Here’s my take > I suspect the male of colour didn’t want to shake hands with him. Would you? He was the only one who retained his ‘prop’ in his right hand and didn’t look at the idiot. 🙂 🙂
/waving back with a grin/
I am as fine as five pence, ty, Ml! I trust you are too.
I watched it a couple of times and the first time I just saw the ‘no shake’; second look and I realized my guy didn’t beg for a shake like all the others. Frankly, I am shocked that the idiot was able to discern that a handshake wouldn’t be welcomed, and to keep his icky hand to himself.
When you look at the video carefully, you will note that the Black man moves the “thing” to his right hand so that he could avoid shaking hands with a Jackass. Brilliant!
The Drumpf administration lies. Can you imagine if someone shouts out during the State of the Union address when he lies? It would be non-stop. I want to see the Dems sitting on their hands like the Repugs did during most of PBO’s time in office.
Wonderful. Many more cities need to be lining up to do the same. All of these videos from various groups and individuals help us to remember that his work was not in vain and many of the things he implemented to improve lives and communities will continue for years to come no matter who is in the White House.
It occurs to me the media is now doing what the GOP wants – discussing crowd sizes and the orange’s ridiculous speeches instead of watching what is happening in congress. I think it is still be orchestrated from outside of the US. While everyone concentrates on the stupidest of lies – easily proven as lies, the evil is happening through appointments and legislation. There are no press conferences that tell anyone what the administration is planning/plotting.
The media should also be discussing trumps order raising interest on new home buyesr and low income mortgage holders. This is really important. A lot of his supporters will be affected by this move.
…. which is why THIS is just another statement of the enormous strength of character of our “Forever” President & First Lady …..

