GM, TOD ohana.
Good morning, CEB, and congrats on the gold! There is so much comfort in knowing that our Forever President Barack Obama is still here with us. Grateful to have lived in the Time of Obama.
So many powerful moments at last night’s Grammys….and oh yes, Beyoncé was robbed and even Adele knew it.
THANK YOU, NW. Love Adele but YES, Beyonce was ROBBED in broad daylight. UGH.
But Bruno……my goodness.
Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Monday morning. Congrats CEB, on being first this morning.
Nerdy, thanks so much for helping Ms. Chips and for the sacrifices you’re making for us TOD’ers. 💫🙏👌👊❤
To all, I hope you start your day with an optimistic, self-confident, and upbeat disposition today. ❤ ❤ ❤
I am thankful to God that I lived to witness one of the greatest President of The United States of America in President Barack Hussein Obama ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆
AWESOMEnessssssss….
this explains why WE blk folks continue to fight in the year 2017…this explains why we still have Trumpism and there is a Trump in the White House…this explains why the DNC wants to abandon its true base in favor of a unicorn wish of white workers….
there have been numerous protests…proclaiming that trumpism and his EO re: the Muslim ban is not who America is….i beg to differ..this is exactly who America is….Jeff Sessions…was just confirmed to be AG…Bannon sits at the right hand of the Presidency…
i think that until we acknowledge that this is who America is…we will continue to fight these battles…
I do believe that we can change…that we do not have to continue on this path…that we can strive to be the best that we can be…but we have to first acknowledge who we are…NUFF SAID
I so agree Sheila. As an old white woman I can’t say that I know all that you feel, but I can say I believe we are better with everyone. I am so scared for what this is doing to us all.
At church yesterday I found out the material that will be used for lent is about white privilege. Can’t wait to get the material and find out what the discussions will be about.
Good Morning Everyone.
Nerdy, thank you.
(((((((((((((((((((Chips)))))))))))))
Dudette, missing, thinking about you. (((((((((((((((Hugs))))))))))))
Here is wishing everyone a blessed day.
This is VP Biden’s Nat Sec guy. It’s a very good thread but this one popped out at me:
what is SIG
It normally stands for Senior Interagency Group (Intelligence) but in this case he’s arguing that Bannon doesn’t appear to have a conventional inter-agency set-up so not sure how he’s using it here.
thanks
Um, this seems very weird.
I just sent my son a message about this. He’s in the Pentagon today so he won’t see it until this evening but I’ll be interested to get his reply. 😯
OMG, Donna, I do remember now you saying that this is your son’s friend.
Wondering what kind of atmosphere Trump is creating at Mar-a-Lago that so thoroughly undermines security protocol. It’s astonishing.
BTW we are in serious trouble. Every single American should be terrified that Trump is at the helm of our National Security.
What’s even more scarier, is that the people surrounding him appear to be equally as dense. There has to be someone in the group to have a spine. Even with teenagers, when they are out, and the others start to misbehave, one level-headed kid has to be the one to stop them and say this is wrong. I have always preached this message to my son. It is terrifying that we are just at the mercy of these incompetents and a power hungry, oft cowardly GOP.
We are, indeed, in trouble.
“There has to be someone in the group to have a spine.” – This is why there is so much leaking coming out of that WH. They know he is nuts but they are hoping he will get with the program and some sense of sanity will prevail. I think Ivanka is the only one that can get to him. Hopefully she will be there in time to say, “don’t blow up the world daddy”. We can only hope and pray….!!!!
I don’t trust her either.
I don’t either. She is preoccupied with protecting her father and their brand above all else.
I have little confidence in her. You would think by now with all hell breaking loose, she would have tried to talk to him. She and her husband, both. There is a strange dynamic in that family. And the wife, my lord. A partner is supposed to have the other’s ears. Very strange people.
With you so much on this Africa— something very off about this family dynamic.
Don’t you also love how this moron goes to great lengths to explain everything you need to know about America’s national weapons security apparatus? GAH.
And clear he knows not what he talks about.
❤
Truly enjoyed the Grammy Awards last night …
Just heard one fun thing on MSNBC – Former Canadian PM Kim Campbell was being interviewed and she said “President Agent Orange’s” (well, she said president Trump) so-called (<<< I added that part, too) trade policies "are 20th Century." Ha!
And then l flipped to something else, because MSNBC showed the Nazi Stephen Miller spewing lies from the White House yesterday and I can't do that.
Real classy — not!
Knoller finally gets a chance to provide his “timeline tally” on a proper target.
Or maybe in the middle of a golden shower?
OMG…
Still doing his hair. We can all get blown to smitherines while BLOTUS is still doing his hair.
Not far from his ugly mind, I’m sure!!!
This is a dick move that some executives to pull to show that they are in control and to put the other person at a disadvantage. PM Trudeau is young but he also has a temper. Hope he does not take any shit from 45.
