Incessant, and totally unconfirmed, reports that Yanukovych has died of ‘heart attack.’ Would pay zero attention to it until reputable sources – like the US State Department – confirm it.
Don’t know why they are here – reality is most US sportsmen want to play in the US – Olympics sometimes excluded
Way too much money in sport – in my humble opinion
I pray it stays that way. Good night everyone and sweet dreams.
P.S.
LL, Bobfr, Nerdy Wonka, Chipsticks, Jacquelineoboomer, tweeters and all, thank you for the updates. Tomorrow night, I will not walk in and turn on the TV. I will tune in to TOD’s Place “1st”, it’s safe : ) and will keep my pressure in tact.
Hey Bob, I hope you had a wonderful dinner! I cannot begin to express how deeply grateful I am to you, and LL, for keeping us informed on Ukraine. I also appreciate the fact that you always warn us not to take everything we read as fact/truth.
I see a number of people in my TL who are getting as pissed off about those in media and gop who are criticizing PBO about Ukraine as we are here;
our job as usual should continue to be: pushing back on the blatant lies (of omission or commission), innuendo, while at the same time promoting PBO’s policy position & agenda
some of the people who are not impressed by the parade of gop/media liars & back-stabbers include:
Think about it The guys who are telling us were doing it all wrong elected George Bush . Shouldnt credibility matter ? #tlot#maddow
Goodnight, TOD. Thank you all. Try to rest, we are in this together. HZ, candies will be lit for your well-being tomorrow, Angels all around you. God bless our beloved President Obama and his family.
I recall Chips and NW made the story about shining a light on President Obama, and this person made it about herself. That’s all we really need to know about the difference between TOD’s interests and her “personal story”!
Me to JOB. I was so mad I almost went after her but decided if she still didn’t understand what happened she is too stupid to engage. So I blocked her too.
Agree! Almost wrote back something like “you’re not over that, yet?” but she is not worth it. Plus, she’s looking for the attention – which she won’t get from us!
It’s a great read susanne – and the true story seems to be floating through the media at the minute – Putin is trying to pull one big bluff – and economically he can’t keep it up – and militarily – if the west decided to confront him – he is also undone.
Putin’s talk of the anti-constitutional coup – is somewhat similar to Bush’s WMD – but that ship sailed 10 years ago & folks are more disbelieving now – which of course they should have been when Bush opened his mouth.
terrifying is not the word anyone sane is using about Putin’s words. Look at the twitter you have quoted – full of anti PBO statements, anti gay marriage, and pro Palin
And if that person is in your twitter feed I would delete her fast – a first rate RWNJ.
Putin doesn’t believe what he said – GWB via Colin Powell also said much garbage at the UN – when someone else wants to invade another country, making up lies to tell the UN and his own people – there is a precedent – sadly.
Imagine that – the man who acts then thinks – maybe made a mistake and is looking for a way out. The man who thinks before he acts – and ignores the RWNJ fools who attack from within his own country – is getting it right.
US Ambassador To The UN Samantha Power Just Ripped Into Russia At A Security Council Meeting

——————————————-
Let’s begin with a clear and candid assessment of the facts.
It is a fact that Russian military forces have taken over Ukrainian border posts. It is a fact that Russia has taken over the ferry terminal in Kerch. It is a fact that Russian ships are moving in and around Sevastapol. It is a fact that Russian forces are blocking mobile telephone services in some areas. It is a fact that Russia has surrounded or taken over practically all Ukrainian military facilities in Crimea. It is a fact that today Russian jets entered Ukrainian airspace. It is also a fact that independent journalists continue to report that there is no evidence of violence against Russian or pro-Russian communities.
Russian military action is not a human rights protection mission. It is a violation of international law and a violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the independent nation of Ukraine, and a breach of Russia’s Helsinki Commitments and its UN obligations.

Hi LL,
Thank you for the post…..
Funny thing…..theses gorgeous views brought my pressure down after screaming at the repukes for throwing America under the bus for Putin poop.
I felt we needed something calming.
Lovely pictures, LL. Calming is good, for sure!
Thanks, LL:) Looks better from space…..
Hi desertflower,
Thank you for sharing…..
This is absolutely STUNNING!
Hi, Cin….they are all so relaxing to see…..

Hey vcprezofan2,
I would push you and tell you to wake up, but I know you are keeping it real ; – )
Hey, I could see my house on the one of Chicago.
Great maps! (You know I love maps.)
Here’s something for ya:
And not to forget, gravity took what?5 years while the indian mars mission was done in a year. Fantasy vs reality.
On another topic – why do folks believe all that is said by Stepien and his lawyer the truth – any wild idea in a coverup
Thank you jacquelineoboomer!
Beautifully stated…..
Just following your lead tonight in getting out the message, Cindy!
Incessant, and totally unconfirmed, reports that Yanukovych has died of ‘heart attack.’ Would pay zero attention to it until reputable sources – like the US State Department – confirm it.
Yes, we’ll wait to hear. First thing I thought of was “poison.”
He had a heart?
Probably had a framed one made of rubies in the palace from whence he fled.
could this also be diversion (hide him from future prosecution by claiming demise) ?
A little levity…….
Oh my god!!! Poor man. And yet, funny.
I couldn’t pass up posting that, LL 😎
Excellent! (Well, I say that because I wasn’t that poor man!)
Oh crap! Not funny…but funny:) I feel guilty for laughing at this one!
I had the same thoughts until he laughed at himself, and took a shot at Christie!
He does have a good sense of humor …. but, wow, that must have hurt!!!
The man is a beast….. Wasn’t fazed one bit!!!!!!!!
🙂

That’s the spirit, Ukraine!!!!

