dixiegrrrrl's JournalLawyer for Walter Scott Family Switches Sides to Endorse Bernie Sanders
The lawyer, State Representative Justin T. Bamberg of South Carolina, said he is switching sides because he believes Mrs. Clinton embodies establishment politics, while Mr. Sanders offers a bolder platform that will improve the lives of people in the South and across the country. The endorsement could help Mr. Sanders as he tries to win more support from black voters — especially in South Carolina — in the series of southern states that hold contests after Iowa and New Hampshire, where he is well positioned.
“Hillary Clinton is more a representation of the status quo when I think about politics or about what it means to be a Democrat,” said Mr. Bamberg, who initially endorsed Mrs. Clinton in December. “Bernie Sanders on the other hand is bold. He doesn’t think like everyone else. He is not afraid to call things as they are.”
In April in North Charleston, a police officer, Michael T. Slager, fatally shot Mr. Scott, 50, as he ran from the officer. Video of the shooting went viral and a grand jury in June indicted Mr. Slager on a murder charge.
Du-ers in deep snow....how the heck can your doggies go outside????
Saw this on LOL cats this morning, and realized it raises a darn good question....what DO you do in such circumstance???
Never ever ever thought I would be saying thank you to G. Bush
His occupancy of the WH was SOOOOOO bad, that he has contaminated his brother !'s chances of nomination;
even the Repugs don't want another Bush in the WH.
Tornado warning in effect for Tehama County, Calif.; between Redding and Corning.
Hail and reported funnel clouds, nearing Gerber, between Redding and Corning.
Heading on path to Los Molinos.
Wow....not the normal thing.
DU-ers in snow country, pls help me understand something about traffic up there....
I spent the first 40 years on teh West Coast where we had a good snowfall every 3-4 years, enough to stop most traffic.
People went home early, and stayed off the roads, and if they had to go out, avoided hills, drove very slowly We even had an old jeep for bad driving.
Never saw long backups.
Drove over deep snow mountain passes, carefully. Little traffic. Few problems.
Couple of days AFTER the snow, the young and restless would hop in the car and make fools of themselves, true.
I moved to Fla. .....In the summer, everyday, horrific lightening storms. The boss sent everyone home at 3:00, the storms were that predictable.
So why are there 35 mile long backups on a freeway in Pa. and people stranded for over 18 hours, when the blizzard was known to be coming,
even down to the last couple hours of time?
"'I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and wouldn't lose any voters"
Yep..Trump said that.
