Chat away!
The Obama Diary 
You got that right. This Carpetbagger Senator from Arizona is a black eye for Arizona and the Nation.
Wow. I’m first. Morning LL, Chips and TOD.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Jackie! You hardly ever get the top spot! Congrats to you:) I bet this state is more progressive than their stupid politicians would indicate….
I think you are right, DF. How could anyone want to admit to being Republican or even admit to supporting John McCain right now?
I would bet that not many would admit to any of that right now….if we could get the Hispanic population registered and VOTING IN EVERY ELECTION…the tide would change around here in short order. Lots of old people here that vote Republican for their normal selfish reasons ( they already paid for THEIR kids to attend school, they are DONE now!) Education and GOTV is key here….I believe that in maybe a decade from now, AZ will be like California in that Republicans won’t be able to even THINK of controlling anything around here. People have to get informed and engaged in order for this to happen…otherwise, we will be last in everything that is important to a smart, growing, thriving state….and happy, did I mention happy? One of THE most important things to consider 🙂
I agee df. If McCain is not defeated by a DEM another Copper will teabag him with this pic of him with our enemies and always calling for a war somewhere.
That’s GOPPER
Congrats on 1st, Jackie!!
And, how can we forget the Georgia/Russia fiasco.
No chance forgetting that debacle, Jackie!!
Moooooooorning Jackie!!!
Morning Chips. Any news on the hair brush?
BREAKING: The original is still missing Jackie (looking at you Danny), but I found an old one, so I’m delicious again 😎
Then I should cancel the telethon to buy you a new one?
🙂 No, no, keep it going, I’ve always fancied a gold encrusted hairbrush!
I thought this was supposed to be about an urgent ‘need’ – so that you wouldn’t scare small children with your out of control locks. I’m beginning to suspect your motives…….
Well, it’s now an urgent need for a golden hairbrush – so get to work 57, $10,000 should do it.
Yes, ma’am.
ROFL!
Urgent need….right.
Have you been taking night classes from people with names like Walker, Christy, et.al ??
Congrats on 1st Jackie 4 Obama!
Wishing you a very BEAUTIFUL DAY-ENJOY!!!
Jackie 4 Obama – FIRST!!!!! YAY!!!!
Yay for Jackie!
furst.
The last shall be first, the first shall be last. The second placers are shit out of luck.
wimmin/smh
Who you calling “wimmin”? I’m a dood!
smh.
Thank you LL!!! Howling at the Pour Me Coffee tweet 🙂
You’re welcome, Chiparoo!
Leave the howling to Danny. Although that particular tweet is really sweet.
You should hear it when both of us are howling, it’s like the most beautiful symphony.
Good for McAuliffe and good for the people of Virginia!
I think he may be better than I thought.
Pleasantly surprised. I hope he continues along that path.
One can only hope, I imagine sometime next year he’ll be back at his old gig picking up envelopes for Don Clinton.
I am so proud of him. Keep vetoing it until Most Virginians get it.
Some redemption? Maybe…..
And the something that’s very, very wrong is that people keep voting for them, the media keeps promoting them, and nobody in their party calls them out for what they are. If people don’t like weirdness, they have to stop voting for it.
Yup, yup.
Bob, I’m betting that’s a very short ceasefire that’s possibly intended to demonstrate to the world who’s the aggressor and who isn’t. Can’t imagine that Putin would ever honor it–he’s beyond shame.
Yes, Jackie, agree with you!! The reason for my tweets is simply to inform President Poroshenko & PM Yatsenyuk that folk are paying attention and we know who the aggressor is. They’re definitely taking the ‘high road’!!
Lazy 🙂
Andrea Pirlo’s beard does more work in 10 minutes than most of us do in an entire day!
Sometimes I wonder if McCain’s old melanoma has come back and metastasized to his brain. Something is seriously wrong! The MSM must stop giving him a platform to spew his nonsense.
Him: How long can you keep a chicken in the freezer?
Her: Usually up to about 3 months, why?
Him: Well I put one in last night, and it was dead this morning.
Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
PETA will be right over….

