LOL – you have all the right answers 🙂 got to go out – contemplating leaving the family for a year or three – but one never does – excluding GOP male politicians
“contemplating leaving the family for a year or three…..”
When I rule the world, 99ts, there will be no families, everyone will have to live on their own, that way there will be permanent peace and harmony 🙂
Thanks for that helping hand! Would have been even more helpful if you had come and dragged me up earlier by sticking your hand through the inter webs!!! I knocked things way across the cricket field in the wee hours of the morning by clicking buttons right, left and centre in an effort to spruce up my system.
🙂 🙂 🙂 Life’s good…..and I’m never going to try to speed up/tidy up my computer late at night ever again! At least not until I forget this incident….. and the previous time (when I was only trying to remove cookies and removed peanut butter and cheese too)!
After a trip to my new trusty computer repair guy, and with the exchange of a bit of cash – not a lot. I’m also now on Chrome, where before I was a Firefox junkie.
I’ve obviously missed the entire day – have we gotten any kind of an update on Rikyrah yet? It’s shortly after that tweet that I killed my TOD & twitter connection.
HI Vicky! There was an update on the last thread, I believe, from Rikyrah. She ‘s home from the hospital. They told her she was there due to stress. Has to go to her doctor’s tomorrow.
Thank you, TD! 😀 You can imagine me tearing my hair out when I realized I had messed things up pretending that I knew what I was doing. Very frustrating!
Every pundit in the US blames the President for anything that happens on the planet. I’m waiting to hear them blame him because the moon has phases or because mars looks red. How they have wasted what could have been the rise of the US to real exceptionalism during the past 6 years. I truly weep.
MSM/GOP and the AIPAC lobby are going all in on attempting to smear PBO. First they claim PBO doesn’t love America. It is hard for me to respond to such childish, stupid bullshit, but somehow the media is treating it as a serious question, Would be nice to have those soul-less enough to ask such a stupid question to give evidence of their love of America (White skin does not count). Now, for reasons I cannot comprehend, the issue is PBO’s Christianity. For starters, I cannot think of another situation when a sitting two term President has had his religion questioned. In fact, I don’t remember anybody being questioned or doubted about their professed faith. GWB lied this country into war, ordered the torture of people and was responsible for the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians (all things that Jesus would not do), did the media ever question his Christianity? Did the media cover Mitt Romney’s Mormon faith during his run for the Presidency? What makes this so freaking weird is the fact that the folks questioning PBO’s Christianity and patriotism are among the least Christian or patriotic people around. The GOP, with an assist by the msm, are repeatedly engaging in hostage taking that puts the country in real danger, yet their patriotism is never questioned. The GOP with its worship of money and hatred for the poor is the embodiment of the exact opposite of Christ’s teachings, but their Christianity is never questioned. In addition, I hear this Bibi guy is not Christian, so why should we listen to him. Kidding aside, I know all this nonsense is designed to sully PBO in an attempt to raise doubts about PBO being on “our side” as he negotiates with Iran. It won’t work (outside the Washington bubble), but this foolishness is really tiring.
A Louisiana man who was coming home to check on his children on Saturday night accidentally shot and killed the 13-year-old boy who was babysitting them, The Advocate newspaper reported on Monday.
Adonis Forbes, 25, was planning to stop at home briefly before heading back out for the evening, Baton Rouge police spokesman Cpl. L’Jean McKneely told the paper. But while there, he attempted to fix his gun and ended up accidentally firing it, McKneely said.
The shot struck the babysitter, Murrain Hawkins, in the abdomen, according to McKneely. The paper said when police arrived they found Forbes trying to care for Hawkins.
The teen was pronounced dead after being taken to a local hospital.
Forbes was reportedly charged with negligent homicide.
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An Idaho lawmaker received a brief lesson on female anatomy after asking if a woman can swallow a small camera for doctors to conduct a remote gynecological exam.
The question Monday from Republican Rep. Vito Barbieri came as the House State Affairs Committee heard nearly three hours of testimony on a bill that would ban doctors from prescribing abortion-inducing medication through telemedicine.
Dr. Julie Madsen was testifying in opposition to the bill when Barbieri asked the question. Madsen replied that would be impossible because swallowed pills do not end up in the vagina.
