  1. Someone talk to the production manager or whoever thought it was a great idea to do a presentation in front of a presentation.

    1. We’re gonna build prison walls around Trump. Maybe you can go visit him there and tell him how great he is.

  2. Glad to see some celebrity speaking about the urgency and situation in Vzla without Americans tainting it by pretending it has anything to do with the USA left or right

  3. Brown people scary. Need to compensate economic insecurity and ignorance of global issues by spreading lies and hate against refugee families. The orange leader told me it’s okay to attack them, since they are the „worst of the worst“. Even worse than my cold and bruised heart…

    1. Actually, global citizenry or cosmopolitanism goes back to antiquity (ancient Greek: kosmopolite) and has been endorsed by many philosophers, thinkers, and statesmen throughout the ages (including many founding fathers).
      Nationalism, otoh, was an outmoded concept even in the 18th century.

      “The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.” Thomas Paine

      “Better the pride that resides in a citizen of the world, than the pride that divides when a colorful rag is unfurled.” Rush

    1. What could go wrong? Agents of the fossil fuel industry could plant a bomb in the crowd and blow everyone up. Aside from that… nothing, really.

    2. Nothing, everything is going right. As religion declines, so does every social ill. Cf history and every other post-religious Western democracy today, and even the US, still the most religious of Western democracies, where as religious belief has declined, so have social ills (even though we have a long way to go to catch up to the more advanced countries which surpassed us in moral and political development decades ago).

    3. This new generation is dumb af voting away their basic freedoms and they dont even know it. They are blindly following the old drugged out hippies who are 70 now and have no purpose in life but to be mad at everything.

    1. @Tessmage Tessera Open boarders and free health care for the world. I am seeking asylum can I live in your house. I don’t have a job or money can you support me also?

  4. I’ve long considered myself as a citizen of the world. A noble tradition cosmopolitanism is, going back to antiquity (ancient Greek: kosmopolite) and endorsed by many philosophers, thinkers, and statesmen throughout the ages (including many founding fathers).

    “The World is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion.” Thomas Paine

    “Better the pride that resides in a citizen of the world, than the pride that divides when a colorful rag is unfurled.” Rush

  5. Let’s see what some Founding Fathers wrote about immigrants coming to & seeking asylum in the US:

    Washington: “I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable Asylum to the virtuous & persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong…” 1788

    Paine: America is “An asylum for mankind.” Common Sense

    Jefferson: The US offers “A sanctuary for those whom the misrule of Europe may compel to seek happiness in other climes.” 1817

    The Declaration of Independence states that one of the abuses of the king was that he discouraged and prevented people from coming to the colonies by “obstructing the Laws for naturalization” & “refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations”.

  6. Film industry with their money and time should be doing more for this country. Those few who cheated to get their children to ivory school should be ASHAMED. Instead they should help a few good but poor students with tuitions and or help with student loans.

  7. Unfortunately, it’s completely about politics. The DNC has utterly and appallingly dropped the ball on immigration and border enforcement, and in essence (not stated it outright) advocated a series of policies that suggest an overall impact pragmatically of “open borders”. I loath Trump and Trumpublicans. But Democrats insane immigration policy statements are the political equivalent of self immolation.

  8. Wow, first time I see MSNBC covering the Venezuelan Exodus, which is as big as Syria’s , yet got 1.5% of the aid* and almost no coverage. Is unbelievable MSNBC has a actual venezuelan reporter who they do not put her on the air to cover the subject.

    Rachel almost got it right. The only thing missing from her speech is the acknowledgment that people are fleeing Venezuela because the communist government of Maduro controls the economy and destroyed all the industries, businesses and jobs, so we ran out of money and food. The reason is not climate change as Joy Ann implied.
