https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/02/opinion/angelina-jolie-refugee-policy-should-be-based-on-facts-not-fear.html?_r=0

Everything she's going through she still took the time to release a very thoughtful caring response- not a knee jerk reaction .

Where is the poster GGuser now, hey?!

Very moving piece. Loved reading it..Thx for the link.

She probably wanted to do it the first day but she's treading the waters lightly (her PR people prob telling her that) which is the best thing. I knew she was going to say something soon though, this hurts her deeply. And like most sane people, we want it gone. I hope he memo gets to Trump and he reconsiders this b/c it's hurting not helping.

I know, I saw and I am SO very HAPPY that she did.

Cheers!

All the best to her and I am so glad to see that she is continuing to be a positive force in this world.

Proud of her for speaking up, it was important for her to do so and I know that she cares deeply about this. I LOVE that she took the time to write this excellent piece.

We'll probably see a nasty tweet from you know who about her and this article but who cares I love what she wrote and it is very accurate!! This ban is the stupidest thing ever and it's taking away rights from people that mean us no harm.

At least it's meaningful that vulnerable people have someone so wonderful in their corner and it's good to know that. A real humanitarian.

Wow. Yet only a day or so ago you claimed she 'had her head in the sand'. Fascinating.

Yeah, because she had not responded to this issue, now she has. Beautiful.

She had to gather her thoughts and present an educated response to what's happened, which she did. Don't doubt her my friend, she's on the side of good.

It is stupid to NOT protect your country and trust that the bad guys will obey the laws. Are you kidding me? Have you ever watched one TV show or movie or experienced one scenario in life where the bad guys come up against a law and they say "Whoawe can't go speeding down that street, there's a stop sign there. We have to obey what the sign says." What??? What world are you living in? It's dangerous out there. Borders need to be tight. Angelina makes sure she's got protection around her house. She has bodyguards. Why should the American people not be as protected as possible? It's Trump's job to protect us all. Unlike Obama, he makes keeping America safe a priority. Obama's priority was his ideology.

Angelina Jolie has her head so far up her a$$ she'll never get it out.

Her message was moving and thoughtful. She warned the world earlier last year about the refugee situation, and how fear and isolationist policies 111cwould do much more harm than good. It is her job to speak out about these issues, and that is what she is doing so, admirably so. I am glad she's back.

Where was she when Obama drew the red line in Syria and then didn't follow throughwhich CONTRIBUTED to the refugee crisis? Where was she when Obama pulled out of Iraq, essentially leaving that country open to ISISwhich also CONTRIBUTED to the refugee crisis? Not a word out of her about the cause of the crisis. No, she won't get real. Instead she wants to put a halo over her head and pretend she's a Mother Theresa in stilettos. Please, no sane person is buying that.

Her opinion was very middle of the road politically speaking but I doubt you *beep* read it.

It's actually very clear her head is not up her a** since she took time to write a powerful essay so people will understand from a person who has been around refugees for over 10 years now. You probably haven't moved from your couch in about 10 years so you may not understand that. Also, do you know what it takes to write a well informed essay and for The New York Times, no doubt. Highly educated people research, read and listen very closely and carefully to what's actually going on around them, then they write on it. Unlike you (which is very clear from your very classy responsethis is call sarcasm by the way), she is highly educated and informed on the subject. Chump and all of his backwards klan, oops, I mean supporters should try to research, read and listen carefully as well and get their heads out of their a**.

You have no idea what you are talking about. How does this secure our borders? None of those countries on the list have done anything to us. And how is Chump going to make things better for everyonepeople are outraged right now and he doesn't listen or care. The job of a president is to unite the country not divide it. Plus, sweetheart, you should really read a history book.

The fact that you are such a child as to refer to the PRESIDENT of the United States as "Chump" makes it clear that you are incapable of a grown-up conversation. Good luck playing with the other children in your sand box.

