MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
Tally HO HO HO!
I hope everyone had a peaceful and enjoyable holiday. I have not posted in a while but I am here everyday. Also want to say that I received my Pete Souza book on Friday, it is gorgeous and ”heavy” in every sense of the word.
Merry Christmas and many thanks, Nerdy, and Happy Holidays - near and far - to everyone in TODville!
From the Irish, and for Chips:
This Christmas may you have …
“Walls for the wind
And a roof for the rain,
And drinks bedside the fire,
Laughter to cheer you,
And those you love near you,
And all that your heart may desire.”
Wishing all the Tod ohana a very merry Christmas!
♥️🙏🏻🎄🕯🎶
Merry Christmas TODVille!
Hello after two days of Christmassing in Seattle and Tacoma. We had a White Christmas this year. Half the family in attendance this year after last year’s sixteen in Munich followed by my daughter’s wedding in Salzburg, Austria. The almost one year newlyweds could not come here this year since their first baby is due the end of February.
Got Pete Souza’s Obama Portrait book, the new Michelle Obama in pictures book, and Jody Cantor’s Obama book. I don’t think the giver knew the Jody Cantor book was not a positive book. Got some other gifts too, but we all know which ones count most. Hee hee.
Obama’s Christmas tweet is much more popular then Trump Christmas tweet. Don’t tell Trump. Happy Holidays.
.
I am sorry.
ut, please delete this. thanks.
Hey, if you accidentally posted something, that means the odds of the rest of us doing it are lessened. Right? (I always worry I might someday accidentally post a record of my bank account balance and make y’all jealous, ya know?) 🙂
That was just too funny Amk. ROFL. Thanks for the laugh 😁
WHEN ACTUAL FAMINE ARRIVES…THEY WILL FINALLY SEE HOW STUPID THEY HAVE BEEN!
I meant to post this.
What do you call a broke santa?
Saint-NICKEL-LESS
Merry Christmas Amk, NerdyWonka, Chipsticks and all the TOD fam.
Good Morning, I hope everyone is fully rested after yesterday. Just a quick note, if you have not read the comments on Pete Souza’s book on Amazon, please read a few especially the one by Gingerbread. Have a great day everyone, I can relax as it is a holiday here today.
I bought two of the “Dream Big Dreams” junior readers for two of my grandkids- stunning books. My hope is to get his ‘adult’ book & the book on Michelle Obama for myself.. they’re on my wish list 😉
Have an extra book of Mrs. Obama’s pictures. Got one for birthday and one for Christmas. Yours if you want it. Free.
oh MissPat that is the kindest offer, you are lovely and thank you so much… however my son has promised both books to me very soon- Pete Souza’s President Obama book and our First Lady’s book also… so I am hopeful that I’ll receive them both soon. Again, thank you so much for your sweet offer. Happy Holidays to you & your loved ones.
Such a nice son you have. I will keep it and gift it to someone. Blessings to you to…
Yes they have their moments- sons 😉 I think that is a truly lovely idea, MissPat.
Good Morning TODVille.
Wishing you well in your personal and professional lives. Hoping for a year that will cement the fate of the Dotard and remove him from our daily lives.
Wishing everyone here a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year … here’s to a very BLUE 2018.
🙂

some rwnj from teresa may’s cabinet wants to punish UK univs if they don’t give ‘safe space’ for racists, xenophobes and bigots and other rw garbage.
http://www.bbc.com/news/education-42481329
such snowflakes, whose ‘ideology’ was proven wrong with so many wars started by them.
HA! I hope that Prince Harry says a jolly, FU, I’ll invite whoever I damn well please to my wedding:) Pissing trump off is just a benefit! Of COURSE the Obamas should be invited!
Isn’t sun owned by that australian fifth columnist? fuck’em. I don’t see either the queen or Harry buckling to the rwnj’s. Especially, after brexit.
You are talking about that Murdoch piece of crap.
THIS:) As it should be:)
We should NOT comment on rightwing psyops. Obviously this story is false. The Obama family is like family to the royal family so invitation has already been sent.
This is rightwing psyops and should NOT be replied to or rewteeted.
Even animals are no longer safe. I detest this idiot
Like I said, I fucking hate these people
Profit over people…and morals…andandand.
egg.sack.lee. pulling the plug in your own life to spite the dems. nutz.
a bigoted senile nutjob. well done, wwc folks.
THIS
Yes, you should read this.
Yes…you should follow him:)
That’s a great Tea Pain tweet but it’s not the one I intended to post in this thread. This is ….
dang I’d follow him (if wasn’t already) just for “douche canoe”
Reading it right now.
Just finish reading the letter and it was worth reading.
very good letter. we have all been saying the same thing for 8 years. many on the left didn’t have his back including his own party of cowards.
Perfect.
1/3 of the country thinks this is bullshit. Good grief, I hope the good guys prevail.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Obama books figured heavily into ours!
Mine too, Judith. Three new Obama books and one to return that I got for myself incase no one thought to get it for me.
Me too 🙂
Same here: I got Hillary’s book about the campaign and Joe Biden’s book! Can’t wait to read them. I’m also going, with GGail, to meet Pete Souza on Jan 17 and will get his book (signed by him hopefully) so this New Year will start with a bang.
Aloha Betsy, I’m reading Hill’s book now- enjoy!
I did. I read it in 4 hours on Dec 26th. Some of the best 4 hours in my life. I found it interesting, emotional and sad that this highly qualified woman was cheated out of the presidency.
Me too. Willing to gift one of Mrs. Obama’s picture book. Got two, do not want to be greedy.
Did I miss something? No comments on TPV anymore? Little facelift, too, I see:)
You have to click on the comments and then they’ll pop up. LL still moderates it with some excellent articles from Trevor and Nancy and a few from Spandan and wonderful articles from LL himself.
Thanks, Betsy:) I haven’t visited for a while…I really love all the writing that goes on there…all those that you mentioned are wonderful. Miss LL poking his head in here from time to time…hope that he had a restful and wonderful Christmas. I’ll go back and check that out. Thanks for the head’s up. Don’t know why I didn’t do that myself:)
Oh, Bob, I’m rollin’ on the floor laughing at that one! “Vanka and Jard” 🙂 🙂 🙂

