Morning Sweet Flower of the Desert! ❤️

Good Mo’nin, Good People! 💋😘❤️
Good morning TOD.
Morning Dear Roberto! 😘
Brian Williams has been a good Dem his entire life. But his incitefulness, his wit, his biting sarcasm, his moral compass throughout these monstrous Trump years has been a marvel to behold.
Ditto. True story: Friends from our Northern VA days. He: A lifelong R; Baptist lifelong. A widower. She: A lifelong D and United Methodist. Both attorneys. Divorced for many years. Got married 5-6 years ago. They attend the UMC where we met her. She’s been slowly ‘working on’ bringing him around to our side. Well, the trump years have done it. (Just like with my husband.). He now watches Rachel with her. He likes Joy Reid, but his favorite is Brian Williams. 😍
Yeh Baby! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
Boom! 💥
That whole thread needs to be on TV!
He won’t. $$$
Good!!
More from the “I got mine, fuck you” crowd…

Selfish.
Good morning everyone!
Have a great day.
Let the church say AMEN!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 The Baptist preacher came out!!!!
Excellent
This was so spot on. Just goes to show you, it was all complete bullshit.They can never be trusted.But we knew that.
Good question.
As Biden taps personnel from the HOUSE i begin to worry about their slim majority
I don’t think he would put that majority in jeopardy.
Had that worry too, but it all depends on rules of each state. Gov can appoint someone to fill seat. So far am seeing Den Govs for those seats. Bet they’ve already strategized. 💞
Maddow: We feared Susan’s Covid would kill her. Your risks could hurt those you love most.
—Incredible tribute to love and compassion…and yes to Rachel’s advice.
wtf? I thought MI was in the bag. Did the MI thugs lie? If they lied, that’s some weaselly words from MI AG.

President Obama to Jonathan Capehart on the ‘heated political rhetoric of the Trump era’.

Good Saturday Afternoon, Beloved TODbots…🙌🙌🥰🤗😍🙏💪🙏
Thank You, NW🙏💪😍🤗🥰💪🙏
Bill Moyers…
I still believe Trump will resign and Pence will then give him a blanket pardon. Yes…the pardon won’t protect him from state crimes, but he will be pardoned.
Up to us to remind pence that as he was also involved in some of the crimes, he should have trump pardon him before resigning; otherwise, pence is left holding the bag…
Of course, if trump pardons pence, resigns, the pence pardons trump, potentially, both pardons can be invalidated as fruits of a conspiracy…

“The Coup Stage of Donald Trump’s Presidency”
(https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-coup-stage-of-donald-trumps-presidency)
Turning a con into a coup.
If his con works and trump throws the election, it becomes a coup.
Maddow has gone into detail about the 2 Michigan GOP legislators who have nothing to do with MI certification… being courted by Trump at the White House as we speak. Seems the plan is for them to strong arm the real GOP certificators and Monday is the deadline. Michigan’s county certifications have all been counted and what follows should be pro forma, yes? Trump wants to throw it all into chaos and send it to the courts…
Looks like PA rules are different…Lt Gov Fetterman saying No way trump can mess with PA.
Without any evidence…trump leaning on GOP to do his dirty work…and turn his Con into a Coup.
I love PA’s Lt. Governor, and watch him on msnbc – but it’s weird that there’s a ton of tweets, articles, etc. about MI but little detail about PA. How is he sure? I’m afraid I’m with Maddow – I’m still scared until Monday when PA and MI certify. It also frightens me that MI AG is considering legal ramifications behind the scenes when she’s been “nothing to worry about in MI state law” on the tee vee.
i understand why she is remaining calm on TV…she is trying to give confidence to the voters…but she has a back up plan…just in case..she needs it….
hey 57…nice to see you in the diary…i hope you are well

I was a fool ….
Ok …my day is completely made:)😃😃
Dr. Vin Gupta liked my Twitter comment!! Yes, I joined Twitter:) After YEARS of holding out..
Well, well. Do tell so at least TODers can follow you. 🙂
Moments of kindness 🌺
😍😍😍
That made me laugh and cry…..and cry. Laugh because that would have been my reaction. 🙂
Me too …LOL
That is so sweet. That’s how I would react too with a lot more screaming! 😂
So true!
SHAMLESS
Maybe this jackass needs to be recalled
Is this the same case?
In scathing opinion, federal judge dismisses Trump campaign lawsuit in Pennsylvania
In scathing opinion, federal judge dismisses Trump campaign lawsuit in Pennsylvania
The suit, in which Trump sought to block the certification of the state’s election results, made “strained legal arguments without merit,” District Judge Matthew W. Brann wrote.

