Thank you to ⁦@BarackObama⁩ and ⁦@ObamaFoundation⁩ for joining our volunteers today at the Food Depository. We believe no one should go hungry, especially this time of year, and that’s why we’re working to address the root causes of hunger in Chicago and Cook County.

Thank goodness 45 didn’t show up. He would have just pelted people with potatoes.

Something about the holidays draws the sharpest line between the two men.

The clearest line there could ever be.

WTF is wrong with people that cannot see that line. My god. Insane.

Wonder if that's still being published.

Most of us are on the spectrum somewhere between Goofus and Gallant. Trump is off the charts. He's Goofus Maximus.

with a large Caesar salad. Hand-torn Romaine lettuce with dressing made with raw eggs.

Then, as a second course, Turkey Tartare, made with raw, ground turkey, garnished with the caviar Putin sent him last week.

Bon appetit, Donwald.

Obama is a natural leader. Trump is a natural tyrant. Obama loves his fellow humans. Trump is a misanthrope. The difference between them couldn't be more stark.

perhaps the greatest of all the great things about Barack and Michelle is their influence on and respect for children. And the very best part of that is the example they set.
