hello, nerdy
Congratulations, Vicki! Way to go, Canada. I’m old enough to remember Justin Trudeau’s father. Hope the son does a great job for Canada.
Me too, Judith!
Me three nath :)
Yes indeed, 99! His father was one of the most charismatic politicians in the world.
He was there with the Kennedys in world wide acclaim. Has taken awhile but hope seems to have a left wing flavour
Hello, Vicki.
Congrats on 1st Vicky.
Now for a substantive contribution.
No. There will never be another PBO.
But as I mentioned at the end of the previous post, PBO is getting lots of world wide company in the Sane Lane.
Welcome, Justin Trudeau.
Notice how the emoprog media is quick to use Trudeau to passive-aggressively shade PBO.
Yes. Nobody will equal Michelle Obama on style. Just to pick one obvious thing out of the thousands.
And this may be mean but I think it is necessary.
Did anybody notice what Mrs. Trudeau was wearing last night? I’m not sure if it was a dress or, what? culottes? don’t know. that is all I’m going to say.
No one will equal Michelle Obama on alot of things, she is a First Lady of style yes, but she also is a very intelligent women, who don’t get enough credit about that.
For sure Bella, the media like to only talk about women’s dress/style but some have been forced to acknowledge that FLOTUS has much more to offer over and above her most delightful style.
And they’ll give lots of praise to Mr. Trudeau for his progressive policies, WITHOUT acknowledging that Mr. Trudeau will operate in a parliamentary system, where he won’t have ANY legislative obstruction.
It is exceedingly rare for a government in a parliamentary system to be defeated on the floor of parliament. The only time this may happen (as in Australia at the minute) is if the upper house (our senate) has a minority of government members. Then the government has to negotiate with minority parties/independents.
Trudeau has a majority & in most instances he would also have the support of the NDP. The other thing about Canada/Australia - it is relatively rare - other than on social issues - for a party member to vote against his/her party.
Yep! They are using him the same they use Bernie Sanders who voted against sensible gun control bills and voted against closing Gitmo.
I was as pleased as punch that Canadian voters gave Harper the boot. He was a corporate tool, through and through, and Canadians deserve better. What pleased me most was that Justin Trudeau soundly beat the snot of of Harper’s conservatives!
They had over 68% turnout. If Dems here did that, we’d win it all.
Yes indeedy!!!. Hi guys, I’ve been peeping in..wth with Ryan, terms and conditions? Guess he doesn’t want to go the way of Boner
And I answered on the last thread - Australia isn’t there yet - and wtg on 1st
Hey, y’all. Hope all is well in TOD land.
Aloha Todville!
Delurking to ask what is wrong with that woman’s teeth? In the previous post, with the fabulous Michelle Obama making room, right at the end, the blonde lady in front does something very strange with her mouth. I might have nightmares about this.
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…MAYBE SHE HAS AN EXTRA SET…DON’T WORRY…UNLESS SHE ENTERS YOUR HOUSE AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH CHAINS!!!
aiyeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
I found that blonde woman pretty annoying too. Plus she did something weird with her tongue.
Congrats Vicki :)
TY NW!! :)

TEXAS “CLOCK KID” TO MOVE TO QATAR
…In a statement, the Mohamed family said, “After careful consideration of all the generous offers received, we would like to announce that we have accepted a kind offer from Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF) for Ahmed to join the prestigious QF Young Innovators Program, which reflects the organization’s on-going dedication to empowering young people and fostering a culture of innovation and creativity.” …http://www.cbsnews.com/news/texas-clock-kid-ahmed-mohamed-to-move-to-qatar
I don’t blame them. Get the hell out of Texas and the gun-loving-hate-mongering US of Assholes. I am sorry if I am offending people but as generous as the USA can be it always takes a tragedy like handcuffing a kid for no reason to reach out. Too little too late in my opinion and the state of Texas legislatures and authority feel they did nothing wrong. I would rather this kid go to another country then to wind up “accidently” dead by a cop or gun loving kid whose family owns a boat load of guns or get gunned down in college.
And there goes a great potential out of the US of A
GE TOD.
Paul Ryan is playing this for what it is worth……..I honestly can’t say that I blame him…….Both Ryan and his Party are not only dysfunction…..they are wickedly cruel.
Higher salary, guaranteed for life, benefits and health care for his family for life, car, servants, limited working hours. No calls after 8 pm, open access to the Oval Office at all hours, even when First Family is on vacation… shall I go on? What an eff’er, what a stupid stupid man.
so basically, no effing way I will run?
The GOPers will cave and then Nail him like they did Boehner and McCarthy after he has already been sworn in.
One can only hope. That drivel he spouted? He seems to think no one will remember his budget he had proposed, what a couple of yrs ago?
Congrats Viki for your Au :star: and Ag :star: ;)
Would have liked to post this on White House Astronomy night but just didn’t have the time ….

