…really, really cool idea. Brava to our fab FLOTUS!
The appeal that Mrs. Obama has comes from the fact that she shows the world that Black Woman are more than two dimensional. For a lot of people this will probably be their first time reading about the hopes and fears and dreams of a Black Woman. I am not at all surprised by the enormous appeal of Michelle’s book.
Meghan Markle’s journey has obviously not been pleasant …
This is devastating to watch. The relentless media scrutiny Meghan Markle is placed under simply for existing as a woman with Black heritage. https://t.co/aMDS1syR3W
Duchess Meghan is authentic, caring, and imo an important asset to her new country. I think the far right wing message has migrated to the U.K. and not by mistake. Britain has welcomed and merged colors happily for a very long time now. A lot of beautiful people and Archie will be one of them.
hi HD it is about the “they”. British people in general are not racist and have long enjoyed diversity (as in Canada). The question is is who is pushing this divisive agenda for political reasons.
Rachel Maddow’s telling tweet yesterday:
(1) turkey wants to push the kurds out of that part of syria.
(2) trump gives ‘em the OK to invade.
(3) pence brokers a “deal” in which the kurds… must get out of that part of syria.
(4) the US agrees to un-sanction turkey.
that’s a “deal” like being mugged is a deal.
Brett McGurk on O’Donnell responds: “I think she has it about right.
In a chain reaction crisis, a Cascading crisis like we’ve been able to try to buy time, but in exchange for buying time to completely capitulate in a 13-point statement which was basically written by the Turks: What is shows to me is the extreme duress under which the America side is negotiating, we’re evacuating our facilties, we’re bombing them as we leave, and president Trump gave away all of our leverage. He did that last December when he anounced he wanted to leave Syriaand that we were leaving Syria, so Putin knows we’re leaving, Erdogan knows we’re leaving, Assad knows we’re leaving, the Iranians know we’re leaving. And he compounded that by what he did on the night of October 6th after the call with Erdogan and now we are evacuating our positions. So we’ve no leverage, we have very little influence, we’re bystanders, and the final deal will be cut in five days when Erdogan visits Putin in Moscow untortunately.”
(Breet McGurk: Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, under PBO and Trump.)
Facebook has a staggering and unstoppable fake account problem that foreign governments and big money interests have used to rip out the heart of democracies.
They intentionally conflate this problem with speech because stopping this behavior would ruin their business.
Trump at his rally last night:
“Sometimes you have to let them fight like two kids in a lot. You have to let them fight, and then you pull them apart.”
Brett McGurk responds:
You know Lawrence this is difficult for me, because this is just obscene,
and I served for 2 years in the trump administration. I know the diplomats are trying to work through this crisis that was precipitated by an impulsive decision by president trump. That is a totally obscene thing to say.
Over the last 10 days after the president’s phone call with Erdogan, we’ve had about 200,000 civilians displaced from their homes, we’ve had hundreds of people killed, we’ve had innocent women pulled out of their car and murdered in cold blood by Turkish backed opposition forces. So for the president of the United States to say that – you know everybody’s listening…I’ve been to Syria so many times and particularly in these war zone environments, everybody listens to the words of the president of the United States and for him to say that is truly obscene. And we’re not just letting them fight. We are evacuating Syria and blowing up our bases as we leave and handing over facilities to the Russians. So for the president to suggest that this is kind of no big deal, and this is all going according to plan is a joke, and I think Senator Romney has it right and I fear that this is going to get worse. I think it’s good that we bought some time, but Erdogan is on his way to Moscow, and we are now bystanders as we work to get out of Syria. So I think it’s a pretty serious situation and it’s not likely to get better.”
Oh please, if Mittens was in this administration he would have dummed-up too. Now he wants to walk around like he has brass balls and he would have somehow stopped Trump from shaking down Ukraine. Thurston Howell III is delusional.
You are correct, corruption is the GOP’s default position. Turkey gained the upper hand because money, and not a political solution was Trump’s focus. Now our Middle East doctrine is all about money, and not peace.