Falling asleep in front of the keyboard! 😯 G’Night and sweet dreams.
I’ll be a home soon.
Night, vc…headed that way myself soon….
BBC: “Deadline” has passed without incident.
so he was bs’ing?
An analyst on about an hour ago said he thought that if there’d been any ultimatum given, it was a local commander acting without higher authority.
Thank goodness,
I pray it stays that way. Good night everyone and sweet dreams.

Hey Bob, I hope you had a wonderful dinner! I cannot begin to express how deeply grateful I am to you, and LL, for keeping us informed on Ukraine. I also appreciate the fact that you always warn us not to take everything we read as fact/truth.
Thank you, nath. Very enjoyable dinner. Just wanted to check in for a moment. Back after I do the dishes 🙂
Hope you’re having a fine evening.
And, yes, it is so important for all of us to double, triple, quadruple …. check everything!!

But of course, Pooty is NOT playing chess.
Ok people, I’m pooped. See everyone on the flip side.
You need and deserve the rest! Thanks for all your wonderful posts today and yesterday!

“American fourth estate = Fifth columnists.”
Amk, as always, you spoke the absolute TRUTH!
I had a Biology class tonight, but did anyone post this…… The ironies of these two going at it are endless!
earlier this evening, someone posted the exchange at the top but not the one at the bottom;
the back and forth between these two is interesting – to say the least!
Linda, wanted to thank you for your support of Ambassador Power!!
#FORWARD Together
thanks;
we all do what little we can to support a brilliant UN Ambassador
Goodnight, TOD. Thank you all. Try to rest, we are in this together. HZ, candies will be lit for your well-being tomorrow, Angels all around you. God bless our beloved President Obama and his family.
Amen.
Oh, gag, this crazy loon is still not over this and I fell into her trap by not remembering her name! Quickly blocked her.
Poor Ms Peggy – she still doesn’t understand the internet – and the compliment she was paid – sad loon.
I recall Chips and NW made the story about shining a light on President Obama, and this person made it about herself. That’s all we really need to know about the difference between TOD’s interests and her “personal story”!
Me to JOB. I was so mad I almost went after her but decided if she still didn’t understand what happened she is too stupid to engage. So I blocked her too.

The power of people committed to freedom + the access to the Internet is the transformational opportunity for all of humanity to seize and nurture.
YES WE MUST
I have no idea what the status quo will be when I wake up tomorrow, but I doubt this courageous women will be back on state owned RT
And it looks like President Obama, called Putin’s bluff:

Caveat:
Yep!!
A very courageous, skillful Ukrainian officer …
the anchor will probably have no job
Brilliant!!!!!!
Ha. (Been carrying that random thought around all day, and thought I’d drop it on Twitter!)
Well, on that nice note, I’m outta here for the evening. Sweet dreams when you get there, Bobfr!
Thank you, Jacqueline. Will need to get some rest soon or there will be no reason to go to bed 🙂
Bobfr – Hope you got your rest! And I know what you mean about stretching the day so long, you ask yourself why bother sleeping now? 🙂
Meanwhile, Mardi Gras:

morning everyone!
yesterday, Bobfr and others here who watched the UN proceedings pointed out the crazy behavior and speech by the Russian UN representative;
well, based on this BBC report, the same crazy talk is the official line of the russian government & comes straight from arrogant putin himself;
terrifying is not the word anyone sane is using about Putin’s words. Look at the twitter you have quoted – full of anti PBO statements, anti gay marriage, and pro Palin
putin’s presser is only “terrifying” if you consider that he and the people around him believe the garbage he just said now & yesterday at the UN
And if that person is in your twitter feed I would delete her fast – a first rate RWNJ.
Putin doesn’t believe what he said – GWB via Colin Powell also said much garbage at the UN – when someone else wants to invade another country, making up lies to tell the UN and his own people – there is a precedent – sadly.
clearly, putin did not think through the consequences of his actions and is now surprised by the reaction of Ukraine and others;
garbage from putin’s presser shows he is looking for a way out of the mess he created ;
;
I tend to be thinking along the same lines as this person =>
Imagine that – the man who acts then thinks – maybe made a mistake and is looking for a way out. The man who thinks before he acts – and ignores the RWNJ fools who attack from within his own country – is getting it right.
Good Morning.
Here is the clip I mentioned yesterday when Christian Armanpour went after Blitzer and Stephen Cohen….Wolf gets all defensive..Katrina’s hubby laughs
