I had a great time yesterday, but I must have overexerted myself, because I overslept and am running quite late. Because I moved to the East side of the river, I get a new Store to Door delivery driver and grocery delivery day is now Thursday. So I have a grocery delivery coming, but I have no idea what time. I expect to be back in the saddle until Sunday.
Jig Zone Puzzle:
Today’s took me 5:49 (average 7:12). To do it, click here. How did you do?
Short Takes:
From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): El Paso Residents, Officials Protest President Donald Trump Visit
When Lawrence called the Trump infestation to Dayton and El Paso campaign stops, he could not be more spot on. Kudos for not repeating the oral sewer output. RESIST!!
From YouTube (Jesse Dollemore Channel): Takedown of Tucker Carlson & His Lie About the Threat of Violent White Supremacists Being a Hoax!
A white supremacist at Faux Noise? Oh my! What a shock! Seriously, hate and racism have been the stock and trade of the Republican Reichsministry of Propaganda for years. Kudos to Jesse! RESIST!!
From Alternet: According to a report from the Wall Street Journal [Murdoch delinked], major Wall Street financial institutions have handed a wealth of information on Russians linked to Donald Trump and members of his family to congressional committees.
The report states, there are “thousands of pages of documents related to Russians who may have had dealings with Mr. Trump, his family or his business,” according to sources.
“Some banks are also giving documents related to Mr. Trump’s business, the Trump Organization, to New York state investigators,” the report continues.
Among the institutions turning over documents, are Bank of America Corp. , Citigroup Inc.,Deutsche Bank AG , JPMorgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo & Co.
Drip… drip… drip… RESIST!!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
5:44 Let there be light.
I missed this 2 weeks ago but it’s just as fresh today.
Lawrence – “No political appetite” – he means there is no appetite among politicians who get money from theNRA. At least, that would be the truth – so it probably isn’t what he means.
Other JD – I saw a photo of Carlson smiling once, and it sent chills down my spine. But I can tell you what he means by saying “White supremacy is a hoax.” He means “The idea that whites are not the Master Race is a hoax.” Incidentally, no one seems to be pointing out that RUSSIA is ALSO a real problem!
AlterNet – Yes. Looking forward to details.
Cartoon – Another caption might be, “I’ll defend my treasure inside to my last breath!”
MSNBC: imho, there is ‘nothing’ in his job description for him to lead the people. He knows nothing, says nothing, and does nothing. Except spew his hate and rhetoric.
JDC: Good video. Read this morning, that Carlson is on ‘vacation’. He spreads the lies, as dt can testify also.
AN: Took a while, but now starts the uncovering of his devious acts, YAY!!
Cartoon: Yep, pretty much says it all right there!
New digs, and a new schedule to get used to. 😉 Hope that you have a good day, take care, Thanks, Tom.
This just in: “Press not allowed in any hospitals at Dayton so dt could stage the FAKE Trump-loving photo shots (and videos) for his 2020 campaign.” ~ Tammy J. ~
2. DT spewing attacks: “Apparently, dt’s plan to bring the County together is to unite everyone in America against him.” ~ anon ~
3. “Trump said he had an ‘amazing day’??! People died, and YOU had an amazing day??! ~Yolie M. ~
*Joanne: Thanks for RR, he’s adorable, and spot on!! (his mom must be so proud of him, I know I would be!)
This just in from Bette Midler:
#MoscowMitch is so deluded
I thought it thru & I concluded
He hates most colors, sad but true,
Obstructing anything that’s Blue.
Now white’s his favorite, yer damn tootin’
And Red is Great, like Mr Putin,
Color’s driven his whole life
Wonder what he tells his wife.
#MoscowMitch is so damn mean
In truth, his favorite color’s $$$GREEN!
Bette Midler simply does NOT EVER disappoint!
I was fortunate enough to have attended one of her concerts here in KCMO back when I had hearing. And I can still remember a few of her highlights:
“Gee, lady – don’t you have a vase?”
(OK – that might get your heads scratching. Maybe someone remembers the joke. It’s “R” rated. HEY – It’s Bette Midler!)
LOL – I remember!
I’ve always liked Bette, she’s awesome, and doesn’t mince her words.
Can we clone her??
Thank you TomCat
Sleeping late? Over-exerting oneself? Been there, done that, bought the commemorative T-shirt.
No question that tRump is the “weakest mind” that has ever plopped its arse in the Oval Office. No political appetite for outlawing assault rifles? Open your damn eyes! I don’t need to see that WH propaganda B.S. unless I need to throw up.
Way to go, Beto O’Rourke – you just moved up on my list of favored candidates. Liz Warren is still my pick, but my choice is not carved in marble.
The response to this latest bloodbath does boost my faith in humanity, if not in the yellow-bellied weenies in Congress. How many other places must we be “Strong” before we finally reach the tipping point and break the cruel grip the Nuts Ruling America has on our elected representatives? ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, DAMMIT! We need to resist not just the hate and bigotry, but also the vicious and powerful gun lobby.
I’m not at all shocked that Faux News would keep a snooty, racist crumb on its foul airwaves.
So Wall Street businesses are turning over dirt on the Orange Ogre? Keep it comin’, love! Even if we can’t impeach the S.O.B., we can vote his tangerine tush out of the White House – then we can REALLY nail him. The first POTUS to go to prison? Pourquoi pas?
Great cartoon, because we all know what Republicans are full of!
Thanks for the video, Joanne D – actually, it’s even more germane today than two weeks ago. Thanks also for digging up Bette Midler’s poem.
OMGoodness!!!!
How brilliant is the new R.R.🏳️🌈 vid!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣
i missed it too!!!
TY TC
4:38 I think I saw the light, dimly though.
MSNBC: I hope Lawrence’s wasn’t the only show that didn’t show the White House propaganda handed to them. It’s bad enough that Trumps has his own Faux News network working for him, and that he uses taxpayers money to make propaganda campaign videos; other networks, banned from gathering their own material should not allow themselves to be used as extension of the Trump campaign.
JDC: Is Tucker Carlson any more of a white supremacist than most of his colleagues? Faux News is a hydra: when you cut one head off, two heads will grow back in its place.
Alternet: So many financial institutions involved with Trump and his clan; those handing over the requested information are probably the top of the iceberg. Why would Trump or the Russians need to use so many different sources, unless they had to hide something? If just this stream of information on Trump-Russian dealings, consists of so many pages, imagine how much there really is out there. It must be enough to convict him three times over.
Cartoon: That ‘townhall’ must be overflowing by now. It’s starting to seep through the pores.
MSNBC: Agree with Pat.
JDC: Have to admit that it sure seems like the idiots that work at faux news are white supremacist with the way they speak such hatred. They love duplicating the dumba*s we have in the W.H.
Alternet: Finally….it took them long enough to finally catch on.
Cartoon: Ain’t that a fact??
Glad you had a nice time yesterday. Plus got to sleep in this morning. You certainly needed it.
Liked the R.R. that Joanne posted, Thanks.
Wonderful to hear you had a great time yesterday! Always good to get out and about for enjoyment.
Thanks and TGIF Hugs to all.
