Don’s on point comment
I have no idea how much Starbucks pays their employees, but can you imagine having a job where you have to engage customers in conversations about race? You work two jobs just to keep a roof over your head and some billionaire with nothing to do sends down a fucking edict from on high forcing you to talk about something that he or she doesn’t have to worry about, let alone talk about.

Hello, GGail.
Congratulations on first.
Thanks bad-girl :-)
Congratulations Gail :)
NW - day after day, the best news roundup on the Internet!!! TY!!!!
Thanks, Bob!
Thank you Bob! :-)
I’ve been scrolling for so long, I had forgotten I was First :D

Damn, it’s been a perfect weekend :cool:
Thank you Legend!!!!
Ahem. Chelsea beat Hull. 6 points clear.
Meh.
Oh, oh, and a game in hand.
Hush.
BTW, did you see my missus news?
No! What happened?
She’s officially full time. Someone quit.
Fantastic news LL, thrilled for Mrs LL!!
So happy to hear that FT news for your missus, LL!
Okay, hold up LL. Did I miss the part where you “put a ring on it”????
I remember you commenting about it and then…????????!!!!!
No, no, not yet. But soooooooon.
Don’t make me put you on blast brother!
THIS!!! Waste not another moment, LL. You are an honorable man. <3
Definitely a LAZY man. Stop procrastinating
Great news, LL!
1. You’re welcome, Chiparooovanpersie.
2. You forgot Chelsea being 6 points clear atop the league table. I’m sure you’re celebrating that too. :)
That was my only weekend sporty blip, otherwise: perfect! :-)
Just need Australia to defeat India at Cricket this week - and the world will be a lovely place.
I have a notion that most of your Late Night/Early Bird Chat conversation with Amk that day will end up in spam #Rude :-)
I will be polite - amk will no doubt be abusing his team, regardless as to whether they win or not. I am uncertain as to what they have to do to meet with his approval!
There is nothing they can do to meet with his approval, 99ts - even if they win the World Cup by 976 runs, he’ll say ‘WHY NOT 977, LOSERS?!?1’ :-)
:) eggsactly
(He’ll be here soon acting all affronted :-) )
egg.sack.lee. #LOSERS
LOL!!!
In the birth process, you, Chips, grabbed all the competitiveness and I chose modesty! FTR, I don’t get why you’re bragging - for you to win the hockey final there needed to be a second place. Geesh!
LOSERS!1!1!1 :-)
SECOND! 2nd!!! The rung on which 1st climbs. You couldn’t have gotten to 1st without us!!!111!! Show a little appreciation! :roll: :roll:
“You couldn’t have gotten to 1st without us!!”
I. Am. DEAD! :lol:

