The Obamas gave so much to this country and have taken so much abuse from racists. I understand wanting a peaceful retirement. But we so need them now.
I understand where you’re coming from, but I don’t think any past president, or leader that actually cares about this country and the people in it, gets to take a pass. I think given that they are among the very privileged few, who held that powerful post, they have a duty to stand up! Military Generals too!
Obama did just speak earlier this week. I think part of the issue for the Obama family is their own safety. Partly, I think, Michele Obama needs a rest (she campaigned a lot with Kamala). I also imagine that they are trying to figure out the best strategy for engagement. They could end up just being lightening rods for MAGA/Trump angry rhetoric, which could end up being a big distraction. We, the people, need to keep taking to the streets.
I wrote in another comment section- Help me Obamas, you are our only hope now. But like Luke Skywalker, we need to do this ourselves.
So do the Republicans…. I can’t accept that they are all MAGA, and I don’t buy that they’re scared! To bad, so sad! Grow a pair and do your damn jobs!!
A fascist country - ours- helping to liberate Iran so that a regime change can bring democracy? Under the Trump regime, we are not exactly role models for democratic regime change.
Uh Tara—Trump—no therapy will work. He has NPD and ASPD—both personality disorders. Basically means a narcissistic sociopath. To get therapy requires some level of self responsibility—his narcissism makes him an extreme which means pathological. Malignant narcissism is not in the DSM.
What the heck?! We the people, have been screaming our heads off for months! I love Barack, but give me a break! They keep talking about having a 3rd party, we have one, and it’s in the White House! How about we seek to return to being decent people! Where the hell are our leaders!! Where have they been?
Why is it that we have to depend on an EX-Presidents to speak out because our CURRENT representatives don't step up? I understand that their roles should compel them to do so, and I want them to. But I am more angered by some of the soft-spoken Democrats and the weak-spined Republicans who are NOT meeting this moment! We the People are STILL PAYING them to represent us ACTIVELY in Congress and the Senate. I hardly see any news on MY Congresswoman, who appears to be figuratively missing in action. Unfortunately, my one Senator is a new and Republican, and the other is John Fetterman, the once-Democrat that votes more like a Republican, when he shows up to vote. As soon as THIS president got into office, they should have realized that we were on high alert, and moving up on the Defcon scale from the green 5 range with us now marching up to 1. I know that I felt that way, and I am just an ordinary citizen. I write prolific emails, place calls, protests, and inform others. WHAT do THEY do?
Trump and his entire cabinet are complete, inept morons.
You are 100% correct
Go Dodgers. One ☝️ of my favorite teams.

Leavitt, like Trump, lies, lies, and lies again.
She makes me want to rip my hair out… lol! I can’t watch her.

Psst...did you read my last sentence? I think we are in violent agreement with one another.
Yes…. My iteration of agreement 🥰 … The whole thing is just sooo crazy!
I agree.

How can no one see that Trump is clearly demented?!
Democrats need to grow a spine and stand up to Trump and his insane followers.
So do the Republicans…. I can’t accept that they are all MAGA, and I don’t buy that they’re scared! To bad, so sad! Grow a pair and do your damn jobs!!
*too
Jim, great conversations today. Love the fact that Tara is outspoken. Obama would be a great interview. Go Dodgers, thank you for standing up to ICE.
Doesn't Congress need to approve going to war before we go to war?
Yes, of course that is what happens in a Democracy, however…do we still have a Democracy?
Clinton, W., and Obama out there TOGETHER! Tara is si right!
A fascist country - ours- helping to liberate Iran so that a regime change can bring democracy? Under the Trump regime, we are not exactly role models for democratic regime change.
Listen to Tara people! I love this important energy, thanks so much guys!
Trump is a very, very sick man. He's evil, weak, and completely insecure.
and totally vulnerable to manipulation…
I nominate Jim Hines for the Dem shadow cabinet.
