The "make America white again" part of the GOP base is pumped up. But sure, tell me again why I should do a protest vote for Jill Stein..

The Obama Diary 
The white supremacy does get a little tired should have response. Chris Hayes being taught the error of his ways. Thanks Dudette
Mrs Trump No 3 now reading in broken English to a crowd that hates immigrants. Ann Romney sounds brilliant in comparison.
Not a word of policy has yet been spoken at this hate fest.
“should have been” the response ahhhhh
Here we are!
who is the has been?
Wow, Nerrdy Wonka! Great tweets. Great coverage of the events. More importantly, I just love and respect your fearlessness in pushing back against these right wing idiots. Thank you so much for keeping TOD going full speed.
Hi Nath – just fabulous tweets – Steve King should disappear into oblivion after this one – but no doubt he will get a rousing cheer from Trump’s team.
Well, that’s pretty good for a hundred years or so, isn’t it? For crying out loud, y’all are tougher than I. I’ve had enough, thank you for filtering so we see only the, um, uh, what are we seeing? Sometimes I tell ya, I am ashamed, ashamed, to be a white girl.
None of them Katie – not one last of their blond chics can hold a candle to FLOTUS. Delightful inside and out.
wow. I bet he dumps her on nov 6th.
I guess yt immigrants are okay, huh?
hey friend – good to see you 🙂
Hiya Trish.
Kaboom!
Nerdy – you are wonderful. That tweet with Christie playing the piano will have me laughing all week. Darth really gets it.
I’m pretty sure he says “the blacks”…like he’s talking about jelly beans or something…not actual people!
Yep
2008, Michelle Obama talk about Barack driving her and new born Malia home, how Barack pick her up on their first date in a car with a hole in the bottom of the floor. ,
Personal story to illuminate who he is. None of that from Mrs. T.
Everybody knows who that racists, sexists, lying, thin skin bully is.
WTF constitutes a “sub-group”? Is it the the over 4.4 billion Asians? Is it the 1.11 billion Africans? Is it the 627 millions of Latin Americans? Poor Steve King, he is probably so deluded that he does not realize that when it come to world population, whites are distinctly the minority. More importantly, Steve King is so clueless that he doesn’t understand that the idea of races is a social/historical construct As far as science is concerned, we basically have one human race. Skin pigmentation, physical features, or the color and texture of one’s hair has absolutely nothing to do with which individual human being ends up being a genius or a stupid idiot like Steve King.
If white supremacists like Congressman Steve King want to argue that Donald Trump is superior to Barack Obama, simply because Obama is darker (or is it less orange) than Trump, all I can say to them is: God forgive you for your small mindedness and for your ignorance of both science and history. Obviously, Steve King does not know that the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia (West Asia) and Egypt (Africa) laid the foundations of what we now call Western Civilization I am also certain that Steve King is totally unaware of the role Islamic scholars and Scientists from West Asia (now called the Middle East) and North Africa played in civilizing Western Europe and rescuing it from the “Dark Ages.”
You DAM right she isn’t.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did Melania speak English?
Oh no! 😆
All the racists right wing haters, who is always talking about what Michelle Obama look like, Melania Trump isn’t that good looking, to much surgery. Skin pull to tight..
Giuliani looks like he is shouting hang the Nigg@, hang him.
About damn time!
…and here I was thinking “Wow, she got a better looking wig…”
Ha ha ha!
He’s Blaaaaaack!
flynn – the typical example of I hate obama democrat. I hope he has had last 15 minutes of fame and will be treated as an outcast from now on. talk about burning the bridges.
LOL. Boom.
beebs live blog is all about how the ‘a noun, a verb and 9/11’ (thanks, uncle joe) is a ‘strong character witness’ for the deadbeat. bbc should move their HQ to DC. Much easier to ape murkan msm from close quarters.
There once was a numbskull named Joni
Who spoke up for Trump like a phony
She rolled into Ohio
With nothing on her bio
Her résumé’s a shitload of baloney.
should I post that sign again?
#bravo
🙂
Palate cleanser
Aw! That’s great!
This is quite touching! What a class act? My President is a wonderful and caring human being. I will forever feel blessed to have voted for him four times and to have been alive during his presidency.
LOL!
At first, I read it as Joni Ernst is speaking to an almost empty rhetoric.
Colbert on NOW!
Doing a musical number that is frying GOP with white hot flames!
Yeah, baby!
Jon Stewart on Stephen Colbert!
Yeh baby! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The chickens are coming home to roost…
aspirational12…….you are telling the truth.
Booyah!
