Congrats on first COS.
And our dear FFLOTUS truly cares about so much in everyone’s lives. And works so hard to make it better for so many. We are blessed to have her.
And we are blessed to have Nerdy holding down the fort and providing us with this wonderful way to stay in touch and support each other through the current insanity in DC.
Thank you everyone.

You may have lost your house, and you may only have a $40 (made in China) Trump tee on your back & Norks have an H-bomb, but you're on TV! https://t.co/gbTVKRYVAt
Corroborates the observation many had of Sanders campaign that it too became a repository for white racial anxiety, albeit from younger ppl https://t.co/7YGoiWcJWL
Seeing our forever FLOTUS is a treat–always. Thanks, NW. Hello and thoughts to ((((((CHIPS))))). We miss you!
Off topic, but need help is anyone can. I can’t post to TOD from my iPad. Haven’t been able to for months. I hit ‘post comment’ and it tells me to Enter a URL. I’ve typed in the URL that here and it still tells me that. Anyone? Where’s amk when I need him?!?!?!
Yep. Many times. I’ve tried Googling to help find an answer but no luck. Difficult to word a question for that on Google. I’m ready to stop by my Apple store and ask them for help.
Good evening TOD! Stayed away from social media today with DT back in TX. Apparently, he suddenly has succeeded as consoler in chief by awkwardly picking up a child. The bar at this point is below ground. There is something seriously wrong with this man based on the statements I saw.
But tomorrow will be a good day! North TX is opening a number of shelters for Harvey evacuees, primarily from Port Arthur and Beaumont which remain badly flooded and one without city water. A group is working to put together welcome bags with toiletries and basic necessities So I will spend some time sorting donations and making up bags. It’s tiny in the overall scheme of things but it will feel good to physically do something beyond giving money. For so many of us the worst thing is feeling so helpless in the face of such devastation.
For those in CA and MT, stay safe and I hope they get the fires under control. So much tragedy.
And the insults will continue because the media doesn’t all give him 100% ass-kissing propaganda coverage like Fox News. His ego won’t allow him to shrug it off and move on.
What a small, petty, man. Jackasses like this should never have presidential power.
I just spotted @CBP immigration agents outside the main flood shelter in downtown Houston. This is why immigrants don't want to come. pic.twitter.com/xnGKA0SGuy
DT is the classic abuser, always go after the victim first. His harshest criticism is of ROK who has to live next door to the world’s other crazy, instead of NK.
While a very nice and thoughtful letter, I think it sounds fairly restrained – maybe even somewhat perfunctory – when compared to the deeply moving writings to which we’ve been treated in the past from our President. I’m wondering if he just felt Trump wasn’t worth the effort. Just my opinion.
This is disgusting to me. The fact that this moron shared this private letter with people just walking into the Oval Office and whomever else…actually makes me sick. It was meant for him only. I’m fairly certain that it was PBO calling dipshit “Mr. President” is what did it. All the rest he’s already ignored or blown to smithereens.
Morning everyone. Son’s birthday today. One amazing human being came into the world on this day 23 years ago.
I don’t expect better from Trump but that doesn’t mean that I don’t experience outrage and disgust when he does something stupid and outrageous every day. Trump is not human but I still am!!
Happy birthday to your son DF! I disagree as to who the intended audience was here. PBO is the smartest man we all know, and he knew full well when he wrote this that it would be made public rather than kept in confidence. Accordingly, he hit the points most important to him rather than to DT. And of course, 7 months later he now looks prescient although we all should have known what was coming.
Thank you, Foxfire:) I suspect you are correct about the letter. Still pisses me off though. In confidence, means nothing to this idiot. I grow to detest him more each day…
I suspect PBO knows who DT fundamentally is, and used the “corporate e-mail etiquette” rule: Always write something as if you expect everyone to read it.
Again, I’m convinced that the fates wanted to speed up the richly-deserved appreciation of President Obama, so they installed the orange cretin for maximum contrast.

Also add General Kelly to that list. He too got a tongue lashing from President Bad Day. Something he had never had to deal with in his entire career. He too felt the sting.

