I SENT A NOTE TO TSA..TOLD THEM NOT TO ALLOW ANY ELECTRONICS ON AIRPLANES…NONE..NOTTA…DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN THE BUILDING OR NEAR YOUR TARGET TO INITIATE EXPLOSIONS…..ALL REMOTE FROM ANYWHERE.
THEY CAN BRING DOWN..PLANES…TRAINS OR YOUR TELEVISION SET..TAKE YOUR PICK!
they were so happy to see 44 š
I don’t feel sorry for the American journalist. I wished it happened to one of them. Their Network heads thought it was “cute” and “great for ratings” until the orange cheeto turned on them.
Same here. They created this monster, and now they have to deal with it.
Oh God, how we miss him dearly. What a breath of fresh air after dealing with a child bully as Potus. Anyway, I will continue to live in my lala land will forever take it that he is still my President. And what a crowd and warm welcome by the people of Germany. So sweet.
Love this shot but that picture is from 2008.
GM/GA TODville.
Thanks, Nerdy for posting video of PBO and Chancellor Merkel, which I missed. š¦
Came across this article late yesterday:
Former US president Barack Obama arrives at the Brenners Park Hotel prior to the German Media Award 2016 (Deutscher Medienpreis 2016) at Kongresshaus on May 25, 2017 in Baden-Baden, Germany.
Poor little white supremacists Miller and Bannon thwarted again. Excellent!
Wyoming Dems already planned to be in Montana to help in the election thankfully. Hope it helps to elect Grist. We don’t need another bully in D.C.
No, we don’t need any more bullies; especially with milk-toast “leaders” like Ryan.
That ain’t no gentleman.
Former U.S. President Barack Obama, left, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, right, arrive for a discussion event on democracy and global responsibility at a Protestant conference in Berlin, Germany, Thursday, May 25, 2017, when Germany marks the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

That wave brings tears and joy both…. incomparable gold.
Look at that smile on her face. She looks so happy to be with PBO š
Nerdy, thank you so much for posting President Obama’a speech in Germany.
Yes thanks a zillion times for everything you do Ms. Wonka.
Hello
Now, Crocodile Tears?
Please!
Hello TODville Community.
Au ā for Ranman š
Thanks NW for this Great Post.
{{{ ā¤ Chips ā¤ }}}
It looks like The š» is doing Us Proud in Berlin š ā¤ š
Great catch by you and Joy Reid (catching up from the bottom of the thread).
In addition to the crap we have to put up with on a daily basis, FUBAR president is an arrogant a**hole buffoon.
š š š š š š
Will this “vacation” become permanent????
I hope this scum bag is next to get the axe.
It’s a Great Thursday with this Ruling!
šø šø šø
Good things are afoot.
Was this a gag or was it real?
Help, TOD.
Hee, hee, hee! Eeeek.
A gag!
š
Thanks J’OB, I wasn’t so sure.
Don’t think about that smile.
Calgon, Please take this Lying Nyash of an embarrassment away.
FUBAR president is acting *exactly* as we knew he would — as a unmannered boor, a tinpot dictator — he’s so frigging obvious about it, and it seem that civilized people make excuses for him and flatter him — so he proceeds on his way to isolate the US while imposing draconian burdens on everyone here (except for the oligarchs, of course).
Well that’s exactly what Russian picked for America…..a laughing stock!
GA Nena, great find!
It’s come to this… John Dean is now tweeting articles from ShareBlue — guess he’s no a Republican?
From the article:
“Several presidents and prime ministers were visible on camera, muttering, staring at each other, stupefiedĀ by what Trump was saying.”

“Trump has ushered in an era of American politics in which facts have no meaning. Unfortunately for him, they still matter to the rest of the world, and to our allies.” š¦
My response to @lrozen:

Brookings Institute fellow and top foreign policy scholar Tom Wright said Trumpās refusal to endorse Article 5 has rendered his entire foreign policy trip a āfailure.ā
AMEN…<3
Ryan: “the choice will be made by the people of Montana”.
Are you saying that Gianforte should now be OK to take office in the House after he violently assaulted a journalist and was charged for it?
RYAN DID YOU SEE THE FOX NEWS TEAM EYE WITNESS REPORT:
“At that point, Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him.
Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the reporter. As Gianforte moved on top of Jacobs, he began yelling something to the effect of, āIām sick and tired of this!ā

