First Lady Michelle Obama speaks to elected officials and representatives from 63 cities and counties across the country to celebrate their commitment to building healthier communities as part of her Let’s Move! initiative
I listened to his previous speech today. He’s a great speaker. Different style than President Obama. But every bit as interesting and convincing. He’s a natural.
Thank you Nerdy for the new thread.
Now completely off-topic. I think this is the longest stretch FLOTUS has kept one hairstyle. I think this one is extremely flattering and youthful on her. Soft waves, gorgeous.
It’s because it is a parallel universe, an outer place where irrationality reigns. Their citizens are called wackos or T-baggers. The regent is a creature by the name of THE DONALD who has an outsize ego, funny pale yellow hair, and a unique mouth spewing rants, going on diatribes, and aspiring to come to Earth to be president of our country. Go figure!
Wow, am impressed Knoller said “the Texas student”. He probably got a memo from his boss as the creepy smarmy “reporter” wouldn’t have come up with that on his own.
I gather from reading BJ that Tapper is asking the questions - and everyone is being asked “Do you agree with Trump” or similar. Trump has nothing to agree with other than treating immigrants in the way that Hungary is currently treating refugees.
Tapper has to be one of the worst. And this would be the PERFECT time for the democrats to have a debate of substance & let the country see who is standing on the other side. By the time DWS gets it together - 90% of the country will think there is only one party running for President. Just appauling.
People are wondering what the hell is wrong with America to even be considering something like Donald Trump as President. Is it true that Tom Brady have endorse Donald Trump?
Sorry - I don’t know about Tom Brady Bella - but the world is seriously wondering as to why a country that has everything going for it would want Donald Trump anywhere near the white house.
I know one thing for sure, if they do (GOD forbid) get into the WH and both houses, if they start a war NONE of our allies will follow the USA down another war-rat-hole.
These so-called debates are comedy gold. Are they all auditioning for a late night tv show? They can’t possibly think they have the capacity to be president of the US. All of their brains together would not be equal to it.
Oh, Donna, you’re making me tear up with all the love you’re giving to our President tonight. I just want to hold on to him and make it possible for him to be our President forever, even though that would be unfair to him and his family. His big heart, soaring intellect and great personal courage will remain unmatched for generations.
Tsunami Advisory for California
National Tsunami Warning Center
This alert has been updated.
Posted 12 minutes ago
A tsunami Advisory is now in effect which includes the coastal areas of California from San Onofre State Beach, California (45 miles SE of L.A.) to Ragged Point, California (50 miles NW of San Luis Obispo). - Event details: Preliminary magnitude 8.3 (Mwp) earthquake / Lat: -31.500, Lon: -72.000 at 2015-09-16T22:54:31 UTC Tsunami advisories mean that a tsunami capable of producing strong currents or waves dangerous to people in or very near the water is expected. Significant widespread inundation is not expected for areas under an advisory. Currents may be hazardous to swimmers, boats, and coastal structures and may continue for several hours after the initial wave arrival.
At the GOP primary debate Thursday night, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) misrepresented the timing of his appointment to a Department of Justice position by claiming to have been a United States Attorney at the time of the 9/11 attacks.
When Fox News’ Megyn Kelly asked Christie about his criticisms of Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who argues that extensive surveillance programs created in the wake of the attacks violate the Bill of Rights, Christie invoked his personal experience with the attacks and ensuing law enforcement activity.
“I was appointed U.S. Attorney by President Bush on September 10th, 2001, and the world changed enormously the next day, and that happened in my state. This is not theoretical to me,” Christie said. In his closing remarks, Christie repeated the claim and date.
Reports from the time suggest that Christie’s nomination to the vacant U.S. Attorney slot in New Jersey was widely anticipated prior to the attacks. The New Jersey Star-Ledger reported that the White House had contacted Christie on September 10 to tell him they had begun the six-week vetting process that would precede his nomination. But Bush didn’t actually nominate him until December 7 of that year, and he did not assume office until early 2002. The “Meet Chris” section on Christie’s campaign website says that he “served as U.S. Attorney from 2002-2008.”

Great pics Nerdy. Thank you!

These are the best pictures and stories. The tweets from the last post are better than any so called news organization. Thank you Nerdy Wonka.
:)
I agree with everyone NW, GREAT job as always. We are so lucky to have you on this blog.
For people who prefer a more sane event!
I listened to his previous speech today. He’s a great speaker. Different style than President Obama. But every bit as interesting and convincing. He’s a natural.
He really is. He’s forceful and knows all details of the issues like the back of his hand. He speaks with conviction and HEART.
Yes I agree LP2008.
Love this. Thanks, Donna.
Thank you, NW! Wonderful to have these YouTubes.
:)
Thank you Nerdy for the new thread.