of Germany,
France,
the United Kingdom,
the European Parliament,
and the
House of Representatives of the United States of America,
jointly condemn in strongest terms the Turkish military offensive in north eastern Syria. …
We consider the abandonment of Syrian Kurds to be wrong. The Syrian Democratic Forces, our partner in the Global Coalition, contributed to the successful yet unfinished fight against Da’esh in Syria and incurred heavy losses by doing so. We deeply regret the decision of the President of the United States to withdraw American troops from north eastern Syria, which marks another landmark in the change of American foreign policy in the Near and Middle East.”

The government awarding the G7 contract to Trump is not more of the same corruption. It's not even the same but grander. It is different in nature. Trump is reaching into the Treasury and taking your money for himself.
Why Tulsi is Terrible Part 3: – She released a video alleging the Mueller Report said Trump did not collude with Russia and it's time to move on. – She is allegedly anti-war (she isn't) but is fine w/ Russians bombing Syrian civilians – She is promoted by pro-Russian outlets 3/

Exactly! Is she taking foreign dirty Russian $$ to stay in this thing?
If you're waking up on Saturday morning to see #IamTulsi trending, it's because the Russian bots were busy last night trying to push Jill Stein 2.0 on us.
We DON'T need a repeat of 2016.
If she TRULY cares about America, Tulsi Gabbard should drop out.#TaintedTulsi
Let’s talk about succession. Not the best show on TV, which just ended its stellar second season; the presidential succession. Who will succeed Trump? Because, like Logan Roy, he must face the music.
If you haven't noticed yet, the current Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian weapon. Regardless of any past act, until after election day 2020 Gabbard is a bullet aimed at democracy analogous to Jill Stein in 2016.
Today British Parliament will assemble for the 1st time on a Saturday since the war-by-sea Falklands war was manufactured by Thatcher.

Still digesting our lovely trip for my Brother’s memorial. (Still can’t figure out how to post photos @ TOD, tried 😔) We had an amazing time, the most beautiful sunsets, warmth of Fam, & laughter, yet poingnant. It was the most stunningly gorgeous place to celebrate his life. Every morning I rolled over, opened my eyes & the view simply made me hop out of bed, grab a cuppa coffee, sit on terrace, & cheer “good morning”, then hit the gorgeous pool. One of our fun excursions was a 3-hr catamaran whale watch ride, on our return the fun crew played Bob (Everything’s Gonna be Alright), & we sang right along w/ Bob, crew & rest of guests on Catamaran! On last day we dragged ourselves out out of the villa, while plotting ways to just stay … forever! 😂😇💞
DF, his presence was felt by all of us! Pretty sure he photo bombed some photos! Like, nah, am here to make sure you’re all cheering! 😂 My son, who lives in CA, met me in Madrid airport & we then flew together to Canaries, where all Fam converged from all points of diaspora. Most amazing thing was that none of our connecting flights were delayed, no lost luggage! On return, my son & I had a long layover in Madrid, stayed at a funky delightful movie themed hotel overnight. We cracked up laughing at our room — Incredible Hulk! Wot?! 😂 Got a chance to wander around Madrid that night. We were not going to have dinner @ any MickeyD-like establishment, no Ma’am! We finally fell upon a fab cute restaurant & were treated to the best dinner & service ever! We have never experienced duck made that way nor anything else! Travel tip: because of our limited layover (18 hrs), I booked a car service to take us from the airport & back the next morning. Done thru booking.com. That service was superb & surprisingly cheaper than taxi. Yup, Jill Scott’s song “Golden” just kept weaving thru my mind the entire trip.💃😂
I am so glad your trip for the memorial went so well. Your brother’s spirit sounds a lot like my dear son’s – which gets me and his kids and grandkids moving every single day, because we feel he’s guiding us along the way with his own cheerful ways! That made me smile! Your family sounds wonderful, too.
Oh Gazelle, what a wonderful honor for your brother. His memory will always leave a smile with you. And for all your family and friends. What a way to hold him close to your heart.

