I was in moderation for ages. WordPress ugh! I went back to Twitter sign in. I didn’t miss a day reading all the news though. TOD is my corner of sanity.
Good evening Nerdy, Chips & TOD! 🙂 Happy Friday everyone. Thanks Nerdy for this great thread and summary of our President’s day. Love these wonderful pics. Our President looks FINE.
annieb, don’t know where you read or heard that, but I seriously doubt Malia would be doing ANYTHING like that.
btw – that’s a game where golf balls are tossed into glasses of beer and the contestants have to drink the glasses of beer.
For security reasons, the idea of Malia Obama playing beer pong at a semi public party event where everyone has a smartphone is just NOT possible. Everyone needs to push back hard.
annieb, I find it really hard to believe that the daughter of Barack & Michelle, the grand daughter of Marion Robinson, the niece of Uncle Robinson (forgot his name) would be caught participating in a beer pong
GE TOD.
Great Pic Thread, NW. Thanks.
Congrats J4O on your Gold ⭐
It looks like Lamar Odom woke up and he spoke. Good Heavens. I hope that he recovers well soon.
so the residents of those affected areas will only have one day a month to get services at the DMV…just imagine the crowding and the chaos that will ensue on that one day….this is not a solution…
Thanks for the pics, NerdyW. I’m guessing I didn’t miss too much in terms of events today so I don’t feel too badly.
FTR, I’ve picked up my voting paraphernalia – after having to count my share of ballots and make sure the numbers in each booklet were in sequence. Honestly all the checks and balances I’ve already been exposed to have been reassuring to me as a voter. Now *all* I have to do is go over my training booklet on the weekend, get to the polling station no later than an hour before opening to set up my station and meet my assigned poll clerk, and be away from the TOD village for at least 14 hours! I can’t wait!
No. I got talked into this by a friend who said they needed extra bodies. 😦 Also, we don’t have precinct captains; I’m just a lowly Deputy Returning Officer – an experience I can already see myself *not* repeating.
GG, Are you sure Trump did not ask Carson to call him “Masa”? In the pic above, Trump looks like he is saying to Carson: “you are a good boy Bennie! You are not like that socialist, tyrant, muslim, Kenyan interloper, now currently occupying our sacred White House.”
Is there ANYTHING the GOP media will not blame on “Obama” – seems it’s all his fault that the GOP is fielding a major set of RWNJs in the Presidential primary. smh – and again – smh – no link – they should not be read.
Poor Peggy Noonan! She probably knows nothing about the political history of the great Abraham Lincoln, who, like President Obama. was an Illinois Legislator, and who only served one term (two years) in Congress as a member of the House of Representatives. Unlike Obama who resoundingly won the Illinois U.S. Senate seat, with about 70% of the votes, Abraham Lincoln, two years before he was elected President, had miserably lost the campaign to be Illinois’ U.S. Senator. Ironically, in 1860, Lincoln defeated Stephen Douglas for the Presidency, the same man who two years earlier, in 1858, had defeated him for the U.S. Senate in Illinois.
People like Peggy Noonan are blinded by white privilege when it comes to analyzing and interpreting history. It’s people like Noonan who perpetuate the myth that President Obama had no experience compared to all the white Presidents before him. Now lets look at the facts: President Obama had 12 years of experience in elective office before he became President. Compare that to Abraham Lincoln who had 10 years; FDR who had 8 years; Dwight Eisenhower who had “0” years; JFK who had 12 years; Jimmy Carter who had 4 years; the ” B movie actor,” Ronald Reagan, who had 8 years; George H.W. Bush who had 10 years; Bill Clinton who had 12 years; and, George W. Bush, who had 6 years. Moreover, no one questioned the legitimacy of Hillary Clinton who, in 2008, had served less than 8 years in elective office when she run for president. All the current candidates running for president, both Republicans and Democrats, (except for Lincoln Chafee and Martin O’Mally), have less experience in elective office than President Obama. Some like Trump, Carson, Fiorina, have ZERO experience!
she is trying to de-legitimize the President by saying that he truly was not worthy to be President…trying to take the focus off his accomplishments which belie all her angst about his “lowering the bar”
The Obama Diary

“It’s sounds like a toe fungus”
😯
Okay, how about Barack and the TODledoos?
How ’bout “Barry and the Baracketts’ ”
I think this deserves a Post all by itself in the morning 🙂
That sounds like a sexually transmitted disease.
Hoe about POTUS and the Pouting Pearls?

