Hi
Daaaaaaaaaame Delectable!!!!!
Queena-Blogga-Diva!!! đ
Whatâs shakinâ, Your Royal Sassiness!
:lol: I could say Iâm shaking my ass while dancing to Kenyan music, but I donât want to put everyone off their breakfast.
Ha! Last time I checked, this right here is your house! Shake your pants, Girl! đ
:lol: Okay, Iâll post a video of me shaking my ass in a few mins :cool:
LOL! This I gotta see! đ
Here I am!
Teee-heeeee! đ
Pleeaase…..!
….DONT
:shock: Why not?!
Some things are best left to the imagination.
Actually, me shaking my ass is one of the Seven Wonders of the World :cool:
đđđ
Thatâs okay, I havenât seen pics of all the others, so this works for me.
Welp! Of course a new thread just as I post on the previous one! LOL!
đđđ
Hi, dudette, I saw you peeking in on the last thread and didnât get a chance to say, “hello.” Hope youâre having a good morning.
Hiya JG!
I woke up this morning, Barack Obama is still My Awesome President, and TOD is still here to keep me sane. That makes it a GREAT day!
^5!
Two-handed ^5! đđž
I canât see them - too tiny - do we truly have visual ^5s there?
Blame Apple. I guess their emoji arenât visible on all platforms. Sorry.
‘s okay. I can imagine! :)
Enjoy! :-)

:D :D I canât believe I went through that entire list!!! smh
Good Morning Dudette and Congrats on getting the GOLD. GM Chips & DannyâO.
Gooood Morning Roberta of the North! đ
Wow, Chips, you are so fast off the mark this morning. I was just getting the feel for the Kenya “Farewell” and weâre on to the Ethiopia “Hello.” If it wears me out just keeping up, imagine how PBO and his entourage must feel.
Morning Jackie! You know, most days I wake up I donât know where I am, and Iâve been in the same place for three-ish years, so I canât imagine how PBO feels when his alarm clock goes off :-)
Heâs got the best team around him. They got this!
For lack of anything on TV, I was watching Fox to get the latest news on Trump who is now attacking Walker [YES!]. Ed Henry is on. Tucker now has a hot piece on Hillary, he saying that Valerie Jarrett is the person that tattled on Hillary. It is Ed Henryâs role to deny this, and the two of them have played this same game for hours now reinforcing that Valerie is some kind of nasty tattletale. Why does the WH allow Ed Henry to continue as a WH correspondent? The man is disgusting.
OSgranny, you are made of sterner stuff than I to watch anything on Fox. Even the re-run channels are better. Still, it is good to see Trump attacking Walker. What did he say, by the way?
One of Walkerâs men called Trump a dumb-dumb. Thatâs all it took and Trump has been telling the truth about what Walker has done to Wisconsin and how in debt the state is. The game is on. Trump asked his supporters to put him into first place over Walker in the running.
Is anyone beside me enjoying Trump and the Republicans going at each other?
Well Trump is a Republican too.
You are not alone.
Good Morning TODVille!
So much irony here, OSG. That Walker would accuse Trump of being dumb, when he rivals Perry in being the dimmest bulb of the presidential wannabes; that Walker would assume that Trump would do anything less than a full frontal assault on him-a guy who has a history of destroying everything in sight in Wisconsin. My dearest wish is that Trump decimates Walker and then moves on to Cruz and Bush. Hope he leaves them all in the dust, choking for breath and then manages to self destruct.
I think you will get your wish, Jackie. The Republican candidates are beginning to resemble a flock of headless chickens racing around to who knows where. Trump is the best thing that has happened for the Democrats in a while now. And I still want Ed Henry gone. What a tool he is, staking his career and reputation on doing what others tell him to do.
for the teabagging racist nuts, donald dreck is god sent. Of the entire current lot of kkklowns, he is the only one (carson doesnât count) that hasnât been sucking on gobinment teats (at least not directly) and so they will back him to the bitterest end. would be fun to watch how the rethug establishment will use their ugly southern strategy on him.
Amk, change that to …hasnât been PUBLICALLY sucking… DT has lobbied for and been the beneficiary of special tax breaks for developers.
of course that has been the way of the 1%ers to make money off the gobinment but the teabagging numb nutz donât comprehend that.
Because no one at the White House takes him seriously. Nor should they. Heâs Sunday morning funnies to them.
We need an interpreter. Anyone available? :-)
Hmm I canât get the link above to work, so Iâm watching NTV Kenyaâs live stream on YouTube
Ha! Had to switch between them! Musical links!
Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Sunday morning. Congrats Dudette, on being first this morning.
To all, I hope you have a glorious and illustrious day today <3 <3 <3
Thank God that President Obama is still the President of The United States of America. âđ âđ âđ
Thanks Ranman!
“Hear, hear” to that toast too! đ
yer in my spot.
Heh heh!
You Snooze, You Lose!
Take your rightful place - end of the line, Buddy!
đ
been there. done that. got jacksquat to show for it. #samefail
It is treason, RanMan, and itâs long past time that prominent Dems called them out on it. Iâm not holding my breath, however.
A hearty good morning to Chips, TOD, lurkers, even amk, and congrats Dudette on #1! Chips, you & Nerdy have done an amazing job with covering our Presidentâs trip all weekend-long. I canât thank you ladies enough! Also, much thanks to LP for posting one of the excellent earlier threads. :) :)

