1. Governors cannot refuse admission of people to their state. Whatâs he going to do, build a wall and create a state customs department, not to mention… oh… the US Constitution?
2. All the Paris terrorists were European Nationals, and the Syrian passport was faked. I know that conservatives never allow facts to stop their xenophobia, but the Syrian refugees have nothing to do with this - but theyâre BROWN & not Christian, so… I guess Christian Hate⢠is now a virtue? Can someone point me to the chapter where Jesus said that?
3. The American disconnect between the largest body count in France since WWII - (129 at this point?), and our weekly mass shootings - boggles.
4. The conservatives want another war, boots on the ground, and to allow these refugees to die, all while making sure all the mentally deranged, off their meds people who should never be allowed anywhere near weapons of any kind, get as many guns as they can afford…. because…. freedom?
I am betting many of you have thought this, but havenât seen anyone ‘voiceâ it or put in print. The Râs know exactly what they are doing. They know their actions and words are counter productive and that ISIS uses to recruit. I believe they want, desperately want, us to be attacked on POâs watch. They are doing everything possible to make or encourage that. Am I crazy?
Yup. And fools such at @Fix and the rest of the US News Media help gin up Lies……and Correcting Facts are lacking.
Case in point:
Ebola in Oct/Nov 2014.
Central American Migrant Children in the Summer and Autumn of 2014.
The ISIL/Daesh Beheadings of Western Citizens in 2014.
TN, what they want more than anything is to produce enough terror and paranoia in Americans that they gain the White House and retain both houses of Congress. With that kind of power, they can divert the federal budget to their corporate owners, like the defense and fossil fuel industries, and privatize all government functions, including SS and Medicare. They would also be in a position to select the next Supreme Court justices so that they can guarantee conservative decisions for decades. If an attack on the US would secure this goal, thatâs a price “they” are more than willing to pay. This is about ginning up the electorate into fever pitch. For Republican strategists who were concerned about their weak presidential candidates, the Paris attacks were literally a Godsend. They care nothing about the country-itâs all about power.
Amen, Tally! Great, great, comment! These fake Christians stink to the high heavens. All the people clamoring for another war in the Middle East donât care how many young American service men we sacrifice in these war because their own children will not be affected.
^ Tally. Turned on the tv a few minutes ago, caught Ted Cruzâs butt hurt rant; HOW DARE POTUS criticize the teabaggers while on foreign soil. MoFo, please…
To cry baby, Ted Cruz: here is the most compelling question: HOW DARE GOP presidential candidates, U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, U.S. Governors and U.S. media attack, criticize, embarrass, and undermine a U.S. President while he is abroad meeting with foreign leaders? I am so proud that my President called out these cowards.
Just like 9/11 did not have a DAMN THING to do with Iraq….Paris bombing did not have a damn thing to do with Syrian refugees, but the Media and the GOP donât want facts….they want to scare Americans into guns, violence, hatred, and war for ratings = $$$$$
And of course, whenever you share a ‘goodieâ, I go peeking for a bit more. I like this one - I <3 how she's all caught up with 'rocking to the beat'. :):)
Isnât it sweet to see her rocking along? :):) My problem is that I canât bookmark everything I like. Well, I guess I could but it doesnât seem practical. ;)
Dudette, thanks for sharing this very precious and talented beautiful soul with us. She is such a beautiful musician. I love her rendition of Ave Marie. Bella2758, it surely would be great to have her play for the President and First Lady.
My heart is full. Thanks Dudette. (((((((((Dudette))))))))HZ
<3 HZ, my thoughts and feelings are that we are so blessed to believe we have some very old Souls walking among us, in very young bodies, and that is the true Hope for the future of life on this planet. Love to you, dear HZ. <3
Ben Carsonâs campaign made a U.S. map and put a bunch of states in the wrong place
November 18 at 11:10 AM
Happy Geography Awareness Week! Recognizing that “too many young Americans are unable to make effective decisions, understand geo-spatial issues, or even recognize their impacts as global citizens,” National Geographic created this annual observance to “raise awareness to this dangerous deficiency in American education.”
Ben Carsonâs presidential campaign inadvertently underscored this point Tuesday night, when it took to social media to share a map of the United States in which five New England states were placed in the wrong location. The campaign deleted the Twitter and Facebook posts Wednesday morning after media outlets and social media users pointed out the error.
