Not alone! I literally feel sick. And, to make matters worse (if thatās possible) , I am locked inside a car with my Republican husband. Things mighty quiet after we attempted a conversation awhile ago. I asked him in all seriousness if he thinks our democracy will survive. āI think our Constitution will survive. I donāt think one branch of our government can bring down our democracy.ā I tried convincing him that we donāt have a DOJāāāThatās the way itās always been. The DOJ is part of the executive branch.ā He would never answer when I asked him if we have ever had a AG who functioned ONLY as the personal attorney/Fixer for the president. Crickets. He says I listen to Democratic PROPAGANDA. I asked if it is propaganda when we hear how this person got fired and someone else got fired and patriots got marched out of the WH, is that propaganda?? I told him: That can ONLY be a yes or no answer. I repeated that two times. He refused, refused to answer yes or no. Started what every right wing caller does on the radio ā-try to turn the tablesā¦.. I canāt type any,ore
Thanks. Tough trip. Tough trip! Heās not a trump supporter……. fully, but canāt give up the GOP talking points and more or less makes excuses for trump. Tough trip. š”š„š”š”š„š„š”š”š„š”š„š„
I feel for you. BREATHE! I’m sure it is beyond frustrating, however, as you are stuck in the car, why pursue a political conversation? For my own mental health, when dealing with someone with a divergent view, I only have those type of conversations when I can walk away if it gets heated or frustrating. jm $0.02
True. Now, I donāt even remember how it started. Maybe when my head is clearer, I will.
I second jazziz. Breathe and let go. Sometimes we just have to believe a higher power is guiding us, just to de-stress.
I have spent many hours trying to convince both my brothers against Trump. Both are strong Trump supporters. It is heart breaking to me. I view Trump supporters as extremely selfish and have a hard time viewing my brothers in that group. I have come to the conclusion it is best for me to just avoid all political discussion with them.
My adult children, their spouses and in-laws as well as my first time voter grandchild are all voting Dem. That is my hope and refuge. I am with one of my children for a month now and that helps a lot too.
If I recall correctly, you are in the DC area for a month. Would you like to do a lunch meet up towards the end of your visit?
Thank you for highlighting this. It is not easy to remain optimistic – but I am going to try
Correct analysis.

So happy she’s staying involved, keeping her voice out there. I’m a big dreamer (even at this age!), but I’d love to see a Biden-Harris ticket!
Biden-Harris is my new dream ticket.

Good new day TODVille. Midnight where I am.
Midnight in my heart as I fear that Putin is celebrating the victory of his favorite serial socialist tonight. He tried helping the senior senator from Vermont in 2016 by hardening the hearts and minds of many Berniebros who rather stayed at home or voted for the Con Artist from NY.
As Bloomberg feared, a general election between a Con Artist with unemployment below 4% and a serial socialist who is vilifying wealth in a capitalist country, I don’t what the odds to topple Orange Man are.
I’ll vote for Bernie in my sleep if he is the nominee. However, him heading to be the nominee is what keeps me up at night.
SO. Let me get this straight: Russia is working to help Bernie. Bernie is winning. prez fuckface launches an effort to damage Joe with dirt manufactured by a foreign government. He gets caught in his treason red-handed, but slithers out of it like he has all of his privileged, disgusting, criminal life. And? Joe gets damaged ANYWAY.
Your summary is correct.
Yes, I believe that’s what happened.
Morning everyone. Seems heās scared shitless of Biden. Wonder why?
Sorry. I know itās Sunday and all, but like I said many times before, flip side of the coin we got now. This is disgusting…
Awful. Lawrence responded last night, and all hands were on deck in support of him – and to shun this awful, awful guy.
I didnāt see it last night but honestly, this is revolting. Iām glad they all weāre there for him

Good morning everyone!
I hope that your day and future are great.
“Starting in the fall of 2020,
the University of Southern California will begin phasing in a policy that would make tuition free
for students enrolling whose family makes less than $80,000 a year.
According to the new policy, homeownership would not figure into the schoolās policy,
which is very good news for many families. In a news release, USCās President Carol L. Folt is quoted as saying, āThis significant step we are taking today is by no means the end of our affordability journey. We are committed to increasing USCās population of innovators, leaders and creators regardless of their financial circumstances.ā

I am wondering WHO Congressman Clyburn will endorse
I hope he endorses Joe.

