Hello
Must be nice to monitor TOD from work. Congratulations! 😆
Between my phone notifications and my computer – I get lucky ere now and again
And you’re gettin’ paid too? OooWeee!
Be quiet 😀 😀
Congratulations Gail 🙂
Another FIRST CLASS collection of tweets, NW. Thank you!!!
#Hope4ALL
Thanks Bob and welcome back 😊
🙂
Hey there, GGail! That golden tiara looks good on you! Congrats! 🙂
Hey TODable TOD Village 😉
GE.
An absolutely fantabulous collection Nerdy, thanks a traaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazillion!!
You’re welcome, Chiparooooooooo! 🙂
Congrats GGail…..Gold ⭐ is yours ^5 😉
Thanks Nena 🙂
Excellent Copious Newsy Tweets, NW.
🍸
🙂
Terrific as usual Nerdy. There are no words to describe the full legacy of PBO. Just wish GOP would stop lying and getting covered while lying. As an outside observer it just boggles my mind.
History will remember President Obama well. 🙂
Donna position changes so frequently – I don’t know who she is sometimes. This is the Donna that speaks the truth. The other one is lurking close by.
Donna Brazile ✔ @donnabrazile
Before I rest for the night, let me explain the election results. When you run away from the President of your party, you lose. Period.
Having attended several events for PBO, I can tell you that it gets quite hot and stuffy when you are standing around a whole lot of people. When I attended one event for him at USC, I was outside at the Quad and had to leave the front of the crowd and go to the other side of the street to get fresh air. I say that to say, that a young girl just had a issue just now while standing behind VP Biden and there was an issue at Clemson too.
If Biden keeps talking like this, he might find his name as a Write-In Candidate come November 2016 🙂
😊 ❣
bbl
Joe is enjoying himself
Watching VP Biden at these two events makes me so much more sad that he is not in the race. Those young adults that he is imploring to stand up to rape and to participate in the voting process, couldn’t wait for him to leave the stage before they crowded to take a picture with him.
I love and admire VP Joe so much. He would have been a remarkable POTUS and I still feel a sadness about this. I miss seeing him in the limelight every day…….when he gives these speeches, he’s really in his zone. I so hope he is content and ready to continue his good work after 2016.
I agree meta
For people’s choice award!
‘ Please vote! The winning photographer will have a traveling international exhibit through in Australia, Asia, Europe and North America! ‘
Vote on what, you say? 🙂
This is the new Linear Collider, from CERN, and they’re bringing art photographers in to help describe their operation. Lots of cool pics, and a very cool project.

Only Joe Biden could get a group of Marines on duty to laugh! Well, and President Obama!
Love that photo!
hehe – some truth in tweets there
Great tweets for retweeting, NW!
🙂
Would be nice if the media would shout very loudly that the reason PBO has been unable to do certain things is because of the stupid in congress. Would also be nice if a debate would address such issues
hahahaha – who am I kidding – Trump will get congress to do every last thing he wants – as per the US media
I just LOVE this photo of him. There is such a kindness in his eyes.
Me too, Meta. I also love the black and white nature of the picture and the fact that it’s a close up. It shows the lines, gray hair, laugh lines, integrity, wisdom, compassion, well earned sweat and tears, strength, courage, and brilliance of President Obama.
It’s a face rich with depth and character.
This, this and THIS!
PRECISELY. Every bit of this.
I am drawn wholeheartedly to the B & W contrast and the real nature of his face. He is impossibly handsome – we’ve seen him in photos, videos on a daily basis but here he is in rich detail. TBH, it reminds me when I saw him here in SF in 2011 and we shared a spontaneous really deep laugh and then he hugged me – so I was close to his face and it somehow seemed different than what I had been used to seeing – there was the full relief of freckles, a few wrinkles, the depth of his eyes, the ready smile that displayed gorgeous teeth, the contour of his lips that is truly unmistakable…..the really stunning availability of his personality and character. His face is expressive but also reserved, as though he has so much to say but will he himself decide when to say it. Apart from his immediate charisma, there is the knowing that here is a man of remarkable depth. In a way, there’s no end to what his face can express.
He himself wrote a very moving essay about Lincoln’s face. Maybe one day I’ll do the same about him. It’s a very, very rich subject. Honestly – the things he’s seen……
And this too. Made me take a second and third look.
