The Obama Diary 
Good Afternoon, Everyone 🙂
I know Pete was happy to take pictures of a REAL President!
This whole regime is White Supremacist. Unfortunately as was discussed on Joy Reid’s show this morning, Trump is packing the courts with extreme conservatives who will shape this country for decades to come. So we can expect more voter suppression and unconstitutional antics because too many idiots didn’t understand the threat Trump posed to civil rights.
uh huh
uh huh
GA rikyrah.
CBS Evening News reported this on Friday:
At his testimony in March before Congress, Cmdr. Waldhauser stating that “providing search and rescue to troops in the field is a moral obligation.”
And Buzzfeed too:

Yesterday Meta RT’d a tweet that provides the most detail I’ve seen on the attack itself (will try to locate soon and post here).
Good that this is coming out. So Trump sent those four Army young men to their deaths without the appropriate resources? Why? What was the rush? This needs Congressional investigations since it appears to be worse than what happened in Benghazi.
GA pkayden.
Heard on CBS radio news yesterday that the Senate Armed Services Committee will meet this week to discuss.
Pentagon says they were “surprised” by the ambush, said they’ve done similar missions 29 times before with no incident, but UN has mapped 46 incidents in the same general region since the beginning of last year.
Here’s the UN map (screen shot from the CBS This Morning clip above).
IMHO, the Pentagon is stonewalling, similar to what we’ve witnessed from countless police chiefs who lie to the press.
Glad to hear that the Senate Armed Services Committee will be investigating this matter. The public has the right to know why our military is being sent to fight in foreign countries.
Sorry, I meant to post a couple more tweets… (must have hit the “post comment” button sooner than intended 😦 ).
Here’s the UN map of attacks since the beginning of last year:
Here’s the VOA report with details on the #NigerAttack:
Thanks.
In both instances – a GOP congress didn’t supply requested resources – and imagine the outcry if Hillary was president – Benghazi 2!!
DA PHUQ?

TESTING THEIR PROWESS..THEIR MAJOR GOAL IS TO SHUT DOWN MILITARY TECH WARFARE IN ORDER TO INVADE THE United States…THEY WANT TO SHUT DOWN ALL COASTAL DEFENSES..SUBS..AIR INTEL..ETC………..COME ON..YOU KNOW HOW TO FIGURE THAT OUT. MOST OF THE ENEMY IS ALREADY INSIDE THIS COUNTRY…THEY ARE WAITING FOR ECONOMIC STRESS AND OF COURSE THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING ON GETTING ALL THEIR DUCKS IN A ROW..EXPLOSIVES ATTACHED TO DRONES…PICK A NUMBER!
GE rikyrah.
Here’s the Reuters article.
“Since this is a newswire report, I hope it’s not a violation of copyright to copy more than a sentence or two from their article.)
“The Department of Homeland Security and Federal Bureau of Investigation warned in a report distributed by email late on Friday that the nuclear, energy, aviation, water and critical manufacturing industries have been targeted along with government entities in attacks dating back to at least May.
The agencies warned that hackers had succeeded in compromising some targeted networks, but did not identify specific victims or describe any cases of sabotage.”
There was an earlier report about this vulnerability in June:
“The objective of the attackers is to compromise organizational networks with malicious emails and tainted websites to obtain credentials for accessing computer networks of their targets, the report said.
U.S. authorities have been monitoring the activity for months, which they initially detailed in a confidential June report first reported by Reuters. That document, which was privately distributed to firms at risk of attacks, described a narrower set of activity focusing on the nuclear, energy and critical manufacturing sectors.”
more:
“’This is very aggressive activity,’ said Robert Lee, an expert in securing industrial networks.
Lee, chief executive of cyber-security firm Dragos, said the report appears to describe hackers working in the interests of the Russian government, though he declined to elaborate. Dragos is also monitoring other groups targeting infrastructure that appear to be aligned with China, Iran, North Korea, he said.”
still more:
“The report said the attacker was the same as one described by Symantec in a September report that warned advanced hackers had penetrated the systems controlling operations of some U.S. and European energy companies.
Symantec researcher Vikram Thakur said in an email that much of the contents of Friday’s report were previously known within the security community.”
And nothing is going to change for 2018 or 2020.
TRASH.
COMPLETE TRASH.

