Hello TODbots.
The Wag The Dog Scheme is on full Gear.
The stupid Mission Accomplish tweet; says it all.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive! – Walter Scott – BrainyQuote.
They can hide, run, cheat, lie, use ugly deceptive Propaganda War making Machines……They #MuellerIsComing For Them
So for the Clearing the Mind on a snowy Saturday Morning in MN, or Midday, Afternoon or Evening depending on your location, fellow TODbots, Thank you Nerdy Wonka on the beautiful Obama Tweet Post.
❤ ❤ ❤ TODville Community.
It appears that Trump has deleted this tweet—the one where, in the last image, you can see John Kelly with his head buried in his palm. pic.twitter.com/ExHgFzGYHH
How the entire world feels about the ongoing #GOPTrumpsterFire™ currently destroying America's legacy and global standing…. featuring *current Chief of Staff, John Kelly. ETA on invoking the 25th? Come on cowards. Save our country! pic.twitter.com/lSmZg0JhAr
.@CALNBC: Contradictions here are incredible. #Trump wants us out of #Syria, yet 150 some odd missiles. Trump wants to help the people of Syria, yet only 11 Syrians have been let into U.S. this year. We’re running a 15-to-1 missile to refugee ratio. 500,000 Syrians killed #AMJoypic.twitter.com/urM30qrNjM
Teachers in Kentucky claim victory as Republicans reject veto by GOP governor, who then blamed educator protests for children being sexually assaulted and poisoned https://t.co/oZvpZE8Ash
Comey says he decided to release his findings of Clinton email investigation before 2016 election because he assumed she would beat Trump: “If I hide this from the American people, she’ll be illegitimate the moment she’s elected, the moment this comes out” https://t.co/a8oDXXmzZYpic.twitter.com/XlrsAc19tS
He thought she would be an “illegitimate” President. That is an abusive word & one that should never be used.
Wonder what sort of a president* he thought trump would be.
Are you just learning that the Republicans are hypocrites? These are the same people who claim to be so against spending debt, till it’s them doing the spending.They mess the economy up and expect the Democrats to step up and clean up their mess.
The 9 minutes of newly found footage from the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco, restored from a 112-year-old film reel, will be revealed publicly on Saturday https://t.co/KQMKxQa3XM
Make no mistake about what’s at stake here: firing Rosenstein would be the same unconscionable assault on the rule of law as firing Mueller. He controls scope of the Mueller investigation and what becomes public. Both D’s and R’s should reject sham excuses to fire Rosenstein.1/2
Over 100 DOJ alumni—some of whom worked in Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II, Obama, AND Trump admins—sign a letter calling on lawmakers to "oppose any attempt by the President or others to improperly interfere" with Mueller probe/DOJ more broadly. https://t.co/yjiz43UgHk
I have Never patronized at a Starbucks, Not Once. I find their Coffee, much ado about Nothing…….Too expensive. I have never accepted a Gift Card nor have ever accepted a friendly cup offered to me by friends, relatives, etc. Now, I am glad that I never bought the hype.
Good morning, NW. Read your Tweets on Beyoncé’s Coachella performance, wow! She served notice, the prologue, the story, and the epilogue of the fullness of Blackness served up with talent and thoughtfulness. She is way over the head of most people in the symbolism, the nods to the diaspora and a clear, in case anyone was left confused before this day, unapologetic, out-loud statement of who and what she is and who we are.
PS white folk didn’t get it or they just don’t want to recognize it. Just read the review from Billboard that was bereft of almost all mention of the symbolism of what she did and wore. They mentioned the nod to Nefertiti and that she opened with “Life Every Vice and Sing” the Black American national anthem, but that was it. However, WE know and understand who/what that show was about: a love song of pride, affirmation, and recognition of the beauty of the Black diaspora and what it has given to the world.
