The Obama Diary 
Good evening TOD. Can you imagine what it must feel like to look up and see Michelle Obama entering your room?!! Every time I see one of these I think how the lives of those girls are profoundly changed from that moment on.
These people are shit. Can’t sugar coat it

Michelle is a rock star without the pretensions that often come with that role.
I love Laurence Tribe (and his authenticity) with a passion!
Agree with Laurence Tribe.
Michelle Obama’s book tour is in Cleveland tonight.
It’s an exceptional book. Have enjoyed every sentence!!
Thanks for these Bobfr and meta. I love Mayor Pete. His most recent 2 interviews are jaw dropping. I do not know how a 37 yr old can be so wise and comfortable with himself. If people don’t know about him, here are 2 amazing interviews with him, with CNN and with Dan Pfeiffer. Reminds me a lot of Obama. Only problem is he makes me feel so old because he is younger than my 2 daughters. 🙂

Thank you for sharing these, cd4biden!
Rick goes cosmic ….
Rick’s one of those who are the “kings of the takedown.” Love it.
Perfect!
This comment was supposed to go below the Chris Murphy tweet.
Not sure if this topic has been covered (got some reading back to do!), but I watched my recording of Rev. Al’s show … and he asked Doug Thornell, former DNC senior advisor, if he’d heard that Joe Biden had met with Stacey Abrams this week. Doug said if she and Joe were talking about the race, he’d like to see Joe “pick Stacey to be his running mate and run with her during the primary.”
Now, there’s a thought.
I repeat myself ….
But, I know it will work better than any other form of regulation because even when the weapons are stolen or purchased on the ‘black market’ the profiteers will still be held accountable.
Has President Obama released his bracket yet for the tournaments?
Hope that other states follow
Egad! but Steph Curry gave the lads a run for their money tonight!…
Beautiful.
This thread from a lawyer is awful – and informative – at the same time. Some of it is perhaps instructional:
Various perspectives, same core disease ….
In case anyone wonders why ‘they’ hate us ….
Yes, in_deed, a million times yes ….
Goodnight TOD ….
for real … it’s the only way to shutter the war industry.
Sky New Zealand has pulled Murdoch off the air. Rupert Murdoch (Sky News Australia) had been continuously airing the mass murder of 49 Muslms. World’s 34th richest guy decided to do that. Eff.

Disgusting.
Morning everyone:) Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Hello to Cousin Henry if you still peek in here from time to time….
I have not the slightest idea what the Installed One said on his Twitter this morning, but if Bill Krystal seems like he has the sense in the room….
I see now why the dickless wonder is in a snit. Why doesn’t he get this upset about things that REALLY matter!!??? ( that was rhetorical)
I’m there with him

Lovely pictures of Michelle Obama. I watch were they talk to people who was at the book tour event in Cleveland and all the people they talk to love it.
Pictures to heal a troubled heart. Thank you jer
What is “8chan”? Prior to the massacre, Tarrant posted on 8chan: “It’s “time to stop shitposting and time to make a real life effort”.
“The New Zealand massacre was livestreamed on Facebook, announced on 8chan, reposted on YouTube, commentated about on Reddit, and mirrored around the world before the tech companies could even react.”
https://nationalpost.com/news/world/what-is-8chan-and-why-did-the-new-zealand-shooter-use-it-to-announce-himself-to-the-world
8chan is today a haven for Neo-nazis, “light on moderation”, and “the new digital home for some of the most offensive people on the internet, people who really believe in white supremacy and the inferiority of women.”
“Nice shootin Tex” wrote one poster.
Joan Donovan, Director of the Technology and Social Change Research Project at Harvard Kennedy’s Shorenstein Center tweeted:
“Violence is being used to cause attention to these ideas. Don’t share or decode the manifesto.”
Calling on ANONYMOUS.

Thought some of you might enjoy an article on Medium from a friend of mine
View at Medium.com
(Nice one Jason Easely for calling him “President I meant to do that”.)
Translucent nasty manipulating control freak would-be autocrat Trump yesterday, following the 420-0 vote to release the Mueller report:
“I told leadership to let all Republicans vote for transparency. Makes us all look good and doesn’t matter. Play along with the game!”
–But we still remember him tweeting Mueller should “never have been appointed”.
-Little dronald: No we’re not going to un-believe your blatant repeated obstruction of justice. (And epic fail on the vote.)
Less than a few minutes after Guaidó unconstitutionally (hello Dicktraitor) declared himself president in February:
Trump put out “an official public statement recognizing Guaidó as the legitimate president of Venezuela. So it is clear that this has all along been a highly coordinated script written in strict collaboration with the US government.” Not just a tweet. So it was all pre-meditated.
-Guaido has threatened U.S. military intervention.
U.S. don’t let them do it.
In his great mercy VP Pence announced a 2nd round of U.S. sanctions on Venezuela 3 weeks ago.
There’s a severe child malnutrition and medical crises there that won’t be fixed by a little bit of pretend “humanitarian” help. Last year inflation went up 1 million percent. Largest Oil resource in the world but hey it’s not about the oil. Venezuelans need real food + medicine. And btw they get to decide about their own government, not Trump or Putin. Edgardo Lander: “We know from history that desperation is a breeding ground for fascism. People who are really desperate are willing to accept any alternative to the present state of things.”
= Easy to see how power and oil crazy Trump/Putin might use this situation for a military foray. Stop the little russian president.