CHARACTER……………..GRACE…AND COMPASSION………………THE FULL PACKAGE…INTEGRITY WITH A TIE!
Just read this about the baby debate on LGF
Matt Murphy @MattMurph24
Wow Fox Business debate starts with a whopper of a lie. Moderator says 90 million unemployed and anemic job growth.
10:02 AM – 11 Nov 2015
90 million! If you subtract retired folks, children and women who choose to stay at home with their children – how many workers are left – that is one BIG lie – this media is built on lie after lie after lie
That sums it up.
I wonder if Malia and Sasha will be with POTUS this year as he pardon the turkeys? I mean the real turkeys, not the ones at the GOP debate tonight.
They might appear just to troll the media…
HA! Yeah, they’ll be on time, for sure.
Wish they would add a male and female (Rooster & hen) Wild Turkey! That would be interesting! They are so colorful! 🦃
THIS……………………IS TOO DARNED FUNNY………………………..
boom.
lol this is the funniest yet! Not bothering to watch the debates and am instead watching something else while studying.
Ain’t it the truth 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
Thanks amk 🙂
ROTFLMAO!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha…..
🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 :):):)
I LOVE it!
Thank you for all the news! So many things are hopeful, and then that Supreme Court decision just makes you sick. Legalized murder. Death penalty without trial. I’ll have to go back to the top and stare at that beautiful picture or our beautiful president.
more court sanctioned killing of the citizens. way to go supremes.
And did I read it was 8:1 – that is scarry
the land of the free and the home of the brave and all that crap.
A lot of booze going down tonight 😀 😀 😀
bbl …
A little news before departing for the kitchen 🙂
Hello TODers.
I need your opinion on the following:
As part of a team building event a group of workers went to the movies. They went to a theater that has two branches on different sides of the city.
After the movie, there’s a killing at one of the movie theaters.
The supervisor for the workers who is white, sent out the following text:
“So apparently someone got shot at the xxxx on W street today!!!!!! Um So may be it is ghetto”
One of the African Americans texted back and said:
“What makes it Ghetto(sic)? because someone got murdered….”
Another worker, a young white girl text:
“Well yes….”
The African American screened shot the definition of Ghetto for Google which read:
noun
1. a part of a city, especially a slum area, occupied by a minority group or groups.
verb
1. put in or restrict to an isolated or segregated area or group.
The supervisor texts back:
“I think ghetto as in gang, drugs and shootings.”
The other white girl referred to above, screen shot this definition of ghetto
“word which rich white girls describe almost everything that’s not clad with lilly polos and pearls. ”
“Look how ghetto I look” Muffy said as she put on gucci sunglasses.
At that point the African American and another worker asked to be removed from the text.
What do you guys think about this exchange?
Hi Africa, I personally don’t think the ‘team building’ is going to go much further.
Some “folks” need a serious ‘Time Out’……..!
Just peeking in on TODers. I had been busy the last few months helping my sister-in-law tend to my oldest brother who lost his battle with cancer on October 26. His funeral was a week ago today. I’ve lost three brothers in the last four years, so my two remaining brothers and myself are reeling, but we’re hanging in there. I hope to return to being a more frequent visitor in the near future.
Hi Majiir. Sorry to hear of your losses; wishing you and your remaining bros, and your family, peace and togetherness as you go forward!
Prayers for you & your family…..Do what you have to to be at peace.
My condolences to you and your family, Majiir. Sending you comforting thoughts.
So sorry about your brother, Majiir, May he RIP. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
My heart aches for you. I am so sorry. Come back whenever you can, majiir.
❤️
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, majiir! Keep holding on to your other two brothers. Take good care of yourselves and each other. Wishing you all peace and love at this difficult time.
I know the pain that you are feeling and send you condolences and healing thoughts for you and your family.
❤ {{{ majiir }}} ❤
Regret the sorrow & pain you and your two brothers are experiencing, majiir. Will keep all of you in my thoughts.
“Sorry for your loss” cannot cover the grief you are living through. Sending healing and positive energy your way, majir.
So sorry to hear of your loss majiir. May your brothers you’ve lost all rest in peace, and wishing your and remaining family members strength and healing at this difficult time.
