Some right here in the US
Night all…thank you for the beautiful package of this historic day in Cuba:) Time for this one to get some sleep.
G’Night DF! Rest well.
What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man :-)
Sigh… that’s what I want. A man that’s looking out for his woman always. And THIS one looks out for his woman while also looking out for the USA and the World!
He is truly:
:)
Like I was saying…
Every time I see a reference to National Geographic my heart just sinks. Its now owned by none other than Rupert Murdock. There are just some things that should never happen.
Arizona Dem primary has been declared for HRC - with 1% counted she leads BS 61 to 37. The other who should not be named was declared for the Republicans (Drumpf) Grrr…….
As this emotional day (with all its ups and downs) draws to a close this message goes out from me to **A L L** of you :-
….and …
again! You all made my day! :) :) :)
Awww,you’re so sweet! Hope the day had waaaay more ups than downs! {{{{{{{{{{ vc }}}}}}}}}}}
{{{{{D-ette}}}}} Only down was the news from Belgium.
I don’t see mine.
#toohardforme #Sorry
நன்றி
a guy has to do everything around here / smh
Does this work?
Ouch! More colourful than the look of the original.
some random gif from teh google? rrright.
pic-pic-pic
actually nothing random about it. I checked out several and couldn’t find one small enough that had a gif or jpg tag. some people just don’t know how to ……. I’m going to bed. Nighty-nite, Petal! See you tomorrow.
say gunnite, vc. don’t let the cake bite.
The cake’s *been* bitten. G’night, again.
Goodnight VC and let me recommend that you do like I do… celebrate all month long :-)
:D :D Being a more laid-back type, Mme. S, I’m not sure if I’d have the stamina, but it’s a thought.
I hope you had a wonderful Birthday, VC!
Yes, thank you, I did Nathk. I so like the thought that *I have my own* day - that alone is enough for me to make sure I enjoy it. Add to that all the good wishes and blessings I received from the TOD village, and ‘who could ask for anything more’.
Late on the West Coast; just 8 minutes after your special day. Let me wish you a happy year to come!
Thanks, western neighbour - nice to see you!
Again, the GOP lives in the old times in their minds doing things in the old ways. Remember John McCain dismissing his campaign to travel to the WH to participate in an emergency meeting on the economy. It was really just a good photo op for him as he did not contribute any solution ideas. It seems dropping everything and only doing one thing at a time is the old way to give an image of concentrating all your efforts in one area. PBO proclaimed he could do more than one thing at a time. Was his terminology walk and chew gum?
I notice there are 4 hour queues to vote in Arizona. The US still needs the UN to oversee its elections. 20 min wait is reason for major complaints in my part of the world. Guess it’s all part of voter supression - only course left for the GOP. If the media was doing its job this would not happen.
And the late night cute of the day
Rang the grandbabe’s mother. Grandbabe couldn’t talk to me because she was talking to peppa pig on the other phone - but I could ring back later.
#priorities grandma.
:) Indeed - peppa is the one
President Obama arrives in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Click Here ► ► http://www.cbsnews.com/liveFeed/widget.shtml
Yaaaay! Thanks JER!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
NYPD Commissioner’s office:
I hope Sanders doesn’t push this past May. HRC needs time to organize and prepare to expand the map to help retake Senate(4) House(31)
:D :D :D :D :D
Live look at GOP HQ :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
:-D :-D :-D
Just an anecdote. A friend of mine who is married to a Tribal Chief (not Navajo, another tribe) said she attended an event where she saw Sanders ignore Native audience members’ questions and walk off the stage in the fashion we’ve come to know. Maybe the word got out.
GM MadameSoph.
Here’s my reply to Al Giordano (see my response to JO’B’s comment):
Native Americans are at the mercy of the federal government if they live on ancestral (aka “reservation” land) and the federal government has pretty much denied its responsibility for providing basic resources (like education) to those who are essentially trapped on reservation land. It’s a stain on this nation, yet completely ignored by Presidential candidates except for HRC.
