Dear @realDonaldTrump: In case you missed it, Michael Cohen IS GOING TO PRISON for the illegal hush money campaign payments. If you wrote those checks, that means you are what prosecutors would call a CO-CONSPIRATOR.
That's not fake news, it's the law. https://t.co/kokD6qnfWP
Thank you Nerdy Wonka here is tbmtngirls’s response.
@Marilyn Jackson Oliver, NW replied to you. (Then shortly after, put up a new thread.) Anyway, when you read it, except for checking the cookies and cache (which I have NO idea how to do), I’ve done everything else. Sent two messages to the address she gives and, of course, sent her two messages on Twitter. My laptop is Chrome so the internet I use on it is Google (Chrome). iPhone and iPad, I use Safari. I explained all that in my messages to her and to the help desk. It doesn’t make sense that I can’t login on ANY of them. Can you respond to her on this new thread? Thanks!!!
I found a roundabout way in that I had not done before. There were several logos under the post on the right side before and I touched the W for word press and logged in that way when touching post did not get me to the log in page. I am on an iPad. I see that once you are logged in the choices under the post box disappear. I do not just randomly touch things as I have done that before and had everything disappear. I think it is a generational fear thing my grandchildren and even children do not have due to growing up with technology.
Hi OG, that is exactly what I finally figured out I needed to do when I wanted to log in. And I have stayed logged in, which was not normal before for me. Great!
I hope this helps those out there who are having trouble logging in as it has been very quiet at TOD for the last few days. We miss you DF and TerriD and others.
JUST IN: Sen. Sherrod Brown says he will not run for president in 2020:
"I will do everything I can to elect a Democratic President and a Democratic Senate in 2020. The best place for me to make that fight is in the United States Senate."
Nerdy Wonka. I just heard from Desertflower too about her problems. Here is her message
Hey, Marilyn!! It’s aka desertflower..I am having a terrible time getting out of moderation on TOD! I wasn’t able to login and had to change all my info… can’t remember my original desertflower sign in because I’ve been on TOD since 2008 and have no idea anymore!!! I had to change my name to marleysperson and now TOD doesn’t recognize me anymore. I have no idea if anyone can see what I post and all my stuff is in moderation. I’ve asked Nerdy, BEGGED her to get me out… even emailed. Nothing. I see others have had trouble too. Any ideas? I could use some help getting her attention with this.
Hope all is well with you..hope spring is around the corner:) let me know what you think about my TOD dilemma:)
Ask how to find your “system preferences” and uncross the box “Block All Cookies”. Now the box is empty.
Go to TOD and type ‘test’.
Then press ‘Post Comment’.
Press the W for WordPress on the bottom right.
Type in your email or TOD name. Type the secret sauce password.

Ask her to google how to clear your cache on Chrome and it will walk her through the steps. She can also google how to unblock cookies on Chrome and it should walk her through the steps as well.
Also for everyone else, when you visit http://www.theobamadiary.com and click on a post, you should scroll down to the bottom and where it states ‘Leave A Reply’ click on that and you will see three logos: One for WordPress, One that is a bird (Twitter), and an f (Facebook).

Yes, I log in via Twitter as I’ve been doing for years.
Every time I attempt to post a comment or reply I’m forced to log out of Twitter and log in again - as described in previous comments.
I explained, in great detail to whomever WordPress has contract managing their blog service. The responses I received were incredulously stupid. They demonstrated no capacity to even read and kept asking for what amounted to my having to repeat precisely the sequence of events and that this bug is recent - as of ~ 3 weeks ago.
So, I gave up and will just continue logging out and logging to post - as i’m about to do now.
None of this has anything to do with you and it is truly regrettable you have to be bothered with these hassles given how dedicated you are to maintaining TOD.

