President of Mexico: “I thank Barack Obama his solidarity with Mexico, at the moment in which we prepare for the impact of the #HuracánPatricia @POTUS.”

PBO has become an expert at how to make something go viral, how to make news and change the conversation via the internet. He understands how most of the MSM (tired phrase, but haven't thought of a better one) no longer does the work of reporting, but just waits for clickbait to post, so he provides it for them. This is the shit they love. Now pics of every Repub making a Grumpy Cat face will be trending on everything and will make it to the evening news and late night shows as well. He is handing the DNC a giftwrapped talking point. If they choose, like Bernie Sanders, to go all gloom and doom and run against his successes, they become Grumpy Cat too. If they run on this admin's accomplishments, they reap the "anti-Grumpy Cat" media benefits.
Well said MadameSoph! Nerdy Wonka is truly a gift to TOD! She always brings us news that are never thoroughly covered by the corporate U.S. media. Now I know why Chipsticks calls her a legend, despite her very young age.
NW, I don’t know if you have the ability to make other excerpts from his remarks today, but at around the 11:00 min mark in the Cspan video he gives another hilarious example of how the Repugs are fighting climate change tooth and nail and how ridiculous/crazy they are. He compares it to going to see 100 doctors and 99 out of the 100 say you are really sick, you have high cholesterol. And then you say no those 99 doctors are crazy and are part of some wild eyed socialist plot to keep me from eating cheese! Hysterical! :lol::lol::lol:

America & humanity still await the GWB, Cheney illegal war & torture regime to be investigated

The stain ain’t gonna go away with ‘time’; like all major crimes, justice will be served. Remember, they’re still hunting Nazis 70+ years after VE Day.
You’re right about Adele. She’s been burning up TVs too. I switched from MSNBC to BBC to get away from Chuck Todd. BBC World News has been nonstop Adele all evening. :-D
In_deed, Dudette!!! Fun watching …. but they’re all CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Time to chill … in the kitchen to dinner prep … given my state of exhaustion best I just say good night now and hopefully this weekend I’ll have a bit more time to participate in our very special TOD community ….
Caught a few minutes of All In With Chris Hayes. Guy reviewed Ben Carson’s book. If you get a chance to watch, I’d recommend it for the sheer hilarity.
@chrislhayes @Mobute That was hysterical. My suggestion: Stop while you're ahead.
No idea. Sounds goofy to me! But - hey - I don’t have a teevee show, either. (Maybe it means if you’re “All In,” you’re an inner. So, turns out I am not one.)
Donald Trump can’t handle a debate longer than 2 hours
Paul Ryan works a 40 hour week and the job of Speaker will not interfere with that
Hillary Clinton is grilled for 11 hours - ends with her looking great and the RWNJs wiped out
“Blankenship crushed the mine workers union that was baptized in his backyard. Voluminous court records and government investigations show that he presided over a company that padded its profits by running some of the most dangerous workplaces in the country. Massey polluted the waterways that had sustained Blankenship’s forebears, rained coal dust on the schoolyards where his miners’ children played, and subjected the men he grew up with in southern West Virginia to unsafe working conditions.”
As Pierce says
It’s further proof that you have to be soft in the head to want the American government to “run like a business.” Blankenship’s tenure at Massey proves that you don’t even want a business to be run like an American business.
All this miners are ANGRY at PBO’s EPA for killing their coal jobs. These people don’t care about living, just working until it kills everyone in their family and the entire town.
Girl, I’m not. 8 years was NOT enough to break the cycle of the old status quo; me need another 4 - 8 years! Joe was our only hope of continuing and building upon PBO’s legacy of hope and change.
My rallying cry - to my own brain - isn’t working, either. You are so right, of course. I’m sick about it. Damn heartbroken. Every Democrat other than PBO and Joe are “lesser beings,” and I’m not going for anybody in particular’s jugular with that. They’re just all lesser beings.
Wow, J’OB! Thank you so much for sharing this story. It’s very sad that most Americans, of all ethnic groups, know very little about the heroism and accomplishments of African Americans.
Hi there Alycee! As always, you’ve been on a roll today dropping all this neglected history of African American excellence! All I can say is THANK YOU! I am sharing all your finds with family and friends.

Goood Evening!
Congrats Dudette :)
Thank you NW for featuring Troller-in-Chief Obama; there’s nothing that man can’t do!! :D :D :D :D
Truth from Bobfr!
:)
Indeed!
Thought you might enjoy this …
:)
LOL!
:)
TY Susanne
You’re welcome, Bobfr! This just makes me laugh, every time I watch it… over and over :)
LOL!
I listened to it today and it is FREAKING FANTASTIC!!!!!
It is haunting and has you stunned for a looooooooooong moment before active brain function resumes. :D
^10 NW!!
Happy First, Dudette! LOL - Grumpy Cat!
Grumpy. Mofo. Cat.
LMAO! He got the grumpy face just right too! Always on point! :-D
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL…PURRFECT!!!!!!
THIS! ^5!
except Grumpy Cat is waaay cuter than any Republican.
President of Mexico: “I thank Barack Obama his solidarity with Mexico, at the moment in which we prepare for the impact of the #HuracánPatricia @POTUS.”
Oops wrong tweet. Sorry.
OMG!
Gorgeous photo!
I am going to miss seeing this. Knowing PBO gives me much peace in this chaotic world.
Knowing he is President….
Me too JoJo!
Thanks for highlighting this NW :-) >^..^<

Nerdy you are so creative. Nice to have a laugh.

