Noted then & today how The Corp Media & the Right Wing Media, of course had ‘issues’ addressing President Obama as POTUS. Today they freely & easily call the Russian Installed Inept Lying Dotard a Title he Never earned.
Good Evening, TODbots.
There was/is a guy named Andy Kim running for Congress in NJ. I found out 2 days ago that he actually won. He’s part of the💙🌊👏👏
When I saw a tweet from him a while back, I replied with Songs from Andy Kim, a Lebanese Canadian songwriter & Singer. I hope I didn’t offend him. You see, He’s Asian American. I know now. I didn’t want to ever come off as Othering him in any way.
EXCLUSIVE: Michelle Obama takes Robin Roberts back to her childhood home in ABC News prime-time special for her new memoir 'Becoming' – “A First Lady’s Journey: Becoming Michelle Obama” airs TONIGHT at 9|8c on @ABC. https://t.co/SthfGOmEM9pic.twitter.com/4CEaehAg3N
The majority of Americans clearly agree with you and are striving to rectify the moral collapse of America that began with #Nixon & culminated with the illegitimate installment of @realdonaldtrump by #Putin & his @GOP & #USMedia minions.
– Spent more on the military – Visited troops 7 times (zero visits by trump) – Took out Bin Laden – Stood up to Putin – Stood by our allies – Rescued economy – Unafraid of rain
Over 20,000 absentee ballots rejected in Florida, disproportionately from Democratic voters. This is the real voter fraud Rick Scott should investigate https://t.co/oC90IJdCXV
Kyrsten Sinema is going to be the duly elected US Senator from the state of Arizona. She won because Mcsally ran as a Trump clone. The election was fair and Corey Gardener should not be a party to further degrading trust in important in our democracy. https://t.co/F0ORnw5Biq
This would be a good time for all the Never Trump GOP strategists to tell their pals at the NRSC to knock this shit off. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the vote counting in Arizona. https://t.co/tMPeet67mR
Senator Cotton is remarkably ignorant (and it’s probably intentional) of the law as it applies to asylum claims. They must present themselves at a border. That’s the policy. https://t.co/cn7G4442rA
Don't call her a racist because that will embolden her. Instead, @washingtonpost@nytimes@maddow@lawrence should delve into her family history and report on every family member who participated in a hanging, including the 1964 murder of 3 civil rights workers in ole Miss.
Commercial break: Michelle is keeping it 100% real and telling it all. Will not spoil it for west coast viewers, but some surprising info. comes out. Cannot wait until my copy of Becoming gets here!Squeee
Respect to her father for teaching about money and budgeting, and respect to @MichelleObama for keeping it real and honest in her sharing of her life experiences. https://t.co/nKEk61YSyq
Michelle says when her and Barack went to marriage counseling they learned how to talk through their issues and that their individual happiness was on each individual person. She started working out and doing her more. #abc2020#michelleobama#becomingMichelle
I never buy audible books because I find this intrusive, boring and frankly, rather creepy. However, I will be adding the audible version of Becoming to go with my hard copy.
I ordered the hard copy. I’m gonna get the audible too. I like audio books. For fictional ones, if the narrator is good, for me it enhances the read of the hard copy. For nom-fiction ones like this one and PBO’s I like the intimacy of hearing them tell their story in their own voice.
I am an avid audible book consumer. I listen while I clean house, while I drive, while I cook, I am a multi tasker. I love them. They have changed my life. I go through more books than ever. However with the books I love I get both.
It’s not actually an interview. They talk about the person rather than interview them. It was narrated and produced by Katy Tur. In my opinion it was terrible. Katy included several white triggers including Rev Wright. If you want to understand why 53% of white women voted for Trump, watch it. But if you’ve already figured that out don’t waste your time. I deleted it after watching it for about 15 minutes.
I have to disagree. I thought it was a good exploration of their life on the campaign trail and her influence and help to her husband. They brought up the hate & unfair opposition they experienced throughout the campaign and how she handled it. I thought it was a good compliment to the one on ABC with a slightly different prospective. I enjoyed Michelle night.
Headliners is only about others talking about her, positively so far, she is not on it. I see that Michelle favors ABC, no use for CBS or NBC for the most part.
“There’s power in allowing yourself to be known and heard, owning your unique story, and using your authentic voice. And there’s grace in being willing to know and hear others. This is how we become. “ –@MichelleObama
I think with this book she has recaptured – publicly – her “previous life.” We might have thought she would have done that almost immediately upon leaving the White House, but I think she used this book to let us know “I’m one of you, again,” even though she never will be anything but a woman superstar to the country and the world! But if she wants to be one of us again – just another woman, just another American (like that time she shopped, incognito, in Target while the Secret Service stood by, and she got away with it) – I’ll go along and pretend that she is, for her sake.
Truth be told, I’m so glad she does not want to go into politics herself. We had eight years of seeing how some people in this country treated her husband, and I do not want him (or us) to see them treat her that way. I pity the fool who’d try it.
Michelle and I are heartbroken for everybody who’s lost so much in California, and grateful for the heroism of the firefighters who’ve been risking their lives around the clock to save others. Please do what you can to help our fellow Americans in need: https://t.co/13rm1D6Rwk
Thanks so much for sharing your responses. You ladies have me on tenterhooks awaiting my chance to me moved to tears! As I’m a “far-inner” I usually have to wait until some intrepid TOD reporter posts full interviews like Michelle’s before I get all the scoop – very frustrating (meaning nail-biting).
I notice that the newscasters like to repeat, and repeat, the bit about Michelle not forgiving the WH Idiot, but I didn’t read her comment in the same way. Being that I love words I tend to pay attention to the nuances more often than not, and my current take is that her words tell me she *would* never forgive The Idiot if his actions & words had caused actual violence against her family.
“What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk. And for this, I’d never forgive him.”
Anyhoo, I suspect I’ll have to wait until I’m home from work tomorrow to find the full interview here in the TOD village.
Michelle Obama’s "Becoming" book tour kicks off Tuesday at the United Center with Oprah Winfrey and an audience of about 14,000. Before that, the former first lady will have her very first book signing, @lynnsweet reports. https://t.co/rACa5recTe

