The thing I like most about President Obama is that he knows when and where to speak. A lot of people want to him to speak all the time, but he knows when the time is right.
When federal marshals take prez fuckface and vp maggot-pence to prison, it will be clear the 2016 election was illegitimate. (Plus 100s of their thugs.) Every destructive, idiotic decision and action will have to be unwound to the degree possible. President Obama will come back for one year and run a caretaker administration until a new, legitimate presidential election can be held.
Isn't inciting MURDER, let alone ASSASSINATION of Former Presidents & Members of Congress a CRIME? @realdonaldtrump must be indicted & arrested before people die.
The attempt to assassinate 12 people can never be equivalent to yelling at McConnevil in a restaurant.
This guy interrupting, lording it over, marginalizing. Happens to women all the time. What is the solution?
Demonstrating by yelling at politicians that ignore the cries of their constituents by shaming them in a public place is not the same as our President calling government workers and former Presidents evil as well as saying Mexicans are rapists, journalists are the enemy of the people, women are pigs, and humiliating the disabled. Prez Trump encourages violence from his supporters in his speeches calling out others by name so when a crazy person follows his lead by sending pipe bombs to murder those called out people that is a crime, not a constitionally protected right.
Big thanks Nerdy for being here – brilliant work!! Wot a rally! All of the women candidates so stunning and full of vinegar! What a line up! Even the other half of the dynamic duo was there – AG Holder. President Obama (just cain’t help his rock star personhood) delivered a breathtaking series of truths. PBO really told it like it is. Not to be missed…Quoting Sen Stabenow: Thanks Obama!
Tell it, @AliVelshi. Americans have to decide whether they’re going to stand up or bend over … sitting it out is not an option this time around. https://t.co/pjIrymgavG
The dangerous caravan is here already and it was being driven by a violent driver, brandishing Trump regalia, who seems to have been on a mission to make America great the only way that he knew how, writes @julianzelizerhttps://t.co/XtEvT8A0QB
May I break in, for something sweet? My third-oldest granddaughter is finally going for her driver’s license. She’s been nervous about it for years, since she had a rough couple of first times practice driving and kept putting it off. But she went for a long drive today, with her driver’s permit in hand and a calm driver sitting next to her, and felt really good about it and called to tell me. Then she sent me a photo of a 3×5″ card with words on it from her Dad. She keeps the card in her wallet. When my son passed away in late March and his children were all here, and before four of them left to return to Florida, I’d asked them to go through some of their Dad’s things and take whatever they wanted (I have the cutest photo of all five of them wearing his hats and shirts, standing in a row by height in my backyard – love it). The index card had some notes on it that my son (who was a commercial truck driver) had written out for my grandson, when he was teaching him how to drive a year or so ago.
Thought I’d share the words, because we all think they’re more like “Dad’s Instructions for Life” – and what a treasure they are, especially now. He wrote:
Aim high when steering
Make sure they see you
Leave yourself an out
Get the big picture
Keep your eyes moving
(I’m so proud of him, I could burst! Goodnight, TODville!)
Thanks so much (love that “not just drive by” part in a couple of ways). Got to wondering this morning if maybe my son saw this list somewhere – but I’d heard him say some of this forever, so I’m going with his “original thoughts”! He was definitely an original. 🙂 )
Thank you JO’B for sharing your son’s wise words… I would like to be allowed to pass them on to my son, who like your granddaughter has put off getting his license, but will be attending driver’s training classes in a few weeks. I agree – your son’s words of advice apply beautifully to life in general.
I’m going to pass on your sweet idea to share with your son to my own grandkids! My “job” is to keep reminding them that their Dad tried to have a positive impact in life, so they never forget. (Sometimes they remind me, of course.) Pretty sure they won’t, but I’m here to remind the dear ones!
Thank you- You can tell them his words have inspired me and I believe they’ll do the same for my son. So yes a most positive impact that is like that ripple in the stream.
I’m just going to leave this here. Who has the moral compass?
Why Mexico won't repress the caravan: "Residents along the route say they are motivated by the Catholic tradition of charity, a shared familiarity with migration to the US & a sense of solidarity in the face of Trump’s anti-migrant rhetoric" https://t.co/QJ872Yhl6X@partlowj
Rhonda Hart has been trying to get Ted Cruz to meet with her ever since her daughter was fatally shot in her Santa Fe, Texas, high school classroom. Cruz agreed to meet Nov 9, meaning he’s either cocky AF or he wants help moving.
Yet another smoking gun showing how Trump trying to rig 2020 census. Sessions didn't even allow Census Bureau to weigh in on citizenship question that could tank entire census by massively suppressing immigrant responses https://t.co/NaG7re7hmu

Former President Obama speaks in Milwaukee: "I'm hoping you think it's wrong to hear people spend years, months, vilifying people, questioning their patriotism, calling them enemies of the people. And then suddenly you're concerned about civility. Please." https://t.co/sFZPTIcoeFpic.twitter.com/qlfXaf7ASb
Health care decoder for my GOP colleagues: if you voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act you voted to charge patients more for their pre-existing conditions. And saying “I know someone with a pre-existing condition” is not a pass, it actually makes your vote infinitely crueler.