The committee approved the bill 13-4 on a party-line vote. Barbieri, who sits on the board of a crisis pregnancy center in northern Idaho, voted in favor of the legislation.
“Dr. Julie Madsen was testifying in opposition to the bill when Barbieri asked the question. Madsen replied that would be impossible because swallowed pills do not end up in the vagina.”
As someone mentioned earlier on TOD, I would love for PBO/SOS Kerry to announce a Deal the same day that Nut n Yahoo is scheduled to give his propaganda talk to congress.
That would be beyond great for so many reasons including sadly, the need to stop the disgusting Boehner gambit. The body language in all the photos looks energetic and open. I know pictures can be deceiving but I’m thinking positive!!
HF, that would be absolutely magnificent! By the way, it won’t be just “PBO/SOS Kerry and the U.S.; rathe,r it would also be the UN. Europe, Russia and China signing on on the nuclear deal with Iran. As far as I am concerned, Bibi Netanyahu is hurting the interests of the Israeli people.
She called the place that was supposedly hiring her. The administrator said, “Yes, we did get your fingerprints, but someone else’s came in first, so we hired her.”
And the missus was concerned about screwing THEM over by continuing to look for offers. So, she’s going to get in touch again with her friend who is a nurse in a facility in Long Beach and schedule a time to go down there.
LL – that company is showing you (and the missus) it’s true color (which is a RED FLAG)! As frustrating as it might be, the missus might very well be better off working elsewhere. Fingers crossed that she gets something soon!
This lil’ boy puppet is just regurgitating crap from some very manipulative and vindictive adults around him…sadly, when he’s 30, and PBO is being LIONIZED by the history books and pretty much everyone else, his only recourse will be “well I was 12, and didn’t know what the hell I was talking about.”
I read about this little punk, I shouldn’t said that, I read about the 12 year old this morning. What the hell do he know about somebody being weak, listening to the family. Sound just like right wing bull sh!t. If Obama were so dam weak on ISIS and Terrorism then why haven’t his ass got blown to pieces. Excuse my english please.
I love my Senator! She is smart, feisty, courageous, and cares deeply about serving all the people. Along with SPEAKER Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Barbara Boxer has been one of the strongest supporters of President Obama. I wish we had more Democrats like these strong Californian women.
So it looks like McConnell might try and pass a clean DHS funding bill but is snow saying he’ll also file a bill to prevent funding PBO’s Executive Order on immigration. But didn’t POTUS think ahead about all that and make the order self-funding? Or am I completely confused about this?
“This agency is entirely self-funded through the fees it collects on various immigration applications,” the committee said in a statement. “Congress does not appropriate funds for any of its operations, including the issuance of immigration status or work permits, with the exception of the ‘E-Verify’ program. Therefore, the appropriations process cannot be used to ‘defund’ the agency.”
Maybe McConnell does not want his stupid party legislators knowing that until after they pass the clean bill. Or maybe McConnell can be counted with the stupid group.
Great explanation,Donna. This is how I also understood it. McConnell is playing a Kabuki game. He doesn’t have the courage to tell the tea bagger crowd that there is no way really to stop the President’s executive orders on immigration. So he has to play the thing out in this game of political theatre.
Good to see you, too! I get a little more time to log on to TOD over the weekends, so I’ll be sure to say hello more often! Hope you’re keeping warm! 🙂
Only the Republicans can talk about love of country, fighting terrorists, fighting ISIS and talk about not funding Homeland Security. Possibly putting the country in danger.
BWD alerts us that Sen. Feinstein and Sen. Durbin are arranging for a meeting with Bibi and the dems when he is in US.
TRAITORS!
The better move was to ask Netanyahu to reschedule or postpone his speech.

Yesbe. Afternoon Japa!!
Good afternoon, young lady (shut up amk). Are you getting all ready for the big cricket match on Wednesday?
I’m all set, my beloved (keep it zipped, Amk)! Ireland v United Arab Emirates will be epic, I presume you’ll stay up all night to see it?
Two teams who I’ve never seen play cricket – this should be entertaining.
Don’t get those hopes too high – the bird can’t create a match of merit
I was careful not to use a duck, didn’t want to tempt fate 🙂
LOL – you have all the right answers 🙂 got to go out – contemplating leaving the family for a year or three – but one never does – excluding GOP male politicians
“contemplating leaving the family for a year or three…..”
