😄😘
😆😘 YouTube is my friend!
Definitely your well-loved BFF! :) :)
Hey guuuuuurl Congrats on First! :-) mwah!
Dahhhhling! Thankyew verreh muuuch! 😄
You are so talented - you crack me up <3
😆😘
Hey NCLB! That’s neat! Thank you! 😄
Yay for Dudette! OFA is having a rapid response call at 6 pacific time today. Be on it if you can.
“I hope folks will be able to join us tonight at 9pm ET/ 6pm PT for an update on the Supreme Court Vacancy campaign along with a training on how to address some of the questions raised here. This webinar will have an audio portion and a visual portion. Register for the call HERE. And join us on NewRow to view the slides HERE.
Oh cool! Thanks for the heads up Judith. I’d love to be on the call. Could you post the link for registration?
Judith, just checked my email and there was NO info about the webinar. Is there a signup link you can share?
So sorry! I thought those HERE words would be hot links for you since I copied them straight from the OFA invitation.
I LOVE HER…YOU GO GIRL!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS…JUST GOT HOME//SENT SCOTUS NOMINATION TO FB…IT WAS AN AWESOME ANNOUNCEMENT!
GA, Chips! Congrats on First, Dudette!
…Finally got this formatted properly (I hate Windows 10)
Thanks LP!
What can I tell ya? It’s a gift! 😎
Oops that was a reply to Chips! 😜
SUCH A PRICELESS NOMINATION AND THE LOOK ON GARLAND’S FACE WHEN PBO WAS TALKING ABOUT HIM..BEAUTIFUL INDEED!
Thank you Chips for the reminder.
bbl……going to our weekly Bible study. Minister leading it is a big liberal-and rather proud of it. :) :) hehehe
I WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH FOR MY PRESIDENT…IF THINGS GET BLOODY..I’VE GOT THE SOX FOR THAT TOO!
PBO IS SO FUNNY WHEN HE SAYS HE’ S OUTNUMBERED….LOL..HE LOVES EVERY MINUTE OF IT!..HAH—HAH…SWEET TORTURE!
It is his job to give the country a capable jurist who sees the law and the Constitution in the context of justice. And that is what President Obama has done.
****************
I was impressed by just this…
as a person of color…equal Justice under the laws does not always reach my community…this more than anything in addition to his reverence for all of the constitution gives me hope…
As Spandan has stated,,,,the President is brilliant….i will miss him when he leaves office..
Who did the liberal blog want POTUS to nominate?
i do not know…but they wanted an ideologue…i wonder how they could watch PBO all this time ..and think that he would do that…
Inorite.
The “holier than thou” liberals don’t care about nominating a brilliant justice who is likely to be confirmed. They are only interested in drama. I remember them attacking both Justice Sotomayor and Justice Keagan for not being liberal enough.
WOW….
forgive me folks…but this is …just…WOW
Yeh wow!
yikes :O
I’m sticking my neck out to say that I don’t get this. Not that I need to as it’s clearly not ‘positive’.
not sure myself…i just found it a bit bizarre…there was a movie called Children of the Damned….horror movie..from the 60s 70s…i supposed he was comparing Bernie and his folks to them…but if there was a movie he wanted to mimic…i would say it is the Stepherd Wives
It figures, TY, Pf58. I’m not a movie fan, plus I *never* watch horror because of the nightmare factor. I feel better now not having recognized the allusion.

The phone cll is with OFA - discussing how you can help with the Supreme Court issue. Please join us 6PM PT - 9 PM ET.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks, Linda! Getting back here late and after the call to discover you picked up the slack for me. Hope interested people were able to get on.
So Malia and Sasha are going to Cuba with POTUS and FLOTUS. That is nice.
Excellent! More RW head-banging to enjoy!
When things don’t go your way, throw out the rule book, pledges mean nothing.
Dudette, I believe that a lot of Rand Paul supporters flocked to Bernie Sanders. These are Rand/Ron Paul type shenanigans. Remember when they tried to change the caucus results in Iowa, and I believe Colorado when Ron Paul ran for President.
Yes, I do recall.
I see the Ron/Rand Paul supporter connection firsthand with my Brother going there. He is supporting Bernie right now. I also see him switching to Donald Trump and not voting for Clinton in the GE. He believes everything Drudge and right wing publications write that he reads on Internet. There are so many Clinton conspiracy theories out there too.
I saw the heading on the Enquirer while I was at the grocery store inline today. It was saying that Trump is going to bring out that Hillary had a gay affair, and all the other smear lies I have heard before.
This election is riddled with candidates who try to ignore established rules; and whine when they can’t get away with it. Likewise, these same people [would] try to ignore laws that are in place. They already think the authority of the office they are seeking is beyond what is set forth in the Constitution. They missed the lessons about the branches of government and how checks and balances works.
Exactly, sw! True character is revealed sooner or later. Bernie’s time has come.
WOW! Just absolutely Wow! What an educational moment for the girls. FLOTUS will surely have an impact on the girls she’s meeting with. This is just phenomenal!
Oh boo hoo! They built that monster too!
They most certainly did!
The GOP will have problems *whatever* they do…
…speculation being as Senators begin to meet with Garland, others will be willing to meet with him as well. Let’s hope so.
Yep especially the ones up for reelection
Dee, that was my first thought the moment I say some of them creeping out of the woodwork.
The GOP thinks that once they are elected, the “voice of Americans” is whatever *THEY* say it is.
Bam! Please tweet that!
I don’t have a twitter account. Feel free.
true
the world is only legit when they determine its parameters!
Cindy McCain should have taken that senile old man back to Arizona and put him in a rocking chair.
Another one of those blonde hair Republican idiots from Fox.
GOP SOP: If facts don’t support the point you want to make, create your own facts. Be adamant when you state them and state them often. The “right” people will believe you.
Bingo!
Barack-etology!
Wooooooot! �?�
this is so kool…still wants to get the President’s pic even when he leaves office
Andy played in the now famous pick up game on election day in 2008 and since Senator Obama won….he was invited to play on election day 2011 as a good luck charm against Romney for his reelection bid :cool:
Wow….
they talked about how the President golfs now instead of playing basketball…i was surprised that they did not remember that PBO says that his game is broke…thePresident is very competitive,,,he is not going to play if he cannot be the best of himself
If you watch the mens bracket special he said he cut back on playing b/c he doesn’t want to “tear an achilles tendon his last year in office” …plus the last time he played a serious game he got 10 stitches from a junior staffer!
yes..i heard that…but i remember him saying that as well…well i guess he has a lot of reasons not to play BB…i know that the SS is probably glad that he doesn’t as well :D
McConnell, live in the present, not the future you hope to have. Each President’s term of office is four years not three years. The Constitution spells out the duties of the President and the Congress. The Senators are responsible to fulfill their duties during their time serving. We do not arbitrarily say you cannot do your job in an election year. Do your job. Your argument for not following the Constitution is LAME. It involves destroying the Constitutional system. Shame on you!
The Constitution says that the President is elected for four years. The Constitution then gives the President the power and responsibility to appoint Judges of the Supreme Court, “with advice and consent” of the United Staes Senate. There is no provision in the U.S. Constitution that says that the American people have a say so when it comes to nominating and confirming a U.S. Supreme Court justice. There is no provision in the U.S. Constitution, which says that a duly elected sitting president can no longer exercise his constitutional powers because it’s an election year. There is no provision in the Constitution that exempts members of the Senate from fulfilling their Constitutional responsibilities because it’s an election year. Mitch McConnell is violating the Constitution and does not deserve to be a Senate Leader! All the Senators who have joined McConnell in abdicating their Constitutional responsibilities do not deserve to be Senators.

