I wish, but she came along in my life when I was a teenager in the early ’60s. She was, however (not just due to the name), my style role model when I was in high school – couldn’t match the designers (Ha!) but I tried to grab some of The Look. Well, my teenage version of it!
Sometimes I think trump doesn’t have the knowledge or depth to actually force any of these awful disruptions, individually … but he sure has the CONFUSION in his own brain mentioned in that tweet. I think his “people” just tell him more or less what THEY have done on his behalf, and he says “Sounds good” …
… other than his original command to kill everything that President Obama touched, of course – I’m just talking case-by-case, here, and timing.
I have pieces of a past memory of Conservative leaders saying they only needed a President that would follow what they told him and the only requirement was to have digits that could hold a pen and sign their bill.
It’s all normal; nothing to see here folks. Meanwhile, we’re gonna gut FEMA, EPA, NASA, Weather Svcs, anything sciencey, Dept of Interior, Education, Civil Rights, Consumer Protections… oh and while we’re at it, we’ll be taking away your mortgage & state tax deductions, tax your 401k, privatize & cut Social Security, kill Medicare & ACA and let the Russians keep hacking our elections. Gotta give those nice 1%ers their nice tac cuts, don’t we? Mmmkay? Thanks!
The last few weeks: —2 historic hurricanes slam U.S., Caribbean —Major fires in CA, MT, OR —Worst earthquake in a century hits Mexico
There are around 100 judicial vacancies, thanks to long-term GOP obstruction of President Obama’s nominees. Sit with that for a moment. https://t.co/ot79WRolSR
The DNC is not doing much to educate voters that I can see.
They should use this example to show why it’s important to send Democrats to Congress – and explain in clear terms what will happen in this case because they don’t have the majority.
I think a disturbing majority of people in this country have NO idea how the judicial system works, or more importantly, how it will impact them.
Nor do they understand how state-level governments can protect them from some of Trump’s policies, and why it’s important to make sure you don’t let RWers default into those positions.
Thanks, Dudette – Four of my five grandchildren and my two great grandsons are in Florida, hunkering down, along with some close friends and loved ones of friends! I’ll be praying all weekend for them, as well as everybody else affected!
We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers for full safety and relief. Please let us know how they are doing through these next few days. {{{{Booms}}}}
J’oboomer, have daughter and a plethora of former inlaws. You and I are riveted on the fallout. Best wishes to you. I keep thinking
about Russian roulette but anyway.
Hello Dudette! Thanks for posting these tweets. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Cuba and all the people in the other Caribbean Islands devastated by hurricane Irma. My thoughts are also with the people of Mexico devastated by a powerful earthquake. As we pray and come to the aid of the people in Texas and Florida, lets not forget our fellow Americans in the Caribbean and Mexico who are also dealing with major catastrophes.
An emotional moment as a woman breaks down in Beyoncé's arms at event to support victims and families of Hurricane Harvey! 💔🙏🏾 #BeyGOODpic.twitter.com/MAeIviNT0u
All the Beyonce haters who only focus on her outfit or her performing on stage, there Beyonce is reaching out to help those in need, what are you haters doing? Thanks to all who are helping, Janet and Jennifer too.

This, this, all this, is the unforgivably high price of patriarchy… complete disregard for balance, only about ‘owning’ and profiting off the devastation of all life forms.
Date rape drug Rohypnol was used on a sweet student I know – she managed to escape.
So DeVos would give rape rights to this vile guy who was suspected of having done it before, eventually dropped from the University, and given the option to leave or be run out of town.
DeVos is undoubtedly the most unqualified person selected to be the Secretary of Education. It turns out that she is also a heartless woman who cares less about young women who are sexually assaulted on college/university campuses. I am proud to see VP Biden pushing back about the madness that Trump is unleashing on the country by trying to undo the progress of the Obama/Biden administration.
Good West Coast morning NW & TOD family.
While we know the Obamas are classy & best dressed, Vanity Fair is taking advantage of our love for them also using them to tweaked the Trumps nose.
that made me lol, too:) Thank you for the well wishes. They are alright now, but I have anxiety about not being able to hear from them AFTER the storm because of damage….may not know they are hurt or ok for a while. This is what’s so hard….my parents are old and I worry about THAT, too. Think good thoughts. For everyone.
Bernie was used by Russia and GOP and our media. Where is the LOGIC of a re-run? We need a fresh start, or as fresh as it will
be with GOP blocking fixes to voting systems as well as foreign (and domestic) hacking. Give it up Bernie and help us escape from
this nightmare.
This ignorant woman is infuriating. I hope wherever she is someone who cares about her is showing her how awful she looks here. https://t.co/yezqnN8617

