must, MUST rally behind whoever it is to get that criminal, scumbag OUT. OUT. That’s all there is my friends. MY favorites were Kamala and Julian. NEVER MIND. My least favorite is Bernie— I’ll vote for that old man in a flash! WE MUST GET RID OF THIS DISEASE so our country can eventually recover…..THAT will take time.
I think what today proves is that democracy and authoritarianism are wrestling for control of this land. We're all busy. But if we can't make time to fight for democracy, we might not have another chance. The unthinkable can happen here.
"Barr represents a clear and present danger to the United States. His maneuvers at Justice have neutralized the OSC, which Barr almost certainly shut down early, inoculating Trump and his minions from further investigation…."
Doing a simple poll. If the choice for the Dem nomination was between Bloomberg or Sanders, who would you pick? Locking my account for 10 hours so the poll doesn't get out & get skewed.
Bill Barr is recommending that Roger Stone—who lied to Congress and threatened a judge—receive less time in jail than Crystal Mason, a Black Texas woman who cast an uncounted provisional ballot following the advice of poll workers but did not know she was ineligible to vote.
My darling TODObots, Keep Us All The Heart, there will be Light again when this Darkness passes.. we will survive it.

Putin's rating fell to 35%. It happened a few years ago as well. Putin has been on shaky ground for a few years now and will do everything to make sure Trump is reelected. If the West was strong the past few years would have been a golden opportunity to weaken Putin https://t.co/KwwnKrdxdR
4. There are two liberal SCOTUS justices over 80 years old; if Trump is reelected and they step down, he will have nominated 4/9 justices and will tilt the balance to a 7-2 conservative majority. If that doesn't terrify you, I don't know what will. https://t.co/QUvGPYNHtN
Jonathan Kravis, Aaron Zelinsky, Adam Jed and Michael Marando — Department of Justice heroes. I support them and all of the men and women of goodwill at DOJ. Be tough. Do not compromise your values; there can be no compromise with those who act corruptly.
It’s so awful. It’s bad enough having to deal this crap. Can you imagine trying deal with on campus where you’re supposed to be safe and focused on learning? If I were their parent, that school would be scared of both me and my attorney.
I’m so sorry this is happening to the two of you. I can’t imagine how either of you can focus on your studies. Wish I could offer helpful advice that hasn’t already been mentioned. It’s beautiful to see how much you’re supporting her. Stay strong. Keep lifting each other up.
Barr’s Obstruction of Justice:
“The preamble to the United States Constitution makes clear what our system of government is supposed to do with its power and authority. In fact, the 16th and 17th words in the document say that the American system should exist in order to “establish justice. The constitutional mandate is under attack in ways without modern precedent…
A Justice Department that overrides its own prosecutors to do favors for the president’s pals is a department that should expect to be seen as corrupt.” (Benen)
(https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/following-apparent-political-interference-crisis-grips-justice-dept-n1135641)
“David Laufman, the former counterintelligence chief at the Justice Department, called yesterday’s developments “shocking,” adding, “We are now truly at a break-glass-in-case-of-fire moment” for the DOJ.”
—NO. NOT HAVING IT.
“HOW TO STOP BILL BARR:
We must remove this cancer on our democracy:”
“THE THREE INDIVIDUALS on whose support the impeached criminal Donald John Trump most depends are
Rupert Murdoch, owner of News Corp., who heads the president’s popular propaganda media network;
Mitch McConnell, the obstructionist Senate Majority Leader, who throttled the will of the people in the sham impeachment trial;
and, above all,
William Barr, the nihilist Attorney General, who has done everything in his considerable power to insulate Trump from the law—and, thus, to lurch our democracy toward despotism.”
(https://gregolear.substack.com/p/how-to-stop-bill-barr)
“Let me be clear: Barr is not all-powerful.
The DOJ is not a monolith, and it is staffed, in the main, by patriots, not traitors—”
“We must remove Barr from office before he lands a death blow to democracy.
This is Defcon One, people:”
“…he is the Attorney General, not the President,
and thus does not enjoy the Constitutional protections of his office that Trump relies on.
For legal purposes, he is NO DIFFERENT than you or I.”
“Barr controls the federal Justice Department, but has no truck with state and local authorities.”
“He’s left a lot of breadcrumbs, which I covered at length a few weeks ago—
he’s connected to Jeffrey Epstein,
to his creepy father Donald Barr,
to Opus Dei, to shady bank dealings dating to the Bush I years.
Investigative reporters need to follow these crumbs.”
“But the secret weapon here is contempt of Congress…”
“Barr should be subpoenaed to testify immediately, and if he refuses, he needs to be punished. Period.
Lock him up.
Fine him brutally.
Take away his fucking money.
Whatever the law allows, or might allow, must be put to the test.”
“One of the reasons Trump has been winning these little process battles is that the Democrats have been reluctant to upset the apple cart of tradition and decorum. The time has come to kick over that cart and start pelting the bad guys with apples. If need be, the House needs to vote to de-fund the Justice Department until subpoenas are adhered to. (In other words: Pelosi should do to Barr what Trump did to Ukraine!) We need to go on the offensive. Our republic depends on it.”
–all hail to Greg Olear.
“Without an independent Department of Justice, we are a banana republic.
Without fair elections, we are not a free country.
Republicans have brought the United States to her knees, attacking the very foundations of freedom for which this country stands.” (Sarah Jones)
To Aaron and Adam, Jonathan and Michael: I am sorry for the agony you are about to endure, and for the pain & betrayal you will feel at the hands of your beloved Dept. Know that you are on the right side of history & that we are so very proud of you for defending the rule of law.
Deval Patrick’s candidacy was doomed anyway because of his late. Finally accepted the writing on the wall. I’m curious to see if he’ll quickly endorse another candidate or wait til the general.

