I dont want congrats. I want toughness and vigilance. We must be smart larry yes, donald, you were really ahead of the curve on the whole terrorism is bad thing. I mean, honestliy, who brags about this . Its like your doctor saying, yo, dude, i totally called it you do have cancer ecalled that bleep , man but he didnt just tweet, he redirected the diarrhea from his twitter account directly through his facehole at a press conference. Trump the killer, whose name i will not use or ever say, was born an afghan, of afghan parents, who immigrated to the United States. Larry no, he was born an american. But his parents immigrated to the United
And his wife, until the day he died, he died in his sleep, almost at the age of 80, two days before my wife and i were supposed to have dinner with him and his wife here in washington with his other friends to celebrate his impending 80th birthday. But he had the courage to keep out of step when everybody was marching to the wrong tune. He how do i say this . He would face wad dilemma, like maybe voting with his caucus or voting with the president , and something that he just thought was wrong, he was amazingly he would, like, say, what is the right thing to do . Ive heard him say this moreen this a few times. As governor, chairman of the National Governors association, here, he would say, what is the right thing to do . He wouldnt say, what is the easy thing to do, what is the expedient thing to do, but what is the right thing to do . He was a person of deep faith. We have a Bible Study Group that meets here every thursday, just upstairs not far from this floor, about seven or eight o

Ms. Khera i know you want to Say Something but let me ask you first do you live in a muslim neighborhood . No, i do not. Do you know what a muslim neighborhood is . I was scratching my head at that when i first heard that term use. The Muslim Community in the United States with few phuoc sections is actually quite spread out and integrated into the broader america. That is my experience too that i can show you some Irish Catholic churches in chicago and some areas on the north shore where jewish populations live but muslim populations at large per se and they seem to be dispersed family and we talk about the trolling and enforcing muslim neighborhoods im at a loss.

Minority leader harry reid congratulated chris murphy for leading the 15hour debate against gun violence on wednesday in the senate.

For 14 hours and 50 minutes, beginning Late Wednesday morning and ending early thursday morning, the entire nation watched the senator from connecticut teach our republican colleagues a lesson and another things not the least of which is courage. It is easy to say we stood for 14 hours. We talk a lot about filibusters in the senate. They dont happen very often. I have been in congress for 34 heres and i have probably led two more than anyone else. They dont happen much. There are a lot of fake filibusters but this was real. I admire and appreciate the junior senator from connecticut very much. Four days after 49 innocent americans were gunned down in a nightclub, senator murphy stood here as indicated f
They are going to push back and treat the theocratic mentality and have a vision because otherwise theres the cognitive dissonance that prevents the advancement of the ideas that can happen this laboratory in america. Take your medical and now to step further in europe for two trading symptoms instead of addressing the root cause. I assume you could analogize this to a misdiagnosis. In this instance that we missed a diagnosis as a malady that has brought about as a result of poverty and the result of lack of Educational Opportunities or a Career Opportunity what might we mess .
