Thanksgiving in Florida: sleeveless dresses, flip flops, sunshine and 80%. I hope that everyone had a happy and stress free gathering with the people you love the most.
Happy thanksgiving to the Obama and TOD family. I hope your day turned out wonderfully to be what you expected. I am here in Puerto Rico spending my first Thanksgiving Day on American soil. Right now my friends and I are waiting to experience a bit of Black Friday; we travel home tomorrow.
I hope everyone had a lovely time with loved ones.
Kindest regards to Chips and Danny-the-Boy, to NW for her tireless effort at keeping us informed and entertained. Thank you to all for your contributions in making this post the safest place for PBO supporters.
I was greeted by this heartwarming display on the corner of my street today. Thank you to all of you who did this. Happy Thanksgiving. -H pic.twitter.com/b69mW3Oqbf
Good morning TOD! For those not shopping today, an important read by a conservative writer on how the fake news syndrome is destabilizing our democracy. President Obama has talked about this for awhile now. Not sure why Arapaho hasn’t posted her tweet here but her summary is perfect!
The cumulative effect of attacks on MSM delegitimized MSM altogether, essentially destroying the right's immunity to false information. https://t.co/h6Wk94gHSf
One of the never ending ironies of this election season is the Trumpsters’ belief that their guy is the “strongman” when in fact he is capitulating to both Russia and China. And there is nothing they love better than portraying President Obama as “weak”. Just another sign of Trump’s projection of his own worse qualities on everyone else. But then he could never hope to copy PBO’s steely-eyed glare at Putin.
Since his election win, Trump has talked to Putin more than any other world leader https://t.co/0KiuBvxGoq
I’m sure the first thing Trump did was thank Putin for helping steal this election for him. How many times have Trump call James Comey and the Republicans Governors who sign into law that voter suppression law?
That’s why they love him so! Stupid as fuck. He’s so stupid and ignorant of the way things work, he doesn’t KNOW he’s ripe for the picking. It terrifies me.
My wife wants to go to JC Penny when I get home from work, of course she wants me to go with her which means I’m driving. As if I want to spend a Friday afternoon looking at bathroom rugs and towels. When I was a young man I dreamed of adventure and excitement and travel, now its “Donnie, do you like this color or that color?”
*cough-cough* You will be TRAVELling together to the store. So think of the EXCITEMENT in having your opinion sought and the ADVENTURE of having your choice accepted …. (maybe)! Donnie-boy, it’s all in the perspective.
Hope you and the family all have a great Thanksgiving weekend!
FLOTUS was there with the replacement kids ( her nephews ) to welcome the White House Christmas Tree. The last time FLOTUS will do that. 😦 I am so sad.
Think MSNBC is going to show Mrs. Obama soon, welcoming the holiday tree at the White House, with (as bella said – Ha!) “the replacement kids.” Might be a replay, but hadn’t spotted it earlier myself.
Wow, did not know that. Everyday I am constantly filled with horror as to what’s happening in this beloved country of ours. I had such faith in the American people and I think it was justified only I did not really believe it would be hacked by RUSSIA and that would be ok for Republicans (who used to hate Russia), there would be fake news via FB, and no matter the increase in early voting numbers, millions of Americans would be denied the right to vote due to voter suppression. I feel like I’m in a nightmare that never ends.
My youngest daughter has a personal/business FB blog. She has posted several companies that supported Trump asking others to boycott them. The responses to it is like opening a hornets nest. I am proud of her risking her own business for her principles. She has more activism in her like her Mom than I realized.
The shooting at a youth football game this afternoon was the 349th mass shooting (four or more injured/killed in single incident) of 2016. https://t.co/LprA0Z0ObE
Trump's National Security Advisor @GenFlynn says fear of Muslims is rational and Islam is like cancer… Exactly what the terrorists needed. pic.twitter.com/xd2aAS6KUR
Been there, done that, I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve been followed in a department store or had someone clutch their purse in a department store as I walked by. These men could have so easily been killed by an overzealous policeman. So now we can add “shopping for cheese” as something you can’t do while black.
done my Black Friday shopping. All hair stuff.
Natural hair folks.
Soultanicals – 50% off everything and free shipping
Camille Rose -25% off everything
Shea Moisture -30% off everything (hair, bath, etc) and free shipping
First Lady Michelle Obama looks on as President Barack Obama presents the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC, November 22, 2016.
Oh, I dunno. Because the media’s covering every freakin’ Black Friday sale in the country? Or maybe they don’t want to “damage” their “new” relationship with Trump?
Jacqueline, I noticed how they have moved on from all of the conflicts of interest re Trump. This and the fake news story should be discussed on every media outlet 24/7.
All the electors of the EC should be forced to read this and respond. To my way of thinking, if they vote for him, they condone his blatant unconstitutional behavior…and the Constitution they all pretend to care about, isn’t really that important after all….
“The Constitution lets the electoral college choose the winner. They should choose Clinton.”
There is not. And indeed, there is an especially good reason for them not to nullify what the people have said — the fundamental principle of one person, one vote. We are all citizens equally. Our votes should count equally. And since nothing in our Constitution compels a decision otherwise, the electors should respect the equal vote by the people by ratifying it on Dec. 19.
They didn’t in 1888 — when Tammany Hall ruled New York and segregation was the law of the land. And they didn’t in 2000 — when in the minds of most, the election was essentially a tie. Those are plainly precedents against Hillary Clinton.
But the question today is which precedent should govern today — Tammany Hall and Bush v. Gore, or one person, one vote?
The framers left the electors free to choose. They should exercise that choice by leaving the election as the people decided it: in Clinton’s favor.”
This seems like common sense to me, but, as you well know, common sense isn’t common at all. I often wonder if they watch the appointments that shitgibbon is making or wants to make…and they are as terrified as we are. We can only pray
When I heard this mentioned this morning, I figured that Trump was behind this. We are in for a bumpy ride folks. I will never accept Trump as my President.
President-elect Donald Trump holds stock in the company building the disputed Dakota Access oil pipeline, and pipeline opponents warn that Trump’s investments could affect any decision he makes on the $3.8 billion project as president.
The Obama Diary