Our FLOTUS being authentically lovely in her interview on ABC tonight. A treasure for women and girls the world over, she is willing to share personal stories and be accessible to us, to connect with young people and pass on the baton. I so love to see her and hear her voice. Hoping to snag a copy of “Becoming” pronto. Congratulations, thanks and hugs to our First Lady!!
Have to say, I loved how the MSNBC special ended w/ that darling little girl enraptured by the portrait of our FLOTUS at National Gallery. BTW there’s still a long line to see the 2 portraits — our POTUS & FLOTUS. I love Smithsonians, my places of beauty, joy & peace. ❤
My memoir comes out tomorrow, and I couldn’t be more excited. I honestly can’t wait for you to read it – so I’m not going to! Check out a little sneak preview of BECOMING: https://t.co/jhOOqJhfSF#IAmBecoming
Isn’t it time to go after Kemp for being SOS and candidate while cutting votes and openly finaigling the books? If not why not?
Now he has ‘resigned’ but is still pulling the strings? looks like an issue as big as the election!
I honestly don’t understand how every single one of his shenanigans has been allowed from the moment he declared his candidacy. Why aren’t ALL Democrats screaming from the rooftops about his criminal interference every step of the way? WHY? SMH.
Typical white guy thinking it’s all about him. That unbelievable sense of entitlement many of them have. Ugh! And he doesn’t consider anyone else with his actions. I’ve approached people doing things like this, but not this bad, and they look at me like I’m crazy or something and tell me to go “f” myself, and I’m an older white woman. It is one of my biggest peeve’s, no “pet” about it. A full blown peeve!
Morning to you, cd4biden:) Beautiful painting:) Have a good day yourself! I’m off work for Veteran’s Day today….feels great because I worked all weekend and this is my 1 day off:)
From a pathological liar. What a shocker. Florida, put your head down and do the work.
AP Fact Check: Trump is making baseless charges of "stealing" Florida elections.
"Voting fraud … in fact, is extremely rare. Trump often asserts that voter fraud is a significant issue, but has not provided evidence of consequential fraud." https://t.co/DGO5UGpyXN
I have NO IDEA why anyone takes anything he ever says, seriously. He has a big ass problem with his incessant lying. About things big and small. If he can tell a lie about anything, he does. Something is psychologically wrong with him
Yeah, it’s not an individual moment of decision given the circumstances. It’s an entire way of life. His children and wife who admire him deeply and defend his obvious incapacitating insanity have the same illness.
Saw on Twitter few minutes ago there’s a lid at WH and orange man will not be going to Arlington Cemetery to lay the wreath for Veteran’s Day event. ?!?!?!?!?!?!
Trump is so blatantly dysfunctional, complete unable or interested in carrying the most basic duties of the office. The extent and magnitude of his criminal activities are about to be revealed in full public view. https://t.co/xVzont0mba
Thank you for all the work you and @DrBiden did to create @JoiningForces to care for veterans and their families and all the days and nights you acknowledged their sacrifices and their struggles and honored and celebrated their contributions. You served our country with dignity.
I was watching Michelle Obama’s interview with Robin Roberts last night and it struck me. Michelle had to carry centuries of black folk on her back when she took her first step into the White House. Just imagine you being the first person in your family to go to college, now multiply that by one billion, the weight of expectation becomes unbearable. What a phenomenal woman.
I listened to MO’ interview on NPR and again the same political questions about running for office. For the first time I heard how she went to school with Jesse Jackson’s daughter and saw first hand the toll politics did to the kids. MO’s father participated in local Chicago politics and it turned her off of politics. She has been consistent in saying it is not her cup of tea and she would never choose that career path. She said there are other ways to affect change politically and she is doing it with the young people, encouraging them to go to college, young women, and supporting them as candidates.
I loved listening and watching Michelle Obama’s interview last night. I’m probably alone in this but I actually didn’t care for the way Robin Roberts interviewed her, focusing on controversy and approaching her like she had to defend her authenticity. I just thought she could have asked deeper, more important questions that weren’t about politics but about her as an individual. I think Oprah has a better rapport with her.
Yep I noticed that also, I remember Tracee Ellis Ross interviewing Michelle and it was as if they were sisters. They seemed to share something that was deep and knowing, and Michelle was flowing.
YES, EXACTLY!! That was a great interview!! And I really loved Oprah’s exiting the White House interview. Robin seemed more like a Sunday show taking head checking off the boxes from HQ. I like Robin. I just thought she could have been more human.
The President is spreading conspiracies in order to delegitimize election results, and thinks that military ballots in Florida shouldn’t be counted. On Veterans’ Day. That story should lead the news everywhere.
Thanks for this JER. I don’t tweet, etc., but it didn’t stop me from just sending an email around to all my friends informing them of this disgracefulness.
This Veterans Day, we are grateful for the #WalkOfAmerica team and all they have done to raise awareness around veteran mental health needs. pic.twitter.com/xPTx4WMG18

