What a REAL PRESIDENT ACTS/LOOKS LIKE!
I prefer to breathe and believe in the rule of law. President Obama believes deeply and passionately about the rule of law prevailing in the end. I will do the same and know that many, many good men and women are fighting for our nation right now. Right will win at the end of the day. I pray that too much damage is not done before these treasonous bastards are exposed.
Superb affirmation, DFš
Thank you, Susanne. We will get through this and be stronger for it. The rot needs to be exposed for those that either refuse to see other have not been paying attention
DF, I so agree with all you are saying. I am so concerned about our future. But when I get too depressed I think of the Obamaās and all of the folks he believes in. Thatās all of us. We canāt let this all happen without consequences. We must keep fighting.
Thank you DF for always being here and bringing wonderful information to us all
š dear sweet woman… hope all I see well with you. Agree with you
I am well, just tired. Weāve even had snow already. It is a beautiful fall, so trying to enjoy this time and breathe through all this crap.
I was relaying the Presidentās words recently on the current situation we are in. People including myself need to form our thoughts around them over and over again in my opinion. One thing the President said was that our resolve and commitment are most important in the trying times like now. This is when our vision is truly tested. Can we maintain our course in the face of enormous obstacles and seeming set backs? President Obama helped me to see this time in a new way and I wanted to rise to the challenge with all my heart. If it were not for this blog and the continued diligence in following President Obama, posting his addresses and projects I would not have found those inspiring words of the President to be in my path and would not have benefited from them. I am forever grateful to NW and everyone that posts here. It is so essential to my work and attitudes. Blessings one and all.
I also agree, that President Obama is helping keep us all sane. And this community. All of us are in this together.
Former US president Barack Obama made an impassioned plea on Friday for the world to embrace clean energy and overcome climate change at a gathering of experts in Argentina.
Obama told an audience of government ministers, business leaders and young environmental activists they were part of a generation with the scientific means and imagination to begin to repair the planet.
“This is no longer speculation, this is no longer an issue that we can put off, this is firmly in the present.”
“If we take advantage of this critical time, we have the chance to slow and even stop a trend that could be disastrous,” said Obama, who signed the Paris climate agreement …
“We cannot condemn our children and their children to a future they cannot repair,” said Obama.
“We are the first generation to feel the impact of climate change but weāre also the last generation that can do something about it.” …

Good afternoon Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Saturday afternoon. Congrats df, on being first this afternoon.
Nerdy, thanks so much for helping Ms. Chips and for the sacrifices youāre making for us TODāers. š«šššā¤
To all, know that the TOD family is in my prayers each morning during my quiet time with the Lord. Just saying. ā¤ ā¤ ā¤
I am thankful to God that I lived to witness one of the greatest President of The United States of America in President Barack Hussein Obama āš āš āš
GA, one and all - have yourself a *good* day, whatever form that takes for you!
Iām always encouraged when I see our President Obama in his continued outreach to our *future*. ‘Yes, we can!ā is a wonderful and consistent reminder that we do not need to be sheeple, no matter how bad the outlook may seem.
Yes, we can this Saturday, and this weekend, everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving, {{{ VC }}}, found this little gem (prolly should read it again first! But the pic is pretty cute!) Love to you and yours, dear VC! ā¤ļø
Thanks for the good wishes, MP. I havenāt decided yet whether or not Iām going to bake or cook anything ‘fancyā for the holiday (as Offspring and I are not having anyone over, nor are we going anywhere). It all depends on what I feel in the mood to do tomorrow (in the words of my grandma ‘Godās willingā). š
I hear ya, VC, I hear ya… lovely to have Number One Son home š”ā¤ļøā¤ļø
{{{MP}}} I actually stuck a sweet potato pudding into the oven about an hour ago. God was willing. š Offspring went to church, and I am now free to play online since Iāve finished cooking for the day. Lifeās good! š š
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving VC!!!
Thank you, Betsy! The sun is shining brightly, thereās a nice, cool breeze, and Iām done cooking for the day. Life is good. I have *lots* to be thankful for. Are you celebrating this Thanksgiving too, or do you restrict yourself to celebrating Thanksgiving in your adopted country?
When the kids were younger, we celebrated both; now, we celebrate one as the kids are off on American Thanksgiving and working on Canadian Thanksgiving. Once in awhile, I have them over for the Sunday of Canadian Thanksgiving for a special meal, but thatās getting harder as they get married and are off onto their own lives.
JHC.