Dear heavens – I NEVER saw anyone extend the benefit of the doubt to Presidents Obama and Clinton. The NYT is a hack publication. they give trump the benefit of the doubt with EVERY lie and crackpot tweet he dreams up.
Not on the likes of ABC.
On today’s show, they had that old hack Cokie Roberts on, and one of the topics was whether the GOP would be able to enact it’s “tax reform” agenda.
The MSM will turn a blind eye to Trump’s tweets as long as they are in the hands of corporate owners.
Social media exposure has to do what they will not in terms of public awareness.
They are trying to kill these American citizens.
THE TRUMP REGIME IS COMPLETELY MODELED AFTER HITLER’S..THE COMPARISONS ARE ALL THERE..EVERYTHING IS A DISTRACTION IN ORDER TO GET IT DONE..HOWEVER..THEY DID NOT PLAN ON THE HURRICANES CAUSING PROBLEMS. THIS HAS REALLY TICKED THEM OFF….THERE IS AN ARTICLE FROM A FEW YEARS AGO WHERE KUSHNER TALKS ABOUT HIS FATHER IN LAW BASICALLY BEING A KING AND ALL THE CIVIL SERVANTS STARVING OUTSIDE THE KINGDOM THEY HAD PLANNED TO FORM IN New York…ABSOLUTELY INSANE CRAP..THEN AGAIN..NOT REALLY. STUPIDITY HAS SPREAD QUICKLY THROUGHOUT THIS COUNTRY LIKE AN EVIL PLAGUE JUST WAITING TOA DEVOUR AN ENTIRE CONTINENT FILLED WITH ROADKILL….IN BETWEEN YOU HAVE ISIS AND JIHAD ALREADY IN COUNTRY WAITING FOR THE CROWS TO FLAP THEIR WINGS.
I SEE MANY THINGS…IT WON’T BE PRETTY….

Hate to say it but then you allow racists to bully you into inaction. What a shame.
I REC’D THREATS DURING THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN..DIDN’T STOP ME!
What the hell is wrong with Jimmy Carter? Russia had nothing to do with election? Prez Obama did not deliver? Media too hard on #TrumpDictator?
Is he jealous about the love Prez Obama got last night in the heart of Texas?
He who couldn’t wrestle his own re-election from Ray-Gun?
That Carter speaks differently is No surprise. He spoke up in July or Aug of 2009 about Racism directed at Pres Obama. He attacked Mr. Obama for Not doing enough on the Middle East, then he complained that he didn’t hear from Pres Obama as much as he thought he should have been used. He attacked Clinton during his time. He attacked GW Bush too. But these words today about Trump, Stomped me……I must confess. If anyone deserved Carter’s Lip, #DotardTrump does.
His interview was done before the Event Last Night.
i hope that they do not try to manipulate Mrs Johnson into saying something about Trump or Representative Wilson….the press likes to create drama
She would have the right to set the record clear on exactly what Trump said to her and the fact that she had the phone on speaker so that everyone in the car, including Rep Wilson, could listen in on Trump’s call. Trump and Kelly are idiotically claiming that Rep Wilson wrongfully listened in on the call which is not true.
Now it makes seanse why she will be speaking with @ABCnews.
Impostors are using her Name to malign Rep Wilson.
smh
DUTY TO WARN: THE MOVIE
Experts discuss why President Trump is psychologically unfit to serve the country, how he is dangerous, and why this is not a partisan matter, but, rather, a patriotic defense of democracy and our citizens.
This 5 year old gets it.
That is so sweet.
Beautiful 😥
Hey! Look everyone! Decades of abusive behavior and entitlement “cured” in a mere WEEK! AFUCKINGMAZING!!!
It looks like there’s another Perv in Hollywood. 38 went on Record & another 16 have opened up to the abused they endured.
Hello TODbots on a Sunny warm Sunday Afternoon.
That little 5 yrs Old, Sunshine, & her Huge Heart is making me weep for Joy! Bless her heart.
Au ⭐ & Ag ⭐ for Rikyrah! Congrats 😉
Great Tweet, NW. Pete is Great!
❤ ❤ ❤ TODville Community
We ❤ ❤ ❤ you back, Nena!
So why arent the GOPers screaming for the president* to fix it. The never ending story – a republican president is responsible for nothing.
GOPers these days don’t give a middle finger about the Earth, her health, the Ecosystem & the Environment.
The bigger question is the lack of the CorpMedia’s wall to wall reporting as they did during Pres Obama’s Terms…..ie….Gulf Coast BP Spill.
Earlier today I began thinking about the Kelly debacle and this hit me: Has anyone asked the question: Was Kelly actually there at that building dedication? He talked about how “stunned” he was and then continued to call her an empty barrel. Then I watched my recording of AM JOY. She actually asked the question, but no one seemed to know the answer. If he was there, WHY would he have been there? This was in 2015. When did he retire? This was for the FBI in FL. He’s not from FL. I just can’t figure why he would have been at that dedication. If he was present, that makes this even worse (if that’s possible!) because he would have known he was LYING! Remember, he talked about there were children and those children were young when their dad’s were killed. Well, I just found the following on Facebook. Some one went through his speech and responded to all the lies he told in 4 minutes. The last thing points out that neither of the men had children. What an absolute asshole. As many have said, everything and every one 45 touches turns to destruction.

