In 2011, I visited the tiny town of Moneygall and got to walk around in the house where my great-great-great grandfather Falmouth Kearney lived his early life. I'll always be grateful for the warmth and generosity of the Irish people. Happy St. Patrick's Day! -Barack O’Bama pic.twitter.com/abDtarFbR5

The Obama Diary 
Sad news. He was also former Chairman of President Barack Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers.
Very sad news.
Thanks for sharing.
Good Morning TODVille!
Wow! Very sad news indeed! Thank you very much Prof. Krueger for your service to the nation & world. May comfort come to his family and friends during this very difficult time. May Prof. Krueger rest in peace
YIKES
Good morning everyone! I hope that your day is going very well. Today is one more day towards the beginning of a clean up of the political mess & a rebuilding of a better future
Well…….good morning TODers from Phoenix area. It’s 7:30 here. Good day to all, wherever you are.🙂😘🌼. We go to our last spring training game today—-Go Tribe!⚾️⚾️ We’ve seen them win two games. 😍. After that, it will be laundry and pack…….leaving tomorrow morning.
I’m really, really wishing the best for the Castro brothers.
Morning everyone. Sweet!!!
Very sweet!
This is not ok
I do believe he is correct. Profound words
The ‘best’ people
Lol
This is excellent news. I think if HRC switched party affiliation to GOP… just to irk the Repubs… that would be so sweet. Just imagine how many Deplorables will be losing it … LOL LOL
Wot? Am not sure how to take this. Donna on Fox, that is. What’s Up? Really. Fox Doods & iQ45 freakout is worth it today! 😏😎😂
My thoughts exactly. I think just having Democrats on there should send some of their viewers back into hiding under whichever rock they crawled out from.
I watch the View today and when they talk about the tweets from Trump talking about John McCain, all I could think about is Lindsey Graham who claim to have been such a friend of McCain. You would think that Lindsey Graham would have spoke up loud and clear against any one who would criticize a decent man like McCain, someone he claim was his friend.. I think the tweet Meghan McCain sent out was great. Trump knows he will never be loved or respect like McCain.
imo – Meghan McCain is a white KOCH Trojan horse.
No idea what the show is like now, but i remember when she’d suddenly Lie and disinform about PBO = whenever the topic shifted
to a guilty GOP story.
I’m no fan of Meghan, I just like the tweet she sent to Trump. Another thing that has me piss is were Chuck Todd on Meet the Press blame President Obama for not uniting the country.
Good.
Have a good Monday, TODville!
Love that reply Booms! Happy Monday to you as well, but I think it is already Tuesday for you. So happy Tuesday to you.
Thanks – and, yes, it does appear to be Tuesday! Enjoy yours, too!
Wonderful interview:
I listen to the interview and it was wonderful. Michelle Obama is the best.
YES! It was sweet, smart and funny.
Spring bloom on its way in Cali.
How beautiful. Think I’ll go take my “goddess nap” with that image in mind! See y’all later. 🙂
Brought tears to my eyes
Heartbreaking, for all who had to endure this senseless tragedy.
My heart breaks for his family and friends.
OMG, NO. He was so brilliant, supporting PBO through the recession. My heart breaks for his family.
Oh no! That’s incredibly sad. Peace to his family, & RIP.
Oh my! Beyond devastating. Always the “Why?” Bless and strengthen his family. 😥😥
So very, very sorry to hear that.
Made me smile
That’s the LOL of my Monday! 😂😂😎
LOL! Mother was noticeably absent…
Unfit
If any of us regular people made these types of threatening comments … don’t think we’d still be walking the streets. What’s it gonna take to do something about this, and I’d include trump in that question.
Ahmad’s expertise is counterterrorism, her subspecialty “extraterritorial” cases. She’s an Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of New York, Criminal Division and the Deputy Chief of the National Security & Cybercrime Section.
Closing out some of the wings, looks like …
Good Evening TODville Community
Thank You beloved TOD for being here, always.
X 2
and good evening, nena!
Yet another young soul on that fateful EA flight from Addis:

