Our Forever FLOTUS
Hello TOD on a Manic Monday.
Congrats to COS, Au ⭐ becomes you 😉
Thanks to NW, TOD Rocks!
I am not usually a fan of Award Shows. I did watch the Oscar last year, intermittently. This year, I watched it. Wow, it got confused towards the end.
Michelle Obama is the best First Lady this country have had in along time.
No doubt that there should be a vigorous investigation into why Trump sent American soldiers into harm’s way based on a flimsy plan. Why was he so pressed to conduct this operation within 2 weeks of his inauguration? Mr. Owens’ family deserves answers.
GA Nena:
Trump: “Me. Me. Me. Everything is about me!! Look at me.”
That’s Fake News…
Beautiful post, Nerdy. Thank you so much for bringing the goods here, day after day. ❤
Hi Susanne: In reply to your comment about Souza’s shade today, it is “the infamous Ritz-Carlton hotel.” Check it out here: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/russia-compromising-information-trump-report-article-1.2943045
Thanks, JER!
Lol..Great tweet Ms.J’OB. You win the day. 🙂
Thank you kindly! 🙂
Does anyone know if I can watch this online anywhere?
Thanks so much, Nena. Will check it out.
This is what happens when you elect a President with ties to anti-Semitic organizations. This is awful.
So nice to see the gorgeous, classy FLOTUS on here. Love her to pieces!
I have wondering. Anyone know about what happens to Mrs. O’s garden?
GA AT2.
Saw a tweet last week (could have been the week before, though) that said Melania is keeping the WH garden, with a gracious nod to our #ForeverFLOTUS.
First thing that hasn’t been an unending horror from this Adm.
Thank you, my friend.
There was a 2 million dollar bequest (not from taxes) to pay for the Parks dept. upkeep and below the pergola at the entrance of the garden is a stone marker with her name etc. Melania has also indicated that the garden would remain. It would be a public relations nightmare if they try to plow it underground. Much of the produce goes to area soup kitchens and other charities.
45 has shown that public relations nightmares where he’s the star are just good fun for him. I agree that people would be appalled, but I think what’s really saving the garden is some killer-smart maneuvering by the Obamas, to protect the garden and all it represents.
They better keep it up and going. Thanks!!
Boom
Nice!
GA/GE TODville.
Some congressional tweets:
(Unfortunately wasn’t elected to replace Issa, lost by just a handful of votes 😦 , but DJT has motivated him to resume tweeting.)
And from today:
Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. In honor of Michelle and Barack Obama, our forever First Couple, pledge to take at least one action a week if you are healthy and able.
For those who can, tune in or set your DVR’s:
Is this a cable channel? I definitely want to see this. Thanks for the heads up!!
FIND SMITHSONIAN CHANNEL ON YOUR TV – http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/tv-schedule
I recently got rid of much of my cable service and unfortunately this channel was one of the group. I hope that it will be available on their website or YouTube later.
Oooh! Bunches of thanks, arapaho415!
Thanks for the reminder. It re-airs at 11:00 PM est.
I was supposed to go to a preview and discussion last week in Philly. Was overwhelmed with paperwork and missed it…

lol, they’re going to be a dynamic team I think 🙂
All these sore-loser-Bernie-bots need to stop complaining and run their own damned candidates as independents. They don’t like Corp money…good, then run independents with little $27 contributions and see how that works. Build your own party from the ground up.
Hi Susanne: Left you a comment above about Souza’s shade today.
🙂 Oh, THAT hotel in Russia 🙂
In 2015, on the 50th anniversary of the march from Selma to Montgomery, the nation’s first African American president paid tribute to a defining event in civil rights history.
This despicable lump of ignorance sitting in the People’s House is the only one who is CLUELESS about
the difficult and intricate nature of health care. Thanks for calling him out Speaker Pelosi.
And here is our brilliant, supremely intelligent PBO pointing out the fact that health care *IS* complicated.
This was eons before dumbass Trump had a clue.
Sorry, wrong tweet.
hope this is the PBO tweet.
THIS!
I remember watching this “so-called” debate and all the GOP wanted to do was show-boat about how their plan (which they did not have one) could cover more people for less money. PBO was getting so disgusted because they had nothing and HE KNEW they had nothing.
But there was a need to waste taxpayer money on multiple hearings into Benghazi and Secretary Clinton’s email server. Alrighty then.
Keeping America Safe…
GE SWBG.
Team Trump is in for a bit of a surprise.
They think they’ve assumed the mantle of dictator, but he’s proving himself too crazy for Congress.
No question. It’s needed!!!
That means they won’t do it. They all have to give each other “Cover/Shade” so it “Appears” some of them want to do the “Right thing” when NONE OF THEM WANT TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
Saw that earlier here, and forgot to DVR it. Thanks for the reminder!
In one of the first major business deals concluded since Donald Trump became president, a Chinese businesswoman just closed on the purchase of $15.8 million condo owned by Trump’s real estate business.
While Trump is not on the board, he is still a principal of the LLC.
Chen is the founder and managing director of a business consulting firm called Global Alliance Associates which sells itself as a go-between, connecting wealthy business people with Chinese interests to develop new business ventures in her home country.
Happy belated bday, GGail! Goooaal! 😁
A House Democratic lawmaker attempted Monday to force a House floor vote on a resolution to request President Trump’s tax returns, but the effort failed on a party-line vote, 229-185, with two Republicans voting “present.”
This info. should go far and wide, repeatedly.
Yes it should, CEB.