Huge development. If Michael Cohen is confirmed meeting Konstantin Kosachev in Prague, then collusion happened. As I note in the piece, “everyone knows Kosachev speaks for the Kremlin.” Another tantalizing fact: Russian hacker Yevgeniy Nikulin was also in Prague at this time. https://t.co/ViAYukT7mW
"My mom says that black boys get shot because sometimes they don't look their age, and I don't look my age. "I'm 14, but I don't look 14. I'm kind of happy that I didn't become a statistic."
Beyoncé is the greatest living performer we have. The command of that stage is unmatched. She was unapologetically black. From the homage to the African Diaspora, HBCU, the dances, the band, the vocals, the proud portrayal of our culture, etc. BRAVO….BRAVO……BRAVO!!!!!!
Lift every voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring Ring with the harmonies of liberty Let our rejoicing rise High as the list'ning skies Let it resound loud as the rolling seapic.twitter.com/Sii6iozITw
Beyoncé paid homage to Fela Kuti during her coachella perfomance.
Fela Kuti was a Nigerian musician and activist who launched Afro-beat, which then fused American blues, jazz and funk with traditional Yoruba music. #Beychellapic.twitter.com/39z4QD4ymq
Let us recap, friends. 1. Her regal entrance 2. The fringe boots 3. Her voice, on point, for all TWO HOURS of her concert 4. Renaming that dusty lil festival Beychella 5. First black woman to headline Beychella, and how she told them about themselves.
6. The BLACKITY BLACK BLACKNESS of her concert 7. The emphasis on women, black women, WOMEN 8. The black leather outfit with garter and thigh high boots 9. Her body, every inch of it 10. The wig, every technology to keep it in place and flowing appropriately
15. Introducing us to the color yellow. 16. Giving us the whole discography, basically! 17. THE ORCHESTRATIONS 18. Marching band, drumline, probates, choir, HBCU love 19. The flawless back up dancers 20. BOW DOWN
How. in. The. Fuh. Did. She. Pull. That. Shiii. OFF!!!!??? It’s like 170 musicians onstage. I mean the stage plotting. The patch chords. How many monitor boards were used??! Bandleading that shit woulda gave me anxiety. Hats off man. Jesus H Christ.
The Black National Anthem. Malcolm X quotes. Nina Simone samples. Stepping and marching bands. Jigga for the deja vu. A Destiny’s Child reunion. A Solange dance collabo.
The greatest living entertainer is a Black woman named Beyonce. This is not up for debate.#Beychella
Beyoncé Giselle of the House Knowles-Carter, First of Her Name, the Unmatched, Destroyer of Snatched Wigs, Lady of the Third Ward and Iconic Performances, Khaleesi of Black Girl Magic, Breaker of Records and Mother of The Hive.
I just want to say that the Democrats are a strange lot.
Out on the Sunday shows talking about Comey and bashing PBO’s Administration for doing what they consider “little” against the Russian intererence because, just like Comey, they thought Hilliary Clinton would win.
No one is talking about how Hillary did not campaign in vital states e.g Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio for months nor about the massive voter suppression operation launched by Republican run states through voter ID, closing polling places in high minority districts, purging voter rolls and more and the problems caused by the loosening of the Voters Rights Act etc.
One can only hope they have been paying attention and are doing the work on the ground but it is disheartening and very disappointing to see so little defence of the last Democratic Administration.
Starbucks billed itself as a progressive paradise with lounge chairs and daybeds in which one could come and hang out for hours without buying anything. But at the end of the day its nothing more than a place where black men can get profiled if they’re lucky, and arrested if they’re not so lucky. So now we can add “Starbucking” to the list of things that might get you arrested or killed if you’re black.
Beyoncé's Coachella performance was a monument to body diversity and positivity. She had big girls, small girls, thin girls, tall girls, thick snacks, string beans — all body types dancing with her. It was amazing and beautiful.

