While you're on tv blaming Obama for your disastrous presidency, he and his wife are looking fabulous in Italy.

1. You know, Trump used to LOVE being around celebrities

He ate it up. Now he's a pariah cast out by the beautiful rich and famous people. He'll never again be able to hob knob with the Hollywood crowd at it eats him up.

The Obamas Are Visiting the Clooneys in Laglio, Italy, but Don't Expect Many Photos

The biggest event of the year in Laglio, Italy, is taking place this weekend. No, it's not a holiday; it's a visit from the Obamas. They're coming into town to see their good friends George and Amal Clooney, and the local government has never been so excited. With that excitement comes extreme preparation, which the Lake Como–adjacent destination is in the midst of. The mayor has accordingly instituted a massive 300-foot "exclusion zone," and a $565 fine for violating it, intentionally or not, to make sure that no paparazzi member or otherwise gets in their way.

The town is also somewhat shutting down for this meetup, which will include Malia and Sasha Obama, who are taking a summertime family vacation throughout Europe. (So far they've hit Provence and Milan.) “The parking lot at the back of Villa Oleandra will be closed for two days, Saturday and Sunday, because it should be available for the security service cars," as the mayor explained to the Daily Mail. "In the territory and also on the lake, numerous men and law enforcement agencies will be in service." The Riva Soldino beach, as well as the town's pier, will also be off limits to everyone—except for boat owners. But they will have to stay outside of the "exclusion zone" as well.

The "exclusion zone" is for the entire weekend, but the Obamas and the Clooneys will be spending specifically Saturday night together at the Clooney Foundation for Justice. The two families' other plans haven't been revealed.

Perhaps not surprisingly, the mayor couldn't be happier about this hangout, which he referred to as “an exceptional promotion for our territory and a great honor.” “For such a great honor, there is a price we must pay,” he added.

Thanks, SummerSnow. This is a pleasant break away from the freak in the White House. It's tremendous taking a moment to remember someone who is worthy of a truthful election to the highest office.

3. Many of Trump's friends are in prison

4. And, once again, I knock my head against the wall and wonder how we went from that to this.

5. We should have held the Bush crime family accountable

for the Iraq war.

[Vinca]

6. One of my biggest fears is the next Dem POTUS pardons Trump in the name of unity.

[llmart]

7. Absolutely!

But we have a tendency in this country to want to sweep our "mistakes" under the rug hoping they'll go away. You know what happens when you sweep something under the rug? Eventually it all comes back out to be dealt with another day.

12. And we shouldn't have let Ford pardon Nixon

and we should have kept up the Iran/Contra hearings and we wouldn't be here today.

14. +1

[cwydro]

16. And apparently we're letting this current goon get away with his bullshit.

Unreal.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. And Vinca..do you ever wonder if we can get back to normal?

8. Living well is the best revenge.

9. You want to know who could beat Trump?

George Clooney. 100%. Or Tom Hanks. Especially Tom Hanks. I actually think he'd be preferable to Oprah.

[cwydro]

10. I don't get celebrity worship.

Please.

[Midwestocrat]

11. I don't either.

Government and celebrity-ism are like oil and water and completely unrelated. Except, apparently, for millions and millions of other fellow Americans.

But I do know it is absolutely impossible not to love Tom Hanks.
