Nearly 12 million people have been displaced by the conflict in Syria. As Americans, we can't sit idly by. That's not who we are.

FURST.
:star:
Cungratulations!!! 🌞 Morning Sunshine!
HAVE A WONDERFUL EVENING TOD FAMILY…BLESSINGS…:)
Awesome tweet round up. Thanks, NW!!
You’re welcome, Africa.
house crazies elected their terrorist yet?
TODers!! It’s the FULL episode!!
Good find meta!
Can VC & 99t watch it?
Nope, I can’t, CM. I’m waiting to see if anyone finds a way to make it ‘see-able’ for those in far off places. :)
If I could only remember where I left my magic wand.
:D :D
wow! thank you so much for posting this meta. Will it be a continuing series or just a one time show, do you know? This was so very well put together.
Jeb could “step in”!
This is why Hillary Clinton”s comment about how the President mismanaged the Syrian conflict by not arming the “moderate” rebels is so disingenuous..
Congrats amk …. you’re legitimately FURST :)
NW, you are like clockwork!!! Every evening another outstanding roundup of important news (and some fun!). TY!!
Also ….
#LetsRollJoe
bbl …. sup prep ……….
THIS!
You’re welcome, Bob.
Nerdy, so many of the tweets tonight are both heart breaking and eye opening. Thanks for keeping things real for all of us.
Thanks, Jackie.
A great selection of tweets - informative, captivating, touching, and inspiring! Thanks Nerdy for this excellent tweet post :)
Thanks, GGail.
GGail? :)
Good tweets NW. I wish I could leave my comment under the ones I really like, cuz by the time I get here to comment, I’ve forgotten what they say 😳
:)
Awesome tweet. Speaking of, are you still boycotting Twitterville?
looking at a few fav tweeters without an a/c. that’s about it.
Yo, Amk, can *you* watch the Vice video, and if yes, which button did you press to make that possible?
no. and no.
#grrrrr #wascountingonyou
I don’t understand the idiocy of social media banning themselves in nonmurka. After all, your revenue stream is clickbaits.
All I understand is that I find it very frustrating! In the case of the comedy shows I could still access them via our comedy network if I cared to, but other banned shows I can’t. Although, in fairness it was advertised on the HBO Canada site/link (which I may have since I’m a Bell customer who pays for lots of little doodads that I don’t often understand or use). It is majorly frustrating when they *are* showing something I want to see and can’t!
Try sending LL a DM or email, he seems to find special tools to, um, broaden one’s horizons sometimes. Dunno if it’ll apply in this case but, ya never know.
Thanks, D-ette. I’ll ask when/if I run into him today.
also. too. even if I found shortcut, I won’t tell ya. Ha.
will pray for you(r self-centredness) next time I pray for unowho1.
what did she do now?
Nothing new - her ‘TOD soul’ just needs my continuous prayer.
I’m sure god has his own buck-it list for her.
Wait a minute, how do you know God isn’t a ‘she/her’?
god = he
goddess = she
jeez sheesh.
:roll: god = asexual
Please Joe, just go ahead and announce!
The media always seems to find the negative about a democrat - how about they rant about the money coming in for the GOP defenders
Interesting segment coming up on Lawrence. He’s looking at a speech of Joe Biden’s from 5 years ago to speculate how Joe might handle running against Trump in 2016.
I was chatting on the phone and missed it, but will watch the replay - thanks.
Saw a quote this past weekend, about all the brouhaha as to whether or not Joe Biden will announce in time to debate: “Joe Biden doesn’t need to debate.”
Ha. Works for me.
BTW, saw this in a room somewhere last week and thought of you.
‘Not exercising for seven days will make one weak.’
desk, desk, desk, where is my fricken desk?
Or *this*?

