By now you’ve probably watched a few hilarious rants from the “Stump For Trump” ladies. And even if you don’t agree with them on absolutely everything, they do make some good points and can give you a good laugh.
According to this, they were scheduled to go on MSNBC with Steve Kornacki. They dedicated around 4 hours preparing for their appearance, but MSNBC cancelled them at the last minute after they refused to give them their home address, the names of their children and the names of their employers.…

[Obama:] "…Kerry will travel to Havana formally to proudly raise the American flag over our embassy once more.”
I must disagree, there is nothing proud about having our American flag raised in a country that still has political prisoners. There is nothing proud about having the American flag flying over a country that is harboring Americans who have fled our nation and are guilty of crimes.…
…in the first Obamacare decision, John Roberts lectured us that it is NOT the duty of the Supreme Court to protect voters from the consequences of bad laws passed by their elected representatives. Yet in this week's Obamacare decision, John Roberts lectured us that it IS the duty of the Supreme Court to protect voters from the consequences of poorly-written laws passed by their elected representatives. The man is a model of consistency and clarity in his legal reasoning!

Satirists always need to "punch up"… [?? A great Grunt of Monte Cristo graphic]
CJ Pearson, the pre-teen super-awesome conservative kid who the Chicks have talked about and and talked to before, announced yesterday that he and a group of like-minded and highly motivated young people are putting together a HUGE nationwide election tour in summer 2016. Here's video of his announcement, what their goals are, and how you can help…
John Kerry summed up in two headlines [see link]
…[Freshman Arkansas Senator Tom] Cotton got 46 other senators to sign this letter in ink. “Because it was an open letter, it was not sent to Tehran but rather posted on Senator Cotton’s website and social-media accounts,” Caroline Rabbitt, Senator Cotton’s communications director, explained to me last week. Cotton & Co. never even dropped an envelope in the mail.
The fact that Cotton and his colleagues created a letter to nowhere seems to have escaped the loudest voices in this national conversation. …
[On CBS's Face the Nation] Bob Schieffer [who is a jerk]: Are you planning on contacting any of our other adversaries around the ‘country?’ For example, do you plan to check with the North Koreans to make sure that they know that any deal has to be approved by the Congress?
Senator Cotton [does not fall for it]: Bob, right now, I and most every senator is focused on Iran getting a nuclear weapon. That’s why it’s so important that we communicated this message straight to Iran because they’re not hearing from Geneva. And remember this is not a parliamentary democracy.
“I know that the absolute last damn thing in the world you want is to hear from another Irishman, particularly on the telephone,” Biden said, before launching into a yarn about the heroics of Irish immigrants.
“I just hope he wasn’t calling collect.” U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-S. Boston) commented from the stage. “Holy cow, that was painful.”
“Regardless of whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, sometimes you wonder what planet Joe Biden is on,” said GOP strategist Ford O’Connell.
Last night, DNC Chair Debbie McFrizz asked Twitter users to tell her what liberal policies have made them the most “proud.” … Naturally, conservatives trolled her hard. Because that’s what happens when you ask stupid, unanswerable questions, Debbie.
“They have a small, vocal, right-wing, somewhat strange minority they have over there [and it] shouldn’t be running the House of Representatives.”
"…It’s supposed to be cute and sweet. Michelle basically urges everyone to go on social media to give her five ways to be healthy. … But then Obama walks in, and things get weird. It’s reeeally awkward. …"

"In these videos several famous Black Conservatives tell why they left the Democrat Party and why they are Conservatives and Republicans"
"Twitter users offered Islamic State a little friendly travel advice, throwing its hashtag, #We_Are_Coming_O_Rome, in its face in the process."
"The State Department took to social media to ask us lowly peasants to 'share solutions' we think are 'critical to countering violent extremism.'" The Community responds appropriately.

…unlike other super PACs, the UP ["Unlocking Potential"] Project will not do battle on TV. Instead, the PAC will solely focus on the ground game, organizing and mobilizing grassroots networks, especially of women, that can help Republicans win the messaging battle woman-to-woman and neighbor-to-neighbor.
"We need to name and shame Democrats who play the 'war on women' game," Fiorina told Breitbart News. "Too often, Republicans have allowed the label to stick because of a misguided theory that by ignoring a charge it just goes away...We need to organize strong conservative activists, especially women, and energize them to take action on behalf of our conservative principles. Women make up half this country. The UP Project is no longer going to allow Democrats to pretend we are single-issue voters." [Video at link or http://youtu.be/CgZGRXG9Gto]

Stacey Dash’s arrival as a Fox News personality was predictably met with hate and vitriol… Dash is handling it with good humor and class though. "I think I have 'token' and 'clueless' trending today! Yea @twitter! Seriously, thank you all for well wishes."
More than half the people I asked, who thought the president could have done better, said “it wasn’t fair” that President Obama was not allowed to use his teleprompter in the debate. And while a handful of supporters did say teleprompters had no place in the debate, one thought it was not only unfair to President Obama but both candidates. [video]
