Good morning Ms. Chips, Danny and TOD family, I hope all is well with everyone this lovely Tuesday 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 are met with authentic, honest-to-goodness, and genuine receptiveness from all those you encounter 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 ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆 ⭐🏆
🌟💫🌟
Gon ‘head with yer bad self, Oscar WINNER Viola Davis!
Dayum, Girl!
Am I paranoid because they’re questioning Obama office holders instead of people connected to the Trump regime? They need to subpoena Trump’s inner circle.
Good morning Ranman and congratulations on FIRST! What a beauty of a tweet — of course it is just our beloved #POTUS doing what he always does the way he always does it, shining like the sun in the sky, going out to use his strength and power and gifts to encourage inspire make it all better for all of us. Thankful for your wonderful uplifting greeting Ranman, always a sunbeam in my day. Thankful for NerdyWonka, ever onward in keeping TOD powered up and on the go.
Thanks Nancie, as always for your wonderful encouraging and uplifting words. I hope you have a great a day today. 🙏👍
UGH, I want to cry!
Ain’t that the truth:
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! THIS THIS THIS all day! So tired of this bullshit from the BS crowd!
And let me add that, in large part due to the whole “Oh no! paid speeches!” crowd (a sentiment which was intentionally stoked by Russian bots to weaken HRC with the far left, BTW), we now have a sitting president who is profiting from the office courtesy of the tax payers, as well as privately and internationally, along with his children in flagrant fashion DURING HIS TERM!
All of these finger waving BSers can have a “unity tour” rally’s worth of seats!

Posted last night, NC GOP judge speak speaks out on republican lack of moral guidelines in governing. (iow, they are using criminal tactics to undermine democracy)
😂👊🏼 http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/obamas-barrage-of-complete-sentences-seen-as-brutal-attack-on-trump
Exactly, and President Obama won’t be your daddy, either, Democrats. Sick of this talk. How many registered Democrats are there — compared to this one sterling man who all of a sudden must do it all? Fuck that.
Other than this, have a nice day, TODers! 🙂
They just won’t leave PBO alone. Instead of all of this Democratic negativity lead by Sanders, we need to start coming together for 2020. If not, we will lose again. I worry that Sanders is not a positive influence on the party. He is to self-centered. Why isn’t Ellison talking about how Sanders’ was manipulated by Putin and wiki-leaks, instead of criticizing PBO who did a lot of good for this country?
Sarkozy was soooooo jealous…I’ll never for get this day. 🙂
First 100 days. With world leaders before his first NATO Summit. — petesouza
Meanwhile, in Swamp Land which is the Orange Man’s administration…
President Trump’s former national security adviser did not properly disclose payments from Russia and does not appear to have complied with the law, House oversight leaders said Tuesday after reviewing Michael Flynn’s application for a security clearance.
“As a former military officer, you simply cannot take money from Russia, Turkey or anybody else. And it appears as if he did take that money. It was inappropriate. And there are repercussions for the violation of law,” House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz said.
The news comes after the White House declined to provide documents related to Flynn that the panel investigating him had requested, according to a letter obtained by CNN.
A White House aide disputed that the White House was withholding anything from the committee, saying they could not provide documents they do not have access to. The aide said that they directed oversight investigators to the appropriate agencies.
No officials have accused Flynn of committing any crimes.
YYYEEESSSS
I remember so well this trip to France and the trip to the NATO summit. I was glued to my TV set…..he still received full coverage on MSNBC at that time. EVERY leader wanted him to visit, and every leader wanted to be seen shaking his hand and talking with him. The world seemed so full of positive possibilities at that time. Thank you NW for posting Pete’s marvelous pictures. Right now I can see the beauty of a parliamentary system, so a new election could be called for…..not that djt would call for it voluntarily, but he could be forced to.
Thanks to NW for keeping this open to us, and thanks to so many of you for keeping me informed. I have kind of retreated into myself these past few months. My precious poodle tore her ACL and had to have repair surgery. That necessitated confinement for almost eight weeks…and my worry over her. She is now all I have, and is particularly precious to me. She is recovering nicely, and I am feeling a little more like participating in life. I enjoyed my trip to Spain and Portugal. That was a real retreat from news of the world…..enjoying the sights and food and soaking up all the culture. As anyone who has suffered loss knows……and everyone does…..this “recovery” from loss of a beloved spouse is strange. One week I’ll be doing okay, then something will just kick me in the stomach and I am paralyzed…..then I’ll be okay, then paralyzed again. However, I do read TOD every day and appreciate each one of you. Also, like everyone else I have been grieving the loss of our wonderful PBO. Seeing him in public again, gave me a boost.
About a week before he died, my husband asked me one afternoon : “Is President Obama still president of the United States?” I with joy answered, “Yes he is honey.” He smiled, sighed luxuriously and calmly went to sleep. I think of that often, and am glad that he didn’t see the debacle of djt.
Thanks for sharing. Your husband was a wise man.
Carolyn, I am glad your husband and many of our TOD family who left us before that dreadful Nov 2016 did not see what our country stood by and let happen by not voting or not selecting HRC for president. I am glad that they are in peace knowing their last President was Barack H. Obama. I am waiting to wake up from this nightmare of 45.
Carolyn, thanks so much for your willingness to share that precious moment with your husband. {{{Carolyn}}}
So nice to hear from you Carolyn. I always appreciate what you share and it’s true that we’ve all been grieving the loss of PBO made worse by #45’s election. Sigh.
What is the next step to getting the documents?
Trump White House has provided nothing from before, after, or during Flynn’s appointment.
ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT.
ILLEGITIMATE C.I.C.
Exactly. Subpoena the requested documents and stop playing footsies with a treasonous administration. Of course, the WH wasn’t going to cooperate and Congressional Republicans aren’t going to force them to cooperate. This investigation calls for an independent party to ask tough questions and get to the bottom of Russia’s interference with our election.
So this is why they have been able to claim that the boycott had no impact on her brand and that there has been an increase in sales?
fraud. just like her daddy
It’s a binder full of grifters, I tell ya!
No shit, Sherlock! Like Duh! Jeebus! OK, let me stop here! 🙂
Just hearing this story … because I’m a dreamer, I’d like to think that Chaffetz announced he’s not running again, so he wouldn’t be vulnerable in going after Flynn and Trump and all the others. But, because I like to think I’m also not a total fool, I’ll believe it when I see it.
I thought he was stepping down early
Somewhere in the universe pigs are flying.

