Congrats Don
Congrats Don!!!
bbl ….
#TrustBarack
That made me tear up!
Afternoon all.
Good afternoon Chips and TOD. Wonderful previous post and this West Wing week is hilarious. What a great day.
Unlike Bibi the Iranians are willing to work for change. How long have the Israelis and Palestinians waited? How many presidents have tried to broker peace? Kudos to PBO, John Kerry for their effort.
Israel does not want peace….never had in my opinion. They want to go on killing Palestinians just like America wants to go on killing AA’s, women, gays, any group they can manipulate the country to hate.
Some truly want peace. PBO leads the way. I always hope others will follow.
this!!!!!
Boooo hooooo….I think Knoller is gonna cry because PBO would rather announce progress on a peaceful deal with Iran than to disappoint the MSM in giving them something to complain about……booo hooo hoo
About 3.5 hours late?
Says who, Von Count?
Compared to what other POTUS?
This guy can be truly an idiot.
I had to laugh with the “The translator in fact has a nice voice” part. So important to have a nice voice. Ha!
GA LL, happy Good Friday and Easter to you and your family.
Al Shabbab and Daesh are both such vile entities, cannot believe how one human could even contemplate what they’ve done, let alone actually execute such atrocities.
I just got back home and will be gone again shortly. I wanted to thank everyone for the Birthday Wishes! If I knew how to put cool graphics on here there would be huge THANK YOU!
Oh, Happy Birthday! Missed the earlier wishes, and glad to see this!
Happy Birthday Queen Sabreen! :) Didn’t realize it was, but glad I know now. Hope your day is going splendidly so far!
Happy, Happy Birthday to you, Sabreen ;)
Sabreen-missed it all, but hope you’re having a glorious birthday, which includes a lot of fun.
Happy Birthday Sabreen60. You have a great day and enjoy it. (((hugs)))
Belated Birthday wishes from the other side of the world Sabreen - party on!
Sabreen I missed the fact that it’s your birthday. Happy Birthday! I hope you had an excellent day.
President Obama’s statement had impeccable logic and powerful talking points in advocating for this peace deal. We can all use them.
THIS!! I have no words to add to your words other than to say I love him so.
Yes, I too thought it was very powerful and compelling.
Bill, I just finished listening to PBO’s speech and he made it very clear and said in no uncertain terms, to Congress, that the whole world is watching
I actually watch Shahs of Sunset (guilty pleasure) and found this hysterical, although I won’t R/T it out of respect for John Kerry.

Thanks, JER!
I’m running to keep up! Thanks JER :-)
Only the interest of the warmongering RWNJ’s and their Presidential candidates, House of Representatives, Senators and their money interests like Big Oil, Kochs, Adelson, and Military Industrial Complex.
So true.
Booom! love this one. the MSM has really let their true colors show. when its easier to reach an agreement/comprimise with IRAN, than it is with fellow americans aka GOP (barely american, IMO) then you know the GOP has gone WAY over the deep end.
Totally!!!
Don has the Gold :star: Yes!
Thank you for letting me win the gold, Nena, these days Chips let her running buddies claim first place.
Ahem…let me say now for the world to see - CONGRATS Don on First!
This about the comments Cotton made today on LGBTQ and Iran.
“Is” about
I’m totally starting to like this young lady.
I’m just astonished, stunned, thrilled that this deal is so detailed and effectively what is likely the very best outcome. WOW!! This is a great triumph for all involved. And PBO gave a truly magnificent and thoroughly reasoned explanation of it for Americans and Iranians and the world. I am so proud of him and his team. BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO
The stunned silence is deafening.
Cardin has been given the FRC assignment over Barbara Boxer.
I thought this guy was an AIPAC guy?
Well that’s a damn shame, meta. Boxer would have been infinitely better.
He’s my Senator but another Bibi apologist IMO. He is going to get a boatload from me if he does anything to mess with this deal.
