Love how PBO is *schooling* our so-called MSM, most of whom were children when the last same-party transfer of Presidency happened, so they HAVE NO CLUE on how this opportunity works.

Oh my, never thought I’d see Chips’ favorite word featured in a tweet (though I’m tech-challenged, perhaps this is the common usage for this term, but still made me laugh).
LOVE you, Chips and Danny — and of course, NerdyW, who tirelessly and spectacularly keeps us all informed every single day).
Sw, I was just about to post something about AMK’s birthday, though I think he’s taking a break from us these day. Thank you for remembering someone who’s been such a valued voice on TOD. To AMK, HAPPY BIRTHDAY and may this day bring you much happiness and the added bonus of a Tuesday HRC victory to celebrate!!! We miss you!

Well I read where US military has been asked to turn off Russian infrastructure if they meddle with elections on Tuesday? Whoa!
That is the new Cold War I guess? It’s definitely back…
From 1950-1991 it was called a Cold War Bc both sides were threatening each other with nuclear destruction. It never materialized Bc of deterrent.
The same, I guess, can now be said about today… But you swap nukes with cyber warfare.
Morning everyone. Already breaking the law in AZ. Yesterday was the last day to vote early. Mail in ballots for these people would have prevented this travesty from happening to them!
“If I haven’t stopped fighting at 100 years old, then neither should you.”
Wow— this letter to @POTUS from Grace Hardison, a 100-year old black woman who was a plaintiff in the NAACP lawsuit of NC's voter purge: pic.twitter.com/8XopqwpAda
Yes! We're pretty excited to be voting Hillary Clinton! Right on our issues, fit, prepared, qualified & yes she happens to be a woman. VOTE pic.twitter.com/cqyOc74Je6
She is 102, was born before women had a right to vote, she's wearing white to acknowledge those before her! Proud to be on her side! VOTE! pic.twitter.com/Op3wosCDaT
After long night/day of travelling, saddened to hear about events in Turkey. Arrest of @hdpdemirtas and fellow MPs cause for great concern pic.twitter.com/v3FgubymgO
Btw I Am monitoring these battleground polls that say the race is tightening??
I do notice, however, a huge amount of undecided voters with only three days left…
For example: one poll yesterday in NH had Clinton up 2 40-38???
How in the hell can you have 22% undecided with three days left?
That’s the way all the polls are now… Even the national polls.
My sense is, pollsters are making undecideds to make it seem close all over the nation.
I think that is the same lifesize poster of Obama that was at the 2009 Inaugural ball my daughter and I went to. She got us tickets to it and gifted me mine as my 2008 Xmas gift. I had gotten two Inauguration tickets for us in my local Senator’s lottery. Unfortunately our ball was not one of the ones the Obamas dropped into so instead I had my photo taken next to the Obama poster.
This meme going around that AAs aren’t voting in great numbers is pure JUNK. What may be happening is early vote may be down but that’s due to VOTER SUPPRESSION.
But it’s not over till it’s over.
To sum up: In last 24 hours black EV turnout in NC and Fla seems to hitting/surpassing 2012. Hispanic early voting in Fla and NV off charts
This meme going around that AAs aren’t voting in great numbers is pure JUNK. What may be happening is early vote may be down but that’s due to VOTER SUPPRESSION.
So this is kind of cute. While most of us were tearing our hair out over the FBI and Hillary Clinton’s emails last weekend, Donald Trump’s campaign quietly released a plan to privatize new infrastructure development in the United States. I know, that’s not very sexy on the surface. But given that the man might be president come Tuesday, it seems worth remarking upon. Because it could mean we’ll all be paying to drive on more roads built for profit.
Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Saturday morning. Congrats arapaho415, on being first this morning.
Nerdy, thanks so much for helping Ms. Chips and the sacrifices you are making for us TOD’ers. 💫🙏👌👊❤
To all, I hope that you’re able to summons all your fortitude, moxie, and strength, to take on all challenges you encounter today. ❤ ❤ ❤
Thank God that President Obama is still the President of The United States of America. ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆
Looking at West West Week, where the Obamas were giving out candy to the kids, I had to laugh when FLOTUS told the two little kids dress up as President Obama, “You’re so handsome, more handsome then the real President”. A big smile came on POTUS face.

