SO! The Obamas are going to make about 30 MILLION dollars for their 2 books…earlier yesterday, I’d heard SIXTY million, but I think that was incorrect. I hope so. I suppose he’ll blather about what an amazing president he was and I hear she’s going to write a book encouraging Black young people. Why the HECK didn’t she do that in the 8 years she had the bully pulpit? NOT ONCE did I hear either of these people speak to young people saying “GO TO SCHOOL, DON’T GET PREGNANT!, GET GOOD JOBS and, for HEAVEN’S SAKE…lay off drugs…where’s THAT going to get you?” But NOW she’s writing a book $$$$$
NEVER. Not ONCE. So, Michelle Obama, who says her children’s role model is Beyonce (read these lyrics, I was going to quote some here but can’t bring myself to type them, and I AM NO PRUDE)… This was the day after we heard Donald Trump actually said P***y IN PRIVATE 11 years ago! “Well, how awful! He’s dreadful! MY daughters’ role model is BEYONCE!” Oh, my goodness.
I love this from THIS ARTICLE: “The Obamas plan to donate a “significant portion” of their author proceeds to charity, including to the Obama Foundation.” Ruh Roh! Shades of THE CLINTON FOUNDATION? 🙂
So, listen, in a comment yesterday I gave this information: “The widow of Joe Biden’s late son Beau Biden has started a romantic relationship with Beau’s brother Hunter Biden, the former vice president’s younger son. Hallie was devastated when her husband, Beau, died after suffering from brain cancer in May 2015. But she has since struck up a romance with Beau’s brother Hunter, 47, who has separated from his wife, Kathleen. We’re told Hallie and Hunter are now officially a couple.”
What they want to do is their business…..but my point is this: IMAGINE IF A REPUBLICAN WIDOW WAS ‘DEVASTATED’ BY HER HUSBAND’S DEATH AND WITHIN A YEAR AND A HALF WAS DATING HIS BROTHER WHO JUST HAPPENED TO GET SEPARATED?
Ya, that’s what I think.
BY THE WAY! I put CNN on about five times yesterday to see what hateful nonsense they were spewing and I had to laugh at the fact that they had Van Jones on most of the day apologizing in a hundred different ways for having said Trump was presidential the night before. Oh, BLISSFUL TV 🙂

I am confident Barry and Moochelle will rake in big bucks for their books. Once the public library receives their copies, I am pretty sure they will file them in the ‘Fairy Tale’ section, along with Mother Goose and Grimm’s work.
Although I don’t have an advance copy, I am positive that Barry will tout his achievements: free healthcare for everybody except those rich fat cats that don’t deserve the money they stole from everybody else anyway. Another great achievement: he saved us all from economic collapse in 2009 by spending a trillion dollars we didn’t have on nothing we can put our finger on. Nowhere in this book will be any mention of the scourge of ISIS that was created by him, or the doubling of the national debt all by himself.
Moochelle’s book will be replete with seething anger at everything conservative. I’ll bet that tome flies off the shelves. Just like all of Hillary Clinton’s books – they had so many of them stacked up in the back of bookstores, they had to give them away, and people used them for tire chocks, door stops and fueling their fire places. Nobody, but nobody read any of them.

CI, Attorney General Jeff Session DID NOT PERJURE himself. From my FB Friend, Dave Perkins:
“I must’ve heard a dozen news stories by now, saying sessions talked to the Russians during the campaign but claimed during his confirmation hearings that he did not. The problem with these new stories is, they are leaving out the details of the question he was asked, in writing, by Patrick Leahy. Leahy asked, “have you had any kind of contact with any members of the Russian government concerning the elections?”. His answer, therefore, is truthful. He did not talk about the elections. He was speaking in his role as a senator and a member of a committee, as he spoke with many members of other foreign governments. He said he did not speak about the election with any members of the Russian government. His answer was no to the question, “did you talk about the elections?” He did not contradict himself nor perjure himself. He answered the question correctly. The media is leaving out the part of the question that said “concerning the election”.
Total fraud, propaganda, useless media trying to dent trump by dinging his cabinet.”

FW – Correct; the exact written question from Leahy to Sessions was:
Several of the President-Elect’s nominees or senior advisers have Russian ties. Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day?
Sessions’s answer apparently was, no. He then shouldn’t have anything to worry about.

HERE is the question and answer: “If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?”
“I’m not aware of any of those activities,” Sessions replied. “I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign, and I didn’t have — did not have communications with the Russians.”
SO, you see? The question is clearly about the campaign and Sessions had met twice with Russians but on the kind of stuff they normally meet on….as they do Canadian, Japanese, etc., ambassadors; It’s clear to me that Sessions was totally right in his response.
Catherine Herridge of FOX NEWS suggests that it’s odd that the Russian Amb. would contact Sessions JUST at the height of the scandal…….as if to force a meeting that he’d be sorry for…

Looks like the recusal was a very good PR move because it looked like he was proactive; ahead of the media frenzy. He’d had a meeting with his staff and gone to the DoJ ethics experts who said since he’s involved at all in the campaign, he ought to recuse.

Shakespeare’s audience fully expected a standard revenge tragedy when the play was first presented in the old Globe theatre. They had no idea how complex, murky, convoluted, lengthy, dreary, and philosophical it would be.
I do believe, however, that most Bretons, Scots, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Normans considered it custom for nobility or aristocracy to shelter and support widows and orphans of close kin, but NOT to marry their dead brother’s wife.