Really?! I'm the child?! Please go to your president's twitter page and read all the childish things he says and about people none the less. How dare you?! How hypocritical of you to come on Angelina Jolie's board and spew lies and hatred. I call him a Chump b/c he negatively talks nonsense about things and people he has no idea about. Plus, he is a Chumpgo look up the definition of the word. You are pathetic. And you are also the reason why the message board is being shutdown. Your negativity and lies on this board and probably others have made them dispense of it. You should be ashamed. You can not make me believe anything you say. I'm through with you. Bye-Bye.

I see that you are not open to any new facts or information. Good luck with your delusions.

He's not Chump. He's Commander Marmalade. A global laughing stock although it's pretty frightening to have a malignant narcissist with so much power. He's a red headed version of that fat kid in north korea.

Why don't you read a book and educate yourself or better yet go and 'experience' life like Angelina has educated herself and acquired first-hand experience on these matters meaning she truly knows what she's talking about instead of making up BS movie/TV scenarios and she's an actress! See, this is what happens when you make a TV celebrity the POTUS you have some citizens such as yourself creating scenarios that simply don't exist.

Also, I don't recall people assembling peacefully to protest the Obama administration on a daily basis the way people, as well as business organizations and companies have been protesting and boycotting Trump. Get a clue. Please, wake up, you'll do yourself a favor.

E.T.A.

Plus, if this were a movie, it would be a Western, in which the new POTUS, misb68takenly believing himself to be a cowboy, twirls his handguns outside of a saloon as if inviting really anyone to come out and play. He is basically just looking to start trouble with anyone. Again, the travesty that occurs with someone who is a pretentious billionaire that suddenly decides to dedicate all of his diabolical genius and energies for totally unnecessary evil instead of necessary and much needed good.

Funny how now he is all out cyber-security when just a few months ago he was inviting another country to hack U.S. Zero integrity. No credibility. An embarrassment.

Let me remind you that Angelina is a self-promoter. Let me also remind you that she DOES not sit in on the President's security briefings. In other words she hasn't a clue what's really going on in the world. You know who does? The PRESIDENT of the United States does - PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. Deal with it.

Lemme remind you that our president is a *beep* lunatic. He has been confirmed to be on hair loss medication that affects the brain. Okay? This is truth. Not fake news.

You are obviously unhinged, striking out with silly accusations. If you can't show respect for the President of the United States you are not mature enough to continue this conversation.

Right, you mean the "President" that has the highest disapproval rating of any new President in the history of the U.S.? & speaking of American President, did you happen to see how your dear leader made it abundantly clear that he had no clue who Frederick Douglas was? You can continue your horrendous blind loyalty to him but he is Not My Dictator.

E.T.A.

"BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order scaling back the sweeping 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulatory framework enacted under President Obama"

"the Dodd-Frank law was enacted in 2010 to safeguard against another financial meltdown of Wall Street."

"The meeting underscored the degree to which the architects of Mr. Trumps economic strategy are now some of the very people he lambasted in his campaign."


"Democrats and consumer groups called the actions a gift to Wall Street."

Trump's poll numbers have increased dramatically. The majority of Americans back him. You should also know, he won 2400 counties in the country on election day. Hillary won 450.

Trumps numbers have increases says FAKE NEWS.

The fake news is the denial of PRESIDENT Trump's positive poll numbers. Liberals still haven't gotten over losing the electionand the country.

You mean the election in which your dear leader LIED about the U.S. admitting Syrian Refugees on a "humanitarian basis" and also LIED about condemning Wall Street and claiming to be a champion for the working class? OR how about the election in which he invited Russia to hack into his opposing candidate's emails? Yeah, real "winner" there. I can't imagine why the so-called "Liberals," i.e. The American People would be upset and not "over" it.