They really canât get away with making up their own Gospel. Matt.25 and other passages are pretty clear. The judgment of a life is what we have done for the most vulnerable and the most in need.
They are together once again…..I had neighbors do the same thing. They were the cutest couple. They grew up in the same mid-west town and they both separately relocated to SoCal. They met again in their 40âs, got married, and were never apart. She had both knees operated on and he took care of her, then he got sick so she took care of him. He wound up in the hospital struggling to live for her until she told him it was ok, sheâll be fine if he wanted to go. He died and the next day she wound up in the same hospital and passed the next day. She could not and did not want to live without him.
My condolences to the Flutie family. 56 years is a long time to be with a mate and I have heard of this happening before - spouses died soon after the other.
Now you will see “brave” Americans scurrying under their beds, terrified of the big bad Syrians. I have several of these bed wetters in my own family and itâs not a pretty sight. All the macho posturing of the ‘tough guyâ R candidates right now is making them long for a big Daddy Republican president. It ‘s truly making me sick. President Obama was so right to call them on their cowardice. It hit home, which is why little Rafael Cruz is crying.
Apparently some Republican politicians have expressed concern that we should not admit Syrian refugees because⌠Wait for it⌠Itâs “too easy” for people to get guns in this country. Do they have any idea what comes out of their mouths when they open them? This leads pretty quickly to the position that only white Christians (and probably only those with gonads) should have guns â which Iâm guessing is what theyâre really going for, after all.
Jeez (excuse me)⌠Itâs just Sharia in a nice suit with a US flag lapel pin, isnât it?
The GOPâs disconnect and ignorance is mind boggling. Most of the guns on the planet are ones illegally exported from the US thanks to the NRA and the laws they pay the GOP to write. …. Methinks that needs to be a tweet.
Found these amazing art works on the FB site of the mission my daughter volunteers her service to down in Haiti. Always intrigued by all things Angelic!
http://www.mohhaiti.myshopify.com
MP, why, oh why did you share this link??? LOVE the angels — the large ones would make great centerpieces for my Christmas dinner (only 18 tables last year); the small ones would make great favors — each year I give an angel as the party favor. My budget for centerpieces AND favors is only $200.00; seems Iâm about $1100.00 short. Need to buy a lottery ticket…
Well, jazziz2, you understand so well WHY I had to share, because there are so many reasons!! I love Angels too, have already mentally simplified my Christmas this year, as imminent move is coming up, so currently have a quiet, empty stable, with a few small tools, set into a bookshelf I cleared. I have Angels in every room already, but they shall begin to make their way quietly to wait around the stable, and by the time my rust Angel arrives from Haiti, I expect I will have a Legion, seen, and unseen!! Maybe just buy one or two, small ones, because Mission of Hope is a very worthy cause. Good luck with your holiday plans, and May God Bless. Maybe the finances will show up. It can happen!! <3
I simplified Christmas back in 1980. I gave two family members, who were in need, $500 each; while they thanked me, later during dinner, they commented that it didnât seem like Christmas because there werenât gifts to unwrap! WTF? Mind you, I was a Sergeant in the Marine Corps, making less than $1000.00 a month — the gifts were MORE than 1/12 of my before tax salary! When I adopted my kids I gave them only a book, an educational game, an item of clothing, and some stock. To this day, I only give a book to kids and anyone else that Iâm going to gift. To family and community folks in need, I send a grocery store giftcard in a typed “Secret Angel” card. To my family at large, I give the gift of fellowship via my annual Saturday after Christmas dinner… I REFUSE to do commercial Christmas…
Iâve saved the link and will definitely buy a large and small for myself; however, should I hit the lottery…
I havenât listened to it yet, but I need to listen to the young girl with her violin, especially after watching only a few seconds of Elizabeth Hasselback insult and berate Josh Ernest. It was one of the most disgusting things I have ever heard. Had to stop. If anyone has the stomach for it, you can find it and share. Can truly ‘feelâ the hate coming through the computer.
LILâ Teddy haz a sad. He still hasnât gotten over the fact that he tried to shut down the government over the ACA in 2013…and failed miserably. Today the ACA is still alive - and THRIVING! Over 1M new enrollments in the first 2 weeks of open enrollment. And Lilâ Teddy cannot even beat nutjobs like Carson & Trump in the GOP Presidential clown show of a race! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
hells yeah! this hits refugees right where it hurts most: their desperate need for safety and housing! đşđ¸đşđ¸đşđ¸đşđ¸đşđ¸ https://t.co/8yFUvZHnH2
Hi!
Congrats Gail!!!!
Thanks babe!
Congrats Gail! Hey Tally!

