It would seem just the arrival of this book has been doing wonders for the heart and soul of each TODobot, as much as for each recipient. I wonder if Pete has a clue how much *therapy* he has been unknowingly dispensing? 🙂 🙂
‘kay. Not a word out of me!
/For my promise of silence, if you can encourage Pete to sign an extra book for your Cdn.-sister-who-loves-him-to-pieces-for-his-love-of-PresO, I’ll happily buy the 2nd one off you.
Congratulations, Gail! I am trying to hold off and buy it when Pete comes to Portland in early January for a book talk so I can get it signed. Of course, if one of my darling children gets it for me for Christmas, then all bets are off. 🙂
You guys who have received yours previously have not mentioned how big & Heavy it is.
I too am turning it over and over in my hands, not ready to peel off the plastic.
I’m glad you mentioned not taking off the plastic. I’m savoring the new book. I’m going to wash up and dress up to read it in the light of day! I’m enjoying all the comments. Wondering if Pete will be in Denver?
When I got mine, my heart just started hammering. It IS heavy, heavy with goodness, truth, beauty…..I cry when I look at some of the pictures remembering such good times. I still haven’t gone through all of it…..I want treasures to anticipate.
Guess what…..I just saw an ad that shows that our Nancie McDermott is going to be on Hallmark Channel’s Home and Family Monday demonstrating another of her wonderful recipes.
She will be on between 10 and 12 Eastern time, between9 and 11 Central time, and I don’t know the Pacific time schedule. I just saw a brief blip, but there she stood between the two hosts smiling big!

