Hillary Clinton will receive an award for her work in protecting and advancing humanitarian rights across the globe at a Swansea University ceremony on October 14.
The former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic candidate is being celebrated by the Welsh university, which says "her cause is shared" by its Observatory on the Human Rights of Children and Young People. Clinton will receive an honorary doctorate, and is expected to deliver a speech on humanitarian issues during the event.
Clinton is a figure of "enormous international significance and one synonymous with human rights," the university’s Vice Chancellor professor Richard Davies told the BBC on Friday. "It is tremendous that she has chosen Swansea University for her first public appearance on this visit to the UK."
The contrast is almost stunning.
Here is the woman who inspired chants of "Lock her up," receiving an award for being a humanitarian, while the guy Putin helped win the election, blames American citizens for being "lazy" and allowing themselves to be devastated by a hurricane.
It will probably depress you to do so, but just imagine what the response to the crisis in Puerto Rico, and the potential conflict with North Korea, would have been with Hillary Clinton in charge of the country.
And then just imagine how much easier it would be for you to sleep at night.
C'mon Gryphen, Trump's gonna win the Nobel Peace Prize any day now, just as soon as he "pivots".
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful Smile.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought. I admire HRC very much for how she has dedicated her life and how she has lived it.
DeleteDonald Trump should have received that award from those Trump haters.
ReplyDeleteTrump earned all the hate he receives.
DeleteHe is evil. You are an idiot.
The hater should have received an award for hating? Alicia is just so dumb. I think everything this mentally ill psychopath puts out their should be reflected back to her parents.

ReplyDeleteTrump will never be awarded these type things unless he obtains them himself and pays for them up front. Fuck him! He does not represent Americans throughout the world!
i think the whole word knows that trump is stupid, crazy, and racist and worthless. they are waiting for him to be gone too. pence is an ass, too, but a politian ass. the best i say about him he is a pussy grabber.

Trump’s Own FEMA Director Humiliates Him By Debunking His Puerto Rico Lie
...LONG: Oh, I believe the Puerto Ricans are pulling their weight. I mean, I think they’re doing what they can. You know, what the — you know, the bottom line is — the question is that a local mayor’s job is to push commander’s intent down to his or her troops. And in many cases, those — that commander’s intent from a mayor down to their troops has to be aligned with what the governor’s priorities are as well as FEMA. That’s called joint priorities.
Long’s statement was a direct contradiction of what Trump tweeted:
Trump's own FEMA Director, who he lavished praise on after Hurricane Harvey, has debunked the President's big lie about Puerto Rico.

I want apologies from every gullible, stupid, misogynistic, hate filled DEPLORABLE that voted for the orange asswipe. And I want one from John McCain specifically for using his balls to choose Sarah Palin instead of his head to choose someone qualified to be his running mate. Ultimately his bad judgement brought on Trump and led to all of the nazis and klanners crawling out of the woodwork. So McCain better pony up one hell of an apology before the cancer eats his brain.
take it easy on McCain. i don't think he chose the bird brain, i think she was chosen by someone else. maybe he will say something-maybe he wont't. if is does it will more than likely go like this" some of the other repubs decided i should have a woman run with me. so we will get the woman's vote because they are all are mad that Hillary lost, so they will vote for us. now had it been a decent woman chosen that might have work. sarah was picked out of a hat and keep d-because she was attractive. proving once again that the repubs know nothing about women. yes, he could have chosen someone else, bot end up fighting his own party. it took my mother over a year to die if cancer. surgery, radiation and chemo. let us give him a break because of his refusal to do what trump demanded. if for anything else, his service.

GOP strategist ridicules ‘valley girl’ Trump for whining on Twitter
ReplyDelete...While several left-leaning panelists went after Trump, conservative strategist Evan Siegfried was the most brutal.
“The president is isolated and has an overblown sense of grievance. He feels he needs to be getting credit for things he shouldn’t be getting credit for because he has very few accomplishments,” Siegfried began. “He is becoming isolated and congressional Republicans largely ignore him.”
“He has no real legislative track record, he has only executive orders to show for what he’s done and he has a further divided nation,” he added as he got warmed up.
“At the same time when we look at what he was saying yesterday, it sounds like a valley girl,” he remarked before adopting a teen girl’s voice. “‘Oh, my god, they’re ingrates, why don’t they appreciate me?’ We have a high school girl as president of the United States essentially, who is trying to make it all about him and his ego as opposed to the fact that 5 percent of the people in Puerto Rico don’t have drinkable water. Ninety percent don’t have cell service and only 5 percent have electric power”
“The optics are bad and deservedly so, but it’s now all about how people don’t appreciate the very great things that are going on there,” he concluded in disgust.

That's 55% of Puerto Ricans that don't have drinkable water. And for those of you who can't imagine why this is a problem... if one doesn't have potable water to drink or to cook with, or fuel to boil water..what happens is drinking what is available out of desperation...which can mean cholera and death.