As others have said, how can you have “unintelligible” in a one-on-one interview? Is asking to repeat an answer or asking for clarification not allowed?
Hello TODable TODbots.
Congrats Ranman on your Furst Au ⭐
{{{ ❤ Chips ❤ Dudette ❤ Danny -I
Lurkers & Commenters at TOD, this 🍸 is for YOU!
Oh, how come??? Hasn’t Mexico heard that DJT said so?

Ivanka Trump’s clothing label has been relabelled ‘Vittadini”:
12 year-old Adrienne Vittadini fled Budapest during the 1956 Hungarian revolution. Many Hungarian refugees went to Austria, Yugoslavia, Canada and U.S.A. http://www.refinery29.com/2017/04/151277/ivanka-trump-clothing-relabeled-adrienne-vittadini
TODAY young Vittadini would probably be blocked by Trumputin at the effing border.
So Michael Flynn as a NSA was Not working for US, & some how, Our Tax $$ was Not paying for his services? These people think that We The People are Just Simpletons?

Call to insist no killing of wolf pups and other living things.
I do get that if you’re going to indict an Entire Administration you gotta dot the i’s and cross the t’s ….
But, I sure hope they don’t need much more time or ink ….
We can’t take much more, although of course we said that 100 days ago.
Yes, this is why, and yes, to be absolutely certain before they pull in the net, that every single collaborator is included. Otherwise, they will keep at it again, all future elections will be rigged. I’ve actually been thinking this could certainly go back as far as 2010. Maddening and exhausting, to be sure, but we must #bevigilant #dontbeafraid #trustbarack #neverunderestimatebarackobama and lastly, #KeepYouTheHeart ❤️🌏
Heh
Sorry for the dupe!!
Tee Hee Hee
OMG, the depth of my hatred for this man is off the charts.
He is one sick and jealous and awful neanderthal.
He wants to allow mining in Bears Ear, a sacred Indian area. UGH, I just can’t.
This.Must.End.Soon. Just sayin’. It’s been 100 days too long already.
Vindictive piece of turd! Good grief, the majority need to voice loud & clear & cut off those crazy kkk’s. Uggh!
How the hell is this legal?
I’m hoping it somehow is not. Trump is willy nilly signing pieces of paper, under the impression that he is the King of America, that these EOs are some kind of substitution for governing. UGH UGH UGH
Doesn’t this involve an act of Congress? Even for an ILLEGITIMATE president?
President can proclaim but not ‘unproclaim’ — for that needs Congress.
This is not just Trump…but all of the GOP…their hatred and jealousy of the Blk POTUS is off the chain..
Not Just Trump but the GOP..their hatred and jealousy of the Blk POTUS…knows NO Bounds…
You are not alone in your hatred. I have to stay away from it all a lot. I’m boiling over. I cannot understand the blatant lying, cheating, stealing, all out corruption- being allowed to go on day after day by every member of this admin and 99% of the gop Congress.
OMG, that’s the exact feeling. Every single day. It’s beyond horrendous.
yes it really is.
Got to vent – sorry – Our ridiculous PM is pandering to trump and meeting him ON BOARD AN AIRCRAFT CARRIER. What happened to meeting people in normal ordinary diplomatic places like DC or Canberra.
Seems the goon sees war as his only way of being popular. Still cannot believe people support this administration.
When you’re not just a goon but also a reality star, everything’s a photo op. Just wish all of the people he talks into this stuff would decline!
I wish our PM would wake up – he is also singing the praises of Pence – my head aches.
All of this “Flynn likely broke the law” surely must be getting to him … enough to have him flip. Soon. Lawyered up, with immunity, or not.
Please.
Not sure if this has been shared yet.
I guess this is how you advocate for families.
I’m IN
May 27th
Me too.
