I’m glad to see that the Secret Services is investigating the racists old bigot.
Good! They ought to!
Something strange happening in the US when the commenters at the Hill are pro PBO – first time I have ever seen comments at that website on the side of the President. It’s almost as if folks now are realising what they are about to lose. Why does someone have to be gone before folks will admit to the good that they do.
Because: teh stoopid
Glad to hear that! Just heard about that effer on MSNBC. Lock him up. (Now we know where Trump gets many of his talking points – his ex-butler.) (Gag.)
Hello J’OB, how’s our favorite son?
❤ So sweet.
Guess what! He's coming home tomorrow! The plastic surgeon told him even HE was surprised with how good everything looks, and how fast he's at the point of discharge (and Steve was told in advance that part of the surgical team would be the strictest relating to letting him go home). Had all tubes removed this morning, but for one small drainage thingie related to the plastic surgery, which he'll take with him. Has gone walkabout 4 times daily in hospital corridors since Tuesday. (Learning how to breathe differently and normally, now that he's all sewn up, but we won't go there.) He says he is READY to come home. He has to go back to see the plastic surgeon on Tuesday, but he's otherwise good to go.
Prayers work! Thanks for your good thoughts, GGail, as well.
Wow, that was fast & fabulous. May his recovery be as quick.
Thank you, sir! He’s so ready to get on with it.
With his spirit, he will.
Totally agree. Thx.
Amazing Grace ❤
I'm so happy I could cry tears of thanks.
{{{GGail}}} I am, too! Amazing Grace!
GE JO’B.
Great news indeed.
GGail was instrumental in rallying TODville for healing energy to be sent your son’s way.
Sounds like he’ll be missed at the hospital, but such a relief for him to not have to spend more time there.
Best wishes to you and your entire family, and prayers for speedy, complete healing for your inspirational son.
Thank you so much. And with that sweet thought, I think I’m outta here. 🙂 zzzzzzzzzzzzz
YES!!
wait wut??????
Lemme find out I may just have to consider making a donation to HRC. Looking out the windows because I do believe I just saw a pig fly.

Great tweet roundup, NerdyW!
Love the reminders of just how awesome PBO was at his final WHCD. We should be reminded every day, just to cleanse ourselves of the nonstop MSM all-Trump-all-the-time BS.
Wish there were a way to have MSM respond to this truth:
more…
re: Appalachia (posted at TOD yesterday):
Commenters to this tweet don’t consider some portions of this map as Appalachia, but from a geographic definition, this area is all the same mountain range which has different names assigned by local White people.
During the 2008 campaign, I recall a slew of articles analyzing the “American” descendants” of Scots-Irish immigrants in this region, specifically to refute the notion of people in this area being racist (against an African American candidate).
Now that it’s abundantly clear that racism is THE theme of Trump’s candidacy and support, crickets from MSM.
And for those pundits who consider West Virginia primary as important, they overlook the fact that WV is still registered-Democratic state:
Actually, the town I live outside of was one of the few Southern hubs (probably the only Southern hub) in the Underground Railroad. The Mennonite church in Boone was helping so many people who escaped slavery get through the mountains that a lot of them stayed. Because Mennonite congregations split off when the church gets large enough to found another church and the African-American members could not really move as a group before the Civil War, the church eventually became what is apparently the one African-American Mennonite church in America.
While not everyone in the town was actively abolitionist, the fact that they were doing all this had to be obvious – the town was tiny in those days and a whole free black congregation right in the middle of things was about as subtle as a thunderclap. So the numbers of townspeople passively helping or at least turning a blind eye had to huge.
The area was also heavily settled by Union soldiers who received land grants after the war.
Having said that, we’re one of the three or so counties in western North Carolina President Obama won both times.
So there is that.
Great info. Thanks so much for sharing☺
You’re welcome.
Awesomeeeeeeee collection of Tweets…NW
Congrats on first! 😄
Wheeeeeeeeeeee… 😀

hammer.meet.nail tweets, ut.
Awful day on twitter. So…..
meta did you have a awful day on twitter? I’m sorry.
A lot of garbage today: Trump, Ryan, Trump’s butler, assaults on Trayvon’s memory, etc, etc, etc.
I was learning and doing well on Twitter had a lot of followers, got a lot of likes. I also liked and retweeted meta a lot. Had to leave for my sanity. I weaned myself off will never go back to such bigotry and racism. Now and again I retweet something to do with the President or his wife and their accomplishments.

Inspiring! A 15-year-old self-taught pianist with 4 fingers has made his Carnegie Hall debut: “I want everybody to know that if you set your mind to something, you really can do it.”

You’re very welcome!
Guess who is saying ‘no more open primaries’ now.

amk, now help me understand the players. jtp, Jenny, just had another litter. I thought jtp, Jack was from a previous litter she had. Who’s the baby(s) daddy????
Speak slowly
Oh Great, GGail! Now I’m REALLY confused! You know what “jtp” stands for, right? amk is sooooo mean!
LOL!
Doesn’t it stand for Jenny the pig and Jack the pig? And it’s because they’re fat?
YES! How mean is that?! Especially when he feeds them people food! Gee….wonder why they’re fat?? Those babies sure are cute, though:)
#BLASPHEMY!!!!! p is for
pigpug.jtp, no the other one, was the furst.
jtp, no the other one, was imported from another place.
so, the tripliglets, are theirs.
kapisce?
I don’t allow inbreeding. So, you want the mini-jtp’s? Going free.
You’re hilarious. Really. Beauty sleep time:) Manana.
Night my cheri ❤
Whew! I’m so glad you cleared that mystery up!
Now I don’t have to report you to Animal Kingdom 😀 😀
And no, I’m finally kid-free and footloose. Don’t want no more obligations, thank ya
wait till you hear the story of jtp, no, the really other one.
GM amk.
Doubt many in TODville will watch this, but Stephen Colbert did a short riff on this photo.
Worth watching IMO for his description of his high school behavior.
LOL @ the origin story. Thanks.
Hope Bill doesn’t land in any trouble ‘cos Stephen smoked him out.
So excited, my long-awaited copy of Hamilton will be delivered in a few more days!! I suspect I have a second edition, as I had to wait a number of weeks, but slow off the mark with that one! Oh well. BUT: I urge everyone to seriously consider adding a soon-to-be-released copy of The Spirit of Villarosa to your collection. My pre-ordered, signed copy arrived last week, and I am riveted with the father/son story. I know y’all will just love it!
http://www.thespiritofvillarosa.com/pre-order/ Don’t miss out on this one! ❤️
VC – Did you see this one? Too cute.