Judge tells the courtroom that Manafort is not being sentenced for anything related to the Special Counsel's investigation into Russian interference.
Ellis said "He is not before the court for anything having to do with colluding with the Russian government”
— Shimon Prokupecz (@ShimonPro) March 7, 2025
As a reminder: Manafort is looking at between 19-25 years in federal prison. This is just for his Virginia case. He still faces sentencing in his DC case. The DC case judge is Amy Berman Jackson, who is also handling #RogerStone’s case.
Cloture: We all know McConnell’s pet obstructionist tactic for breaking a filibuster. Between 1917 and 2013: “nearly 3 in 10 of all cloture motions…were filed during McConnell’s tenure as Minority Leader”. McConnell: “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president….We have a new president with an approval rating in the 70 percent area”. (uh-oh)
His strategic response to such a massively popular President was to block PBO’s every possible accomplishment = GOP does nothing bipartisan.
Blocking Garland, according to McConnell, was the most consequential decision “of his entire career”.
McConnell risked our presidential election (assuming he didn’t know the outcome) and risked United States National Security by blocking the timely public reporting of proven Russian meddling. How is he still walking around free?
-No limits to what McConnell will do now or later as he is owned by Koch Oil and Putin.
“If a Democrat wins the White House in 2020, but Republicans retain the Senate, McConnell could be even more aggressive. He could refuse to confirm any judicial nominee named by the new president. Or even refuse to confirm any of the new president’s executive branch officials. Thanks to the Supreme Court’s decision in NLRB v. Noel Canning, moreover, McConnell could also prevent the president from naming recess appointees to fill Cabinet jobs.”
https://thinkprogress.org/democrats-need-senators-not-presidential-candidates-475923f5e4ea/
-Great article explaining “The Senate Time Bomb”. And why some of our great candidates must run & win the Senate before the American sands of time run out.
And we can all work our butts off to deny McConnell being reelected to the Senate, since his term is up in 2020. Even if we win the Senate in 2020, and do not deny him reelection, he will still be there as Minority Leader, which means, I’m sure, he will figure out multiple ways to cause problems for Democrats. Listen to The Daily talk about him and his background and what motivates him. Very informative of what and who we are dealing with. (30min)

I stay logged in and for some reason I got kicked off and was made to login again. It will not let me use my desertflower name because it says that that name is already taken. Surprise! It’s me! I have no idea what my password for that screen name is because it’s been mine since 2008 and I forgot it. Now I’m having to provide a new name to WP so that I can comment and I can’t be seen here because I’m in moderation all the time and never get taken off. Can we please fix this?
Thank you for all this in information NW. Here is the message I got from tnmtngirl.
I’m back. We tried clearing the cookies from TOD. Didn’t change a thing. Here’s what is happening as plainly as I can make it. I click on the ‘W’ for Word Press. I put in my username, tnmtngirl, click Continue and put in my password. I get “Oops, incorrect password.” So, I got back and use my email, click Continue and it says, “User does not exist.” In trying everything I can think of, one time I asked for a new password BUT it’s not possible for me to be sent on because WP isn’t recognizing my email address. When I joined TOD, I had a bellsouth address. It took awhile for Chips to make the change for me. (I couldn’t login until she did.) I think it is something from WP because never before have we had to click on the W (or Twitter or Facebook). Before there were three things in a form right below the comment box. Email, user name and The Obama Diary. Enter those things and click Post Comment and it was done. Usually, we just always stayed signed in. This all began about a month or 5 weeks ago. That’s when various people began complaining.
The RNC holding their Spring Retreat at Mar-a-Lago is a great way for Republican donors to circumvent campaign finance law and put money in the pocket of the President of the United States while they bend his ear on policy issues.

Apple CEO Tim Cook made light of Donald Trump’s guffaw where the President referred to the tech tycoon as “Tim Apple” by changing his Twitter handle to his first name, followed by an image of an apple. https://t.co/cZHYKZ3Ki3
Seriously?!?!? “Has lived an otherwise blameless life”???? So, if I remember correctly this dude is being sentenced next week in another case of serious wrong doing. Right? Was this judge put on the bench by McConnell or something? Gah!!
Blameless life? Only because he was not caught earlier sorta like Trump skating away from all his crimes most of his life. I hope next week’s judge sentences Manafort more strictly and the sentence is added to his present sentence so he is not able to serve both sentences at the same time. And I hope Trump does not win another term and instead serves time for his crimes in jail. What I really wish is that the clock could be turned back on all of Trump’s executive actions and decisions. Mitch McConnell’s judge appointments and not allowing PBO to make his own appointments seems like a crime to our nation to me.
Judge Ellis’s assessment that Manafort led an “otherwise blameless life” was proof that he’s unfit to serve on the federal bench. I’ve rarely been more disgusted by a judge’s transparently preferential treatment to a rich white guy who betrayed the law and the nation.
yup. i had been threatened w/ 27 years for filing a false affidavit + other actions trying desperately to keep an affair private. https://t.co/hiwBur2Hll
I like @RonaldKlain’s aside that 47 months seems a pretty light sentence for a guy who sentenced America to 48 months of Donald Trump . . .

Irrespective of the total failure of Ellis to uphold justice, Manafort has nothing but jail in front of him because besides his sentencing next week, a bunch of folk are waiting in the wings to keep filing charges and arresting him.
Judge Ellis-Trump-Putin: Walk on air! tell me what is the backstory.
And I think, i think of all those still in jail, still in jail, the lives all those lives. still in jail for nowt.

Cohen said the last time he spoke to Trump was "within 2 months" of the April FBI raid—and that the conversation is “actually something that's being investigated right now by the Southern District of New York.” Meanwhile, Trump just admitted to speaking to Cohen about pardons.

