Why haven't we see headlines like:
"Trump Thugs beat protester Donald called 'obnoxious'."
Maybe Trump wanted to emulate Melissa Click.

The nuclear treaty was hammered out with our allies and Russia and the Iranians. If the Senate doesn't ratify it, like the the League of Nations one, do you think it would be a good thing? How about the TPP, trade deal, will the Senate ratify that like they did NAFTA so we can send the rest of our jobs overseas?
As far as I can tell, Obama hasn't made the Senate completely irrelevant. However the Republicans have made Congress impotent by not addressing any real issues facing our country. All they seem to have done for the last four years or so is piss and moan about how bad he is at leading, but haven't offered any leadership themselves.
If you want to bitch about Obama why not raise holy hell about his drone strikes killing Americans and others on the hunch that they are about to decide to maybe do something? Or his continuing the Bush surveillance program with out warrents? Or his not sacking the Defense Secty, because he has not released the Gitmo prisoners that have been cleared or the ones that have had no charges brought against them?
You're not complaining about his actual faults only repeating the propaganda that the FOX and Limbaugh talking heads spout. Get real Box. Obama has faults address them.
I wish this happened to the Black Lives Matter thugs who interrupted a speech by Bernie Sanders. Colored people need to remember how to grin and shuffle.
Obama and the Democrats controlled Congress during 2009 and 2010. They passed ObamaCare, nothing else.
Nothing in this world is going to change until we all start thinking of each other as people and not as colors or religions. Don't just blame one side. All sides are responsible for perpetuating racism. Think about how you think and to what you respond. When you're out in public, think about the thoughts that automatically come to your head when you interact with others. What are your thoughts? What are your expectations about that person? what little story do you write in your head when you encounter these people? What is your true perception of yourself?
Truth is what is needed. You can't legislate truths. Truths are what are. Stop talking about rich and poor, black and white, Christian, Jew, or Muslim, and so many other labels. Be concerned with your own well being. Use what ever resources you have, meager or voluminous, and be concerned with raising yourself up and contributing positively to the whole of humanity. Don't worry so much about what the other person is doing or what he or she has attained through his or her own strength of will. Unless, of course, you can help that person. Be creative. If we must love our neighbors as we love ourselves, we need to start loving ourselves so that we can love our neighbors.
We are Humans. We are One!!!