Great article!
Why only the women? What’s wrong with the men of the Congressional Black Caucus? Why aren’t they demanding that John Kelly, and Donald Trump, apologize for demeaning their fellow member of Congressional Black Caucus using manufactured LIES? For that matter, why are most Democratic members of Congress (other than the Black women and Nancy Pelosi) silent on this issue? Finally, why hasn’t the DNC chair spoken up forcefully to demand that the President and his Chief of Staff apologize to Congresswoman Wilson to smearing her name based on fabricated lies?
Oh, Pete.. ❤️🙏🏻👏🏼

TRUE INDEED..THEY ARE SHAMEFULLY DISGUSTING…GOD KNOWS THEIR HEARTS…THEY WILL BE IN SOUP LINES BY THE TIME HE IS FINISHED WITH THEM…..THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH..PERIOD!
Yes!
From AltNPS, one hour ago:
“Alert: On Thursday, the National Wild Horse and Burro Advisory Board voted to approve recommendations that call on the Bureau of Land Management to shoot tens of thousands of healthy wild horses and burros. If Congress allowed BLM to follow through on the independent board’s recommendations, that would mean the government shooting at least 90,000 healthy animals. The advisory board has no power to control policy.”
What are we, how did we come to this?
So much heartbreaking cruelty…
IT’S GREED..SELLING THEM FOR MEAT AND THE CHINESE USE THE BURROS TO MAKE A CERTAIN TYPE OF MEDICINE..THEY WILL PAY A FORTUNE FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY DESTROYED THE POPULATION SOURCE THEY HAD.
From Leslé Honoré:
“Dear John Kelly
What surprised you more
That black people know
a black congresswoman
Intimately enough
To call her family
Or that a black congresswoman
Supports a black family enough
To be right by their side
To wipe tears
Hold hands
Pray
Or that a grieving black widow
Would put trump on speaker
Being a gold star family
Doesn’t erase Bigotry
Doesn’t erase Boston
Pre integration
From your DNA
We know where you come from
What molded you
There are thousands of men and women
Who died fighting for their country
Who would also call Congresswoman Wilson
A nigger in a heartbeat
You just called her an empty barrel
Instead
Called her everything but her name
And then questioned why a phone conversation
With an admitted sexual abuser
Wasn’t sacred
Frederica Wilson is far from empty
Do you understand the boldness it takes
To aspire to what you have never seen
To walk through life
Being told you are nothing
And still rise
From Teacher
To Principal
To Mentor
To Congresswoman
She is as bold as the hats on her head
The only thing bolder is
The hate in your soul
How dare we Black Women
Support each other
Stand in the gaps
How dare we have our own Elders
How dare we have comfort when we grieve
You said there was a time
when things were
Sacred
When Women were sacred
When have Black Women
ever been
Sacred here ?
We have only been sacred to
Each other
That empty barrel is full of more ammunition
Than your wildest dream
You wear stars on your lapel
She wears stars on her hats
In her eyes
In the blood in her veins
What is more disgusting
The idiot who calls a widow
And offers no words of comfort
Or the coward who defends him
#FistAndFire”
This young woman is brilliant, an inspiration.

This is the type of response the DNC should be putting out there REGULARLY.
Where is their response to anything this administration puts out there, which is certain to either be 1) a lie; or 2) detrimental to the average American?
Trump has issued an executive order in which he can call up retired serviceman…he wants to build up the forces…in prep for war…
GE Sheila.
I heard yesterday on the radio that the EO allows the grotesque evil in the WH to call up 1,000 inactive pilots.
The grotesque evil in the WH has plans in mind for east Asia?
More information…
The EO, which I can’t make heads or tails out of:
USA Today article:
“By law, only 25 retired officers can be brought back to serve in any one branch. Trump’s order removes those caps by expanding a state of national emergency declared by President George W. Bush after 9/11, signaling what could be a significant escalation in the 16-year-old global war on terror.
‘We anticipate that the Secretary of Defense will delegate the authority to the Secretary of the Air Force to recall up to 1,000 retired pilots for up to three years,’ Navy Cdr. Gary Ross, a Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement.
But the executive order itself is not specific to the Air Force, and could conceivably be used in the future to call up more officers and in other branches.”
One more speculation… this time on Africa, not Asia:
https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2017/08/03/tangled-web-connects-russian-oligarch-money-gop-campaigns
GOP campaigns took $7.35 million from oligarch linked to Russia
You don’t say…no wonder they want this Russia investigation over with. They all colluded.
Dilly dilly!
Goodnight TOD ….

