FURSTš
Indeed!
Congratulations on such a YU-U-U-U-U-GE accomplishment!
š
Finally legit! Congrats! š
whddayamean finally?
To be honest, amk, it was a pity win.
oops, posted in the wrong thread.
LOL!
I suspect that the majority of the people that show up to see Bernie Sanders didnāt vote for President Obama in 2012 and didnāt vote in the midterms. It just doesnāt make sense to me that someone that voted for President Obama twice would vote for Bernie, itās not logical. You canāt be an Obama supporter and turn around and vote for Bernie Sanders. Like a famous lawyer once said, āif it donāt fit, you must not vote for it.ā
millennials are beyond racism, sexism, hatred is all bs.
I really donāt understand his appeal. Heās a whiny scold, his ideas are thin and limited, theres no substance to his agenda, no there there, and heās mean, vindictive and aggressive in a way thatās ugly and destructive. I honestly donāt get it. So, YES, I agree with you 100%, they never supported PBO. Other than the professional left yahoos and burned out emoprogs, I really donāt understand why heās gotten this far at all.
^5 meta. Not a single cell of anything resembling presidentiality in this ones energy field. I am so tired of seeing the pictures of the ugly ones. They all look ugly to me. Easier to stay offline - in fact, Iāll go do laundry now! More productive! ā¤ļø
I love doing laundry!
I hate washing dishes, doing laundry is tolerable.
I find both therapeutic at times.
Very.
Ha - my friend and I call laundry “the non-work” (a very big draw here in retirementland - where thereās never enough time to do nothing). You just pop it in, and then can sit around and eat bon bons - and still feel productive!
Thereās something about that rinse cycle…..
Tell me about it.
QQn….ummmmm
My dream: dishwasher going, washer going, dryer going, Roomba going, crock pot going, breadmaker going and me sitting on the couch knitting/reading/whatever and at the same time being VERY PRODUCTIVE!!! š
And, now, my dream! Whatās not to love?
Egg.zack.lee.
LOL!! Laundry, dishes, all the daily rounds tasks, very meditative and grounding! Perhaps if more of our politicians had to do such simple chores, they might remember what life is about for most.
Oh, meta, good morning. Not to make you self-conscious about “sharing,” but every time I read one of your rapier, impassioned take-downs, it not only reminds me of my dear NJ roots, which I mean in a good way (miss NJ people who know how to tell it like it is!), but you always find exactly the right words, the right language, the right context, and the right brevity and tone to use …
… while remaining classy about it …
… and I laugh and laugh. This oneās ready for a campaign billboard. Brava!
Hhahahaa, thanks and love you, Booms!
GM Meta.
I understand anti-establishment sentiment — hard to believe that any American who was a teen during the Vietnam War wasnāt anti-establishment then.
While a freshman at UCLA, traveled to the VA in WLA with a group of guys (boys to men) from my dorm for them to register for the Selective Service draft. The WestLA Veteranās Adm. building overlooks the Veteranās cemetery, so while they were filling out the forms on the 10th (guessing) floor we had a great view of vets KIA.
But I donāt understand rudeness and closed-mindedness, which are Berniebots behavior standards. Prefer civil society, not insults and condescension.
From your timeline this morning:
I was very much counterculture myself during that time period. But thatās not how I feel about the Obama years at all. Iām in agreement with how PBO is handling how the world has changed. I appreciate his modern approach and his resolution of the most complex affairs, both domestic and global. I approve of the progress heās made. So Iām not in the camp that understands fully the substance of Sanders & his supporters. The shaking of fists and yelling of soundbites are no longer enough for me. I need substance and PBO is more than enough in that department. He has served a banquet!
wow…i wish you could put this statement in a series of tweets…..
Meta needs a thread today, btās - she is on Fiyah with this new moon in Aries, Cardinal fire, leads the zodiac! Go for it Meta!!
^5.
Agree with PF58 and MightyP.
Absolutely stellar statement, encapsulates why Obots *cherish* this President.
He considers all angles, seeks input from all (especially those who disagree with him, because heās always learning).
Have no idea what college freshman orientation is like now, but it would be a huge benefit for incoming freshman to be reminded that you can always learn from other people — regardless of what your snap judgment of that person is.
So many doors of opportunity for *everyone* in the world have been opened by the love, respect, hard work and focus that President and First Lady bring to their jobs.
Although we in TODville know that further greatness awaits Barack and Michelle, it is going to be so hard to let them go next January.š¦
They are indies & rethugs who donāt vote Dem anyway.
Good West Coast morning NW, Chipsticks & TOD family.
Thatās funny NW!!!šš
Congrats amk on First! I love your new puppy. How does Jenny feel about her? Have you given her a name that begins with a “J” yet?
Details man, I want details
sheesh, itās been just over 24 hours.
aaand yuss, it will be something with J.
jtp took a sniff at the competition and walked away in her usual
regallethargic way.the other one hasnāt stopped drooling.
w/smh
Well, if you would give up this information voluntarily, Iād be more…quiet? LOL!!!
Now, tell me, how did this new addition come to be in your orbit?
Who does she really belong to? Wifey Unit, Daughter Unit, ?????? Did you win her at a Raffle?

What happened to the wayward feline? What did you do with the monkeys?
Are you building your own personal zoo?
feline is roaming around SA.
havenāt seen the monkeys around for a long time now. hmmm.
Uh Oh…
I feel a childrenās book coming alive here - “amk and the critters of SA”
Whadda ya think? Kind of catchy, no?
Converting grams to pounds - she only weighs 1 lb and 13 ounces. Thatās not too fat for a puppy.