Me too! LOL!!!
Oh. My. GOD! That is HILARIOUS.
Five men wrongfully convicted in the brutal 1989 rape of a jogger in New York’s Central Park have settled a lawsuit against the city for $40m (£24m), local media report.
The racially charged case shocked the city during some of its bleakest years.
The sum must still be approved by the city’s comptroller and a federal judge.
The men, teenagers when the crime was committed, served 7-13 years in prison before their exoneration in 2002 when evidence pointed to another man.

donald dumbf exploded yet?
Hi Todd,
Thank you all for calling that fool McAngry out. I hope it lasts all weekend.
Iwhich reminded me I saw the movie version last night of the father and son duo who were on a shooting spree in the D.C. area. And to my surprise McAngry’s name was mentioned trying to discredit the Chief of Police, Charles Woods(I believe) who was doing all he could to stop this madness. The press was not helping either and this old fool had to add his two cents.
He has been so wrong about so many things. He has been incompetent all of his life. Now,it has caught with him and it keeps getting worse
He is too republican to even care. He keeps trying to make history and history is showing who he really is. He is a fake!
I work in the prison system, doing time is not easy. I don’t think any amout of money can make a person whole.
Don, I understand what you are saying. I worked in the CJS as a Court Reporter.
The money make not make them whole, but may be it will help the racists DA, court officers, court clerks and “stop and frisk” politicians think twice about labeling, convicting, condemn and judging innocent children without their parents knowledge that they were being held for hours without food, water or bathroom breaks, threats of having their families’ benefits take away if they did not confess to a crime they did not commit.
Both Mayors Koch and Bloomberg and Donald Frump played a major part of justice being denied to these young men and their families for over a decade. It was divine intervention that solved this case. I have to believe that same divine intervention will being them PEACE toward becoming “whole”. The money is just a side order.
Snap out of it!! OMG…I was sitting here, minding my own business..when across my mind came the thought that the possibility exists for a two fer! Is it possible to take out Crispy Creme AND Walker at the same time?? DELICIOUS! Even better than Chips damn hairbrush delicious:) That’s what arrogant fools can do to themselves…such sweetness. There’s more of them put there….maybe 2014 will turn out just perfectly if we do what we need to do and vote. I might have a little drool on my shirt….
It is the most delicious morsel of news for the grand karma kickback. It will take time, but the DOJ and FBI are turning the screws slowly but surely. Couldn’t happen to a better couple of nice guys. LOLz.
The Feds turn the screws slowly, they will get you with a thousand cuts. And at the end you’ll be begging them to lower the boom.
Perfect.
At least with Walker he was trying to get some dough for a campaign. But Crispy Creme, that motherfucker was out doing some mob shit; shakedowns, funneling money, strong arming people. Christie has to go!
The feds will go after their own mothers, if they have to. They are relentless.
I see TWO orange jumpsuits being fitted….well maybe one orange tent.
costa rica scores. perfect. header
Welp, my best friend must be having a huge squee right now. Costa Rica just scored the first goal.
Going to be my home when I retire…I think so. Bar at the beach. Work barefoot. Talk to the monkeys and learn Spanish….I can dream.
And weren’t given a cast iron penalty just before!
So the terrorists group Isis released a video or picture of them hanging out with their buddy John McCain. That is the very reason why no one should pay McCain any attention.If POTUS had listen to McCain, he would have being arming Isis, that terrible terrorist group. John senile hothead McCain.
So ISIS dropped a vidoe, oh snap!
Maybe it was just the pictures, I’m not sure about the video.
That’s right Mr. President.
They deserve that everyday. Every. Damn. Day. Back to my chain saw…..
hf – I love the photo and the caption – PERFECT!
Gold for J4O ⭐
It is more than time for all of the political has beens and the want- to- have-beens to go far away from the public eye. Hanging on and trying to be relevant and failing miserably is so embarrassing. They suck up all of the air while they stand in the way of new, the young, the bright, the bold, and the strong. Their time is over. Furthermore, we cannot count on them to be the wise elders capable of wise council because they have been self-absorbed, conniving, empty-hearted people all of their lives. The world is changinging for the better and we do not need them here to drag us down any more
“Furthermore, we cannot count on them to be the wise elders capable of wise council because they have been self-absorbed, conniving, empty-hearted people all of their lives.”
What more needs to be said.
“Clink. Lights Out!”
CEB, THIS is absolutely the view I’m hoping more and more of us will catch on to, sooner rather than later!
‘They suck up all of the air while they stand in the way of new, the young, the bright, the bold, and the strong. Their time is over.’
And on this issue I feel this way about Dems as well as GOPs. Did you notice that PBO staffed his campaign with lots of young people?
Help TOD 😉
Any nickname for Josh Earnest? He will be going Solo as the WH Press Sec Momentarily starting his Schooling of the unruly WHPC on June 20th, 2014. I wish him well.

