It’s sooooooo refreshing to get a break from the madness Jacqueline, was out most of today and away from it all, came back with a clear head! Then two minutes looking at Twitter and you feel like going back out again.
I saw one worshiper likening this incident to being the Voice of God, spoken on a Good Friday afternoon. Person felt no further sign was necessary! Of course, same person seems to think tehbern is the living breathing reincarnation of Christ Jesus. Okay, y’all. The madness is overwhelming me too many days. Love you guys, tho. Big hugs all around!
I want to focus on the good news but I also want to hold in the Light the people being assaulted by the crazed Trump mob and also the people who are in positions to be super delegates. They are being assaulted in a different way I think. We are going to have to be very strong and I know a group of people that help keep me that way and they are here. Blessings and thanks.
I’m in - but I’m not such a bif fan of the military - let alone a coup - I believe this could be overturned while the US people suffer under post Obama stress
22nd Amendment
“Limits the number of times that a person can be elected president: a person cannot be elected president more than twice, and a person who has served more than two years of a term to which someone else was elected cannot be elected more than once.”
Stupidist idea ever!! (Then again, I gather the guy wants a few months sleep - so he can have 1 term off )
Well - a democrat was the only person ever elected more than twice - and PBO would be the first person since then where it would happen again - it’s another GOP form of voter suppression - they excel at this. The voting right s act should have been named the anti GOP voting suppression act.
FDR got too much done for the people, and other people had to stop that. He was the only one who had more than two terms. He got us through the Great Depression and World War II, and died in office. George Washington was supposed to have “set the example” of two terms, but technically others (I think) ran for a third and lost. Usually it’s frowned on getting rid of a law and going back to the previous standards while the same guy is running - which is why they vote for a raise in the next president’s salary and not their own, etc.
You know all this, I’m sure, but the basic problem in our history from my viewpoint is that WE DIDN’T KNOW BARACK OBAMA WAS COMING ALONG and that we’d want to keep him right where he is, sleep deprived and in the White House.
And I’m pretty sure George Washington was dead set on not making himself look like the monarchy - what they were all hoping to stay separated from - by staying in office more than two terms. He insisted on not being called “your highness” and other royal terms, and they all finally agreed on “Mr. President.”
Having woken to the usual news of more stupid comments from the GOP pretenders - I will continue to push the reality - every last piece of hate coming out of their mouths starts with the US media.
Why does abortion continue to be at the forefront of US politics - because the MEDIA keeps it there. Why aren’t they asking Trump the important questions about running an administration. How would he handle an economic melt down, how would he keep unemployment from falling, what is his view on unemployment payments, social security. What is his health care plan. Is education a right or a privilege. etc etc etc
But no - lets give the pro life fools some publicity - lets hate on women a little more.
Our President is a kind, decent, compassionate, just, competent, and courageous man. We are blessed every day he is our president. He embodies these words from Dr. Martin Luther King: “I will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Thank you so much, Bill R., for expressing so well everything I feel about President Obama. As you said: “We are blessed everyday he is our president.” For me, at 70 years, I feel even more blessed to be alive during his presidency. I know there is still so much hatred and ugliness in this world, but there is also so much beauty, grace and human kindness. President Obama and his family are all about beauty, grace and human kindness!
Sometimes I just can’t believe President Obama is for real. His kind and generous heart is the size of Manhattan. Wow, wow, wow, what a great man.
It’s starting to feel like he built a very solid cake the first few years - saved the economy, passed healthcare, ended 2 wars, and on and on and on - and now he putting the frosting on the cake. And he’s embellishing this cake with the most beautiful flourishes, for all to see and enjoy. Everyone gets a slice.
I’m guessing my husband would say the Great Smoky Mountains. However, I know that he would love to do at least part of the PCT (Pacific Crest Trail). We think his long distance/backpacking days are over, but I know he wishes he could do some out west.
Have to brag a little. Besides having done the AT twice, once as a thru hike and once in sections, he is currently working on completing his fourth map of hiking the 900 miles of trails in the Smokies.
All Trump would need to do is pull the “punishments” out of the attic - believe wire coat hangars and back alleys were all the rage, back when he was in his “formative” years. Where he remains, in his formative years, because I never saw any mature person out in public every day make it up as he goes along, like this guy does. Oh, and, I’m pretty sure I read he implied to Marla Maples that she should “take care of” her pregnancy, when she brought him the news.
I was given a “safe” phone number in the 1960s - shared among many. Expensive option. Long story as to how I came by same - but it circulated around the college I attended - girls who were known to be pregnant were “sent home in disgrace”. Unbelievable - not allowed to remain in a university college!
First, Dan is tweeting during the Trump hootenanny on MSNBC, and you can tell how bored he is listening to that bozo, because he tweets this among the others. Too funny.
.@POTUS should stop wearing a tie for the last 6 months of his Presidency to free the American male from this anachronistic sartorial prison
If you mean his “punish women who have abortions” drivel, even the March for Life people came out with Planned Parenthood today and said that’s not what they’re for, and he’s the worst lowlife ever to run for President (I added that last part).
He is literally leading his insane fanatics back to dark centuries. And not a peep from the fifth columnist fourth estate whose fefes were hurt when PBO called them out?
I have heard many of ’em flip out today (for a change) about it. Don’t know how long that will last, of course, since they’re living in somewhat the same dark century he is.
Meanwhile PBO is doing all he can for those in jail for drug offences. How do you get folks to understand what they are voting for? Truly horrible insane people are writing these laws.
Me too! I even took a deep breath and watched CM with DT. Yuck! That one was hard to watch. Winging everything may appeal to many, but Hillary comes off knowing what she speaks about.
Better story. I had to go to the post office today to ask a question. When no one else was inside the post master asked me what I thought of the election so far? The employees cannot talk politics, but when Obama ran in 2008 it was very evident to those working at my rural post office whom I supported from my mail. I was involved with OFA. The two working there were also Obama supporters, only secret supporters due to their job and living in a Conservative rural area. When I got a bunch of Obama campaign buttons I let them both choose one from all the different ones I had, again when no one else was inside. Back to today. He is supporting Hillary too as he does not think a revolution can be pulled off. He said if Obama could not do it why would Bernie be able to do it? It was good to know I am on the same wavelength with at least one other person in my neighborhood.