I didn’t know she was honored with this! Agree with your tweet to Al Giordano (I’ve begun following his election coverage also :-) )
My tribe, the Grand Ronde tribes of Oregon of which I am of the Molalla tribe and live on the reservation has been thrilled with all of the help President Obama did during his tenure in many areas that was previously ignored.
Wow!
GM JO’B.
Middle of the night here, woke up because of the wind, had to see what I’ve missed here (a lot, apparently, in just a few short hours… sigh).
GM Dudette.
RWNJs and Trump supporters would like our nation to be more like it was during the colonization of Latin America and during the Cold War.
Someone (our MSM? [hah, rhetorical question]) needs to inform today’s Americans of our nation’s shameful history when it comes to places like Argentina and Iran.
Have always despised Kissinger. From the article:
“This is a delicate matter, of course, given the US’ involvement in the Argentine dictatorship. It is now common knowledge that then US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger encouraged and provided strategic support to the violence that saw some 30,000 “disappeared” — seized and taken to internment centers to be tortured and killed — as part of the proxy wars fought in the Cold War’s context.”
RWNJs would never admit such “weakness” yet are the first to demand that other nations apologize for past actions.
(Tweets sent before AF1 landed in Argentina)
To echo, Meta:
Missed them getting down the stairs and into the car. Too fast for me! :-(
Sorry, best I could do.
Wow. Even MSNBC covered the President and his family as they arrived in Argentina.
Wonder if Raúl Castro was there to greet him. Oops - wrong country. Settle down, RWNJs.
LOL!
Actually they didn’t shake any hands, just hopped in the car.
OMG. You saw her dress, of course. Stunning!
That’s what I keep saying - the dress that dress LAWD the dress is everything
Totes gorge!
I was wrong. Couldn’t see people waiting at bottom of stairs from the angle on the CBS feed.
Here’s the welcome committee. :-)
HRC HQ from last week…probably waiting for her speech to be over before posting new ones:
Interesting :???:
The orange devil abandons Bernie.
The orange place has imploded and going apoplectic. He will lose half his bloggers.
Ah! Good! :-)
Didn’t you mean Ah bueno ??? :)
And, with that, goodnight to you, happy birthday to VC, goodnight to TODville, the Obamas in Argentina, and all the ships at sea!
Si! Bueno… whatevah! :-)
Gracias! :-)
The President and family are in Argentina
Imma need more of The Dress
Here ya go!
Thank you. I scrolled down so I could get a close up look at The DRess. FLOTUS is wearing that dress.
I really hope Trump wins the nomination….we’re talking possible 40+ state electoral beatdown, possibly controlling both houses, and probably 3 SCOTUS nominations (Scalia [if still open] Ginsberg & Breyer/Kennedy…all will be in mid-80’s]
:D :D :D
LOL!

First Official Engagement: 10:30 AM
Obama is set to be received in the Hall of Busts in La Casa Rosada by Mauricio Macri. The two leaders will then go alone to the Presidential office located on the first floor and will hold a bilateral meeting, a lovely little catch up.
Michelle Obama, the US First Lady, will also be meeting up with students at the Metropolitan Design Center in Barracas at 9:30 AM, as part of her Let Girls Learn scheme which she is promoting throughout the visit. It’s an initiative for young girls and adolescents, over 62 million of whom still face complex obstacles stopping them from getting a proper education.
What a beautiful family! FLOTUS’ dress is killer!
Dudette, have to share with you:
On the way home from working tonight I drove by the Athenaeum and an event must have just ended because every car driving around, in front of and next to me was scientist’s car. Everything from a Prius with JPL and NASA stickers to a Volt with some math geek bumper sticker, to a Tesla with a LIC plate that said NASA…(don’t want to out their plate to the whole internet :-)
The one driving next to me was kind of cute… :-)
Oh really? What part of the country are you in, MS? I must come and meet my soul mate! :-D
I drive by it often :-)
https://www.athenaeumcaltech.com/
“The first formal dinner was held on February 4, 1931, with Albert Einstein as one of the important guests. Three Nobel Prize winners, Albert Einstein, Robert A. Millikan, and A. A. Michelson, attended that dinner. Portraits of Hale, Noyes, Millikan, the Balches, and Caltech’s past presidents hang in various rooms throughout The Athenaeum.”