Paul Ryan and House Republicans Hyperventilate Over Imaginary Lost IRS Emails
http://www.politicususa.com/2014/06/20/republicans-hyperventilate-imaginary-lost-irs-emails-irs-commissioner-computer.html
oops
John Fugelsang on Stephanie Miller this morning, was bemoaning how Dem’s need to call out the GOP as out of step with the mainstream, and claim the mantel of REAL American values. This was in response to a gay caller who is deeply involved in his Methodist faith and how disappointed he is that Dem’s have not reclaimed the progressive Christian values and call out the evangelicals who have become the religion of hate.
This Greg Sargent article dovetails well:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2014/06/19/dems-to-gop-are-you-on-the-side-of-corporations-or-construction-workers/
Therein lies the problem, when you bring the word “Christian” into any discussion about politics and government there is no workable solution other than not bringing religion into any discussion about politics and government. Usually when the word Christian is used in politics it is used in conjunction with denying people the right to vote, denying people welfare when they need it, denying communities the help they need to serve their citizens. I was born and raised in the church, and I still don’t know if I’ve ever met a Christian.
It was a really interesting discussion on the radio, this morning. Growing up in the 60’s, progressive, social justice churches were so important to progress. I’m Jewish, and being progressive was a value taught in every synagogue that I knew. There was a nefarious move to conflate Religious and Conservative and it was Ronald Reagan who welcomed them with open arms. That faction was political, using religion as a club. And we let it happen. The churches then followed the politics.
Stephanie told the story of country music star Chelye Wright, who, when she came out, said she was gay and a Christian. Stephanie recalled Sean Hannity saying that you couldn’t be both.
How far we have come from those social justice priests who led civil rights marches in Milwaukee when I was growing up, and all the Jewish liberal kids fighting for rights on the college campuses.
I heard it too and agree. My neighbor and her girlfriend go to church every Sunday. The girlfriend works for a divinity school and is very active in the church.
Imagine how they feel – being made to feel that they are not Christian. Or any faith they choose to follow. How horrible.
TRUTH.
And all of the proclaim to be Christian I bet.
that goes w/o saying.
What those kind of christians don’t understand or get is that you don’t have to go around shouting that you are a christian, you let what you do for others, how you treat others, do the speaking.
Gee…how surprising! Wonder why??

At Faith & Freedom conference, Chris Christie’s executive actions are strong leadership. Obama’s are imperial and arrogant
WASHINGTON — House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) sent a letter to President Barack Obama on Friday blaming him for the humanitarian crisis of unaccompanied minors crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, and calling for National Guard troops to go to the border to address the surge.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/20/john-boehner-border_n_5515252.html
It is a ” strongly worded letter “…..
Yes…my congressman swears that HE was the one that sent this letter to PBO! They all have their talking points and shamefully use this humanitarian crisis to bash the President and fund raise off of (True…Jan Brewer comes to mind, there are probably others) Republicans never care about children of any sort so its rather amusing (if it wasn’t so sad) that they exploit this too.
They need some facts. http://americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/news/2014/06/18/92056/5-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-unaccompanied-minors-crisis/
As attention on this issue shifts from the nation’s southern border to inside the Beltway, it’s important to keep the following five facts in mind.
1. Violence is causing these children to flee
2. Smugglers and traffickers prey on these children, who are increasingly younger and female
3. This is a regional crisis
4. There are no free passes into the United States as unaccompanied minors can be deported
5. Some in Congress are playing politics with a humanitarian issue
Great article that should be sent to every single one of these RW complainers…
If POTUS received a letter like that from Boehner, I think POTUS knows where the trash goes.
I hope PBO pick up the phone and tell him what he can do with that letter, e.g. pass immigration law.
Wow, bus on fire in London, don’t know what happened:
http://twitter.com/_jonathanmckee/status/480039498676715521
“Twitter users sparked chaos by suggesting the bus fire was an explosion, but it became apparent the blaze was caused by an engine fault.
The fire was under control by 8pm after fire fighters battled with the flames.
Police confirmed there have been no arrests and no criminal activity is suspected, with the cause of the fire believed to be a mechanical fault.”