The Red & Black, in partnership with the Center for the Study of Global Issues, conducted a survey of University of Georgia students, faculty and staff’s political beliefs and attitudes in conjunction with the 2016 presidential election. More than 4,300 people responded to our survey. Our analysis describes information about the data we found.
A Red & Black/GLOBIS Center Survey, conducted Oct. 3 through Oct. 9, found Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton led Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump 58 percent to about 22 percent among more than 4,300 University of Georgia student, faculty and staff respondents. It also found that race, religion and gender — and the intersectionality of the three — had an influence on vote choice and policy attitudes.
While both men and women supported Clinton at higher percentages than they supported Trump, women supported the Democratic candidate at higher rates — 64 percent — compared to 50 percent for men. Additionally, women supported Trump at lower rates compared to men — 18 percent to 25 percent.
The demographic group found to have the most support for Trump was men in fraternities, with 45 percent supporting the Republican candidate compared to 32 percent supporting Clinton. Though women in sororities and non-Greek women both supported Clinton over Trump, non-Greek women did so at higher rates, with 60 percent support versus 48 support among Greek women.
GM, TOD ohana.
Happy, relieved and thrilled to report that the last stone in my family’s voting block was set in place today when my millennial nephew cast his vote this morning for HRC. He was eager to vote for PBO in 2012, the first year that he was eligible to vote, but had been dragging his heels in this one. He was saying all of the stupid things that males in this age group was saying about voting to the horror, dismay, and out-right anger of his very active voting-in-every-election family. I even accused him of being a misogynist (to tell you the truth he does have some of these tendencies) and of being under the influence of a “friend” who fits many of the demographics of the carnival barker’s tribe. Anyway, I got a text, photo included, to let auntie know he had voted early and voted for HRC. Whew!
Important to remember how public polling under polls Dems, numbers from 2012 election,especially at the end of the campaign when there is so much garbage polling to drive a narrative.
Reminder of where public polling error occurred in 2012. Colorado/Nevada, but also Michigan which always has public poll problems. RCP data: pic.twitter.com/FOFTHeheBe
This is an army! Dems. know that victory requires hard work, perseverance, focus and taking nothing for granted. God bless their efforts and keep them safe from hurt, harm, or danger.
As LL used to say, I have an essay brewing that I will post after the election, on Facebook if it is too long.)
Have a great day everyone; we are almost at the end of our long national nightmare.
Trump just proposed ending all federal clean energy development
He’d end all research on solar, wind, efficiency, batteries, clean cars, and climate science, too.
So moving from a beautiful young girl and a wonderful mom. We must stop the bullies in all the ways we can.
after being bullied on the bus this week about her skin color, i decided a self-love exercise was needed. black and proud. all ways, always. pic.twitter.com/7ispZLB6IT
Sitting here crying. So sad that she and so many others are bullied in this way. She is perfect just as she is. So thankful that she has the type of mother who can help her to navigate through stupidit, but sad that it is necessary.
Yes, that’s how it struck me, too. We probably all know the sting of bullying, but the bond they share and the strength to develop confidence will hopefully help her face these ugly taunts.
David Pecker, the CEO of the company that owns The National Enquirer is a close ally of Donald Trump. Their alliance has come up on several occasions during Trump’s run for the White House. In August, Pecker paid $150,000 to Karen McDougal, a 1998 Playboy Playmate of the Year, to cover up her story of the consensual affair she had with Donald Trump in 2006, according to The Wall Street Journal.
GOP has also moved polling places off of major college campuses, making it much more difficult for students to vote since they have no cars https://t.co/lsQDvWhEUW

Good Saturday morning, TODville.
Love how PBO is *schooling* our so-called MSM, most of whom were children when the last same-party transfer of Presidency happened, so they HAVE NO CLUE on how this opportunity works. (And that most recent transfer happened after the Iran-Contra “I am not a potted plant” hearings which inescapable over the airwaves — just a taste of what the OJ-Nicole Simpson spectacle would bring.)
They’ve heard the term *coattails,” but have never actually seen it happened.
“Obama now endorsing all the way down to school board races…”

Good Morning, arapaho415…congrats on first!
The Hillary Clinton GOTV rallies are upbeat and motivating…looking for a landslide!!!
Thanks, SBG.
Something to keep in mind if you happen to catch pundit bloviating:
Positivity that keeps us motivated. 🙂 Thanks, arapaho415

Good Saturday, Nerdy…TOD Family!!!
I believe today is amk’s birthday (day after the Kenyan was first elected). Hopefully he checks in or is at least lurking.
HAPPY BIRTH DAY, AMK! HAVE A GREAT DAY.
Happy day from down under amk – things is looking good – do drop by
