Completely brilliant Nerdy, some outstanding links in there especially on the guns issue.
As for the frog … I will recover in time.
And the candlelight? I will *never* recover :lol:
:)
Nerdy those tweets were awesome. The frog & Candles were just don’t have the words to really say what I mean. LOL :-)
:)
I’m with you on that one Chips. OMG that was just hilarious.
Hay Cosmo go buy Ebony, you will see who America’s First Family is.

lol at the frog.. omg, I can so identify because that sweet little cat I brought in two nights ago who I’ve nursed and babied… just bit the hell out of my finger about an hour ago! :) :(
SheriJr Get to a doctor ASAP, cat bites are far worse then Dog bites, and when my little dog chomped down on my finger, I spent 3 days at a walk in clinic getting transfusions. Not fun at all… The red lines were moving up my arm at a rapid pace.
Thank you Inga, I know you’re right.. I was bitten as a teen and my entire arm swelled for a week. My sister was bitten about 3 yrs ago by one of her cats and she ended up in hospital for 4 days. I will call the VA in the morning, I promise you or sooner if I have any problems at all. I have no death wish, honest.
thank you, I waited a day, and by then my hand was huge…take care
I am, thank you so much. So far just the end of my finger is slightly swollen, keeping a good eye on it really Inga.
sheriji, try soaking your finger in Epson salts It draws out any kind of infections. It’s a try. Just keep it moist with the Epson salts even through the night.
Unfortunately none here, but I did pour peroxide on it after washing it good, I squeezed it and let the blood flow a bit immediately after she bit it. I’ve also soaked it twice in peroxide since. So far it’s ugly but not really swollen, just tender. Thank you Roberta so much.
Oh flippin’ heck sherijr, that’s some gratitude!
lol, eggzackly my response Chips! ha.
Highly informative tweets, Nerdy. Thank you.
:)
as usual, you bring the tweets…funny, informative, touching, those that challenge and make you think.
thanks
Thank you so much, Rikyrah.
POTUS is grayer than I’ve ever seen him!! Maybe it’s just the lighting……..
Maybe it’s the lighting.
I’ve only been able to quickly lurk/scroll through threads all day. Can someone provide a link to the Politico hit piece on VPB. Thanks!
Great tweets! Excellent choices. Loved the frog too!
:)
First of all the real failure is Bobby Jindal. And from what I hear the Oregon gunman’s mother sound like a nutty right wing gun lover. Someone Jindal would love.
The very reason he singled out the Father.
Thank you, Nerdy. The good, the bad and the hilarious!
FLOTUS were working in that garden. Republican First Lady would stood to the side in her designer suit as someone else did the work.
:)
Chris Hayes is being so disrespectful of human grief, the way he is discussing the big Joe Biden-Maureen Dowd “collaboration tale” du jour about whether the Vice President planted a pity story with her, to manipulate the voting public in some way relating to whether or not he’d run. I thought Chris had matured somewhat in his capacity as pundit or whatever he is, but … uh … no. They’re all nuts.
this was the media moron who casually tweeted about OR deaths and was hyped up by bernie’s fund raising in the same tweet.
as for politico’s bs ‘hit piece’, this too shall pass. by this friday.
Ahh. Thank you. Something to hang on for!

re: TPP
It must infuriate the DC beltway MSM when #BucketList PBO does an end run around them (may have mangled football analogy) and goes directly to the PEOPLE (who in turn elect officials):
And yesterday’s TPP press conference was great (thanks Meta for the link!), very informative and look at how everyone was all smiles when the Peruvian minister spoke:
Lil’ Ezra is now HRC’s defender? Hahaha….interesting how the press seems so afraid of Biden - even those on the so-called left…they’re really showing their true colors now.
Disgusting BS.
What did Joe Biden do? I guess Ezra Klein is one of the idiots who believes whatever Politico says..
55% of Dems believe every story as told by the Corporate News Media many professed to dislike.
Just as many bought the Kim Davis story on the Pope.
I didn’t, therefore, I kept mute.
Twitter makes it easier for folks to react…..instantly without Proper Filter or with deep analytical thought…..Content and Context be darned.
wow, @OpiningCourt is fierce on twitter with her defense of v.p. biden. one to follow!
Exactly. Hillary’s camp is very scared of him. And Bernie’s supporters are too. I think Mr. Sanders has some integrity and won’t try the politics of destruction against him. He will criticize his policies though.
hahahaha…this has happened to me…smiling now…did not smile then
Any criticism of Joe Biden that focuses something he did in the ’90s is null & void in my opinion. Biden has been serving as vice President in the current administration for two terms now - which MEANS that America has seen him fit to be President if the need ever arose. McCain lost in 2008, in LARGE part because America did not see his VP pick Sarah Palin as fit to be President if the need arose.
Everything about Biden’s politics that happened in the ’90s was known in 2008, when PBO selected Biden to be on his ticket. If Biden’s acts back then were so egregious that they are relevant to his running for president now, why weren’t they relevant to his being on the presidential ticket in 2008 and 2012?!?!?
Exactly!
I know these far lefties love Sanders. Fine. They want HRC to fail. I get it.
But why attack VP Biden?
VP Biden Vs HRC would split the Dem base…..therefore helping their guy, Sanders. One would think that would make them happy. Oh yeah, they are NEVER satisfied. Losers!
They are AFRAID that Joe Biden could get a lot of traction. His favorables are good.
so does bill. repeal of glass stegal and other financial malfeasances that enabled 2007 crash.
Hillary has a record too and so does Bill and not all of Bill record is good. Sound like Hillary supporters are alittle afraid of VP Biden.
Katrina is a likely Sanders supporter, but I’m sure she would take HRC over Biden if given a choice.
For those who want to stay up to see Bill Clinton, he will be on Stephen Colbert tonight. Is it tonight or Thursday night?
Excellent copious Newsy Tweets, NW. Job excellently well done. Thank you much.
Congrats to Chips, Au :star: Lady ;)

jtp waiting for the monkeys, who went awol today.
Monkeys probably think since they got the jar there’s no more, so headed out to greener pastures.
Jack has grown quite a bit. Reminds me of my pal Ji’Runt and makes me wonder how *he* is.
yup, greed got them nowhere.
Sure it did - the entire jar and a rooftop feast!
ok, now what?
They find another supplier of party fare….until you miss ’em enough to replenish your stash. It’ll happen.

well, since you asked for it (yes pun, #whatchugonnaboutit)
:Roll: You are outta here! :D Well, actually, I’m the one leaving soon as I’m working again tomorrow and it’s getting daily a bit more tedious to get myself ready and out.
had a similar thought - why hang around when you have irrefutable proof that the peanuts have all been consumed and you have the “storage bin” to prove emptiness
Egg. sack. lee, GCL! In a couple of days (when they think he’s forgotten) they have a lookout to assess the scene. They might even return the jar - all depending on what pickings they find/not find at the neighbours.
thanks to Mr. AMK’s influence, I can no longer read or say or think of Jindal without adding that famous expletive as his middle name;
I have tried, believe me …..
can’t imagine how many fellow students AMK “led astray” during his school days
Meta, I could not believe that Kornacki started his show with crap that happened in 1987. I think these hit pieces will make people love VP Biden even more. I was pleased with E.J. Dionne’s response re the hit report from Kornacki.
YUP.
Here, I donate my pair and get outta here.