True!
And ….
Much better than the alternative ….
I am so happy for Trita and his colleagues :)
There’s joy in a tweet, right there! I’m happy for all of us. Castro, Zarif, Putin. Our President “shook” (hands with) them all.
Me too, Jacqueline.
Good night everyone ….
Goodnight, Bob.
This is what change looks like
I’m watching the First Lady on the Late Show.
Anyone by side me watching her, boy she got a welcome from the crowd. I thought they were not going to stop applauding for our First Lady.
Thanks to you, I caught part of it, too. She looked marvelous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes she did jacquelineoboomer. I wonder if she and POTUS watch the show.
I can see them, watching and teasing each other, munching on the popcorn!
Here’s John Legend now, on Stephen Colbert …
:)
My senator, Enzi, never sends out emails. He rarely answers my emails to him. I knew him when our kids played soccer (football). 😉
Anyway he sent an email tonight. Is it me or is it weird? I don’t ‘get’ it.

Something I want to say, I saw a article talking about Ben Carson’s wife looks.I read some comments. And I do not want to do what the right wing haters have been doing toward Michelle Obama for seven and eight years. They have call our First Lady every disrespecting name under the sun. They have talk about her looks, her height, her butt. They have even question her womanhood, but now when someone say a word about Carson’s wife looks they are having a dam fit. Being the hypocrites that they are, they can dish the ugliness out, but they can’t take it.
We should try our best not to do what they do.
I know what you are saying.. Because Carson’s wife could be a nice person, just happen to be married to Ben Carson. I will do my best not to be like those right wing haters.
Me, too. Of course, none of them are having any such “fairness” thoughts tonight, about our dear First Lady! Grrr.
Yep. All the wives looks should be off limits.
The wives and kids should be off limits, but I have to say this, our First Lady surely wasn’t off their list, neither was Malia and Sasha.
Hmm…
Something rigged perhaps?
My position in the primary is that I am for the Dem candidate who is the strongest against the GOP in the general election. The Joe Biden supporters can make that claim now based on this poll just released from NBC/WSJ
http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/MSNBC/Sections/A_Politics/15398%20NBCWSJ%20September%20Poll%20(2).pdf (Page 19)
Joe Biden-48
Jeb Bush- 40
Joe Biden-56
Donald Trump- 35
Joe Biden - 49
Ben Carson-41
Joe Biden -47
Carly Fiorina-41
Hillary’s numbers -not so good on P. 18 Only one point ahead of Jeb, 10 ahead of Trump, and one point behind Carson and Fiorina.
Of course we’re not yet in Oct. and the first Dem debate hasn’t happened yet so these numbers can change, but I would say it would be a good idea for Joe to show up at that debate if he is in this election. My only fear in his entering is that he and Hillary split the non-Bernie vote and Bernie wins the nomination, which might be a disaster for the general election. Strong debate performances by Joe could remedy that.
I wouldn’t take the polls too seriously - particularly concerning Biden’s numbers.
Because if he throws his hat in the ring, they will change once the media and public start picking him apart like they do Hillary. Being a frontrunner has it’s advantages - and disadvatages because there are people trying to take your spot. Republicans are not bothering with Biden or Sanders at the moment but when they do it won’t be pretty.
For Sanders, they have made “socialist” a dirty word. They will hammer that one home if he’s the nominee.
For Biden, they will dig up any and everything he did the last 20+ years in the Senate and pick the bones dry. They will also do everything to tie him into the “Obama failed agenda”.
And I won’t even go into how the Bernbot’s will react except to say they will definitely start up with their “big banks!” talk. I can just see the countless rec’ced diaries on DKos now….
Ta-Nehisi’s book is number 1 this week on the NY Times best seller list.

I saw FLOTUS on Syephen Colbert tonight and she was amazing! her outfit was so fabulous I had to replay her segment several times so i could enjoy it. The top, the pants, the shoes, and the style. I hope we get pictures - hint hint :)
So after one speech…Sen Warren becomes folks’ darling again….is that all it takes??
one speech - one topic. If the Senator (and others) could just support the administration between the speeches no more would be needed.
she supports the obama administration about 99% of the time…with real votes…much more than just “one speech.”
She has spoken against him, very publicly, a number of times
indeed
Morning!
