NO, MICHELLE OBAMA, DON'T LEAVE US, PLEASE COME BACK!
We will miss you.
Earlier today, President Barack Obama did his final news conference of his entire presidency. (He left by explaining to that idiot Trump how press freedom works in a functioning fucking democracy, because that is where America is as a nation.)

Yesterday, it was First Lady Michelle Obama's 53rd birthday! We had a nice open thread for you, where we looked at pictures of her being badass, and we said happy birthday and reflected on how she's been the best first lady in the history of U.S. America, and made a vow that we will never say happy birthday to either First Lady Melania Trump or First Lady Ivanka Trump, because PFFFFFFFFFFFFT is why.
As we write this, Barack and Michelle Obama will be residents of the White House for, oh, 43 MORE HOURS, and it's OK if you are sad, because we are sad too and we'll just cry together. And if you need help crying, hey, here is a video of Michelle Obama walking through the White House one last time with her dogs:

It never ceases to amaze me that the people who whine so much about how every step toward equality means that they lose ground and is evidence that they are "oppressed" are usually the same people who vociferously deny that privilege exists and that they have it.
Rain seems inevitable for Trump’s inauguration. https://www.washingtonpost....
Temperature in the 40s. I take my satisfaction where I can.
Drumpf, of course, will use it as an excuse for the shitty crowds, which - if you count the people who stayed away - were yooge. Tremendous. The best crowds ever, so much better than Obama's. Which were totally rigged.
