Remember me



Shout out to my fellow Sag. For no reason at all, just appreciation.

Hillary Clinton

is destined for a failed disaster.

I am stating the obvious.

Contested.

It is where we are going.

I'm asking here, because this would be the place to know.

That post sounded incredibly dog-whistle to me.

Am I out of line? Is that not a snub at the fact that Bernie is Jewish, and the whole "blood libel" thing.

Was I out of line for speaking up?

The collective loss of shit - H's supporters over the Vatican trip - is epic.

Calling Bernie a "proxy of the Vatican" in one breath and berating the Pope in the other, then seeming to demand appreciation as serious commentators.

I've never seen anything like it before.

Get a hold of your damn selves.

Sex toys, Amazon to stop selling

There is a weird rumor going around that you cannot gift a sex toy even on a confirmed account, because they are trying to move away from the "sexual aid" business"

Bigotry - I denounce it, and I'm allowed to

I am allowed to disdain racism, sexism, homophobia and anti-Semitic posts when I see them.

I need nobody's permission to state that I find such slurs ugly. I do not have to attack every single post that has ever occurred to call out bigotry when it happens.

We combat bigotry when we see it if we are Democrats.

Talk about the Perfect being the enemy of the good.

Dang.

"It was clearly a staged show." - de Blasio

"It was clearly a staged show. It was a scripted show and the whole idea was to do the counter-intuitive and say, 'cautious politician time,'" de Blasio said Monday.

And it was a to the bone stupid skit to participate in.

Uh oh. I forgot about the Bill Clinton Dust up with BLM vs. Sanders handling of an anti-Semite

I know I'm pretty dense at times, but I didn't get why Hillary Clinton supporters were so mad about this post:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511696374

I said nothing about her, or actually, his campaign, just pointed out that he shut down a bigot.

Finally, 98 posts in, I got what made them so pissed. It happened around the same time that Bill Clinton excoriated a BLM supporter, and claimed they supported 13 year olds hopped up on crack.

Compared to Bernie's response to an obvious anti-Semitic trope, that doesn't look too good for Hillary's side of the fence, does it?

I didn't realize how many asses I was chapping with that. I just thought it was a cool moment that showed how calmly he discusses issues.

Bernie Sanders had some awful anti-Semitic crap hurled at him.

Bernie Sanders had anti-Semitic crap hurled at him.

http://observer.com/2016/04/bernie-sanders-berated-with-questions-about-zionist-jews-at-harlem-forum/

A Harlem man demanded Sen. Bernie Sanders explain his relationship “with your Jewish community” at an event at the iconic Apollo Theater today.

Mr. Sanders, the only Jew to have ever won a presidential primary, held the “community conversation” as part of his outreach effort to African-Americans, who so far have delivered most of their votes to Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton. After a panel discussion with singer Harry Belafonte, hip-hop personality Charlamagne Tha God, Erica Garner—the daughter of Eric Garner, who died at the hands of an NYPD officer in Staten Island in 2014—and former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner, the Vermont independent took two questions from the audience.




He handled it with grace.
