Many thanks to Chips and Dudette and everyone else for all of the photo and video links. I can’t begin to keep up with all of them. Also, I have very limited bandwidth with my internet service and all this live streaming is going to put me WAY over my limit this month! Oh well, how many times will we get to witness an event like this? :-D
“At the reception, Billy Joel serenaded the crowd with “Just the Way You Are”, and supplied new lyrics about Trump to the tune of “The Lady is a Tramp”.
Okay - I’m gonna cut Billy some slack here. The Donald at that time had not yet dabbled into birtherism or Right-wing extremism. In fact at that time, many people (myself included) just thought him to be a relatively typical capitalist.
It’s not that I’m picking on Jilly Boel for playing at the wedding (Bill and Hillary were there too), it’s just that I now know Trump has even worse taste than I realized /runs
Hopefruit, there was a lady speaking on cspan- she sounded more like there is a disappointment in US media in that they’re reporting on the PM more as a celebrity than on substance. You know, doing what American media does- nothing much good ;)
I just said this to my Mom and SIL last night, tacky vulgar outfits, plasticine barbies, spray tans and bad combovers, UGH!! If this happens, I’ll be renouncing my US Citizenship and moving to Canada..
That video just makes me crazy. First the poor guy is sucker punched then tackled by cops - several effing cops. So sickening. I hope he sues every damn person in the room, cops, the puncher and most especially racist Trump.
“In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society. But in our past there has been another term for it - Social Darwinism, every man and woman for him or herself. It’s a tempting idea, because it doesn’t require much thought or ingenuity. It allows us to say to those whose health care or tuition may rise faster than they can afford - tough luck. It allows us to say to the Maytag workers who have lost their job - life isn’t fair. It let’s us say to the child born into poverty - pull yourself up by your bootstraps. And it is especially tempting because each of us believes that we will always be the winner in life’s lottery, that we will be Donald Trump, or at least that we won’t be the chump that he tells: ‘You’re fired!'”
Gotta go
Bye!
Come back and enjoy the winner’s circle again!
We forget they are Canadjuns.
Thanks Chips!
You are HIGHLY welcome - thank you, Dame Delicious!
Your Kindness, My Queen, is life-giving! :-D

I had forgotten that Mr. Ian Cameron, the husband of the National Security Advisor Dr. Susan Rice, was born in Canada
PBO’s brother-in-law Dr. Konrad Ng (Dr. Maya’s hubby) is also born in Canada
No Ted Cruz. :)
thank heavens for that !
Yes Indeed! His stench would have spoiled the dinner for everyone.
LOL!!!
GA/GE TODville.
Behind as usual, so these may have already been posted, but what the heck, it’s a State Dinner with our nearest neighbor to Washington DC:

Mark Knoller didn’t sleep last night just thinking about this glorifabulous menu!!!
Saw this on C-Span - ridiculously amazing desserts in honor of the Rocky Mountain region.

Hay do anyone know what time is Nancy Reagen’s funeral?

I’m 5 miles south of Reagan Library, and local news has had lots of coverage.
Radio says her funeral will be 11am PST tomorrow (2pm EST).

OMG, I just read that Billy Joel sang at Trump’s (last) wedding - told ya he was Satan!1!1!
What year was that Chips? LOL… :)
2005!1!1!1!
“At the reception, Billy Joel serenaded the crowd with “Just the Way You Are”, and supplied new lyrics about Trump to the tune of “The Lady is a Tramp”.
😷
Haha!..

LOLOLOLOL! You.Are.Terrible.
:) :) :) :)
LOL! Yeh that was kinda wrong. Felt that same way when I heard Elton sang at Rush’s wedding!
oh dear! that’s a travesty ……. like he needed another reason to remain in your “red book”
WORD
Arrivals also streaming here (if you don’t want to keep listening to the Ambassador on CSPAN)
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/state-dinner-for-trudeau-caps-off-official-visit-at-white-house-1.3483695
Thanks a mill Dudette, that’s much better quality too - well, on my machine any way!
Yes, agree, thanks Dudette.
Didn’t see your info on cbc livestream till after most arrivals, :( but a much crisper image for me too. :)
oh thank you - did not want to listen to the callers at all, on cspan.
There’s Sandra Oh from Grey’s Anatomy! LOVE HER!!!!
I followed the link to the CBC above. they are already live streaming the arriving guests.
Ps. Paul Ryan is a punk of the highest degree. Couldn’t he really organize some formal meeting for the CAN PM.
I saw that Speaker Pelosi welcomed him to the Capitol - definitely she is the best representative of we the people in that House
Is CBC News an anti-Trudeau outlet? Their depiction of the news coverage seems kinda snide. I may be wrong here.
Hopefruit, there was a lady speaking on cspan- she sounded more like there is a disappointment in US media in that they’re reporting on the PM more as a celebrity than on substance. You know, doing what American media does- nothing much good ;)
Oh okay…makes sense. Thanks sherijr for clarifying.
no problem :)
OMG! There they ARE!!!!
What a gorgeous dress our First Lady has on.
FLOTUS :)
oh FLOTUS’ dress! Gorgeous! and her hair!
Love the hair too.
There is no one who walks the red carpet in Hollywood who is as glamorous as these four!
This is true!
Well. I caught 35 seconds of it. Gorgeous.
Thumbs up everyone look good.
FLOTUSSSSSSSSS….she looks beautiful…i love her hair….soft and billowy around her face…and her dress floats around her….love it
Sophie Trudeau is championing Canadian designers, just like Flotus champions American designers. She is a charmer.
Yes, Mrs. G-T, I’m in awe of FLOTUS too! :-)
I guess they deleted the video :???: Here is something that will make you smile :)
CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR MOTHERDUCKER BACK ATCHA!
Hang on, FLOTUS!!
Chips, you can churn out those awesome videos quick! Is that a .gif or MP4 and is it less than 3MB….also are you using some Mac application too?
oh my goodness Mike Meyers- has white hair!
Yep, that threw me for a sec, then I realized, ya know… dude grew up. :-)
thanks, couldn’t believe it. Happens to us all I guess :(
You’re not alone. :-)
It was nice to see Michael J Fox too.. I thought he would be in a wheelchair for some reason, so was good to see that he wasn’t.
Ew!
GAH, they both give me the creeps. Their expressions look like too much plastic surgery. Scary!
WITH CRAP TABLES AND STRIPPER POLES!
:lol: Exactly, Sue!
I just said this to my Mom and SIL last night, tacky vulgar outfits, plasticine barbies, spray tans and bad combovers, UGH!! If this happens, I’ll be renouncing my US Citizenship and moving to Canada..
You can come to Ireland Purpleshoes, I’ll find you a room :-)
You can see Donald’s spray tan line separating his face straight down right in front of his ears.
Uuuuuuuuuggggggghhhhhhh!!!!
That video just makes me crazy. First the poor guy is sucker punched then tackled by cops - several effing cops. So sickening. I hope he sues every damn person in the room, cops, the puncher and most especially racist Trump.
So will there be more .. like the toast; etc?
great-looking couples
b
cspan is irritatting me…i am not interested in the opinion of politico
Dump ’em. Go to the CBC News live stream here
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trudeaus-guests-arrive-for-white-house-state-dinner-1.3483695
Although, right now I can’t tell if they’re looping guest arrivals or guests are just still arriving.
No wait, it’s live. I think it’s time for official photo of the couples at the bottom of the stairs.
thanks

Speaking of 2005 (upthread, Billy Joel performing at Donald Trump’s wedding per Chips and HF2):
