Congrats on first GGail!
Hi Betsy, thanks!
Did your niece have a good time in SoCal?
We had a great time at the birthday brunch for our PurpleshoesLA. LL was even there! :-)
I hope you will be able to attend the February birthday Brunch. Look for the email next month.
Yes, she did and she’s gone back to Australia now. It was wonderful to have her, but I’m behind with work in a major way and have parent-teacher conferences next week, so I need to get it done asap. I would have loved to have been there, was actually really bummed out! Oh well, family first…. I would love to go to the February one, so I will look out for the email. Thanks.
OMGoodness
I got lucky :D :D
Love that picture. Hello ladies. Always look forward to the President’s speeches.
JER!!!! <3
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS…I MADE IT!
Stepping high, are you? Well done!
I SMASHED THE BREAD FROM THE GROCERY STORE BUT THE BIRDS WON’T MIND..PRECHEWED!
Hey girl, how are you doing?
They’ve had me working so hard, I haven’t had time to play in the Village.
I’m good. Also working hard ……. for a change! :)
No comment from me (as I nod my head in affirmation) :-)
:D :D
I’ll be ‘free’ soon. This contract only goes till the beginning of February, then I’ll be back ‘on call’.
But you’re off today? Or are you just working in the mornings?
Mornings only, but I have had to take work home daily.
YOU ARE MISSED WHEN YOU AREN’T HERE GGAIL!…TAPPING FEET…WAITING FOR YOU KNOW WHO!
{{{{{Sue}}}} you’re so kind, thank you <3
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…YES YOU DID!..:))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Thanks so much, Chips! Can’t believe I made it, in time for the speech!
Welcome to Detroit, Supersonic Jacqueline!!
Thank you, Electrifyin’ Chips!
:lol: That is the least accurate name for me that I have EVER heard - but thank you, jewel-y Jacqueline!
Chips - I had to go with that; otherwise, it would have been “Bolt” in keeping with the car show, dontcha know. You electrify all of us, that’s for sure!
I would like to see a picture of this….
speaking of Conyers…has he spoken about Sanders
I’m really proud of Jamie Foxx. He didn’t have to come out of his home to check on and then rescue that guy, but, he did.
Exactly. Brave and heartwarming!
Just like you or I would have done, J’OB
Hope so! At least I think I’d try!
That’s all that is required of us - an effort.
How sad for that father to have watched the security camera footage from Jamie’s camera and see cars driving past the burning vehicle.
Any idea why over 40 democrats voted for it in the house - despite it would be vetoed? Do they ever support the President and their own party - or are they wimps to the media?
I HOPE THEY HAVE ALOT OF SS ON HIM TODAY. WONDER IF THE SCHOOL TEACHERS WILL LATCH ONTO PBO..86 SCHOOLS SHUT DOWN THERE DUE TO DISREPAIR!
I like this speaker who is introducing, PBO.
Ha! I just made comment that she was driving me batty with her hair in her face :D :D
Tut-tut! *I* was only focused on her words and her obvious authenticity.
When I grow up, I want to be like you vc :-), but until then…
‘but until then…’ I’ll pray for you (as the repubs do)
I need them too :-)
You need repub prayers!!? I don’t know, GxG, their committing to pray always strikes me as lip service only.
No, No, No, I need *Your* prayers.
Phew! You got me worried for a moment or so there.
That woman and her hair/shaking her hair out of her face is causing me to twitch
I LOVE THAT STATEMENT….YOU CAN’T ‘SHORTCHANGE’ PUBLIC SERVICE…THE THINGS YOU DO FOR THE PEOPLE!-FLINT!…..THIS CROWD IS FIRED UP!
PBO’s life is so relate-able.
I LOVE IT…”I DIDN’T RUN TO BE POPULAR.”…..I HAVE TO SAY I AM NEVER EVER GOING TO FORGET THIS PRESIDENT!
😆
I HEARD THAT!…”FOUR MORE YEARS!”
Kinda like Trump is doing to GOP. Let’s hope Bernie doesn’t end up screwing up the Dem party.
In my opinion Debbie Wasserman-Shultz already did that. I am so disgusted on the handling of this election and the coronation of she who shall not be named. I think that is a common feeling by many.
My daughter said she has the feeling from all of the Sanders supporters she knows that they are somewhat equivalent to the Tea Party on the right.
Love to buy American made products
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER….A DIVIDED COUNTRY WILL NOT STAND!
Every single time I listen to the President, I get that same warm and fuzzy feeling. We know we’re hearing a kind, sane, ultra-intelligent, innovative, mesmerizing voice of hope and change - and progress - every damn time he talks! Love the man.
And Bruce wants him to play his songs at these rallies, that’s the difference!
exactly right JO’B.
Unbelievable statistic, Bob, and it could be a whole lot worse. These are the things the warmongers don’t care about. Makes me more determined to keep them out of office, in our own country.
Me too, Jacqueline!
HOW MANY PRESIDENTS BOTHER TO FOLLOW STUDENTS AS THEY GROW UP?…………………………BRIANNA’S STORY………………BEAUTIFUL INDEED…THAT’S HOW COMPASSION WORKS…IT NEVER ENDS….IT DOES NOT CHERRY PICK THE PEOPLE IT WANTS TO WORK FOR……………………BECAUSE OF YOU…MR. PRESIDENT!…YOU ARE LOVED!…BBL…………….I NEVER UNLOADED THE GROCERIES FROM THE CAR…LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
I so love him and all he had done for this country, for we the people.
has not had.
