They were acting like any two girlfriends shopping together. Many of us can relate to the back-and forth and the silliness. This was fun, but the secret service agents were still very much on the job. While I am sure that it has been a challenge for the SS to cover a very busy and unconventional First Family, I’ll bet that they have been pleased to do it.
Donna, that pastor has more courage and integrity than the entire US media and the Republican Party put together. Whenever the corrupt one starts spilling his poison and lies, people of honor need to stand up and say, “NO–we’re not interested in your filth.”
I agree. I am sure if more people showed that kind of courage we would see the push back we need. I also love that someone interviewed said that if he sought forgiveness they would be prepared to offer it but that he needed to do so in a sincere manner. I thought the day Donald Trump thinks he needs forgiveness for something will never come.
“It’s like taking a three year old to the store.” Love that! Wine in a box …. the whole thing is so funny, light, precious! Thank God we have this FLOTUS! Thank God for Ellen!
Because right now he’s honoring his vow to serve and protect the nation, and keeping YOU out of the White House is the most serious task of protecting the nation that we can imagine?
My thoughts exactly susanne! He IS working, diligently to keep scum like Trump out of the White House and away from those codes! He is protecting our standing on the world stage; heck he is working for the whole world as most of the leaders of the other countries are also afraid of what a Trump presidency could do! This may be one of the most important tasks our President has undertaken … and no one can do it like him!
News paper article at link has longer video. After Pastor corrected it, audience member called out questions (actually, more polite than our dreaded press pool)…
Have mercy– and that pile of water bottles is probably supposed to imply that he’s donated water or money for water to the community. He’d be a better scam artist if he wasn’t so obviously horrid.
I told ya’ll on the earlier thread that Sisters got this! She wasn’t having it and neither will the rest of us. Reminds me of the various times I put my white male principals in check.
So glad NW posted these segments from yesterday’s broadcast of the Ellen Show. I dvr’d it, but when I watched the playback, my local station had done these unnecessary break-ins to make weather reports. All that we had was the rain that you would expect during this time of year and they were acting like a hurricane was coming. Ellen is right, MO is a natural. I hope she does a show with Stephen.
Wonderful pics and videos – thanks NW – you fabulous. Missing the nighttime music girl Dudette – has anyone heard from her?
I don’t watch Ellen very often, but always notice that she rarely smiles – these pics are the first time I have seen her beaming!! Flotus does that to folks 🙂 🙂
Actually laughing out loud watching the segment on FLOTUS and Ellen at the CVS. Don’t we all have one of those friends who likes to get outrageous in public, embarrassing us but enjoying the show? Shopping with Ellen is not for the faint of heart! 🙂
Yes! Michelle is always kind and careful on camera, so her reply was ‘doesn’t look like him to me’. How she said that with a straight face I do not know!!
I know. I caught that too. You know she wanted to laugh, but she is smart enough to know that it would have been headline “news” for the rest of the year.
Me too Meta. Oh my goodness. Precious to know that. I hope Pete Souza can make a photo or two, while allowing their privacy and peace. But maybe not. Just knowing this is very moving.
On another subject: Will one of you TOD folks that I’m friends with on Facebook please post the #WeTrumpHate video. Thanks.
Also, echo what others have said/questioned: Dudette! Where is she?! I remember this happened couple years ago with her. Sure hope she responds to one of you who have contacted her privately.
Wonder if this guy ever thinks of himself as more a voyeur than a reporter? Honestly, the amount of info he gives here is almost potentially “dangerous”. Give the family a break, Knoller, it’s night time!
yes, I hope that many who have been blinded by hate these past O-years will eventually come to see what they missed and say with sincerity: Thanks President Obama;
I long for the day, and I pray that it will be soon, that we no longer have hear or see anything of DT and his band of deplorables again. The GOP needs to get serious about governing and representing the people and not the corporate heads that have pulled their strings to the point that they are empty puppets who stand for nothing. The only thing that DT has been good for is that he helped them to bring about their own destruction. Like PBO, I have no problem with people who have different ideas as long as the goal is the same: how to govern in such a way that all of the citizens can benefit. We need all branches of the government to know what their jobs are and to do them. This stupid not filling needed positions, not bringing important issues to a vote and shutting down the govt. disrupting lives and costing billions because you don’t get your way is infantile and dangerous.
If y’all are on Twitter, check out the timeline of @wikipediabrown She toured the museum this morning with 4 or 5 fellow twitter-geniuses, and she has abundance of tweets, wonderfulness. And she has one hilarious selfie with them which shows their twitter handle too. Good also but hers is the most extensive. I love @CarlaHall — she is in some posts because she was there today and is onboard as part of the team for the cafe and food. She is the BEST!
The American public’s trust in the media in 2016 has fallen to its lowest point since at least 1972, according to a new Gallup poll released Wednesday.
Thirty-two percent of the respondents in Gallup’s most recent national poll said that they have “a great deal” or “a fair amount” of trust in the mass media, an eight percentage-point drop compared to 2015. It’s the lowest point in Gallup’s polling history, which began asking respondents whether they had trust and confidence in the media in 1972.
Public trust in the media fell among respondents who identified as Democrats, Republicans and independents, but the decline in trust in the media was most pronounced among Republicans, whose confidence in the media dropped from 32 percent in 2015 to 14 percent in 2016.
“This is easily the lowest confidence among Republicans in 20 years,” according to the poll.
The drop in media trust and confidence was also apparent among both young and old respondents, according to the study. 2016 is the first time in 15 years that confidence in the media among Americans 50 and older fell below 40 percent.
The Obama Diary 
THE BEST FLOTUS in my lifetime
Agree 100%. FLOTUS and Ellen visit to CVS was something else.
She is the best First Lady this country have had in along time. Will be hard to replace.
They were acting like any two girlfriends shopping together. Many of us can relate to the back-and forth and the silliness. This was fun, but the secret service agents were still very much on the job. While I am sure that it has been a challenge for the SS to cover a very busy and unconventional First Family, I’ll bet that they have been pleased to do it.
I so agree with all of you!
yes she is….
THIS made my day!!!!!!
Donna, that pastor has more courage and integrity than the entire US media and the Republican Party put together. Whenever the corrupt one starts spilling his poison and lies, people of honor need to stand up and say, “NO–we’re not interested in your filth.”

