Thanks Sabreen
Aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesome Nerdy, thanks a trazillion Legend!!!
You’re welcome, Chips.
amazing how the media just parrots another shrub talking points without questioning them.
My local NBC news just reported that Jeb is his own man. No mention of his hiring GWB’s warmongers to work for him. I detest the media.
BTW, I just got a robo call from some Hillary Clinton group. Really?!?
#whatsamazingaboutthat

Bestest newsiest ever, Thank you, Nerdy.

Sure, Vicki. :)
Thanks Nerdy! Great tweet round-up :)

CNN has a reputation of being wrong…but if by some miracle, they happen to be correct this time…like a broken clock…
America is ready for NEITHER another Clinton or another Bush.
she is permanent president-elect.
i wonder who they asked
Good question. Because all the people that the Clintons campaigned for in 2014 LOST…so how can we now believe that “America” is ready for another Clinton?

The Justice Department is preparing to bring a lawsuit against Ferguson, Missouri, police over a pattern of racially discriminatory tactics used by officers, if the department does not agree to make changes, sources tell CNN’s Evan Perez.
The shooting death of Michael Brown at the hands of Officer Darren Wilson thrust Ferguson into the center of a nationwide debate over police tactics and race relations. The Justice Department in the coming weeks is expected to announce it won’t charge Wilson in the shooting, but it is also expected to outline findings that allege a pattern of discriminatory tactics used by Ferguson police.

If that jerk ever gets on another ballot, instead of showing his name, they should just show this photo. You gotta be NUTS to vote for these crazy-eyed jerks.

THIS!!!! He is nothing but a liar like Romney.
Totally agree! From under which rock do they free these liars to lie among us?
NW, Thank you for these interesting tweets.

Always awesome: all the tweets fit to print! Thanks NerdyWonka.

My top priority as President is making sure more hardworking Americans have a chance to get ahead. That’s why we have to make sure the United States — and not countries like China — is the one writing this century’s rules for the world’s economy.
Trade has an important role to play in supporting good-paying, middle-class jobs in the United States. Unfortunately, past trade deals haven’t always lived up to the hype. That’s why I’ve made it clear that I won’t sign any agreement that doesn’t put American workers first.
But we also should recognize that 95 percent of our potential customers live outside our borders. Exports support more than 11 million jobs — and exporters tend to pay their workers higher wages. Failing to seize new opportunities would be devastating not just for our businesses, but for our workers too.
That’s why my Administration is currently negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership — so we can benefit from trade that is not just free, but also fair.
Watch this video my team put together, and then share it with anyone who needs to know exactly what’s at stake.
Oops! I left off the link….
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2015/02/18/president-obama-writing-rules-21st-century-trade
VC, I’m so very, very glad that the president is making the benefits of the Trans-Pacific Partnership public. There’s been too much negative criticism about something that very few people actually know about. Labor unions think it’s anti-labor when it’s the exact opposite. I hope this kind public information keeps coming.
Hi, JackieG! Problem is PBO and his Admin generally make all their news public but people on the whole are not interested in finding out **what** he is really doing. Unfortunately for maximum progress, criticism is the default mode where this pres is concerned.

Hmmmm. Where have you all gone? I’ve been staring at the screen for 20 minutes waiting to see who enters but my eyes are getting tired. :grin:
So the lady who was suppose to have been killed by some guy after they were involved in some rode rage, seem like a different story is coming out. It’s being reported that the lady and her grown son who had a gun went looking for that driver. At first the lady was getting out of her car with her daughter, nothing about she and her son went looking for that other driver.
Great tweets!
This in from CNN- Fed. govt. to sue Ferguson police dept. for racially discriminatory practices:
“The Justice Department is preparing to bring a lawsuit against Ferguson, Missouri, police over a pattern of racially discriminatory tactics used by officers, if the department does not agree to make changes, sources tell CNN’s Evan Perez.
The shooting death of Michael Brown at the hands of Officer Darren Wilson thrust Ferguson into the center of a nationwide debate over police tactics and race relations. The Justice Department in the coming weeks is expected to announce it won’t charge Wilson in the shooting, but it is also expected to outline findings that allege a pattern of discriminatory tactics used by Ferguson police.”
Wilson should be charged. That boy was murdered IMO.
Agreed!
TODville - Our O’friend CanadaBarb4Obama is home, following her surgery, and would very much appreciate your continuing good thoughts and prayers for her, as she recuperates and awaits her biopsy results in the next few days.

Yet part of the frenzy is Netanyahu’s own doing.
In a preemptive strike before the release of the report, the Netanyahus had the Israeli interior designer Moshik Galamin over to film a walk-through of the official residence, to show the people the couple does not live in the lap of luxury but rather must endure tired carpets, dusty lamps and the kitchen from hell.
A 15-minute episode was released via social media Sunday by the decorator with full participation from the Netanyahus and their people. It is high camp. When Galamin, dressed all in black, isn’t gushing, he is holding his hands to his cheeks in mock shriek. Dingy drapes!
As they tour the residence, Sara Netanyahu has to yank open stuck doors. She apologizes for the dust and an arrangement of wilting flowers still on display three weeks after she received it from the visiting Japanese prime minister.
The pièce de résistance of the tour is the kitchen, which, depending whether you are an average Israeli voter or an average Israeli interior decorator, is either a bit frumpy . . . or a dump.
“I am shocked that this is your kitchen!” Galamin declares. He says it reminds him of “a 1960s public health clinic” or “a Romanian orphanage.”
Quick-eyed Israeli reporters noticed right away that the kitchen presented in the video is not the Netanyahus’ only kitchen. It is the staff kitchen, they said, the working galley where chefs whip up dinner for guests. There is a modern, unrevealed kitchen for the couple’s use on the second floor.
This might not have been the ideal optic for the Netanyahus, and especially for Sara — already a controversial figure in Israel, lampooned by TV parody shows as a Jewish Marie Antoinette.