Hey, tweeters, letās get this out there!
Because Sanders is paying this guy enough money to choke a whale.
Aināt that the truth. Squandering money that is hard to come by from his supporters. Who, exactly, is corrupt? Who, exactly, is “honest and trustworthy?” Heās starting to terrify me.
If I knew how to ‘likeā your comment I would!
Bam!
Nail bashed da fuque into that wall!
Especially since she gave exactly the same reasons in her statement at the time.
good luck with that - nominate someone who could only win his home state
Yet another poll suggests Kasich is Republicansā best hope in November
A poll released Wednesday shows Bernie Sanders trailing Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania by six points, while both Democratic candidates lag behind Ohio Gov. John Kasich in a hypothetical fall match-up in the Keystone State.
The poll, released by Quinnipiac University, also shows Republican frontrunner Donald Trump leading Ted Cruz, 39%-30%. Kasich trails in third at 24%, but is the only Republican candidate who beat Clinton or Sanders in a head-to-head matchup in the key swing state, pollsters noted.
In a statement on the poll, Assistant Director Tim Malloy noted that no candidate has won the presidency since 1960 without winning two out of the three swing states of Pennsylvania, Florida and Ohio.
“Kasich is ahead of Clinton and Sanders in his home state (of Ohio), and now we see how strong he is next door, if he can jump over Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz,” Malloy said.
They are so pathetic!
By they, I mean Republicans.
No idea what this is about, and donāt want to know!
wtf!
Yep.
Ditto what Don said
Sounds disgusting and nasty Jacqueline.
Yep.
To get that word right you have to do a sort of throat-clearing sound on the ‘chā. I guess he went at it a little too vigorouslyš (We have the same sound in Welsh)
Holy. Shit.
Yes, keep stepping in it, Bernie. Let āem see the real you.
Rest in Peace.
Love this one! PBO is a warrior for all americans. Obama kung fu means killing you with kindness and using your opponents moves against themselves. It means being tough enough to withstand all barrages your opponents throw at you and the wisdom to plot the path forward.
Yes!
That the first word is ‘aweā says it all!
Wow, I hadnāt thought of it that way. Awesome!
The Presidentās words - perfect.
Kirkās - gag!
… and Tammy is STILL gonna kick his ass in November.
Yup… this reluctant capitulation will not save him. Itās a safe one for him.
I think PBO will take it any way he can get it.
Welp!
And the same could definitely be said for all of the candidates on the GOP side, including the ones who dropped out.
On the one hand … yes, please:
On the other hand, making a joke about it works for me!
LOL!
Good Morning!
Heads Up! 3:00pm EDT

Thanks!

Serious, sincere question ….
Just wonder if a mechanism exists by which the Executive Branch can bring suit against the Legislative Branch on behalf of the people - a case truly worthy of Supreme Court ruling.
Sounds good to me!
all roberts gotta do is not to side the rwāers on a few decisions. the rethugs will be crapping in their pants then.
Three separate and coequal branches so I think thatās definitely a NO. Only we the people can get this done. We need to win against those who are addicted to their hate to the detriment of America. We have to out vote them.
Respectfully, US District Court Federal Judge ruled, last year, that House Republicans could sue the Executive Branch to stop federal funding for health care. That suit is still active.
What Senate Republicans are doing is a far more grievous violation of the Constitution, besides being harmful to Americans.

Panama papers claim first banker ceo mofo.
David Corn just repeated on MSNBC what he says his 15-year-old daughter said about watching the brouhaha between Clinton and Sanders:
“Itās like watching your grandparents fight.”
Corn reiterated that itās all about making sure whichever candidate loses the nomination is still able to bring his or her people around to the winning candidate.
Then Joan Walsh comes on, hair on fire, and says Bernieās comments about Hillary are “sexist.” Not that again! Hillary can hold her own, itās not 2008, no need to mention gender in my book between these two candidates if SHE isnāt mentioning it (unless I missed something there)!
If itās sexist, call it out. If it is just normal back-and-forth mud-slinging, donāt.
IMHO.
MY issue with this is..that this the mediaās classic…both sides do it..when it is Sandersā incompetence that has been exposed…and he is scrambling to divert attention from his NYDN disastorous interview…and of course the media is more than happy to go along with it
The media “loves” a good thriller. Just heard Claire MaCaskill speak about moving beyond it … go back to talking about what both candidates have in common … of course, to stress that we have to come together for November. I think Hillary will go back to doing that before Sanders will (think sheās started already). Lots of young, enthusiastic voters who havenāt been through as many elections as some of us have … who need a little bit more guidance on how to redirect their energy later in the cycle. And that wonāt come from the media, either! Hoping an embittered Sanders is able to re-challenge his voters later on. We shall see.
BS is doubling down:
Good grief.

Wow! Nice spread!
Iāve convinced all of my family to vote for her on April 26th.
Excellent! Iāve always admired her. Really, really hope she wins!
I donāt like this one bit!
Hi Mrs. Obama! I love you! š
New post.
http://theobamadiary.com/2016/04/07/a-wonderful-tribute/
You know, this is one reason I hate corporations (itās all about money, and despite their protestations, never about people):
Many of you follow @nycjim, who apparently has been dumped by @mashable.
From @petercashmoreās (apt last name?) memo to staff:
“I must also share the news that Jim Roberts will be moving on from the
company. Jim has been instrumental in building Mashable into a truly
global media brand. He has built an editorial team that stands for
trust, credibility and accuracy, allowing us to compete with some of
the worldās most established media companies. He is an incredible
leader and mentor who has inspired us all to reach new heights. It has
been an honor to build this brand together.”
What happened?
GA Dudette.
Have no idea, but know Jim Roberts worked very hard for Mashable.
Hope he got a good compensation package, but he must feel at least a little betrayed. (Reposted on next thread, in case others have more info than I do.)