Hello TODville. I am taking a break from all the punditry on tv too.
On a different note from politics … does anyone have a pound cake recipe they would like to share? My baking is a hit and miss often, *sigh* … was thinking of baking this weekend. I found one online but if anyone would like to share a recipe that’s not a family secret ☺, please do.
Senator Schumer to the Senate:
“The president ran against the “swamp” in Washington—a place where the game is rigged by the powerful to benefit them personally.
I ask my fellow Americans: what is more swampy, what is more fetid, what is more stinking, than the most powerful person in our country literally changing the rules to benefit a crony guilty of breaking the law?
As a result, I have formally requested that the inspector general of the Justice Department investigate this matter immediately.”
Senator Schumer:
“And this morning, I call on Judiciary Committee Chairman Graham to convene an emergency hearing of the Judiciary Committee to do the same—to conduct oversight and hold hearings.
That’s the job of the Judiciary Committee, no matter who is president, whether the president is from your party or not. Something egregious like this demands that the inspector general investigate and demands that the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee hold a hearing, now.”
I'm committing to: 1. Cutting all discretionary spending. Refuse to boost his economy. 2. Increase voter registration/education efforts. 3. Developing cradle to grave CIVICS courses/seminars for my community. 4. Increase donations to remove assault on the Constitution

IMPORTANT: Barr's March 31 testimony may feel lifetimes away but that also puts it shortly after the planned publication date of John Bolton's book, in which he reportedly claims he spoke to Barr about fears Trump was doing favors for autocrats.https://t.co/cgz20MJeUO
df, My question too. Six weeks ia a long time. Think of how much damage he’s done in one week. SIX weeks??!?!?! Nevermind Bolton’s book. Be too late by then.
Hey All. Please have a look at this piece by @Mimirocah1 & me about the unprecedented political interference by President Trump and AG Barr in the Roger Stone case, prompting 4 career prosecutors to withdraw from the case. This politicization/weaponization of the DOJ must end. https://t.co/hkTkbUXrV1
Harassing and Johnson? You mean the same Barasso and Johnson that didn’t vote to hold this fraud responsible?? Those guys??