Republicans are so used to making up the rules as they go along to suit themselves (e.g., McConnell’s rule about nominating/confirming SC Justices during an election year) that they really think changing the election laws and applying them retroactively would be taken seriously!?!?!?!?
Is this the same suit? https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/us-judge-dismisses-trump-campaign-lawsuit-in-pa/2020/11/21/cc097fbe-2c50-11eb-9b14-ad872157ebc9_story.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social
Watched PBO on Jonathan Capehart’s special AND on Jimmy Kimmel this morning (Thank you On Demand!) . it’s the happiest and most reassured I’ve felt in a long, LONG time.
This is soooo true!
ROFLMAO…
Oooh! Can’t wait! Thank you! 💞
Again!
Because he thinks he knows everything about everything, even though he knows nothing, this is what PP enables . Again, in our names

Name and shame. This is assault
So happy to see his humour on display. Not much to laugh about these days. Look forward to seeing it all when it becomes available.
Out on bail? Are you freaking kidding me? WTH?
Yes, he can and Yes, he did.
Killing in the name
Moot, moot, moot, mute the muthafucka.

Does anyone know what will the MI rethugs will do tomorrow? Will they delay the certification?
A federal judge ruled Friday that the head of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees Voice of America (VOA) and other networks, unconstitutionally interfered with the news service when he went after its journalists for alleged bias against President Trump, NPR reports.
Five suspended officials from the USAGM sued CEO Michael Pack in early October, accusing him of violating the “firewall” that protects international broadcasters from political interference.
The officials alleged that Pack and others investigated and punished journalists for negative stories about the president, as well as stories about now President-elect Joe Biden and the racial justice protests across the U.S.
The suit also asserted that Pack, who was confirmed by the Senate earlier this year, was preventing news agencies from reporting objectively by withholding funds and refusing to extend visas for non-Americans who work for the broadcast agencies.
U.S. Judge Beryl Howell found that Pack’s actions likely “violated and continue to violate [journalists’] First Amendment rights because, among other unconstitutional effects, they result in self-censorship and the chilling of First Amendment expression.”
“These current and unanticipated harms are sufficient to demonstrate irreparable harm,” Howell, an appointee of President Obama, added in her opinion.
Howell ordered Pack to stop any interference in VOA’s news coverage and editorial personnel matters.
The rethuglican senate are seditious traitors enabling this scum’s vile agenda.
Inept corruption at its best. Peter’s principle hung itself.

Kelly Loeffler May Have Coronavirus
November 21, 2020 at 10:13 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 11 Comments
Sen. Kelly Loeffler’s (R-GA) campaign said Saturday she is self-isolating after she tested positive for the coronavirus and later received an inconclusive result, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
It’s not clear how the diagnosis will affect her nationally-watched Jan. 5 runoff.
prick hackperin ended up on newsmax spouting conspiracy theories. quelle surprise.
Home Sweet Home
bbl
LOL
Pence strikes again! I don’t wanna laugh, but I kinda do.
I guess they don’t believe their Dear Leader’s claim about Covid being a hoax. How dare they??!!
Trump can you cast your magic spell on Loefller and Perdue as outcasts so the good ppl of Georgia will not vote for them? 😁
Good Sunday Morning, TODbots…📯🎸🎺🥁🎹🙌🙌🙏💪🙏💝💖💞🙏🤲🙏
Why does it seem that tRumpers are okay with following CDC guidelines AFTER they test positive (i.e., self-isolating/quarantining) , but push back and ignore the guidelines that are in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19? They pick and choose the rules they want to follow to suit their agenda.
Has Pence ever gone into quarantine, even when he’s been exposed in the past?
good riddance of the fugly face and his klan.
Good question.
Well, that’s scary….
They just do it because they can….sheeeeez!!!
Class
– It looks like Rick Scott probably gave COVID to Kelly Loeffler when they campaigned together last week, and then in turn Loeffler may have exposed David Perdue and Mike Pence yesterday. These Republicans are all refusing to wear masks when they’re around each other because they might hurt Donald Trump’s feelings, and now they’re gambling with their lives.
– Notably, the Republicans who no longer feel like they need Trump, such as Liz Cheney and Pat Toomey, are kicking him to the curb tonight as quickly as they can. In general it’s only the Republicans who think they still need Trump’s blessing to win (Loeffler, Perdue), and who are corruptly attached to Trump at the hip (Pence, Scott), who are still playing his dead-end games.

Peppa… Peppa Pig 🙄
In a Facebook post published Friday, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson claimed he became “desperately ill” with the COVID-19 virus and that he believes he is “out of the woods” and his health is returning now that the Donald Trump administration is drawing to a close.
The Trump appointee posted an update on Friday and warned lawmakers to stop playing politics when trying to stop the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Admitting he had “several co-morbidities[more than one illness or disease occurring in one person at the same time] and after a brief period when I only experienced minor discomfort, the symptoms accelerated and I became desperately ill,” he wrote he turned the corner after he received the same monoclonal antibody therapy the president received “which I am convinced saved my life.”
“…While I am blessed to have the best medical care in the world (and I am convinced it saved my life), we must prioritize getting comparable treatments and care to everyone as soon as possible.”
Morning everyone
Do this, Georgia.
Thank you for the cheerful post, Nerdy darlin’.
Here’s some non-political Sunday morning cheer from me (and then I’ll go watch 44’s antics):
And now I can’t get that song out of my head. Ha. Also found it sung by Tom Jones last year in Orlando, and found out this year he turned 80 YEARS OLD. My dance moves and singing voice at 74 are laughable, but luckily none of you have to see ’em!
New post.
