Congrats, Dudette!
Thanks JF! 😀
Oooh NCLB, you’re an artiste! Thank you! 😄👏🏾👏🏾
😎😎😎
Hello there My Saucy Sovereign! Thanks for the new post! 😀
Congrats Dame Dudette on your regal entrance :-)
Thank you My Dear GGail! 👸🏾👑💋
Is anyone welcome to join in on Dudette and GGail’s thread?? <3 <3 😸
Of course MP, come on in and join us <3 :-)
Certainment, Mdme MP! Come! Partake! 😆
Back from errands and shopping, settled down with a cuppa and all o’ y’all!
I wonder what the priests are thinking
Nothing.
I think they have thoughts….
LOL! Bella you crack me up! 😆
i find it interesting how they are giving him space….not interrupting..almost reverence…or perhaps they do not know quite what to expect from this American President
I think there’s a guide (shorter person in front of the cardinal in red) who’s probably describing what POTUS is looking at. If you zoom the picture, you can see that person’s hair just in front of shoulder of the guy (bishop?) next to the cardinal.
lol, Bella, thank you, I haven’t laughed in days. :)
“He’s so tall and handsome. Look at his posture. And he’s so smart and kind. He is truly blessed. I see why The Pope likes him.”
Dudette, they are not thinking none of that, they might be thinking I wonder if I should mention to the President how much we have been praying that Donald Trump or Ted Cruz DO NOT become President of the U.S. :)
If they said it out loud, I’m sure he’d reply “Me too. I want a Democrat to win.” 😄
But you built this, PUNK!
Thank you!
Meta, these are just brilliant responses to Ryan. Thank you!
Hear hear! Can’t let Ryan whitewash what he helped create!
TYVM, jackieg!
Meta! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
ON MY FB…PRAYERS UP………………….
I’m enjoying this townhall!
I FEEL BETTER NOW….:)..GOTTA SEE THE SMOKIN’ SHOES MOVIN’!
Well, ISIS should have the courage to send the manifest (including photos). We’ll happy to welcome them more appropriately and without delay.
Mr. 57 was talking to a client today, who is a dyed-in-the-wool Republican, who has more money than God. A Jewish guy in his 70’s.
Of course, he’s sane and cannot even entertain for one second the notion of a Pres. Trump or Cruz.
He’s fine with Hillary. Sanders is a non-starter for him, and not because Sanders might cost him money: he thinks all he is is angry, preachy, and knows four things and nothing else.
Mr. 57 is a wise man. I should know because he married you.
Well, it was his 70 year old client who easily could vote for Hillary. I must admit, I deftly turned Mr. 57 from Bernie to Hillary and now he thinks it was his idea all along. Bernie’s shrieking, knowing nothing about fp helped to get him to see the light. And I told him to just watch Hillary now and not through past prejudices.
Actually, it was my dog, Rufus, who picked Mr. 57. Rufus has been notoriously awful to every man I ever dated. Mr. 57 brought me home from a party at mutual friends, sat in my living room, and Rufus crawled up on his lap and put his head in the crook of his neck. We were married 6 weeks to the day later, and it will be 36 years in August.
So the wisdom was from that wonderful little black cock-a-poo, who I miss dearly.
Lovely story, 57.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful part of your life 57. Longevity to you both!
We are lucky to have found each other.
After meeting Mr. 57 for the first time, my brother called me and said, “Don’t eff this one up.” So, my brother, who was my dearest friend, and my dog - you don’t ignore the universe under those circumstances, do you?
Ah 57, what a beautiful story! Thanks for sharing it with us! ❤️😀
Cool, huh?
I love your stories 57 - another reason to visit with TOD
99ts, I feel so close to everyone here. Isn’t it amazing?
MY ROOMATE IS HERE…HAVE TO GO AND LOAD STORAGE….SO HAPPY TO SEE THE ENERGIZER SPRINGING FORWARD AS USUAL! MY PRAYERS AND HEART ARE WITH THE FIRST FAMILY…WILL CHECK BACK LATER..<3
LOL.
I’m always nervous for The President when he does these town halls…..worrying what kind of questions he will encounter and how his answers will be accepted. I managed to watch the end of this one and just marveled at how he tries to answer as fully as he can. He is so confident and brave and must have such a desire to make things better. I really, really, really like him!!!!
Why nervous/worrying? Haven’t you seen him ace these things time after time after time… for 7 years now? What on earth do you imagine they might ask him that he couldn’t handle with thoughtfulness, grace, dignity and/or deft humor?
Thank you Dudette. I’m always excited and look forward to our President’s townhalls, no matter where he is or what the questions are. Perhaps if/when Trump becomes President, only THEN will I feel nervous during his townhalls…
Really? Nervous for Trump’s town halls? I would not be listening to DT’s town halls, but would be trying to hide away so no one would know he was my President. Sort of like when I lived in Alaska and traveled in Europe I would say I was from Alaska instead of the USA as many people knew where it was, but did not recognize it as part of the US. GWB had just invaded Iraq at that time and there were demonstrations against the USA all over Europe. I think you have to be on the same side to be nervous for someone. Kinda like going to a recital or speech your kid gives and you are nervous. You know they have the capability but worry something will go wrong. Whereas with someone you have no faith in and despise what they stand for you just have to get through it.
If Trump becomes President, whether we like him or not, he becomes the representative of our country - therefore his words will impact how we are viewed (and treated) by others. So we SHOULD be nervous, not because we like Trump, but because his words can be dangerous and have some very negative consequences for all of us.
I wish these gentlemen were speaking English.
Very cool video:
Look like the Obamas enjoyed the time at baseball game.
#1and #4-can’t choose! :)
They look cool and comfortable.
I think it certainly looks better on Michelle FLOTUS Obama.
So do I
FLOTUS has those lovely curves. She is not a stick.
Love this dress, and love that she’s wearing such exciting clothes on this trip!
yep, she’s wearing the living daylights out of that dress!
It does. I’m going to call it the O dress because that looks like the letter “O” from shoulder to hemline. I love FLOTUS in this dress.
She is getting better and better as the campaign goes on. She’s hired some damn good people.
Hope all of you are enjoying the day …. back to work ….
POTUS ON POINT:
Presidential candidates carrying on like a bunch of idle Junior HS twits…
:roll:

I was just wondering how Dave was doing this morning and whadduya know, here he is trending ‘cuz he looks different. But hanging out in St Barts doesn’t sound bad to me at all.
Wow look at Letterman
Yep just saw. RIP Thomas Jefferson.
Is it Alzheimer’s or mental issues or just a rich man’s divine right to do as he pleases?
A bad case of affluenza i thing obamacare covers that.
Ugh! Than man is insufferable!
Boo f-ing hooooo

I like Tom Levenson’s posts at BJ - and this one is exceptional (to use that word :) )

Writing of the President
“He’s the Ted Williams of the job: he’s got that quality of gracefulness, a stillness within himself, joined to an analogue to Williams’ sweet swing — the capacity to unwind suddenly, and produce so precisely, so effectively, that the audience doesn’t have time to register how hard it was to do what they just saw. He’s a virtuoso.”
Love it!