Go ahead and speak the TRUTH, hopefruit! To paraphrase the good book, Republicans are reaping what they’ve been sowing for the past 7 + years.
Sorry, no sorry, Murph! 🙂 I’m not feeling The Kind for your ilk.
Thank you to all who are keeping those of us who can’t watch or listen to the RNC informed. It is so unbelievable that this is what the Republican Party has come too. It makes me feel ill in so many ways. I do know that I will be making calls for all our Dems that are running. I have to do all I can to make sure these people don’t get elected.
Right on.
Hmmm…..
Ain’t it a trip? They seriously thought no one would notice.
And will the media ignore it?
You be up late Dudette – take care of you
They sure did, Dudette! You know what, Dudette, Students are failed, and sometimes kicked out of school, if they are caught plagiarizing. Tonight, Melania Trump was caught, red handed, plagiarizing parts of Michelle Obama’s 2008 speech to the DNC that nominated her husband to run for President.
Imagine what would have happened if Michelle Obama had plagiarized Nancy Reaga, or Barbara Bush, or Laura Bush. White supremacists would be out in full force loudly proclaiming that Obama was unfit to be president because his wife, an unqualified beneficiary of affirmative action, was stealing her speeches from the former First Lsdies, who obviously possessed superior intellect than her.
You know it!
I just saw a video comparing each line, and she really did plagarize it! OMG.
http://gawker.com/melania-trump-apparently-plagiarized-a-section-of-miche-1783889522
O my Lord – which speechwriter did that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You up late too Hopefruit – my goodness when Michelle made her speech she was pounded by the GOP and now they love it. These people have no shame.
Don’t forget that ex-The Daily Show Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert will be reporting on the RNC convention all week long. And the DNC convention next week. Jon will be at the conventions and reporting into Stephen on The Late Show on CBS at 11:30pm. Or you can find the show online at cbs.com the next day.
Peep this y’all!
what a family of frauds and hucksters.
Definitely a Trump
THIS!!!
The utter incompetence and slimy idiocy of these people is beyond the pale. What a bunch of sleazy crooks!
LOL! Stephen is killin’ it! 😄
ouch!
Lawd ha mercy! Side by side video!
It has been so strange to me the way Trump goes after PBO, with an intensity that is lacking when he talks about Hillary. I have concluded that he is steeped in jealousy of PBO, and just cannot get beyond it. From PBO’s intellect, grace and eloquence to his popularity and his family. Trump attacks Hillary but it is much more pro forma, because he has to. You can attribute it to PBO’s humiliation of him at the WHCD but I think it is more. He knows he will never be able to achieve what PBO has achieved in his lifetime, much less ever garner the respect, and it is eating him up. Given that, I suspect this campaign is just going to get uglier and uglier as the months go by, and November cannot come soon enough.
I am getting to the point I will work my heart out for Hillary and donate simply so that PBO does not have to “welcome” Trump to the WH on inauguration day!!!!!!!!
Eff! BriWi on MSNBC on that panel talking about plagiarism. OK, let’s put that aside for a moment. Now Melania’s so-called speech is 22 words out of 27 from FLOTUS’s speech, thus far. EFF! Am waiting for some idiot to make excuses for this trump woman stealing from FLOTUS. Oops, here we go. On MSNBC they’re now saying that it was a deliberate act of sabotage for Trump. So absolutely no one in Trumpland ever heard Michelle speak? No one is there to say, “hey idiot, that’s plagiarized?” EFF, they knew exactly what they were doing, and plagiarized w/ impunity. Period. No excuses for any of the actors involved, including Melania. They are making her a victim. Why didn’t she just sit her butt down and write your own damn speech if she’s so smart?
We MUST NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS! Yep, I’m shouting!
Gazelle, I am not letting Melania off the hook. She is married to a lowdown dirty lying racists, sexists, thin skin bully. Some of him have bound to rub off on her. The right wing Trump supporter said she speak five languages, she graduated college, she should not be stealing our FLOTUS lines, speech..
Bella, my thought exactly! They’re both despicable thieves, aided by media. She knew exactly what she was doing, knew exactly where those words originated. I guess being married to a trump begats trumps. Maybe she was a trump to begin with. We’re not taking it anymore, whereby these effers steal with impunity. No more. #StealNoMore
She’s a birther – just like her pathetic husband.
FLOTUSSSSSS always WINS the day:
Love FLOTUS.
Thanks, Meta! I surely needed that giggle! Love FLOTUS & was going thru outrage a little bit ago, then this made me super smile! xoxo
Gonna Misssssss FLOTUS …so much!!!
