The Obama Diary 
I LOVE this photo of PBO.
Great idea.
GE Meta and congrats on your gold.
Congrats, Meta, and thanks for posting the college picture of Barack when he was Malia’s age.
MO – Numero Una.
El Capitan in Yosemite is having a series of very serious rock falls.
PBO – Numero Uno.
Love FOREVER FLOTUS 🙂
White women be mad! One of them called MO a bully and it is featured on the front page of some rag in Miami. Of course, almost every headline that I saw framed MO’s comment in the wrong way as they usually do. MO has long given out of fucks to give and she is unleashed in the public and as the interviewer noted, “not one to be trifled with.” Remember when that woman tried to clown MO at a campaign event in 2011 0r 2012 and she was NOT having it? Becky complained to the NYT and as usual they gave her too much time and ink. Any woman who voted for this serial cheater and sexual predator, any woman like Betsy Voss, is saying that she and every other woman and girl does not have value, does not have the right to her own body, does not have the right to speak out or to be her own person.
Sorry CEB – trying to find the rag you speak of through relatives, nothing so far. When I see those things in the supermarket checkout I often turn them to face the other way. All trashy faux. Betting MO wouldn’t give it any quarter. Relative just said all the reports she’s finding are really positive… she will look again.
hehe – a friend who is an author used to visit book shops and make sure her book was at the front of the shelf – turning the trash around at the store is a great idea.
Michelle Obama spoke the truth, because these same women who had no problem with the things said about grabbing women’s pussies, if a black man had said that same thing, those women would have been so offended and upset by that. They would have never voted for that black man.
GE, TODbots 🙂
Congrats, Meta. Au ⭐ becomes you!
Great Post, NW. Thank You.
OOF! ‘Rained hell’ is right. Thanks Lt. Gen. Siliveria. Imagine it playing on Fakes News.
He’s what a leader looks like!!!!! And the military of today (not always) is supposed to be the “model employer” for the nation. This guy needs to travel around, giving this message.
Air Force eh? 5,500 w/honchos packed in a room.
The president* gives anyone the right to be a racist – he encourages it anywhere and everywhere. It must be so difficult for senior military to see him as their C in C.
I think Roxane Gay is a wise woman.
Need a laugh?

Some of the replies are hysterical:
LOL.
As a proud White Supremacist, I don’t think Trump will care about anything the CBC says. They need to push for his impeachment and set the stage for his exit once Mueller is done with his investigation.
GE TODville.
Seems like every. single. day. when I try to catch up on the day’s events, I end up being absolutely GOBSMACKED on the lawlessness of the goddam Administration.
The greed and corruption is bad enough, the white supremacy is unspeakable, and now the federal government is gearing up to take reservation lands from our First Citizens.
We have become a totalitarian police state ruled by greedy oligarchs whose aim is for everyone who isn’t a plutocrat should either die or have their purchasing power reduced.
This is the test case:.

And no truer words were spoken (or tweeted, as the case may be):
Hang in there, Arapaho! I’m so thankful we all have like-minded people to hang with, here and other places – otherwise, we’d go bonkers, I’m thinking!
Thanks Arapaho. imo no longer news: DOTARD DICKTRAITOR NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Hey I kept this for a lot of reasons:
“[We] trap out the beaver, subtract the Mandan, infect the Blackfeet and the Hidatsa and the Assiniboin, overdose the Arikara; call the land a desert and hurry across it to get to California and Oregon; suck up the buffalo…kill off
the nations of elk and wolves and cranes and prairie chickens and prairie dogs; dig up the gold and rebury it in vaults somewhere else…
kill Crazy Horse, kill Sitting Bull; harvest wave after wave of immigrants’ dreams and send the wised-up dreamers on their way; plow the topsoil until it blows into the ocean; ship out the wheat; ship out the cattle; dig up the earth itself and burn it in power plants and send the power down the line…dry up the rivers and springs, deep drill for irrigation water as the aquifer retreats…”(Frazier, L(1989). Great Plains)
fuck him and his ilk for their fucking fake poutrage. fucking enablers now fucking whining. pahdon my ff.
Don’t apologize. Free speech is respected in TODVille. Besides, who said I disagree with you?
Yet Joe Scarborough has supported Republicans for those 15 years and was anti-President Obama every chance he got. This is beyond laughable. He’s trying to jump off the train because it’s gone off the tracks.
GOP hasn’t been fiscally conservative since Eisenhower – and in those days taxes were a magnitude or 2 higher than they are now.
Joe loves to b.s. about how wonderful was congress when he was there. He sure uses those rose colored glasses when looking at his own past.
Bless their hearts (until I hear one more maybe on some new version of SkinnyCare or TrumpCare).
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a little peek at what justice looks like.
Good Evening TODVille.
Hope everyone is OK. I am enjoying Lawrence tonight (almost every night).
There are two trends on the Dotard’s administration:
1) everybody either spoke to a Russian, met with a Russian, or e-mailed a Russian.
2) everyone flew a private plane or used a military plane for random travel including private affairs.
well, mcangry and his other mofos could do something, anything, if these mofos are soooo unhappy.
Didn’t notice McCain being bipartisan when PBO was in office. Followed the GOP obstruction every day of every year.

