Thank you, I can no longer stomach this crap. I have seen this topic come up here I don't know how many times over the last few weeks and wondered if one this was possibly different. Nope, just people who need to have Bernie and his supporters to bat around because their person isn't making much news and it probably hurts a bit. I noticed that when she does there is little said, mostly agreeing so I really do not get it. Anymore I use my Ignore list again. Did not want to but there is so much bad going on anyway that watching this kind of disgusting refusal to accept help from someone who is out doing the work is just more than I can take. It never makes any sense and rarely has a point other than to bat people around. None of us need that in our lives, it is meaningless blather from unhappy people. Another one bites the dust.

Nope, they don't because he didn't actually say that. Agschmid May 2017 #6

Exactly. It's ridiculous. beam me up scottie May 2017 #7

It's ridiculous to suppose there was no collusion. He ASKED them for hacks, he GAVE them bettyellen May 2017 #44

Then you'll agree it's a good thing Bernie didn't say that either. beam me up scottie May 2017 #46

Senators are absolutely speculating about collusion and I agree! Waters, Cummings, Schumer have all bettyellen May 2017 #51

So that's a no, senators are not claiming there was definitely collusion. beam me up scottie May 2017 #55

That's a Breitbart headline you're trying to sell here, LOL. bettyellen May 2017 #57

Let me clarify "problem" Jim Lane May 2017 #155

Either Sanders knew Mello's position lapucelle May 2017 #156

You have absolutely no basis for your smear of Sanders. Jim Lane May 2017 #157

Then why not at least support Ossoff against a field of Republicans? lapucelle May 2017 #158

You imputed bad motives to Bernie without evidence. That's a smear. Jim Lane May 2017 #159

Saying that people (including politicians) lapucelle May 2017 #160

Of course politicians weigh various factors. Jim Lane May 2017 #161

Sanders wasn't helping Ossoff at all. lapucelle May 2017 #48

Nice post! KPN May 2017 #86

Thanks -- but Bernie and others said it --I just repeat their words. Akamai May 2017 #92

Yes, but one reason they're critical is that there's less consensus than you suggest Jim Lane May 2017 #91

Good point but I don't know why the most exemplary Pelosi disagrees on Akamai May 2017 #93

Yes, we should keep pushing ALL of them. Jim Lane May 2017 #102
