laserhaas's JournalSnipes are Snipes against any who have applauds or gripes
Theres a flow that goes out there -"au contrare" - to what or who may care. Doing so in a petty or snide (snipe) way.
You go on Facebook or Twitter, and you talk about someone who did something nice, different, or better than average. Only to have those seek to rwin on the parade, who ain't done so or hate any doing so, come along to swipe at the premise (these are the snipe as hunters).
I'm not allowed to point out Trump lied about draining the swamp, or his love affair with Goldman Sachs, or how a guy is holding up a sign, with a MAGA hat on his head, with the sign saying - "I made a big mistake" - without a 'snipe' coming along and saying how pathetic a human being I am for even mentioning a person who voted for the guy.
Isn't it a good thing the person admits his vote was wrong?
For 16 years I've endured 'snipes', even from progressive side' telling me I'm a pain in their ass, fighting Romney & Goldman Sachs. A prominent lawyer at DK, kept saying Mitt left in 1999, and that I was lying. He had a brigade of followers who said I'm CT over and over again. And it pissed me off that purported progressives were defending Romney, just to snipe at me.
Then, when Obama pointed out the same facts I contended, were true (and his campaign websites followed or friended me) ...instead of apologizing for being wrong, they attacked me more...and Bojo'd me for fighting back.
Or - if I point out a former female veteran joining African Park Rangers (who are getting killed) - than I'm a wretch who the petty & snide snipes say supports the NRA.
Haters who constantly ruin the message you seek to make note of (cause familiarity does breed contempt).
Snipes going around, just like a lawyer's gang, finding fault with anything you say, just because they like being miserable and hate you're the one pointing out a good thing.
I gave up my membership in gun club, and my markmenship awards - decades ago. Doing such long before it was popular....because I despised the thpughts that came, when anger arose.
Snipes or not, I greatly applaud the female Veteran putting herself on the line to stop poachers who kill Park Rangers.
I applaud the person who puts out a FB pic, of himself, noting he made a big mistake, voting for the arsehole Trump.
And I will never stop fighting Sachs or Bain
No matter how many 'snipers' are miserable and have nothing better to do, then to tryto make it rain, on a parade; because someone thinks people are arseholes for pulling all those flowers...just to make a dam float.
Sheesshh
Lawyer representing United passenger takes on American Airlines
Source: Reuters
Reuters) - The lawyer representing Dr. David Dao, who was dragged from a United Airlines plane, said he will also represent a woman whose clash with an American Airlines flight attendant went viral over the weekend.
Thomas Demetrio told CNBC on Monday that he will represent both passengers whose recent confrontations with airline and airport employees sparked global outrage and prompted a nationwide conversation over U.S. carriers' treatment of passengers.
"Her tale is compelling. The video is a microcosm of what's wrong with the airline industry today," Demetrio said in an interview with CNBC.
In a video posted on Facebook on Friday by a bystander aboard the American Airlines flight, the woman is seen in tears and holding a young child after a male flight attendant had apparently wrested a baby stroller from her.

Teacher sells jewelry for students sake
In our current unpredicatable world, looking as if gone mad, with ebols surrounding U.S. within and throughout, such ugly times cries out for relief. Thus I'm overjoyed Rubina Cook brought me this story of altruism; which is a welcomed respite.
Annapurna Mohan sold her jewelry to supply her class
http://www.thenewsminute.com/article/tn-govt-school-teacher-sold-her-own-jewellery-give-her-students-classroom-they-deserve-60684
From an interactive smartboard to colourful and comfortable furniture to the stacks of English-language books, this classroom in the Panchayat Union Primary School (PUPS), Kandhadu seems as fine as any in a well-funded international school. And whats more, the students speak crisp and clear English, as fluently and comfortably as if theyve been speaking it all their lives.
But the students of this classroom are fortunate to have had Annapurna Mohan for a teacher, She has not only struggled hard to build her students language skills, but has even sold her own jewellery to create the kind of classroom she feels her pupils deserve.
I think it would be very cool, if someone here, started a Democratic Underground cloud-funding effort, for U.S. to send Annapurna Mohad, a blessing for her class; because others might do simiar - elsewhere.
.......I'm in to start it off some $$$

Indiana cleans up voter lists; purging 10 to 20%
According to TriStar News, Indiana voter rolls are now purged of invactive voters, purportedly to comply with state law.
Specifically
Rolls purged of invactive voters to meet state law
Vigo County trims about 10 percent; Parke County lops nearly 20 percent
http://www.tribstar.com/news/local_news/rolls-purged-of-invactive-voters-to-meet-state-law/article_5d5d90cf-ab68-56d5-8098-b806fcc6f2be.html
The emphasis is colleges and people who purportedly didn't vote since 2014 (wonder if that lists includes people who were denied their vote)!
You can bet your bottom dollar the list purges more Dems and Indies than GOP.
Just sayin.......
Steve Ballmer Dataminer website: USAFacts.org
Look out folks, former Microsoft biggie and owner of the Clippers, Steve Ballmer, is doing an Aaron Scwartz type deal with a Goverment "Facts Check" dataminer website - titled USAFacts.org.
https://twitter.com/rightbrainlaw/status/854373237681082368
How many Drivers Licenses are there? (214 million +)
Total government revenue (for 2014) $5.2 Trillion.
Number of Government employees - 24 million +
In the age of faux news and POTUS cover ups (of taxes and more), with Aaron Scwartz the target of big gov "Don't You Dare", this is a surprising enterprise.
Wonder how long it will last?
Or how long before Mr. Ballmer becomes an "interest"?

South Carolina Men Murders Women in Record Ways
As an activist against tyranny, cronyism & corruption, it is hard to alarm me; but today I'm shocked by the unthinkable.
South Carolina is a state leader in murderings of women.
As brought to my attention, there's one man, trying to make a difference, in the statistics, appalling.
S.C. man turns his horrific tragedy into activism
This is Christian Rainey's story, according to CBS News
http://www.google.com/amp/www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/after-his-entire-family-was-killed-s-c-man-takes-stand-against-domestic-violence/
South Carolina has the worst record for deadly domestic violence.
Christian Rainey, a North Charleston, South Carolina firefighter, is working to change that. He responds every day to people in crisis. But nothing will ever compare to the call he got in 2006.
"I got a phone call from my cousin telling me that I needed to fly home."
Detra Rainey, his mother, was murdered by her new husband, Michael Simmons. He also killed Rainey's four siblings.
Since then, Mr. Rainey has started activism to educate men, about domestic violence.