You sure did….say, did the boss leave yet?
Congrats on your gold medal GGail!
OMG, I just scrolled up and saw this - my goodness gracious - thatâs a huge #1. Iâm humbled. Thank you Dudette and thank you also jojo :-)
đđđ
Congrat on #1.
Saw your comment on previous thread. Geez! I was just kidding. Sorry you were offended.
Congrats GGail!

As well as their doing it everyday since he was elected!
Great comments Tally and JackieG!
Tally, all of your points are excellent - thank you!

Repubs are freaking insane!.. and evil!
Yes, thank you President Obama. And thanks for using platforms that you know people are actively following to get your message out.
Thanks NW for posting his tweets :-)
:)
Ahhhhh, Dudette! How sweet of you to share this special young lady with us and for her to thank you is just wonderful <3
Hi GGail! Isnât she just precious? đ
I think she was thanking @playing4change for sharing her video. Iâm just happy to have seen it.
Thank you Dudette, what a beautiful soul, playing for peace.
Hey girl, well thank you for sharing too :-)
I hope you twitter people send her around the world - so many people can hear how lovely she plays
And of course, whenever you share a ‘goodieâ, I go peeking for a bit more. I like this one - I <3 how she's all caught up with 'rocking to the beat'. :) :)
I love!!! đđđ
Isnât it sweet to see her rocking along? :) :) My problem is that I canât bookmark everything I like. Well, I guess I could but it doesnât seem practical. ;)
Found myself swaying right along with her! đ
LORD…I LIFT YOUR NAME ON HIGH…………………BEAUTIFUL! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ALL OF THE WORLDâS CHILDREN EXPERIENCING THIS PEACE AND JOY!
Leah is really great. FLOTUS should invite her to the WH.
Dudette, thanks for sharing this very precious and talented beautiful soul with us. She is such a beautiful musician. I love her rendition of Ave Marie. Bella2758, it surely would be great to have her play for the President and First Lady.
My heart is full. Thanks Dudette. (((((((((Dudette))))))))HZ

This man and his team offer nothing but arrogance, ignorance and almost willful incompetence. Itâs like they revel in The Stupid. Ugh!
Perhaps that time he practiced operating on his own brain was not such a good idea? Have to wonder..
Tornado warning in south part of metro Atlanta now through 5:15pm
Yâall stay safe Dudette
Thanks G! Tornado warning lifted but severe thunderstorm cells with damaging winds and flooding still on the way.
Thank you so much Nerdy Wonka for posting the Presidentâs tweets. I am so glad we have a sane President in this increasingly insane world.
:)
But it doesnât go against the gospel of the racists make America white again Republicans.
Make American White Again Republicans = Make American WAR!
They really canât get away with making up their own Gospel. Matt.25 and other passages are pretty clear. The judgment of a life is what we have done for the most vulnerable and the most in need.
Preach Sister!
Good one, Tally?
That is so sad.
Aw so sad. He must be devastated. May they both rest in peace!
They are together once again…..I had neighbors do the same thing. They were the cutest couple. They grew up in the same mid-west town and they both separately relocated to SoCal.

Wow! Thatâs amazing! Itâs like that movie with James Garner and Gena Rowlands- name of it escapes me now. Tearjerking romance- 5 tissues easily.
The Notebook - and she had Alzheimers.
Yes!!! Thatâs it! Thanks Tally!
My condolences to the Flutie family. 56 years is a long time to be with a mate and I have heard of this happening before - spouses died soon after the other.
Congrats GGail on your Au :star:
Later TOD ;)
Thanks Nena :-)
Now you will see “brave” Americans scurrying under their beds, terrified of the big bad Syrians. I have several of these bed wetters in my own family and itâs not a pretty sight.

And we wonder why we canât keep guns out of the hands of teens and people with mental illness. This is truly criminal
holy crap!

Just ordered one large and one small — as I have a mind like a sieve, I didnât want to forget…
I am seeing too many folks from Utah, TN, KY, MO in Pasadena…hope itâs because of the milder weather and they go home in the summer.
Haha! Not a lot they can do when itâs weather but always worth a try…
I havenât listened to it yet, but I need to listen to the young girl with her violin, especially after watching only a few seconds of Elizabeth Hasselback insult and berate Josh Ernest.

BADASS!!! đ
Referenced tweet
I have been watching MSNBC for 15-20 minutes …they have played the DAESH propaganda message 3 times
make that 4 times
great! I was waiting for this
Absolutely so moving. If you havenât watched this video, please take a moment and listen to this man who lost his wife last Friday in Paris.
SUCCESS
This is what one does when one is running a losing campaign with no hope of the RWN nomination.
LILâ Teddy haz a sad. He still hasnât gotten over the fact that he tried to shut down the government over the ACA in 2013…and failed miserably. Today the ACA is still alive - and THRIVING!

he also has the palin syndrome => so desperately wanting PBO to acknowledge his existence, but he will never get it
Love it!
Good evening Nerdy, Chips & TOD! :) :)
each day, the republicans come up with a new group to attack => they have bottomless hate & bigotry
GE TODville.
In about 45 minutes….
So if you have any questions, tweet away, #RefugeesWelcome.
I was just about to post the same. Thanks Arapaho.
