Don’t we ALL miss the Obamas acutely? Seems like the knives are coming out for Joe Biden before he even announces. Mixed feelings about wanting a fresh face instead. We MUST win in 2020.
Hello Judith - I am late to reading Michelle Obama’s book. Just the introduction enhances the thoughts of what has been lost - too many times too many know not what we have - until it is gone.
The woman who decided to now speak out about VP Biden supported Bernie Sanders in 2016 and I think she is a Beto fan now. 2014 and now she speaks out, if it concern her that much she should have spoke out 2014.
Sometimes I don’t know what to believe. She probably knows if VP Biden runs … there is a big chance that he will beat Sanders … who knows what her motive is?
Tell me again how this got started? Democrats must not allow one candidate to knock off another by using his friends. Fight for our votes with solid plans. https://t.co/hwiNWjnI4X

She don’t look all upset to me. Sometimes you can’t believe people just because they say something. I don’t believe Biden meant any harm. I think this is just her way of trying to cause problems because Biden might decide to run. That’s her hand on his shoulder isn’t it.
BARR-the-fixer’s uncorroberated statements go on being repeated and taken at face value, while he and McConnell go on blocking the Mueller report. Trump is not your friend if you “got captured”. Likewise, CEOs will divest of their cash as long as he appears Not to be guilty. (Bravo!). Yea though the cover-up is burning our noses and flaming up our eyes - the Cloud is not lifted. And won’t be lifted till we see the entire Mueller report.

….”shocking’ flows of cash crossing the Atlantic to push ultra-conservative agendas.”
“U.S. Christian right ‘fundamentalists’ linked to the Trump administration and Steve Bannon are among a dozen American groups that have poured at least $50 million of ‘dark money’ into Europe over the last decade…
Between them, these groups have backed ‘armies’ of ultra-conservative lawyers and political activists, as well as ‘family values’ campaigns against LGBT rights, sex education and abortion…
They are spending money on a scale “not previously imagined”, according to lawmakers and human rights advocates…
Among the biggest spenders is a group whose chief counsel is also Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Jay SEKULOW
Another organisation has collaborated with a controversial Rome-based ‘institute’ backed by Steve BANNON.
And a number of the groups are connected to the World Congress of Families: a network of ultra-conservative activists which has links to far-right politicians and movements in several European countries, including Italy, Hungary, Poland, Spain and Serbia.
None of these American groups discloses who its donors are – though at least two have links to famous conservative billionaires, such as the KOCH brothers.”

Valerie is one of my oldest friends and a lifelong advisor – she was by my side when I first decided to run for office and for every major moment of the presidency. I’ve always been proud of Valerie and her extraordinary work to advocate for women, improve the lives of working families, and promote equality for all — but more than the policies she helped shape, I am proud of how she did the work. While Valerie was discovering her own sense of belonging, she was out there making sure other women knew they also deserved to be heard. “Finding My Voice” offers a rare look inside the presidency and a window into the life of a public servant who is dedicated to improving the lives of others. @ValerieBJarrett’s voice has often inspired me and I know her memoir will inspire others to lift their voices, too.

I cannot thank you enough for your continued support and generosity.
The local police and the city administration (they are Dems here) have been very supportive.
They usually do not bother law-abiding individuals.
But ICE has affected a number of people I know and many other I do not know personally …. but the cases are mentioned.
Fear is the common emotion of our daily experience.
Can you call ACLU in Columbus and alert them?
Thank you DF for your concern. I will double-check with her brother and see if this option has been explored.
