Trump facing protest looks even more craven and cowardly when compared to Obama. Thanks, @BuzzFeedNews, for this. amp.twimg.com/v/3bd204d4-b67…

Hi!
VC!
Oui, c’est moi. :) :)
How’s life in your corner (if we forget the *mess* with the DST thingie)?
All’s good VC, apart from wishing I was at job-retirement age! :-)
Seeeee, you might want to reconsider your 23, 24 or whatever age! ;)
As of today, I am 64 and three quarters. Wait, I need to check my company’s retirement age…. back in a minute.
:D :D :D You’re such a dote!!!1
:-)
{{{CC}}} Oh, and hoping he can’t count yet…. {DannyO). :D
Don’t - with retirement comes a set of issues you are really really better not having
Congratulations on your Monday mid-day medal.
LIVE on #Periscope: Michelle Obama talking about her personal passion and the #letsmove campaign. @cafemom

Morning, JER. For a moment or two there I was wondering if I said the wrong thing. :D
Happy Tuesday!
Good Morning/Evening VC. Please excuse me. Congratulations!
:)
Wow, her speech was FIERCE!!
meta, how can I hear FLOTUS ? speech
There’s a bit of at the link in my tweet above.
meta, The sound is not very good. I can’t hear FLOTUS.
*always forgets to refresh <- …..from end of last thread.
Trump just won the same amount of delegates Rubio/Cruz won in Idaho this morning and crossed a convention threshold of having to win a majority of delegates in 5 states to be on the ballot at the GOP convention
OK, see you folks tonight after classes are over….have a wonderful day TOD!
You got dressed?! Have a great day, LP!
Don’t put down too many pints, Chips! Carpe diem :cool:
Isn’t this contradictory advice? Just wondering
Hush…. I was in a hurry (meant to leave the latter on the cutting room floor) before I left the house!
My lunch break is over….bye again
Bye - you just reminded me that I haven’t had lunch yet - I was playing online scrabble. See you later.
Have a great day, LPlains. /muttering - sure hope you haven’t forgotten everything academic during your break - :D /!
Yeah, beware the Ides, Rubio. He might be down at the Everglades sipping up its water, after tonight.
Ha, I hope so, Jacqueline!
I saw the stereotype, which was sad.
His wife dined with Arpaio? OMG.
She was really there to look at the tent cities, but managed to do a series of photo ops with Arpaio. And she’s a paid consultant to the campaign! Can you imagine if Michelle Obama had been taking a salary from the campaign? There’s an excellent reason why GOP isn’t laying a finger on BS yet, and it ain’t because they love his policies!
Crazy times!
Trust me. They will use those pics against him if he’s the nominee, god forbid.
I didn’t see last night’s town hall. Any other impressions?
Parts of it were very good on policy; parts my mind drifted away!
MSNBC is replaying the President’s remarks of a few minutes ago, on the tone of the 2016 campaign - and the Golden Rule.
This picture suggests that Danny-the-Boy is an assassin, a murderer. And I know that he is not! He loves his toys and takes great care of them. When he can.
POTUS is getting tired on your BS, America.
Excellent read by p.m. carpenter:
Unlike 8 years ago, today I pulled the lever for Hillary. It was very busy at the polling booth in this very Democratic section of Chicago - hopefully she will win Illinois but will have to wait and see as the polls have been disastrously inaccurate this primary season.
Are you in the city, forus50? We voted on Saturday, and it was busy.
Hi 57!!
Yes, I’m in the Gold Coast/Old Town area. A few months ago I thought she was a lock but now I’m rather nervous about Clinton winning Illinois - what do you think?
I’m very nervous. I work in an office-ful of GOP and they are all voting for Bernie because he will be easier to beat. Strong Bernie vibes. I’m still hopeful, but apprehensive. I’m on the Northwest side, Addison and Pulaski.
California TODers, FYI:
Hello TOD. Rainy.Cloudy, Tuesday.
Congrats, VC for your FURST Au :star:
Congrats to all the Gold :star: winners, since yesterday.

Ben Carson: I Didn’t Want To Endorse Trump, But He Promised Me A Position
Little Ben must not have heard that DT lies every 5 minutes….
IOKIYDT
Federal law expressly prohibits candidates from directly or indirectly promising “the appointment of any person to any public or private position or employment, for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy.” The penalty for violations could include fines or a year in jail — two years if the violation was willful.
Short of beating some of them to a pulp, myself, I hope they “get theirs” - politically and legally!
Wow, POTUS let his views be known in no uncertain terms:

Good Early Afternoon TODVille.
he is trying…he can only hijack it if we let him!
Hillary beats Bernie with Democrats by 20 points! He is a despicable human being, he really is.
maybe not despicable…but he is an opportunist…and the DNC…allowed it to happen…they need to get on the stick with these open primaries….if they are going to allow just anyone to declare that they are a DEM then they need a system in which only DEMs can vote for them…time for the caucuses and open primaries to go!!!!
But how are they going to go inside his filthy mouth?
About 30 minutes ago, they posted NAZI Trumps social security number, DOB, cell phones, addresses, websites, PR agency, attorneys, parents’ names, current wife and the names of his 3 sets of children.
That’s nothing. It’s just their second amendment being played out.
Thus doing emotional damage to her four-year-old, in one way or the other, forevermore! Thanks, NRA.
Exactly!!
You only have to look to President Obama for daily examples of moral leadership.

State of Illinois People!!!!
IT’S ELECTION DAY!!
Remember, the law has been changed…
You can register to vote and vote on Election Day!
Just go to your local precinct and bring 2 pieces of ID- one of which has proof of address.
Here are Illinois forms of acceptable ID:
• Illinois driver’s license
• Illinois state ID
• Employee or student ID
• Credit card
• Social security card
• Birth certificate
• Utility bill in applicant’s name
• Mail postmarked to the applicant
• Valid U.S. passport
• Public aid ID card
• Lease or rental contract
I hope those Stepford Republican women think twice about voting for Trump. Ugh.

I really like the Minority Leader.
yup..me too..she has been with the President from the beginnning
I ask this yesterday, why is Jane Sanders meeting with that racists sheriff. Something sneaky about Bernie Sanders.
And Jerry knows about crazy!
Really people?!?!?!? Do we ever learn?????
WTH is this idiocy? I really don’t get it. Voting isn’t about games!!
One thing I can say about the Democrats having the super delegates and proportional allocation of delegates (rather than any winner take all states) is that it helps to mitigate some of the damage that may result from these games…at least I hope so.
Maybe, these are BS supporters trying to make sure that HRC doesn’t win. Either way, it is crazy. Stunts like this will give us a president Trump.
Yuck, lets hope not. I’m sick to death of Bernie and his bros, the quicker he is flushed out with the rest of the primary election garbage, the better!
Damn - In Cuyahoga County, OH, 15.6% of early voting Dems, asked for GOP ballot. That’s Cleveland, and Hillary needs a strong showing in the urban areas.
Damn……..
There are a lot of registered male Dems who refuse to vote for Hillary. Even the moderate GOP men who voted for PBO will not vote for Hillary and will probably vote fir Kasich in Ohio or Cruz or Rubio in IL or FL.
