    Nerdy you have been amazing. I have been heads down at work and did not have much time to surf the web over the past few weeks, I found I could get caught up on the happenings in under 5 mins by finding a post with your tweets.

    Thanks so much for all you do.

    Thank you.

    It is astonishing and disgusting that nutanyahoo will be addressing Congress without the WH having anything to say about it.

    Perhaps PBO will campaign vigorously for the Livni-Hertzog anti-bibi ticket in Israel’s coming election.

      Republicans control both the House and Senate so whatever comes out of it they own.

      POTUS probably figured if someone is hell bent on proving just how ignorant they are, let ’em.

      • 30 MightyPamela
        January 21, 2025 at 3:29 pm

        Agree with Vicki’s sentiment. Also, nospin, PBO is never one to interfere when the GOP are determined to makes asses of themselves. Which is all the time.

      It’s pretty clear that Netanyahu is more than willing to undermine POTUS and the RWNJs in Congress are more than willing to give him an assist. Sick and beyond disgusting all the way around.

    Nerdy, magnificent selection as always. It’s not easy to choose just the right statements, but your judgment is unerring. The tweet about public support of the president’s policies before and after the speech tell us everything we need to know about the disservice the GOP/media do to the American people. It’s only when Americans get unfiltered information that they know the truth instead of the lies and realize how much they support what our President is doing.

    I hope those who have been trashing the president over the still evolving Pacific Rim Trade Agreement heard the reference to this in the SOTU. He said that if we don’t set the trade agenda in the Pacific, then China will and American products will be shut out. He acknowledged that past trade agreements, i.e., NAFTA, don’t always represent a good model, but his team is working to get it right. People on the so-called left who cork off without getting full information always choose hysteria over reason. They have no better ideas; they just like to throw brickbats.

    • 41 jziglar
      January 21, 2025 at 3:49 pm

      Right. The left needs to stop acting like every trade deal is bad. You can negotiate solid trade deals and so far this administration did just that with South Korea, Panama, and Columbia.

    Fantastic Tweet Summations, NW. The Incredible TODable Nerdy Wonka. Thank you so very much.
    Congrats Chips on your Fine Au :star:
    I have listened or watched the SOTU speech at least 4X since last night. Live when it aired. Then when CNN repeated it. This AM before C-SPAN’s Washington Journal and I had it playing in the back ground as I was getting things done.
    Brilliant Speech……but then again, POTUS does It Good ;)

    Has anyone watched how Rusty Town Crier Boehner licked his lips when POTUS said I won both of ’em? Priceless.

    • 48 MightyPamela
      January 21, 2025 at 3:31 pm

      Yes, but he licked his lips so often all through the speech, yucky yuck yuck. Wish the camera had been at a different angle. On the other hand, maybe people watching were able to see a bit more of his neurosis. Alcoholic, and desperate.

    I don’t know how Vine works…..but Edwardo Cruz is wicked smart. I have a suspicion that he and his team did that on purpose for Attention. That way, he would be talked about…..after all, he was in competition with Ernst, Paul, etc. Cruz Loves the attention. With both chambers in the hands of the GOP……Cruz knows that his antics are now severely marginalized.

    // When President Obama said, “I have no more campaigns to run,” he knew that some of the Republicans would act like the children that they are and applaud wildly. And they did. His next line, though it may not have been on the teleprompter or in the preview of his speech that people in the media received (I checked, it’s not in there), you can just about bet that he knew they would treat him this way and had the next line in his hip pocket just for the occasion.

    This is the face of a man who knows his opponent has just stepped into the trap that he has carefully laid:

    President Obama has wicked comedic timing. He’s proven that time and again since he was elected. There’s no way he didn’t have that line ready to go, to be delivered at precisely the moment that it would get the biggest laugh line.

    It was a thing of beauty. //

Falling-Out-of-Chair tweet in this batch: Boehner in the express lane… Thank you thank you thank you.
