Pic Of The Moment: Happy Holidays!

[EarlG]

Pic Of The Moment is taking some time off for the holidays -- I'll be back on Monday January 4. And I have a Christmas wish: If you're on Facebook and you haven't done it already, please do me a favor and like the official DU Facebook page. As of today we have 67,264 likes. I want to try and get to 100,000 by the end of 2016, and I think we can do it!

Also, I can't end the year without expressing my gratitude to all the people who rec and reply to my pics every day. A heartfelt thanks to you all. And a special thanks to Skinner who pays me do this crazy job, and to Elad who really busted his ass this year getting the new servers online, and nailed it.

Here's to everyone on Democratic Underground: the most bonkers, fascinating, passionate bunch of politics wonks on the interwebs! Don't ever change!

Happy holidays, and a happy new year!

[hibbing]

19. Happy and Merry Everything Everyone!

The pages have been filled with rather contentious threads
Many probably stew and stir while in their beds
Soon will be over the nomination
Then we'll have some unification
We certainly won't sit on our rump
We must defeat this fascist Trump


Peace

[MADem]

30. That was so unnecessary. nt

[RoccoR5955]

31. People have to know this.

Consider it a public service announcement.

[etherealtruth]

33. I prefer to think of it as rude and uncalled for. n/t

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Over the top

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Dec 24, 2015, 09:15 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Uh huh, but what he's replying to wasn't.

Have a nice Christmas, alerter!
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: jerk is not the worst inmsult here, by a long shot. It does not violate the tos.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The over the top post was RoccoR5955. Clinton is winning votes. Sanders is losing. They are both running a campaign and Clinton's campaign is that superior. That has nothing to do with a coronation. The coronation would be to tell us that though we want Clinton by over 62%, we must hand the crown to Sanders, even though we do not want him, and he has not put in the same kind of work into his campaign that Clinton has. THAT would be a coronation. You know, gifting Sanders with a win when he as not earned it.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

44. Well done! I hope this picture becomes a Christmas season tradition every year here.

Democratic Underground is my home in the cyber world. I am extending my best holiday wishes to all my cyber - neighbors, & a heartfelt thank you to the D you add mins. Thank you all.

Let me add one of my most heartfelt Christmas songs: Kukla, Fran, and Ollie- "Christmas is a Time"

[hfojvt]

47. a prosperous New Year?

What am I? Some kind of capitalist?

Oh, did I mention it seems that Obamacare will be saving me about $3,000 next year.

Last year I paid $3,880.84 for 11 months of health care. This year I appear to be paying
$876 for 12 months. I am not using $33 a month of my subsidy, so that could be more or less depending on how many hours I work or what I make on the stock market. (Stock market? WTF? I am a bloody capitalist.)

Thanks, Obama.

p.s.

I still don't like the mandate, nor the lack of a public option.

50. The Gift of Giving

EarlG is more than a phenomena giving illustrations and graphics with a distinction that generates free thinking. My politics has evolved being here with DU looking forward to the next discussion.

Most of those debates about left or right politics more than not are usually not of the mainstream realm. Honest and sincere here more than the mainstream realm.

That very knowledge in political rhetoric the truthiness is a new political renaissance embedded in a wide range of fields, obviously mine being of a mathematical nature sometimes even to think EarlG could very well be cast into those characters with St Nicolaus. The cosmic numbers are a force with him.

Yes, EarlG has given me many more toys of good politics and policy, yes we could say EarlG is the Santa that drives the DU sleigh.

Merry Christmas EarlG and to all DU…A Happy New Year