GA TODville.
Hope everyone had a good Christmas, and will have time to this week to gear up for the new year.
This isn’t the best PBO article, but a couple of morsels of goodness:
Link to article (l like the photo The Guardian selected for their article):
Separately, there’s a group of tweeters who are obsessed with uncovering FUBAR’s ties to organized crime (specifically Russian for FUBAR, but evidence seems to indicate that Manafort has been mobbed-up since the Reagan Administration)…
Attempting to figure out how the mob figures into associates and members of this monstrous administration is a very deep rabbit hole, but here’s a tweet I like:
Another speculation floating around Twitter has to do with the missing Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos’ billions (and the Las Vegas shooting, if you can believe it — my research has led me to conclude that there’s a sinister link between Las Vegas and Whitefish Montana, but of course, this is speculation — however, there are just. too. many. coincidences…)
Here’s an article from June 2016 (and I think the $10 million is a low estimate):
Photo from June 2016 article:
Thank you for ALL of this!
The younger Roger Stone has some of that creepy dweebiness of Stephen Miller.
And we know what happened to Lee Atwater.
These Republicans are some corrupt, twisted tickets.
What lunacy looks like
Those deadly paper cuts and splinters from popsicle sticks…….

FBI Software For Analyzing Fingerprints Contains Russian-Made Code, Whistleblowers Say
In a secret deal, a French company purchased code from a Kremlin-connected firm, incorporated it into its own software, and hid its existence from the FBI, according to documents and two whistleblowers. The allegations raise concerns that Russian hackers could compromise law enforcement computer systems.
Take a meander down memory lane….you’ll love it

ty for this df
My pleasure:)
This is a trip down memory lane. Those were the days. We were so happy then
A President to be proud of.

The opposite of “Unity” is “Division” and division is one of the weapons the oppressors have used for ages to divide us mentally and physically.
The more ‘united’ we are, the ‘stronger’ we become. The more ‘divided’ we are, the ‘weaker’ we become. Today’s Kwanzaa principle [Umoja] is an opportunity for me to remind global Africans [Blacks] to do all things necessary to unite and stay united!
Although Kwanzaa is a African American holiday
…this principle of UNITY/UMOJA is sorely needed today in America….
Dare them
I think the reporters ought to scream back ‘fake president’.
It’s just the way it is ….
GA Dr. Bob.
The editorial from the Salt Lake Tribune got me to thinking (another rabbit hole, unfortunately 😦 ) about media ownership — which seems to following the greed trajectory of our current state of “democracy” — aka owned by those who already have 99% of this country’s wealth and wants to keep the status quo for their children at the expense of everyone else who *isn’t* related to themselves.
I don’t know the political leanings of Jeff Bezos and the Boston Globe owner, but it seems clear that Digital First Media is right-leaning (based on the locations of their news footprint):
So on to the current palace intrigue involving the grotesque monster currently occupying the WH, Orrin Hatch, our Ambassador to Russia, and R-money (#NoTermMitt):
more…
More speculation about R-money (#NoTermMitt) in the US Senate, and how he’s viewed by Russia.
(From Republican anti-Trumper:)
LOL.
LOL
His faith is so important. Most people who’s faith is important try their best not to lie. If you do someone wrong, most people apologize. Most people who’s faith is important to them try to be low and humble, most people who’s faith is important to them care about those who are hungry, poor, sick, in prison. Most people who faith is important to them are not sticking up for Nazis, KKK, White Supremacists.
Faith in lying, stealing, cheating, golfing, being a narcissist and all round empty human being. These people must really think their followers are dumb when their has been NO pictures of him going to church. The closet he got to doing anything religious was holding his hand on the Bible being sworn into office.
Bless his heart. Good luck!
GE Dr. Bob.
Just posted a reply to you upthread re: Salt Lake City Tribune editorial, but saw this:
Which reminded me a bit of what the LA (and SoCal, extending to Arizona) looked like 45 minutes after sunset last Friday night:

NeedToImpeach.com has really picked up speed. Going after the FBI and individual members of FBI leadership is a bridge too far for REAL AMERICANS.