Thanks for posting this. I was one of the ones feeling a bit sorry for her. Good to know the possibly illegal immigrant is a lying bitch who is all in on this mess.
I agree thanks for posting this, I have always said that I will not sink to the right wing conservatives level and attack Barron Trump, even though they had no problem going after Malia and Sasha. But for me Melania will get the same amount of respect from me that the right wing conservatives gave Michelle Obama…..NONE.
SMH…Mrs. Drumpf is in denial. I wish she would leave him but he would probably have her deported. 😀 I saw a meme where the Tiffany box that she gave Mrs.O had a sign it it saying “Help” LOL
This can’t be seen – and understood – enough. Because it’s all reality TV to him, just like Trump forgets he’s mic’d, he forgets he’s on camera, blowing kisses to J Edgar Comey.
When I saw this, it literally turned by stomach. Trump is flagrantly flaunting this whole fiasco because he believes he is now completely UNTOUCHABLE. He will violate every law and norm because he knows he can. We are witnessing a complete invasion of our government and it’s GROTESQUE.
As all of you know, I posted here months ago my disbelief that a guy, who’d stand his ground the way Comey did against Gonzales, Card & ultimately GWB, would actually support traitorous scum like Trump.
As unlikely as it probably is, it would be cosmic karma if Comey has been leading a “sting” operation against Trump & Co.
The other reason this notion of a ‘sting’ is the way President Obama reacted to Comey’s release of the letter that clearly destroyed HRC’s lead days before the election.
Bob
This makes the most sense. I love all your post but this one turned on my thinking cap. I was feeling so sad about the state of our country. I sure hope Comey’s past behavior is the indicator of hope for his present actions. His core is that of a decent human being. President Obama isn’t wrong about him. He wouldn’t leave the American people in harm’s way. The sacrifice of the presidency that Hillary made will be one for the team.
Charges will be filed today and hopefully everything will align for the good of the American people. I am encouraging myself! Thanks for being a beacon of hope with your posts.
Yes, I never understood Comey’s rationale for turning on Hillary after standing up to the Bush junta. There is so much misdirection taking place, up is down and down is up.
the justification you write here is exactly what I have been using to calm down my friends who believe only what we are currently allowed to see/read/hear and overlook the need to preserve an investigation of this magnitude.
I tell them that if I am proved wrong, then I will sincerely apologize to them
I noticed the photos shown upon claiming the biggest crowd for Trump were way closer to the Capitol Building where the crowds were similar. I also noticed that Trump said the close up crowd sitting near the swearing in area held 250,000 by itself. That should be an easily disputed number.
Dear Mr. Putin, Let’s Play Chess
JANUARY 17, 2017 ~ PATRIBOTICS
PART ONE: PAWN TAKES QUEEN
I have an overarching theory of Russia’s attack on America and the West. Here it is.
There have not been a series of attacks on America and Europe by Vladimir Putin. There has been one single operation; it is the same operation.
By 2008, possibly even earlier, according to John Schindler, a National Security expert formerly at the NSA, Russia had placed moles in the highest levels of US counter-intelligence. I take this as my starting-point, because all the subsequent facts bear it out.
Mr. Putin always wanted to use the strength of the West as a lever to attack it, because Russia is weak and poor. So he did, and he used a very old-fashioned and effective method. Spies inside the IC. He also believes in propaganda and mind-games. He uses them on the West, he uses them on Russians, in Russia.
Hillary Clinton correctly noted that Putin rigged his own election in 2011. This, apparently, is when he started to hate her.
By the 2012 election, Russia’s desire to interfere with American democracy was already there, but it as yet didn’t have the tools to succeed in that aim. I deliberately omit some of the timeline here in order to get to the bigger points in the story, but I will return to it later.
Russian moles placed inside the NSA recruited Edward Snowden. A letter between the FSB in Cuba and SENAIN in Quito held in a file marked ‘Assange’ in London, dated 4th April 2013, the day before Snowden sent his only email on legalities, April 5th 2013, and before Snowden took his uppermost level documents during the rest of the month of April, proves conclusively that Mr. Snowden is a Russian agent who acted on instructions from Moscow. After Snowden fled to Hong Kong, he escaped from there by an Ecuadorean travel document arranged by Julian Assange, and tried to get to Cuba.
Snowden is a low-level IT idiot. He had help taking what he took from the NSA. I recommend the NSA review their case files and pick up the Russian moles within their agency. Snowden used stolen credentials, but it is almost certain that he received a piece of removable media like a memory card from his Russian handlers. He took military secrets. And by “he” I mean the FSB.
More at the link. Connect the dots. Follow the power…
Or, James Comey’s Counterintelligence FBI vs Rudy Giuliani’s NY Criminal FBI
There are three parts to this theory, like a good play, and narratively, the next section ought to be about your spy ring in the University of Cambridge, your hacking of Facebook and Twitter and your propaganda wars across Europe, but as I have learned from you one must play to the audience, and I think American readers are mostly terrified that Director Comey will throw America under the bus and cover up your coup.
Yes! It’s all clear. I like what you are saying. Our dear President Obama traveled this world over and he did not leave us without hope. We need to believe it always.
Thanks for this, DF. It’s fascinating on several levels. How did you come across it? It’s a blog that was just set up, has this one post, hasn’t put any info on the About or Contact pages. Wild.
Trump Begins The End
Trump is a symptom of something much bigger and more fundamental going on in the world. So are the people behind Brexit in Great Britain. They are not driving the change, they are reacting to the change. They are not showing the way forward, they are making desperate attempts to cling to the past, a past that is gone forever.
The world is in the relatively early stages of an almost inevitable transition to what can be best understood as a new 21st-century civilization. Relatively early — meaning roughly one-third of the way through. And almost inevitable — meaning it can be derailed if we make some catastrophic political choices.
snip/
I think Trump ultimately is going to do America and the world a service by becoming the vehicle that will finally take down right-wing conservative politics for a generation or two. He is getting the entire Republican conservative establishment to buy into his regime. He is creating an administration that is blatantly all about rule by — and for — billionaires, sold out to the oil and carbon industries, and celebrating an out-of-control corporate capitalism. It will be a caricature of conservative policies. In short order he will completely and irrevocably alienate all the growing political constituencies of the 21st century: the Millennial Generation, people of color, educated professionals, women. He’ll eventually do the same for a significant number of more moderate Republicans. And does anyone out there really think Trump will do anything for the white working class that got him elected? Watch as repealing Obamacare blows up in his face.
I think the backlash will be fast and furious. And it won’t just be Trump that goes down — it will be large swaths of conservative Republicans who will be almost helpless to stop Trump or distance themselves from him. They will pay the price for creating the conditions that created him. I think the next 4 to 8 years are going to see a serious sea change in politics — to the left, not the right. The analogy is closer to what happened to the conservative Republicans coming out of the 1930s — they were out of power for the next 50 years.
Goes to the Topic of “We’re Going to Be OK” VERY GOOD READ and worth thinking about! 🙂 From this piece:
Most of all, for those who supported President Obama, stay hopeful. I truly believe that the politics and policies that President Obama helped usher in will prevail in the end. In the big-picture view of history, the brief Trump reign will be seen as a difficult but necessary step in the massive transition between one economic period to another.
Obama’s decade of work will be seen, in the decades to come, as the truly enduring foundation. He laid the groundwork for what will certainly become the all-digital, fully global, sustainable civilization of the 21st century.
Good morning, folks. I have a question. Do ya’ll notice that, all of a sudden, cable news journalists suddenly care about reporting facts and holding people accountable? They didn’t bother to do that during the last republican administration, and during Obama’s administration, they actually MISreported on purpose! But now that Drumpf has declared war on the media, NOW all of a sudden they want to perk up and start acting like real journalists. Interesting.
…Republicans feared him and everything that he stood for.
So when Barack Hussein Obama was overwhelmingly elected as our country’s first African-American president in November of 2008, Republicans vowed to do everything in their power to ensure his failure. Because if he truly succeeded, it meant that all African-Americans could grow up thinking they could one day be president. Not only African-Americans but other people of color too! Barack Obama’s success meant that any child of color who grew up with a single parent, whose family was supported by welfare, who went to school with student loans, who attended higher education thanks to the success of affirmative action, that this student could also grow up to be president just like Barack Obama. That was a dangerous seed to plant in the minds of our country’s youth and to squash this idea Republicans tried to ensure that Obama’s presidency would be so disastrous that White America would never again even consider a president of color.
For me, the most important thing about Barack Obama getting elected President was that he “un-shackled” the minds of many people. That was his greatest gift, he wiped away the word “can’t”.
If you’re not following Simon Rosenberg, do. He’s been an outspoken supporter for PBO’s policies forever. His articles on what is happening with Trump’s policy shift and realignment are illuminating.
This must be on Putin’s orders. PBO and Merkel were very close. Now she can’t even get a response from the Trump team. OUTRAGEOUS act of arrogance and disrespect.
I am not surprised about his lust for TV. The clown was in the entertainment industry for year, on and off camera I may add. He loves the spotlight, literally and figuratively.
STOP AND LOOK AT THIS!!! CHECK OUT THIS PHOTO! This is from the inauguration dance…LOOK AT TRUMP! This is NOT how you dance with someone…especially not a member of the US Navy that you oversee! THIS IS GROSS….that’s her BOSS!
Hi, df – I watched a few minutes of the “balls,” with the sound muted … and caught this act. When I saw how he was acting, I was a thousand percent sickened, all the way in the Midwest. He ruined what used to be a fine tradition, one the younger service members could have recalled down the road. What’s next for him to ruin? (Don’t answer that, please.)
I know there’s a leave-Melania-alone crowd out there, but I am not about to. She’s not an innocent victim here. She’s been slinging his hash for years. Ditto Ivanka.