The Obama Diary 
Yeehaw!
That was my “class and style and substance” comment of the night. Carpe noctem!
Of course they do!
this vs crass+bile+incompetence.
sigh.
Exactly. Ugh.
Jacqueline! Were you named for the style icon, Mrs. Kennedy?
I wish, but she came along in my life when I was a teenager in the early ’60s. She was, however (not just due to the name), my style role model when I was in high school – couldn’t match the designers (Ha!) but I tried to grab some of The Look. Well, my teenage version of it!
44 and FOREVER FLOTUS are class acts all the way 🙂
Our Forever FLOTUS will be speaking in Minnesota Sunday night at 7pm..
She will be speaking at Beth El Synogogue.
🙌🏾
Right wing haters are upset that their Melania was left off the best dress list. I guess they thought her whiteness would put her on the list.

I’m old enough to remember that, too! Ugh.
Haha! President Obama likes Chance. I see why! 😄

LESSON #1….WHAT THE OBAMAS WEAR ON THE OUTSIDE DOES NOT MATTER…IT’S THE INSIDE THAT IS MORE IMPORTANT AND THAT IS WHAT COUNTS..THEY DO JUST FINE!
I AM SO GLAD HE IS NOT WEARING A TIE..I HATE TIES!
President Obama’s book “Of Thee I Sing” is among the audiobooks for kids recommended in this article.

Prayers for all in Irma’s path
Thanks, Dudette – Four of my five grandchildren and my two great grandsons are in Florida, hunkering down, along with some close friends and loved ones of friends! I’ll be praying all weekend for them, as well as everybody else affected!
I sure hope they’re all okay, J. Wishing them the best possible outcome.
Thanks so much, Dudette. Everybody’s just waiting to see what happens!
We will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers for full safety and relief. Please let us know how they are doing through these next few days. {{{{Booms}}}}
Thanks, honey bunch! Everybody’s hunkered down!
J’oboomer, have daughter and a plethora of former inlaws. You and I are riveted on the fallout. Best wishes to you. I keep thinking
about Russian roulette but anyway.
viz. living down there is kinda like Russian roulette.
But with more real estate developers.
Hugs all around!

Oh I love this. The Carters and Knowles are passing on the legacy of generosity of #BlackWealth to BlueIvy. Beautiful.

I wonder which streets he’s talking about, maybe Beverly Hills?
You nailed it!
I missed the match but sounds like it was a barn burner. 😎
Careful with the sexism, Serena has 29 Grand Slam finals also
And she still has THE most wins, male or female.
John McEnroe considers Federer the GOAT, rationalizing that he could beat Serena.
So if they indulge in that talk, I want them to say that the absolute GOAT can never be a female, assuming a female could never beat the top male.
I personally would give it to the person who wins the most majors, male or female, given the level of competition and longevity.
aslo. too. her win ratio is far better than fedex. I say that as a fedex bot.
How cute is this? 😁
This, this, all this, is the unforgivably high price of patriarchy… complete disregard for balance, only about ‘owning’ and profiting off the devastation of all life forms.
Goodnight TOD ….

Yep she would. That there is the “Honorable” Elisabeth DeVos, Secretary of Education. Ain’t she somethin’?
Does she have any daughters who are allowed out of the house?
Two daughters, two sons. They are rich. Nothing matters.
So maybe a deferred, probation, time to finish their degree, free trip to Hawaii while another gets 10.
❤️📿

Way to lose our best and brightest.

Hope she’s okay.
thanks dudette.
Good morning, TODville.
Some morning inspiration from communities working together for the BETTER.
Good West Coast morning NW & TOD family.
While we know the Obamas are classy & best dressed, Vanity Fair is taking advantage of our love for them also using them to tweaked the Trumps nose.
I bet it works. 😂
Morning everyone. My thoughts are with my family and all families in FL today. Stay safe and care for one another.
Share!
The fate of many deniers…
Big Plywood cracked me up. Best wishes to your FL family desertflower.
that made me lol, too:) Thank you for the well wishes. They are alright now, but I have anxiety about not being able to hear from them AFTER the storm because of damage….may not know they are hurt or ok for a while. This is what’s so hard….my parents are old and I worry about THAT, too. Think good thoughts. For everyone.
Just checking on same for elderly in-laws. Let you know if any ideas beyond lots of phone numbers, neighbor, nearest first responder outfit, etc.
TY
I hope that evangelist will find a real church to go preach!

Sometimes ya just gotta laugh at the stupid.
Wondering if Rick Scott will find it inconvenient to keep denying climate change now….
Scotty is himself in the Hurricane business: Transferred his 2001 Solantic urgent care center business to his wife – who now controls stock.
LOL.