She totally discounted the rumors about Tulsi, whether from Hillary or anyone else. After all, “She’s running for President……..blah, blah.” We must be smarter this time!!!
Well, Nina isn’t all that different from Tulip Gazpacho
Wonderful story. It goes back to when we had a First Family worth protecting. Even risking an awesome dog like this. Definitely don’t have either now (especially the latter).
Saw that earlier. Amazing.

Still digesting our lovely trip for my Brother’s memorial. (Still can’t figure out how to post photos @ TOD, tried 😔) We had an amazing time, the most beautiful sunsets, warmth of Fam, & laughter, yet poingnant. It was the most stunningly gorgeous place to celebrate his life. Every morning I rolled over, opened my eyes & the view simply made me hop out of bed, grab a cuppa coffee, sit on terrace, & cheer “good morning”, then hit the gorgeous pool. One of our fun excursions was a 3-hr catamaran whale watch ride, on our return the fun crew played Bob (Everything’s Gonna be Alright), & we sang right along w/ Bob, crew & rest of guests on Catamaran! On last day we dragged ourselves out out of the villa, while plotting ways to just stay … forever! 😂😇💞
Sounds amazing:) Brt he would love the way you all celebrated his life. I hope the thought of him brings a smile to your face. He’s still with you
DF, his presence was felt by all of us! Pretty sure he photo bombed some photos! Like, nah, am here to make sure you’re all cheering! 😂 My son, who lives in CA, met me in Madrid airport & we then flew together to Canaries, where all Fam converged from all points of diaspora. Most amazing thing was that none of our connecting flights were delayed, no lost luggage! On return, my son & I had a long layover in Madrid, stayed at a funky delightful movie themed hotel overnight. We cracked up laughing at our room — Incredible Hulk! Wot?! 😂 Got a chance to wander around Madrid that night. We were not going to have dinner @ any MickeyD-like establishment, no Ma’am! We finally fell upon a fab cute restaurant & were treated to the best dinner & service ever! We have never experienced duck made that way nor anything else! Travel tip: because of our limited layover (18 hrs), I booked a car service to take us from the airport & back the next morning. Done thru booking.com. That service was superb & surprisingly cheaper than taxi. Yup, Jill Scott’s song “Golden” just kept weaving thru my mind the entire trip.💃😂
Yeah!
I am so glad your trip for the memorial went so well. Your brother’s spirit sounds a lot like my dear son’s – which gets me and his kids and grandkids moving every single day, because we feel he’s guiding us along the way with his own cheerful ways! That made me smile! Your family sounds wonderful, too.
Oh Gazelle, what a wonderful honor for your brother. His memory will always leave a smile with you. And for all your family and friends. What a way to hold him close to your heart.
They must ALL be held accountable
Watching RBG on CNN. She is my hero
Excellent movie. Catch it if you can
Watched it, too. Think I saw it before, but worth watching again.
Whatev, criminal
It was probably just a diversion from something else we’re going to find out tomorrow that he’s done.
Criminal!
Yup! Am back to swearing! 😂
Love ya! Hang in there.
Jordan’s the perfect place for them to visit.
Maybe Nancy will ask King Abdullah II of Jordan to adopt us. (Love him, loved his father, love their wives.) He’s taken on so much in his region toward a peaceful outcome, including a huge influx of refugees.
Good morning Todville. Thank you NW for providing us with this wonderful space.
Wishing everyone a very lovely day.
Good Cool Sunny Sunday Morning from MN, a State with over 10K lakes.

My bucket list (only if possible). Road trip through the US in a motor home. Someday … gotta keep buying the lottery ticket 🤣.