Gotta go back to work, see y’all later :-)
This worries me…because i do not trust the so-called progressives…
this is definitely a case of be careful what you wish for…
*cough-cough* … Anyone?
GA VC.
I’ll see you baby mountain lions and raise you mama and baby elephant: :)
Sorry my dear, but there’s just no comparison! Did you see the baby blues on those lions? ;) :)
:D :D :D
Sometimes i think we are just having too much fun…smilin…
THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS STONEKETTLE…………..IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!
This morning I heard Bill Press pimping his new book about PBO called “Buyer’s Remorse ……. I cannot believe these so-called progressives.
I stopped listening to him a while back too! Bill Press is the disappointment not PBO.
WE’VE ALL KNOWN THIS FOR YEARS…AND RIGHT WINGERS WILL FOREVER TRY AND HIDE IT…JUST LIKE THEY TURN AWAY FROM THE SUBJECT OF SLAVERY…OR CHOOSING ONLY TO SERVE THOSE WHO CAN BENEFIT THEIR OWN CAUSE…OR COLOR-PICKING HUMAN BEINGS LIKE A BAG OF GRAPES. YES INDEED THIS HAS BEEN THE STORY FOR THE PAST NEARLY 8 YEARS….BUT MY FAITH SAYS THIS………………..THE TABLES WILL TURN ON THEM AND JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED..AND SERVED INDEED!
I think I just heard Palin in the background on CNN refer to Trump as “the redhead from the red apple.”
Uh. Big Apple? Big head?
And has Trump admitted to the red hair or even the orange face, Sarah?
In other “news,” somebody told Jeb Bush to appear w/o his eyeglasses, in an interview with Wolf, I guess. The only good part is that in the new CNN “poll,” Jeb is now showing 10% in NH. I’m almost at the point that if I were a Dem in NH, I’d switch parties just to vote for Jeb in the primary, and I cannot stand Jeb and absolutely wouldn’t want him to be in the White House.
I peep back in and Jacqueline, you have me laughing my azz off!!!! :D
So glad, GGail! It’s my fondest wish, darlin’!

Greatest NBA player of all time….????
[Deep inhale]
Ah, the knowledge!
I feel a little smarter now.
Thanks Internet!
GA TODville.
O/T, but has this been discussed here?
This girl died alone in a jail cell overnight (Jan 10-11).
The only explanation I can think of for her death (if not a homicide or suicide) is:
Which begs these questions:
Why the heck would a girl be arrested, jailed for “domestic disturbance?” Wasn’t there some other course of action available to diffuse the situation?
Are Black folk no longer safe in their own homes (e.g., Bettie Jones, killed by Chicago police “by accident” on Dec 26 *inside* her own apartment)?
Why are police in charge of investigation into death of a teenager while in police custody???
Tweet with link to article:
And hundreds (thousands?) of people in Flint Michigan were (are being) poisoning by their water, GOP in a lather about the regrettable/tragic deaths of 4 Americans in Benghazi and HRC e-mails, yet Michigan thinks they can get away with this:
Also, too…
Does this look like the watch PBO displayed during his speech this afternoon?
🙄
Seriously, Bernie is getting on my last nerve:
Didn’t Planned Parenthood endorse HRC?
Yes. as did the Human Rights Campaign. And Bernie again shows what a petty jerk he can be.
thissssssssssssssss
I read his statement 3 times and I don’t see what the big deal is. All this fauxrage seems similar to the “you are likeable enough” comment. Much ado about nothing.
He dismissed the Human Rights Campaign and PP as “establishment groups”. It rubbed me the wrong way.
I have too much respect for TOD to really post what I’m thinking about MMFlint right now….
The mayor of Flint was at the White House yesterday and spoke with the President and others in the admin. Taking him to Flint would be strategically difficult, as stupid MM well knows. The real work goes on behind the scenes. Besides, MM lives up in the beautiful Traverse City resort area now, not Fling. I believe their mayor has it in hand.
MM is about nothing but bluster and show. Empty, like all the whiny left.
Some serious daddy issues in mmflint tweet. If i tweeted i would tell him so. Maybe his time would be better spent badgering gov snyder, or rallying people to gotv for 2016 to bring some responsible democrats elected.
Yeh he’s getting on my nerves with that. Flint doesn’t need a damn presidential photo op. They need a new governor.
… and some freakin clean water
Nothing is plan, nothing is arrange, nothing have been check out, for security reasons, but Michael Moore think the President can just jump up and run to Flint because Moore wants him too.
Dudette you are so right,that Governor need to go. Also if people had got out to vote 2014 Michigan would have had a Democrat for Governor. And this would not have happen. It is just awful.
hopefruit2, MM realizes that this is POTUS’ last year in office and our President has never paid any attention to him….at all…. :-) This is not different. Must be frustrating.
Great Response to that self-serving grifter!
President Obama is departing Detroit.
HE’S BEAMING..LOLLLLLLLLLLL…BOYS AND THEIR CAR TOYS!
I’M SO GLAD PBO WENT TO DETROIT…A LITTLE ENERGY FROM THE ENERGIZER ON A COLD WINTER DAY!
BOOM! And there you have it. I have nothing else to add. Thanks Chips.
Thanks Hopefruit and Chipsticks for calling out these self-serving frauds!
New post.
