Probably worse than in Portland now, OG! There was a downed tree very near our house and branches/debris down everywhere, but it could have been so much worse. Not out of danger yet, though. How are all our Cali TOD friends doing?
BREAKING: The chief of the Rochester Police Department announced he would resign following the release of shocking footage of the March death of a 41-year-old Black man in police custody. His entire command staff is also resigning.
I wish they would realize how PP treated Puerto Ricans.
In fact I truly hope every eligible PR resident will come over and cast their vote against PP.
That would be tantamount to them throwing paper towels at PP.
Key word is Cubans. They’re not representative of entire Latino community in US. *Older* generation Cubans seem stuck w/ GOP, not accepting & maybe having a hard time removing those rosy colored glasses. As toddlers say: opey eye!
Please note: It looks increasingly like the Trump campaign has money problems & that they/the president are stealing public resources to make up for it (see: Hatch Act violations, use of WH/press conferences in lieu of rallies, departments doing Trump PR rather than comms, etc.)
BTW, Georgia will have only two names on the ballot for President this November: Joe Biden and that dictator guy. Ten candidates qualified for write-in status, which means their names won’t appear on the ballot, but because they filled the proper paperwork on time, any write-in votes for them will be counted. None of them is named Kanye West.
Blame lean manufacturing. A decadeslong effort to eke out more profit by keeping inventory low left many manufacturers unprepared when Covid-19 struck. And production is unlikely to ramp up significantly any time soon.
My cleaning lady came today. We began to talk about politics. She told me she hates Trump, but has never voted, neither she nor or husband. She is 60. I told her this was the most important election of our lifetimes. She and I sat down at computer and she registered online!
MSNBC reporter asking trumpers WHAT THEY WILL DO IF THEIR A-HOLE LOSES. Why give it any oxygen? They go about their lives, because it’s a democracy, we have elections. Don’t give any traction to the scumbag’s fear, hate, paranoia and brainwashing.
Asks one trumpbecile that says he won’t accept it “Will you take up arms?” Of course, he says he will. So follow-up with: “Who will you shoot? Will you shoot police officers to get your way? Members of our national guard, you’ll kill them because the election didn’t turn out the way you wanted? These are our sons and daughters, right?
YOU’LL KILL THEM FOR DOING THEIR JOBS ENFORCING THE PEACE?”

Wishing a very happy birthday to Ruby Bridges, who I had the pleasure of seeing earlier this year in Selma before the pandemic changed our lives. At 6 years old, she became the first Black child to integrate her all-white public elementary school in 1960.

Whoa. After days of protests in Rochester over the killing of Daniel Prude, mayor Lovely Warren just announced entire Rochester police department command staff, including the chief of police, is resigning.
Sad when someone confuses stupidity and selfishness with bravery. How about showing “bravery” by working in the ICU COVID Unit without PPE? Nothing “brave” about driving a car into a crowd with a blindfold on. Let’s stop the “freedom” and “hoax” nonsense. Wear a mask. https://t.co/dRavDijaQ1
Belarus arresting the leaders of the opposition today, one by one.
This would be a propitious time for an American president to *care*, to say so, to brush back Putin, to act like there's a reason the holder of the US presidency used to get called the leader of the free world. https://t.co/kkkTwryvK6
Michael Cohen:”He’s not the same person I knew. The power has gone to his head. He wants to be an autocrat. He wants to be president of this country for life just like Putin.” We have warned for years that malignant narcissists become drunk on power and get much worse. #Maddow
Good morning TOD. Are any of you following the #WeWalkWithHarriet ladies. They are walking the Harriet Tubman route from Cambridge to Kennett Square. 116 miles. They need to do 20 miles each day. Following their journey is amazing.
He has time to golf. He has time to tweet. It would take just two seconds to provide the DNA sample that would prove the #TrumpIsARapist hashtag wrong.
Madam, The Atlantic Magazine story IS true. Your husband lies to you about the women he boffs. He lies about his grades, his height, his golf scores, his income, and how great he is in bed. But you know THAT. https://t.co/G4zDjT8K07
Will just say that we have been very polite about Melania.
We know from the photos that she was right in there with Maxwell and Epstein and Trump in the photos.
And she hasn’t been covered by reporting much thus far, including her Russian language services.
imo the underwear model who married the philandering would-be dictator has zero to lecture about.

