Good Dat
That says it all.
Good DAY all….typing to fast to make “First”
Trying to catch up so see you all soon (I hope)!
Iād say :star:
Hey Matlz! Congrats!
We have lift off! š
Toon by Atlantaās Mike Luckovich! Heās awesome! ššš¤šš¾
Before todayās launch
GA/GE TODville.
I wonder when McTurtle wakes up and realizes that heās the anti-Karl (permanent GOP majority) Rove, LOL? (You know the GOP Senators that PBO won in 2008 and/or 2012 wonāt enjoy their Spring Break ;) ). Of course the most satisfying will be when Little Marco is out of his Big (Senator) Job.
Another way to say the same thing.
This will be the drumbeat until PBO, FLOTUS, VP and DrBiden join the campaign, then MSM will fabricate speculation to encourage GOP to cast their votes.
And I think this is right — CA hasnāt been in play for almost 50 years (and we have so many vocal loons on the right and the left)…
GE forus50.
Posted a similar tweet upthread, and Josh Earnest said this while Scalia was alive, before McTurtle lost his mind:
My Brotherās Keeper with Common…..more goodness everyday
PF, thank you for posting this! ā¤ļø
Pastor JT Fisher is a dynamic young minister who has a mission to do good in his surrounding communities and Iām happy to see this collaboration with Common.
Wonderful!
My Brotherās Keeper/My Brotherās Alliance…the gift that keeps on giving
Check out Pastor Michael JT Fisher, Greater Zion Church, Compton, CA on YouTube. His church is always packed and trying to do good in the community.
I ordered one of those shirts for my son who lives in Oakland.
thanks a lot for sharing this …, now if I could stop crying
smilin!!
This made me cry, especially the lady in the red top and young man who said Iām more than a stereotype. LAWD!
yes…..great…they are selling tea shirts…proceeds going to the program
Good. There should be steep consequences for Republican Senators continuing to not do their dang jobs!! Sick of this.
Ok folks….do you think that Sanders will win any more states…
Well heās presently in a state of denial, and Iām almost certain heās going to win it.
Yes, Pf, heāll win a number caucus states coming up and will probably win Washington state. None of that will make a difference. The big states favorable to Hillary come in April-NY, NJ, PA and then California.
i do not think that Sanders will endorse Clinton…i think that he will go to the convention and be a disruptive force…i hope that all will be ready for this
hillz needs to win a few caucus states to completely shut down bs and his bsāers.
yes..i agree…i want him gone…
Unfortunately, I think he will win my state, Oregon, in our May 17th primary.
sorry to heat that
From day one of his presidency, the US media have been actively enabling the GOP! Theyāve been quick to hype and sensationalize topics/issues that they perceive as being negative towards President Obama! The US media have also been complicit in enabling GOP Obstructionism by pretending., or falsely claiming that both sides are the same.
Oldie but Goodie
I suspect that pretty well sums up President Obamaās approach to his opponents in general. His goal is to set up a situation where its in their interests to cooperate with him. This is what drives some folks on the left positively batty…he doesnāt want to defeat his opponents, he wants to co-opt them.
I remember early in the Obama administration he and I think his family took a trip to Jerusalem and he paid a visit to the wailing wall and he left a note. The note he wrote talked about keeping his ego in check, which of all the things he could have wrote, he talked about keeping his ego in check. Iām sure some days President Obama thinks about annihilating his opponents. But yes, he does not want to destroy them, he simply wants to use them to his advantage.
I remember that day. I think the tradition is that youāre not supposed to look at anyoneās message in the wall but something dug his out and this is what it said:
“Lord ā Protect my family and me. Forgive me my sins, and help me guard against pride and despair. Give me the wisdom to do what is right and just. And make me an instrument of your will.”
Yesssss, thatās it!
I saved it because it was so moving.
He also once said he uses prayer to guard against pride and to guard against complacency. What an incredible heart and mind.
did you see a cartoon that came on Nickelodeon called The Avatar…..the Avatar was a monk…the climax in the story came when he had to defeat the Firelord…but he was abhorred to kill him…so what he did was neutralize him by taking away his power…. it was a great risk…but he was Triumphant.
.
yes….Jedi master
My god!
