And we KNOW it’s not just his tweets that are loved but his policies, actions, moral character, and impeccable family.

For sure, Nerdy Wonka!
3 of the 5 will not attend the WH reception so Twitler and wife won’t attend the ceremony. LL Cool J and Gloria Estefan are Republican so they would have been the only two at the reception. So sad because Twitler could never bring himself to denounce Nazis and racists.
Trump exhibits typical bully/punk behavior. The minute he gets pushback, he takes his ball and shuts down the game. Now we need to keep the pressure on him to quit playing President and get the hell out of the WH!
It is sad that we have to pray to get a man to resign the presidency. He recognizes he is divisive. If he really believes he is “punishing” us because he won’t attend functions, that is even sadder. Go back to trump Tower and preside over your minions. the remaing 60-70 % of us don’t want you presiding.
Also the birthday of Coco Chanel, Orville Wright, President Bill Clinton, and my mom. She was a die hard Republican and hated the Clinton’s so very much. It really irked her no end that she shared the same birthday as Bill Clinton. Since I didn’t get along with her at all politically, not to mention otherwise, I always just celebrated Bill’s birthday on the 19th when I was with her. Made the day more tolerable.
And wish I had been more of a Star Trek fan, as this info about Roddenberry’s birthday would have added to my day’s enjoyment as well.

I have been a Star Trek fan since its inception. While I am not the type to wear costumes and show up at Comic Con, etc., I do have the DVD’s and still watch some of the shows in syndication. I am a total fan of the Star Trek reboot (Ya, Zachary Quinto) and so loving the relationship between Spock and Uhura.
I had a difficult time when I was in my teens, and looked to Spock for an example of mastering emotions. I learned not to cry or to show fear when I was being tormented by someone who should have known better.
I have always appreciated the little lessons that could be gleaned from many of the earlier shows and am so glad that Starr Trek still lives

This quote should be a trend on Twitter; a timely reminder considering what is going on in US as well as much of the world today.
This is what happens when those who have privilege speak up. RIP, Leonard Nimoy.
Nimoy was an incredible human being.
Wow, Dudette, what a cast. I’ve never heard of this show. More you have introduced me to. Thanks.
You are most welcome. 🤓
Dudette, this brings back memories. We used to love watching this!

I have always believed this and made sure that my high school students were exposed to various art forms. One of my proudest moments was when one of my “huntin’, fishin’ and muddin'” white male students asked to listen to Tchaikovsky.

This is a horrible situation and deserves attention. Unbelievable. If a parent answers one question incorrectly, their child can & will be kicked off Florida’s CMS.