GA, TOBots. Too much snow for April in MN. Over 1 foot of the white power, heavy and way too much of it.
Thanks Guys for all the Beyonce Tweets…..Wow! The Lady came with Her own Crest……Holy Moly!
So what’s going on with Barbara Bush? She looked fitter than her Husband the last she was interviewed. I hope all is well with her.
More from Bush family: Barbara Bush has been a rock in the face of her failing health, worrying not for herself — thanks to her abiding faith — but for others. She is surrounded by a family she adores, and appreciates the many kind messages and especially the prayers …..
Statement from Bush Sr office: “Following a recent series of hospitalizations, and after consulting her family and doctors, Mrs. Bush, now age 92, has decided not to seek additional medical treatment and will instead focus on comfort care.” https://t.co/vMBl2qu5bs
My book is about ethical leadership & draws on stories from my life & lessons I learned from others. 3 presidents are in my book: 2 help illustrate the values at the heart of ethical leadership; 1 serves as a counterpoint. I hope folks read the whole thing and find it useful.
Beyonce took her fans to school Saturday night when she finally took the Coachella stage, making history – as she said on stage – as the first black woman to headline the music festival. https://t.co/M6fLKJSvdbpic.twitter.com/pCZTAXEYZJ

Dude, other than your BFF @PutinRF_Eng, the laundered $$$ he pumped to you through the @NRA & @RNC (with special credit to @SpearkerRyan), & his total OWNERSHIP of #USStatePropagandaCentral (aka @FoxNews) the person who most enabled your 'election' is @Comey – you ungrateful SOB!
Oh jfc, Nina Turner is on @CNN exhibiting her deep "concern" about the search warrant executed on Michael Cohen and equating it with FBI actions on MLK. It takes a LOT to out stupid Rick "Man On Dog" Santorum, and Turner effortlessly passed that mark by a mile. What a nutbag.
One of those brothers that got arrested at Starbucks had an all too familiar look on his face, it was a look of resignation. I’ve seen that look a thousand times, and it doesn’t get any easier to deal with every time I see it. Oh, don’t worry, this isn’t a preamble to a long-winded diatribe about race. Sometimes I post just to get something off my mind.

My hunch: @AGSchneiderman is carrying the ball on hacking into NY computers and other serious crimes by Trump’s inner circle — the crimes Mueller has carefully avoided charging under applicable federal laws. Avoiding NY’s Double Jeopardy trap while cutting off T’s pardon Power.
If you were paying attention, you knew this almost a year ago. 😉 @AGSchneiderman has had #TeamTreason in his crosshairs for a long time. There is no escaping the legal tsunami, patriots. https://t.co/GHHHLqPQmf
If I were Comey, I would sue president Spanky for defamation. The media also need to challenger president Spanky to produce evidence to support his vicious attacks on Comey McCabe.

Now more than ever, we need a Secretary of State who will stand strong for vigorous diplomacy, not exacerbate President Trump’s proclivity towards conflict. Unfortunately, Mike Pompeo has often demonstrated a similar disposition against diplomacy, so I will oppose his nomination.
I’m not spending ONE CENT at @Starbucks until they release an official statement that everyone involved has been terminated. Not “relocated” or “undergoing training”, FIRED. FIRE THEM ALL.

It's been just over 2 months. We have walked out of school and now, on 4/20, we walk out everywhere. No matter where you are – if it's home, school, or work – walk out. Gun violence can happen anywhere at anytime.

Barack Obama’s is still my President ~
He is the ONLY President ~ ever.
♥️😽🕯🗝🖖🏼
*typo = 😿
This is awesome! THREAD:
This photo would be a great cover for Time magazine.
Yet he works for him and supports him.
Equal Treatment under the law should have guided this decision….since both Candidates were under the @FBI Investigations, respectively.
He thought she would be an “illegitimate” President. That is an abusive word & one that should never be used.
Wonder what sort of a president* he thought trump would be.

Great article. I do hope that the end is near.
I am LIVID.
I have Never patronized at a Starbucks, Not Once. I find their Coffee, much ado about Nothing…….Too expensive. I have never accepted a Gift Card nor have ever accepted a friendly cup offered to me by friends, relatives, etc. Now, I am glad that I never bought the hype.
That manager needs to be fired. I’ve waited for friends in restaurants several times and never been harassed.
Uh-huh. 😯
Good for them😄

Thank You, TOBville Community.
Comfort care is what they told Us about my Mom in early 2009.
So sorry for her & her family.
That’s too bad. It sounds like she’s close to passing.
I thought that she was in better health than GHW, but apparently not.
Anyone know if he mentions President Obama in his book?
Yes.
And of the 5hrs taped interview, only 1hr is to be telecasted tonight.
thank you Nena.
thank you!
When I say this performance was blackity black black, I mean it was BLACKITY BLACK BLACK.
SHE WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!
This is my guy!
Facts ….
typo corrected …
Ominus
is Turner getting paid
One of those brothers that got arrested at Starbucks had an all too familiar look on his face, it was a look of resignation. I’ve seen that look a thousand times, and it doesn’t get any easier to deal with every time I see it. Oh, don’t worry, this isn’t a preamble to a long-winded diatribe about race.

It’s all good. This is our safe place.
Thanks, but I kinda like being in the fire. Its all I know, born and raised in it, but yes this is a great place for us to share our thoughts.
Never did like Starbucks coffee, bitter, awful. Now know their behavior matches their coffee.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Yep, the New York office is going to the mattresses.
Prof Tribe is far from speculating ….
So, so, very, very true ….
Yup ….
If I were Comey, I would sue president Spanky for defamation. The media also need to challenger president Spanky to produce evidence to support his vicious attacks on Comey McCabe.
No doubt …
🙂
Yup ….
In case you needed an example of EVIL ….
Interesting Thread.