DeleteDem Rep: Trump can ‘kick and scream’ but truth about botched Maria response ‘is going to come out’
ReplyDelete...Trump has blocked Democratic members of Congress from viewing the destruction in Puerto Rico first hand by forbidding them from accompanying relief missions to the island.
“You can have as many alternative facts as you want to use,” Soto said, “and as many counter-punches on Twitter, but people see things for what they are. Here in central Florida, people can’t reach their families. There are mayors who still haven’t heard from the federal government throughout the island.”
“I’ll be seeing the island tomorrow — after being blocked by the administration — along with other Democratic lawmakers,” he said. “But the truth is going to come out, no matter how much Trump and others may try to kick and scream and try to paint this as not the crisis that it is.”

Delete"while the guy Putin helped win the election,"
ReplyDeleteYou mis-wrote that Gryphen, Please correct:
while the guy Putin helped steal the election, .
What the idiots in this country(with help) have elected is the most despicable man-child I could have ever imagined in that position. I did not think that at 63 I would see such a monstrosity as POTUS. They have also revealed themselves, small consolation at this point but important to remember in the future. A large part of the electorate consists of folks of very limited and gullible cognizance. Intelligence and facts don't sway them (Palin folks). They are the part of the DNA we need to leave behind; they are driven by medieval superstition and absurd conspiracies. It is why Fox 'News' is so successful. There is absolutely no guarantee this society will survive when folks of such stupidity have the right to vote. It is more likely we will turn into an oligarchical fascist state. The idiots who voted for it won't understand their misery, but they will be convinced it has something to do with some minority. It is what the oligarchs will tell them.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. It won't happen again.
DeleteI'm all for a social litmus test that people must pass prior to breeding. If you pass the intelligence and physical standards then your birth control device will be removed and you will be allowed to procreate, once.
DeleteYou will be judged on your parenting abilities once that one child is born and if you are found wanting then you will not be allowed to breed again; you will be spayed or neutered and if you are a terrible enough parent your child will be remanded to those who can most appropriately raise it.
That's how things should be done. We'd never have another idiot in the whitehouse again.
Hillary has flaws, but they would not have cause any problems with her presidental actions. she would have been in Portuo Rico in days. she would had the ball rolling as soon as she could. sorry, i can't spell.trump does not like anyone who is rich and white-so they can die. so much easier than building showers.
ReplyDeleteJonathan Swan of Axios.com reported Sunday night that sources present for the discussion confirmed that Trump told trade negotiator Robert Lighthizer to go into negotiations with South Korea portraying the U.S. chief executive as a volatile wild card in order to throw the U.S. ally off balance.
ReplyDelete“You’ve got 30 days, and if you don’t get concessions then I’m pulling out,” Trump reportedly told Lighthizer.
“Ok, well I’ll tell the Koreans they’ve got 30 days,” Lighthizer replied.
“No, no, no,” Trump interrupted. “That’s not how you negotiate. You don’t tell them they’ve got 30 days. You tell them, ‘This guy’s so crazy he could pull out any minute.'”
Trump went on, “That’s what you tell them: Any minute. And by the way, I might. You guys all need to know I might. You don’t tell them 30 days. If they take 30 days they’ll stretch this out.”
“Plenty of world leaders think the president is crazy — and he seems to view that madman reputation as an asset,” said Swan. “The downsides are obvious: the rhetoric can unnerve allies and has the potential to provoke enemies into needless, unintended war. But Trump keeps using the tactic, with varying degrees of success.”

ReplyDelete“The execution has been horrifying”: Trump loses staunch ally Curt Schilling over Puerto Rico
By Caroline Orr | October 1, 2017
Even steadfast supporter and Breitbart employee Curt Schilling had nothing nice to say about Donald Trump's disastrous response to Puerto Rico.

Breitbart columnist and former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling ripped Donald Trump’s response to the humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico, calling the administration’s inadequate efforts “horrifying.”
Schilling can usually be counted on as one of Trump’s most reliable allies, even holding a rally for him weeks before the election.
But even he didn’t mince words when speaking about the administration’s disastrous response to Puerto Rico in an interview on Fox.
Schilling, who is on the ground assisting with relief efforts, described a bleak situation on the hurricane-ravaged island, saying the death toll is likely to rise into the thousands.
“These are Americans,” Schilling said. “If this were Houston, Texas there’d be 55,000 soldiers on this island right now.”

Trump desperately touts D.C. lobbyist who praised his appalling Puerto Rico response
Donald Trump’s disastrous response to Puerto Rico has been slammed by everyone from the Mayor of San Juan to Lin-Manuel Miranda to the stars of Saturday Night Live.
Now, in a desperate bid to find someone who will say something positive about his woefully inadequate (and at times downright hostile) actions, Trump has taken the unprecedented step of releasing a White House readout of a phone call — with a lobbyist.