“Republicans respond with jokes, platitudes after candidate is charged with assault of reporter”
THANKYOU..ON MY FB…
Well,, President Macron and the rest of the sane world knows that is another Trump lie! He really thinks people are as stupid as he is.
No memory/biggest liar in history. Take ya pick.
Please Lord, we need this embarrassment removed from office.
Does he think we’re so tough that we can fight wars or stay secure as a nation without the help of other countries?!?!?!?
hmm I think he expects Putin & the Saudi’s to be there for him.
LOL…NO PUSHING!
It’s truly terrifying how DJT is making the US a Russian satellite state.
It’s also horrifying to watch his supporters adopt his jackbooted thugocracy with glee.
We’re watching American white privilege in action now, and civilized behavior with anyone who isn’t a (white) neighbor is now only for “losers” and “snowflakes.”
MSM are either cloaking jackbooted autocratic plutocracy, or they’re complicit.
Arapaho your term is apt: Trump’s version of the United States is a “satellite state” for Russia.
SO NOW WHAT?????? š®
The Senate is heading toward a fight over President Trump’s $110 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia.
Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Al Franken (D-Minn.) introduced a joint resolution of disapproval on Thursday on a small part of the deal that was signed by Trump during his recent visit to Riyadh.
The bipartisan trio has to wait 10 calendar days before they can bring their measure up on the Senate floor using a frequently overlooked provision of the Arms Export Control Act.
The senators want to block the proposed sale of equipment and weapons systems used by the Royal Saudi Air Force, according to their resolution. Murphy told reporters that their resolution would only apply to a “fraction” of the $110 billion sale.
The senators are objecting to the sale because they believe selling weapons to Saudi Arabia will only worsen the war in Yemen, where Saudi Arabia is leading a coalition supporting the ousted government.
Which is why he shouldn’t be AG…he has no concept of what perjury is…which is why he keeps committing it.
good grief people are sick. That is so damn sad to me.
Sick Trump anti press, racist Trump voters.
No surprises here!
Was so good to see PBO on TV today, one of my former trainees was there and posted a picture on facebook that looks like she was just feet from the stage so IĀ“m a little jealous..
Does anyone know whatĀ“s next on his schedule? I know he travelled on to Baden Baden today but will he fly back to the US from there or stay in Germany some longer?
GM niliathiel.
This article says that PBO will be in Scotland tonight:
From the article:
“Oscar winning musician Annie Lennox, comedian Kevin Bridges and Glasgow band Texas are to perform for former US president Barack Obama when he visits Edinburgh next month.
The dinner on 26 May is thought to be one of his first major addresses since his term as president came to an end.
The event at the EICC is being organised by The Hunter Foundation.
Mr Obama will also answer audience questions at the event, which is being held to raise money for charity.”
Obviously, djt thought he would get royal welcomes in Europe like he did in Saudi. They were gaming him, as we all know. The Europeans see and know him for what he is, and know his hold on his office is tenuous. He is demonstrating beyond any doubt, his ignorance, arrogance, lack of preparation, lack of diplomacy skills, his insufferability…..every day I detest him more, and last fall I didn’t think that was possible.
So thankful that PBO is about carrying out his responsibilities as a global citizen. His presence on the world stage reminds other nations that not all Americans are as ignorant and vile as 45, the GOP, and their minions. More of us voted, twice, for the sophisticated, knowledgeable, kind, and elegant man who gracefully strode the world stage for 8 years.
Next trip Russia. They will have a military parade for him. It will be yoooooge
Carolyn you’ve got that right. He is a disgrace.
hehehehe – all over the interwebs is the bullying disaster in Brussels and then there is TOD
President Barack Obama in Berlin.
And that posted early – what I wanted to add
SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOF TOPS
and Thank you Nerdy – fabulous news item
I said I refused to be embarrassed by this fucking jackass who thinks he is president – that said, I am most certainly appalled, disgusted, mortified and aggravated. Nothing more than shameful, shameless grifting and demonstration of remarkable ignorance, stupidity and empty arrogance. I am grateful that President Obama had already laid out a clear path to world peace and order, a foundation no tiny-minded, soulless imbecile will shake. 45 is nothing more than an empty suit, a cheap empty suit, never mind he thinks otherwise. He will be his own downfall, and he will take them all with him. I will rejoice with you when that day comes, it will come.
I feel no shame re: 45 because I did not vote for him and will never give him the respect of the title that he screws over everyday. Let those who lied, cheated, hated and enabled (MSM) to put him in the WH wring their hands, whine and cry when he and his poisonous cabinet shred the safety net and our institutions, and be hurt physically and psychically, when the goons he has emboldened slam them to the ground and put them in jail. The suffering of POC did not matter for most people in this country; they did not believe that “injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere” because they were living privileged lives. Well now, many are coming to see what it is like when laws and supposed rights do not protect you. I cannot care much about anyone else’s horror and fear because of this cabal, because POC live with this all of the time and few cared. The only thing good about our current circumstances is that the blinders are coming off for many people and they see what this country is really about. We are all being played by the 400 families for their gain; pitted against one another fighting for pennies and position while they rule the country with their money and influence.
I don’t know how much stock to put in this but may as well get together and make NOISE
SO make your feelings known about TrumpDon’tCare
PALATE CLEANSER
