adjacent to my neighbor's waste bin.

I was so very afraid, I didn't accept the carrot cake she baked me on my birthday.

Okay, yeah, I did accept it, and it was delicious.

This has to be the silliest, scooped from the bottom of the barrel, bullshitingest I'm inventing words for it inane plonck worthy doo doo.

So have they been contacted by authorities? ibegurpard May 2016 #1

That is the question no one seems to want to touch. cherokeeprogressive May 2016 #16

Agreed. bvf May 2016 #120

Good questions. The type of harassment she is describing is AGAINST THE LAW. mhatrw May 2016 #101

Bernie needs to drop out. trueblue2007 May 2016 #2

Or at least start trying to control his people... scscholar May 2016 #95

Why? Because a Clinton surrogate claims she is receiving death threats, but will not call the police mhatrw May 2016 #102

What if there was a lot of fraud - for HRC? Baobab May 2016 #124

Republican Black Ops Scientific May 2016 #3

I wish that was true. DemocratSinceBirth May 2016 #6

Quite likely. Or it was DWS calling her. Just for the same reason, and to cause Bernie trouble. nt silvershadow May 2016 #26

There's always a conspiracy. Metric System May 2016 #39

Or satire, to illustrate how we honestly have no way to pin this on Bernie's folks. But I see silvershadow May 2016 #43

Bullshit. Only smears no proof Berners were responsible. snagglepuss May 2016 #30

You have the right to your own opinion Nonhlanhla May 2016 #55

You guys are ones concocting bullshit stories. snagglepuss May 2016 #60

It has been proven Nonhlanhla May 2016 #66

Did RS print names? Since RS had no problem finding these people, the police should have found them snagglepuss May 2016 #69

Here is a link Nonhlanhla May 2016 #77

The numbers were released apparently. moriah May 2016 #78

What about the ones that law enforcement have contacted? frylock May 2016 #37

I don't know. What has the Secret Service and the FBI told you? TwilightZone May 2016 #42

Terroristic threatening has been the name for death threats in law for ages. moriah May 2016 #74

Doesn't matter; Sanders doesn't need proof to issue a clear condemnation anigbrowl May 2016 #125

I heard on the late news last night that the FBI was looking into the threatening phone calls. anotherproletariat May 2016 #9

She's right that the people who made those calls kiva May 2016 #10

If it really happened they belong in jail, or at least ThePhilosopher04 May 2016 #12

What I don't believe is her unmitagated gall in thinking kiva May 2016 #13

Right? They are conflating everything about what happened about the dissent and silvershadow May 2016 #28

Of course he should have apologised, just like any other leader would have. procon May 2016 #44

So did I miss Clinton's apology kiva May 2016 #65

Well, of course, that naturally cancels out Sanders behaving like a low class jerk. procon May 2016 #67

Just like when Obama was supposed to apologize because a preacher said something people didn't like elehhhhna May 2016 #89

That's genius. procon May 2016 #130

She should turn off her text messaging and only accept voice votes. mhatrw May 2016 #115