On another note, OMG!! One of the comments under the above video mentions 46-1’s avoiding the rain in France, and jokingly says Native American Rain Dancers have never been more busy. That they will be appearing at Trump rallies and events soon. Would that it were true!!

This post brought back the wonderous memories of earlier this summer. I was sitting in my backyard resting after some yard work when I noticed a bunch of butterflies, not monarchs, flying through my yard. A few minutes later another bunch of 10 or so flew through. Then another, and another. So I really focused on them and realized there were hundreds of them flying through my yard and the pasture next to my house and the large yard on the other side of my house. And it went on for most of the afternoon!!
Apparently is was the annual migration of a particular species of butterflies, and I had never seen it before. Absolutely magical. I sat there in awe, much as my granddaughter did 2 years ago, the first time I introduced her to bubbles. Thank you for reminding me of the magic of nature.
To the folks *splaining forest management: Yes, there are lots of reasons these fires are big. That’s not the point; read the thread and listen to what @MichaelMann said in my later tweet. If climate change didn’t exist these fires would’ve been far more manageable.

Wow! The Stacey Abrams campaign has filed a lawsuit to enjoin certification of the Georgia gubernatorial results pending further curing and counting of absentee & provisional ballots. https://t.co/dTaYmlQpJ0
And in a real democracy, you can always have confidence that there will always be a next election that will be free and fair. We're fast approaching the point that if Repubs win big in one more election there won't be any more that are free and fair.

