That’s about it, amk!!

Thanks, Bob!
The so called Christian conservatives who hate immigrants/ refugees are the same who are quick to cite passages in Leviticus that supposedly justify the persecution of gay people. But here are two passages in Leviticus that they conveniently ignore:
Leviticus 19:33:
“When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall oppress the alien.”
Leviticus 19:34
“The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egupt….”
Ciao, amici!
Indeed. Thirsty senators!
The GOP have been saying ‘the stupid’ all day. Can’t believe that no-one interviewing them challenges their lies. Easy to talk BS when you don’t sit in the Oval office.
Oh AMK, this one wins the day for me. Thanks.
Or may be as Rep. Darrell Issa!

IIRC, Mitch Daniels (favored by MSM in 2012 for President) also shares a Syrian ancestry.
When did Donald Trump, who I understand is on his third (or is it fourth) marriage, become such a devout Christian?
Is this for real?
Mr. Pete Souza took this photo of the stamp while covering PBO in Turkey
looks real to me. They all wanna be him so bad. 🐻
We need to enhance coordination with reliable foreign intelligence, that is if the foreign intelligence is not flawed.
Thanks NW
Look at our President and First Lady – looking gooooood 😘
Love our President and First Lady.
🙂
very nice interview….enjoyed it..
We gotta change the meme, folks ….
It’s up to us ….
#DAESH is among the gravest threats MUSLIMS have ever faced and that is a fact given that way more MUSLIMS have been killed by #DAESH, to date, than any other religious group.
In changing the meme, we also must be laser focused on the source of #DAESH’s sustenance – SUNNI SALAFI STATES that harbor and enable patriarchal kleptocrats to finance the #DAESHBarbarians.
Yes WE Can
#Hope4ALL
Yet another comment kicked into the ditch by WP ….
Will just add ….
good night TOD ….
Our learned Dr Bobfr just a question why do must of the Kurds site spew so much hate for our President, he has rallied allies to attack Daesh and supports the Kurds, just don’t understand the hate and they tow the rightwing lies about POTUS, can you help me understand what’s their issue thanks
Not all Kurds do, okey. And, many in the leadership of the Peshmerga have a very high regard for President Obama.
As for the others, our support of Turkey is a grave, visceral, hate-inducing stimulus given the decade after decade after decade of Turkish repression, oppression, & outright genocide that they have suffered.
And that’s just the Left side of the clown car! 🙂
whoa. #mindmeld
whoa. 🙂
Thanks for posting this pictorial. Bright spots in an otherwise sad day.

The Liberal government in Canada has abandoned a legal challenge that sought to require women to remove their niqabs or face coverings during citizenship ceremonies.
The Conservative government lead by former Prime Minister Stephen Harper had asked Canada’s Supreme Court to hear an appeal of that ruling.
Debate over the niqab came to a head during the 2015 Canadian elections.
Mr Harper was accused of using the issue stir up fears against Muslims.
Newly elected Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau opposed the appeal during his campaign.
The official court application for the appeal has been discontinued, officials have said, according to the Canadian Press.

Preview preparations for the arrival of US President Barack Obama
Some US officials to meet with President Obama, arrived.
What child is this?
😀 😀 😀 😀
Michelle’s Mom got a kick out of the joke about Michelle living there with the most important person in the world, and the lady said what Oprah lives here. 🙂
President Obama arrives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OZxQPXQE-U
G’Night gentle folks – working for the next couple of days so have to try to sleep if possible. Have a good day tomorrow, everyone!

Goodnight, TODville. Tomorrow is another Obama day to behold!
was just sending a link to this site to some people, and the auto correct changed “theobamadiary.com” to “throbs adieu.com” sort of makes sense that way too!
LOL. 🙂
It’s Tuesday on the east coast now.
Here’s what this morning’s sunrise looked like in the Philippines. 🙂
For Bidenbots, he was in chilly Los Angeles today.
Google tells me that it’s Tuesday afternoon in Manila, so this is probably happening now.
“Obama will board the US-made Gregorio del Pilar shortly after arriving in the Philippine capital of Manila for annual trade talks with Asia-Pacific leaders… the frigate a symbolic choice as it was formerly a US Coast Guard cutter that was acquired by the Philippines in 2011.”
Yes, it is happening now.
I cannot imagine how he maintains this round-the-clock, round-the-world schedule– and keeps his mind so clear and sharp. Every time he speaks publicly, he looks and sounds very alert, engaged, and on top of whatever topic is raised. To continue on this important trip, while managing and monitoring all that’s occurring in France, Syria, and everywhere else–honestly, I’m just amazed.
Also, the expression on his face in the first photo of this thread is simply mesmerizing. Do not even think about messing with this man!
YOU NEVER MESS WITH THE ENERGIZER…………………………THEY WON’T BBE ABLE TO FOLLOW THIS PRESIDENT…THERE IIS JUST ONE…NO COPIES ON THE CONVEYER BELT!
SORRY FOR THE TYPOS…NOT ENUFF COFFEE YET……………………..
‘ Obama opened his Manila trip Tuesday with a visit to the BRP Gregorio del Pilar, which is known to many Filipinos for confronting two Chinese surveillance ships in 2012 near a disputed shoal in the Spratly island chain. The vessel is also a symbol of U.S. military support for the Philippines as it got its start in the U.S. Coast Guard before it was decommissioned in 2011 and transferred to the Southeast Asian nation. ‘