Chips, I’m not sure if these two issues are related but the above info is the only report I can find for London, today. From the photos I think they may be separate events.
Ah, thanks Bob, I just saw the tweet and was freaked, lots of tweets suggesting it was a bomb. The dangers of Twitter 🙄
FAITH AND FREEDOM, Baby!! http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/obama-urinal-faith-and-freedom-conference
They can not sink any lower and be any more disrespectful of an American President. America needs to say ENOUGH and realize that if they would treat a President like this, they would treat ordinary Americans they didn’t like. disagreed with…just as badly and worse. Get a fucking clue, America! They are just not that into you!!
What a bunch of low class freaks.
Faith And Freedom Conference Features Obama Urinal Cakes
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/obama-urinal-faith-and-freedom-conference
Hi Linda,
Happy Friday to you!
Sadly, ignorance has no boundaries; should be named “Imbeciles Conference.
” Upside, they have a guaranteed date with “KARMA.”
Half these assholes imagine President Obama “packing,” anyway. Some of them probably lay awake at night mumbling “this fucking guy with his nine inch cock, who the fuck does he think he is.” So these detestable urinal cakes aren’t really shocking at all.
These people are not christians. A real christian would not even think of something like that, it is what you would get from a racists person feel with hate. Not someone fill with the love of Jesus.
The sad part is these dolts call themselves christians….they are so far from Christ like.
Good! This is an economic issue, too

How magnanimous of Lil Rand Paul. MTP, again? Sheesh.
http://www.mediaite.com/tv/rand-paul-i-dont-blame-obama-for-crisis-in-iraq/
“I think the same questions could be asked of those who supported the Iraq War,” Paul answered. “You know, were they right in their predictions? Were there weapons of mass destruction there? That’s what the war was sold on. Was democracy easily achievable? Was the war won in 2005, when many of these people said it was won? They didn’t really, I think, understand the civil war that would break out.”
He went on to say he doesn’t “blame” Obama for the current crisis in Iraq. “And what’s going on now — I don’t blame on President Obama,” he said. “Has he really got the solution? Maybe there is no solution. But I do blame the Iraq War on the chaos that is in the Middle East. I also blame those who are for the Iraq War for emboldening Iran. These are the same people now who are petrified of what Iran may become, and I understand some of their worry.”
No asshole, there were no weapons, and yes they did lie us into a war.

Russian Foreign Ministry Does Not Recognize Ukrainian Border
http://pressimus.com/Interpreter_Mag/press/3145
Fantastic posts today!! Crazy busy but wanted to stop by and say hello and share something that happened this morning. A woman come in to my office who was in an auto accident. Her auto insurance med pay is now maxed out and she can’t continue with her physical therapy. I told her that she could submit the appointments to her health insurance and that we would pay the insurance co. from the settlement.
Well it turns out she doesn’t have insurance. She explained to me that she is self employed and can’t afford it. I asked her if she had applied for insurance through healthcare.gov and she told me that she didn’t even bother after hearing how bad it is and how expensive. She didn’t know anything about the subsidies, didn’t know about no exclusions for pre-existing conditions. Yes, she watches Fox. I stay away from political at work but I did tell her how the subsidies work and that it is really affordable. One of the women in the office piped in that she and her husband only pay $54 per month and my client was shocked. As it is now, she is distraught and scared and facing a health crisis without insurance.
We will probably work out something with her providers but wow–this is not the only time this has happened in my little office. Every time it is just heartbreaking that politicians and pundits lie causing terrible consequences.
