The Obama Diary 
Hey, Pkayden! Thanks for unlocking the door.
Now, sing along with me (to the tune of I You’re Happy and You Know It)
😂
LOL!
Why are the dems pushing the 25th which is not gonna happen with this corrupt complicit cowardly bunch. Impeach the seditious thug again when the anger is raw and fresh. Frankly, Nancy should have tried to impeach immediately after 2018 dem blue wave mandate and there was a good chance the traitor’s impeachment would have passed in senate at that time. She waited too long and it fizzled out and the dems paid the price in 2020 in congress with loss of seats and senate which they could have flipped without GA in Nov. Take a stand now.
corrupt coward cruz too.
LOL. look at all the ‘down votes’ for somewhat saner posts there.
Right wing terrorism is in our faces = Right wing fascism = trump’s America.
Let’s not buy their disinformation, or let them point fingers, or drive wedges between us.
—Senator Sanders stands for the exact opposite.
–Nothing to do with him.
He certainly does not….he is not a Democrat, and he means us no real good. Come at me!
Hi edp4ho,
Look at his policies, fixing climate action, real Covid response with $2K payouts, free college education, women’s reproductive health issues, unions (also big with Joe), fair taxation, on and on. He has been working very closely with Joe and Kamala for months! Eh the faux war with Senator Sanders is long past.
I am with them.
Agreed!!
So am I. In the last hour, I have sent two tweets to Pelosi, Nadler and Schiff. Impeach no later than tomorrow morning! Enough of playing nice and delaying. There is ZERO time to delay this.
Just so y’all know, I do not know #ElizabethfromKnoxville. Nope, I do not know her. Every one of the R
delegation voted to object to both AZ and PA. No surprise. Also, one of our TN state reps (a woman) was there yesterday. Not part of the group who stormed the capitol, but there.
I have no issue with them currying support for Impeachemnt…but they pretend that if it wasn’t for them IMPEACHMENT would not be on the table..This is another “Hey look at me”..
All this literally last minute ‘courage’ is all bs.

Good to see ol’ Keith around!

“US Air Force veteran who lost her life in riots”
She was a fucking rioting SEDITIONIST THUG.
Just like Timothy McVeigh, an Army veteran, this US Air Force veteran was a terrorist, she knew what she was doing. I can not feel sorry for terrorists.
This author’s on Rachel tonight.

He’s a history professor from Yale.
Historian specializing in the history of Central and Eastern Europe, and the Holocaust. Reportedly speaks and writes French, German, Polish, and Ukrainian, and reads Czech, Slovak, Russian, Belarusian…
Eh, um, just don’t like to miss any interviews and have some of his books!
Wow! He’s a rock star, for sure. Thanks for the info.
If the thug, who has gotten away with every type of crime and abuse in his entire life, is not held accountable even for open sedition and inciting insurrection, what is the point of ‘checks and balances’? Why are the dems still being wimpy?
attacked by their own kind. who cudda thunk.
moscow mitch should resign first. It happened under his watch and literally right under his fugly nose.
Then make it happen chuck. Words are cheap.
Yup, all of the above.
awww, poor liddle things. microviolins.
Will believe when everyone of these thugs including the totus thug and seeds is arrested.
I deleted the reply as the tweet replied to was inaccurate.
Liddle Lindsey posted a thread
Never forget that lindsey the traitorous thug too committed election fraud in GA recount.
For which he is probably expecting to receive a pardon. It’s to his benefit that tRump remain in office…at least long enough to issue a pardon to him.
Good point. That’s why the corrupt coward is still kissing that fugly ass.
Egg-zack-ly
Ah trump will say any old thing.
Senator Patrick Maloney was saying to O’Donnell,
box trump in now, replace him on the 20th,
after that hold him and his enablers accountable.
AG Garland will follow the facts and the law.
–sounds like a guid plan.
Even if not removed, impeachment will force GOP on the record; will also let career civil servants know that at least the House has their back.
White peeps fuck up, other peeps clean up. Same old story for centuries.
Corollary: Other peeps achieve, White peeps take credit.
Check the comments, #TwitterBI is 🔥 on the case…

The rioters for all their chest thumping are cowardly to blame others for their crimes.
cnn is covering the contrast between the police (mis)handling the white terrorists thugs insurrection and the BLM protestors. Good for them.
And fuck chris cuomo, who wants to find ‘common ground’ with the trumpturds.
Exactly. Arrest and charges the seditionist thug for election fraud.
Now do the treasonous traitor, jack.
The Los Angeles Lakers hope to become the first NBA champions to visit the White House since 2016 when president elect Joe Biden takes office.
No team has visited the White House under the presidency of Donald Trump.
President Trump rescinded invitations to NBA championship winning teams in recent years after several players stated they did not wish to visit.
But US media claim the Lakers would be keen to visit Biden after he is sworn into office on 20 January.
The Cleveland Cavaliers were the last team to meet a sitting president when they visited Barack Obama after their 2016 win but the Golden State Warriors (2017 and 2018) and the Toronto Raptors (2019) did not go to see Trump.
The Lakers will potentially make their visit when they play at the home of the Washington Wizards, as long as Covid-19 restrictions or Biden’s own engagements do not get in the way.