Bad news
It’s on days like this that the true tragedy of the November elections hits home. This Republican led Congress will act out of ignorance, spite and partisan politics to put the security of our country at risk for the sake of their own twisted ideology. Their first question will be, “How can we undermine the President?, not What’s best for the US?” That’s why I encourage all of us to get organized and begin a systematic and relentless campaign to let our so-called representatives and senators know that we support an Iran agreement. The word has to go out to keep calling, writing, e-mailing, faxing on this issue every day, if not several times a day. If we get mealy-mouthed answers from members of Congress, we have to tell them that’s not acceptable and we have to be the mouthpiece for our President every day. The President and SOS Kerry have done everything they could and they’ll continue to provide Congress with facts. But they need us to do the pushing.
So so true !!
What a beautiful man, inside and out!
OH, MY!! Handsome & victorious president is handsome & victorious!!
DAMN!!!!! JER - whooowheeeee, this pic makes me weak in the knees - DAMN
GGail, take another look. :D
You’re so cruel JER :D :D
Lawdy, I’ve got to go home and lie down
And look at his jaw (fanning myself)
hahahahahahahahaa
Damn!!!!
Yes Lord he done dropped the mic and is on his way to do it again.
Well, JOB, they could have had him with the good stiff drink, so they were out the 30 pieces of silver for nothing.
LOL!!!! JG :D
Agree. I just threw that in there to get him thinking. Not that he has a brain or soul.
GA Forus,
I wonder if you could find that video you posted around the time that Rouhani and PBO spoke for the first time — such compelling footage of the people and places in Iran, both Tehran and other parts of that ancient society. Know that Jeff would appreciate it too.
The coverage of these negotiations by MSM has been shameful — definitively spouting speculation as if it were fact.
Someone mentioned yesterday that we should tread carefully if trolling the pizza company…they may have been right.
I hope they go buy a clue …..
And how much of that will actually reach her hands
Yep and at last update it was over $225,000.00. I bet that pizza joint doesn’t profit that much all year. :mad:
People making these contributions might as well wear an “I am a bigot” tee shirt. If this is the way their so-called faith leads them, they are following the wrong light because this one doesn’t shine in any darkness. It is the darkness.
Agree, but we know this playbook by now. When Chic-fil-a made those controversial remarks about same-sex marriage the right flocked to their restaurants in droves. So this was inevitable. It’s their pattern…support the hate.
So true Donna
I figured that would happen and said as much. par the course for this nonsense but whatever
yup
So fools are giving away more of their money - much won’t end up where it is supposedly going - like folks who contribute to various RW PACs - all they do is pay for the life style of the PAC owner
Just for laughs:
We made the right choice in 2008 as we all knew. If you don’t agree to meet with those you disagree with, you are a lousy leader. As Shakespeare so wisely observed, “nothing can come of nothing.”
In her defense (which I don’t make a habit of lol) she was distinguishing between the president meeting/speaking with the leaders of those countries versus US diplomats engaging in diplomacy. Yes, on diplomats, no on her personally speaking to them. I think POTUS answered that question in a more general term of the “US” speaking to those countries, not specific to him speaking to those leaders.
Listening to her reply - she is simply having an each way bet - what PBO has always shown is the courage to have convictions - to go forward with what he thinks is right - he doesn’t wait to see “which way the wind is blowing” - which seems to be the intent of Hillary’s reply.
THIS !!!
I was hoping someone would remind the world about HRC and her Iranian stance.
She called Sen. obama “naive.” hahahahahahahahaha
Thank you for this, meta.
Good…. I am glad they are still rejecting it because this so called ” Fix ” is not a fix…..
Sec Moniz released an excellent lengthy statement of support.
Fingers crossed for a positive jobs report tomorrow to top off an already great week. :)
OMG I have been at a stupid conference all day and just got the news. Thank you President Obama and Secretary Kerry. What a team!!!
Remember when the Wasilla Hillbilly asked snarkly how that ‘hope and changey thing is workin for ya?” well today is yet another day we can answer her “pretty damn well, thank you very much”.
THIS
I remember that, as though it were yesterday.
Oh, meta, you made me laugh and cry. I could be this guy/gal’s mom because I loved Bobby Kennedy and saw him in PBO from the beginning. I’ll bet RFK -wherever he is-is all smiles today at what our President achieved.