My deepest sympathy to you {{{{{ ❤ Majiir ❤ }}}}} and your family members.
the Democratic debate coming up on Saturday…will that deal with issues of FP and the war against ISIS….
I’ve got this godawful RWNJ debate on, in the background. It’s godawful. The two whining the most, from my POV, are Jeb and Trump. Big babies, not used to waiting on others or being called out. All of them seem so juvenile to me … ALL of them. One of the creepy moderators is already looking disgusted, and that’s saying a lot.
Stupid is as stupid does.
It is so very hard to understand why anyone votes for them – yet they control so many states – and congress
I’ll never understand that, either!
27% Voter turn out explains it all
fuck the thugs. some jtp’s
Hi, beautiful pups!
What a big fat joke Christie is.
Oh and by the way I Carly Fiorina is a christian. You poor women who cares if you get sick and have no healthcare. By the way, I’m a christian.
FLOTUS will make a appearance on the show The Voice tomorrow. Is she singing?
I usually don”t watch the Voice but I will tomorrow.
Good Evening Family!
greetingsssssssssss
I bet the chinese and russians are rooting for one of these numbnutz to be the prezinent.
I doubt they are amk – they might want to control their own part of the world but they don’t want a lunatic in charge of the red button
And, thusly, and ergo, this godawful RWNJ debate is ohvah.
I was in a parallel universe for a while there, but I escaped! They are all crazy, and we are doomed if any of them get in the White House.
And I do not say that lightly, and you know and I know it’s the truth.

Still trying to catch up w/ all the fab posts! But, if not mentioned already, Montgomery (Maryland) Schools have voted to recognize Eid Al-Fitr as a school holiday. This took a lot of work to accomplish. Check out Montgomery Co. to see why this is a great happening & how times are changing. Counting 1…2…3 for the nuts in “USA-USA-USA” to start some kinda batshit crazy, yelling about someone named Jesus, born in Bethlehem, PA! 🙂
Ha ha – CNN anchor taking on FOX:
If that’s how he looks “dancing” when it’s #FreeJeb time, let’s let him run forever. My eyes cannot un-see that. Gag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it!
curz (sic) pulling a goodhair. what’s texans and counting in one just fucking hand?
Pretty sure I recall (from out of my stupor while sitting through it) that he said five and named Commerce twice.
The moderators and audience were way too far-right-ish to yell OOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously?
Unfortunately, since his narrative is more slickish and smartish, the Richard Perry D.u.m.b. curse would not stick on this Faker.
Hey are any of you blog tyrants out there? We need a new thread. Pretty please.

Well, actually, they all are. Not that it’s supposed to be about something shallow like that, but you’ve seen ’em!
LOL!
LOL. aqua buddha doesn’t make the empty quote squares.
Well, that’s it for me – crawled out of that yucky debate-world and now gonna crawl into bed! Goodnight, TODville.

Good Morning TODVille!
Morning everyone. Happy Veteran’s Day…thank you to all the veterans here for service to our country! The WH is waaaay ahead of this. As always, they walk the walk.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/11/11/us-usa-veterans-whitehouse-idUSKCN0T00D720151111#Zieuh6iVxPI7AG4w.97
All recent U.S. military veterans and their families will now be offered in-state tuition rates to public colleges and universities throughout the country, the White House said on Wednesday.
Announced in honor of the U.S. federal holiday Veterans Day, which fell on Wednesday, the change is part of President Barack Obama’s “steadfast commitment” to military families and aims to make sure veterans can both access and get the most out of higher education, administration officials said.
Officials also announced the launch of a revamped comparison tool to offer veteran-specific admissions statistics, which aims to help applicants better evaluate programs, and a new effort to curb deceptive enrollment tactics used by schools aiming to recruit veterans.
Cecilia Munoz, a top domestic policy adviser to the president, said while Obama is pressing his administration to push these changes forward quickly, he is also calling on Congress to move forward on three pieces of legislation to help improve veterans’ education.
“These pieces of legislation will really ensure that veterans have the opportunities and assistance to … realize the American dream,” Munoz told reporters on a conference call.
Meanwhile, down in the bijou……Vitter better still have his diapers on cuz I bet he’s shitting bricks now!
G’morning Nerdy, Chips, TOD, lurkers, and Happy Veterans Day to all our TODers who’ve so bravely served this country! 🙂
Rise and Shine!