Love that so much!
yesss…it makes me weepy
When he was in the White House, we could all feel he was figuratively hugging us, too. Miss him so much.
Just FYI
If I am reading this right, these grades are unbelievable. Even after Mitch McConnel held Judge Gardener’s seat open, they oblige him with their votes. We love to shoot ourselves in the foot.
DITTO!
Uplifting and heartbreaking… a thread:
We are all packed except for last minute things. Leaving our apt. early to get to the airport through Phoenix traffic. 🚙🚘🚔🚚. It’s been a fabulous trip, highlighted by getting to meet and spend time with desert flower. 😍💕. Need to figure out a way to meet more TODers.
Will lurk tomorrow as I can.
Put August/September on your calendar; Camp TOD at my house! Chef Nancie is going to prepare a feast!
Count me in!!
Have zero tolerance for this person ….
I so very much agree with your reply to her, Bob. Plus, there’s hardly ANY depth to her – and what’s there, I don’t trust.
I side eyed 2 mins of her town hall w/ Hayes. 😏
Exactly, Jacqueline.
And, here’s a little something that hopefully will bring a smile to yours and everyone’s face ….
They are so ADORABLE!
But didn’t Kamala Harris sign onto this as well?
Right ON!
So Trump suppose to be holding a press conference today at 1:45 pm. I won’t be watching. I guess he may read a speech written for him to say that he is against white nationalists. Rev. Barber is speaking the truth, because those who look the other way, remain silent when wrong is being done is just as bad as the person doing the wrong.
The evangelicals who is supporting Trump refuse to stand up and speak out against hated like what happen in New Zealand.And the hate that is here in America.
Birds of a Feather flock together.
Morning everyone.
Huuummm
Hmmmmmm…
i wonder that these folks really feel about the criminality of Trump
Why are these secret…and what plans does the Trump Adminstration have for these children…cannot rule out…Child Trafficking
WTAF.
Imma just say 3 little words in regard to this bank fraud business with Individual 1…. Justice Kennedy’s son.
IS This a good thang
Makes me wonder if they ever really had principles at all
Makes me wonder if they ever really had principles at all
Why are my posts posting twice?
Because, dear df, what you have to say to us is so important that it deserves being said twice. Once to have us read it and go “What did I just read? Really?” and the second time we read it we go “OMG! WTF! You’ve got to be kidding me!” So I have no problem with your items posting twice. Have a good Tuesday. 🙂
😂… you are too kind:) I’m pretty sure that’s not it though:)
I must admit, though, that not a day goes by when I don’t say WTF!! about 100 times. I swear we’ll all have PTSD after this nightmare is over
For example…WTF!
The thread
LOL, cd4biden. You are so right!!!

Handy little interactive to look through.
Thanks for this map. It is a site to return to from time to time as they will keep posting new legislation, etc. And helpful to know about this site as we work to GOTV for 2020, and even before, as in which state’s legislatures are passing the most horrible bills. If we know that, then we know where to focus our energies to flip state legislative seats to Dems
Also, I found this on that same website. It is a page that looks like it will be devoted to criminal justice reform for each of the presidential candidates. Again, the page is new, so we will need to check back from time to time to see what has been posted there.

excellent thought:)
lil respite from the nastiness
While reading around and thinking about the Mac truck we’ve bumped into:
Erich Fromm believed the human mind has a need to submit to authoritarian figures in times of economic and social stress. When the pride of the country has been shattered, when parents and the older generation cannot financially support the future of their children. Such conditions can propel an authoritarian figure to the top. Chaos/uncertainty are key strategies. Fromm saw no logic in Nazi ideology: “Nazism never had any genuine political or economic principles. It is essential to understand that the very principle of Nazism is its radical opportunity.”
The Audience is “told again and again: the individual is nothing and does not count. The individual should accept the personal insignificance, dissolve himself in a higher power, and then feel proud in participating int he strength and glory of this higher power.”
Also “a feeling of superiority over the rest of mankind” that compensates for the feeling of loss and impoverishment.
WTF!
Hey, df, here is one of today’s WTF’s for you. Only 99 to go!! 😝
New post.

imo
Trump is concerned with how things look, his hand gestures, what he is wearing, the angle of the camera. Ideology and factual reality – no.
But he likes Mein Kamf (true), the friendship of dictators, and the way Putin steals from his country and protects his underworld mob when they
get caught. Putin’s russia is described as a “mafia state ruling over a totalitarian society”. Some would say a hybrid regime.
Balint Magyar: ”To understand what a mafia state is, we need to imagine a state run by, and resembling, organized crime.
At its center is a family, and at the center of the family is a patriarch. He doesn’t govern. He disposes — of positions, wealth, statuses, persons.
In Putin’s Russia..the patriarch and his family have only two goals: accumulating wealth and concentrating power….Where the state used to own the entire economy, now it seeks simply to control the most lucrative businesses and skim off the top of the rest—and eliminate those who refuse to pay…Mafia states murder people, just like the Mafia does—but they murder only the people who are immune to coercion and blackmail: journalists, for example…”