New species of giant rat discovered.

No, it’s not the illegal one living in the wh.
Reading @dcbigjohn’s Twitter timeline tonight is like a horror show.
Heard about this on the radio this afternoon, with a bonus of ICE agents claiming assaults on them are up significantly — another avenue for FUBAR to impose martial law/police state in this country:
Right On!!! Kneel On!
Remember when Bannon told the Hollywood Reporter that “darkness is good”.
Bannon: “Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That’s power. It only helps us when they (the liberals) get it wrong.
When they’re blind to who we are and what we’re doing”.
also. too. all those ‘wars’ it lost heavily. how easily they are forgotten while the rwer’s clamor for more useless ones.
imo Trumputin’s mental health deeply in question about now if it wasn’t before.
our rwnj party has started eating each other. good.
Good news!
Anybody need a laugh? And then I am outta here. Sleep well, TODville.
Even “CREW” needs a laugh! Goodnight, again!
Goodnight TOD ….
#TrustBarack
good morning everyone!
have a great day
I’m SO GRATEFUL that someone of this caliber has the floor and chose to use it to teach an urgent lesson. We are in dire need of a forceful voice for equality.
Indeed….
this is a powerful example of why the voices of white people are needed in this struggle for racial Justice…i believe that Hillary was one of those voices…esp in the 2016 Presidential campaign…that is one of the reasons why the backlash against her was so visceral
This was what was SUPPOSED to be said all along. We shouldn’t be shocked by this. It’s wrong, to me, that we are. That said, I’m glad he said it again. With passion. When he said talked about his school….I heard “my country”…the stink is at the top. Get rid of him
FINALLY someone in a position to be a role model speaks TRUTH to power:
Yeap. Three common trends on the Dotard’s administration:
. Everyone knew a high-level Russian, or spoke or met one
. Everyone is using private planes or military planes for random personal matters
. Everyone is carefully using a personal e-mail address
This is the one that needs to hear it/do it – “If you can’t treat someone with dignity and respect – then get out”
And – this is how trump will throw the blame for not passing tax “reform” at congress.
Bye, taker. You “forgot” that you were here to SERVE THE PEOPLE. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving asshole. Morning everyone. Happy Friday.
problem is – trump has no-one who wants to replace him. The pool of people willing to work for this admin is very small.
I remember the smug look on his wife’s face during his confirmation hearings.
I HATE NEWS MODELS who bait people who are trying very hard to get help. THIS IS NOT HELPING!
THEY KNOW DOTARD AND HIS ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION ARE JUST A BUNCH OF LIARS!
Good West Coast morning NW & TOD family.
Today is our very own JoJothecat birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOJOTHECAT 😻💃🏾🎉🎉
Happy Birthday JOJOTHECAT!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂
Thank you so much. It was great seeing the TOD folks over the weekend.
Happy happy Birthday, JoJo! Have a wonderful day and weekend!
FU, DOJ!

Quick Takes: Never Send Out a Millionaire to Explain Tax Cuts
A roundup of news that caught my eye today.
by Nancy LeTourneau
September 28, 2017
Donald Trump hired a lot of millionaires to work in the White House – especially in positions where their task is to work on the economy and finance. But it is always a mistake to send out a millionaire to explain how your tax plans will help the middle class. Exhibit A: millionaire Gary Cohn.
Round two goes to Cohn as well.
Median income in the U.S. is $59,000.
GM DF.
I’m convinced that this is FUBAR’s intent:
(Tweet was sent Wednesday re: Puerto Rico.)
He’s trying to kill non-WASPs (not limited to people of color, but also targeting Jewish people as targets for revenge/violence), he’s trying to kill WASPs by disfiguring and polluting our landscape and air, he’s gonna surveil ANY American citizen who contacts naturalized citizens, and he’s ramping up the police state to imprison the survivors….
Like Twitter, wish WordPress had an “edit” feature — sorry about posting my tweet twice. 😦
unintended consequences to stupidity and bigotry.
Tens of thousands more UK citizens applied for citizenship in other EU countries in the 12 months after the Brexit vote than in the previous year, according to data obtained by the BBC.
Ireland received by far the most applications for dual nationality.
But for all the countries that had data covering July 2016 to June 2017, applications have more than doubled.
In countries which had data only for calendar years, there was a sharp rise from 2015 to 2016 as well.
Among well-known UK citizens to apply for citizenship elsewhere in Europe is the Oscar-winning actor Colin Firth – it was confirmed last week that his application for Italian citizenship had been successful.
Yes, even Mr Darcy is feeling flustered.

Tom Price’s Truly Outrageous Behavior
by Nancy LeTourneau
September 29, 2017
November 1st begins the open enrollment period and, absent a major life event, it marks the only time during the year that individuals can sign up for coverage on the exchanges. Here is what Price has done so far to make that more difficult:
On this latest one about shutting down the exchange for maintenance, one anonymous official suggested that it was no different than what happened in previous years during the Obama administration. Surprise, surprise…that is a lie.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,JOJO:)