Can’t stand this guy ever since he held that stupid self-serving rally on GOTV weekend years ago.
All these comedians really make me gag. I guess I’ve lost my sense of humor because I don’t find their jokes about our horrid government funny. Fluffing Trump’s hair (Fallon) or inviting Sean Spicer to the Emmy’s (Colbert) or kissing him at the after party (Corden) – not funny.
Biggest issue facing Democrats in the 2018 midterms is voter suppression. Makes no difference how great your candidates are if people can't vote https://t.co/VWRMhKZgEs
Exactly. The $10 mil being spent on ads to impeach DT–which is never going to happen with a R Congress–could go so far toward overcoming voter suppression efforts, registering new voters and GOTV. I don’t understand the rationale. To me, it is a huge waste of money that could be better spent getting folks to the polls.
Thanks to all the men and women who served in our armed forces. We honor your service on Veteran's Day. Great to be at the parade in Mobile. pic.twitter.com/Kpez0oLYZv
Today I celebrated Veteran’s Day at @DuSableMuseum in Chicago with brave men and women who served our country and came back to racism at home. This man won medals in World War II yet wasn’t allowed to enter a German POW camp in the Southern U.S. because of the color of his skin. pic.twitter.com/vYktOZXLMo
Have to go bathe my brain after reading this, but I wanted to see if Roy Moore had any daughters … turns out he had two and he has four granddaughters. Somebody ought to check on them, after this week’s charges, and I’m being serious. Also from this story about his wife:
“She also competed in Miss Alabama USA and Miss Alabama World pageants as a teen.”
It makes me ill to see this clown fawning over Xi and Putin. His intentions couldn’t be any clearer: self-enrichment. If you think his conflicts of interest are egregious now, just wait until he leaves office and starts to unfold and cash in on all the emoluments he’s attained while in office, including all those Chinese trademarks. UGH UGH UGH
You know who else is insulted? Americans who want free and fair elections, our Constitution upheld, fealty to the United States of America. I DON'T CARE HOW PUTIN FEELS. https://t.co/5JeGZcfrOp
Trump: "They like to say I watch television—people with fake sources. You know, fake reporters, fake sources. But I don’t get to watch much television. Primarily because of documents. I’m reading documents. A lot."
Per pool, Trump was asked if he and Putin talked Russian meddling. Part of his response:
TRUMP: He said he didn’t meddle, he said he didn’t meddle. I asked him again. You can only ask so many times. … Q: Do you believe him? A: Well look, I can’t stand there and argue with him.
I NEVER thought I'd be living in a country where the top office is held by a @GOP fraud who embraces the country that undermined our sovereignty while @SpeakerRyan@SenateMajLdr nod in agreement.
This isn’t complicated. Putin said Russian troops weren’t in Crimea: a lie. He said his forces weren’t bombing Aleppo: a lie. He says he didn’t interfere in our election & is of course lying. Trump has reasons to vouch for a liar instead of accepting US intelligence https://t.co/5UMVjju0hG
I can’t understand the Americans who still support PP … but if the Deplorable still support him, they need to pass a test first.
They ought to leave their female relatives / friends etc ALONE in the company of the likes of PP, Moore …. then again nothing would surprise me. They may just offer up their daughters sister wives and mothers as offerings!
I watched Dunkirk yesterday. It was so intense and sad. I can’t understand what drives humanity in general to start war and oppression. It is all senseless and needless.
I wish communities around the world would choose to live in peace and harmony.
Questions, anyone?? Photo surfaces of Boris Johnson with Joseph Mifsud. The "London professor" named in FBI docs who's now gone to ground.. ..and who Boris specifically denied meeting. (H/t to @gavinsblog for top digging.) pic.twitter.com/jJwRsLfs9k
I am more convince that Trump is a mental case or Putin has something on him. Do you really think Putin, who murder people who disagree with him, who throw people in jail who disagree with him, is going to admit that he interfered in our election.
Make America Great Again by bowing down to Vladimir Putin. Trump has attack everyone under the sun, he has lied on people, but he has not said one bad word about Putin, not one. Strange isn’t it.
This is another ugly weasel I’d love to see get his comeuppance.
Stephen Miller is the latest person very close to Trump that knew their advisor, George Papadopoulos, was pursuing stolen material on a political opponent from Russia: https://t.co/6obdG2QIGW
At the Constitutional Convention, James Madison imagined impeachment as a relief from a chief executive who “might lose his capacity after his appointment. He might pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation or oppression. He might betray his trust to foreign powers.” https://t.co/5JdzGqWkmG
Trump continues to slam former US intel leaders: “I mean, give me a break, they are political hacks…I mean, you have Brennan, you have Clapper and you have Comey..So you look at that and you have President Putin very strongly, vehemently says he had nothing to do with them”
Do you think for one second President Barack Obama would ASK Putin anything or believe his lies given the mountain of evidence in his possession? #SANCTIONSpic.twitter.com/nPO3hozLC9
TRUMP ABOARD AF1 on accusations of election meddling: “This artificial Democratic hit job gets in the way and that’s a shame. Because people will die because of it. And it’s a pure hit job.” pic.twitter.com/mr3hOYLsrQ
President slams distinguished law enforcement & intel officials who served D and R admins, takes Putin’s word over their findings https://t.co/jogtq8Ihht
John Kelly, H.R. McMaster, Jim Mattis, you now owe the American a public an answer to this question: Do you share Trump's belief Putin did not attack the 2016 election? If not, how can you work for a man colluding with Putin's cover-up?
CIA chief Mike Pompeo: Putin attacked 2016 election. DNI Dan Coats: Putin attacked 2016 election. FBI director Christopher Wray: Putin attacked 2016 election. NSA head Mike Rogers: Putin attacked 2016 election. Putin: I did not attack 2016 election. Trump: I believe Putin.
.@RealDonaldTrump, Maybe you should get your daily intelligence briefing from the Kremlin since you trust Putin more than American intelligence agencies.
one deranged con nutjob holding the entire world and his own country to ransom for over a year and not a single person or an entity or an institution, either singly or collectively, has stopped the thug till now. sad!
♥️ 🙏🏻🕯🕉♥️ Love to you all, big hugs all around {{{ TOD }}}
I think it’s best to stay offline today, beautiful email from Barack, all the rest just seems so sad. Except maybe that photo of Emmanuel Macron kissing the hand of an elderly veteran outside the Eiffel Tower. So very French! Bye for a while. 👋🏼
G’morning to Nerdy & TOD! A special Good Morning and Happy Veterans’ Day to all TODers (e.g., Yardarm, Jovie and others) and other veterans who have served and fought for our country.
Or is it putting unqualified people as heads of agencies to dismantle them from within?
What your favorite part of America First?
Trusting Putin, putting a foreign agent in charge of national security, hiring foreign workers for Mar-A-Lago, tax breaks for corporations that offshore or admiring China for ripping us off?
President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin did not discuss alleged election meddling on Saturday, despite Trump saying they did, according to Putin’s office.
“No,” Putin’s press secretary Dmitri Peskov told CNN when asked, “as far as you know, did the two leaders discuss meddling?”
Trump and Putin met on the sidelines of the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Vietnam.
When asked about his meeting with Putin, Trump told reporters on Air Force One that Putin denied attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election.
“I just asked him again,” Trump said. “He said he absolutely did not meddle in our election, he did not do what they are saying he did.”
Trump said he wasn’t going to argue with Putin about whether he did or didn’t seek to meddle.
“I can’t stand there and argue with him, I would rather have him get out of Syria,” Trump said. “You have President Putin very strongly, vehemently says he has nothing to do with that. Now, you are not going to get into an argument, you are going to start talking about Syria and the Ukraine.”
Is it a "high crime" to side with a foreign adversary that waged information warfare against the United States and collude in covering up that attack? Just curious.
CIA just told me: The Dir stands by and has always stood by the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment entitled: Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent U.S. Elections. The intelligence assessment with regard to Russian election meddling has not changed.
WOW, so on a Saturday morning the CIA has to come out and refute what the President of the United States has to say about Russian election interference.

