The Obama Diary 
Morning TOD. I may need a rowboat to get out of my house today, not that I have any intentions of leaving it. Wow, it has been a deluge since yesterday afternoon. Most roads where I live (out in the country) are flooded or have downed trees. Can’t believe the internet is working. So nice to be distracted by all you are posting on TOD. Thank you. Have a lovely day.
CD, stay safe. Glad your internet is working.
Oh wow, cd! Please stay safe. Lots of flooding throughout. Tuck in.
Take care!!!!
That was one of my favorite Anthony Bourdain shows, of course!
Totally agree ….
THIS!!!!!!!
Nerdy-every day I am more grateful for you maintaining TOD. This is the only site I put my faith in to give me the truth, insight to keep me informed. You are a true defender of our Democracy, you hours of work to do so brings me to tears of thankfulness. Thank you a million times over.
Co-signing.
Also co-signing this.
You’re pretty AWESOME, Anna.
Thanks so much!
Co-signing too! Thank you Nerdy!
We love you dearly, NW. I hope you know!!
So grateful everyday for so many years.
I am still having to sign in for every post and reply when I use my laptop, but not when I post from my phone or my Ipad. Did we ever find out why this is happening?
I have the same problem with my mac. In fact, I sign in and it doesn’t even let me like the post. It’s very annoying. But at work, where I am right now, I can. Go figure.
This is the emergency
What a nightmare this administration has engendered by its mistreatment of migrant children. This is awful.
YESSSSSSSSSSSsss…snap👏🏽
Good. Separating children and then disappearing those children should be a crime. This is not how a civilized country behaves.
Hello Everyone,
I’ve been working with WordPress to resolve the issue of some having to sign every time to post or comment on a post. WordPress advises that when you sign in, you need to ensure your Gravatar shows up so that for example when you click on ‘Leave A Reply’ it will show your Gravatar and have you logged in.
WordPress advises that everyone with this problem reach out to them and describe the issue in detail and also let them know what browser you are using. Is it Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer and also what device you are using when you encounter the problem. So if those who are experiencing this issue could please email them at help@automattic.com
Thanks for your patience.
Appreciate that you’ve taken time from your busy schedule to try to determine the problem, NW.
My note to WordPress:
Approximately 10 days ago I encountered a problem unlike any other during the years I’ve participated in the blog discussion forum at The Obama Diary.

Thanks Nerdy. I appreciate your help.
Thank YOU, Nerdy darlin’ !!!!
Trump can be racist and still attempt to sexually assault Black women. Schwartz is an idiot.
What exactly is he hiding in those tax returns? Something doesn’t smell right with this.
This guy Gaetz ….
Everybody’s going after Gaetz – at least on twitter – plus Nancy Smash issued a statement.
He’s a perfect trumpette, who will, nevertheless, not learn from this. He has his orders.
Sounds so good!
This ass needs to be the subject of a House ethics investigation.
This is what Gaetz has on his twitter profile: “Florida man proudly serving the First District in Congress. ‘He’s a machine…handsome and going places’ says @realDonaldTrump” – looks like he’s applying for a job in the administration. Ugh.
This MUST happen.
Absolutely must happen. Gaetz need to be reigned in and he also need to understand that this conduct is not ok. He is a bully just like Trump.
Apparently the Florida Bar Association has a complaint about him. Yes!
Good Evening TODVille.
Good evening!
The campaign staffer who claimed that Putin Jr. grabbed her lips and kissed her during the campaign is putting a great show in Chris Hayes. I hope her lawyers go all the way suing Mini Putin.
Anyone living in Florida, have at it …
Nerdy, am not sure why WordPress keeps asking for login when going from post to post. It’s an endless loop. Had to sign on w/ them, thought I was done, then back to loop. You can’t post anything w/out logging in. Hate to add more to yr plate. Maybe some tech savvy TODer can let me know what to do?
In Trump’s America…
What a disgusting woman.
Rocket Man meets Crazy Man!
From our friend Kat:
If interested to hear some of it early, Don Lemon on CNN is discussing the contents in a copy of Michael Cohen’s opening statement for tomorrow’s hearing, which they have their hands on …
Don’t read from this link, if you’d rather hear the testimony real time from Cohen tomorrow …
Yes… I would love to see his grades and SAT scores.
Only because then he’d know we saw ’em!
Thank you Jacqueline. I’ve read it. Won’t reveal any contents, but WOW!!!!
Yes, big WOW it was!
Goodnight TOD ….
I think we’ve reached a major ‘inflection point’ ….
Rachel Maddow’s show last night was poignant
The Majority Leader knows that Republicans are in the minority and the only way to maintain his power is to undermine democracy by any means at his disposal. Of course he can’t admit to that. So instead, he suggests that a case of Republican election fraud is the fault of Democrats for not believing the lies his party tells about voter fraud in order to suppress the vote.
Coming up:
The ugly truth is all around us.
LIVE now:

What a day to be alive!!!
I know, right? But, guess what? I am listening to Cohen!!! You Conman, Cheat, Demagogue!!!
Not sure we want to embarrass him THAT much – he might turn more orange. Eek.
So true.
North Carolina political operative indicted in election fraud case that upended congressional race
A grand jury in Wake County charged Leslie McCrae Dowless, an operative working on behalf of Republican Mark Harris, with seven counts in connection with ballot irregularities in the 9th Congressional District, the district attorney’s office announced Wednesday.
State election officials last week voted unanimously to throw out the November results of the race between Harris and Democrat Dan McCready after evidence emerged that Dowless led a scheme to improperly collect absentee ballots.
Will Harris be indicted as well?
That was one of my favorites lines from Cohen!
That was one of my favorites, so far!
At this point, a reasonable assessment ….
What Nancy Smash is doing, during the hearing:
I felt the same way when I saw Ms. Patton stand up. I am sure she was embarrassed to be paraded out there on national tv.
I disagree. She felt like Omarosa felt, like Cohen felt: anointed because she is inside the circle of Trump.
New post.

This is the other thing that happened today. (Well said, Senator!)
