While President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration has left families wondering when they will see their loved ones again, drawing condemnation from leaders around the globe, the administration’s actions have also impacted another group: career U.S. officials working on asylum and refugee cases as well as foreign policy. "There are people literally crying in the office here," said a senior U.S. immigration official who spoke to The Intercept on condition of anonymity.

What is it? What's up with the all the lachrymose lamentation? It does not compute. In my experience, women, in general, are remarkably tough, more tolerant of pain (maybe childbirth instills it). They physically heal quicker and they outlive us men. GENERALLY speaking. Okay? I'm treading on quicksand here, so please cut me a bit of slack. If you disagree, please feel free to do so without invective. So what's my problem? It's the crying!! I have observed US presidential election results on TV since 1958 and I do not remember people, male or female, crying so openly over election...

Breathing exercises in the Rose Garden and a steady stream of booze got the White House through election night, a communications staffer wrote in a story recounting his experience watching Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton lose. Pat Cunnane had been so confident Clinton would win that when he penciled in plans for former President Barack Obama to meet the president-elect that week, he wrote down her name in his calendar. A few days later, he found himself “ugly crying” in the Oval Office as Obama gave the White House staff a pep talk about President Donald Trump’s stunning victory. Read more:...

Parody based on Roy Oribison's song "Crying" Featuring Hillary Clinton fans and supporters whining and crying and rioting and not accepting a fair Democratic system where President Elect Donald Trump will be our next president!! Written and sung by the Prince Of Parody (Weird Al Being King) Dana Kamide.

EDIT: Owing to too little sleep, I’m sad to report that I misread this report and the bill is in the Iowa state legislature, not Congress. We can only dream I suppose. Hey… could anyone in D.C. work on a matching version? The article has been edited to reflect this.(Jazz) We’ve long since grown used to stories coming from the nation’s college campuses where “safe spaces” are set up for everything from Halloween costumes to the results of the presidential election. But some universities have taken it a step further, setting up special counseling sessions for “grieving” students and additional...

Best Rant Ever! I could not stop laughing....Enjoy

SAN ANTONIO -- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich spoke openly Friday about his frustration with Tuesday night's election of Donald Trump as the country's 45th president. "I'm still sick to my stomach, and not basically because the Republicans won or anything, but the disgusting tenor, tone and all the comments that have been xenophobic, homophobic, racist, misogynistic," he said before the Spurs' home game against the Detroit Pistons. "And I live in that country where half the people ignored all that to elect someone. That's the scariest part of [the] whole thing to me.

Author Ed Klein joined Steve Malzberg on Newsmax TV on Wednesday after Donald Trump shocked the world by winning the US presidency in his first ever political race. Klein said Hillary Clinton called a friend and couldn’t stop crying. She blamed FBI Director Comey and Obama for the loss. Ed Klein: Here’s what I know, not my opinion. About 6:30 this morning she called an old friend. She was crying inconsolably. She couldn’t stop crying. And her friend, her female friend from way, way back said it was even hard to understand what she was saying she was crying so hard. This is Hillary we’re talking about. Eventually her friend...

Social media made him one of the biggest stars of the Democratic National Convention — a man in a “Peter Pan” hat, weeping during Sen. Bernie Sanders’ speech on Monday night. Sean Kehren, 22, a Sanders delegate from Minnesota, may not have been the only die-hard “Bernie Bro” moved to tears, but he quickly became the subject of memes, tweets and other apparatus to mock the emotional showing of supporters at the convention. Blame his choice of hat — a nod to Wall Street’s “Robin Hood tax.” “Sad Robin Hood just needs a minute,” a Twitter user wrote Monday. Despite...

I for one do not like the result of this primary race, but who would after they put their heart and soul into wanting to win. It was a classic battle, but Trump won. Just like military academies teach the logistics of histories greatest battles of war, so too will this epic battle be taught for generations to come by Political Science instructors. The lessons learned will effect the way politicians run their campaigns for decades. Both sides got down and dirty, as they obliterated the detente that made everyone speculate about why the they refused to attack each other...

Dear Glenn, I've been with you since 9-12. I've traveled from Florida to participate in your Restoring Honor event in DC. Your Restoring Love event in Dallas. I've been a paid subscriber to The Blaze TV since you established it (and stuck with it even though I was keenly disappointed when you ended REAL NEWS and replaced it with Goth Girl, who mirror images Megyn Kelly, another snark queen). I've been among your biggest fans for years, but over time I've lost that lovin' feeling, and haven't watched or listened to you as much, finding your views and mine increasingly...

Want to learn how to fake cry like Barack Obama did today as his fascist gun control speech? It’s really quite simple. It’s all acting 101. Below is a video of how Obama faked crying that has since sent the media into a swoon. The same media who routinely mocked John Boehner from crying.

Fleas kill dog left tied-up and crying for help "That dog was crying for at least eight hours. I had never heard an animal so sad in my life,” said a neighbor.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has appeared emotional in recent footage showing him witnessing a performance of his country's national anthem while on a visit in Mongolia. In the footage broadcast on Mongolian TV, the normally stoic Putin is seen standing next to Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj, looking down and at one point moving his hand to wipe his eye. “Putin is [so] manly, he's required to shed a tear every so often to maintain hormonal equilibrium,” said a user of the army enthusaist site militaryphotos.net. Last year, Russia's longstanding president was seen wiping away a tear during a Kremlin concert...

There couldn't be a more obvious choice... Babies bottoms are sand paper by comparison. In fact the only thing softer is his resolve...

He accomplished nothing good during his tenure as "Speaker of the House", but he sure bawled enough times, like a little baby badly in need a diaper change! It seems like a good time to make a musical celebration of this happy occasion of his leaving office. Here are some teary tunes for the crybaby. (Maybe you can add other "crying" songs to the list.) Bye-Bye Boo-Hoo Blubberman! "Hit The Road Jack"- Ray Charles "Crying Time"- Ray Charles "Cry Me A River"- Julie London "96 Tears"- Question Mark & The Mysterians "A Little Bitty Tear Let Me Down"- Burl...

When the braying of donkeys is joined by the trumpeting of elephants, some important deaths go completely unnoticed Hit Barack Obama with a dose of reality, and Nancy Pelosi cries. Make that “nearly” cries to squeeze out every ounce of publicity there for the taking when a statesman FINALLY has the floor in joint Congress. “I nearly cried” is what a 4-year-old tells his buddy when explaining how his mother wouldn’t let him have a second ice cream cone during yesterday’s family outing. “House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday blasted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s address to Congress about...

PBS’s new special, Gunned Down: The Power of the NRA, includes looks at other gun rights groups–like Gun Owners of America (GOA)–and actually credits GOA with dragging Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) into the light when he tried to cloak his 2013 gun control push with words like “compromise” and “loopholes.” (SNIP) Consequently, the GOA began pushing other gun rights groups–notably the NRA–by asking GOA members to call the NRA and “urge [them] to oppose [Manchin’s] bill.”

From one woman who had an abortion: You could hear crying in the holding room… crying of women who already had the abortion. I remember the sounds, the smells, the suction… You could hear the sound of the motor of the pump, the suction when the baby was being withdrawn, the clinking of the utensils.… this hurts so bad [she thought] this is what I get, of course it’s going to hurt… Look what I’m doing… I just remember the crying… So many people crying. Only her husband and eldest son know about her two abortions which she had in...