When Bannon says the “Trump presidency is over”:
He means this critical Charlottesville phase of their strategy has been accomplished. White Supremacy intimidation is in the main media.
Next is an extreme right TV network + Nazis officially declaring war on America. Makes sense that Bannon only planned to stay a year, so looks like the project is right on time. Grabbing the media like this is a much needed diversion from the Congressional GOP and White House treason, collusion on Big Oil sanctions and Russia, Trump’s abject failure + his imminent demise and pending resignation. Bannon and Trump now attempt to re-invigorate the right in preparation for the mid-terms with a souped up Tea Party effect.
Hearing the Nazi rally in Boston is over, only had 20 people. Overpowered by 20,000+ anti’s. Guess the 20 ran back under their racist rocks, crying over their hate symbols.
If I have the stomach, stamina, & gumption, I’ll watch Joy Ann Reid’s special on MSNBC this evening @ 7:00pm ET: “Politics of Hate”.
I didn’t even know she was going to be on tonight, if I’m sober I might tune in.
😂 cheers, Don! Joy is on now, ET time.
He’s back…
Crossing my fingers & lusting beautifully for that Day to come Sooner 😉
Okay that Chris Steele, I found a different Chris Steele which I don’t think was the right Chris Steele. LOL!!!
I hope Steele gets a food taster and lots of security.
😆 😉 🙂
I truly appreciated how much President and Mrs. Obama shared their love of the arts with us and filled the halls of the White House with music from all genres.
Thank you for doing your job. Shut these lying sob’s up.
😄
How did someone get a photo of my cat for their Twitter acct? Of course the one thing missing is the sound. When my cat, Clem, sleeps like this he snores so loud I won’t let him sleep with me because I would get no sleep. 😃
LOL!
Thread
Michael Eric Dyson has a vicious article against President OBAMA in today’s Washington Post. I sat in a paring lo for over an hour responding to it. It will make smoke come out of your ears.
Please read it (if you can get through it!) and leave your best comment. I would love TOD to show up en masse to register our disgust.
BTW, @NERDY, thank you so much for keeping this place alive. We need it more than ever.
I do my best not to listen to that motor mouth Dyson anymore..
He doesn’t deserve ANY of my time or attention.
If you don’t give a flame any oxygen, it will die out.
Nobody pays him any attention
🙂 🙂
Bless! 😂
She should file.She’s useless anyway as a supposed FLOTUS.
Good job Boston Police Commissioner William B. Evans!
Bet they would do it.
UGH, I’m not here for the whitewashing of W’s legacy. He was a horrible idiot liar of a president, only to be overshadowed by an even more horrific imbecile.
I agree meta. GWB was a terrible President and did some terrible things during his eight years in office. He should not be elevated to Obama’s level because Trump happens to be even worse than him.
Exactly, meta.
Dems must walk, talk and chew gum = A clear Economic Plan spelled out nationwide while blocking the Nazis.
Bannon last week for what it is worth: “I want them to talk about racism every day. If the left is focused on race and identity, and we go with Economic nationalism, we can crush the Democrats.” So let’s not wait for their Nazi TV. What does Mueller have on Bannon btw?
So, I assume his plan is to fool folks who voted for Trump again, with this phony “Economic nationalism” message while Trump has not fulfilled any of his promises on the economy.
Poor little Donald. Spelling is not his strong suit…
heal.
All that wasted money for his “schooling”! Sad! 😂

Dunno if bagpipes showed up, but there were tubas. Oh yes indeed, I said tubas! 😄

This guy wants to attend Auburn U. because…
He said he plans to take the fall semester off and then to go to Auburn University in Alabama. Auburn officials refused to comment on or confirm his enrollment, citing student privacy rights.
“I really like the architecture and some of the programs there,” Fuentes said. “I think I will happy there and I will be safe. It’s solidly red territory.”

Hey Nerdy, this is especially for you ….
All of the positive protests from ATL to Vancouver have given me life. Evil is always present, but so is good. It fills my heart with joy to see the good coming out and pushing back the cowardly evil ones. We need to this, in ways big and small, in a sustainable way. We liberals/progressives and marginalized people have been through hell for decades, but I am glad that we win the right way and when we lose, we do not lose our souls. Doing things the right way makes the path to justice, equality, and advancement difficult, but the change that is brought about as a result, will be more lasting. However, we can never become complacent or willfully ignorant because the dark forces never really go away, but we can keep their voices and policies from being the dominant ones. Everything that we need to know about how to proceed during these perilous times, is before us in the examples of the elders from decades past and in the more recent words and example of PBO.
YUP …..
Without any doubt …..
Yeh Baby!
This is sacred ground!
RIP….
RIP Dick Gregory

I attend a parish that is quite diverse ethnically, Latinos, Phillipinos, Pacific Islanders, African Americans, Asians, and so on, with many interracial couples and families, but majority white. The priest/pastor, who is not known to be a strong social justice guy, gave an excellent, artful, strong homily on the sin of racism and groups based on racial hated, and on our duty to resist and witness to unity and love. I was quite pleased by that. Here is a reminder of the pure evil that is Nazism, and the Nazi-in-Chief.
New post.