Three mayors have now come forward to dispute the Clinton campaign.
This is unbelievable! (Not really)
Phony endorsements now——voting booths in Harlem, 2008 Primary that did not register even a single vote for Senator Obama. Thanks to Charlie Rangel ? maybe—
Plus New Hampshire, 2008 exit polls that showed a large win for Senator Obama, then a last minute swarm of drivers with Mass. plates who showed up when Mrs. Greenspan was reporting from the suddenly busy parking lot in New Hampshire. Nothing proven but certainly unusual.
In her rush to mount a show of power and influence, they aren’t being very careful. She has the worst people around her.
It’s these kinds of tactics, which are obviously grounded in hubris, that will reinforce the meme that HRC, like Bill Clinton, can’ be trusted.
And seriously, the most egregious was the mayor of Wilmington, for crying out loud! Did they think no one would notice that?
These are the types of situations that always seems to engulf the Clintons.
This tells me Vice President Joe Biden is definitely running. LOL!

Bill doesn’t want to ruin his reputation
I was reading in the Aug-Sept issue of Mountain Astrologer magazine about the 2016 presidential election. This person did an astrology chart for Inauguration Day 2016 and said, “This seems to indicate a presidency with strong ideals, a very compassionate approach, and a focus on health care issues and the needs of the under-privileged….this chart does not really have a Republican feel.” The author went on to say he thought it would be a long time before the Republican candidate is known.
In another article in the Oct/Nov issue of the magazine a writer indicated they felt Trump’s popularity would begin to fade in mid-November.
I personally feel the prediction for the president feels more like VPBiden than HRC, and certainly than BS or any of the Republican candidates. And one can only hope that the prediction re Trump occurs soon, although I do understand the desire to have him stick around for another few months to keep the Republicans off balance. It will be interesting to see if these predictions come true.
Very interesting!
Indeed there will NOT….
i am just beginning to reconcile the fact that the President will not be President
sequel.
The entire British landscape has been shifting this year. Canada and Australia elected liberal PMs.
The Labour party in England elected a very left leader.
56 out of 59 Scottish districts chose their reps from the Scottish National Party,which is anti-war, anti-austerity and welcoming to immigrants and diversity.
Cameron is still the Big Cheese but the ground is moving beneath him. And today
Justin Trudeau told PBO that Canada would be bringing its planes home from Syria.
No we did not Vicki - see my reply to you on the last thread. Australia has an old style GOP type PM & a RWNJ government - Abbott was rolled by his party - there was no election. In the Westminster system the parliamentary party, not the people, elect the leader.
If the US had our system, John Boehner would be the PM