Still sending those “thoughts and prayers”… How’s that working out, America?
We are incredibly saddened to hear of this morning's tragedy at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. We send our thoughts and prayers to all those affected.
Yesterday a Trump supporter/white nationalist gunned down two African Americans at a Krogers supermarket before trying to get into a Black church. When he could not enter the church to kill them he went to the supermarket, killed a man with his grandson and a woman in the parking lot. All week a Trump supporter sent pipe bombs to his leader’s enemies all Democrats. Today another Trump supporter goes to a Synagogue shouts, “All Jews must die”, killing up to 11 people. There was a Bris going on at the time and regular Shabbot services. The media needs to look no further than the WH and occupant that feeds red meat to his supporters. If this is suppose to be the GOP October Surprise they need to really talk to their people that this is NOT how to get the GOP elected.
The Pittsburgh #synagogueshooting comes amid a yearslong rise in anti-Semitism, aided and abetted by a "Nationalist" President who sees "good people" on both sides https://t.co/i46UNeWAjO
Trump jokes that he considered cancelling speech to FFA not b/c of the mass shooting in Pittsburgh, but b/c his hair got wet while talking w/reporters about the shooting.
"At least you know it's mine… I said, 'maybe I should cancel this arrangement b/c I have a bad hair day.'" pic.twitter.com/wLIlqQpENj
Share, because Steve King is part of the problem, not the solution
How do you build a campaign: …that is funded by regular people? …that fights for Iowans, not special interests? …that stands up for common decency? …that bridges divides instead of creating them? …that reaches so many turned off by politics? The answer, is Faith. pic.twitter.com/tj60S2dPO8
The character of the country, indeed. Which way do you choose, America? Thread.
Trump has been railing against the refugee caravan in Mexico as a threat to the nation; Bolton is pushing for U.S. military intervention. Now we find out the Pittsburgh shooter was motivated by a sense that the U.S. is endangered by refugees. Trump's vile words have consequences.
This, and the toilet paper on his shoe. Complete picture of the moron
Turn off the sound on this @FoxNews BS propaganda, but watch Trump simply toss away an umbrella at the door of Air Force One instead of bothering to close it. It's really all you need to know about him in a single image. pic.twitter.com/FHuyQzEuJ2
Well you people elected a racist bigot, all you who look the other way as Trump spread his hate, as he says that Nazis, KKK, White Supremacists are very fine people, you are just to much to blame. And I am talking about Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, Mike Pence,the Trump evangelicals and all the other Republicans who refuse to stand up and speak out loud and clear against any form of racism.
I love this: a bunch of friends launched a campaign to get people to bring a “+1” to vote. Personal friendships are THE most powerful force for convincing people to cast a ballot. Watch, RT, and follow @Plus1_Vote for more!pic.twitter.com/pKLRcC3HOf
"Any death of this sort is a tragedy. Any shooting involving multiple victims is a tragedy. There is something particularly heartbreaking about the death happening in a place in which we seek solace and we seek peace, in a place of worship." — President Obama, June 18, 2015
What a jerk. He can't put off the divisive rhetoric for even one damn day. Not even after everything that's happened this past week. This is what deplorable looks like. https://t.co/0e39N2b4Xs
What Jesus never said: "Feed the hungry only if they have papers." "Clothe the naked only if they're from your country." "Welcome the stranger only if there's zero risk." "Help the poor only if it's convenient." "Love your neighbor only if they look like you." #CaravanaMigrante
there is a direct line from dylann roof to robert bowers. it runs through charlottesville and it carries the weight of this country’s white supremacist legacy.
And for the past two years, it has been legitimized and reinforced, both directly and with dog whistles, by Trump. He encourages this legacy. https://t.co/lJGY20EXj1
The Pittsburgh synagogue shooter, Robert Bowers, killed Jews because he believed they organized and financed the "caravans coming to invade our country."
Ay up!
WHO NAMES the people coming to America on a life and death mission to save their families as: “Caravans”?
Myself have not heard this term before. Trump and GOP have a lot invested in this term – Caravans.
Bowers believed the caravans are “coming to invade” the USA = This is a diirect line to Trump and his goons.
-dear Watson, Trump is responsible for the 11 killed in their Synagogue.
-Lock Him Up.
PBO yesterday unequivocally calling out the lies:
“But what we have not seen before, in our recent public life at least, is politicians just blatantly, repeatedly, baldly shamelessly lying, Making stuff up. Calling up down. Calling black white. That’s what your governor is doing with these ads, just making stuff up. What he’s saying is not true. And by the way, that’s what Republicans in Congress are doing all across the country, on this pre-existing condition thing, they are running ads everywhere saying, ‘We are the ones protecting it’. It’s not true. The president said he’d pass a middle-class tax cut before the next election. Congress is not even in session! He just makes it up. He says ‘I am going to protect your pre-existing conditions’ – while his Justice Department is in court right now trying to strike down those protections. That is not spin, that’s not exaggeration, that’s not trying to put a positive glow on things, that’s lying.”