Good West Coast morning NW & TOD family.
NKorea is playing a very dangerous game and we don’t have a level headed leader at the moment.
I’m quite concerned.
In other news, please send up prayers and positive thoughts to our dear Carolyn and her grandson. He is having a serious blood issue that hasn’t been identified yet. Keep the whole family in your thoughts and prayers.
Trump's constant infatuation w/celebrity at expense of everything that really matters in life is what makes him feel real. He nothing w/o it https://t.co/oNtUftRyLI

With you Dudette.
Trump running America like a business run amok. Our Federal govt ain’t there to make a profit but to protect us. Trump/KOCH corporate right willing to Kill off the entire planet present/future, privatize it all, get rich any way they can and that includes NASA.

So the little men in GOP Congress are holding our Planet Earth to ransom…
-When the Constitution was written there were no Nuclear Bombs.
-Trump is significantly more off the rails than Nixon.
-Very big brains in the U.S.A can get the most urgent deed of the century done.
We are out of excuses, time and free passes for the domestic terrorist in the White House.

Prolly, some cache or update issue. Those geeks are the way to go.
Is there anything more irritating than when they ask you this, and then no matter the answer insist you do it again?

Not good.
A 4.0 will get you into Harvard.
These people are as cruel as DT.
Oh good! NOT. But I have not doubt that crew sitting in the WH will have it well under control.
Two words I never want to see in the same sentence, megaton and thermonuclear.
Good morning TOD folks! Wishing everyone a peaceful Sunday.
I WOULD LOVE A PEACEFUL SUNDAY OR ANY OTHER DAY OF THE WEEK!..MERCI AND GRACIAS!

In 2009 did we see the letter G.W. left for President Obama?
These letters are a long-standing tradition and are never shared with the public.
This is disgusting to me. The fact that this moron shared this private letter with people just walking into the Oval Office and whomever else…actually makes me sick. It was meant for him only. I’m fairly certain that it was PBO calling dipshit “Mr. President” is what did it. All the rest he’s already ignored or blown to smithereens.
Morning everyone. Son’s birthday today. One amazing human being came into the world on this day 23 years ago.
I am sure President Obama didn’t release that letter G.W. Bush left for him.
Good morning, df. And best birthday wishes to your son!
I had the exact same reaction. The self-absorption and hubris just sickens me.
If we expect better from Trump we are idiots like Trump supporters.
I don’t expect better from Trump but that doesn’t mean that I don’t experience outrage and disgust when he does something stupid and outrageous every day. Trump is not human but I still am!!
Yes, truly disgusting. Thank you for the birthday wishes:)
Happy Birthday to your son. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks, bella:)

Interesting point!!
Hi DF!
Happy Birthday to your son!
Hello everyone,
I suspect PBO knows who DT fundamentally is, and used the “corporate e-mail etiquette” rule: Always write something as if you expect everyone to read it.
PBO is a far better person than so many .
My letter would have been super succint :
Mr President,
Don’t call me .ever.
BO
Right! Well, as we all know now, PBO did NOT return his last call and the rest is history.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Trump’s economy is doing slightly worse then Obama’s.
I hear today is Pray Away the Donald Day. I thought EVERY DAY was that day!
It’s Obama’s Spectacular Recovery that is being damaged by the destructive decisions and rotten character boiling out of the current *ADMINISTRATION*.
Foreign Policy = tweet threats.
what a scummy pos.
Again, I’m convinced that the fates wanted to speed up the richly-deserved appreciation of President Obama, so they installed the orange cretin for maximum contrast.
Karma.
Today’s thread from Propane Jane is TRUTH:
Good day, all. Sending hopeful Sunday greetings to you, wherever you are! 🙂
And in case you need one of these…
Thank you, vc:) Good reminder
Those who use Twitter may want to use and share
LOL:) I know, you’re shocked, right?
Hey df. How is school going so far? I came back from the vacation of a lifetime to an average of 36 students/class. I’m already tired.
Good thread:
Part of my Pray the Donald Away Day blessings….
ICYMI, great thread:

Joy,
I love you, but why are you having this supply side clown on, and not, from the opening statement, attack him about KANSAS?
KANSAS, which has been a laboratory for all the bullshyt he spews?
Heartbreaking, really.
I love that picture of him in the classy graciousness of the Oval Office.
Where does the orange one get this place is a dump???