Thank you, President Obama, for your just and fair treatment of all citizens!
{{Jacqueline}}
{{{Chips}}}
And now I really must walk away from politics for a couple of hours, and try to get Trump’s disgusting treatment of women out of my head!
Thanks for sharing this about our President, Chips - I sometimes think he’s the only sane politician in the country (along with VP Joe!).
It’s sooooooo refreshing to get a break from the madness Jacqueline, was out most of today and away from it all, came back with a clear head! Then two minutes looking at Twitter and you feel like going back out again.
I know that feeling! Will force myself to limit my intake a little better. Ugh.
Kindness is always needed and appreciated:
Congrats Jacqueline
Good afternoon Chips & everyone!
back to work ….
I saw one worshiper likening this incident to being the Voice of God, spoken on a Good Friday afternoon. Person felt no further sign was necessary!

Ha!!
A smart little bird. Lol.
GM Ms Chips - there will never be another one to match him - he speaks the language of Princes and Paupers - without favor for either.
+ 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
We seriously need to start working on a military coup to keep him. Are you in?
I’m in - but I’m not such a bif fan of the military - let alone a coup - I believe this could be overturned while the US people suffer under post Obama stress

I never understood it! If the people want to democratically elect someone 100 times, then why stop them!?!

“WE DIDN’T KNOW BARACK OBAMA WAS COMING ALONG”
Exactly!!!
I’d forgotten all my history Jacqueline, so thank you for the info! Do you think we can get it repealed before November?
I’m for that.
And I’m pretty sure George Washington was dead set on not making himself look like the monarchy - what they were all hoping to stay separated from - by staying in office more than two terms. He insisted on not being called “your highness” and other royal terms, and they all finally agreed on “Mr. President.”
The end. (Sorry - TMI.)
GEORGE WASHINGTON AND CRONIES WERE SLAVE OWNERS…NOT MY FAVORITE!
THE FIRST AND LEGAL PRESIDENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A NATIVE AMERICAN..IT WAS THEIR LAND IN THE BEGINNING..THE WHITE BOYS IIN THE WIGS STOLE IT!
THE WAY THE WORLD SHOULD BE…THE WAY GOD WANTED HIS CREATION TO BE!
So damn proud of our President!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS!! Such a kind hearted man. #LoveMyPresident!
Heart melted, Purpleshoes!!

The demise of the media can’t come soon enough.
We truly are blessed to have him as president. No one will ever match up to him.
We truly are blessed to have him as president. No one will ever match up to him.
Everyone is saying the same thing today - no better truth can ever be told.
She puts her arms around him, so tenderly, as he does to her. Let’s stretch these next months out, because we sure don’t want to see him go.
PLEASE DON’T REMIND ME!
Our President is a kind, decent, compassionate, just, competent, and courageous man. We are blessed every day he is our president. He embodies these words from Dr. Martin Luther King: “I will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
Just beautiful, Bill.
I just got around to listening to the video - and the tears are rolling down - when the man next to PBO started smiling - that was such a moment.
Thank you so much, Bill R., for expressing so well everything I feel about President Obama. As you said: “We are blessed everyday he is our president.” For me, at 70 years, I feel even more blessed to be alive during his presidency.