Matt here. My blood is running cold right now. This was posted on the @BreitbartNews comment section run by @disqus this summer after I was exposed by @DailyCaller. They left it up for FOUR FUCKING DAYS after it was reported. This could have been my family today because of it. pic.twitter.com/eLRYW5yhAe
The two victims of Wednesday's shooting at a Kentucky Kroger were black—and the gunman tried to enter a predominantly black church minutes before the attack. https://t.co/NJyrqj6NP3pic.twitter.com/Et2wyFU4Id
Not a word from that so call President. Just like he had nothing to say about the white man who kill three people (two blacks and one hispanics) at this fast food place in Tennessee. It would have been more kill if this black man had not attack the shooter and held him down.
We grieve for the Americans murdered in Pittsburgh. All of us have to fight the rise of anti-Semitism and hateful rhetoric against those who look, love, or pray differently. And we have to stop making it so easy for those who want to harm the innocent to get their hands on a gun.
A little more than a year ago, President Trump described members of a mob of torch-wielding neo-Nazis chanting “Jews will not replace us!” as “very fine people.” https://t.co/otyEN32xnl
Huh. You made the same “error” when @sam_vinograd and I were both threatened by someone who said they wanted to see us “both in graves” and we got an auto message saying that the post didn’t violate your rules. (You seemed to change your mind when the FBI got involved.) https://t.co/0eDejLydOx
After the 2016 election, Jewish folks in Pittsburgh were some of the first to reach out to me and @jewishaction. They were beside themselves with concern for the safety of others, particularly Latinx people, Muslims, Black people–those who face violence every day
The President of the United States (your father @IvankaTrump) consistently and continuously encourages threats and violence—particularly at his rallies. So your platitudes are useless. https://t.co/T3fb8dXAMb
The WEAPONS PROFITEERS are howling with laughter at your 'thoughts & prayers' as they pour more cash into the pockets of the @NRA, @realdonaldtrump & his @GOP gang of merciless domestic terrorists.
Until they are held accountable, the carnage will NEVER END.
rant, rant.
After killing two fellow humans, Kroger told a bystander “Whites don’t kill whites”. Hmm. Meanwhile Trump vigilantes (trumpenkeiglers?) go around the country beating up those who don’t support him, whites included. (And they say at public meetings they’re doing it on Trump’s behalf.)
Eh so Jews don’t fall into the Trump category of ‘white’? And I thought Trump supported the far-right in Israel (who get him votes here and allow him to wage war on Iran)…And then Israel has a loose alliance to Saudi Arabia that also goes after Iran. And there are dark as well as light Arabs.
I guess Trump really means: Scandinavian Northern Euro white. Probably has no idea that all of us originate in Africa, from where genes for BOTH light and dark skin went forth across the globe. The faux battle for Who Is Really White is like an Ad for the whitest laundry detergent.
But Trump is a scumbag prostitute for cash. He’ll make a deal with the devils. He’ll take a rich off-white any day until he doesn’t.
…Central Americans not giving him any cash thus they are ALL bad guys…

Who could disagree with our real President?
Not I!
No sane person. Not a one, Judith.
Am bleming onions. Lawdy, I miss my President & fab First Lady. Every single day. And that goes for VP Joey & Dr. Jill. ❤
The thing I like most about President Obama is that he knows when and where to speak. A lot of people want to him to speak all the time, but he knows when the time is right.
Well said, Don! He is judicious, not an attention grabber like so many others.
POTUS in Detroit. He’s supposed to speak somewhere between 7 and 7:30 Eastern.
Our Mary is at the event in Detroit. Hopefully we’ll get a wrap up from her.
Trump said he will pass on calling Obama and Clintons. You want to know why he will pass on it, because neither of them would take his call.
When federal marshals take prez fuckface and vp maggot-pence to prison, it will be clear the 2016 election was illegitimate. (Plus 100s of their thugs.) Every destructive, idiotic decision and action will have to be unwound to the degree possible. President Obama will come back for one year and run a caretaker administration until a new, legitimate presidential election can be held.
I wish!!!
Same
How did I miss President Obama speaking in Wisconsin today?
President Obama was in Detroit tonight. Some of those clips were from different campaigns he spoke at.
Didn’t realize that President Obama was going to be in Wisconsin today.
Trump is in North Carolina. Yuke.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are anyone listening to our President? Wow! Is he preaching tonight? Yes he is. Yes he is.
Of course!
True …
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Putin invited himself to the White House.
NW, the bestest 😂😂😂 today! Thank you every single day, moment. ❤