When I rule the world, 99ts, there will be no families, everyone will have to live on their own, that way there will be permanent peace and harmony 🙂
Hadn’t thought of that – your world is going to be full of interest 🙂
heh, beautiful (ok, ok, … and young). ‘sup?
GARYT.
😆
😎
LOL. That’s some creative shite.
“Shite”??? Excuse me, I spent days preparing it. Jeeeeesus.

Good afternoon all!

Hello 😊Chips
(((
)))
Thanks for that helping hand! Would have been even more helpful if you had come and dragged me up earlier by sticking your hand through the inter webs!!! I knocked things way across the cricket field in the wee hours of the morning by clicking buttons right, left and centre in an effort to spruce up my system.
“I knocked things way across the cricket field”
😆 Ireland should sign you up for Wednesday!
I’ll notify my agent. 😀
This is so awesome!!
I’m back in! I’m back in! I’m back in ….I think. {{{TODobots}}} O, this is such a relief!
[holding my breath as I click ‘Post Comment’]
🙂 🙂 🙂 Life’s good…..and I’m never going to try to speed up/tidy up my computer late at night ever again! At least not until I forget this incident….. and the previous time (when I was only trying to remove cookies and removed peanut butter and cheese too)!
Ooooooooops!!! Welcome home VC, at least you got rid of the cookies, peanut butter and cheese!!!
After a trip to my new trusty computer repair guy, and with the exchange of a bit of cash – not a lot. I’m also now on Chrome, where before I was a Firefox junkie.
I’ve obviously missed the entire day – have we gotten any kind of an update on Rikyrah yet? It’s shortly after that tweet that I killed my TOD & twitter connection.
Rikyrah’s home from hospital, VC! She left a message here:
http://theobamadiary.com/2015/02/23/the-president-delivers-remarks-to-aarp/#comment-1270363
Thanks – off to read it
Oh thank goodness!
HI Vicky! There was an update on the last thread, I believe, from Rikyrah. She ‘s home from the hospital. They told her she was there due to stress. Has to go to her doctor’s tomorrow.
Thanks, Terri. Very good news!
I saw after I posted my comment that Chips had already answered you.
Glad to know that you are able to be with us. It wouldn’t be the same without your presence.
Thank you, TD! 😀 You can imagine me tearing my hair out when I realized I had messed things up pretending that I knew what I was doing. Very frustrating!
I would be going crazy.
I was getting horrible reception on my TV, Comcast, the last week with the very high wind and cold temps. Thank GOD it didn’t affect my computer.
Between the weather and my klutziness we never know what to expect, 😉 but we’re both still on line!
And, thank you sooo much for the welcome back. I feel almost normal again. 😀
Yay VC!!! 😀
Hi, Gurlie! It’s so good to be able to be ‘present’. 🙂 Being locked out was painful, particularly because I was at home!
Glad you’re back with us! 🙂
🙂 Thanks. Me too. 😀 There truly is no place like home.
Would love to know what First Lady Ghani discussed with First Lady Obama. She is a force ….
Dean Heller just voted with the Dems to block DHS funding.
It has failed
Was this the bill that attached the blocking of the immigration action to it?
Yes…
Clean DHS Bill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got home to good news about Rikyrah and progress on Iran deal. Good news all around.
It appears Ed Schultz and Mike Pampintonio want to blame PBO because BP is not paying the Gulf Spill Claims.
Every pundit in the US blames the President for anything that happens on the planet. I’m waiting to hear them blame him because the moon has phases or because mars looks red. How they have wasted what could have been the rise of the US to real exceptionalism during the past 6 years. I truly weep.

x100%
Meta, the thought alone makes me break into a grin!
That would be AWESOME!!!
That would be beyond great for so many reasons including sadly, the need to stop the disgusting Boehner gambit. The body language in all the photos looks energetic and open. I know pictures can be deceiving but I’m thinking positive!!
at least 2 days before the speech would be icing on the cake for me.
HF, that would be absolutely magnificent! By the way, it won’t be just “PBO/SOS Kerry and the U.S.; rathe,r it would also be the UN. Europe, Russia and China signing on on the nuclear deal with Iran. As far as I am concerned, Bibi Netanyahu is hurting the interests of the Israeli people.
