Hey yo!
Congrats on First, LL! :-D
Naturally—I finally type a comment and it is a new thread.
What???
It’s not all about me?
Just kidding (not)
Hello, Chips and TOD
LOL - it’s not just you Vicki. I’ve had that same experience many times! :) :)

Do anyone beside me wonder if something isn’t wrong with Donald Trump?.
Apart from the fact that he’s a malignant narcissist? Yes I think there’s something deeply wrong with him.
This is truly the dangerous of the age of proud ignorance …this is the danger of mistrust of facts…mistrust of institutions…that a Presidential candidate can lie…about a fact and it is believed…and because for the past 7 years the media has fed and normalized this fringe racist phobia…they are about to be eaten alive….and unless the we the people and the press push back hard…it could have dire consequences for us all
My comment which closes the previous thread relates to the moving photo Chips has given us.
Here is the bottom line about Laquan McDonald
Top Question that needs to be answered.
1. WAS the spot where Laquan was killed the place where the ORIGINAL 9-1-1 call was taken?
The answer to this question is EVERYTHING to me.
Because, why the hell do you put someone in a squad car, and take them to ANOTHER LOCATION that is NOT the police station, and then get the person out of the squad car?
I haven’t seen the original story of how this young man died. I’ll go search for it.
How you can help in your area. The very BEST way to shut up the haters, is to help those in need. Makes your heart happy, too:)

Thanks so much for posting this. I see there is a church very close to me. I will check them out as soon as I’m through with Thanksgiving and report cards.
Is Tally here?? Tally, sent you a text
I’m looking at that picture and being very thankful that President Obama is still the President of the United States
Thank you meta for the educational tweet
AG Lynch is on the job it’s just that there is so many of these incidents in every state. Whites are worried about ISIS AA’s are worried about deadly racist cops and prosecutors.
Well POTUS will pardon the turkeys tomorrow.
To maintain a sense of normalcy.
Not for the turkeys, of course.
Speaking of turkey….
Enjoy Stephen TOD. This clip made me hungry. I’m off to eat some dinner :-)
Still can’t touch this scene from the best TV show ever:
The West Wing “President Bartlet and the Butterball Hotline” (Season 3, Episode 8 The Indians in the Lobby)
Brings to mind this scene from the best TV show EVER - The West Wing (Season 3, Episode 8 The Indians in the Lobby)
President Bartlet and the Butterball Hotline
I hope the girls are there - just to troll the damn media… :) :)
You can vote on which one should be pardoned.
Welp, I posted that in the wrong place. Sorry. This was in response to bella’s mentioning that the turkey pardoning ceremony takes place tomorrow.
Never mind! It seems I’m in the twilight zone tonight! :-)
The Twilight Zone marathon is less than 2 months away! :)
Ha! Thanks! :-)
Apparently even his turkey pardoning has come in for some criticism.

“The examples of the GOP’s reflexive opposition to President Obama’s agenda are many but this may be the best one yet: by a 27 point margin Republicans say they disapprove of the President’s executive order last year pardoning two Thanksgiving turkeys (Macaroni and Cheese) instead of the customary one. Only 11% of Republicans support the President’s executive order last year to 38% who are opposed- that’s a pretty clear sign that if you put Obama’s name on something GOP voters are going to oppose it pretty much no matter what. Overall there’s 35/22 support for the pardon of Macaroni and Cheese thanks to 59/11 support from Democrats and 28/21 from independents.”
Severe Obama Derangement Syndrome
The press feeds on this kind of racist drama. Helps to feed the anti PBO drama
I wish he’d come out against breathing.
Did anyone see Rachel talking about President Obama nominating Adam Szubin in April, Szubin is good at going after terrorists money. Well Mitch McConnell has not allow the vote to approve Adam Szubin. Now what kind of sense does this make, we need to use every weapon we have against ISIS, but yet the Republicans are playing politics.
I didn’t see her show and I’m not up on Adam Szubin’s future role, but if the President nominates someone, McConnell will delay or vote against it. Just another RWNJ dirty trick. If the President said tomorrow that we should “play nice” with ISIS, they’d send in their own kids to fight ’em. Kidding about that last part, of course.
Ha - nice surreal photo of Bernie, for his supporters’ albums!
Looks like a diverse group. Hope so.
Maybe, the tide is changing. The picture gives one hope…
It’s about time for hope to enter the picture. Everybody’s waited long enough.
Such a beautiful, heart-warming story! Thanks for sharing it Alycee!
What a wonderful story! This 7 year-old boy’s actions, as well as the Muslim Community’s Response, has so much to teach all humanity.
Good Evening, TODVille.
Good evening, NCLB!
Weird stuff going on. Thought I posted a video (twice now), but it doesn’t show up after the page refreshes. [‘puters! hate ’em!]
Okay, I’m gonna finish posting tweets about today’s Medal of Freedom Recipients. Bear with me. I think some of them, you’ll find interesting.
Cynthia Robinson, trumpet player with Sly and the Familt Stone has passed away. Damn. May she Rest in Power.
Aw, so sorry to hear of her passing. May she rest in peace.
Your late night messages are such a delight Dudette - soothing my mixed up brain :) Blessings
Aw thanks 99ts! Glad you’re here to enjoy these with me! :-)

Good Night and Good Day!
Good Morning TODVille!