Beautiful picture Bob. Thank you Nerdy for bringing us the First Family’s day. Thanksgiving blessings to our TOD family.
Happy Thanksgiving, Jackie!
Thanksgiving in Florida: sleeveless dresses, flip flops, sunshine and 80%. I hope that everyone had a happy and stress free gathering with the people you love the most.
Same as AZ:) We all ate outside tonight…on that patio. Lovely!
What a lovely & thoughtful message from our President, unexpected yet so perfect. I hope you’ve all had a lovely and ful- FILLING day 🙂 🙂
Happy thanksgiving to the Obama and TOD family. I hope your day turned out wonderfully to be what you expected. I am here in Puerto Rico spending my first Thanksgiving Day on American soil. Right now my friends and I are waiting to experience a bit of Black Friday; we travel home tomorrow.
Just noticing this “in touch with modern times” part. Lovely. And he certainly is. (As is VP Joe.)
Late Happy Thanksgiving to all in TODVille!
I hope everyone had a lovely time with loved ones.
Kindest regards to Chips and Danny-the-Boy, to NW for her tireless effort at keeping us informed and entertained. Thank you to all for your contributions in making this post the safest place for PBO supporters.
Americans love President Obama, Trump, not so much.
Oh I’m surprise it’s 33%, what is it to admire about Trump. Really.
It’s that hard core third of the population who cannot be moved by reason or emotion. They’re stuck. I’m glad it’s only that much.
It’s that gaudy, gold Liberace living room that has been in the news:-)
Isn’t it hideous!!!
good morning everyone!
have a great day
Good morning. Hope all of you have a good day.
Good morning all, have a great day, be blessed, help a stranger, love a child
Good Morning TOD! Happy day after Thanksgiving! I’m shopping online today. No crowds for me! 🙂
Good morning, NW and TODville.
My guy. The hero of our age.
Trump is a joke. A wealthy joke.
we have been so very blessed ❤