Oh I love what Senator Boxer tweeted to Rudy “the racists” Giuliani.
Missus LL update.
Excuse me while I hit my head with a mallet.
She called the place that was supposedly hiring her. The administrator said, “Yes, we did get your fingerprints, but someone else’s came in first, so we hired her.”
And the missus was concerned about screwing THEM over by continuing to look for offers. So, she’s going to get in touch again with her friend who is a nurse in a facility in Long Beach and schedule a time to go down there.
This, children, is why I drink.
Oh ffs LL, that’s completely horrible, what a way to treat someone. Jesus.
Bless her, she’s not getting discouraged. I, meanwhile, am losing what’s left of my hair.
The casual way they screw around with people’s lives, wankers.
Wow! That is awful LL.
Praying there is a better job awaiting the missus.
LL – that company is showing you (and the missus) it’s true color (which is a RED FLAG)! As frustrating as it might be, the missus might very well be better off working elsewhere. Fingers crossed that she gets something soon!
So true Hopefruit, awful as the news might have been, I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, least of all Mrs LL, to work for the toerags.
I agree with hf! Something great is just around the corner for Missus LL! Hang in there!
This will blow your minds…A Ben Carson clone…..no I mean Clarence Thomas……where are his parents?
This lil’ boy puppet is just regurgitating crap from some very manipulative and vindictive adults around him…sadly, when he’s 30, and PBO is being LIONIZED by the history books and pretty much everyone else, his only recourse will be “well I was 12, and didn’t know what the hell I was talking about.”
Maybe he should spend some time in Ferguson or NYC so he can find out who he is……..!
I guess he will be signing up to go to war in six years…..
I kinda doubt it. He’s a baby blowhard!
I read about this little punk, I shouldn’t said that, I read about the 12 year old this morning. What the hell do he know about somebody being weak, listening to the family. Sound just like right wing bull sh!t. If Obama were so dam weak on ISIS and Terrorism then why haven’t his ass got blown to pieces. Excuse my english please.
He’s probably not very popular in school!
he is a child. Not wasting any energy on bullshit.
She’s on fire, Donna!!!
Go, Senator Boxer, go!!! Thank you Donna for bringing these tweets to us.
It Was My Pleasure 🙂
I love it when DEMS in the House and Senate stand up for their DEM President! Go Senator Boxer! 🙂
I just wish it wasn’t such a rarity. 😦
Indeed.
Barbara Boxer for the Winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!…HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Right on Senator Boxer.

Yeah, that’s how I remembered it. Thanks, Donna.
I guess McConnell has something else up his sleeve or maybe he’s just being willfully ignorant.

I love Jay Smooth – “The Oscars and learning the craft of being good”. Worth the 5 mins of your time, IMHO…
OUTSTANDING!!!! Thank you PSLA!! Perhaps Chips or NW could post it all by itself in a future “Chat Away” thread …
Hey, did y’all see this? Pretty cool!
And the Band played onnnnnnnn!
i wonder why they have decided to keep him….this si the same thing they did with ED Shultz…then they brought him back
Stupid is as Stupid does.
A bunch of idiots running that sinking ship over there at MSNBC!!!
interesting..if they plan to make that move right…why keep Maddow
It really is a “stinking ship”.
🙂
Hey Gurl! I rarely get to see you because I’m usually sleep when you arrive in TOD land. I hope all is well.
Good to see you, too! I get a little more time to log on to TOD over the weekends, so I’ll be sure to say hello more often! Hope you’re keeping warm! 🙂
Ha!
Hey everyone, is anyone using Chrome having trouble with TOD today, ie crashes?
I use Chrome all the time and I’ve had no problems.
Thanks Donna, will pass on the message to our Twitter pal and tell them to get a new ‘puter!!! 🙂
I use Chrome and haven’t had any problems.
Thanks Marilyn, one of our Twitter pals was having trouble today, so just wanted to check if it was a Chrome-wide problem. Thanks again!
Couldn’t access from iPhone 6 today. Kept crashing. iPad OK. Weird.
I sure didn’t watch the Oscars.
😀
Oh noooooo!
Ha’Eretz has an article up calling Bibi invite a coup.
That is what I have been saying.
The peice is behind a paywall so I can’t read it.