Yes! Yes! Si
GGail, if our boys lose on Sunday, thatās it: it will signal the end of the entire FLIPPINā world.
They know that Chips. Iāve been reading statements on their website and I want to remain POSITIVE that they will prevail.
Youāve got to Believe! ā½ļø!!!
:lol: I want YOUR faith!!
Itās time for you to go light a candle in that building - you know the one Iām talking about. Do It!
Please allow me to partially (with a big smile on my face) credit the Presidentās “advance man,” Pope Francis! Theyāre the most-fun-to-watch tag team of the 21st century, IMHO.
how koool is our President…i love this photo
The kooooooooooooooooolest! :-)
yayyyyyyyyyyyyboy….haha
Up from 8 to 11 GOP Senators who will at least “meet” with Garland.
Trust me, after President Obama get through with their asses they are going to be begging to meet with Garland.
I donāt doubt it.
Poor Garland! Ugh.
Has Rubio suddenly remembered he is a Senator - with a job - or is he just anti the GOP cause they didnāt help him against Trump?
In some of the last speeches before he suspended his campaign, he seemed a little humbled and disappointed in himself that he resorted to stooped to Trumpās level to be competitive. There also seemed to be some disappointment in the GOP — maybe because of Trumpās ability to destroy what is left of the GOP brand as traditional Republicans may remember. And that an extremist such as Cruz is as successful as he has been thus far in the primary.
Perhaps he will continue to do the right thing…show up for work and do what is right … for the remainder of his term.
This young lady is my niece. I am so very proud of her. She is the daughter of my sister just ahead of me. She is also currently working on her Ph.D.
outstanding! congrats to your family!
Thank you so much.
Wonderful! Congrats to you and your family.
Thank you, Meta. My sister raised her three daughters, Renae and her twin sisters by herself. All three of the girls turn out really well. My sister went back to school and she is expected to get her degree in psychology in October and is working full time. She is the epitome of strength and grace. All the credit goes to her. I am so proud of her.
Wow, that is so remarkable. What a strong family you have. Kudos!
What a great story! Congrats to her.
Thanks JOB!!
Oh Africa, Congratulations to you and to Renae ~ how proud you must both be :)
Sherijr, thanks!! :)
FANTASTIC…:)
Thank you!!
Congrats to your niece! You all must be so proud Kate šš¹š¹š¹š¹š¹
Thanks Gail!!

Thanks amk!
Africa, what an incredible niece you have. You and your sister must be so proud of her.
Thanks Jackie!!
Awesome!
Thank you Judith!!
Congratulations, Africa to your niece and to your whole family.
#DoYourJobFriday
This is a very impressive and powerful message to Republican senators. Americans work hard every day. We expect those elected to the US Senate to do their jobs whether they like it or not.
Exactly, JackieG!
All of a sudden, the media is “so brave.” Yuck.
JOāB, theyāve been terrified that they themselves will be on the Trump “hit list.” DTās a thug who threatens and browbeats and most of our media are cowards.
And Trumpās the biggest coward. He says whatever he wants to say, because heās surrounded by private security, local law enforcement, and USSS details. (I was just coming here to write something about his supportersā being the thugs, and the protesters are the real activists who want to “KEEP America great.” Great minds, eh?)
You knew weād laugh our collective a$$e$ off, didnāt you, Chips?
Well Jacqueline, I *had* hoped for some compassion, sympathy and support ……..
Oh, yes, that, too, honey bunch. Well, truthfully, that part hasnāt kicked in yet - ācause Iām still laughing - but it will. It will.
He sure has you workinā for it, doesnāt he? Ha. Hang in there.
donāt pamper her !!!
Ha!
He has me wrapped around his, eh, paw nail :-)
Which is a good thing! And I know you enjoy it, no matter how far you have to run to catch up with him! :)
How on earth do you catch up with him, Chips. Does he ever stop and turn around or do you just have to keep walking forever. That road looks awful lonely.
:-) What isnāt entirely visible in the video is his (um, Platonic) girlfriend at the other end of the track - hence his speediness!! Fortunately, he always comes back …. eventually!
:D :D :D :D :D :D
Well done, Chips!! Youāre a Pro …… filmmaker ;)
:lol: My film-making is definitely superior to my dog training skills!!! Which isnāt saying much!
you should rename him as dash.
