church's stand on LGBT issues. Or something like that.

I am sure that is exactly what Hillary and bill had in mind when they invited him to that Clinton Foundation gala. An invitation that the Pope turned down. Actually, I think they just wanted bragging rights, a photo op, and what would look like the Pope's endorsement of Hillary. I could be wrong, but the level of sheer nasty ugliness over this makes me suspect I am correct.

The weather-vane constantly shifts between "Bernie can't get anything done" to "Why doesn't Bernie fix everything wrong in this world - years ago?". Like, IMO, Hillary doesn't try and profit and/or pander from everything wrong in this world. Oh, and - does this sound familiar? - Bernie could have run for president and started a movement his whole life, but ISN'T IT STRANGE THAT HE WAITED UNTIL OBAMA WAS PRESIDENT?????? Echoes of Snowden. Nothing about what they are trying to do, just surety that one president is the center of the fucking universe.