Evening TOD folks! Fight hell yes!
?
Damn, Trump
I would have done the same thing that black man did. Bravo to him.
Me too. He kept on moving and had the scepter on his right side. LOL Love it. 😀
Here’s my take > I suspect the male of colour didn’t want to shake hands with him. Would you? He was the only one who retained his ‘prop’ in his right hand and didn’t look at the idiot. 🙂 🙂
Hi vc ::waves frantically:: How are you doing?? Yes, i agree it was a very slick move on his part. Subtle but clear.
/waving back with a grin/
I am as fine as five pence, ty, Ml! I trust you are too.
I watched it a couple of times and the first time I just saw the ‘no shake’; second look and I realized my guy didn’t beg for a shake like all the others. Frankly, I am shocked that the idiot was able to discern that a handshake wouldn’t be welcomed, and to keep his icky hand to himself.
Good Morning VC and TODVille.
When you look at the video carefully, you will note that the Black man moves the “thing” to his right hand so that he could avoid shaking hands with a Jackass. Brilliant!
Good morning, NCLB. I could shake that man’s hand for a) not going against his principles, and b) doing it so ‘subtly’. 🙂
Morning, TOD! We are alive…and that’s good!
As President, Trump still should have held out his hand. Shame on him.
I know the Obamas were obligated to shake hands but I bet they got on that helicopter and broke out the heavy duty hand sanitizer.
2nd time in 50 years he’s been anywhere near a church & people of religion acknowledge him? Says as much about them as about the racist.
The AME pastor was not having it.
I started crying again…I suspect that these waves of tears will continue to come over me when I least expect them to. I miss him deeply.
Me too DF.
This hurts. I wouldn’t feel quite so badly if Hillary had won…but I would still miss him. Having the fascist in office is almost too much to bear.
It’s just plainly awful. No way around it.
It is so hard. Nothing feels real these days.
What a piece of $hi# Putin’s Puppet is.
Can hardly wait till he’s no longer President …
Assange can take his leaks and shove it where the sun shines on the least.
HRC should sue jackass Comey … wishful thinking I know *sigh*
Have a good evening everyone.
For real … and real soon, now ….