Anyone on Twitter, etc., please contact all those idiotic MSM and let them know we know Trumpsters have no original ideas in their collective bodies and steal, then pretend it’s all their effing idea. Stealing FLOTUS’ speech, really? Really? They’ve tried to steal everything great POTUS and FLOTUS have done, no credit given, just plain thievery. Am done w/ these arses. They will not steal anymore. Period. Let’s list everything else and all they’ve stolen. #StealNoMore
I RARELY agree with Radio Tom, but this time I’m 100% with him….
LOL!
Joy Ann Reid speaking truth. MSNBC panel all blaming staff, but Melania Trump is a grown woman. She went on TV said she wrote the speech and she delivered it. Michelle Obama wouldn’t have gotten a pass if she would have done this.
OMG, Dudette, I just turned on the tv and saw where she lifted some of Michelle’s speech.
Dudette, you speak the truth. Melania knew exactly what she was doing. If Michelle Obama did this, Fox, right wing hate radio would rip her to pieces.
Exactly!
There is no excuse for this.
Much more dangerous than Melania plagerizing.
So, Melania Trump has mentioned her “charity work” more than once, now. Will she release details of her charity work, like Trump will release their tax returns?
Oh, now isn’t this cute?
So effing predictable sausages.
It was so great that your wife repeated it tonight!!!
This!!!!!
Zing!
So they showed video of Donald and Melania on their plane being interviewed by Matt Lauer. Matt asked if she practiced the speech – NOT whether she wrote it.
She VOLUNTEERED that she wrote it with as little help as possible.
I believe this is the response she was coached to give if anyone asked whether she wrote the speech. She was waiting for that question and screwed it up by answering a different question from what Matt asked.
The entire family just can’t help themselves, they have to embellish everything with lies.
Matthews is trying to make excuses for this fiasco.
ignore that imbecile. via bj
NYT headline is Melania Trump Echoes a Michelle Obama Speech and goes on to note that the speech “came under scrutiny when similarities were discovered between her remarks and those delivered by Mrs. Obama at the Democratic convention in 2008.”
Echoes.
Similarities were discovered.
4th estate 5th columnists. all of ’em.
Now, which one of POTUS’s speeches The Donald is going to copy and read? The 2004, or the 2008, or even the 2012? Maybe Il Douche will use the Berlin one.
What stood out was the phrase “your word is your bond.” In my opion, this is idiom someone with Melania’s English proficiency is not likely to use. Tell me you really think Mrs. Trump used it ever in her life before today.
The finger pointing and accusation has begun.
bbc fp right now
Donald Trump’s wife Melania takes centre stage on the first night of the Republican National Convention, setting out to soften her husband’s rough edges.
ffs
LOL! They’ve already got a new hashtag.
Michelle has way too much class. If she says anything it will be very subtle – but I doubt she’ll mention it.
Too much fun tonight. Must vote on November 8 and get those plagiarists far away from DC.
But – she wrote it herself – will that be another lie?
I can’t let it go…
Hahaha!
Yep, from the MSN it will be “pauvre Melania” she’s not to blame, happenstance, y’know; those speechwriters, y’know. All of a sudden they’re going to swear the teleprompter turned a linguist into the proverbial dumb blond and she started to speak in Michele-tongues. Wait …. Incoming! Correction from us: she’s a Proverbial …. THIEF! Just say the word, MSM, and simply shame the devil! THIEF! Now, MSM, don’t you feel a sense of freedom? We’re offering you a one-way ticket to the New Fourth Estate, where journalism thrives. Stop shaming the field of journalism.
They live the life of complete and total FRAUDS
Liars.
I’M LIVID.
These tweets are killing me. 🙂
Lots of comments on BJ in the same vein

Not to mention the irony of the crowd cheering Michelle Obama’s words. Words fail.
There are really so many layers to this. They spent the entire 8-9 years demonizing the Obamas and here this white woman, privileged to the HILT, rips off a speech about VALUES from the First Lady. NO NO NO NO NO
I love playing with this maniac, not that he’ll ever see it. But methinks his head must be exploding tonight.
Bwahahaha!
Damn!
No! You have GOT to be kidding me!
The punk thief of a fraud must be hating how the obama’s continue to torment him, even to the day of his biggest moment of his life.
josh barro is a repub I can like.
Normally, I’d be against going after wives, but all bets are off with this gang.
BOOM!!
I feel the same way. They are ALL asking for it, wife and kids included.
Let’s keep our “sticks and stones” handy! They can dish it out, so let’s see if they can take it.
I’ve noticed it’s mostly men.
aww, eric. you know what? you built that, you pos.
da
trumpdumb baseAre they that stupid or will they forever support their right to vote against their country. Or both?