MACRI AND OBAMA PLAY GOLF.
Oh look! Serious and concerned people doing actual work!
Lol!! I was just about to comment: wtf, are these people, looking intelligent, informed and in synthesis, actually Working!!? As an administrative team is meant to do! Why, yes, it appears so -
Then I sighed, in longing…
Wouldnāt it be ironic if PR ended up having sustainable energy everywhere and the best most advanced power grid in the W.Hemisphere? Just sayinā š
This is what Iām thinking!! What if PR wound up being the GREENEST, most energy efficient in the world? Talk about making lemonade!!
Zacklee!!!š
I should add: AS LONG AS TRUMP DOESNāT GET INVOLVED……..
But so unbelievable that the US government would opt out of helping to pay to repair the network for their own people. I imagine if PBO was in charge it would be a joint project with the US govt and Elon Musk.
Exactly the same characteristics as Trump ….
šš¼š„š. Happy Birthday (not) to the mofo, and all strength and courage to the people in those 80 cities, standing for freedom and a life worth living. May vPutin go down right alongside his goonboy HumptyTrumpty. May they eat their cake together in gitmo
He knows heās fucked ….
ICYMI ….
Take care everyone ….
It happens early, guys moving into girlsā place in the front and trying to take over their work. This little girl was not having it.

Great question. Republicans want to talk about Weinstein but forget that they elected an avowed p*ssy grabber. They need to shut the hell up.
Good afternoon on this beautiful October day. Off the political subject, but just have to share my joy in this beautiful October day. In Oklahoma, October is the best month. Skies are beautiful beyond belief, the temps are 70s and 50s, wind is mild, just a breeze, not “sweeping down the plain.” Spring here is unpredictable, but October aahhhhh! Last night we had a thunderstorm, today it is clear and sparkling. I think there should be a color called Oklahoma October Sky Blud. It is so beautiful.
Days like this give us hope and courage to carry on and fight back. Love to all of you…..
š… I feel the same way about October in Arizona. Favorite month of the year for me. Just beautiful! So glad to hear from you. Hope all is well
Hi, DF
I checked out the riverfront branch of the YMCA last week. A beautiful facility with a very diverse crowd, discounts for various age groups and a special Hurricane Irma waiver of sign-up fee. Will start going there to complete my long-neglected swimming lessons (thank you for the encouragement) and to work off my mocha frappaccino induced 10 pounds. Found out a neighbor goes to this branch as well, so I will have company some days. The hardest thing so far is finding a tank-style one-piece swimsuit.
SO,SO,SO Proud of you for taking this important, potentially lifesaving step!! My heart is happy:) Please share your progress. So proud:) A true life skill
Thanks, DF. Will keep you apprised as I will need all of the encouragement I can get, not so much about the lessons, I have no fears about that, but because I have a hard time being in places with many people around me that I do not know.
One moment at a time. You will be alright. Have faith. I canāt tell you how absolutely thrilled I am for you. Truly. You will be in my thoughts and I know youāll do great. Iām proud of you, CEB.
Hi Carolyn, good to see you here and reminding us that there is beauty all around us. NE Fla. is still blazing hot, so much so that my azaleas are confused by blooming out of season. Air conditioning is still a must and flip-flops are the footwear of choice when bare feet are not optional.
Awesome thread on the Steele dossier:
GA, TODbots.
Congrats, DF on your solid Au ā
Thanks, NW for all you do.

I wonder when it was taken. Nice!
Shame this little POS. He is a disgrace to his elected office
Amazing that white folks are still trying to sell the story of the happy, smiling, dancing and singing darky, loyal and grateful to the massa. They need to read “We Wear the Mask” by Paul Laurence Dunbar.
You know, CEB, I am now convinced that nothing, not even education, would have any impact on white people who believe deeply in the ideology/doctrine of āwhite supremacy.ā
With you there, nathkatun. No need to waste the energy, much like there will always be good vs. evil, God vs. satan !
Another black man murder by white cops and they walk away free. That is what the protest is about.
In MI, a 12yo Girl was raped. She gave birth. Now the State has awarded the Rapist….. joint Custody? The main goal here: So the State can refuse the child Food, Health Care Coverage & then Award the Rapist Joint Custody?
Cruel. Crude. Wickedly Evil.
This is the first time I have heard of this atrocity, but I will bet that the child is Black. They deem our children unworthy of protection, indeed not even seeing them as children, innocent and in need of consideration and protection.
The Rapist.
This 12yrs old is wiser beyond her age.
The more I read about this Horror, the angrier I get.
How is this acceptable in 2017? Jesus Christ!
I PASSED ANGRY A VERY LONG TIME AGO..JUST TRYING TO GET TO ARIZONA IN A FEW MONTHS AND GET RID OF 21 YEARS OF BAD BAGGAGE!..#DONE!
I donāt konw how bad this is.
Africa, I hope this is not as bad as it looked.
President Obama. What a lovely sound it is to my ears! (and to my ā¤ļø)
The cover event
Never mind. Somehow the WH and its kiddos will find a way to recover largely.
Good. I hope this is just another one of his bankrupted businesses.
This bast$$$ love to project. He need to be quiet. He is no better than Weinstein. I suppose he has forgotten about all of the women who accused him of sexual harassment and how he could grab them by the p%%%% if he wanted to. He is a despicable sexual predator.
I agree, 100%, with Professor Wong about the reasons why we should do away with the antiquated and undemocratic electoral vote as the basis for electing a president. Sadly, however, given the complex Constitutional framework for amending the Constitution, I donāt think that itās possible to get rid of the electoral college system. By the way, itās not just the electoral college system thatās insanely undemocratic. The way the United States Senate is set up is plainly undemocratic. As a Californian, I resent the fact that my stateāwith a population of more than 38 million peopleāhas the same number (2) of U.S. Senators as Wyoming, with total population of slightly over a half million people.
EXACTLY!!
Sheila, thank you for sharing Pretty Footās tweet with us. I will forever be proud to have voted for President Obama. Most importantly, I feel blessed to have been around during his presidency. What an extraordinary human being! Smart, Caring, Honest, Warm, Funny, and deeply dedicated to the values of democracy, tolerance, fairness and the rule of law.
There is video of Ta-Nehis Coates being interviewed in which he speaks about how extraordinary Pres Obama is
I posted it in the previous thread
Just got finished watching Hidden Figures. What a great and inspiring movie! I donāt go to the movies, nor do I watch much TV…which is the reason for my just watching now….shame on me!
Glad you did. Everyone should see it.
Vegas shooter left a note.

