A Tweet Or Two

****

President Barack Obama vetoes the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The president vetoed the sweeping $612 billion defense policy bill, citing objections over how the measure is funded

    They ended the witch hunt just as Scandal started. They don’t want to mess with that. LOL.

    Oh my goodness. It was SO VERY AMAZING, Nerdy, to come here to be both informed and uplifted — this arrived just in time to cap off the evening! I raise my glass to ya!

    Funniest tweet I saw earlier was something about telling Gowdy that hair gel will run down your forehead after a certain number of hours. That man’s UGGGGGGGLY. And he’s never going to get any better looking. Ugh as in UGGGGGGGLY.

      I don’t know who those folks are but I’m not one of them. Sorry, but my bar is set a bit higher than this. HRC just did what a seasoned politician and trained lawyer could do well. Plus she has basically spent the entire year anticipating this hearing and preparing for it.

      Also, the facts were already on her side, and everyone knows that the GOP was on a witch hunt. What remains to be seen is what are her real (not stated) positions on the substantive issues that matter to people on a daily basis. And we will be learning about this over the next few months.

    "We as a society, particularly given our history, have to take this seriously. And one of the ways of avoiding the politics of this and losing the moment is everybody just stepping back for a second and understanding that the African American community is not just making this up, and it’s not just something being politicized; it’s real and there’s a history behind it. And we have to take it seriously." —President Obama on #BlackLivesMatter

      Although I once mistakenly rented the director’s cut of the second movie and I’m sure it was longer than 11 hours. The thing never ended. I kept falling asleep and waking up and they were still in the middle of a forest.

      Great tweet! Moreover, under Saint Ronald Reagan, the GOP Great, 244 Servicemen, mainly Marines, were murdered by terrorists in Beirut, Lebanon. I don’t remember Republicans being outraged about that loss of American lives. On top of that, Reagan cut and run from Lebanon, and the terrorists who murdered our servicemen were never brought to justice.

    You all know that HRC is not my favorite candidate…and I’ve missed all the hoopla regarding Benghazi…but I DO KNOW that Republicans hate her with the heat of 1,000 suns…which makes me kinda want her to be POTUS, just for that alone:) Make them fume and foam at the mouth for 4 more years….my best wish ever, would be to win House and Senate majorities on TOP of that…and watch them all melt down:) :) That’s where I am now…at the burn in hell stage.
