Thank you, President Obama.
Meanwhile,
Over at PA Avenue, the lies continue, this one with potential consequences:
Lock His Ass Up.
But is *this* true????
Then again, Petraeus should be in jail right now too. Is it okay for former generals to commit treasonous acts and not be punished when others would be under the jail for much less?
GE SWBG.
Yeah, FBI definitely has a GOP bias.
Seeing more postings to this effect
Congratulations, Africa!
Repeating my tweet from previous post since what is going down now is worse than Watergate:
GA Judith.
Posted this yesterday in response to Bobfr:
BTW, who is the sketch in your tweet?
in response to this…
GA arapaho415.
I have no doubt that the “press conference” today was for the purpose of distracting the media and us from other things that are going on…like deploying the cruise missile(s) and the fact that there is a Russian spy ship that started off the coast of CT and has now moved south and is off the coast of VA.
=====
“RUSSIAN SPY SHIP HEADED SOUTH, NOW OFF VIRGINIA”
http://abc7ny.com/news/russian-spy-ship-headed-south-now-off-virginia/1758294/
—–
NEW LONDON, Connecticut (WABC) — The Russian spy ship that was hovering off the coast of New London, Connecticut, about 30 miles from a U.S. Navy submarine base, is on the move.
A US official said the Viktor Leonov started heading south, and by Thursday morning, it was 75 miles northeast of Norfolk, Virginia.
It is believed the ship will continue heading further south, still about 30 miles from the shoreline. US territorial waters extend 12 miles from shore, so the vessel is well into international waters.
Its current path will likely take it past Kings Bay, Georgia, the other main Navy sub base on the East Coast.
=====
Or that 45 signed a bill undoing the Obama coal mining rule…
Or the trademark that China granted to him after he became president and after his reversal on the one China…
But a lot of the focus right now is on the loony press conference.
China doing this is very normal, they deal with many corrupt governments around the world (mostly “third world”), since there is no accountability over there they are just adding one more corrupt govt to their list of nations and doing what they have always done.
So the US shows itself to be just like any other corrupt govt in the world. I suppose she will feature in “the most corrupt countries in the world” list soon.
Sadly, it’s gone even beyond party before country. It’s Self-Interest before party and party is now just the means to gain whatever position will be the most profitable.
Arapaho, my mom’s drawing is of Erlichman, one of Nixon’s henchmen in Watergate. She drew 8 of the perps while watching the hearings in the mid 70s.
Oh, wow, JF, vastly talented is your Mom!
GM Judith.
Thanks for the backstory.
Wonderful that your Mom is so talented. (Knew I should have recognized sketch, but it escaped me yesterday.)
Most of the US is too young to remember how inescapable the Watergate hearings were, and how shocked this nation was as Nixon continued to lie and fire people.
At least back then some in Congress and Senate were capable of putting country before party — seems unclear to me whether that is true today. 😦
This sketch is Erlichmann, is it not?
GE MP, and thank you!
I knew I should have recognized the sketch, but could only think of “plumbers” like G. Gordon Liddy.

