The Obama Diary 
Afternoon TOD. Boy I sure would like to meet POTUS and FLOTUS!
Have a great rest of your weekend.
Hey Nerdy and TOD’Ville, I hope all is well with everyone. Thanks Nerdy for all you do to maintain and sustain TOD’Ville. The 👍🏾🤗❤
😀
Thank you so much for all you do, Nerdy. This place always makes me smile and keeps me sane. Xoxoxo
same same same same same
Ditto! 🙂
It sure does. Thanks Nerdy.
Thank you all.
Yikes
*um….well….bye
Sorry 😂

When Graham look him self in the mirror is he proud of what he has become? He used to put the country ahead of party, not any more. Graham has sunk so low that John McCain wouldn’t know who the hell he is now.
thinking about the reports that traitor-in-chief has previously been observed to tare up and “eats” notes/documents;
how does this relate to the current reports that he confiscated the notes of the interpreter ????
how is his digestive system able to handle that kind of “roughage” ????
********
1) Seems to me the Mafia Global Corporates have decided that Putin should, can, and will have access to the United States.
2) So we mustn’t get stuck where they want us to get stuck.
******
Urge all of you to read this if you already haven’t ….
Trump is a visible node – part of a complex global network of mafia, corporates, and politicians.
GET IT ON!!! Statement from the above ….
“The integrity of our process to serve as an independent check on the Executive Branch must be respected by everyone, including the President. Our nation’s laws prohibit efforts to discourage, intimidate, or otherwise pressure a witness not to provide testimony to Congress. The President should make no statement or take any action to obstruct Congress’ independent oversight and investigative efforts, including by seeking to discourage any witness from testifying in response to a duly authorized request from Congress.”
I must say that i am frightened by the whole thing…
So can House Democrats take action against Nunes or will he get away with his attempt to cover up for Trump? Something should be done to him to send a message to other Republican traitors.
Instead of leading the world away from its worst impulses, as America did for most of the 20th century, President Donald Trump’s demands for a wall on the U.S. southern border look to be leaning closer to the autocratic acts and optics of tyrannical regimes.
Throughout history, autocratic leaders have relied on walls to control their people. From the fierce tyrant who first began building China’s Great Wall in roughly 220 BC to Soviet leader Nikita S. Khrushchev (my great-grandfather as it happens) who ordered construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, walls have represented undemocratic forces. … https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-s-wall-mexico-follows-footsteps-authoritarian-leaders-throughout-history-ncna956411?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma
That’s a powerful article condemning Trump’s authoritarian tendencies and his desire to build a divisive wall. Republicans need to read it and learn something about how walls have always been contentious no matter where they are built.
Boom!
So true Rev. Barber. So true. If President Obama were investigated for being a Russian asset the GOP would have Impeached him. And we can only imagine what right wing hate radio would be saying, the lies Fox would be saying, and what that pathological liar Trump would be tweeting.
It’s also the definition of Republicanism – they protect their own; they destroy anyone else.
I only hope that Pence will ‘ve keeping PP company behind bars! They are all tainted. I feel the only truth PP has ever uttered is when he said ‘the election is rigged” in campaign rallies in 2016. He knew.
THISSSSSSS👇🏾👇🏾
Ditto!! This!! Word!! Been saying this for months and said it many times.
So where do #WeThePeople go from here…i am frightened for America
Let’s face it. Republicans in Congress knowingly and deliberately disobey their oaths of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States every day that they protect Donald Trump.
Why is Vanity-Wall-Border-Lover smiling? His handler is not.
These protesters at the White House are still there – still phenomenal!
More and more dangerous
WOW, this could have ended up very badly.
Yeah. Sure could have
Good Monday morning, TODville.
Beauty Break:
Just another example of Trump’s awfulness.
WOW
Morning everyone
So Trump says he was not a Russian asset, come on now are we to believe this man who lies every time he opens his mouth. I hope he enjoy his speech in Nashville.
OMG!! Prepare to be amazed!! Watch this:)
What a JOYful perfprmance….what skills she has…my granddaughter took both Rythmic Gymnastics…and ballet….one thng she told me that you had to be strong but soft!….smile….
She was fabulous!! Glad you enjoyed as much as I did 💕
devastating talent.
(did a bit of gym meself – about 0.00001 of what this suprastar did, heh.)
Yes, it is! I’ve tweeted it and put on Facebook. The comments on Facebook from people are astounding.
Love that she has a real body. She once competed with Simone Biles and the team; had a thin, arrested development body and suffered many injuries and lost her love of the sport according to NBC news segment. Went to UCLA, joined their team and is having the time of her life. I would rather watch gymnasts like her than any of the sad, intense little girls that make up the Olympics teams.
hear ye, hear ye:
“there is a terrible rhetorical habit of treating GOP conduct toward Trump as mere passive acquiescence. In fact, this is better seen as an active enabling, on one front after another. And we are likely to learn much more about just how damaging this has been soon enough.”
Good Morning, TOD!
Thank you, Nerdy and all of you, for keeping me informed every day.
I like her…
FTR…ANYONE that is nominated by Trump for AG…will have as its first mission to derail the Russian Investigation…now more than ever
POWERFUL..
It’s time we acknowledge that brands, like ours, play a role in influencing culture. And as a company that encourages men to be their best, we have a responsibility to make sure we are promoting positive, attainable, inclusive and healthy versions of what it means to be a man. With that in mind, we have spent the last few months taking a hard look at our past and coming communication and reflecting on the types of men and behaviors we want to celebrate. We’re inviting all men along this journey with us – to strive to be better, to make us better, and to help each other be better.