I had the same reaction. Just WOW
That’s what I wanted to see. Dancing in the Street! Just like we Americans should be doing, after every successful thing President Obama’s involved in! #HopeItLasts
In such a short time, PBO has appeared on live TV in Cuba and Iran — the first time either country has ever aired a speech by the President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief of the USA military.
Yet the MSM continue to play the role of bloodthirsty, warmongering Debbie Downer.
Note.
My comment about the “first time POTUS on live TV” in Cuba/Iran is a presumption on my part. It’s possible that a POTUS speech was aired during the last Shah’s tenure, but he’s been out of office for almost 40 years, so it’s still a BFD ignored by our shameful MSM.
O.M.G…. gag me with a spoon.
GG blocked me ages ago, but I can see his tweets when someone else RTs:
What confusion and anger? He’s always been a Republican no matter what he calls himself.
The only ones who’ll be confused and angry are the dupes who think he’s a stand-up activist for liberal causes.
Oops, meant to respond on the GG tweet above!
Honestly, some folks are idiots.
$217K and counting for HateAche?
No LGBTQ getting married would order Pizza from IN Pizza Joint. Not Happening, period. But a fool and his/her money is sheepishly donating hard earned $$$$$ for Pure unabashed Hatred.
no matter how much they get in this one shot, it won’t be enough to supplement a business for longer than a year or two. so…whatever.
but it was obvious this would happen which is why folks should have just ignored these idiots.
I like to see fools parted with their money - and most of it - probably won’t go to the gay wedding hater.
CHESS
Oh, meta, can you imagine the president explaining a “layered, phased, deal, over multiple time frames”to any of the Republican numnuts in the House or Senate and having them ‘get it.’ The looks of incomprehension would be priceless.
Judging by the premature and purely idiotic statements they’re releasing now, you are absolutely right.
A major major problem with the US congress - some serious DUMB in the GOP ranks. Two things that amaze
1. That they get nominated by their party in a primary
2. That people vote for them
Sighs. That rain looks delicious.
So Christie can appoint a rwnj to replace him ? I don’t think that is a good idea….
how different would be the outcome if a Repub replaced Menendez? What has Menendez done that is worthwhile and not republican lite?
Menendez on domestic policies is actually a very strong Democrat. He was the sponsor of the immigration bill that was passed in the Senate.
hahahahahahahahahaha
I MISSED ALOT OF THINGS WHILE I WAS GONE TODAY…AM VERY SAD OVER KENYA AT THIS POINT. WHAT TIME DOES THE PRESIDENT SPEAK…I JUST GOT HOME.
Hi Sue, PBO has been rescheduled for 5:50 EDT - ish.
THANK YOU CHIPS…BLESS YOU!

A Truly beautiful 2.5yrs old with all her medical challenges……see what she can do……Music is truly a joyous Gift. Rock on Little Nathaly
jackieg, Don’t know if you will see this. Thank you for your comment about the GOP playing partisan politics with this deal and mentioning that we should be “on it” if any of them do. Sooooo, I decided before their offices closed for the day, I would call Corker and Alexander and “put them on notice” TODAY. Did it and feel so good!!! Yea me. :) :) Seriously, thanks jackie, for the suggestion. I say let’s get a ‘jump’ on them.
Good for you, Tn. We all need to get on it and let them know we’re paying attention and aren’t going to take any nonsense.

THANKS JER…:)…I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND SOMEONE TOLD ME 70 WERE KILLED IN KENYA…:(…HAVE TO CHECK ON THAT YET…THIS MAKES FOR A VERY ROUGH DAY!
But Sue, your energizer President & SoS have accomplished quite a bit - that should bring a smile to you :-)
I couldn’t resist this one:
What a day. Totally thrilled for not only the reduction of security risk, but also for the Iranian people. While their government does horrible things, the people of Iran want to move forward! PBO and Kerry, what a team!
I THINK IT IS WONDERFUL…I JUST HAVE THE LOSSES IN KENYA ON THE BRAIN..:(
And thank God PBO has the right people where he needs them!
GLAD TO HEAR THEY HAVE NUMEROUS SS EVERYWHERE IN THESE TERRITORIES…I WAS DOWN IN KKK TERRITORY MYSELF TODAY…ALWAYS SO JOYFUL IN INDIANA…:(
and the death eaters have a sad…