Both.
Maybe 8??!!
Maybe she graduated from Trump University!
the party of self responsibility. what a con game that they played over murkans for decades.
The awful truth
Just saw Jarrett Hill interviewed on BBC World about his scoop. He was asked if he’d heard from Clinton or Obama camps. Said he hadn’t received an invite from FLOTUS to the DNC but would be happy to accept. 😄
The best part is that he actually used the word stole unlike the weaselly words of copied, lifted, blah, blah from the msm cowards.
Squint and the Meat Puppet (thanks Pierce) are having much trouble going from Fabulous speech, wonderful lady – to plagiarism. They are so sad. Also too they are quoting the lady as having written the speech herself. So so sad.
And of course, we are hearing about Hillary accusing PBO and Joe Biden.
And then we have the man going insane saying – despite anything why MICHELLE OBAMA’s speech. Melania is done despite the best best efforts of the man of the morning.
If this had been Hillary/Bill Clinton – they would be demanding resignations.
Didja see this? #Asamother
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-36831379
the privileged teevee lady, who probably runs around her own security, is skurred.
Used to be the moderator – or whatever you call it – on “big brother”. Had her babe very late in life – obviously has sent her crazy. (which I would understand as motherhood definitely not my scene – only good thing about being a mother is grandbabes)
We have some RW crazies just elected to parliament.
ah, another reality tv ‘star’. say no more.
They want to close the borders, but still want freedom to travel anywhere they choose. They are the actual danger to humanity.
Oh my Lord – the media is now telling Trump how to fix things up – in between having hysteria because they went for a democrat’s speech. Why didn’t they plagiarism a republican speech.
I agree with the man who said Trump will laugh it off – no apology, no firing.
me too…he will pretend nothing out of the way happened..
Good (early) morning prettyfoot. I was laughing myself silly listening to the MJ team trying to talk around the plagiarism and tell everyone how wonderful is Melania – and then I went to listen to the Matt Lauer interview where she said she wrote the speech herself. That was the most crawling sycophantic interview I have ever heard. The media is falling over themselves to welcome this revolting man & his trophy wife into the white house. The US media has gone insane over the past 8 years & I do believe Trump could commit any crime & they would laugh it away.
I also didn’t know, while the lady was attacking Hillary Clinton about Benghazi!!, Trump dialed into Fox News and they cut away from the Convention. Has ANY nominee ever done such a thing? The man has delusions of grandeur beyond that of most dictators we have seen come and go in many countries. I am starting to believe the conspiracy theories that he thinks he can be the Emperor rather than the President.
matt lauer literally tried to paw her in that interview. It was disgusting to see how the murkan msm is totally and blatantly in the tank for gop.
Glad you saw it as well – sometimes men/women will react differently to such things – this was so blatantly revolting.
I hate all the fratboy stuff. The fecker was giggling, ffs.
OK I’m ranting this morning. MJ raving about what a wonderful speech from someone who’s never made a speech before – Just how many speeches had Michelle Obama made before her husband ran for President – and all the media did was attack her. One rule for the wealthy GOPer and another for the Democrats – I am so stressed – wish I could go over there and work for Hillary.
All that media shilling for gop will be for nothing in the end. Just like in 2008 and 2012. And the racist pos is much, much worse than mcangry and mittbot.
Manafort is blaming Hillary Clinton for the plagiarism – or rather he is blaming Hillary because Melania is accused of plagiarism – and these were just common words and they are used every day by every person.
bbc too joins the pathetic club. they just changed the original headline from plagiarizing to ‘copying’ Michelle Obama. Their entire live coverage was all about how 9/11 rudy was a strong ‘character witness’ for the derp and how melania ‘smoothing the rough edges’ of the deadbeat.
at least in India, we still have a sensationalist but a confrontational media. western journalism has sunk to the pits.
Our lot have done the same thing. Has Trump been ringing around threatening to sue everyone?
Good morning TOD!
Yes We Can
Good morning Bob. I’ve been having a bit of a rant this morning – I think Hillary won the election last night & I am sure in the future Michelle Obama will be working towards empowering women all over the planet.
Good evening 99,
Agree with you x 2!
Take care!!
hahahaha – Donald is still asleep. He had such a late night he is still asleep. Be great if he were in the White House – looks like the attack will come at 2am & no-one will be able to wake the President. What an excuse of a campaign.
New post.
https://theobamadiary.com/2016/07/19/early-bird-chat-796/
Woke up, clicked on the site to see that we are in an alternate universe; no wait! this shit really happened! So glad that so many who witnessed the stealing sent the word out independent of the GOP shills in the msm.