10 Billion bucks for Climate Crisis:
“Multi-billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has just launched a new fund which will issue grants to charities and innovators working to fight the climate crisis.
Bezos announced the creation of his Bezos Earth Fund on Instagram this week.
According to the post, Bezos will begin doling $10 billion in grants to environmental groups starting this summer.
āClimate change is the biggest threat to our planet,ā wrote Bezos. āI want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change on this planet we all share.”

Cleanest fuel we have:
“In an ambitious bid to cut the nationās greenhouse gas emissions,
India is now ensuring that all diesel and gas stations will only be supplying the cleanest fuel.
Starting on April 1st, India will join the ranks of the few world nations offering Euro-VI grade fuel, which only contains 10 parts per million (ppm) of sulphur in contrast to the 50 ppm in Euro-IV fuels.
India is reportedly the first country to ever transition directly from IV-grade fuels to VI-grade. Not only that, they managed to achieve the transition in just three years.”

“The āgreen portā infrastructure means that 12 of the countryās biggest seaports are exclusively using renewable energy to power their daily operations. Not only that, the ports can use the energy to electrically power ships as they are docked.”
“The City of London will bring in the UKās first full-time ban on all petrol and diesel cars from early next year, as part of an ambitious plan to eliminate toxic air pollution in the financial centre by 2030.”

P.S. We are going to knock his fucking head off at the head-to-head debates.
Clarification. If he has the courage to participate in the presidential debates for the general election:
We’re going to knock his fucking block off.
š Correct. Iāve wondered how the public perception would change, if at all, if he didnāt debate his opponent.
If Bernie or Warren is the nominee, he MIGHT debate.
If it’s Biden, Bloomberg, or Pete, there will be NO debate.
So sorry to hear this news. I used to watch her on TV… she was always the epitome of style and grace
I loved her show; and her restaurant in DC was delightful!
So sorry to hear of her pass. May she rest in peace.

Oh good. They want to burn the place down like the other one. Honest to god, I just canāt with these people.
@#$%$#@ …. effin Sarandon is probably one of the reasons why Trump is President. If Sanders becomes President I feel that Sarandon and the Nina turners of the world may become the new kellyanne Conway.
I read what LOD said about President Sanders … I cant say that i disagree completely. Sanders may become President but will lawmakers he is against because they are part of the ‘establishment’ often disparaged by him, want to work with him?
But … at the end of the day the goal has to be to defeat Trump.
I am going to go back to looking at pictures of food online. That always cheers me up āŗ.
You bring two frightening figures, the incorrigible Susan Sarandon and the blonde Nina Turners.
There is no peace in this world, not even on SundayšÆ!
Have you seen meta
Hope Meta is alright.
I was in touch with her earlier in the month, and she was just taking a little break!
Thanks for that. I understand it
I should have refreshed… lol
Meta also got back with me, and I’m so glad she’s hanging in there, keeping hopeful!
Gail spoke with her tonight, she’s taking a little break.
Thankz. I understand
Nice.
Wonderful.
And millions of others will follow along right beside her. It doesnāt matter what you think should happen, this is just a fact.
The report’s full color threat chart is shown in this article.
And to the entire United States.