Okay friends, Have to share my experience from an hour ago of calling Lamar Alexander’s office (local). Will try my best to keep it short, but that may be impossible.
I called about the DOJ issue from the past two days. Had to hold for a couple minutes. Keith came on (Yes, we are on first name basis!). I gave him my initial message though do not remember specifically what was said, but ended it with the prediction that as of February 12, 4:35, I predict we will not have an election. (I meant a general election in November.) He smarted off with “Well, we are having elections today……..” It went downhill from there. I cursed and he yelled and cursed back at me. He said he would give the Senator my message. In 5 or 6 minutes, my phone rang and it was Keith calling me back to apologize. I “sort of” apologized too, then we had a fairly long conversation. I had Twitter open in front of me so able to quickly take things from there to make my points. Two different times after I hit him hard with truth and facts and then said, “You know that everything I have said to you is true and you can’t sit in your office in downtown Knoxville and deny ONE thing I have said.” Crickets, Crickets two different times. At one point he said he couldn’t give his personal opinion. I pointed out that everything that happens and the further we headlong into living in a full blown fascist and authoritarian country, it is going to affect you and your loved ones just like it does me and everyone else. You think because you are a Republican and who you work for will make things “okay” for you…….that you won’t be affected?! I am leaving out a lot of things, but this gives you the gist of how the call went.
Black people should ignore that a presidential candidate oversaw a racist and unconstitutional policy that violated the rights of 100s of 1000s of Americans for…solidarity? In a presidential primary where people are choosing between Dems? When, exactly, is the right time? https://t.co/uFvuIkPYME

Don’t know if anyone is still here. Anyone?
Here.
Hi, stranger!!
Hi, 57and female, good to see you! ❤️
Yo. Here! 🙂
Hey, hey 57! How you be? 😂 💞
President Obama’s words are like a kool breeze on a Sunny Afternoon…a kool glass of Ice Tea on a hot summer day…
makes me weep..for what is now…
This is where I am
About
Bloomberg
I got blocked because i said this to her….
These lawless pretenders. So Dis-Barr is backing away from Roger Stone’s sentence.
Wish I could feed these corrupt arses to the locusts!
Seriously, tho, this is bad:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/feb/10/food-fears-grow-as-swarms-of-locusts-reach-uganda-and-tanzania
Mike Bloomberg is trash.
Yes he is and sneaky and untrustworthy. We will NOT let anyone slimy win this election, not him, not Bernie.
Come on people – this is a long race
^^^ THIS!
I so agree ggail44! I have been so depressed from Iowa and NH. I haven’t watched or listened to news in 2 days. I am so scared for our country.
Totally agree.
😘✌🏾
Not just RW judges. UNQUALIFIED RW judges. Perfect
We LOVE to see it.
My wonderful and on-point Governor had words of encouragement:
Not another story. I would say unbelievable, but it isn’t.
All the prosecutors have quit
😂😂😂 that would really be something:)
They’re all bullshit
DUH
I see some reports of how people in NH chose who to vote for.
It is astounding to learn the extent to which some people refuse to take time to learn about the candidates at this crucial time in the nation’s history.
🚀🛰🌎🌍🌏
Thanks for posting these every now and then, to make us all smile! Love them.
Anytime! 😘
I love these posts, Dudette! They’re my balm against teevee talking heads PTSD. 😂💞💖
😘😘😘
🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾
Yang is out.
Woof! 🐶
🐶🥇
I do not know if I can stomach the nonsensical “political analysis” that is dominating the results of NH primary election.
I am seriously contemplating turning political shows off for the next 48 hours. The is a limit to what my heart can stomach.
WE MUST HANG TOGETHER! Do NOT get tribal, please—- PLEEEEASE! Let’s see how Joe does in SC and Super Tuesday. After that, we must, MUST rally behind whoever it is to get that criminal, scumbag OUT. OUT. That’s all there is my friends. MY favorites were Kamala and Julian. NEVER MIND. My least favorite is Bernie— I’ll vote for that old man in a flash! WE MUST GET RID OF THIS DISEASE so our country can eventually recover…..THAT will take time.
So true Magapie. All hands on deck.
I agree. My other major concern is the Senate and maybe even keeping the House if the nominee is Bernie. I REALLY worry about that. Anyone else?
Yep.
I am so proud of myself. I stopped watching election analysis since the Iowa caucus. I will continue to refrain.
I am so with you on that. I won’t listen to these pundits anymore.
They have to cheat to win. Make them mute. Vote straight Dem.
AMEN

Important thread
Good morning everyone!
May you have a great day
I hope that people can stop and take a breath about the Democratic primary.
I think that many people are having a knee-jerk reaction and voting according to prevailing hysteria the manipulated news cycle.
I have watched the actions of and listened to the Dem candidates. I know who I will vote for and why. I have also ranked the candidates.
No amount of propaganda is going to make me change my mind about the person who has earned my vote over a lifetime of public service.
