The argument is not that racial profiling is not taking place, but that it's okay to collectively treat blacks differently.
—
(@AdamSerwer) October 10, 2025So in the same breath, people are arguing for treating blacks with blanket suspicion AND denying that race has anything to do with it.

It's really the perfect kind of "post-racial" racism. Deny racism exists, while advocating that blacks be treated worse than whites.

Evening all!
Evening! And Congrats on 1st!
ge vetivera24 - wtg on 1st
Thanks JOB and 99
Congrats vetivera :)
Fine selection, as always, NW
Thanks, Bob.
:-)
I just spent the last 2 minutes crying with laughter at this one JoB - have a great evening
Ha! Thanks!
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantastic tweets Nerdy, thank you hugely massively enormously!!
You’re welcome, Chips.
Gov O’Malley is the real deal. He is always for the people he serves. Love him.
I do, as well. And we won’t mention how Donna feels about him!!!
All she had to say was … I voted for the Democratic President as I am a Democrat. The alternative was not an option and then cite how the republican’s policies were not right for Kentucky.
That is unless she did vote for the Mitt and was afraid to lose the democratic vote.
Either way she is a crappy candidate. Thankfully I am not in her state as I personally would not vote for her.
Thought it was an odd, joyless way of putting it—-“accepts a baby for a few moments”
Almost how Romney’s skills with babies could have been described. (Eek.)
Thank you so much Nerdy - delicious tweets - other than Old Chuck - I also love the tweets from Josh & Jay Carney - pointing out, yet again, that the media does NOT do anything of worth to provide truth and news.
Thanks, 99ts.
Holy Smokes Ms. Wonka- this is a mighty amount of tweets! woohoo :)
Woohoooo, indeed. :)
:) Good Morning Mighty Wonka~

I know, donna. This man is breathtaking. I’ve been ooohing and aahing for 7+ years—would have thought I’d be used to POTUS’ appearance by now, but No, it never gets old.

Here is a different video with Chuck Todd playing the French Horn.
His horn blowing starts at 1:25 mark.
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/chuck-todd-french-horn
Well, then, I’ll stop watching at 1:24. Ha!
I was taught when young - that our democracy had “secret ballots” and you were never asked “who did you vote for”. I find the GOP and Chuck Todd are disgusting for the current b.s. they are talking about Allison Grimes.
I was watching Rev. Al when he was talking about how Allison Grimes of Kentucky refuse to say if she voted for Barack Obama. No one thought her response were right. Is she that scare to mention Obama’s name, unless she is saying something negative. All I heard her say was she was a Clinton Democrat.
Why couldn’t she just say that she voted for Barack Obama?
Because maybe she didn’t???????
If she didn’t vote for him, then couldn’t she say that.
Hay yes I voted for Barack Obama, but that doesn’t mean I agree with everything he says or do. All Grimes had to say. Show alittle dam backbone.
Is the people in Kentucky that dam racists?
Yes and yes. That’s her problem, and theirs.
I am guessing that she probably didn’t and is afraid to lose the democratic vote.
It also could be that she (as I would) is honoring the sanctity of each person’s right to vote anonymously. A right that I would never want to see undermined.
People are like that Bobfr, and they have a right to be like that, as for me, I will tell anyone and everyone that I voted for Barack Obama 08,12, and would again if he could run again.
Bobfr, given her comments during the course of the campaign, I seriously doubt that is the reason.
You on the other hand are a man of integrity and that has always been reflected in your posts. We may not agree on single issue but there is never any questions about what you stand for. Grimes….not so much.
Bob - That was the first thing I thought of, and she should have been ready to respond in that way. Of course, I’m not in politics, so no telling why some of these Dems act the way they act.
nospin, she probably didn’t, after all she’s a Clinton Democrat.
Maybe she doesn’t like AA people….many DEMs in her state did not vote for PBO because he’s AA.
a possibility because her response towards POTUS does not make any sense at all. I am giving her the benefit of the doubt and am choosing to believe she has no moral compass.
I want her to win. Period.

