This great Nation will endure as it has endured, will revive and will prosper. So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
– Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1st Inaugural Address (March 4th, 1933)
I’ve got a number of pets.
Including several cats.
One of those felines is utterly fearless.
She came to me, that cat, as a castaway. Literally, cast away by some cowardly waste of humanity.
I found her at my back door on a -20F Alaskan winter morning, a tiny ball of fluff damned near frozen to death. Crying piteously, hungry, cold, and terrified.”
Once again, Jim Wright hits the nail squarely on the head! BRILLIANT READ. Funny & Insightful. Please share https://t.co/PEQr5zDG7o
why oh why would D’s feel the need to jump in to try to fix the GOP mess? All they are going to end up with is a bigger mess on our side for their troubles. I’m gonna need a tighter seatbelt and crash helmet for this election cycle.
Clearly time to boycott the so-called “liberal” media. I refuse to watch or listen to shows when they show, talk, or feature DT. We need to complain to the advertisers as well.
“President Obama used much of his remarks at the Capitol luncheon to ‘reject’ the violent scenes recently at Donald Trump’s political rallies. (Note: He did not call out Trump by name.) Obama warned ‘this is about the American brand,’ noting being open to those who are different has long been a defining U.S. value. ‘Why would we want to tarnish that?’ he asked.”
“”This Is For My Girls” will become available for download at midnight Tuesday night. The artists involved waived all royalties and fees to participate in the song and all proceeds will support the Peace Corps Let Girls Learn Fund.”

So True ….

Can’t get to the exact tweet I need: msnbc is reporting that in Dem strongholds, up to 50% are asking for GOP ballots.
Here’s one:
Thanks. I can’t believe this.
It’s really sickening.
My vote is sacred. I can’t imagine playing games with it. Can’t imagine ever voting for a Republican in ANY scenario, whatsoever. EVER.
why oh why would D’s feel the need to jump in to try to fix the GOP mess? All they are going to end up with is a bigger mess on our side for their troubles. I’m gonna need a tighter seatbelt and crash helmet for this election cycle.
Soooo stupid!
Does anyone think those Dems actually want Kasich for President? Could they hate Hillary and Bernie that much?

…that he would even say this out loud…SMH
GA swbluega.
Obvious that GOP nurture “candidates” who are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Makes “real Amuricans” feel smarter than the pols they vote for, which must be high on these voters’ reason for casting their votes. SMH.
GA JER.
WHPB specifically asked why PBO made these remarks today (link in tweet posted by Meta on previous thread):
“President Obama used much of his remarks at the Capitol luncheon to ‘reject’ the violent scenes recently at Donald Trump’s political rallies. (Note: He did not call out Trump by name.) Obama warned ‘this is about the American brand,’ noting being open to those who are different has long been a defining U.S. value. ‘Why would we want to tarnish that?’ he asked.”
Always innovative and creative:
“”This Is For My Girls” will become available for download at midnight Tuesday night. The artists involved waived all royalties and fees to participate in the song and all proceeds will support the Peace Corps Let Girls Learn Fund.”

Thanks meta 🙂