here is the video…
I concur, well done Gillette.
Wow, brought tears to my eyes.
Unpaid TSA folks not turning up for work, tired, and fed up = GUNS on planes.
“An airline passenger carried a gun through the TSA checkpoint at Atlanta’s airport and carried it all the way through to his overseas destination, according to a report from Channel 2 Action News.”
https://www.ajc.com/news/just-atlanta-passenger-gets-gun-through-tsa-and-japan-destination-reports-say/1y0uAEI8kme7o5miKNiAGM/
-Why should TSA personnel shoulder the responsibility of protecting national security when their families are neglected, bills unpaid.
-What does the right hope to gain from this? Fear-mongering? Are you disposed to fly now that you know a gun could be on the plane?
Human safety on flights affects business, tourism and government: Short-sightedness, indifference or strategy?
I think, bridgeriver, that Putin is having Comrade Frump do anything he can to disrupt the American way of life in an effort to bring this country to its knees. What I think Putin does not understand is the American will to succeed, to endure, to overcome whatever obstacles are in our way. He does not understand how we rise from the ashes again and again, how we take what little we have and share it with our neighbors and with strangers when necessary. So while it is scary and unnerving, and there are definitely innocents that are being hurt, it is imperative that we all remember who we are, Americans, and that we are better than this. How appropriate that the Gillette video is right above your comment. In this case, the world is watching us and how we are responding and will respond to this calamity we are enduring. Hold strong everyone.
cd4b,
Imperative to see the global Mafia/Corporations/Politicians strategy.
And not get stuck in the distraction weeds.
(And still hack through the weeds.)
I agree. We are supposed to be too distracted to pay attention to the treason going on in the US government. At this point, any time you see a GOP politician you know that he/she is either defending the indefensible or actively engaging in it. Nothing else is possible for them.
Happy Monday, TODville! Wake me from my siesta, if trump’s taken away in shackles. Thank you. 🙂
wilco.
Have you seen the clip played on AM Joy’s show yesterday … a movie from the 1950’s where one of the characters named Trump who is a con-man (trying to convince ppl that a wall is needed 🤣) is told that he is under arrest by the sheriff.
I don’t know the name of the movie though, sorry. So J’ob- it’s a small temporary feeling of consolation even if it’s only on tv 🤷♀️
Oh, yes – thanks for the reminder – I saw that clip on Joy’s show! Unbelievable, eh? Can’t wait for the arrest!
On what planet should this EVER be ok????
That is truly weird.