AND THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY I AM GOING TO SUPERGLUE PBO TO HIS OFFICE CHAIR..<3
SO THANKFUL…THE APT. DRAPERY SCENARIO IS OVER….I KEEP THE WARM DRAPES…:) AND THE APT…:)
GOTTA’ GO AND GET RID OF MY BACKACHE…BLESSINGS EVERYONE!..MANIANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Take care of yourself, Sue!

Lovely, lovely way to look at it, meta.
O, were we holding hands on entering, JO’B? 😀
Looks like it, VC!
Mmmmmm, a cake of different flavours too. I like your analogy, Ms Pastry Chef.
I’m cryin’ again - he is beyond everything and everyone
Where’s Desertf? Arizona is/was burning (at time of pic). 😀
Here I am!
Was outside cutting the grass:)
Dear TOD hikers, they *chose* a simpler hike for us, and we…oops, you missed it!
And there’s always scaling the walls of Yosemite!!
I’ll pass, thank you, Meta. I’m a real terra firma addict. 😀
AIRLINE BAGGY PLEASE!

All I say, TnMG, is that I lift my hat to him. May he continue for as long as he can endure it.
Beauty Break
It’s TOO pink Meta, pink is to color what Jilly Boel is to music!1!1!
I hear ya, Chips! But I do make an exception for nature!
Well duh, don’t be blinded by the pink now. Widen your artistic eyes and you’ll see the contrasting yellow in the background, and the green and brown.
pssst:😉 The pink is attempting what the GOP & media do; overshadowing or overpowering other voices.

You’re having fun finding those images, aren’t you, JER? Ha!

Sickening POS.
I was given a “safe” phone number in the 1960s - shared among many. Expensive option. Long story as to how I came by same - but it circulated around the college I attended - girls who were known to be pregnant were “sent home in disgrace”. Unbelievable - not allowed to remain in a university college!
Those were the days … the days Trump and others would put women through, again. Ugh.
OMG, this IDIOT!
Wow, just wow.
This is the only comment needed to cover the GOP Primary
First, Dan is tweeting during the Trump hootenanny on MSNBC, and you can tell how bored he is listening to that bozo, because he tweets this among the others. Too funny.
Where is the msm poutrage over donald dreck’s latest misogynistic hate spewing?
The carnival barker fecker should be tested for mental issues immediately.
If you mean his “punish women who have abortions” drivel, even the March for Life people came out with Planned Parenthood today and said that’s not what they’re for, and he’s the worst lowlife ever to run for President (I added that last part).
This was in reply to your comment, amk.
He is literally leading his insane fanatics back to dark centuries. And not a peep from the fifth columnist fourth estate whose fefes were hurt when PBO called them out?
I have heard many of ’em flip out today (for a change) about it. Don’t know how long that will last, of course, since they’re living in somewhat the same dark century he is.
OMGEEEEEE!! How cute is this?
Aren’t those kids from black-ish sitcom?
Yes, indeed.
Yes and Black’ish is a comedy with a purpose. It always opens with an AA cultural history lesson. A great family show.
I have never watch Black-ish. What a nice picture of the first daughter.
SICK people:
Coming close to hating these people…but folks keep voting them into office…and they come up with such horrendous laws
😥😥😥😥😥😥😥
Meanwhile PBO is doing all he can for those in jail for drug offences. How do you get folks to understand what they are voting for? Truly horrible insane people are writing these laws.
You might have seen the photo of the teens praying with a grieving woman at a drive thru. Now we know who they are. Hear their story.
This is what our country needs, not that holy right wing I’m such a christian folks,
It is so nice of those teenagers.
In Donald J. Trump Republican world a 13 year old girl is rape, she has an abortion and she is the one punish.
Anyone watching the one or one interview between Maddow and Hillary
I am……..while on the treadmill.
good for you…
I am Watching HRC but will not watch Sanders. I love to see her discuss foreign policy.
So do I. She is “on fire.” She is WOW on foreign policy. Will not watch even one minute of Bernie.
watching too
Me too! I even took a deep breath and watched CM with DT. Yuck! That one was hard to watch. Winging everything may appeal to many, but Hillary comes off knowing what she speaks about.

It is good to find a kindred spirit
bt proves it every day.
That’ll teach me to refresh the page. But what a great tweet!

Takes me back to my childhood…