GA TODville.
I actually heard a (good) portion of DJT’s “press conference,” which sounded like the same DJT that I’ve heard for far too long.
Guess it played a little differently on television (craziest press conference in history… ).
he is just so fucking ugly, it hurts my eyes and makes my stomach churn
Less than a month ago – even.
OMG! He is so cool. I miss him so very much. Has anyone heard what he’s doing in Washington? Any sightings? I’m feeling bereft lately, 😦
So this is happening in Atlanta now:
Yes! Formidable! If anything remains of life on planet earth 🌏 in 2020.
Sigh.
THIS!!!
Thanks for a New Post, NW.
Congrats on your Gold ⭐ Ms. AfricaTimes2 😉
I didn’t watch the press conference – or whatever it was – and from the looks of things, I’m very glad I didn’t. So sick of this ahole.
Mood.
We need more people like Sally Yates.
That is way cool!
Oh, my
So now what? No one wants to work in his administration. Who can blame them!
Damned either way if trump wants you – agreeing will kill a career – saying no will have the man retaliating every which way what way.
YEP! The best thing is to try and be invisible to him.
He reportedly called the offer, “a shit sandwich.”
LMAO.
I’m late to the parade, but just heard on the teevee that he said it was a choice of doing his duty to country or not becoming part of the dysfunctionality in the administration … good for him.
Smart man….
Tommy Vietor and Ben Rhodes were just talking on their last podcast about how hard it is to plan logistics for these major trips and wondered how the Trump admin would fare. Well, here’s your answer.
This one cracks me up. Surely, if they wanted to, they could have found a more dignified and convenient accommodation for him. Plus, in the article, T is quoted as complaining to the Saudis about the miseries of flying without your own plane.
Every day it’s a big pile of garbage!
Indeed! Had me laughing very loud!
I bet Tillerson is starting feel that this isn’t what he signed up for…disgruntled because of being excluded from meetings; now this travel thing. How long before he says, “Forget this!!!”???
I think until he gets his oil deals.
Well of course they all are expecting to get some personal benefit. Why else would they sign on for positions that they *know* they aren’t even remotely qualified to fill?
Hahahaha – incompetence everywhere
“On his first trip abroad as U.S. secretary of state, Rex Tillerson was forced to stay at a sanitarium in a German village known for its hot springs, 30 minutes from where other world leaders gathered. Diplomatic security agents mingled in the parking lot with elderly people in wheelchairs arriving for spa treatments.
Tillerson, the former head of Exxon Mobil Corp., was at the sanitarium because Bonn’s hotels were all booked by the time he confirmed his attendance at this week’s Group of 20 meeting. Counterparts including U.K. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson had to make a trek out to meet him.”
trump only cares about his own accommodation. Reminds me of a guy I used to work for – we travelled alot – he stayed at 5* I stayed at 3*
Found the link– https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/14/opinion/an-eminent-psychiatrist-demurs-on-trumps-mental-state.html
also an article on the subject of whether calling 45 ‘crazy’ is appropriate– http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2017/02/is-it-okay-to-speculate-about-donald-trumps-mental-health.html
I am posting this for it’s headlines. I am not a fan of The Hill.
” One of the dismissed staffers includes Carolyn Wiles, director of scheduling, and daughter of Trump’s Florida campaign manager. She instead will get a job at the Treasury Department, sources told Politico. ”
That’s right– she’s not safe enough for scheduling, but the Treasury is perfectly fine.
did the whole survey, which was actually fun, but then found they want my email to register the vote– nope.
You can make one up, I did. My name was Forever Obama at forever44@
Watch the questions – full of double negatives – trump supporters will probably get their answers wrong because of this
I started to complete the information but they wanted my information. I don’t want any of 45’s kooties in my inbox.
I have a junk email address that I use for most online activities 🙂
I answered the questions and also registered. I wanted whoever tallies to know how some of us felt. I critiqued those double negative questions and wrote a lot of comments. I will unsubscribe when I start getting emails.
left a fake name and email but spent alot of time giving them my opinions.
Exactly what I did, carolyn. Will unsubscribe!!
Really, there are NO WORDS
I think we could all use some of this.
ahhhhhh… 🙂
Right?
Thanks for this.
WORD
True. Represents the A-A women who out-voted every other group for HRC. We know that even if you do not like the smart girl, you best stick close when the shit hits the fan.
WHOA
Boo F#$king Hoo UpChuck Toad!
Where was the media when ALL they cared about was Ratings! They showed this MF’ers speeches and rallys because it was great theatre. Media made it’s bed so lay down in it the muck that is being spewed at ya.