http://bigstory.ap.org/article/8434318f5be74576b91f8ff7e1cb2eae/obama-sanctions-nkorea-nuclear-missile-tests
President Barack Obama hit North Korea with new sanctions Wednesday in response to the country’s “illicit” nuclear and ballistic missile tests earlier this year.
An executive ordered signed by the president implements two sets of sanctions: those that unanimously cleared the U.N. Security Council and a separate round of U.S. sanctions enacted by Obama after Congress overwhelmingly approved and sent him legislation.
“These actions are consistent with our longstanding commitment to apply sustained pressure on the North Korean regime,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said. “The U.S. and the global community will not tolerate North Korea’s illicit nuclear and ballistic missile activities, and we will continue to impose costs on North Korea until it comes into compliance with its international obligations.”
What the…? Is this legit?
Poor thing! Is Dennis Rodman still in good with homeboy over there or nah?
Why do students/citizens *choose* to vacation in countries that are as repressive as N. Korea when they have other choices? And why, when they get themselves in trouble, do they expect their government to step in? This has always troubled me because generally someone else has to put their life on the line to rescue them.
Privilege unchecked can apparently lead to stupidity.
Like what some call affluenza?
There it is!
It sure can. It does irritate a bit though that they then *expect* that others will come to their aid, sometimes at the expense of their own lives. I can accept this more easily if a traveler is visiting somewhere and a ‘war’ or something such breaks out, but when they deliberately go visiting contentious areas …………
What they prefer to do instead of their Constitutional duty.

Rocking out to “This is for my girls.” Beyoncé is not listed as a contributing artist, but someone in the group sounds much like her.
POTUS and FLOTUS keep it rocking for the US and the world, ignoring their haters and keeping it moving; love them so much.
The first of many awards that PBO should receive after leaving office: Profiles in Courage and another Nobel Peace Prize.
That might be Kelly Rowland (Destiny’s Child bandmate) that you hear.
Thanks, TOD DJay!

Either everything I’ve read from every other source about the delegate math is wrong, or these people are delusional. This was an email that to a Sanders supporter, which she posted on Facebook.
“Listen up Bernie Supporters, get a grip!
Ugh, I can’t believe I’m saying this to the most optimistic and enthusiastic group of supporters that any campaign has ever seen but…
YOU’VE GOT TO CALM DOWN AND COME BACK TO REALITY. I LOVE YOU, but please, sit down for a moment and stop with the pessimism, it’s contagious and it’s hurtful to our campaign.
Remember what we’ve been saying for WEEKS? This is Hillary’s LAST GOOD DAY.
But then we won Michigan, and honestly, I think we let it get to our heads. . We got overconfident and we invested a lot of emotion into tonight.
Originally, Bernie was not supposed to do well this day anyways.
It is AFTER THIS DAY, that Berniie is going to excel.
We’ve known this,we have the data to prove it. All we had for tonight was the positive high of pulling off Michigan’s upset.
So for the love of Bernie, PULL IT TOGETHER. This was expected for weeks. Don’t let Michgan’s win distort your reality.
We’re still climbing and she’s still failing. That reality hasn’t changed. Stay the course.
Now snap out of it. We’re fine.
[sigh!] Senator Sanders (who is NOT a Democrat) will not win the Democratic nomination. His supporters would do well to accept that and pivot toward working to make sure the Democratic party platform and its nominee is one they can support. That is if they haven’t deluded themselves into thinking Trump would really be a better President than Secretary Clinton.
Well, what do you know…..
