It’s cute how y’all want to believe the guys who stormed the capitol live in their mom’s basement snorting Cheeto dust pissing in Mountain Dew bottles because you don’t want to believe it’s your retired colonel neighbor and your realtor and lawyer and your sister’s cop husband

The Obama Diary 
Good Afternoon TODVille.
Good afternoon, nclb. Congrats 🎉🍾🎈 on opening the door. Bb
Of the 135 arrested, how many are still in jail?
Right?
Get them all!!
NW – exactly.
When gop says Democrats don’t love America,
what they mean is Democrats don’t love the Confederacy.
PATRISSE CULLORS:
Black Lives Matter Movement Co-Founder speaks to Joy Reid.
“BLM Co-Founder Patrisse Cullors calls President Biden’s executive orders on racial equity ‘a nod’
but “there’s so much more to do and we will push this administration to do it.”
Hear here: (https://www.stitcher.com/show/the-reidout-with-joy-reid/episode/blm-movement-co-founder-on-bidens-executive-orders-its-a-nod-but-more-to-do-on-racial-equity-81136797)
Republicans themselves should be demanding her resignation. Absolutely disgusting.
“Remarks by President Biden at Signing of an Executive Order on Racial Equity”

Susan Rice, White House Domestic Policy Adviser:
“The President will sign an executive order directing the Department of Justice not to renew any contracts with private prison…
Private prisons profiteer off federal prisoners and are proven to be, or found to be by the Department of Justice inspector general, less safe for correctional officers and prisoners.
President Biden is committed to reducing mass incarceration, while making our communities safer and that starts with ending the federal government’s reliance on private prisons.”
(c/o Independent.co.uk)
“After Prison Beating, Biden Says U.S. Must End Private Prison Business”
“Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson speaks with Melber about the significance of this action.”
Hmmmm
Why though? This needs to be challenged and defeated. Congress also needs to strengthen the Voting Rights Act to overcome this foolishness.
Oh we want background checks for all gun sales.
—The number of phtocopies for each gun to equal the number of gun deaths and number of dollars spent nationwide on hospital bills on any given day.
Does retirement give them the spine they need to speak up? For the most part, it seems that it’s just the ones who have announced their retirement that dare to criticize the unethical and criminal actions of the party.
Republicans may face some new challenges winning back their Senate majority with another wave of retirements.
Pennsylvania and North Carolina are already up for grabs in 2022, when Republicans need only one seat to take back their majority, and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) — probably the most vulnerable GOP senator up for re-election — hasn’t yet decided whether to seek a third term and Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) bowed out this week, reported Politico.
…GOP is concerned that Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) might retire after seven terms or that Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) might also choose to leave …
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Spineless.
AMENNN Nerdy…AMEN…
Beauty Break!
Good!
Congrats to Secretary Blinken

Wow! Is this first time a poem is recited before the Super Bowl?
With this tweet, my anonymous days on Twitter or over.
If I decide to continue on Twitter and this forum it will be with my name.
Want to thank all of you who have followed me since 2011 when I joined Twitter.
Goodnight TOD.

Wait, did something happen? I hope you at least continue on here. Thanks for all that you’ve done during the Obama years and up to now.
Oh I love that. 😍
Statement by President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. on International Holocaust Remembrance Day:
(excerpt)
“The Holocaust was no accident of history.
It occurred because too many governments cold-bloodedly adopted and implemented hate-fueled laws, policies, and practices to vilify and dehumanize entire groups of people, and too many individuals stood by silently. Silence is complicity. As my late friend and Holocaust survivor Tom Lantos so frequently reminded us: “The veneer of civilization is paper thin. We are its guardians, and we can never rest.
When hatred goes unchecked, and when the checks and balances in government and society that protect fundamental freedoms are lost, violence and mass atrocities can result. The United States will continue to champion justice for Holocaust survivors and their heirs. We are committed to helping build a world in which the lessons of the Holocaust are taught and in which all human lives are valued.”

We’re Back!
Just so fabulous Dudette!

Secretary Blinken on Holocaust Remembrance Day 2021
“Atrocities like the Holocaust don’t just happen. They’re allowed to happen.”
Secretary Blinken,
Congratulations on your new job and thank you!
Well there’s my answer. 😄
Incroyable! AG is such an inspiration now and for our future.
😍😍😍
Congress must pass the John Lewis voting rights bill….
“It took under three weeks for the Republican Party to crawl back to Donald Trump after the Capitol attack”
After terrified lawmakers panicked and were rushed to safety due to armed and violent people rushing the Capitol, they decided they weren’t going to protest the 2020 election anymore…it took less than three weeks for Republicans to go crawling back to Trump when they voted that impeachment of Trump was unconstitutional.
Some Republican members are saying that the Senate should just “move on” from this insurrection. It has been less than three weeks, Homeland Security issuing a bulletin that anti-government terrorists are ready to strike again and one Trump supporter warning “something’s coming.” The GOP was once the party of “America” and “Security,” but after a violent attack on the U.S. Capitol, they’re urging the government to “move on.”

Shocking 🙄🙄🙄
I’ll never forgive whoever gave that arse access to create a shithole out of that beautiful Old Post Office. History that should’ve been preserved. Washingtonians have been pissed for so long. 😖😷
When you hire good people to run things, they do good things.
When you got the glow! 😁
A whole thread of awesomeness 😎
Wot?!!! That kid is channeling!! Little guy is amazing! 😂😷

Hi Everyone,
Was wondering if the TOD door is now open.
CONGRESSMAN MALINOWSKI:
“False GOP Attack Ad With QAnon Messaging Against Malinowski Led To Death Threats”
Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-NJ) joins Lawrence O’Donnell to discuss the death threats he received from QAnon followers after the National Republican Congressional Committee pandered to the right-wing group. He also tells Lawrence that he is leading a censure resolution against Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) for his role in inciting the insurrection at the Capitol.”
Still knocking at the TOD door …..