So what do you think – soon to be an observer sport at next Olympics.
Any TOD-ers interested? Apparently it’s not too late for some of us to start training.
// The Global Association of International Sports Federation granted pole dancing “observer status,” which means it’s now recognized as a sport and can be considered for the Olympics.
As the Washington Post explains, “Observer status is the first step international federations must achieve before becoming full GAISF members, which serves as a great boost for any sport hoping to one day land in the Olympics.”

Something I’ve been working on lately……http://www.carolduhart.com/whitehouse/the-obama-video-haven/
Working on these sites has been a calming experience for me as I watch the 24 hour bitter circus we call the Trump Administration.
Very nice. Thank you so much.
Good morning, TODville. Best wishes for smooth sailing this Monday morning.
If this doesn’t shut Trump and Kelly’s trap, then our nation needs to stand up and tell them to STHU.
This woman has been through enough.
She’s gorgeous and looks really really young.
They met when they were six years old 😦
Thank you meta for posting these snippets of the interview. The young widow spoke well and held up well. I’m proud of her and my heart hurts for her loss. They both being so young. 💔
She is an amazing young woman, wife and mother. She is strong and courageous and will suffer this deep wound for the rest of her days.
SHAME on that grotesque monster for making it that much more difficult. And SHAME on Kelly for compounding the insults.
Here comes the mismanagement and poor decision making and complete waste of money…..

so, what about empty podiums, teann?
Morning everyone…look here. Lindsey Graham just “can’t figure out” what dt’s blind spot is when it comes to Russia. Just can’t seem to figure it out! If he can’t, then HE’S got blinders on, too!
http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/donald-trumps-blind-spot-russia-isnt-going-away
After Congress approved new economic sanctions against Russia, Donald Trump grudgingly signed the bill into law, but not before blaming lawmakers – including members of his own party – for undermining the U.S. relationship with the Putin government.
But the story took a strange turn recently when the public learned that the sanctions still haven’t been implemented, despite the deadline included in the law. On “Meet the Press” yesterday, NBC’s Chuck Todd sought an explanation from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a proponent of the sanctions.
TODD: [Y[ou’ve come on this show numerous times and said, “Russia needs to be punished.” You passed a tough sanctions bill. You passed it in July. The president signed it in early August. There was a deadline of October 1st. It is not October 1st. It is October 20th and the sanctions have not been implemented. Why?
GRAHAM: I think that the Trump administration is slow when it comes to Russia. They have a blind spot on Russia I still can’t figure out.
Really? You still can’t figure it out? It’s just a total mystery as to why this president might have a “blind spot” when it comes to the foreign adversary that launched an espionage operation that help put Donald Trump in power?
The entire cowardly and corrupt gopee ‘establishment’ and the cowardlier and corrupter rethug voters should be ashamed of what they have wreaked on the entire world just because of their cowardly racism.
YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYY!!!!

scumbag.
that’s not an excuse, asshole, that’s a reason for impeachment. asshole.
As a Senior with Senior Moments remembering names is the most common problem. That is not a reason for impeachment. There are plenty of evil premeditated reasons for impeachment. What it is is a reason that he was unqualified to run for office in the first place. Choosing to be too critical over common Senior difficulties that a lot of seniors experience only serves to make other more relevant issues diminished.
Turning over ALL the rocks.
Which means that they will eventually get to Bernie’s Campaign Manager.
BINGO!

Why it matters if Trump pays his aides’ legal bills
10/23/17 10:12 AM
By Steve Benen
………………………………………………………
……………………………………………
And that’s where the trouble kicks in. What happens if officials in the West Wing have information to share that may be damaging to the president, who also happens to be paying for these officials’ legal counsel?
In other words, we don’t know if Trump is prepared to start writing personal checks to help his team because he wants to help them or if he wants to help himself. It’s not hard to imagine the president thinking that he can perhaps buy his aides’ silence by opening his wallet and discouraging them from “flipping.”
Creepy.

A crop of Republicans are betting that a Trump-style mix of crassness and white grievance will bring them victory in 2018.
