Lawrence Odonnell is skewering that Sarah Huglybee Sanders. Have you noticed that she seems to not be able to get that hair together? She is looking more unattractive than usual and that one eye is trying to get away from her….lying and being unprepared and sneaky will do that to you.
Just beautiful!

Chris Matthews had two white congressmen on, one (R) from PA, one ( D) from OH. Neither would comment on assault weapons aka AR-15 being banned, their use being for killing multiple people, quickly. Who needs this? Certainly not a 19 year old, or anyone else.

Carson is eating food now. He’s looking at his mama like….give me some more pudding, mama.
Carson is so dear!!! Absolutely precious. Please give him a big hug and a kiss for me :)
Thank y’all. He likes pudding and bananas. He’ll eat prunes but not that much. I bought him a lot and took them by their house. I have to feed our baby!
So adorable 😍
Too much CUTENESS!
I’m loving and enjoying reading every single post on here so much. In fact, I think I’ll do a repeat and read them all again. I can’t wait to go and see Black Panther. My daughter-in-law called me last night to tell me that her, my son, and granddaughter went to see it. She told me that she plans to buy the DVD when it comes out, which will be a first. Her, my siblings, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, my children’s in-laws usually borrow my movies since I collect them. Yep, I collect movies and books. I’m hearing a lot of people who went to see the movie saying that they plan to buy the DVD when it comes out. Coogler had better makes plans to make more than the usual DVDs that are normally distributed. I see them breaking record sales when the DVD does come out. And still we rise!
BTW, no matter how much those that are jealous and hateful try and disparage the movies to stop its success, it won’t work. Doors will be opened!!! The boy is a genius with a brilliant mind. More hidden genius to come.
We’re planning on going back Friday, Granny. I want to absorb every moment.
I am looking forward to seeing the movie and plan to take two of my granddaughters and my youngest daughter to go see it. My other grandchildren have already seen it. I want take the younger great grands that are ages two and three, but I know from experience they’re not gonna sit still and won’t let anyone enjoy the movie. We’d get kicked out the theater if I took them. Anyway, I plan to buy the DVD, so they can watch it here or later on when they’re older.
I’d like to have a chance to pay close visual attention to the heart-shaped herb garden and also to listen closely to the words of Killermonger’s father in the “dream” encounter.
And, of course, just a chance to see EVERYTHING again :)
Granny.
Saw it on Sunday. Will see it again.
Am already ready for the DVD with the Director’s Cut.

This is so awesome, Granny! Thanks for sharing this Black History jewel.
No thank you for letting me share it. I meant to say great-great uncle, Me hates typing more than one great, I’m a lazy typist. *sigh* I confess.
What fabulous family history/U.S. history! Both were such major contributors to their communities!

SG2, bring me back to reality. I keep thinking that T’Challa with Shuri will fix this and other things in the news today.
At least Nakia will push them to fix things. Maybe, T’Challa’s uncle should guide him through dreams.
This is heinous, frightening, evil!

I think it was LarryO last night who had on a former IRS person, trying to explain the problems of Cohen from the IRS POV. LarryO had to cut him off – time issue, but I want that guy back on, because he was explaining how Cohen pretty much phucked himself, talking about he paid the porn star out of own money. I wouldn’t be shocked to hear one of these days that Cohen spent some time with Bobby Three Sticks. His ‘ simple lie’, turns out not to be so simple. The money will get you – EVERY DAMN TIME!!

NO! The characters are complex. They have ideas, beliefs, and different life experiences that influence these ideas and beliefs and behaviors.
Even though I disagree with Killmonger’s actions,I definitely can relate to what he was fighting for. It’s the HOW.
T’Challa was looking out the the greater, the good of the whole.
Exactly
Racist muthaphucka.

Trump’s ‘no foreign deals’ pledge came with an asterisk
02/20/18 09:21 AM—UPDATED 02/20/18 09:42 AM
By Steve Benen
At a press conference during the presidential transition period last year, a lawyer representing Donald Trump’s business assured the public that “no new foreign deals will be made whatsoever” during the Republican’s presidency.
And yet, here we are, reading reports like these in the Washington Post.
Jordan Libowitz, the communications director for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), told the Post, “Trump’s company is literally selling access to the president’s son overseas. For many people wanting to impact American policy in the region, the cost of a condo is a small price to pay to lobby one of the people closest to the president, far away from watchful eyes.”
DEMONS

Don Jr. Advises Trump After School Shooting: Don’t Go Wobbly on Guns
He pushed dad to keep AR-15s legal while they both watched Parkland teen survivors speaking out on TV
20 FEB 2018 AT 08:45 ET
President Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., urged his dad not to cave in to calls for gun control as both men watched teens who survived the shooting in Parkland, Florida call for action on TV news programs.
The Daily Beast reported on Tuesday that Trump Jr. “has been assuring his dad that the right move was to stay strong on gun rights and draw a hard line on the issue that helped propel him in the 2016 election.”
According to the report, Trump Jr. insisted that his dad refuse to revive any version of the assault weapons ban, which would have prevented the sale of the type of gun used at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
The Daily Beast noted that the discussion came as Trump and his son watched students who survived the shooting call for gun control on TV.

I believe before it’s over with a lot of people are gonna go down with Trump. They’ll regret the day they ever met him and will blame him and his big mouth for it.
Pro 18:7 When a fool speaks, he is ruining himself; he gets caught in the trap of his own words.

And, so many more funds have been established.
Aaandddddd, as expected some Caucasians are very angry about this. Some are saying groups are raising these funds for these kids because movie theaters don’t accept EBT cards. Others are wondering why groups aren’t raising money for white kids to go see the movies. These folk get on my last nerve with their wrong-headed BS and their refusal to acknowledge that most Americans on social welfare look just like themselves. Every one of them that made disparaging remarks about this deserve a good swift kick in the butt crack that would be administered by a shoe with the sharpest toe.

This tells me that those people are concerned about the possibility that the WHOLE Black community…young and old…will get the message of Wakanda and ALL of the positive benefits of seeing it.
Those people don’t want to see the Black youth empowered to become political leaders, scientists and tech innovators, business leaders, etc.
Well, those people cannot stop the movement that is Wakanda!
Some are saying groups are raising these funds for these kids because movie theaters don’t accept EBT cards.
Just unbelievable. The stupid burns.
SG2, It IS unbelievable! They are nasty and want to stop a movement.
But, Wakanda is FOREVER!
Amen. Every time I read one of their disparaging or jealous remarks, Maya Angelou’s poem comes to my mind and gives me comfort.
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
‘Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard
‘Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Good morning, everyone!
WAKANDAFOREVER!
Fantastic! You have put the STLYE of WAKANDA on full display.
Great posting, SG2!!!!
Check out #WakandaCameToSlay. I just found it 10 minutes ago.
I’m so loving this. I should have had shirts made…’Straight Outta Wakanda’. I wasn’t even thinking.
Lol, SG2. You are right! Wakanda IS the best place to have ordered tailored shirts!
My cousin has a small business where she makes shirts. She made our Christmas shirts. The ‘Straight Outta Wakanda’ comes from the movie ‘Straight Outta Compton’. I had shirts made to shout out my hometown.
Aha! Nifty!