I gather these ah’s are ‘debating’ in a dead & buried prezinent’s “library” with his mothballed plane? How apt.
When I watch the republican debate I always feel like I’m an outsider looking in on a completely different world.
It’s because it is a parallel universe, an outer place where irrationality reigns. Their citizens are called wackos or T-baggers. The regent is a creature by the name of THE DONALD who has an outsize ego, funny pale yellow hair, and a unique mouth spewing rants, going on diatribes, and aspiring to come to Earth to be president of our country. Go figure!
smh/
Cops can’t handle the fact that many many many of the top world scientists do not have white skin.
I hope a very good lawyer steps forward and sues the heck out of this police department.
Thanks a million Nerdy for the new post and summary of our POTUS’ and FLOTUS’ day! :)
:)
good one, donna.
But the GOP wants to bomb them anyway……
Oh, Donna, you are on a roll today. Whatever medical procedure you had, it has not slowed you down one whit.
:lol:
Wow, am impressed Knoller said “the Texas student”. He probably got a memo from his boss as the creepy smarmy “reporter” wouldn’t have come up with that on his own.
love the no more shits to give lamey ducky thingy. eat it, racist texans.
The President’s actions speak louder than any cussing out we could give those assholes
Thanks Nerdy for your beautiful work again tonight.
:)
Boy even more lies in the second debate. All lies and nothing about issues.
Pooh Donna, hawt tweet!
It should be Oooh not Pooh
I’m so far back - didn’t even realise the debate is happening
Breaking News from CNN
Donald Trump says U.S. “will be respected” if he’s elected. “My temperament is very good, very calm.”
CNN - that used to be the best of the best in world news - how low can they go?
My brain cannot comprehend - Trump is turning the US into the laughing stock of the world. PBO restored faith in the US.
they are all a bunch of hot headed morons.
I gather from reading BJ that Tapper is asking the questions - and everyone is being asked “Do you agree with Trump” or similar. Trump has nothing to agree with other than treating immigrants in the way that Hungary is currently treating refugees.
Tapper has to be one of the worst. And this would be the PERFECT time for the democrats to have a debate of substance & let the country see who is standing on the other side. By the time DWS gets it together - 90% of the country will think there is only one party running for President. Just appauling.
we really need to have some debates. DNC is angering me.
People are wondering what the hell is wrong with America to even be considering something like Donald Trump as President. Is it true that Tom Brady have endorse Donald Trump?
Sorry - I don’t know about Tom Brady Bella - but the world is seriously wondering as to why a country that has everything going for it would want Donald Trump anywhere near the white house.
I know one thing for sure, if they do (GOD forbid) get into the WH and both houses, if they start a war NONE of our allies will follow the USA down another war-rat-hole.
I saw a clip showing that Tom Brady endorsed Donald Trump for President.
Good One from Nina Turner
god they are all horrible and acting like children.
…that is true…but look at the questions being asked as well…
CNN is all about Trump and simple questions. Nothing about Climate Change thus far.
Oh Lord, Pf, the idea of Chris Christie as a “vessel” is hysterical. Just thinking about it makes me laugh.
smilin
the vessel he would be is a tub boat
These so-called debates are comedy gold. Are they all auditioning for a late night tv show? They can’t possibly think they have the capacity to be president of the US. All of their brains together would not be equal to it.
#AllObamaDoesIsWin
w00t! :D
Awesome sauce! Great tweets!
So great to see and hear FLOTUS again today. :)
And this is truth. Just let them talk because ignorant is what they are and ignorance is all they have to show.
Wow, I don’t see how any city could survive a 15 feet tsunami. The devastation and loss of life must be horrific.
All these anti-abortion statements are disgusting. Carly’s was a big disgrace.
Love all these smart Tweets, DD:)
Thanks DF!
Outstanding!
Sure the no good worthless black man came along and wreck their perfect white America. Only racists would think that way.
Great job tonight, Donna! Thank you.
You’re Welcome ;)
You are ROCKIN IT, Donna! Well done! :-)
LIVE NOW: TVN Santiago, Chile earthquake coverage - http://www.cbsnews.com/liveFeed/widget.shtml
I’ve noticed Trump has not said a peep about Vice President Biden. It’s been 24 hours.
and focusing on stupid stuff that no one could give a shit about.
They were pitiful
Nerdy! You’re watching and tweeting!
Bravo and an A for extreme service
I intended to watch but after 5 minutes gave up. All of these people are repulsive. Dumb and vicious. and crude.
Bless you NW - that about covers it
Thanks Nerdy! I really appreciate you taking one for the team and watching that dreck so the rest of us didn’t have to!
Oh, Donna, you’re making me tear up with all the love you’re giving to our President tonight. I just want to hold on to him and make it possible for him to be our President forever, even though that would be unfair to him and his family. His big heart, soaring intellect and great personal courage will remain unmatched for generations.
refreshing to see with all the hate PBO has gotten by the republican clowns.
Perfect!
Thanks NW! Work interrupted my playtime today 😘