Yes We Can
Only been to SF once, but it’s my favorite city! Wish I were there to greet the President!
Putin, in reality, is no match for these folk ….
Ukraine will prevail.
The rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia and Iran’s involvement in the fight against Daesh, not only in Syria but also Iraq, are elements of a fundamental realignment in the ME.
GWB & Cheney (and, before them, several other Republican Presidents, including Ike) pursued (neo) colonialist objectives throughout the region.
9/11 was but one of many pay-backs.
But, what GWB & Cheney did by invading and occupying Iraq catalyzed the most dangerous threat to global security that any colonial adventure in the ME ever has.
Irony, being what it is, has former foes (for centuries) having to align to eradicate a threat that they collectively realize is far graver than their centuries of hating each other - Daesh.
Fortuitously, Americans elected Barack Hussein Obama twice, because either of the neoconster thugs who ran against him would have already ignited a conflagration instead of strategically striving to align centuries-long foes to destroy Daesh.
Now if Turkey can just get its act together - Daesh will be destroyed and folk in the ME can get on with being more interested in addressing the great inequities within their own nations without the distraction of colonialists subjugating them.
For sure, one of the most potent reasons why they’d best do so is that OIL is increasingly not their future, but they’ve got unparalleled access to the SUN!!! Let’s hope they start thinking creatively about that fact and about how technology can be used to transform desert into oasis.
These Kurdish women are amazing and an inspiration to everyone around the world. They are putting everything on the line to fight for their country and we have a hard time just getting US women to vote.
Something you would never, ever want to be on the receiving end ….
Finally tracked down the amazing Biden photos:
Oohlala on the first tweet.
So glad you’ve got “the” kiss on camera!
Love @VP.
Haven’t been online most of the day. Was there coverage here on the memorial service for Jim Brady that @VP spoke at today?
Judith, you are the envy of every TODer. What a day and what a memory.
Congratulations, how cool is this. I hope you frame them and plaster them around the house. Good for you.
NW - in moderation. Isn’t it okay to post 2 tweets at once?
Judith - I did, this evening, and it went through. Who knows with WP!
So sorry, Judith. WP is weird sometimes.
Congratulations on your HUGE moment in the spotlight. You are amazing!
Don’t forget to get a good night’s sleep, everyone. Tomorrow’s my birthday! Ha!

Allow me to be the first to wish you Happy Birthday, Jacqueline, since tomorrow is yet another very busy day for me.
You remembered! All kidding aside, thanks so much, Bob. Glad to be this age - and to be a great grandmother x 2.
My son stopped in and said he arranged this sweet little event for me, and the whole family’s going bright and early … what a guy! I’m just looking for a funnel cake with “68” on it!

Thank you so much, Bob. Hope you get a little down time this weekend!
let me be the first to say… Happy Birthday.
Sweet! And I thank you.
Early Happy Birthday Mrs. O’Boomer, but you will get another tomorrow. We go back a long ways. :)
Way back, COS, when the good (Obama) times started to rock ‘n’ roll! Thanks.
Happy Birthday eve, Jacqueline! Many happy returns.
Thanks, Judith!
Happy B-Day J’OB.

2014 Ebola Outbreak in West Africa - Case Counts
http://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/outbreaks/2014-west-africa/case-counts.html
“Ms. Yousafzai said she spoke by telephone with Mr. Satyarthi and that they agreed to work together for better opportunities for children and to help their two countries overcome their differences.
“We also decided that since he’s from India and I’m from Pakistan that we would try to bring a strong relationship to India and Pakistan,” Ms. Yousafzai said in the news conference, adding that she and Mr. Satyarthi would invite Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan to the Nobel ceremony in Oslo in December.”
BTW, I have no doubt that President and First Lady Obama contributed very strong support for these two exceptional individuals to receive the prize.
Wouldn’t that be something if those two nuclear powers could come to an agreement and be able to compromise without violence?
Inspirational Nobel winners, for both countries.
(I heard yesterday evening that Greenwald’s BFF was considered a possible winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. So glad that I awoke hearing that such an abomination did not happen.)
Cool!
Leads me to believe the Turks are in cahoots with some nefarious person place or thing.
I like Sen. Boxer more then that other California Senator. She is welcoming the President like she is welcoming a son. You never see that Sen. Feinstein welcoming the President when he is in CA.
I sometimes wonder if Steve Israel knows what he’s doing?

Pardon me…..as I was leaving, I saw this ad by Ms Davis. I thought it was truthful, but the GOPers are screaming and complaining. MotherJones.com is now not too happy with the ad. I approve it for it is Truthful.
The Media and the GOP will turn it now and it will become like what happened in NJ in 2009……when Corzine made a great ad calling Christie out for throwing his weight while serving as US Attorney’s Office……cherry-picking cases.
Please take a look. It has been a hard week. G’Nite. See YOU all Tomorrow.
I see nothing wrong with the ad. All I ask is, is it true? If yes, then what’s the problem.
I knew FLOTUS would comment on Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi winning the Nobel Peace Prize-mo.
