Hello TODbots on a Wednesday Partly Cloudy, slightly cooler Wednesday Afternoon.
Leaving a Message as was Invited to do.
Hey, NW. Thank You.
{{{ ❤ Chips ❤ }}}
Now, On to try & Catch Up 😉
Many of us know this famous picture of Tommie Smith and John Carlos. But few know the bravery and tragedy of the white guy, Peter Norman. pic.twitter.com/A96hzYtdvI
To be expected, after a few minutes random glancing at the pages, WMP/W currently breaking down in tears for SO MANY REASONS! Our Forever FLOTUS shines with the Light of a million Suns! There are no emojis fitting to the occasion of the release of this much-needed book. It is beautiful!
I watched MSNBC Stephanie Ruhl’s piece on the 4 soldiers, when she got to Sgt. LaDavid Johnson she just broke down crying, I even started crying because you just can’t help but cry for his widow, Myeshia Johnson who was devastated with his death, not being able to see him for the last time (no open casket), and the heartless words from that waste-of-a-life-in-the-WH. The hurt she must feel, I wish PBO could be CIC for a few hours to comfort her and have him sign the plaque they get. I would not want anything with satan’s signature on it in my house or having to touch it.
I just watched MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle share the names and the stories of the four soldiers killed in Niger. I could not hold back the tears after seeing Sgt. LaDavid Johnson widow Myeshia Johnson draped over his casket and his young daughter holding her mom’s hand. My Lord.
I remember reading here or seeing video of PBO whenever he was called upon to be consoler-chief that he would KNOW their names, spouses name, children’s names, parent’s names. Ask his staff to contact a family member or close family friends to tell them about the person who passed so that he’s words could not only be consoling but personal for that family.
So John Kelly is NO BETTER than that POS in my eyes. I believe the congresswoman, the parents, and spouse. If Kelly covers for this asshole I am done with him…….
Sanders does not deny that Trump said those words to Sgt. Johnson's widow, only says that Trump was "completely respectful". pic.twitter.com/VfoVhG4ayt
The A$$hole-In-Chief didn’t bother to learn the spouses name nor the soldier’s name! All the other garbage he said is just that, garbage. It’s as though a total stranger off the street got her number and pranked called a grieving widow just before receiving her husband’s body.
It’s truly astounding that WH staff and the grotesque evil in the WH (whom I formerly referred to as FUBAR, but that’s too good this heartless, cruel sadist) are digging their heels in deeper to attack and insult a Gold Star family. 😦
Absolutely no consideration AT ALL what it would be like to be 24 years old, pregnant and learn the circumstances surrounding the death of your soulmate. Unbelievable.
Sanders now attacks Rep. Frederica Wilson as "disgusting" – though Wilson's account of the call was confirmed by Johnson's mom.
Asked for proof Wilson mischaracterized conversation with widow, Trump says: “Let her make her statement again and you’ll find out” pic.twitter.com/JXY9IRoEG3
This monster has to stopped. If the media gives him shade by going after his mother, father, aunts, etc. and if they do I will go berserk on them. This is crazy.
So now he’s threatening the widow’s family and Rep Wilson? He’s a liar. And I see Democratic Senators sitting there beside him. Shame on them for normalizing this monster.
Y’all.. Y’all… Y’ALL!!!! look what just came in the mail!!! WOOT!!! and just in time for lunch. There are pix in here that I’ve never seen of our our forever first lady. It is absolutely bee-yoo-tiful. GET. THIS. BOOK. NOW. Just holding the book in my hands lifted my spirits from this otherwise shit show going on today. ❤ ❤ ❤
{{{{MTMARILYN}}}} how you be gurrl? I just found a couple of the TOD wristbands from our June trip and was thinking about you and all the lovely ladies TOD’rs that met up in DC. Pete’s book comes out or ships in November, I think 7th or 8th per Amazon.com. GGail and BetsyK from our SoCal TOD’rs group literally got the last two tickets to see Pete in LA when he’s here in January. Both of his LA shows are completely sold out! Can’t imagine why. (snark) Hugs to you! ❤ ❤
^ 5, gurl. Now you’ve sown a little envy in my soul with the news two of our group got tickets to see, hear, and maybe meet Pete, the Man-photographer!
Yo, GxG and Betsy, you’d best take note of *every*thing for your boots-on-the-ground report back to the TOD village. 😀 😀
Oh, they’ve been given their marching orders VC, TRUST me on that! 😆 😆 We were all literally online on the ticket website within seconds of each other trying to get tickets this past Sunday. They are Lucky Ducks!