OMG, the fact that you believe all those fake facts explains everything. The left has wound you up like a toy top and you're just spinning in circles. Obama was guilty of one of the biggest lies in modern history (" If you like your doctor" etc.) Hillary was a close second in the lying department with "Benghazi was caused by a video". The left lies because they believe the end ( their ideology) justifies the means. To the extent that they have a manifesto, that is rule number one. The Dems want a country where an elite group ( like with the EU) run the show , the masses get thrown some crumbs to shut up and the middle class has to pay the tab for the social safety net that keeps the masses docile. Freedom is not in that equation. Perhaps you need to spend less time watching CNN and MSNBC.

Lydia there is actual FOOTAGE of Trump and Executive Orders that he has enacted that back up what I am saying. "The Right" simply calls "fake news" when you have no proper comeback.
Also, Trump invited Russia to hack his opponent in the U.S. election during a live DEBATE that everyone saw he gave a live interview during his campaign saying that the "he hates the concept of it but that on a humanitarian basis, you have to" accept Syrian Refugees. -Donald J. Trump You can watch it yourself, since you apparently have amnesia or missed it and not just lying and denying it. He says it here: on the O'Reilly Factor and I didn't even need to post a link because I saw him saying these things on national television when he did we all did. I remember because it was the one thing that got my attention because it sounded decent, which is unlike him, so I should've known he was lying then. If he wasn't lying then, he would not have enacted an executive order barring Syrian refugees INDEFINITELY. You just can't accept or defend the fact that he lied, that he is not a man with integrity who is true to his word, and so you resort to calling this 'news' fake instead of admit the truth.

During Trump's campaign:

ABC news live footage of Trump himself saying: "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the thirty thousand emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press." -Donald J. Trump
Watch here: "Donald Trump Appears to Invite the Russians to Hack Hillary's Emails"

"No, it gives me no pause" no qualms to invite a foreign government, Russia, China, anybody to interfere, to hack into a system of anybody's in this country. -Donald J. Trump
"This has to be the first time that a major presidential candidate has actively encouraged a foreign power to conduct espionage against his political opponent" Jake Sullivan Senior Policy Adviser, Clinton Campaign and do you know why? BECAUSE HAVING A FOREIGN GOVERNMENT INTERFERE WITH THE U.S. ELECTIONS IS ILLEGAL! Trump is the real criminal here, who gets away with it every time because he is a billionaire and people like you who also lack integrity or have convenient amnesia, defend him.
For goodness sake, Nixon was impeached for local/national espionage but Trump gets away with it on an international level and then goes on as POTUS talking about cyber security like a joke from a complete hypocrite. HOW do you not see or understand the WRONG here? http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-cyber-idUSKBN15F1WW Trump to order departments to beef up cyber securi2000ty

O and none of these sources that prove the fact that he is a liar with no integrity came from CNN or MSNBC. So now can you clarify which "Fake facts" you were referring to?

Lydia, do you realize that Americans have been protesting Trump and his administration since DAY 1 with the historical Worldwide Women's March and we are now in Month 2 of is administration and you can see for yourself live streaming of the protests taking place today/right now on Facebook:

CNN is live now "We're in Washington, D.C., where protesters are marching against President Trumps travel ban."

The New York Times is live now: "We're in front of the Stonewall Inn in NYC, where some members of the LGBTQ community are standing against President Donald J. Trump and his administration. Comment with your questions for rally participants, and NYT journalist Emma Orme will ask some.

The People For Bernie Sanders was live 54 minutes ago: "We're hitting the streets in Pittsburgh to say no to ICE raids and detention, and no to Trump's racist immigration policies. #NoBanNoWall"

These protests don't just take place every weekend since Trump took Office either, they have also occurred on week days. Since day 1 or even before if you count the evident lack of attendance at his inauguration no alternative facts here so quick, avert your eyes from the ugly truth. Vite, Vite!

Careful, Lydia. You sound like you work for Trump's PR agency. Sound familiar? Are you sure your name's not Kellyanne?

I'm glad youre not a jack ass.

And in a good way. Her op-ed was fantastic! Thanks to her for being her impassioned, ethical and articulate self!