Heads Up on Whatsapp.
This is wrong
12 DAYS UNTIL BIDEN/HARRIS
…hopefully fewer before the Orange Oval Office Occupant is evicted. House, you can’t wait until Monday to start impeachment proceedings.
Miss Lindsey, PLEASE!!! 🙄🙄🙄
I will give credit to cnn for covering the thug admin’s covid disaster almost everyday with a running score of covid casualties on the top right. Their anchors also cover it almost hourly.
We all watched Ted Cruz go from rabidly anti-Trump during the 2016 election, to rabidly pro-Trump when he was trying to get reelected to the Senate in 2018. Cruz has remained firmly and embarrassingly on the Trump bandwagon ever since, and Cruz has recently taken it to seditious lows.
Ted Cruz was one of the people who incited yesterday’s deadly domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol Building. But now that Biden has been certified as the winner, and Trump has since admitted that Biden will be taking office, Cruz is suddenly trying to pretend he’s always been anti-Trump.
Ted Cruz said this to ABC, as documented by CNN: “The president’s language and rhetoric often goes too far. I think, yesterday in particular, the president’s language and rhetoric crossed the line and it was reckless … I disagree with it, and I have disagreed with the president’s language and rhetoric for the last four years.”
Yeah right. Ted Cruz is attempting to do yet another one of his infamous flip flops – and this one is off the rails. He shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it.
More importantly, the rabid trumpturds, who this immoral thugs sought to court cynically for whatver little chance of ‘becoming a president’, will now turn on him in a dime.
Turn on him before he turns on them. That’s tRump’s MO…Loyalty to him includes being willing to “take the fall”/”be a scapegoat” for him because he *will* throw someone under the bus if it suits his purpose; loyalty be damned. Ask Michael Cohen.
In basketball, nothing is more important than the championship series.
But seven months ago, Renee Montgomery realised some things are bigger than basketball. In fact, there are things for which she would even give up her championship medals.
Montgomery is part of a social justice movement gaining momentum in the United States’ WNBA and, a month after George Floyd died while in police custody, added her name to the list of players pausing their careers in the pursuit of other causes.
The 34-year-old two-time WNBA champion’s most recent win goes right to the top of American politics. She is partially responsible for Raphael Warnock’s successful and decisive Senate campaign in Georgia. Warnock, a Baptist pastor, becomes the first black senator for Georgia – a slavery state in the US Civil War – and only the 11th black member of the Senate in US history.
Republican incumbent senator Kelly Loeffler, whose defeat by Democrat Warnock was confirmed on Thursday, is co-owner of Montgomery’s former side Atlanta Dream.
When Loeffler called for the league to reject “divisive political movements” like Black Lives Matter, some players decided to take action.
They wanted her removed as team owner, then they wanted her removed from the Senate.
Players wore “Vote Warnock” jerseys at games and, according to his campaign, raised more than $200,000 (£150,000) in just three days for the candidate, while polls indicated a rising support for the politician.
Warnock’s defeat of Loeffler, alongside fellow Democrat Jon Ossoff’s win, gave president-elect Joe Biden’s party control of the Senate.
With such far-reaching consequences, it is no wonder Montgomery sees her work as more important than Championship medals. If she had to choose between her sporting success and helping to achieve political change, which would it be?
“What’s happening now is so much bigger than sports that it’s hard to even compare because what’s happening right now will be in history books,” she told BBC Sport.

I guess in their minds, one does not cancel out the other. Plus, for many of them, lying is second nature For the length they gone with the lies, it’s not surprising that they just stubbornly dug in their heels to save face with the tRumpers.
Forgot the link…
Yup, that’s why Nancy should start the impeachment now, not wait ‘until mid next week’ only if the coward mike dense doesn’t do 25th. She waited too long last time and hence it fizzled out. Clyburn is on cnn saying dems are eager to do the impeachment.
The traitorous thug’s regime ends with 140k job loss in Dec and 9 million jobs loss since pandemic the corrupt thug mismanaged from day one.
No more moscow mitch, the hitch. Bring it on.
The whole dept has to be revamped from top to bottom.
cnn reporting some senate rethugs are open to 2nd impeachment if Nancy brings up the charges.
Morning everyone. The wife of SC Justice Thomas everyone.
Is it that they don’t see it, or they just don’t want to directly say it… at least not out loud. They’ve been talking around it with their comparisons to the BLM protests.
why?
why not indeed?
How does this help if the aim is to REMOVE tRump NOW???
That’s all good too. (I suppose that extends to access to intelligence breifings.)
I guess I just worry what he will do in the next 12 days.
Me too. I want the thug gone like yesterday.
Yup, one big plus point of impeachment route is apparently the impeached thug cannot run for office ever again.
AMEN!!
Bravo, bravo.
Kudos to dems ‘finding’ novel ways to screw themselves. Heh, let’s prop up another corrupt coward to the presidency remove the current corrupt thug. Let’s do what the rethugs want.
Apparently the traitorous thug is back to his old ways of inciting his thugs base on twitter. Will jack ban him now?
criming is in their blood and criming is what they do.
Apparently, it’s a rw rag.
New post.