Or ‘Disobedient Feckerā?
you canāt stand the boy having some fun, can ya? sheesh, woman.
Sheesh is right - it was a woman he was chasing in that Spielberg-esque video.
just buy that danged farm, will ya? all that money spent unwisely on brittle toyz. smh.
Hmm, funny you should mention farm-buying ability…….
:cool:
oops, that was my mail to someone else.
I had a notion, alright……
Iām crying šššššš
So was I1!1!1! But not in an amused way!1!1!
Iāve played it three times!
Are you sure you gave him the correct command?
ššššš
The final command, which I omitted from the tweet, was: “COME BACK YOU LITTLE ******”. That didnāt work either.
Youāre killing me!!!!!
So Danny basically just ran away from home. OMG.
Hush, you!
Watching Rachel recap the 2012 Republican convention chaos with the Ron Paul voters, cements my belief that the same supporters are now BS supporters.
It was actually just one post office he named twice but why quibble.
Ha. I fell on the floor laughing with that one!
Itās true!
Of course itās true - it just struck me so funny. What a resume, eh?
Honestly, heās quite the fraud.
What a crazy election year. Hope we never see one like this again. OTOH, Iāll be replaying the Obama years in my head for the rest of my life.
If Bernie Sanders was in his 30s or 40s, I would at give him a pass on his scanty record of accomplishments. For Christās sake, Bernie Sanders is 74 years-old! Please donāt get me wrong: I am not biased against his age! He is, after all, in my age group. But why did Bernie wait so long to start his Revolution? Surely, the economic conditions in the country are not that much worse-off than when President Obama took office in 2009!
I swear I was thinking that a little while ago. With that gusto, think of what he could have accomplished in earlier decades! He started out strong, and then … Anyway, I hope he stays cool no matter how this all turns out. We donāt need a return to the “PUMA” hatefulness around ā08.
#VOTE as if your life and the lives of millions of others depend on it, for real.
Good night TOD ….
GOODNITE TOD FAMILY….BLESSINGS..<3
Good night Sue & blessings to you as well <3
A woman who invited US President Barack Obama to her home in Cuba has received a response from the president, as direct mail links between the two countries were restored.
Ileana Yarza, 76, wrote to Mr Obama in February, inviting him to have “a cup of Cuban coffee” at her home in Havana.
The presidentās letter, thanking Ms Yarza, was dispatched to Cuba on Wednesday.
It was among the first batch of letters to reach Cuba from the US in 50 years.
Direct postal service between the two countries was suspended at the height of the Cold War, meaning mail was re-routed through other countries - usually Mexico or Canada.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-35841753
Thatās all it takes! A President with a keen mind for world affairs and an open heart, a friendly woman of 76 who wrote a letter, and a cup of Cuban coffee … to give peace a chance! Itās pretty amazing, actually, how things can change in a heartbeat. (Iām not minimizing all the previous years and dealings, but “everything” could be a lot more simple in life if President Obama were “in charge of everything.”)
Signed,
Big Time O-bot
obots/smh
You.Are.One. We see you!
I.AM.MOST.DEFINITELY.NOT
Okay. Whatever ya say.
Donāt worry J”OB! With a name like “AMK FOR OBAMA,” his denial that he is not an Obot rings hollow!
So true, nath. So true! Weāre all Obots! And proud of it.
Happy Saturday!
The CEO of Newsmax on Don Lemonās show just called Trump “one of the greatest communicators God ever created.” You canāt make up this stuff.
jacquelineoboomer, I donāt know whether to laugh or cry. Because it is clear that CEO is a dam stupid idiot.
Just laugh at him. Trump will be the one crying in November. Then weāll laugh again. Assuming all Democrats and sane people help to GOTV against him, of course!
God created Satan too, letās not forget !!
Yep! Hard to forget when weāre talking Trump!
how awkward would it be for the President to campaign for a Bernie Sanders…a man who cannot help himself but had to find a way to criticize the President…his latest is to criticize the SCOTUS nominee
the critically important 2012 thesis from Norm Ornstein and Thomas Mann, who famously wrote that the contemporary GOP āhas become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political oppositionā¦. When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the countryās challenges.ā
