I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
If you are a mean person and sent an evil and mean tweet to President Obama… in other words, if you are a Republican and tweeted your unfounded frustrations at the president, then chances are you got your tweet read… by the president himself!
In an appearance Comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s NBC show, the president followed in the footsteps of many other Kimmel guests and read mean and nasty tweets about himself.
And you thought your evilness went nowhere.
Watch.
If you haven’t signed the petition yet, well here’s your chance. The petition is here, just click on this link.
The petition is accusing the 47 Republicans who sent a letter to Iran, with treason.
The petition, created on Monday, accuses these Republicans of violating the Logan Act (which, if you’ve been following the news at all this week, you’ve heard about at least once). The Logan Act forbids unauthorized American citizens from “carr[ying] on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof.”
The petition reads, “This is a clear violation of federal law. In attempting to undermine our own nation, these 47 senators have committed treason.”
Imagine my the surprise when it was confirmed today that the rumors about a Frozen 2 coming soom, is indeed true! The official tweet came from Disney.

You just can’t keep this racist out of the lime-light. Just days after attacking President Obama for “not loving America,” the former mayor of New York went home to Fox News and this time, attacked a 17-year-old dead black teenager named, Mike Brown.
Of course Mike is not around to defend himself and we will never get his side of the story, but that is not necessary for the likes of Rudy Giuliani who repeated the talking points of Officer Darren Wilson, the man who killed Mike Brown. And although it is a known fact that Darren Wilson did not have any information about Brown robbing a convenience store, Giuliani used this insignificant detail to justify killing the teenager.
“A man committed a robbery, attempted to assault a police officer, and the police officer, to save his life, shot him,” Giuliani told Fox News on Thursday. “The police officer did his duty. The police officer should be commended for what he did. He did exactly what you should do.”

Rodner Figueroa, the host of “El Gordo Y la Flaca,” said in Spanish, “You know Michelle Obama looks like she is of the cast of “The Planet Of The Apes” as he pointed to a photo of Obama. Figueroa made the comment in a segment about makeup artist Paolo Ballesteros.
Figueroa was quickly fired in response, according to NBC News.