JHC
So Ivanka is a member of his staff. Oh just imagine the right wing B.S. if Malia Obama were setting in a meeting like that. OMG. Anyone want to know who is disrespecting the office of the president, it’s Trump, no one but Trump.
oh how very interesting that they put lil miss Ivanka next to PM Trudeau. So effing transparent. Why is she in all these meetings, wtf is her “position” exactly?
Where is the concern about our security when we watch 45 and his staff publicly discussing what should be dealt with in a secure location on a secure device?!?!?!? Where is the outcry about the whole Mar a Lago deal? He claims it’s his private residents but who rents rooms/sells memberships to visit a *private* residence?!?!?!? How much has he bilked US taxpayers for with his weekly visits there? And him being exempt from having conflicts of interest is a bunch of bull that he is exploiting.
But emails were a big deal all last year.
Same.
BLOOP!
So funny. Even the discount retailers don’t want the b—-.
Nobody wants any part of them. I saw an interview where any elderly woman in New York was in Nordstrom and did not even want to touch an item of hers, can’t remember if it was a purse or something. This has got to eat them to the soul, and I hope it does. Just the sheer rejection.
GA AT2.
Have to disagree with you.
They’re living high off the hog (taxpayer dollars), laughing all the way to the bank, think they (literally) rule the world.
There isn’t a single meeting that happens without some sibling or in-law attending.
Oh, definitely, they are grifting off the high rollers, which is indeed abhorrent. Certainly we see what’s going on with fat cats, whether in D.C. or at his Florida home. No doubt.
But I take a small solace from ordinary people, who refuse to bank roll them in whatever small way they can. Because from what I gather, if little people were not refusing to buy daughter’s products, I doubt if the stores would be doing away with them. That’s the perspective from where I am coming with that comment.
Agree Arapaho. The loss of business from the clothing and other lines is more of an ego issue than financial. They are and will continue to make a fortune off the presidency. BUT it is great that while everything FLOTUS wore sold out immediately, no one wants their garbage. Hope it hits them repeatedly.
In their case, about the sheer rejection, all I can say is: Yay!
She’s not worried. That’s why she’s being included in meetings with foreign dignitaries…to discuss “opportunities”.
was posted earlier
Geesh!
Not even into you like that, Birther!
❤ Canadian PM!
That statement from the senior admin official that Flynn has no plans to resign, etc., is the first step in a resignation of firing. This kind of denial always precedes the event. I remember Watergate and other scandals. And this is a big one, although not quite admitted yet.
Hello TOD.
I know that a Picture, frozen at a moment may mean something else.
This Photo just made my Afternoon.
TOD, Rocks!
hahaha!!! That’s wonderful! I can only imagine that he would have rather been anywhere else but there.
He can keep it closed for the next 4 years as far as I’m concerned.
Same.
I really regret now having gone when the Obamas lived there. Sigh.
…not having gone…..!!
Here’s the Impeach Now. The other posted here was Resist.
He learned from the Father.
Truly sad.
More than likely, father molested him, too.
OMG
Trigger happy people will get people killed. YIKES!
Nerdy Wonka, maybe not your best friend, but missing someone with some dam sense.
Insecure, incompetent dweeb.
Low-key means that he is way out of his league. He doesn’t want to embarrass himself. 🙂
Seriously, I don’t know whether to laugh or punch something
President Trump humiliated himself in front of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by suggesting that the northern border is not secure and lying about the size of Electoral College win.
http://www.politicususa.com/2017/02/13/trump-humiliated-front-canadian-pm-justin-trudeau-entire-world.html
This sounds about right! It’s total chaos in the WH.
???
With this lawless bunch, I really don’t believe much of anything until I see it happen. Great that he is not keynoting this event, but Birther has not made a single, solitary comment about Flynn. Until I see him completely out, I will believe. Bannon is still sitting here, despite all the push back.
I guessing he lost his security clearance
That was a bigger, classier putdown than T has any idea. Trudeau knows what he is doing. He will be the voice of moral authority for all of us. Fortunately, he is right next door.
A Judge.
I am sure that This is Not the end.
I hear he’s planning to go there AGAIN this weekend!!!! How much is it costing taxpayers as he is being enriched each time? Not to mention the problems he is creating with our national security.
Ha ha ha! “West Wing Thunderdome”! 🙂 🙂
[Interesting read.]
The Spy Revolt Against Trump Begins
Intelligence Community pushes back against a White House it considers leaky, untruthful and penetrated by the Kremlin
[…..] What’s going on was explained lucidly by a senior Pentagon intelligence official, who stated that “since January 20, we’ve assumed that the Kremlin has ears inside the SITROOM,” meaning the White House Situation Room, the 5,500 square-foot conference room in the West Wing where the president and his top staffers get intelligence briefings. “There’s not much the Russians don’t know at this point,” the official added in wry frustration.

From now on, this is how I reference Trump #Birther45*
Please, If you agree, Join me and Tweet that as well.
Thanks TODville Community. #Liar45* is equally great. It’s 2 characters shorter.
I’ve already tweeted #Birther45*