What has Judith done in Portland?

Can’t do anything right today. 😾
I’m so curious about what you thought I’m up to in Portland. Grumpy Cat was here at Powell’s but I missed it.
I saw him on FB. I think he said stay weird Portland! 🤗
Probably. We pride ourselves on healthy weirdness.
Portlandia! 😻
so, still whining about obama, jorge?
Happy Weekend TOD!!
#TrustBarack …. to deliver!!!
Still waiting ….
The stain ain’t gonna go away with ‘time’; like all major crimes, justice will be served. Remember, they’re still hunting Nazis 70+ years after VE Day.
THEIR ORANGE SUITS ARE WAITING FOR THEM!
Senator Reid’s Twitter account is @SenatorReid though.
Ah yes, Dudette!! MY BAD!!

Thank you …. as you’ve probably noticed, Adele has had the Twitterverse humming for quite a few hours :)
No problem Bob!
You’re right about Adele. She’s been burning up TVs too. I switched from MSNBC to BBC to get away from Chuck Todd. BBC World News has been nonstop Adele all evening. :-D
:D :D
10+Million YouTube downloads in less than 24 h!!
And, that voice never, ever disappoints!!!!
Yep. I’m coming down with something. This is what I’m tweeting.
Take deep cleansing breaths. Drink plenty of water. :-)
Consider this my TOD reader’s advisory for the day.
Jimmy McMillan was RIGHT! Rent is too damn high!
Looks like a little twitter gold mine. Thanks.
Martin Longman (Booman)’s brother Andrew died unexpectedly today.
http://www.boomantribune.com/story/2015/10/23/17291/260
His posts lately have been especially good - how very sad for the family.
Aw. So sorry to hear that. May he rest in peace.
She is a mean looking bitch. She’s going through the middle of Mexico and up through Texas. She might be there now. My computer I s too damn slow!
If we have any TOD members in Mexico, please batten down the hatches and stay safe! What a monster Patricia is!
Gosh, we’re going to miss this guy.
Roger that, John!!!
Grumpy Cat is trending and #HurricanePatricia hit land.
In about 2 min. I will see an Iradium shower? What’s that NASA? 😳 👻
A bit of fun ….
Whoa! Humans are capable of some crazy, nutty, amazing, awesomeness!
[T&A shots near the end notwithstanding] :-)
In_deed, Dudette!!! Fun watching …. but they’re all CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Time to chill … in the kitchen to dinner prep … given my state of exhaustion best I just say good night now and hopefully this weekend I’ll have a bit more time to participate in our very special TOD community ….
Take what I’m sure is a well-deserved rest, Bob!
TY Jacqueline :)
Happy weekend to you and I hope your son is doing well.
He is, thank you, Bob!
Caught a few minutes of All In With Chris Hayes. Guy reviewed Ben Carson’s book. If you get a chance to watch, I’d recommend it for the sheer hilarity.
I remember hearing CH say last week that segment was going to start on his show. Sorry I missed it.
It was quite humorous, and we need a little humor (to cut off the circus train that is the Republican party!).
never got the stupid #inners meme. what does it mean anyway?
No idea. Sounds goofy to me! But - hey - I don’t have a teevee show, either. (Maybe it means if you’re “All In,” you’re an inner. So, turns out I am not one.)
Why does ANYONE support the GOP
Donald Trump can’t handle a debate longer than 2 hours
Paul Ryan works a 40 hour week and the job of Speaker will not interfere with that
Hillary Clinton is grilled for 11 hours - ends with her looking great and the RWNJs wiped out
West Virginia - how did it ever turn away from its roots to support this?

All this miners are ANGRY at PBO’s EPA for killing their coal jobs. These people don’t care about living, just working until it kills everyone in their family and the entire town.
If they were paid high wages I could almost understand it - but no - subsistence and treated like serfs!
Why aren’t the dems hammering the constant prosecutoral role the gop house has put on since 2010?
Excellent question!
Congrats Dudette on First!
Thanks GGail!
Heartwarming story here.
So, why didn’t you tell me to grab the kleenex before reading? Thanks, passing this on to my Navy cousins…
I’m practically “all cried out” this week, but should have warned you!
BTW, the “all cried out” part refers to Joe’s not running. But we’ve got another 15 months of Obama-Biden, so that’ll work!
Girl, I’m not. 8 years was NOT enough to break the cycle of the old status quo; me need another 4 - 8 years! Joe was our only hope of continuing and building upon PBO’s legacy of hope and change.
My rallying cry - to my own brain - isn’t working, either. You are so right, of course. I’m sick about it. Damn heartbroken. Every Democrat other than PBO and Joe are “lesser beings,” and I’m not going for anybody in particular’s jugular with that. They’re just all lesser beings.
Now what?
Wow, J’OB! Thank you so much for sharing this story. It’s very sad that most Americans, of all ethnic groups, know very little about the heroism and accomplishments of African Americans.
Very sad - and our job to push forward! Enjoy your weekend, nath!
Hi there Alycee! As always, you’ve been on a roll today dropping all this neglected history of African American excellence! All I can say is THANK YOU! I am sharing all your finds with family and friends.
:-D
Pete must be fun at parties.
One almost doesn’t need the embedded tweet to have a good laugh, but here it is.
With all the madness and stupidity, it’s been a damn good week!
Good evening Nerdy, Chips & TOD! Happy Friday everyone. Thanks Nerdy for these hilarious “Grumpy Cat” tweets! :)
:)
New post.
