Uh... why is he wearing a wedding band and she isn't?

And I thought she was taller than that next to him? Was he in heels?

Same sex marriage wasn't the law of the land yet.

And I thought she was taller than that next to him? Was he in heels?

He was standing on the tree stand.

You guys are all over-reacting. ISIS is the "JV team". Mr. president said so, nothing to see here.

So then this happened.

Obama pledges end to 'organizations of hate' after Turkey airpo - 13 WTHR Indianapolis



WTF does that even mean? And, does it apply domestically?

This is eerily reminiscent of GWB's "War on Terror" in which, as I recall, he also declared war on "hate." You can't fight a human emotion.

And, if new steps will be taken to fight Daesh (or whatever "organization of hate" is on the menu), why the freakin freak have those steps not ALREADY BEEN TAKEN?

I swear some of this stuff seems like it was directly lifted from a video game cut scene. I know I've said that before, but still....

"Turkish officials have blamed the attack on the Islamic State group"

...I'm assuming because they're not idiots...

"President Barack Obama is pledging to dismantle "organizations of hate" after the deadly bombing at Istanbul's airport"

...I'm assuming, the NRA and the like...

"Turkish officials have blamed the attack on the Islamic State group"

...I'm assuming because they're not idiots...

In defense of the Turkish officials, Daesh is not the only terrorist organization to attack in the last 3 months. Of course, Daesh is more likely to attack civilians, but I credit them for not rushing to judgment on this one.

And then this.

Istanbul airport attackers 'Russian, Uzbek and Kyrgyz' - BBC News

The three men who carried out Tuesday's deadly attack on Istanbul airport were of Russian, Uzbek and Kyrgyz nationality, Turkish media and officials say.

Within, oh let's say 48 hours, of Erdogan apologizing to Putin, an attack conducted by terrorists from Russia proper and 2 Russian client states. Coincidence, I'm sure.

[ETA]
Supposedly, a CCTV pic of the crew entering the airport.