PLUEEZE, if I’m gonna pay – it better be for a good one, not something weak like that
What’s this about Malia Obama at a party at Brown U playing beer bong. Call me old, but I don’t know what the hell is beer bong. Is this true?
annieb, don’t know where you read or heard that, but I seriously doubt Malia would be doing ANYTHING like that.
btw – that’s a game where golf balls are tossed into glasses of beer and the contestants have to drink the glasses of beer.
still don’t believe it. Nope, not a child of Michelle Obama’s – Nope. Ain’t gonna believe the tweet
For security reasons, the idea of Malia Obama playing beer pong at a semi public party event where everyone has a smartphone is just NOT possible. Everyone needs to push back hard.
NW, thank you! This Post will go very well with my dinner 😘
GGail, I just read the tweet of Nat Baimel about Malia and this beer bong.
annieb, I find it really hard to believe that the daughter of Barack & Michelle, the grand daughter of Marion Robinson, the niece of Uncle Robinson (forgot his name) would be caught participating in a beer pong
Craig Robinson is his name.
Thanks girl, I drew a complete blank on his name – until after I had hit Post Comment 😀 😀 😀
That’s okay, it happens to us all.
🙂
GE TOD.
Great Pic Thread, NW. Thanks.
Congrats J4O on your Gold ⭐
It looks like Lamar Odom woke up and he spoke. Good Heavens. I hope that he recovers well soon.
That woman and her family are poison for LO, but he chose her
You heard it here first, they are going to use them against Israel…..
Okay, this is the best.
Ooooooh my gawd, that is creepy!! 😆
Just a little! 🙂
Ewwww. That is very creepy.
Ha. Hi, there, BCFFAA! A little creepy but cute on babies!
I saw that as Bernie once again trying to outdo the President…now with babies…i will be glad when he just goes away
This still is not good enough…
so the residents of those affected areas will only have one day a month to get services at the DMV…just imagine the crowding and the chaos that will ensue on that one day….this is not a solution…

VC, did you volunteer to be a voting precinct captain?
No. I got talked into this by a friend who said they needed extra bodies. 😦 Also, we don’t have precinct captains; I’m just a lowly Deputy Returning Officer – an experience I can already see myself *not* repeating.
so, did he?
We’ll tell you – but only after you say ‘good morning/afternoon/evening cherubs’.
‘good morning/afternoon/evening cherubs’.
there. now ….
Much better. We are going to transform you in to a fully functioning polite human being by the time we’re done with you.
insult in inglish only, please.
so, did he?
Oooooh, good one!
Who? What?
Good Evening TODVille!
Looking at these faces sends me down my knees… for a lot of prayer.
Trump is saying to Carson “let me hear you call me Daddy”
GG, Are you sure Trump did not ask Carson to call him “Masa”? In the pic above, Trump looks like he is saying to Carson: “you are a good boy Bennie! You are not like that socialist, tyrant, muslim, Kenyan interloper, now currently occupying our sacred White House.”
A debate without Trump might just be about the issues that should be debated – RW media fail – again
Hayes wants attention…
What a stupid and racist tweet! Hopefruit, Christopher Hayes is an idiot!
The new front…
“No @JebBush, you’re pathetic for saying nothing happened during your brother’s term when the World Trade Center was attacked and came down.”
In this instance, Donald Trump is absolutely spot-on!
furst.
Is there ANYTHING the GOP media will not blame on “Obama” – seems it’s all his fault that the GOP is fielding a major set of RWNJs in the Presidential primary. smh – and again – smh – no link – they should not be read.
🙂 Charlie Pierce said it all 99ts, in just a few words:
http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/news/a38916/peggy-noonan-trump-obama/
thanks, I’ll go check
Actually – that was quite a post from Noonan – she is vying with Kristol for the person who most often gets everything wrong.
It must be really hard to make yourself [Noonan] relevant after the expiration date. Her time has come and gone. Who listens to this old fart anymore?
Exactly COS, she’s yesterday’s woman, she needs to shuffle off the stage and spend more time chatting with the voices in her head.
Just got to post that sentence – from your link
“The merlot dries on the counter. Everything you know is wrong/And the cartoon canaries dive and soar, singing a madwoman’s song.”
The man is a genius!!! Some might write a 1,500 word response to her madness, he just says it all in a line or two!
Few would want to be in a repartee situation with Pierce – for the most part I agree with every word he says – the exception proving the rule.

All the tweeps that tweeted about Malia Obama at Brown U now have their twitter accounts protected. How about that.