The St. Louis County Police Department confirmed that one of its officers, as well as an officer from Webster Groves, sustained serious but non-life threatening injuries in the shooting. The shooting occurred just after midnight.
The St. Louis County officer, 41, was shot in the shoulder, police said. The Webster Groves officer, 32, was shot in the face.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the officers were hit by gunfire outside the Ferguson Police Department, where they were confronting protesters who were blocking roads and sidewalks.
He was naked and obviously unarmed. But Anthony Hill, a 27 year old black man in Georgia is dead, killed by a police officer who felt threatened and wanted to go home to his family.
According to reports, DeKalb County police officer and resident white man, Robert Olsen, shot and killed Hill on Monday when he responded to a call of a naked man crawling around and knocking on doors in a residential complex. The scared officer said Hill ran towards him and refused to stop until the bullet was introduced into the equation.
Hill had served more than four years in the U.S. Air Force when he was medically discharged a few years ago, his girlfriend, Bridget Anderson, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Wednesday. He was being treated by a VA doctor for bipolar disorder but stopped taking the medication a week or two ago because he didn’t like the side effects, including stiffening in his jaw, she said.
Anderson, 22, said she didn’t notice any changes in Hill after he stopped taking his medication and she’d never known him to behave strangely.
Anderson had been planning to go to Hill’s place Monday evening to cook together and celebrate their three-year anniversary. Instead, she got a call that he had been shot dead by police.
“My heart just tore out of my chest,” she said. “I started screaming his name and saying it couldn’t be true that he was gone.”
Demonstrators remembered Hill as a talented musician who loved the color purple and struggled with mental illness. They marched through the streets for about an hour chanting, singing and occasionally stopping at intersections to sit down and listen to a speaker while police cars blocked traffic.
As if they didn’t know this was a bad idea. Well, we are talking about Republicans here – a group that has been on the wrong side of all popular issues since Obama took office – so maybe they absolutely thought this was the right thing to do. In any case, and rightly so, the rest of the nation is coming down on these 47 Senate Republicans who signed this letter and thus, decided that they should have more say in international policies than the President.
Rachel Maddow highlighted some of the national pushback, including editorials from districts where some of these senators serve. And now, Maddow!
Grammy-nominated R&B artist Angie Stone and her daughter Diamond Stone were arrested in their Atlanta home on domestic abuse charges.
According to police report, Angie’s account of the events claim that after repeatedly getting punched in the face by her daughter, Angie took a metal stand and threw it at her daughter striking her in the face and knocking out two of her teeth. Stone, according to the report, said she was unaware that the piece of metal actually hit her daughter.
Once she realized this, Stone “quickly put the stand down and attempted to get away from Ms. Diamond Stone. Ms. Angie Stone then stated while she tried to get away, Ms. Diamond Stone continued to come after her as if to strike her again but stated that Ms. Blondy Chisolm came to break up the fight.”
Stone, who was arrested in Lithonia, GA on Monday, was charged with aggravated battery. According to court documents, the fight errupted after an argument over Stone’s grand children. Stone is currently being held in Dekalb County jail. Her daughter was released without any charges.
So, yesterday a bunch of Republicans decided to do whatever they could to torpedo active nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran. You see, the United States is trying to stop Iran from producing a nuclear weapon and so far, the negotiations are succeeding. But that success is something the Republicans can’t stand and they are going above and beyond to make sure those negations fail.
Today, it’s Ted Cruz’s turn to try and scare Iran into leaving the negotiation table. He appeared before a presidential forum sponsored by the International Association of Firefighters, and said this:
“If we do not see real leadership in Washington to stand up and defend this country , to acknowledge radical Islamic terror for what it is, and to defeat ISIS and stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, we are risking yet another horrible tragedy here at home that could well entail the men and women in this room once again running into a scene of heartbreaking devastation that could have and should have, been prevented.”
After mentioning the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979, he reminded the room of “the costs, the ravages of radical Islamic terrorism, whether it’s the Boston bombing,” the Fort Hood shooting or “the horror of 9/11.”
“I believe a deal right now this administration is negotiating will only accelerate Iran’s acquiring of a nuclear weapon,” Cruz said.
“Even noted impressionist painter George W. Bush and his wife and muse Laura were there,” said Larry Wilmore, the Emmy Award-winning producer, actor, comedian, writer and host. “That’s what made this so special.”
He continued; “Mitch McConnell and John, look—I get you don’t support Obama, but you could’ve at least showed up to support John Lewis. Your party stood with him in 1965, so shame on you for not supporting him in 2015,” he said.
Of the hundreds of Republicans in Congress, only one Republican Congressional leader attended the 50th anniversary to acknowledge one of the most important event in this nation’s history – ‘Bloody Sunday’ in Selma Alabama, where protesters were beaten because they demanded equal voting rights. Bloody Sunday led to the enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Congressional Republicans are tired of blocking domestic policies. They are now openly engaging in foreign and international obstruction of the President’s policies, and they don’t care who sees their obvious and sickening hate for this president.
Republican U.S. senators warned Iran’s leaders on Monday that any nuclear deal with President Barack Obama could last only as long as he remains in office, an unusual partisan intervention in foreign policy that could undermine delicate international talks with Tehran.
The open letter was signed by 47 senators, all but seven of the Republicans in the Senate, and none of Obama’s fellow Democrats, who called it a “stunt.” Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif dismissed it as a “propaganda ploy” from pressure groups he called afraid of diplomatic agreement.
In the letter, the senators said Congress plays a role in ratifying international agreements. Noting Obama will leave office in January 2017, they said any deal not approved by Congress would be merely “an executive agreement” that could be revoked by Congress.
The White House said the letter was a partisan effort to undermine Obama’s foreign policy by lawmakers who oppose a deal. “Congressional Republicans are ready to fast-forward to the military approach before the diplomatic approach has been given the opportunity to succeed,” spokesman Josh Earnest said.
A Western diplomat said the action was “without precedent.” “It’s 100 percent an American issue, but obviously it could become a real problem,” the diplomat said.
Iran’s Zarif blasted the Republicans. “I wish to enlighten the authors that if the next administration revokes any agreement ‘with the stroke of a pen’ … it will have simply committed a blatant violation of international law,” he said in a statement.