Has anyone tried Imperfect Produce?
Did you like it?
Was the cost reasonable?
Was the produce fresh?
So the racist orange Russian idiot in the White House goes to church this morning and my question is why? That idiot spent the morning attacking a dead man John McCain on tweeter. He is a dam disgrace.
I never watch MTP, but do occasionally watch MTP daily – that’s over.
Pres Obama talks about Chuck Todd’s book
🤣😎
I love him – and I sure don’t mean Chuck Todd!
I am definitely with you Jacqueline. I stopped watching when David Gregory took over. I am curious as to what he did today to make you say this. 🙂
Couldn’t bring myself to read the article in the tweet, COS (I can just imagine – Grrrr), but the topic was:
***
Chuck Todd Suggest America’s Toxic Politics Is Obama’s Fault: He Didn’t ‘Bring This Country Together’
***
Ugh!
Wow. They really are THAT vile
Smile. Thread
Freaking hilarious:) I am outside laughing so hard someone prolly thinks I need an intervention:)

I needed that laugh!
Good! So did I:)
😆😆😆😆😆🙂
i post this here because i am frightened..please read the thread
Send this to the MSM. They seem to not fucking have a clue… this must be Obama’s fault too. They ALL can go to hell!
PLease Read..
King’s recent question, posed in a New York Times interview, may be appalling: “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization—how did that language become offensive?” But it is apt. “That language” has an American past in need of excavation. Without such an effort, we may fail to appreciate the tenacity of the dogma it expresses, and the difficulty of eradicating it. The president’s rhetoric about “shithole countries” and “invasion” by immigrants invites dismissal as crude talk, but behind it lie ideas whose power should not be underestimated.

Hi everyone
The horror done to our closest friends – by one of our people – is so beyond imaginable. The only positive on such a dark day was when I listened to the pm say “Our Gun Laws will change”. It wasn’t too soon, it isn’t a debate.
As for the RW horror politicians in Australia – and there is not just one – it is good to see them outed for who they are.
It was so nice to read the posts on TOD at a time when we were desolate. The shooter came from a town that I knew well in my youth. It was the US heartland – a place that existed to serve the farms, the trades and the small businesses in the area. 10 hours by train from Sydney. 99% white. Families brought up under the “White Australia Policy”. Is it any wonder what the next generations learned.
Hello 99ts. Good to see you although regret that it’s in very difficult and horrific times. We must hold the faith that we will see some kind of breakthrough in the not too distant future.
Always good to swing by TOD meta – reminds me of what was lost – I think of what my TOD friends must be facing – every day – from this ghastly administration. It will pass – I keep reminding myself.
Hugs to you. We are worn out by the madness but will fight with all our might to elect a decent president. Hopefully a very smart WOMAN.
99, good to see you! My condolences to you and your NZ neighbors. US friends of mine were in Christchurch on Friday, not far from the Mosque. I’ll be headed you way next week. Hope all is well with you and yours.
Ummm…
I wouldn’t post this “in public” because I’m not gonna appear to be mocking our candidates, but this older-style “dancing traffic cop” sorta kinda reminds me of Beto O’Rourke at a rally. 🙂
Or (not to get global) maybe one of these (sorry – I’m just goofing around!):
Great scene from ‘Flash Dance’ 😀 😀 😀
Ha! Gotta do something to keep smiling! 🙂
Flash Dance! One of my all time favorite movies!
Mine, too!
Damn cookie is smarter than these traitors
Hawaii, do better.
🙏🏾😔
Daniel Dale is a saint. I won’t bring it all over here but check his Twitter…. the poseur is very busy lying his ample ass off
On a more positive note:) I met and had brunch with Tnmtngirl and her husband today! What a wonderful time we had!! They were as nice as could be and we had such fun getting to know each other. So glad they took time from their vacation to come meet me. Love and hugs to both of them. I love when our TOD family gets together in person:)
😍🙂❤️😍. Indeed it was simply fantastic and such fun. I hope and pray Chipsticks knows what she created. The support,encouragement, kindness, love, understanding and hope we get from each other in this online community is something I will forever treasure and I know all of you feel the same. Thanks, Chips☘️ ❤️☘️ and thanks Nerdy Wonka for keeping our doors open. 💙💛🧡💚💙❤️.
df, You’re. It on Twitter soooooo how do you post all these tweets?!?!?
I LOOK on Twitter and follow many people… I, however, do not have an account or post my own Tweets:) Fabulous day today, Tnmtngirl… thanks so much once again. Now we’re sisters so we’ll just keep on:) Girl… send me those Pictures!! 😃
So glad you guys met! Now, post a couple of pictures for the TOD family!
In other words, tick tock, Donnie
I took a turn at it, Bob.
This is what happens when we fail to educate the people
Jeebus. Have to agree with Rick Wilson.
Thank you for the video link, Shella!
I would not be the slightest bit sad if Chuck found another job. He is not deserving and is in over his head. He is ignorant of basic facts and doesn’t seem to possess critical thinking skills .
👍👏👏👍. Slightest bit sad? I would be thrilled!
Oh.
Thought you might like to see this df ….

Oh I remember that song our Forever FLOTUS44 is jamming too.
Thanks jer44
Thanks jer44. If it wasn’t for my knees I would get up and jam alittle..
😊
Goodnight TOD …
Had to return to post …. truth ….
What a beautiful moment…I’m glad that he shared it with us
Yes! I know the feeling; we have five living generations. My Mom, age 86, is the family matriarch and the last of her generation. Her oldest nephew is 83.