Yup, 😂
And reading his words will bring you to tears and your heart swell with love for Pete.
I want to marry him now
/whisper – You are too late, remember?/ 😀
I’m working out the minor details. I should have them finalized by the time I see him in January.
So keep it hush hush 😂
‘kay. Not a word out of me!

I’ll will try real hard for you sis
Merci buckets ….. The thought alone will keep me on a high for the next couple of months! 😀 😀
I got mine and I cried as I looked at the pictures. I just want to crawl in the book and go back to those times.
Congratulations, Gail! I am trying to hold off and buy it when Pete comes to Portland in early January for a book talk so I can get it signed. Of course, if one of my darling children gets it for me for Christmas, then all bets are off. 🙂

Thanks Pete Souza ❤️
Yep, it’s a big ‘un!
✌🏾
Is this the one we get when we meet Mr. Sousa in January?
Yes. I’ll have two. I’ll send this one to my sis in Georgia, after I get the signed one in January.
It will be gently used when she gets it 😊
Awesome
I’m glad you mentioned not taking off the plastic. I’m savoring the new book. I’m going to wash up and dress up to read it in the light of day! I’m enjoying all the comments. Wondering if Pete will be in Denver?

Good memories !

Carolyn, if you get more info, please post it. Would love to see Our Nancy on the Telly. 😘
She will be on between 10 and 12 Eastern time, between9 and 11 Central time, and I don’t know the Pacific time schedule. I just saw a brief blip, but there she stood between the two hosts smiling big!
Oh, I see. Sorry, Nerdy, I still believe I can read without my glasses – forgive me?! 🙃🤓
yeah, yeah, don’t bother, I will see myself out.
Watch out; someone might flipfinger. 🙂

good morning to you too.
While reading the Foreword, my mind drifts to the photo’s that we oooh & awww’d over here Together on TOD.
Warm memories 💕
but we knew he was an asshole well before these exposes, didn’t we?
Smut. Who cares about these wicked despicable people when I can look at the lovely photo’s of an honorable man, PBO
Can’t stand this guy ever since he held that stupid self-serving rally on GOTV weekend years ago.

yup. stop wasting money on stupid ads disproportionately. the rate of return on that is pretty dismal.
Exactly. The $10 mil being spent on ads to impeach DT–which is never going to happen with a R Congress–could go so far toward overcoming voter suppression efforts, registering new voters and GOTV.

Goodnight TOD ….
the puppeteer: I didn’t do it.

Thank you, veterans. Thank you for your selfless sacrifice to the country…
Good. Then trial. Then jail.Best.
One of my favorite movies to watch is “Nixon” by Oliver Stone. It was fascinating to watch the disintegration of Nixon’s inner circle.
OMG, this is absolutely atrocious.
You offer career state department personnel as a buyout the measly sum $25,000?
The whole thing is just so gross. It will takes years to fix this awful mess.
Have a good morning TOD’ers.

Jey – “War is good business, invest your son (or daughter)” – old slogan from the Vietnam protests. It’s always about $$$, always.

You don’t say. These fucking traitors need to die in prison

thanks steve for that stenography. you media scumbag assholes were bleating about non-existent Obama apology tour.
Preet Bharara, that’s a good one. But I don’t think Putin want the Senate seat not when he has control of the moron in the White House.
Good West Coast Veteran’s Day morning NW & TOD family.
Thanks for reminding me GGail. Thank You to the Veterans who fought and serve for this country, and to their families, thank you too.

Time to take a knee to protest PP’s support of Putin.

Indeed. Where are all the Patriots? On Veteran’s Day of all days, this blatant disrespect is shown by the so-called Commander-in-Chief.
ITMFA!!!
It’s not unbelievable.
Who’s going to die?
