The Obama Diary 
Good morning, TOD! Blessed to see another day!
Nerdy, as always, THANK YOU! I 💜💜💜💜 YOU!
Congrats on being first Jazz.
Thank you NW … for all that you do. Much appreciated.
NOW: Candidates speak at education forum in Pittsburgh – https://abcnews.go.com/Live/video/speciaL-live-1
I mean, well you know, I guess, right.
OK…who is the first guy? Everyone else I recognize.
Senator Michael Bennet, Colorado
Thank you!
Owned it. She’s amazing!
Well thank you, Eddie, I’m sure Speaker Pelosi’s number one concern was proving her leadership skills to you, Eddie. And I’m sure that the entire Democratic Leadership will sleep well tonight knowing that you are satisfied with Speaker Pelosi, Eddie.
❤❤❤
something about hisself so intent there with the little scraper gets me in fits.
Correct… and someone needs to prove this and share ASAP with the people.
As it should be
I’m so glad he was re-elected!
In other words. he has no intention of honoring the oath he will take, or HAS taken!
Good evening, TOD! Not sure if this has been posted yet … 🙂
🤣

Love Ted Lieu. He’s great.
Totally agree!
Pacifist Greta Thunberg in Madrid:
Of course was not advocating violence when she translated the Swedish phrase “att ställa någon mot väggen’
(to ‘put someone against the wall’ – meaning – to hold someone accountable) as “putting leaders against the wall”.
“That’s what happens when you improvise speeches in a second language…
But of course I apologize if anyone misunderstood this. I can not enough express the fact that I — as well as the entire school strike movement — are against any possible form of violence. It goes without saying but I say it anyway.” (per CBS).
–maybe the fake outraged could try writing and delivering speeches in a 2nd language.
–Brava Greta!!
Naval Academy also needs to investigate…
These disgusting bigots are everywhere. In the White House, on Capital Hill, everywhere.
Trump is a white power symbol as is Stephen Miller who is still in the White House.
Yes! There was at least one Navy cadet making absolutely sure the camera caught him doing it. 😥🤬😥😥. Such a stain on our military. Everything tRump touches dies…….
Morning everyone. Who the Republicans have aligned themselves with now.
Important and urgent thread to share. These cowards need immediate PRESSURE!!
I don’t know why the fool is running as a Democrat.
I don’t know why ppl are oblivious to this guy splitting the Democratic party into two.
The way i see it … Bernie and his supporters are there to ensure Republican wins. If you hate the Dems that bad then get out. Let’s see how a 3rd party run will work out for you. Cuz you know the Repugs will give you free college and free healthcare for all ….i am being sarcastic of course.
Sowing hatred for the Democratic party is not going to win you the election, Berniebros.
Instead of working toward a more perfect union, these jackasses are trying to pull the fabric apart.
Are they hoping for the demise of the Democratic party?
I think sometimes ppl deserve what they get. If they can’t get their heads wrapped around the fact that the Democratic party are their best option …then they are only digging their own graves.
End of rant.
Still not sure why the Dems let him back in for the 2020 election after his 2016 anti-dem rants.
Shows that he thinks in terms of “quid pro quo” on everything
I can’t ever get the link to anything on DU quite right…

A positive interview to just lighten up those negative Sunday talking heads:
Sometimes it is hard to keep a positive outlook about 2020 results. This place is my best place to come for help with that. Even though I know about trolling it really does change a person’s outlook upon receiving so many negative messages. I think the Moody’s prediction that Trump will win in a landslide that I saw yesterday on FB got to me. In thinking it over I think I saw that same prediction months ago so it may have been a repeat message leaving out the original date and inserting yesterday’s date. The other negative was hearing on NPR this morning several interviewed people from different parts of the Country with backgrounds mostly indicating a friendliness towards Dems choosing Trump this time around due to the economy. It makes me wonder if the reporting is skewed or if people only judge their immediate situation with no concern about the big picture or what is right and fair?
Often write on here…am disappointed and outraged by NPR.
It seems no matter how critical the facts are, NPR manages to play the both- siderism game. It shocks me every time…the litany of interviews with Trumpers…far, far outnumber those with Democrats even when the damning evidence is utterly overwhelming and definitive news is out. It’s not as if GOP wouldn’t de-fund NPR in a heartbeat given the chance, so….what or who is driving NPR’s response?
–Why the “give Hitler his say” approach, when Trump’s crimes against America are so deep and wide?
The midterms showed that Trump isn’t popular. Plus we’ve had several Governor races and special elections that show that Trump isn’t popular. I don’t see him winning again.
Correct
I heard about some Democrat who plan to switch to Republican Party, what a piece of crap he is.
Thread with references…

Goodnight TOD
I agree with all except Brown; we need him in Senate if we are to regain majority.
Morning everyone
Nice
I’m here with this. Keep investigating while not passing this to the Senate.
I believe that Prof. Tribe is consulting with the Dems, so I’m sure this is being given consideration
In theory the “Sword of Damocles” should be able to persuade any normal person with a sense of morality, but we’re talking about Trump & McConnell here. They aren’t guided by a sense of duty, honor, or commitment to the values of this nation.

McConnell and crew just took this oath:
“I solemnly swear (or affirm) that in all things appertaining to the trial of the impeachment of President Donald John Trump, now pending,
I will do
IMPARTIAL JUSTICE
according to the Constitution and laws:
So help me God.”
“What if the president is cleared by the Senate and immediately commits an even worse crime?
Republicans are making it clear they will happily obliterate the notion of objective truth as well as established law and two centuries of democratic traditions in order to win at all costs.” (Will Bunch)

“…Americans who want to save democracy need to be out in the streets to show Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump and all the others that we will be not be passive, disinterested observers while they blow up the American experiment….But for that message to break through, we’re going to need to get very loud.”

John Dean:
“Let’s impeach him now and NOT send it to the Senate rather keep investigating in the House, and add such supplemental articles as needed…Just let it hang over his head. If the worst happens and he is re-elected, send it to the Senate. But keep investigating!!”
— Yes. McConnell has already publicly stated that he is not impartial and that the trial vote will be rigged which delegitimizes the trial.
So don’t look now:
This morning Senator Schumer (per NPR) is saying he might be able to call Mulvaney and Bolton as witnesses. Didn’t MoscowMitch already say “No witnesses”?
—However, my hope is that if Speaker Pelosi’s House caucus comes out FOR continuing to investigate, and not send the articles to the Senate where McConnell has already vowed to rig the trial, that she
will be persuaded.
Irina Sherbakova: “Russian society succumbed to weariness and indifference.
Stalinist crimes, once thought better out in the open, had turned out to be so horrific that people didn’t want to spend time thinking about them. By the mid-1990s, nostalgia for the Soviet period started to creep in….
Television propaganda again worked hard to create that image. The millions who perished in waves of political repression were pushed to the margins of collective consciousness.”
‘…Russia has, in fact, no concept whatsoever of the future.
It’s not that Russians have forgotten about the direct link between Stalin’s name and the political repression that affected almost every family.
Rather, they don’t want to reflect on the terror, on who perpetrated it or what the rationale behind it was.
They aren’t ready to acknowledge that this was the central pillar of the entire system.
…Every day our freedom seems to shrink as quickly as it expanded 30 years ago.”
“Vladimir Putin’s Russia is rehabilitating Stalin.
We must not let it happen”

–Trumpers need to know the Truth about Putin’s Russia.