This not a laughing matter. I’m sorry, delegitimizing the press is unAmerican
The media (You UpChuck) had NO problem trying to delegitimizing PBO with the birther BS and Teabagger BS all for ratings. In fact it was UpChuck that said it was not the media’s job to tell the truth about the President’s programs.
And when they came for ole chuck – there was no-one left to care.
ALL of this, my sisters!
Truer Words my dear Truer Words..
That is so well said – I’m impressed
You’re right. We get it. You are looney tunes!
Wimp
Awesome. People are smart!
Oh Canada! 😀
That wold explain how 2 days out #Liar45* knew the CROWD is Huge.
The protest crowd will be yooger – hope there are lots of pink eared hats – they cannot be confused with supporters.
F**ker has to pay people to show up. On the day, we should find photos of the long lines of people who waited hours for PBO in cold weather or rain (unlike the 80% weather in Florida). We are paying millions so this cretin can hear paid for cheers; sad, pitiful, and enraging. Looking forward to Pete trolling this sad sack mess.
This is ridiculous…are the budget cuts being proposed by the GOP going to pay for 45 and family profit-making ventures and lavish lifestyle? There should be some limits.
they’re corrupt to the core imo.. and will rip off American people for as long as they can get away with it.
No doubt about it.
So the accusation that anti-45 protesters are being paid is just his normal projecting?
Headline is a little exagerated… “will” should probably be “might”

Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA), who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, told MSNBC’s Greta Van Susteren that he’s worried President Donald Trump’s Sec. of Defense James Mattis will eventually resign because “his boss is so crazy.”
Mattis has worked under both Democratic and Republican administrations.
“We’re lucky to have Mattis there,” Moulton said. “He’s one of the only sane people in the administration. My only concern with Gen. Mattis is that he’s going to resign because his boss is so crazy.”
Moulton also talked about the problem with Trump’s immigration ban as it impacts some of the Arab translators that helped soldiers like him overseas.
Hmmm…looks like the link changed.
So I noticed that Hopefruit2 RT’d this: 😀
Come get us!
so many people are going through trauma and actual hardship because of the actions of the homegrown demagogue.
the young lady in this tweet explains her world right now.
;
if you have a few minutes, please send her some words of encouragement … it may not change her actual situation, but it would re-affirm the sentiments of millions of people of conscience saying: Not On My Watch will I let this hate-mongering to go on unchallenged;

SoCal TODers: Some very heavy rainfall expected tomorrow! Take care.
Thanks Meta. They are predicting 4 to 10 inches in some areas.
Wow. Sounds a lot like the storm we had last week. Drenched. Stay safe.
Thx Meta.
the offspring are proven corrupt scumbags like their father, … and they love the trappings of power too much ….. they can’t even contemplate giving it all up and the thievery they are engaged in
This is just plainly WONDERFUL
what do you know about stephen feinberg, head of Dycorp & Cerberus Capital Management, and the one the homegrown demagogue has tapped to purge the intelligence community;
;
well, I have learned a few things from the thread by Adam Khan that is recommended in this tweet;
;
Not acceptable…They all need to be shamed by this nominee…
Ava is on it ….
This is just full of awesomeness. I hope the link wins.
I mean, hope link works.
Love this.
Simplyyyyyy Marvelousssss…..
So this guy Harward is a close friend of Mattis. I’m guessing they spoke about the NSC job. Apparently there was no convincing. Or maybe Mattis said, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.
Didn’t want to take the “shit sandwich.”

“Rep. Don Young – Alaska’s sole Congressman, formerly a licensed trapper — is seeking to unwind a carefully crafted decision by experts working on the ground and managing our national wildlife refuges in Alaska. His resolution (H.J.Res.69), enabled under the Congressional Review Act, would not only allow the killing of bears and wolves in and around their dens, but it would allow trophy hunters to use aircraft to scout and chase grizzly bears and then land and shoot them. It would also allow the use of giant leghold traps and snares to kill grizzly bears and black bears. Please call your representative to help protect our wildlife the proceedings during the period from February 17, 2017, through February 24, 2017! We tagged Don Young above please voice your opinion on his Facebook post about H.J.Res. 69.”
I think the tag for Don Young didn’t come over in copy and paste. These people are all such sickos.
