Rest in Peace, Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu

December 21, 2014

Unfortunatley it's just showing that these police don't care anything about justice and are willing

to maliciously blame others for the deaths of Officer Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu. And, yes they are trying to incite with their disingenuous bullshit.

I do not condone the killing of the two NYPD officers today. I do not condone the killing of unarmed black people. I do not condone killing.

If any of these idiot jackasses actually cared about the cops, they'd get behind taking some of these 400 million guns off the streets.

"American conservatives have an embarrassing crush on.." putin? He hasn't seen DU's PCS..Putin's

Crush Squad! Ghoulianni and DU's PCS

Man of the year in Russia.. 15 years running..

From your link, n2doc.. mahalo

"It’s quite a comedown for Mr. Putin. And his swaggering strongman act helped set the stage for the disaster. A more open, accountable regime — one that wouldn’t have impressed Mr. Giuliani so much — would have been less corrupt, would probably have run up less debt, and would have been better placed to ride out falling oil prices. Macho posturing, it turns out, makes for bad economies."

And, they will continue to blame him because it's so easy for them to type it and not have

any proof to back it up. Just continue the lie because they can. Place the blame on those whose fault it really is? NEVER.

"The president was correct. Members of Congress who voted for the restrictions on detainee transfer are violating the separation of powers. Some on the left continue to blame President Obama for not closing GITMO, but their blame is misplaced. (No, vetoing the bill is not an option. Congress would easily override an Obama veto of the NDAA.) Congress has refused to fund the closure, and blocked the transfer of detainees. Obama lived up to his end of the bargain. If progressives want to place blame somewhere, they should begin with some of the same people that they are trying to draft to run for president in 2016."

From your link..

The major problem is that the majority of Senate Democrats continue to cave the 9/11 style politics of fear by voting to restrict the president from closing the facility. Only four members of the Democratic caucus voted against the 2015 NDAA. Democrats Jeff Merkley, Ron Wyden, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Independent Bernie Sanders voted against the bill. Progressive darling Elizabeth Warren voted for the bill, so did Al Franken.

From your link, oberliner.. mahalo

"Besides their sexual orientation, what Tori Johnson, Oliver Sipple, Mark Bingham and Mychal Judge had in common is that they were heroes, but not by design. Fundamentally they were good men thrust into horrific circumstances who acted in a way consistent with their own moral character. Heroes are good people facing unusual circumstances and remaining true to character."

I am in tears at the bravery of all these men.

Thank you, Mika.. Bam!

"As a result of a dialogue at the highest level, which included a phone conversation I had yesterday with President Obama, we have been able to make headway in the solution of some topics of mutual interest for both nations."