YES!
Pastor: NOT today! NOT in my pulpit!
trump: ok (sheepish whisper)
Me: ROFLMBAO (laughing so hard i had to turn on oxygen…)
trump got an important lesson — Sisters ain’t buying his act!
Yes indeed Alycee. Sisters don’t play.
You made me LOL at you. Hahahaha!
the homegrown demagogue is suddenly discovering that there is a church, let alone Black Churches!
none of his hangons told him about actions and words that would jeopardize the tax-exempt status of a house of worship
Bravo!
We need more people like that Pastor.
“It’s like taking a three year old to the store.” Love that! Wine in a box …. the whole thing is so funny, light, precious! Thank God we have this FLOTUS! Thank God for Ellen!
May pick up a troll or two from this, but I’ve been on bigger assignments.
Because right now he’s honoring his vow to serve and protect the nation, and keeping YOU out of the White House is the most serious task of protecting the nation that we can imagine?

More FLOTUS TV is on the way! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Crying….
OMG Tooooo Funny!!!!!!!!!
I cannot thank you enough for sharing that collection, meta – I hadn’t had a chance to look for it, yet. OMG – stupendous.
Just from what little we’ve seen from preview of this museum, it looks magnificent. I hope I get to see it one day!
I have that wish for both of us, and beyond!
You got it, Booms!!
Sound like another TOD DCroad trip is a must!:-D
Some day!!
opening day will be a momentous day
News paper article at link has longer video. After Pastor corrected it, audience member called out questions (actually, more polite than our dreaded press pool)…
I had missed the Pastor’s expression … it says a lot
What was he invited to do? I can’t imagine why this church would want to hear him on any subject, or to look at him either.
Church is a water distribution point. He requested the visit under the guise of wanting to thank them for their community service…
Have mercy– and that pile of water bottles is probably supposed to imply that he’s donated water or money for water to the community. He’d be a better scam artist if he wasn’t so obviously horrid.
Love it!!!
LOVE this event.
I told ya’ll on the earlier thread that Sisters got this! She wasn’t having it and neither will the rest of us. Reminds me of the various times I put my white male principals in check.
I needed this laugh…

Hey Dudette, thinking of YOU on this day!!
h/t Arapaho on the launch of this new program!
This is a wonderful thing that will have a positive economic effect in the long run and a personal one immediately.
So glad NW posted these segments from yesterday’s broadcast of the Ellen Show.

Please share:

You see it when Ellen saw the Halloween custom and she said “Hay look Bernie Sanders”. That was so funny.
Yes! Michelle is always kind and careful on camera, so her reply was ‘doesn’t look like him to me’. How she said that with a straight face I do not know!!
I know. I caught that too. You know she wanted to laugh, but she is smart enough to know that it would have been headline “news” for the rest of the year.
WOW!!
😎
Wow is so right meta. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!
It gives me chills to think about the First Family touring this museum privately for the first time. WOW!!!!
me too.
Me too Meta. Oh my goodness. Precious to know that. I hope Pete Souza can make a photo or two, while allowing their privacy and peace. But maybe not. Just knowing this is very moving.
WOW for sure!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

First Lady “Shelly” & Ellen in CVS was a hoot! LOL!!!!!
loved it!
Oh, to have joined them, for both!
OMG, for sure!!

I SO love this man!!

If this country could vote something like Trump into office, then America really is on it’s way down.
GE TODville.
This person was at the NMAAHC today and tweeted some photos.
Love this juxtaposition which represents the great irony of this country from its past to its present.
I recall that during some phases of PBO’s campaign we would hear PBO and a few of the top campaign staff refer to days when it was the “silly season”.
some days I get the feeling that we are indeed back in the “silly season”
I long for the day, and I pray that it will be soon, that we no longer have hear or see anything of DT and his band of deplorables again.
