:cool:
Really enjoying *these* ‘lame duck’ presidential activities.
You beat me vc. That’s okay though.
Hi Jackie4O! I’ll let you enjoy the crown as I was just strolling by.
You’re too kind. Thank you.
:)
Congratsssssssssssss VC….
Seems like a good place to be to cast another look at today’s triumphs, Pf. :D
Congrats ‘oh quiet one’ :)
Here’s a little gift for you ….
h/t Dudette :)
Am I the kitten or the owl?
You are more of an Howl.
:D :D You can have no idea how close you are!
Hmmm. dare I?
I try not to dare people, so I’ll remain silent. Now you remember to be your better self. :D
Oh, and TY for the gift. :D :D
You’re welcome, VC :)
And, you can be either or both :)
Super cute!
Congrats, VC! What an incredible difference President Obama is making.

Firsties! Hi NW.
Hi, Jackie!
A completely perfect round-up of the day Nerd, thank you ENORMOUSLY!!
You’re welcome.
Thank you…Thank you….So very much for these wonderful pictures and videos….thank you…Nerdy Wonka….sometimes thanks just doesn’t seem to be enough
Thank you so much, PF.
What a day, NW!!!! Thank you for capturing the essence of it!!!
Thanks, Bob.
I missed this whole thing, NW - thanks so much!
You’re welcome, Ms. J’OB.
Great roundup of the president’s busy day, NerdyW. Thank you.
:)
i so enjoyed how the President …just toyed with the WHPC….
Major Garrett is always comparing his to the President…and always comes up “short”…real short…almost a nub
I have to share JackieG’s earlier comment again - they cannot one-up the president no matter how smart they *think* they are!
thank youi for sharing that…she is on point…
my comments are Major Garrett is always comparing his to the President’s…and he always comes up short…
O, I know what you were saying, Garrett reminds me of Ed Henry and the timely message PBO had to give Henry a while back. [for the shorter version go to ~4:05 ;) ]
Thank you for these beautiful and huge pictures!
The reviews are in from all corners: “The President wiped the place clean”. “The President schooled the press corps.”
I love it!

GM amk!
Just got home sorry if these are duplicates from today’s presser
May not even need a veto…..
After all the ranting & raving, aka spewing lies & fear mongering, the thugs will fall in line. Just watch.
They have no answer for an alternative….plus I bet on D side some folks will get threatened with primary challengers… I think right now Menendez, Schumer, Warner, Kaine & Blumenthal are possibly the only defectors. Can lose 6.
Excuse the language, but Menendez, Schumer, Warner, Kaine and Blumenthal can kiss my Democratic ass.
Throw Heitkamp, Donnelly, Tester, and possibly Nelson in the mix….but I don’t think it is going to get to that point. The President seems to have already won over Coons, Manchin, & Murphy through their statements/t.v. hits today….but they can kiss my ass if the rest don’t get on board soon.
With ya on that! :)
So Lawrence O’Donnell just said that there is always a reporter who want to make the press conference all about them. Guess who he is talking about?
One guess?. Come on, one guess? Ma-jor Gar-re-tt.
Laurence O…is about to explain the WHPC….might be interesting
It was everything we’ve been saying here. Everything TODVille has known since POTUS became… POTUS.
yup
Fascinating.
LOL.
Little Major Garrett is getting the fame he looked for. He wanted to strike a nerve… and he got the proper response: delusional guy seeking limelight in the shadow of an Iran Deal he would never understand, no matter how experienced a reporter he is. Jerk!
Anyone see Lawrence O’Donnell’s section tonight about Major Garrett? Guess the Major dug himself in further defending himself after that horribly worded question today.
Yes, I did. Lawrence did an excellent job at putting the Major where he belongs. An egomaniac!
Damn man :( :(
“Even the president doesn’t want to believe. According to “Game of Thrones�? director David Nutter, when he met the commander-in-chief recently (we assume while President Obama was fundraising in Los Angeles last June), he expressed his deep concern for one particular citizen of Westeros. “He turned to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said, ‘You didn’t kill Jon Snow did you?’�? recalled Nutter during a Comic-Con panel….
…“Jon Snow is deader than dead,�? Nutter recalled telling the president, an admitted GoTer, despite his fear of being “sent to Guantanamo or something.�? The president, continued the director, was none too pleased: “You keep killing off my favorite characters,�? Obama complained.
Jon SNOW is dead but Jon Targaryen is alive and well.
Ah, Jeff. A fellow reader of the books. The young un-dead Targaryen is the fictional depiction of HenryVll, Henry the Eight’s father, raised in France who returns to England and captures the throne.
Not a stretch. Lannisters are the Lancasters who ruled England before the Henry the seventh. not much of a disguise
I always love hearing that the President does find some down time to watch these shows. He manages to take a break at some point! (…I don’t know how and when…)
A few bj’ers are bed wetting over john kasich who - the stealth candie, we all have to be afraid since he is a sensible rethug, blah, blah. Reminds me of jon huntsman who brouhaha.
If HRC can’t beat Kasich, well, that’s just pathetic.
These folks don’t understand how the GOP primary system works. A sensible candidate who could win a general election cannot get through the primaries, where the candidates have to cater to the extreme right in order to win. Huntsman never stood a chance because he dared to work for the Obama Administration (the equivalent of working for Hitler to the nuts on the right). I never understood how people thought he could win the GOP nomination.
Even that one RWNJ website or blog referred to Huntsman back then as a betrayer, for having decided to run for President while actually working for the President. Of course, Huntsman denied anything inappropriate because RWNJ.
Today’s talk of the criminal justice system reminded me of this.
bbl …. sup prep :)
‘Trump cats’ feature felines with crazy hairlines
This is good. This is so gooooooood. Thanks.
Cats. Do. Not. Like. This. * This. Makes. Cats. Mad. * See. The. Mad. Kitteh. Faces. * Kittehies. Like. To. Look. Pretty. * Not. Ugly.
Why would anyone actually touch his hair/head? The thought alone gives me the wheeby-jeebies!
I was asking the same question!
Both sad and uplifting in parts, but relevant to some of today’s discussions. Watch
What a day:) Had some shrimp and grits tonight for dinner…yummy! Never had those together before…really delish. Off to watch Funny Lady…love that movie…and Barbra and Omar are superb together….see everyone tomorrow
Oh, dear. Sorry, no idea why this posted, it’s not at all what I thought it would be. Nice tho, I love Vincent!!
…hee, hee…
Seems like everyone is either lurking or napping. Okay, I’m taking myself off to read a book or something.
Sweet dreams!
ohhhhh myyyy goodnesss….
what will major Garrett say NOW….will he attempt to take credit for this…..
Looks like it happened slightly before he could claim credit. We see you, Garrett!
Goodnight, TODville! Goodnight to The Major Garrett Show aka Sleepless in D.C. #Bozo
P.S. Gotta love the locals!
Good night TOD