Never mind. Nothing to see here. Not worth a click

Jonathan Pring just wanted to do the right thing.
After seeing the news of the massacre in Las Vegas, the 36-year-old Phoenix resident and native of Britain decided he no longer felt comfortable keeping two firearms in his house. On Tuesday, he called the Phoenix Police Department and voluntarily handed over his guns, documenting the moment with a series of photos on Facebook and a heartfelt message.
Then the hateful comments came….and came…and came.
Good for him. Iām sure he has figured out by now that this country has a gun disease and that making violent threats is a part of Conservative culture. That is who they are. I hope others follow his example and turn in their guns.
WTF!
Wish i could go….
anyone from TOD going
Wish I could go:) Will be with them in spirit.
Just finish watching our forever FLOTUS on C-Span.
Her conversation with Shonda Rhimes.
Sheās so wonderful.
now, if only the fucking nyt realized their own decades old hypocrisy, jake. the turd was blossoming under their very noses and they smelled roses.
Just like Tapper and the media enabled Trump, and gave him all of the free media that attributed to his rise to the White House with the assistance of Russia.
Trump……f—ing moron dotard.
A sociopath in ‘black and whiteā.
Count on it unless he is arrested and jailed by Mueller sometime really soon ….
Goodnight TOD ….
GWBās former ethics lawyer Richard Painter cracks me up, although none of this is really funny. But heās losing it the way we all are. When you first see him on the teevee, he appears to be around 100 years old (heās only 56) and meek and mild. Ha! WTF!
Goodnight, TOD!
Something beautiful for you
So how long is it going to take Charlottesville to take down the Lee Traitor Statue? Do they want more violence?

GM TODville.
As we know, an entire volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica could be written on every stupid thing FUBAR says, every single day, but man oh man… the “leader of the free world,” someone 24% of the US population idolizes…
Good morning, TODville. I hope you have a great Sunday.
THIS will bring love and light to your heart and spirit.
Last night my son and I went to see āBlade Runner 2049ā is was okay. It was a visually stunning movie and the sound was stunning also. But the movie was lacking, I couldnāt quite put my finger on it. Something was missing. Now the original Blade Runner was a masterpiece, the plot and the acting were first rate, it had a heart and a soul to it. Maybe Iāll go see the new Blade Runner again just to be sure I didnāt miss anything.
Between fits of worrying about war with Korea and/or Iran (which is bad enough), our federal government demonstrates with their words and actions that they do not believe that they work for the American people, that to them, democracy equates to taxpayer wallets, nothing more. THEY DO NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO DISGUISE this.
The truest toon about FUBAR, published in August of last year:
Also this (my evergreen tweet):
Disgusting behavior and attitude from Brock. Absolutely disgusting. Is there no end to their white male callous defensiveness and disregard for what the people are actually going through? UGH UGH UGH
So basically FEMA told the mayor of Puerto Rico to fuck off.
Oh, yes he did.
Morning, meta….if it was you that posted a link from Lin Manuel Miranda to buy a special tshirt, whereby the proceeds go to PR…thanks. I bought one:)
Morning TOD:)
You are AWESOME.
Shocking. I know.

I thought there was SUPPOSED to be a separation of church and state? ANYBODY LISTENING???

Gāmorning Nerdy & TOD! Wishing everyone a peaceful and pleasant Sunday.
On another note, looks like thereās a bit of tension this morning between Senator Bob Corker (R) from Tennessee and Dolt 45…Letās see the media spin this as a “Dems in disarray” narrative. Paging Chris Cillizza for his “I blame Hillary” tweet….
dt being dt. Fucking moron that he is
http://www.politicususa.com/2017/10/08/trump-opened-mouth-killed-republican-tax-cuts-rich.html
I think itās a bit of both.
Corker and the Republicans brought this on themselves with their treatment of President Obama for the last eight years. So Corker can go fuck himself on the way back to Tennessee.
{{{ ā¤ļø TOD ā¤ļø }}}. Offline today, itās all too much for WMP/W. I need to find a place to live where I donāt spend every day feeling as if Iām dying from the environmental impact. Overwhelming. Big hugs all around. šš»šš¼ššÆš