Good evening my dear. I think of our trip so much. We had such a special time. Looking forward to another get together sometime at least at the opening of the Obama Library. So happy for Gail and Betsy got tickets to see Pete. So jealous. We will expect a long report.
Hope all is well with you. I am well just so thankful for this place that gives us solitice
Sending you a big virtual hug.
President Trump, in a personal phone call to a grieving military father, offered him $25,000 and said he would direct his staff to establish an online fundraiser for the family, but neither happened, the father said.
Chris Baldridge, the father of Army Cpl. Dillon Baldridge, told The Washington Post that Trump called him at his home in Zebulon, N.C., a few weeks after his 22-year-old son and two fellow soldiers were gunned down by an Afghan police officer in a suspected insider attack June 10. Their phone conversation lasted about 15 minutes, Baldridge said, and centered for a time on the father’s struggle with the manner in which his son was killed.
“I said, ‘Me and my wife would rather our son died in trench warfare,’ “ Baldridge said. “I feel like he got murdered over there.”
Trump lies as easily as he breathes. We cannot believe a word he says about anything. Plus, why is he giving some grieving military parents money while not doing the same for others? This is not normal.
Notice whose money the Idiot President was offering (online fundraiser) in order to lay claim to something ‘no other president has ever done’? There is no limit to this fraud!
BREAKING: A federal court granted an emergency motion to let Jane Doe, a young woman being held in a government-funded facility, to get an abortion after being blocked by the Trump administration. https://t.co/a1wrKzm67D
February 28th FUBAR’s staged joint address to congress where he had Carryn Owen widow of the Navy Seal William Ryan Owen, looking up to the heavens suggesting that he was looking down from heaven. This was in my opinion staged so that his failed first raid would not be shown as a complete failure by the media or they were dishonoring the memory of the Navy Seal. Why is this NEVER politicizing by FUBAR but when people show his failures they are disrespecting the troops and politicizing their deaths.
I HATE HIM SO MUCH!
THE MEDIA CONTINUES TO GIVE HIM SHADE AND THE HOUSE/SENATE CONTROLLED GOP WILL NOT HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE. THERE WILL BE NO HEARINGS OR INVESTIGATIONS.
Isn’t it lovely to have a “President” who calls the family of grieving soldiers liars because he’s an insensitive S.O.B.? This country cannot survive years of the Trump regime. He needs to be gone. We have to continue to resist this racist bastard.
My GOD. Listening to Randi Rhodes that the “General’s” had NO CLUE, NO PLANS, when they were ambushed there was a 30 minute fire fight, they called for back up and there was NONE! The French flew from 75 miles away to try to find them, when their bodies were recovered, Sgt. LaDavid Johnson’s body was left behind. The story is so awful and this is another failed mission.
Trump promise the father of a dead soldier that he would send him $25,000 dollars, he hadn’t sent it and he just sent it when the Washington Post found out about it. Well the WH said he sent it.
Every day I miss Mr Obama more and detest what President VinDICtive is doing. So happy to come here and still see the beauty of the Obamas and their true legacy.
It’s as if Trump is a morally-bankrupt, entitled, senile grifter who conned his way into presidency on a wave of xenophobia w/help from 🇷🇺 https://t.co/46f03jZCdI
“Trump does not possess an ounce of compassion. He is reptilian, knowing only to show his fangs, hiss and attack. This is why he mocked a physically disabled reporter for the New York Times, why he derided the heroism of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and why he dismissed the authenticity of the Khans, who had lost their son in Iraq.
This inability to feel the pain of others — even to acknowledge it — is not a minor tick in an otherwise good man. It is the salient characteristic of a sadist, of someone so wrapped up in himself that he has contempt for victims. Trump’s name for them is “losers.” They are the poor and the unlucky. They deserve what they get.
Trump is not a conservative nor a nationalist nor some reality show creation. He is a mean S.O.B., base in his motives and cruel in his targets and, until he won in November, unthinkable in American history — a brat in the Oval Office. He’s not man enough to throw an arm around a grieving widow. He disgraces his office and will be remembered by history as a lout. It is now a fate he cannot escape. Sorry, but he knew what he was signing up for.”