Love the fact they’re all unleashed. And thanks for sharing the two new twitter handles, Bob.
Me too, and, my pleasure, Jacqueline …
I didn’t read the article; am simply retweeting.
The Drumpf administration lies. Can you imagine if someone shouts out during the State of the Union address when he lies? It would be non-stop. I want to see the Dems sitting on their hands like the Repugs did during most of PBO’s time in office.
This is how we get hacked, because trusting Americans will follow anything that makes ’em laugh … I know I did! 🙂
I’m not on twitter, but I was tempted to join up, just to forward this photo of an onion in a Ziploc bag. 🙂
You should join … hey, the onion needs you! Ha.
🙂
Definitely join, Susanne, and follow the 1/2 onion 🙂
I just followed Half An Onion. LOL
I’m with ya! LOL
under the heading..”Couldn’t happen too nicer folks”
just when i think that i have no more tears left….
I miss President Obama…
Wonderful. Many more cities need to be lining up to do the same. All of these videos from various groups and individuals help us to remember that his work was not in vain and many of the things he implemented to improve lives and communities will continue for years to come no matter who is in the White House.
Let Me Think about this for a moment….
It occurs to me the media is now doing what the GOP wants – discussing crowd sizes and the orange’s ridiculous speeches instead of watching what is happening in congress. I think it is still be orchestrated from outside of the US. While everyone concentrates on the stupidest of lies – easily proven as lies, the evil is happening through appointments and legislation. There are no press conferences that tell anyone what the administration is planning/plotting.
boy howdy– you are telling it all right here.
The media should also be discussing trumps order raising interest on new home buyesr and low income mortgage holders. This is really important. A lot of his supporters will be affected by this move.
“Propaganda Barbie” (I might have named it “P T Barnum’s Love Child Barbie,” but maybe that’s just me):
Interesting …

Thanks for posting that clip of Mrs Dump being interviewed. I was feeling sorry for her, and now I just pity her.

On a personal note, oh please clothing gods, make Trump stop wearing that awful, garish red tie.
Thank you, and goodnight TODville! Sweet dreams to all, hopefully!
Goodnight Jacqueline and TOD ….

Nah Jacqueline – let him continue to look absolutely and continuously stupid.
This can’t be seen – and understood – enough. Because it’s all reality TV to him, just like Trump forgets he’s mic’d, he forgets he’s on camera, blowing kisses to J Edgar Comey.
Nauseating. I can hardly believe this is actually happening in America.
When I saw this, it literally turned by stomach. Trump is flagrantly flaunting this whole fiasco because he believes he is now completely UNTOUCHABLE. He will violate every law and norm because he knows he can. We are witnessing a complete invasion of our government and it’s GROTESQUE.
Of course, I agree with your every word. Today, I shall spend time looking for hopeful signs from We The People, waking up, daily. Hopefully.
In formation.

Just had to return to post this ….

I was wondering why there was so much legal activity taking place on the part of the DOJ/FBI and all the spy agencies AFTER the election, now I know.