I’m back. We tried clearing the cookies from TOD. Didn’t change a thing. Here’s what is happening as plainly as I can make it. I click on the ‘W’ for Word Press. I put in my username, tnmtngirl, click Continue and put in my password. I get “Oops, incorrect password.” So, I got back and use my email, click Continue and it says, “User does not exist.” In trying everything I can think of, one time I asked for a new password BUT it’s not possible for me to be sent on because WP isn’t recognizing my email address. When I joined TOD, I had a bellsouth address. It took awhile for Chips to make the change for me. (I couldn’t login until she did.) I think it is something from WP because never before have we had to click on the W (or Twitter or Facebook). Before there were three things in a form right below the comment box. Email, user name and The Obama Diary. Enter those things and click Post Comment and it was done. Usually, we just always stayed signed in. This all began about a month or 5 weeks ago. That’s when various people began complaining.
This is CEB. I am having similar problems. My new wordpress logon is lmcae72. Can I be added to the list to log on to TOD under this name?
Just checking before I run errands to see if I can still post after finally stumbling upon it earlier today. Nerdy Wonka described what I had accidentally discovered earlier.
Our Dear Leader did it again!
When Karma calls, you always end up saying PRESENT!
From the mouth of a wanderer…
Paul Manafort gets four years, that’s the justice system for the white man. That judge is a disgrace.
rich white man privilege
not shock at all.
What a disgrace!
UGH, I’m sickened.
Seriously?!?!? “Has lived an otherwise blameless life”???? So, if I remember correctly this dude is being sentenced next week in another case of serious wrong doing. Right? Was this judge put on the bench by McConnell or something? Gah!!
He’s a Reagan appointee, one who has spoken forcefully against Special Prosecutors. He’s trash.
Manafort is a lifelong stone cold criminal thug through and through, a brazen thief on the global circuit. This is without question a travesty.
That judge might as well been sitting up there with his MAGA Putin’s hat.
Blameless life? Only because he was not caught earlier sorta like Trump skating away from all his crimes most of his life. I hope next week’s judge sentences Manafort more strictly and the sentence is added to his present sentence so he is not able to serve both sentences at the same time. And I hope Trump does not win another term and instead serves time for his crimes in jail. What I really wish is that the clock could be turned back on all of Trump’s executive actions and decisions. Mitch McConnell’s judge appointments and not allowing PBO to make his own appointments seems like a crime to our nation to me.
WP and moderation. You have to do this on your end, Nerdy. Thanks

NW, thanks a lot for the guidance and all that you do for us everyday.
Irrespective of the total failure of Ellis to uphold justice, Manafort has nothing but jail in front of him because besides his sentencing next week, a bunch of folk are waiting in the wings to keep filing charges and arresting him.
There is that. But this is just so unfair.
Yes, totally unfair, and another thorn in the side of POC’s and those of lesser means that the system is rigged against them.
Judge Ellis-Trump-Putin: Walk on air! tell me what is the backstory.
And I think, i think of all those still in jail, still in jail, the lives all those lives. still in jail for nowt.

“When the nation is at peace, men of talent are respected. When the family is well off, the children maintain their status”.
-This one rests its case right here, with deep thx.
Some truth telling

Happy International Womens Day
Crew Dragon has come home from the Space Station!

Moved beyond words.
yesssssss….RightON!
GEEZE
Nice start to our day. Amazing that the predicted splashdown was precisely on target time wise. Good morning!
WOW ….
And, don’t miss this little factoid ….
Donnie is soooo stupid it’s obvious that the only reason he has any oxygen at all is because of the hate windstorm that is the modern WHITE Supremacist @GOP.
Roger that ….
Love Swalwell’s reply! Thanks Bobfr.
It was only a matter of time before some of the so called Far Left freshman congress people…would decide to bash President Obama…there must be a playbook written somewhere..
altho Omar has a compelling story…she seems determine to rable rouse….taking attention away from the core mission of the Democrats in the House…not sure what is her game…today an article appeared in Politico in which she bashed Pres Obama..saying that Trump and Pres Obama were the same…smh….
This is how a lot of these younguns think nowadays, and they use social media as their life line- no research, no governmental knowledge, or appreciation of world history. Just feelings. Like I said over at POU, she wouldn’t know how to get out of a wet suit, less alone a war. Too many people DO NOT belong in government, and with these types, we’d better be afraid of the future.
Testing once again. Please get me out of moderation. This is CEB logging in under another name.
For those who had to create new usernames, I believe I’ve gotten you all out of moderation.
I made my Twitter DM’s open to all, which means anyone can DM me or have someone else DM me on their behalf if you are experiencing moderation issues.
Still working with WordPress to get this figured out.
Thanks for your patience.
Thanks so very much, NW. I felt so bad bothering you! Also wondered if WP was trying to mess w/ traffic to TOD. It was weird. Always appreciate your fab work! ❤
New post.
