1. The addition of

"Do you like us Y N" is perfect- it illustrates what mental age these turds are.

9. They don't know what they're doing

the more idiotic and stupid stuff they do, the more we love and respect our President, me, anyway, but I think some of you feel the same way.

I bet rest of the world feels the same as us and probably wonders how these people got elected. In some of the countries negotiating in Geneva, these letter writers would be jailed.

Those idiots, I am letting them go for now. They have no power to anger me at this moment. This weekend, this President and John Lewis and all, stole my heart. I cried this weekend for 50 years of truth. I won't let them take that from me.

13. 47 is becoming a popular and significant number

A number used by Romeny that ended any chance of him becoming President.

47 Senators that shouldn't serve an additional day in the US Senate because they are traitors.

34. Shut up and Take My MOney.. okay, if you put it that way.. Rofl!

37. Republican voters are like 'They took my money

Dear Iran doods,
Ever try to act like boss man.
But it doesn't work good?
Thats what we did.
Kindly disregard our prevyous letter.

P.S. Send us some kool scarfs!

[Cha]

35. That's their stupid mea culpa, eh? We should be so lucky the 47 were that smart!

lovemydog!

[lovemydog]

38. Oh, you're right. They're not self-aware enough

to write a mea culpa. Okay, let's try another draft.

Dear Iran,
Screw you man.
You suck.
So does our President.
He should move there.
Where it sucks.
Singed,
The 47
P.S. When an Ayatolah gets lunch does he order a ham & cheese on ryeatolah?

42. LOL.. very Good, lovemydog.. the possiblities are infinite! Now I'm hungry and I'm vegan..

Excellent little ditty by the 47

[lovemydog]

47. Yeah, we're amusing ourselves.

Now I'm hungry too. Gonna go get some guacamole & chips & salsa.

[Cha]

48. Yum.. soul food!

[herding cats]

29. We should be so angry by this we can't see straight right now.

This isn't some tactic being deployed by those in our own party to push an agenda we don't by and large agree with. This is the reality of our opposition today. This is the mindset of those we are up against!

For what it's worth, I'm freaking livid right now. I know who my enemy is and my boots/vocal chords/volunteer time are mobilizing to end this BS once and for all. I'm fed the fuck up with these people having so much power in my country!

Oh, and thanks for the post, Cha! I laughed.

[Cha]

36. Righteous Rant, herding cats.. So many of us are feeling this way.. that's why I wanted to

insert a little levity.. But, it wouldn't be so funny if it didn't ring so true.

[herding cats]

41. I needed the levity, thank you again.

I'm wound up tighter than a ball of rubber bands tonight.

I feel like it's 9:01PM 1871 in Chicago on DeKoven Street and I'm screaming fire at the top of my lungs, and everyone is just going, "yeah, but the city could be better after it's been cleansed by fire."

[Cha]

45. The misguided, condescending letter from Republican senators to Iran

snip//

It starts with the patronizing premise that "you may not fully understand our Constitutional system" and goes on to explain, first, that any international treaty will need to be ratified by a two-thirds vote in both chambers of Congress and that, unlike the president of the United States, senators "may serve an unlimited number of 6-year terms." The message to the mullahs: don't get comfortable with any deal, because we're going to scrap it as soon as we can.

On the Lawfare blog, Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith describes the letter as "embarrassing," because it's technically wrong:

The letter states that “the Senate must ratify [a treaty] by a two-thirds vote.” But as the Senate’s own web page makes clear: “The Senate does not ratify treaties. Instead, the Senate takes up a resolution of ratification, by which the Senate formally gives its advice and consent, empowering the president to proceed with ratification” (my emphasis). Or, as this outstanding 2001 CRS Report on the Senate’s role in treaty-making states (at 117): “It is the President who negotiates and ultimately ratifies treaties for the United States, but only if the Senate in the intervening period gives its advice and consent.” Ratification is the formal act of the nation’s consent to be bound by the treaty on the international plane. Senate consent is a necessary but not sufficient condition of treaty ratification for the United States. As the CRS Report notes: “When a treaty to which the Senate has advised and consented … is returned to the President,” he may “simply decide not to ratify the treaty.”