We better be off fossil fuels quick smart, if we don’t want to be wading through a cesspool of our own making, once called Planet Earth. _/|\_
I read this article and it seems the Dems are planning to run on how bad the GOP is, yet again. Because that path worked so well (for the Republicans) in 2014.
The Democratic party does not want to win and have the responsibility of displeasing the Corporate Overlords. Win the WH, okay. But not the House or Senate.
Much more fun for the Dems to fill their pockets while blaming the GOP.
I am beginning to believe that the DEMS just refuse to believe that the President’s way of winning using Optimism…HOPE and grass roots organizing is the way…Trudeau from Canada…just did it…
Negativity and fear may work on Republicans but it does not work for DEMS…never has…
Well, this worked pretty well in 2006 for the Dems.
when you have been through it before, it becomes easier to recognize how the media sharpens its “knives” to attack a politician who fails to conform to the media’s expectations of beltway behavior.
whatever he decides to do about 2016, I hope VP is ready to deal with the mean attacks that are being prepared to come his way;
some of the stuff I am reading makes me think of a pack of beltway wolves stalking their prey => despicable !
‘There will never be another. 😔’
This would make a terrific hashtag! Could provide lots of opportunities for us to showcase our PBO/MLRO favourite pics (and we all know every TODobot has hundreds of favourites). Later on in the year, maybe? At Thanksgiving possibly?
and then this too
Ryan has boxed his caucus in…..They will Cave and then turn around and stab him deep in the Back, twisting the 6″ Blade ;)
Ryan is in… Damn… He worries me. He’s more intelligent than Boehner and much more ideological. And on top of it, I suspect he doesn’t like the President at all, while John Boehner liked the President and had a good relationship with him behind the scenes.
Ryan, I think was also one of the attendees at the Jan 20th, 2009 political Coup d’etat conducted at a DC Steak House by Frank Luntz, along with Newt Gingrich, Eric Cantor, Kevin McCarthy, Jim DeMint, Sen Coburn, etc.
He was there Nena - probably time for an update on what happened to them all - they haven’t done well - so I don’t give Ryan much of a show in his latest reincarnation of a person.
the knives have been out there for mr ryan from day one. he’ll get out using these weaselly words.
You are 1001% Correct
Sh*t just hit the fan :)
Check out Drudge. Oh myy! It is going to get Ugly ;)
wait, I thought the kenyan usurper was the king/dictaytor. what a fucking idjit.
OH, and shorter hours, don’t expect me to work.
So he’ll take the job and the benefits but won’t put in the time - sounds like a true GOPer
hmmmmm…i wonder if all the rewriting of the President’s foreign policies by the Clinton have more to do with John Kerry than the President himself…just imagine how it would have been…if John Kerry had won the Peace Prize…..
as rikyah…would say…
Uh Huh
Uh Huh
He’s probably a good chance for next year
I listened live to the victory speech of PM-elect Mr. Justin Trudeau last night.
Yes he emphasized that Canada wouldn’t be going into global conflicts in the manner PM Harper had favored and pushed.
Rather, he specified that Canada would go back to its more traditional role of engaging in the world - like peace-keeping etc.
I don’t know if I believe the story about the reports that PM-elect Mr. Justin Trudeau disclosed that he told PBO that Canadian fighter jets will be returning home from Iraq, Syria etc.
wasn’t this a private phone call between the two leaders?
I doubt if this is the first thing they would be talking and that if so, the new leader would carelessly disclose the details of the first private conversation.
I suspect that this is something that will be discussed later and not immediately reported in a public way
It was a campaign promise and may be he wanted to show in public how he is making good on his promise. Remember Obama signing the no-more-torture as policy on day one?

p.m. carpenter with a nice take on v.p. biden, which is similar to al giordano’s ideas:
http://pmcarpenter.blogs.com/p_m_carpenters_commentary/2015/10/still-unannounced-joe-biden-comes-out-swinging.html
Except he quoted Ezra Klein. A-hem.
i think i read a while ago that justin trudeau is for the keystone pipeline. what’s a white privilege progressive to do?!? seems the only people they can trust are bernie sanders and russian spy ed snowjob…they certainly can’t trust the most liberal president in many generations, that’s for sure! remember though, they have black friends and cry when watching m.l.k. speeches, so totes not racist…at all!!!1!
ha, so predictable! they’ve been constantly denigrating and protesting against the most “green” president ever, by far, but making excuses for the nice white young man on literal day 1 on one of their biggest issues in recent years. gee, i wonder what could be the difference between these two liberal leaders in the mind of white purity progressives? such a mystery (sarcasm!) ;)
What passes for news, eh? Unreal!

The Formulaic Commercial Media Has Another “Doh!” Moment
So apparently a “journalist” at the Washington Post has two stories already written: one if Vice President Joe Biden gets into the presidential race, and a different story if he chooses not to run. The first draft got published accidentally o the Washington Post web site!
what a shitty english for a reporter. jeez.
Amen!
And on this tweet, G’Nite Lovable TODville Community ;)
bj egg.sack.lee post
In fact, that he didn’t refuse Romney because of the same desire for family time (opting instead to run simultaneously for both national office and the House) more than exposes his statement as a flimsy fig leaf.
It seems like that justin did live up to his campaign promise.
Canadian Prime Minister-designate Justin Trudeau has confirmed he will withdraw Canadian fighter jets from the air strikes against Islamic State (IS) in Iraq and Syria.
He informed US President Barack Obama of his decision hours after leading his Liberal party to victory in the polls.
As part of his election campaign, Mr Trudeau pledged to bring home the CF-18 fighter jets that were deployed to the region until March 2016.
He has not yet given a timescale.