Can we call the WH and leave a message? I would say “Tell that little POS to go to hell!” Would that be fine?
https://thesternfacts.com/connecticut-bar-will-investigate-disbarment-complaint-against-paul-manafort-437a27646ee
Former Trump Campaign manager Paul Manafort is facing a Connecticut bar investigation for acting as an unregistered agent in service of a foreign state and numerous other dirty deeds in service of his pro-Russia Ukrainian masters.
Massachusetts lawyer J. Whitfield Larrabee submitted a 63-page complaint embedded below) against Manafort on April 17th. He had this to say about Trump’s campaign manager to ethics officials:
“Mr. Manafort is a lobbyist for dictators and torturers. He has ice running through his veins. His own daughter described the family as living on “blood money.” It is not surprising that Manafort was Trump’s campaign manager at a time when the Russians were working to steal our democracy.”
OMG!!!!
Oh I want this, thanks for letting us know, meta 🙂
oh you can pre-order at Amazon. $40.00
A steal!!!!
absolutely- I know what I’m getting everyone for Christmas 🙂
Exactly what I was thinking. I’m so excited for this.
Thanks, Sherijr!
Just placed my pre-order!!! 😀
Thank you, Meta, for posting this. I can’t wait to buy it.
GE JO’B.
Jeff Sessions is a stain on America and the American South.
Hope he and all DJT’s cabinet members who were also part of DJT “transition team” are behind bars before 2020.
From @mattdpearce’s Twitter timeline:
DJT WH is now trying to absolve transition team:
I’ll check these out … but first I wanted to let you know I agree with your every word!!! And GE to you!
“In backing the leader of France’s neo-fascist party, Donald Trump also resumed his role as the Western political stalking horse for Vladimir Putin. Having received Le Pen in Moscow, where she denounced sanctions and sucked up to Putin, Russia’s authoritarian president has mobilized his entire propaganda apparatus to influence the French election…”
“The stakes of the investigation into that illegal interference with the 2016 election keep getting higher, and may rise again with the French election. Nobody should maintain any illusions about who Trump and his cronies are, what interests they serve, and what kind of threat they pose to the future of the democratic world”. http://crooksandliars.com/2017/04/eve-french-election-trump-and-putin-still
Getting scammed!!! The French need to know a vote for Le Pen vote is a vote for PUTIN !!
What Murals have brought to Philadelphia
The right wing was absolutely terrified of PBO, certainly from the day he was Inaugurated with that incredibly massive crowd in 2009!. McConnell wouldn’t even pass jobs bills in a second Great Depression! Not even veterans jobs bills. Instead of increasing federal jobs, an approach to healing used in previous recessions much less dire, GOP fired a million government workers and then demonized them. Will never forget gross Scott Walker and the beginning of a new kind of evil breed.
Yup. Racist scums like nixon, raygun, shrub and the current pos are their types and what they deserve.

O’ course our golden is on same clade as Newfoundlands and Labrador retrievers.
Good answer, every time we see this shit.
F*ck all these asswipes. Not a single one of them has any reason to be so stupid and rude. President Obama and his entire family accomplished more, and sacrificed more than any others in the history of this country. He is a private citizen now, and none of these tobacco-chewing non-entities get to have an opinion, never mind thinking they have any right to gas off about it. They can all go to hell tonight.
Co-Sign!!!! All of ’em.
He set the standard for more than 8 years. The loony left can go fuck themselves. matty iglesias is a bs bot.
Co-Sign!!! I’m done with these jackasses!