Daily, the GOP does something that reinforces the question, “What are they hiding?” One can easily conclude that there is (a) cover-up(s) that goes beyond 45 and his inner circle.
Hey friends, I am lurking as I can. Am at our daughter’s and will be here for almost 3 weeks. We are very busy………getting ready for a big garage sale this weekend among other things.
If any of you watch The Voice (NBC right now), a young man, Chris Blue, will be on. He is part of the praise and worship team at our church. He has actually been in all the promos for this season. 🙂 I’ve never been ‘into’ most of the reality shows, but this is a bit different. He is a fine Christian–in the truest sense of that word–young man. Not bad on the eyes either. 🙂 🙂
I’ve never watched the voice but will tonight.
I am getting petty joy out of the fact that 45 is not having fun. He is living in a home that is not his and that he feels does not live up to his standards, all of the “best people” that he said he would have attract have not appeared, he is isolated from the show business community that he spent more than 30 years courting (I remember him appearing in a stupid skit on He Haw), he is denied a triumphant appearance at the WHCD because of his fear of facing those that he has criticized, our closest ally votes to deny him the pomp and circumstance of a State Visit, a million plus women and their male allies gave him a big FU protest that far outnumbered his piss poor inauguration, he is finding the job is much harder than he thought and he is learning the limits of presidential power. There are more than 55 lawsuits pending against him and a large part of the country mobilized against, his wrecking crew, and the cowardly, weak ass mofo republican members of congress. He is lampooned daily and no one of any stature is coming to his defense. His every move has been countered so far, by those pesky laws, rules, and regulations. The media that let him say anything he wanted to,unchecked, since 2011 are now calling out his lies. This man, who for almost 50 years turned his name into a brand, is now a fat unhealthy joke, sitting up late at night watching TV alone, tweeting, and trying to stay relevant. In less than 2 months, he has become, not the power that he thought he would be, with an adoring public cheering him and welcoming him everywhere, but someone who is merely the vehicle for men much more wealthy than he and their allies in congress, someone they can use to sign things that he does not understand and will be blamed for when they fail. The worst thing that could have happened to him and his vision of himself is to become president of the USA. Meanwhile, Hillary is smiling and living her life out loud and PBO is the president that even foreign countries want; still popular, good looking, and more importantly, free to live his life as he chooses with his smart, beautiful, one and only wife (because he got it right the first time). Karma is a Bitch!
If only T-rump could see that, he might just go ahead and resign right now. Tonight. Karma’s a Bitch, T-rump!
Small group gatherings in a few places around the country do not equal the “massive” crowds that were predicted. Many of those wo voted for him obviously do not want others to know. It’s like the hook-up from the night before that you want to pretend you do not know in the light of day.
they do look happily morose. winning bigly.
THIS
knee jerk solutions are not the answer. Dems needs to concentrate on 50 to 60 flippable seats in swing districts.
Question for NW or anyone else here. I am signed in here with a bellsouth.net email address. We are dropping bellsouth next week. How can I sign in here with a gmail address? Will there be a problem?
I had to change my email last year and the blog treated me like a new person. That means that you can’t really post until NW frees you from spam and approves your “membership.” If you see her on here, you might want to give her a warning. Or DM her on twitter.
I don’t tweet. Will try my best to catch her here. Thanks, meta.
Happening now: Another bomb threat, this time here in SF.
Stay safe, meta. This is awful.
Thanks, JO’B. It really is terrible. I just heard on local news that Palo Alto JCC down the road has decided to close until further notice.
Makes my blood boil.
I will never understand what kind of people wake up in the morning and decide to go after “other tribes.” What did anyone at the JCC or those buried in Jewish cemeteries ever do to these haters? How do they make up their minds who to hate?
YES, all of that plus the fact that these JCCs have child care centers for small children. Truly sickening.
Trump’s Terrorists.
Shades of the Oklahoma City bombing – many children in child care centers affected that day. Not to mention all the other incidents. Everything from this point on s/b categorized as coming from Trump’s Terrorists, as you stated.
Will 45 ever acknowledge that there is domestic terrorism in this country? Whether or not he will admit that he is the impetus behind these attacks — that his rhetoric is the motivation; his refusal to condemn this activity in essence gives approval — he should be attacking the domestic terrorism as hard as he claims to be going after terrorism initiating outside the country.
Of course, the attacks fall into his distraction MO. In his narcissistic mind, it also serves as a show of loyalty to him. The “I can’t control what people who say they’re my supporters choose to do” will be his alibi.
Chris just posted that he won’t be on tonight. But soon………probably next week…….
This documentary about President Obama on the Smithsonian channel is phenomenal. Trying not to cry. Trying not to throw the front door open, stand up, and lead a cheer!!!
Nobody can take him, his legacy, our memories – any of it – away from us!
OOOooooo, cool. I hope it’s available online some time.
Just spotted this intro on their website:
https://www.smithsonianchannel.com/shows/the-obama-years-the-power-of-words/0/3444572
OMG, that is AWESOME. Thanks so much, Booms!!
Oh my! teared up. I don’t have the channel so I’m gonna see if they’re selling a DVD set.
They may post the full video down the road, too. It was great.
excellent plan 🙂
Jacqueline, I will help you bathe the fish. 🙂 🙂 🙂
What are friends for, after all! 🙂
OK, this is crazy.
Dems resisted TPP while PBO was President because of NAFTA, and HRC tried to distance herself as much as possible against NAFTA.
Guess what?
Does this make you want to scream (I know I sure want to).
New post.