Dan Drezner, writing for Post Everything, adds that the letter may "paradoxically help Obama" by persuading Iran's leaders to hatch a successful bargain now with the United States rather than further down the road after Obama has departed. Some argue that a deal pushed through by the White House will not be that easy to overturn later, especially if it appears to be working.

MOre..

74. F******* LIARS.

Even Republicans Admit Their Colleagues Were Stupid To Send Letter To Iran

As 47 Republican Senators have taken the plunge to be treasonous obstructionists, some on the right are just now realizing the magnitude of this mistake, and they are not happy.

Only seven Republicans abstained from the letter, including Bob Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Corker told The Daily Beast that a letter was not the way to go nor was is appropriate:

“I didn’t think it was going to further our efforts to get to a place where Congress would play the appropriate role that it should on Iran. I did not think that the letter was something that was going to help get us to an outcome that we’re all seeking, and that is Congress playing that appropriate role. I immediately knew that it was not something that, for me anyway, in my particular role, was going to be constructive. “I didn’t realize until this weekend that it had the kind of momentum that it had.”

Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, who is also a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that the letter would further cause more “animosity” between Congress and the White House and that the issue of Iran was “too important to divide us among partisan lines.” Senator Flake also pointed out that what President Obama is negotiating is an agreement, not a treaty, and also sided with Corker in the assertion that the letter was inappropriate, saying:

MOre.. really interesting!

83. About The GOP’s #47Traitors Letter To Iran…It Was All A Joke

-snip-

Subsequent to the letter’s publication, the Republicans associated with it have been pilloried for their both their ignorance of international diplomacy and their Constitutional role in negotiating inter-state agreements. Some in the GOP are already distancing themselves from the embarrassing letter, including Sen. Bob Corker, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. But the most peculiar response came from some unnamed GOP aides who are now trying to characterize the whole affair as a joke. Daily Beast reports that…

“Republican aides were taken aback by the response to what what they thought was a lighthearted attempt to signal to Iran and the public that Congress should have a role in the ongoing nuclear discussions. Two GOP aides separately described their letter as a ‘cheeky’ reminder of the congressional branch’s prerogatives.

‘The administration has no sense of humor when it comes to how weakly they have been handling these negotiations,’ said a top GOP Senate aide.”

Lighthearted? Cheeky? Someone is going to have to explain the punch line in this to me because writing to Iran’s leaders to inform that they cannot trust the President of the United States hardly seems like comedy or even playful banter. What’s more, the suggestion that the President has no sense of humor is puzzling. Do they think that the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran is something that Obama should be joking about? Is their assertion that he is handling these negotiations weakly a laughing matter?

The truth is that if Obama were to have injected humor into this situation in even the smallest way, the GOP would be renewing their calls for impeachment. (Actually, Laura Ingraham has already done so on Fox News Tuesday night with Greta Van Sustern.) This shift to portraying the letter as a joke is just a lame attempt to get out from under the bad publicity it has created for the imbeciles who signed it. But it also reveals that Republicans are not averse to endangering sensitive negotiations, and the security of the nation and the world, in order to satisfy their psychotic hatred of our President. And that is what they regard as patriotism.

Thanks for this thread, reading it was such fun!

85. Mahalo Spazito!

How did your grandson's band concert go?

[Spazito]

86. It was wonderful! School bands from across the city performed...

The bands spend the day, it's called Band Share Day, at a performance centre, sharing their wonderful talents with each other. It isn't a competition in any way, it is a true sharing.

After the day of sharing, some of the bands also perform in the evening where parents, grandparents can attend and my grandson's band was one of them.

He plays the trombone and my granddaughter plays the trumpet, a musical household for sure!

[Cha]

87. That does sounds Wonderful! Musical households are awesome.. my grandkids are

like that(guitar, saxophone, and piano) in Portland, Ore. Sports and studies, too. Such excellent ways to spend their formative years .. getting reading to be out on their own.