Safe Travels Mr. President!
A great send-off for our POTUS. His energy is endless.
meta, what time will POTUS arrive in Ethiopia?
Here you go:
11:0 AM EDT: Arrives Addis Ababa (6:0 PM local time)
Thank you Chipsticks.
Thanks!
Indeed meta. Last weekend he thrilled and enchanted the locals and tourists in NYC….this weekend he has inspired and motivated the citizens of Kenya, and now on to do the same in Ethiopia.
The world will not let him go quietly into that good night after 2017…
While I cannot bear that last ride in a helicopter from the White House, I know he will go on and continue to do a world a good. I wish we could have him the spotlight every day forever.
Yup…It would be more than just a treat & delight to see him operate on the world stage after his Presidency. Itâs a MUST.
<3
How cute is this? đ
This will be a cute video for them if they end up together in the future. Really sweet.
Hope and healing to this child:
GM TOD!
Has anybody made a comprehensive list of where President Obama would win an election….I know polling in Ireland, U.K., Germany, Kenya, Indonesia have all had news reports where they actually tested this theory :cool:
Morning everyone!! Safe travels to President Obama…on his way to Ethiopia…..
This is your Sunday MUST READ and pass…

So good :)
‘…Obamaâs visit to the country â with some mothers evidently hoping their offspring will be future high-flyers. Two mothers in Kisumu City took the unusual decision to name their sons after the presidentâs jet, Air Force One. “I have decided to call my baby AirForceOne Barack Obama so that we can all remember Obamaâs visit to Kenya because it is a huge blessing,” said Lucy Akinyi Okoth, one of the mothers.
Another, Lucy Atieno, decided to simply call her boy AirForce One. “I have been told that it is the best aeroplane because it carries a very powerful leader of America who is also a Kenyan,” she said. The two Air Force Ones were among eight children born on Friday night at Kisumuâs Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Referral Hospital. Six other babies were named after Mr Obama…continuedâ
Looks like WP spam & moderator is not happy with me…paging BT!
Freed! Moooooooorning LP!
TY, Chips! GM & hope youâve had a stress free weekend :???:
AGREED
A million times over!
and needless to say…when women have free access to birth control and preventative health services stats show that there has been a decrease in unwanted pregnancies
Gotta love how the citizens united has come back to bite the rethugs collective asses in the last two cycles. Now every kkklown with their own sugar daddy can inflict as much damage as possible to their brand.
Read the Rolling Stone link I posted a little upthread:) I think if we play our cards just right, Republicans might want to get rid of Citizens United after this election cycle:)
I was roaring when I got to the tractors aka mowers part, and then laughing so hard I couldnât breathe. Thanks for the link.
) Youâre welcome, osg…I could really hear him saying that in my head….
Thx.
Yup, he is the very epitome of what the rethug party has become since nixon.
They sure built that!!! We need to pound that everyday…
Trump hasnât read the GOP language book, so he just says anything that comes to mind. Itâs what they actually are, but they just have all those words fed to them to make their garbage more palatable to general voters. Trump doesnât know/doesnât care that after the nomination, general voters actually have to vote for the President. For Trump, itâs just a popularity contest.

See if any of you recognize the young man who introduce FLOTUS last night.

Do they ever?
Iâm intrigued by the possibility of directs flights from America to Nairobi once the State Department works through all the issues.
ok…

Heâs such an idiot. A shooting has nothing to do with guns? If he thinks that, then maybe heâs got bigger issues than just being an idiot.
Well peeps, if u are wondering where Pres Obama in Ethiopia here he is >>>http://sodere.com/page/ethiopian-tv-live