Weāve reached the point where even Clint Eastwood thinks Trump is nuts.
Susan Sarandon sure has a lot to say about getting rid of Speaker Pelosi. I’d like to know her plan to get rid of Mitch McConnell.
A lot of Democrats feel the same as Mr. Guttenberg.
Wow! A neighbor just made my day; gifted me with an orchid plant and restaurant gift card in appreciation for training and assistance that I’ve given her over the last two years. First time that has happened in the 24 years I’ve been here.
Beautiful ā¤
That is a really lovely gesture from your neighbour jazziz and well deserved.
That is so wonderful, and I’m sure your impact was heartfelt by your neighbor!
So nice! There are so great people in the world… glad you were recognized for you help ā¤ļø
When you are feeling down about our current political situation remember how your neighbor made you feel and know there is still goodness in the world.
That is wonderful. Still smiling!
I LOVE that!!!
So great!! Share widely:)
this is Putin’s play.
are you going to fall for it again?
I *think* I get that you support Bernie Sanders, which is really none of my business. I’m curious though. Pause falling for Putin’s play, free education, free medicare, free whatever for a bit, have you HONESTLY seen Sanders display ANY skills that suggest he’d be able to *help* restore America’s standing on the world stage? The USA’s credibility abroad has taken many hits in the past 3 years. Can you see Bernie doing much, if anything to help in this area? Have you seen any evidence Sanders is able to reasonably negotiate with others? Sure I’ve heard the young people like him, but I have never *seen* any evidence of compassion in him for anyone; have you? We’d all agree that the presidency requires intelligent leadership; how is Sanders’ leadership showcased by those working for him? I really don’t understand his appeal. What am I missing re Bernie Sanders?
I ask these questions not to be facetious, not to criticize you in any way, but because I’m genuinely puzzled that I’m missing something. When I’ve seen Sanders over the years (only on line, mind you) I’ve never seen someone I could trust. He has always seemed disdainful of others and irascible, full of himself too. I cannot remember having seen Bernie in a situation where he seemed personable and/or comfortable. In fact, I could substitute ‘comfortable’ for natural. It’s like he’s always putting on a show. IMO, particularly succeeding trump, USA and the world need an American president who is more than one dimensional, one who can function intelligently and calmly in each area of government, not just talk ad infinitum about ‘corporations, the richest 10%’ and hedge funds’. I don’t know about Sanders. I really don’t.
((((vc)))) Might I also add that they tried M4A in Vermont. Didnāt work and they had to get out of it. Why does he skip over that part all the time?
hi vc, me?
I love Elizabeth Warren.
See more lower down on thread.
FUCK-FUCK-FUCK. We’re being played like a fiddle by Putin. This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better, I fear.
Magapie this was my point….everyone has to see through it ALL the time.
Vote Blue No matter Who ,..was a misguided slogan..As if it did not matter who won the nomination…i never was down with that slogan

Headline just spotted on twitter … all he has to do now is let it get out he’ll pick Tulsi Gabbard as his VP running mate. Ugh.
“Marianne Williamson endorses Bernie Sanders for president at his Austin rally”
Absolutely, Jacqueline!!!!!!
Kamala Harris and Corey Booker have not endorsed anyone…neither has Yang…
We said we wouldn’t eat our own. We said we wouldn’t go tribal. But prez fuckface, GOP operatives and Putin are manipulating us. IT’S HAPPENING. He’s an imbecile, but the conspiracy is brilliant.
Free this! Free that! Fuck that.
Read the comments on the thread
Heās still playing games, I see
Wake up!
Read these comments too. Sorry people not buying what heās selling
Scammer!!! They held Warren accountable. Why not Sanders?
Is that a rhetorical question? SHE is a woman, not an old white guy. Just a guess
Exactly!!!!
Sounds spot on
Love the juxtaposition of the ballerinas against the concrete and brambles:)

Hopefully, influential folks in the Super Tuesday states will also endorse after the debate. I don’t like the compressed calendar; in 2008 there was about a week and a half between SC and Super Tuesday.
So adorable

Thanks for sharing this.
Good morning everyone!
Have a great day and week
Morning everyone. Happy Monday:)
Tell me again how this guy is gonna really be the end all be all… and middle and rural Americans are gonna love him. Please. We canāt do 4 more years of this jackass, which is precisely what weād end up with. Iām sure thereās more tapes just like this out the wazoo. Itās only February.
I know that this is all very tragic,,but these are the choices that Americans are making…they chose Trrump in 2016…because although he won thru the electoral college…63 million folks voted straight up for Trump and the GOP has enabled him every step of the way…
This primary started off with so much Promise…but now unless Joe Biden can pull off what he says he can…well you know…
but i will continue to organize..make phone calls…and donate to Biden…as long as he is in the race….but know this…if Bernie Sanders is the nominee…all bets will be off…he will not get my vote…i will work to promote down ballot candidates in my state…#NuffSaid…
You find the most uplifting stories. Thank you. And I’m sure I speak for “all the others” !!!! š
Thanks JOB! Home is where the heart lives. TOD is home! Love you, Dear! ššš
Love you back! ā¤
Exactly.
Doom sees himself as the head of National Parks.

Thank you for all your contributions to our world and our collective knowledge of our universe. Rest amongst the stars.
Didn’t we commit to voting for the Democratic nominee?
Am for Elizabeth Warren first choice and have talked about it.
However I recognize that young people want Bernie, they really do. They want a fighter, as do many grown-ups!
We need an aggressive fighter for our future, e.g. It’s recognized all over the world that we must be carbon
net neutral by 2030.
Our young people and their children will be here when we are gone.
And they want someone who is truly ready to MOVE fast on climate without fear of corporations.
Both Warren and Bernie have honest urgent climate crisis responses.
—And btw let’s end the Billions$ in O & G taxpayer subsidies right away…