Hi GGail and NW!
Hi Judith! I just now finished reading allllllll of the information NW packed into this new Post. :D :D
It always takes a while to digest all the food for thought NW gives us! Totally worth it!
Judith, you’re so sweet :-)
Hello, Judith!
Hello and a thousand thanks, NW!
Good afternoon and THANK YOU, NW.
LL,I remember someone ask some woman a question like that and all she did was come up with some stupid answer which made no sense. In other words trying to make excuses for Ted Cruz who wasn’t born in this country. Those tea party racists excuses.
NW, you ought to be ashamed for putting that last vid out here. LAWD have mercy :D :D :D
LMAO. I put it in especially for you. I saw it and after cracking up, I said to myself, GGail is going to get a kick out of it; because she knows. Oh, she knows. ;)
Glad it made you chuckle. :)
Ahem.
LOIC!
REMY!!
SAVIOR OF THE DAY!!
I would have saved his effort. I hope that goalkeeper is awake all night with tummy trouble.
Blah blah blah, 8 points back.
I sense your fear :cool:
If by “fear” you mean “jocular insouciance”, yes, you do.
Hahahahaha, you do know me! Damn!
I fell out of my chair! And it just. won’t. stop., Oh hell! click!
Wowwwww…going to the heart of Klan Country…i pray that the Secret Service does a great job of protectng our President
Wait, how did I miss ‘Arry Redknapp getting fired by QPR and replaced by *gasp* a black manager?
Jeez, you’re as up to date as the GOP, Mister :roll:
And not to be cynical, but QPR are going down - and you can bet your bottom dollar Chris Ramsey won’t get the job long term.
Of course. He’s the sacrificial lamb.
Yup. Just like Terry Connor was at Wolves - that’s English football for ya, give black managers a teeny time as caretaker managers of doomed clubs, and when they get relegated declare: ‘See! Black men can’t manage.” Same old, same old.
As fucked as the US is, we at least give PoC a real chance and managing pro sports clubs.
Gotta love it ….
;)
Perfect tweet, Bobfr!
PRICELESS! J Street is on the job :-)
See this? I’m dyyyyyyyyying.
Yep yep, saw it on MotD :lol:
Spent the day with Peanut and her mother. We did breakfast/lunch at the Golden Corral…then the afternoon at Chuck-E-Cheese. I know that it can wear on you, but I like it. Watching a place that just makes kids happy. I love seeing the beautiful diversity in children, all races, shapes, ethnicities, sizes. Seeing what little thing just brings a smile to their faces. Peanut had a ball
That they could all be so happy forever :) So understand your thoughts rikyrah
Bibi: “It’s all Obama’s fault that I said I was against a 2 state solution!”
Liqud/republican logic.
once again NW great set of tweets! :D
Gracias, Alice!
On Fareed Zacharia today, there was a discussion about strained relations between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu. And of course, there was a republican who tried to put the blame on President Obama.
It’s pretty obvious Republicans have received their talking points. Watch for all republican spokesmen to repeat the same thing over and over again. Netanyahu showed his ugly colors last week and republicans are rallying in the damage control operation.
We have to push back. Because we just KNOW the media will help them in their quest to change the story.
I shared a few weeks ago about my friend who was after me to read John Hagee’s book, Jerusalem Countdown. Then the next book she pushed on me was Ben Carson’s, America the Beautiful. She went on and on about how intelligent and informed he is “on so many subjects.” I was nice, but made it clear I would never be reading either of those books. Well, today she called and we talked about our families, health issues, etc. Then somehow the conversation turned to PO. I stressed how personal I feel about the fact that he has been SO disrespected, marginalized, delegitimized, demeaned and undervalued and added that those things are like an umbrella over every issue, regardless of what the issue is. That took her into ME and Israel. OMG! Back on Hagee’s book, rambling on and on about the Tower of Babal, how the Jews were the CHOSEN people and how we all have Jewish blood…..the origin of everyone of us. I let her talk and ramble, then thankfully found a way to change the subject. Geez. They are total Fox News watchers. S.C.A.R.Y. She said she prays every night for this president and if he doesn’t change his mind about Israel, we are all doomed. Lord, help us!!!!!!!!!!!! I know the people who believe this are in the minority, but it is still scary.
Posted this, then saw LovePolitics comment. No coincidence, huh?
Tell her humans all came from Africa, so we all have African blood to be proud of!
lol. When she said that, I did tell her that we all had AA blood in us. That’s when she said that the Jews were way before that…….they were the first. Sigh………..
Hey Tnmtngil, I read what you’ve said. Tell her that Netanyahu is the one putting Israel in more danger. He is sinning against YHVH by murdering innocent people & creating an apartheid state Tell her I thought she was pro-life, if she was, she would see what wicked thing he is doing. It is written “And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.”, Zechariah 7:10. And by the way some of the people in the Gaza Strip are saved Palestinians, Messianic Jews and other life. So in Bibi’s eyes, their lives are less than his but Not in YHVH’s eyes.
Would love to tell her that. However, for right-wingers like her, putting absolute proof or scripture in front of them makes zero difference. They are RIGHT and there’s no convincing otherwise. This couple is from northern OH and they attend a small
Lutheran church here in east TN. They moved here 11 years ago and were not like this then. (We’ve known them since early 80’s when Jon worked for my husband.). It is the perfect example of how powerful Fox News and right-wing radio are.
Then she has chosen what the scripture describes her and others, willingly ignorant. Calling what is good evil and evil good.
However, keep giving her the scriptures, especially the new testament.
tnmtngirl, with friends like that, who need enemies. Couldn’t be my friend.
This man really scares me. He’s so awful.
He even LOOKS like Francis Urquhart - in the English version of the House of Cards. Scares me too & I don’t live in the US!
:) - I am eternally amazed that these folks who want to do away with government and the IRS - still want to be part of the government and live off the money raised by the IRS. Pfffft
He’s the perfect minion for Koch Bro, Adelson, etc., 99.
Ted Cruz……..a disgusting disgrace.
This is cool:
Love it, Meta!!! Thanks for posting. #ACA Day tomorrow!
It’s such a thrill to remember the victory that day. A long year’s work to finally see it pass with a close vote late in the night. YES WE CAN!!
