Hi NW, thanks for your great post.
:)
Congrats on first, Betsy!
Good Night TOD
Thank you Nerdy!
:)
Absolutely gorgeous photos, thank you enormously massively, Nerdy!!
You are welcome, Madame Rooney!
No, no, no - we’re divorced, I’m Madame Rashford now :cool:
No….No…Nope…Nopity….Nope… You knew what you were doing when you entered into the unholy union with Rooney.
You’re not jumping ship now.
I said that very same thing to myself. “She done left Rooney and is hanging with Rashford now” :D :D
LOL.
Wow.
As the saying goes, “You ain’t never lied.” His ugliness is laid bare for the world to see.
Thank you for this eye opener, Chiparoo.
It’s amazing Nerdy. It’s from Gogglebox, one of my fave shows, it just shows British families watching TV, ranging from the serious to the silly. It was the tone of the that news report that was so striking, it captured all the hate and menace at Trump rallies, which we so rarely see on US news. And then the reaction of those families, they were just horrified. And Trump boasts that the whole world is talking about him. Indeed, but not too positively.
As the young man said, “This is a picture of Hell”. I had to watch this twice. The world is watching all of this.
Watching Lawrence with Donald at AIPAC say he will move the capital of Israel to Jerusalem. He got a standing ovation there. Do they not recognize pandering? LO’D said Trump read his speech of the Teleprompter showing he knew the audience knew more than he did. He supposedly said a couple things wrong for this group at the earlier press conference when he was talking off the cuff. Oh yeah one was to quit giving Israel money.
Our very lovely First Lady. /sigh
Thanks NW for this recap in pictures :-)
:)
Well, he’s clearly won over another Country. Are there any left for him to conquer with LOVE? <3
What a wonderful cornucopia of pics. Going to be happy! Thanks Chips and Nerdy
:)
ohhhh myyyyy goooodnesss….what a phenomenal spread….
thanks to you…NW….thanks
:)
What a day! What a first family! Im still in stiches over that presser Q&A earlier. Nobody does it like our pres.
I am just in awe of Chips and NW. You too are the best at keeping us informed is the best in business! I get such chills looking at all the pictures and ready the stories. Watching history is breathtaking. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You are so wonderfully kind.
Thanks so much, MTMarilyn. :)

Cubans really appreciate that Michelle, Malia and Sasha accompanied President Obama to their island.
FLOTUS’ shoes! :)
GE Susanne.
LOL, didn’t notice her shoes, but did like the photo:
Anybody see this earlier?
My first thought was he was talking about the GOP … not sure if this tweet refers to this video, but sounds like it.
And Bernie turns around and uses the RW fake smear against Hillary.
I later saw a reference to that. He said that at a rally?
Do you ever get the feeling we’re living in an alternate universe, during this campaign?
The GOP and the media pundits have created that - over the past 8 years they take every last comment out of context than can possibly be used against PBO. GOPers can say the most horrible things, but a minor slip/confusion from a dem - the screams never end.
I try not to hate - but the US media are deceptive, liars and continually work to diminish PBO.
Oh, Chipsticks, if you are here - very important email heading to your inbox!! <3 🌩⚡️🌪❄️⛈💫✨🌟
Thank you chips and NW - amazing coverage today. Looking at all those pictures - everyone is always smiling when around POTUS & FLOTUS - they bring happiness with them wherever they go.
They surely do! It’s a beautiful thing.
:)
Amazing coverage every day - so much the media prefers we do not see.
Blessings
Thankful to the Nth Degree to Chipsticks and Nerdywonka for this dazzling parade of photos, stories and quotations from this historic and profound journey in progress. We are blessed to infinity to have POTUS in charge. We are blessed to infinity to have you two to document and share the story and the images all along the way. What a joy and fascinating time this is, to have our beautiful First Family reaching across the divide of past disagreements to create a bridge to connect Cuba and her people to the world community. Another gift, free and from the heart. .
” … free and from the heart.” Nicely put!
Thanks so much, Nancie!
CNN is pushing this headline:
for the nth time, STFU, bill
As usual - the media takes everything a dem says out of context. Put the blame where it belongs.
Nope, this is typical of clintons drama. Say something stupid without thinking and then try to walk it back. They are not novices when it comes to fifth columnist media and yet they act like one.
Nope - it is typical of the GOP and the US media - they NEVER stop with their horror show
And even assuming that he meant the rethugs, how his wife will be better at overcoming the rethugs, given their long history with the rethugs. He should have been talking about electing more dem cong critters so that his wife can push past the past 8 years of rethug burn it to the grounds tactics.
GE TODville.
Thanks a million, NerdyW for the fabulous photos, videos and links in this thread! And for live-tweeting PBO’s and Raul Castro’s press conference.
Stupendous job, kudos for providing such wonderful and timely info. :)
Isaac Devore seems to have done a 180 on this trip — don’t know if Trump has knocked some sense in him, but his articles this week have few if any #BlameObama snarks and barbs.
A few more of the amazing images from Cuba … and goodnight, TODville!

Good Morning TODVille!
What a morning in Brussels!
Good morning TOD …. another day when we witness the consequences of unbridled hate so readily funded by those who make even more money by doing so …. bbl …. take care everyone …..
#TrustBarack
Morning!