Sorry. Start here
President Obama will speak at the Scotiabank Saddledome on March 5.
Whew…chile. I logged on and it has been a mess today. The racism is flying all over the place. Thought I was the only one who noticed the levels.
I am one of those Black people who majored had a minor in Journalism, worked on the college newspaper, later had a job in public relations all before becoming a teacher who taught writing, critical thinking, journalism and literature. So tired of white folks who know nothing and are not interested in finding out about how Black people really live having so many damn ignorant opinions that they spread all over media.
White farmer (Brent) in Kanahwa .. interviewed on tv doesn’t seem to have any ill feeling toward PP. Just WOW.
And somehow some on the left think that we as a party need to do a better job of reaching out to people like this, I say fuck him. Let his ass believe in the trump as trump goes about fucking this asshole’s life up.
I don’t think we can … and that interview was on MSNBC btw. I really wish that PP supporters reap what they sow.
Back in 2015 I took a road trip from Toronto to Chicago and then to Memphis / Nashville and back. One of the things I saw while driving was a giant billboard with derogatory messaging about PBO. Right there… out in the open … giant billboard clearly visible from the highway! I was SHOCKED. I had not seen anything like that – I forget now which state that was in but ….
Why are these ppl so full of hate …. is it a chemical imbalance??? If it’s a colour thing … do these ppl hate darker skinned animals like they hate darker skinned humans????? I know I’ll never understand it but I wonder, nevertheless.
Jey, I am embarrassed (Obviously!!!!) to say that that billboard was on I40 in TN. Granted, there could have been another one on your route, but I know there was one on I40. What is wrong with people? Nevermind, I know the answer to that. 😦 😦 😦 😦
The black farmer was on MSNBC and he was no fan of Trump like the white farmers are.
Yes he came on after the first farmer was interview and he had a good response. Said the white farmer sees himself in Trump.
I wondered at that time why we were not hearing more about their visit to Russia.
I believe with my heart that this man deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Thank you, Chef
Agreed 100%. This is what humanity should look like.
Saint Wow José, thank you.
Fact: “95% the staff at the office of Food and Nutrition Service – which oversees SNAP benefits and other food programs- is now on furlough and no longer receiving pay.” (Business Insider) Fact: SNAP is uncertain beyond February.
President Barack Obama signed Veterans Choice Bill in August 2014: (LYING TRUMP claimed today that he passed it.)
“VA summary of the bill said it would “allow those Veterans who are unable to schedule an appointment within 30 days of their preferred date or the clinically appropriate date, or on the basis of their place of residence to elect to receive care from eligible non-VA health care entities or providers. This is separate from VA’s existing program providing Veterans care outside of the VA system.” (politicus.usa)
Jason Easley: “The legislation didn’t take 44 years to pass, and it wasn’t Trump’s idea. Trump’s biggest accomplishment has been trying to let his Mar-a-Lago buddies come up with a way to privatize the VA. Donald Trump has done virtually nothing for veterans, and one of his other favorite myths, the 10% pay raise for active duty military, is also a lie. Trump has so few legislative accomplishments, that he has to steal Obama’s.
In general, Republican presidents do much less for veterans than Democratic presidents. it’s the same thing with the economy. The US economy fares better under Democrats than under Republicans but the Republicans take credit for every good thing that the Democrats do.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. My hairdresser didn’t like Trump but she was “afraid” of Hillary Clinton so she wasted her vote on Jill Stein of all people. A vote for any third party candidate was a vote for Trump but she clearly didn’t understand that.

Darn it. I thought it would show up
Thanks, JER:)
❤️
You don’t say
Yes, please.
UGH, this MORON.
Deplorables – trump and sarah. Ugh.
Man oh man, what a disgusting moment in history. I keep waiting for that wave to wash over us and cleanse this mofo mess.
I might have that last line of yours embroidered on two pillows and send you one! It was like a line of perfection! Hang in there, darlin’. I know I’m trying. (I, similarly, sent a message to my friend earlier with the line: JUST PUT TRUMP IN PRISON AND BE DONE WITH IT!)
LOLz!!
I’m disappointed that the team agreed to go to the Trump White House. It would have been better for them to show some solidarity with furloughed federal workers and some sympathy for the victims of Trump’s border disasters.
Thread. Pretty much covers it so far

Another Beauty Break.
The Presidio is one of my favorite places and not far from where I live.
Gorgeous!
Inorite? LOVE IT every day.
Beautiful, Meta. Thank you for sharing it.
You are welcome, terri!
I wrote the other day to Sen. Gary Peters (D, MI) who is on the Armed Services Committee. My Michigan town is a Coast Guard City and we are very proud of the Coast Guard presence here. I think members of the US Coast Guard should receive the same protections as members of the other branches of the US military during these histrionic GOP temper tantrums which seem to occur every few years. We expect them to do their duty for us; we should do the same.
am I the only one who is confused by ABC’s WH correspondent, Jon Carl, statements related to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s final report about traitor-gate?
New post.

Nah. The GOP is trying to distract, once again, from the reality of their involvement in the Russian collusion mess – which they created by choosing their presidential candidate in 2016. A little integrity then might have prevented the mess we’re all in now. And, where were these GOP noble men during the 8 years that President Obama was in office? They were busy saying “no” to everything.
Agree! And I can assure you my “hot damn” was snark!
I want to see the Republican party go down to being known as “the former Republican party.”
