Rustyeye77's JournalTrump and Obama Visited Europe. One Got a Warm Welcome.
The contrast could not have been more stark.
Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany started Thursday in Berlin with the 44th president the one she has called dear Barack. She spent the afternoon in Brussels with the 45th, Donald J. Trump, whose election she greeted with a stern reminder to respect shared values like equality and freedom.
Mr. Obama was in Berlin to help celebrate 500 years since Martin Luthers Reformation, and received a rock-star welcome from tens of thousands at the Brandenburg Gate. It was all bonhomie, waves and warm words, as the former president praised Ms. Merkels outstanding work, not just here but around the world, particularly with refugees.
Barely two hours later, Ms. Merkel was among the European leaders who greeted Mr. Trump coolly at NATO headquarters in Brussels, where few casual words, let alone warm ones, were exchanged, as the new American president once again castigated allies for not paying their fair share of bills.

Flame away...I don't want 45 impeached..not yet
It may be out of our hands with Mueller but I would love to keep this evil moron around until the midterms when there is an excellent chance of taking back the House.
It's risky keeping this monster around but it may be worth it.
So...I'm ready...Flame away.
Sooner or later , this has to end.

He lies.

He obstructs justice .
Yes high crime and endless misdemeanors.
Making The Case For 2020 Hillary Clinton
Okay, before I go any further, let me state unequivocally for the record that I believe Hillary Clinton ran one of the worst campaigns in modern political history. Her management was inept, her messaging misguided, and her character terribly flawed. Lets put this into proper perspective: she lost to Donald Trump, for fucks sake! A colossal joke of a candidate who by all accounts shouldve lost to a chair. As the saying goes, the election was Clintons to lose... and she lost it. So why on Earth would I want her to run again in 2020?
The answer is rather simple: I remain committed to the belief that Clinton would be an incredible president. And I believe she not only will run again, as her recent and outspoken re-launch onto the public stage indicates, but that she will also win. No, Im not crazy. I just believe that history repeats itself. And for that we simply need to look to Richard Nixon.
It was 1960. The first televised presidential debate. Nixon refused make-up. John F. Kennedy, well, he was JFK. The battle pitted the young, charismatic Democratic upstart with the movie-star looks against the nervous, sweaty, 5 oclock-shadowed, beady-eyed, prematurely-aged Republican. The rest is history. As is Nixons startling comeback eight years later to win not one but two presidential elections. Times change. Situations change. People change. Can Hillary? My moneys on yes.
Clinton is perhaps the most qualified candidate in history. A prestigious legal career, eight years as First Lady, another eight as U.S. Senator from New York and four years as Secretary of State. A die-hard progressive who voted 93 percent of the time with Sen. Bernie Sanders when both served together. And, shes a woman... and its fucking time America is led by a woman.

American Health Care Act- Choose Your Plan
How (the F**K) was Saudi Arabia Voted onto a UN Womens Panel?
On April 19, United Nations member states elected Saudi Arabia to serve on the UN Commission on the Status of Women, a body dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women.
But how does this repressive government deal with Saudi women who strive to achieve the commissions own stated goals?
Several days before the vote, Mariam al-Oteibi, 29, fled abusive family members in al-Qassim Province for Riyadh, only to be captured by authorities captured and jailed for having the temerity to dream of making her own life decisions. She currently sits in Buraida Prison back in al-Qassim.
Mariam chafed for years under the oppressive male guardianship system which forbids women from obtaining a passport, marrying, or traveling abroad without the approval of a male guardian, usually a husband, father, brother, or son. Authorities previously arrested Mariam briefly in November 2016, after she attempted to file an abuse claim against her brother, but her family pre-empted her and had her jailed on a counter disobedience complaint. Following a brief detention, authorities returned her to her family and the abuse continued.

I don't understand why there isn't outrage among progressives out there .
U. of Wisconsin student resolution blames Israel for police violence against African-Americans
The student government of the University of Wisconsin-Madison included an amendment specifically targeting Israel in a resolution calling for divestment from companies operating in many countries.
The resolution was passed Wednesday by the Associated Students of Madison by a 24-0 vote, with two abstentions. It calls on the university and its foundation to divest from companies involved in private prisons, arms manufacture, fossil fuels and border walls, and banks that oppress marginalized communities.
It also blames Israel for training U.S. police in tactics it says harm African-Americans.
The vote comes a month after a divestment resolution specifically targeting Israel failed to pass the student government and two weeks after the student government passed a proposal to create a new financial transparency and ethics subcommittee. The meeting was held April 12, the second day of Passover, when several Jewish representatives were absent.

" private prisons, arms manufacture, fossil fuels and border walls, and banks that oppress marginalized communities.