‘I’m Not The One Who Had The Affair’: Cohen On Taking The Fall For Trump
“Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to Donald Trump, talks with Rachel Maddow about how he ended up being the only person charged in Donald Trump’s hush money scheme to keep Stormy Daniels’ story from getting out.”
I hope you'll join @kamalaharris and me for our first grassroots event together next Monday.
We'll talk about the Biden-Harris team's plans to get our country back on track, how all of us can help elect Democrats down-ballot, and maybe even those Chucks. https://t.co/ymzja6frovpic.twitter.com/ra28a69Col
Here’s another story from our grifter governor. He took our state on an $80 Million spending spree, no-bid spree for COVID-19 supplies. In many cases, the money went to companies with GOP political connections. Surprise, surprise. Jesus, forgive me, but I truly hate these people.
Interesting poll on issues important to TN famlies: 84% support paid family leave. 72% favor expanding Medicaid. 62% support expanding greater access to voting. 77% support equal pay for equal work. By some of our Dem legislators, there’s been bills introduced about every one of these issues. sometimes numerous times. Every time, those bills are voted down, sometimes not even making it out of committee. Clearly, the GOP is not doing its job for the state of TN while at the same time, calling our citizens and/or our legislators “radical” or “Marxist.”

Inarguably, the most important line from the WaPo report: "Trump admitted to Bob Woodward on March 19 that he deliberately minimized the danger of the coronavirus. 'I wanted to always play it down,' the president said."
BREAKING: Kathryn Mizelle, Trump's pick for the federal bench in Florida, was just rated NOT QUALIFIED by the ABA. Mizelle is Trump's 10th nominee to be rated Not Qualified.
Our @OSIRISREx spacecraft is orbiting asteroid Bennu, where it's set to capture a sample on Oct. 20.

Having read more of the excerpts in the Woodward book where @realDonaldTrump is on tape, I’ve concluded this is not just dereliction of duty by @POTUS. Trump repeatedly lied to the American people and that resulted in preventable deaths.
Michael Cohen on Trump from the Maddow interview:
“Trump never thought he was going to win this election, he actually did not want to win this election … this was a branding deal. That’s all that the presidential campaign started out as, this was a branding opportunity in order to expand worldwide.” (c/o Crooks and Liars)
Cohen:
“I want to be clear to you and to the viewers and everybody: Nothing happens without Mr. Trump’s approval at the Trump Organization. To the same extent, nothing happens without President Trump’s approval. He micromanaged everything.”
“If he loses, there’s still the time between the election and the time that the next president would take office. During that time, my suspicion is that he will resign as president, he will allow Mike Pence to take over and he will have Mike Pence pardon him.”
Cohen speaks to Jerry Falwell and his wife on a regular basis. They are legit friends.
“On Trump’s orders, Cohen smeared Senator Marco Rubio and Senator Ted Cruz in the National Enquirer
Fox News anchor Sean Hannity sucked up to Donald Trump in a BIG way
Trump is obsessed with and hates Obama, he’s what Trump wishes he could be…
Finally, Cohen says the power has gone to Trump’s head and that he absolutely
wants to be President for life”.
YIKES!”

I can’t believe people are comparing Trump to Satan.
Sure he’s evil, but certainly not as evil as Trump.
Ha ha ha ha! Thanks for the chuckle!
NCLB, needed that deep belly chuckle today! 😘💞
My pleasure. I was only the messenger or better, copier/paster, since I can no longer post tweets.
Paste away! Same chuckle! 😂😘

Good one! Glad I saw that before trotting off to dreamland tonight!

Yeh, that yanked a couple more cuss words out of more.

Just saw on CNN, that Trump leads Biden among Latino voters in Florida, by about 4 points how is this possible?
Gotta.ignore.polls.
Cubans are far more conservative and Republican than most other Hispanics/Latinos. That’s been true for decades.
I call this voting against their own interest.
Agreed.
I wish they would realize how PP treated Puerto Ricans.
In fact I truly hope every eligible PR resident will come over and cast their vote against PP.
That would be tantamount to them throwing paper towels at PP.
Totally agree todjey.
Key word is Cubans. They’re not representative of entire Latino community in US. *Older* generation Cubans seem stuck w/ GOP, not accepting & maybe having a hard time removing those rosy colored glasses. As toddlers say: opey eye!