Trump is in over his head with Russia and China, he has no idea that he’s the main course for this international gangbang.
That’s why they love him so! Stupid as fuck. He’s so stupid and ignorant of the way things work, he doesn’t KNOW he’s ripe for the picking. It terrifies me.
He’d bargain away all of us to get “them” to “like” him. Definitely terrifying.
yes. If anyone is NOT terrified, they SHOULD be!
My wife wants to go to JC Penny when I get home from work, of course she wants me to go with her which means I’m driving. As if I want to spend a Friday afternoon looking at bathroom rugs and towels. When I was a young man I dreamed of adventure and excitement and travel, now its “Donnie, do you like this color or that color?”
lol (((poor Don)))
LMAO.
The things we do for love:)
*cough-cough* You will be TRAVELling together to the store. So think of the EXCITEMENT in having your opinion sought and the ADVENTURE of having your choice accepted …. (maybe)! Donnie-boy, it’s all in the perspective.
Hope you and the family all have a great Thanksgiving weekend!
Good morning TOD ….
Seriously …. bbl …. take care everyone ….
Thanks JER ❤
Soon…
CNN has a very nice collection of photos marking 100 memorable moments in PBO’s presidency! Enjoy!
100 moments from Obama’s presidency http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/11/politics/gallery/obama-presidency/index.html
FLOTUS was there with the replacement kids ( her nephews ) to welcome the White House Christmas Tree. The last time FLOTUS will do that. 😦 I am so sad.
‘the replacement kids’ 🙂
no doubt Malia and Sasha are furious with the public that failed to elect a proper 45.
Think MSNBC is going to show Mrs. Obama soon, welcoming the holiday tree at the White House, with (as bella said – Ha!) “the replacement kids.” Might be a replay, but hadn’t spotted it earlier myself.
Happy Friday, folks!
Ha – scrolling up – just now saw the earlier link from JER.
Maddow had a segment on Wednesday about the last time that there was such a disparity between the popular vote and who was President.
wait for it……..it was the election that ended Reconstruction. I just pursed my lips and went Uh Huh.
Wow, did not know that. Everyday I am constantly filled with horror as to what’s happening in this beloved country of ours. I had such faith in the American people and I think it was justified only I did not really believe it would be hacked by RUSSIA and that would be ok for Republicans (who used to hate Russia), there would be fake news via FB, and no matter the increase in early voting numbers, millions of Americans would be denied the right to vote due to voter suppression. I feel like I’m in a nightmare that never ends.
OMG
Dems could possibly add another Senate seat still in La.
THERE”S AN APP FOR THAT!! 🙂

Bravo! You did good and so did she. Principles mean something.
FYI ….
Yes, Putin’s war on Ukraine continues ….

Most excellent ….
So horrendous.
Never, ever forget ….
Take care, everyone ….
Thanks for all the info, Bob – and the autumn colors! Enjoy your day.

Holy sh*t, what in the hell is wrong with people. Omg, what next.????

Would it be wrong if there was mass resignations by experts all across the federal govt demanding Birther divest from his business or they walk away?
I’d like to see some kind of mass action, push back before the electoral votes are done.
This thing is driving me bonkers.

fiercest first lady ever ❤
Oh, I dunno. Because the media’s covering every freakin’ Black Friday sale in the country? Or maybe they don’t want to “damage” their “new” relationship with Trump?
We’re doomed.
or maybe the media conglomerates are all owned by guys who expect to benefit from a DT presidency
Jacqueline, I noticed how they have moved on from all of the conflicts of interest re Trump. This and the fake news story should be discussed on every media outlet 24/7.
Yes. Incompetent, self serving MSM….they ENDANGER US by not giving the people this information!