The Congresswoman FL is telling the TRUTH!
YEP!
So Sanders is defending Trump?
I’m just figuring out that the reference is to Lying Spokesperson Sanders and not Senator Sanders. Whoops!!
The A$$hole-In-Chief didn’t bother to learn the spouses name nor the soldier’s name! All the other garbage he said is just that, garbage. It’s as though a total stranger off the street got her number and pranked called a grieving widow just before receiving her husband’s body.

❤ This!
This is so cute!!
Great to hear!! Hope we come out in full numbers for the elections in 2018. We must take back at least one of the chambers.

Profound!
YES INDEED!
That depiction is misleading because I’m pretty sure that Trump has never seen any of the caskets of our fallen soldiers.
Because President Obama had empathy like the decent human being he is.
Back he goes to the KKK.
For assault, he should be jailed, not just fired. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up on another police force.

Checks in the mail…..USPS is inefficient and will write an EO to have it disbanned.
Inappropriate on so many levels…but says so much
let’s add crass to the list of adjectives for this absolute fucking moron.
Trump lies as easily as he breathes. We cannot believe a word he says about anything. Plus, why is he giving some grieving military parents money while not doing the same for others? This is not normal.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Notice whose money the Idiot President was offering (online fundraiser) in order to lay claim to something ‘no other president has ever done’? There is no limit to this fraud!
NYDN doesn’t play. Perfect headline.
Trump is racist as hell so yes, it has always been about him telling Black people to sit down and shut up.
February 28th FUBAR’s staged joint address to congress where he had Carryn Owen widow of the Navy Seal William Ryan Owen, looking up to the heavens suggesting that he was looking down from heaven. This was in my opinion staged so that his failed first raid would not be shown as a complete failure by the media or they were dishonoring the memory of the Navy Seal.

I HATE HIM SO MUCH!
THE MEDIA CONTINUES TO GIVE HIM SHADE AND THE HOUSE/SENATE CONTROLLED GOP WILL NOT HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE. THERE WILL BE NO HEARINGS OR INVESTIGATIONS.
Probably, some dedicated reporters will investigate and one day, some of the details will come out
Here we go again…
Isn’t it lovely to have a “President” who calls the family of grieving soldiers liars because he’s an insensitive S.O.B.? This country cannot survive years of the Trump regime. He needs to be gone. We have to continue to resist this racist bastard.
WE HAVE TO GO INTO THE White House AND DRAG HIM OUT..I’M SURE THERE ARE HUNGRY SHARKS SOMEWHERE!
Sue, you have the right idea!! He has got to go.
HIS BOOMERANG IS COMING!
My GOD. Listening to Randi Rhodes that the “General’s” had NO CLUE, NO PLANS, when they were ambushed there was a 30 minute fire fight, they called for back up and there was NONE! The French flew from 75 miles away to try to find them, when their bodies were recovered, Sgt. LaDavid Johnson’s body was left behind. The story is so awful and this is another failed mission.
OMG, I haven’t heard any of that. thank goodness for some reporting……
Maybe I’ll finally get blocked.
🙂 Tally!
😀
Maybe Ivanka need to explain to him that when you lie so much people tends not to believe anything you say.
This explains a lot about RWNJs:
She’s probably not even the worse of the lot. Republicans are living in an alternate universe with alternative facts. Sigh.
So surreal it’ll drive us all crazy if we let it. I refuse to let it.
To our TODer Oregon friends: THANK YOU.
https://www.liberal.ca/canadian-liberty-and-the-politics-of-fear/
This is an older piece, but PM Trudeau has just reposted it on his fb page, and very sincerely genuine.
I hope the reason Sgt. Johnson was initially left behind by the rescuing team was not because of confusion related to his race
GE GCL.
Catching up on the news of the day, but I heard on CBS radio news that the soldiers were ambushed WITHOUT air cover, which is standard procedure.
Niger was a botched mission on steroids… more fallout to come.
Trump promise the father of a dead soldier that he would send him $25,000 dollars, he hadn’t sent it and he just sent it when the Washington Post found out about it. Well the WH said he sent it.
Every day I miss Mr Obama more and detest what President VinDICtive is doing. So happy to come here and still see the beauty of the Obamas and their true legacy.
Will be interesting to see how this shakes out.
da god prophesied this in 2015.
the emmessem created and enabled this pig and now they squeal because the pig craps on them?
WOW
https://www.arcamax.com/politics/editorialcartoons/stevebreen/s-2008896
THAT IS NOT THE QUESTION.
The question is WHEN IS HE GOING TO BE IMPEACHED?
It’s really in the hands of voters. The corrupt & cowardly thugs won’t do it. #2018.
This….