So it appears that the CARAVAN is not going to save Trumpster MCSally.
Here’s what should be done with her remarks.
PRAISE GOD..THE BAN HAS BEEN LIFTED NEAR MY SON’S HOME…THEY DO RESTORATION WORK AND ARE GOING TO HELP OTHER HOMES..<3
All hands on deck for the Mississippi runoff election. Please let Espy kick CHS’s rear end out of the Senate.
Electoral college system needs to be changed to reflect true representation of all.
Maybe that can go on the ballot next time, for reform.
Commercial break: Michelle is keeping it 100% real and telling it all. Will not spoil it for west coast viewers, but some surprising info. comes out. Cannot wait until my copy of Becoming gets here!Squeee
It’s On! It’s On! 😍
I didn’t cry until she was in the dance class! ❤
I cried the whole hour. 😁
It was like getting a big hug from her – and being able to give it back!
I know right?
My heart is breaking and I’m so grateful for these fire personnel. I don’t know how they do it.
Blessings on them and all of California.
Totally agree with you Meta. So very proud of these firefighters. this photo should be framed and placed in a museum somewhere.
You could sense the heat when she said, “I love my husband; A LOT.
Could you blame her?
NO NO NO NO NO!!!!
I never buy audible books because I find this intrusive, boring and frankly, rather creepy. However, I will be adding the audible version of Becoming to go with my hard copy.
I ordered the hard copy. I’m gonna get the audible too. I like audio books. For fictional ones, if the narrator is good, for me it enhances the read of the hard copy. For nom-fiction ones like this one and PBO’s I like the intimacy of hearing them tell their story in their own voice.
yes…
I am an avid audible book consumer. I listen while I clean house, while I drive, while I cook, I am a multi tasker. I love them. They have changed my life. I go through more books than ever. However with the books I love I get both.
I have never seen this show. What kind of interviewer is she?
It’s not actually an interview. They talk about the person rather than interview them. It was narrated and produced by Katy Tur. In my opinion it was terrible. Katy included several white triggers including Rev Wright. If you want to understand why 53% of white women voted for Trump, watch it. But if you’ve already figured that out don’t waste your time. I deleted it after watching it for about 15 minutes.
I have to disagree. I thought it was a good exploration of their life on the campaign trail and her influence and help to her husband. They brought up the hate & unfair opposition they experienced throughout the campaign and how she handled it. I thought it was a good compliment to the one on ABC with a slightly different prospective. I enjoyed Michelle night.
So it’s an evening with Michelle! 😁
I’m just sitting here crying. I love Forever FLOTUS! I want to give he a hug!
I know, right? Love her even more.
For all the snippets of Michelle Obama’s chat with Robin Roberts…there are many:)
Michelle will be on GMA on Tuesday and Ellen on Thursday. Will also be on Jimmy Kimmel but not sure which day.
Okay that was great. Now on to the MSNBC show about Mrs. O.
Headliners is only about others talking about her, positively so far, she is not on it. I see that Michelle favors ABC, no use for CBS or NBC for the most part.
I think with this book she has recaptured – publicly – her “previous life.” We might have thought she would have done that almost immediately upon leaving the White House, but I think she used this book to let us know “I’m one of you, again,” even though she never will be anything but a woman superstar to the country and the world!

Amen to that

There will be NO OTHER FLOTUS like OUR forever FLOTUS Michelle Obama.
Amen to that.
Thanks so much for sharing your responses. You ladies have me on tenterhooks awaiting my chance to me moved to tears! As I’m a “far-inner” I usually have to wait until some intrepid TOD reporter posts full interviews like Michelle’s before I get all the scoop – very frustrating (meaning nail-biting).

Beautiful Michelle
Keep this going people! When we ALL vote, we get closer to the country we want to reflect us
Ouch. Doctors know
This is sick.
Isn’t it time to go after Kemp for being SOS and candidate while cutting votes and openly finaigling the books? If not why not?
Now he has ‘resigned’ but is still pulling the strings? looks like an issue as big as the election!
How much more evidence do we need to say something about the validity of this election?
I honestly don’t understand how every single one of his shenanigans has been allowed from the moment he declared his candidacy. Why aren’t ALL Democrats screaming from the rooftops about his criminal interference every step of the way? WHY? SMH.

Yeah, it’s not an individual moment of decision given the circumstances. It’s an entire way of life. His children and wife who admire him deeply and defend his obvious incapacitating insanity have the same illness.

I hate it when the media uses words like “misleading rhetoric.” Why not say what it is “LYING”.

Yep, that’s correct. He is an abomination.

Morning Dudette,
This post brought back the wonderous memories of earlier this summer. I was sitting in my backyard resting after some yard work when I noticed a bunch of butterflies, not monarchs, flying through my yard. A few minutes later another bunch of 10 or so flew through. Then another, and another. So I really focused on them and realized there were hundreds of them flying through my yard and the pasture next to my house and the large yard on the other side of my house. And it went on for most of the afternoon!!
Apparently is was the annual migration of a particular species of butterflies, and I had never seen it before. Absolutely magical. I sat there in awe, much as my granddaughter did 2 years ago, the first time I introduced her to bubbles. Thank you for reminding me of the magic of nature.
Read this…
Since Don reminded us about this GREAT interview, we have to have it at our fingertips to watch again:
And here’s the interview with Oprah.
I guess Melania thought Michelle gave her the green light to copy and plagerize her….
Hi meta! Hope you are doing well.
Thanks for lining up my evening viewing for me. 🙂
i love thisss
