#StrandedInUS: Americans Open Homes to Strangers Stuck After Paris Attacks



"Paris residents warmed the Internet's collective heart Friday night by using the hashtag #PorteOuverte, or "open door," to offer shelter to strangers left stranded after at least six deadly attacks sent the city into chaos. A few hours later, people across the U.S. returned the favor with a hashtag of their own: #StrandedinUS.

The hashtag #StrandedinUS began trending overnight Friday into Saturday with offers from Americans willing to help Parisians having trouble making their way back home due to airline cancellations or delays. People offered up beds, couches and hot meals to French nationals in need.

Those having trouble making their way back to France were also encouraged to use the hashtag to ask for help."

I already know who these people are.. it says everything about them and absolutely

nothing about Hillary.

I have the most egregious on ignore.. who needs to see the same ol thing 24/7 for years? So they can reply to me until they're red in the face but I don't have to even know the next thing they're pushing in BS's name.

Thanks for calling out the latest propaganda from the sanders' campaign on DU. This is bouncing right back on Bernie.. they're just too dense to know it.

"Yet 60 percent of Democrats also want their nominee to continue President Obama’s policies, and

these voters support Mrs. Clinton over Mr. Sanders by about a 2-to-1 margin."

Yes! Too bad for berni that President Obama is so popular.. that puts him in such an awkward position since he spent so much time working against him and called for him to be primaried in 2012.

"But Sanders still faces an enormous electoral problem: He cannot seem to find support among

minority voters, whose votes are necessary to win a Democratic nomination."

Is it any wonder?