Ha Ha! Just found this out:
The Harrow club (Beverly Hills Cop) was actually the Faculty Club building (known as The Athenaeum) on the campus of CalTech (the California Institute of Technology)
Ahhhh! I remember it well … from the movie, that is! :-)
Madamesoph i live down the street from Cal Tech.
Second Official Engagement: 2:00 PM
I’m guessing lunch will have happened, and then he’s going to head down to the Metropolitan Cathedral amid an enormous, slick security operation to pay a floral tribute to General José de San Martín, the leader of Argentina’s independence movement.
Third Official Engagement: 4:00 PM
Damn, being the President really is a busy job. Obama will pay a quick visit to La Boca to force a smile, do some presidential handshaking and speak with young entrepreneurs at the Usina del Arte.
Fourth Official Engagement: 8:00 PM
400 guests will join the Obamas in the Bicentennial (formerly Kirchner) Cultural Center. Maybe they’ll be treated to chorriPRO to be slurped down with some malbec.
Argentina schedule for Thursday
Thursday, March 24 – Final Event
Although the White House have said in no uncertain terms that the visit is “not about the past,” rather poignantly both Obama and Macri will be paying their respects to the victims of the last military dictatorship in Remembrance Park sometime in the morning. This particular 24th of March is an important date as it marks the 40th anniversary of the 1976 military coup that starting a seven-year long dictatorship.
Later in the day (Thursday), the Obama family will be flying out to have some downtime out in the Patagonian town of Bariloche before returning promptly to Buenos Aires to fly back to Washington at 23:30 PM.
Not confirmed, but someone mentioned they might be spending some time at a resort caled Llao LLao

It’s all over, folks. bs crushes hillz in UT by 75-25. Time for hillz to quit and coronate bs.
U iz fun-e!
Dudette - you are on the biggest of big rolls! Just got home from shopping to be greeted by your delightful pictures. I can no longer imagine the US without PBO leading the way. In the next few years the rules just have to change!
Glad you’re enjoying the posts, 99ts dear! I just get so excited when POTUS (especially with the family) goes on these trips!
We’ll be okay with Hillary in the chair. It won’t be the same for sure. We’ll just have to keep tabs on PBO. We all know he’ll continue doing great things.
Don’t think I’ll be looking for pictures of Hillary & Bill travelling around - unless of course she takes the grandbabes :) on the trips.
^5 :-)
And on that note, I’m gong to sleep! ‘night TOD! Thanks for the lovely Argentina pics, Dudette!
You are very welcome MS! Nightie-night!
Menu for Wednesday night’s State Dinner
Found info on the menu from this page - translated from Spanish by Chrome
http://www.pagina12.com.ar/diario/elpais/1-295213-2016-03-23.html
“At 20, will honor dinner for US President Kirchner at the Cultural Center, attended by about 400 guests, among which there will be national government officials, governors and legislators. And the menu that agasajarán met: an entry with tower and vegetables smoked trout, the main course will be lamb baked with potatoes dominated and as close, a volcano dulce de leche for dessert. The wines will Angelica Zapata, Mendoza Catena Zapata winery.”
Definitely surprised there’s no steak on the menu.
Welp, it’s Argentina, so you know what that means — Tango, of course!
I leave you good people with this! Until next time… ¡Besos y abrazos! :kiss:
Bonus for 99ts and LDS :-D
Thank you!
Love It!
Forgot mention something important:
Buenos Aires time zone is GMT -3, which is 1 hour ahead of US Eastern Time. So when the schedule says 10:30 am start time (in Argentinian media) that’s 9:30 am US ET.
Good Morning TODVille.
Happy Wednesday.
Good morning to you, too, NCLB! Have a Blessed and jazzy day!
Mooooooooooooooorning!
