2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumJust over half an hour until Bernie gives his
talk at the Vatican conference. It's scheduled for 4 PM Rome time. I wonder if it will be live-streamed. I hope his flight went well and he arrived rested.

(146,329 posts)I would be interested, though, in hearing what he says at this Vatican conference. It's possible there will be a transcript available, or maybe Senator Sanders will release his prepared comments after the conference.
Either way, I'd like to read what he had to say there.

(2,353 posts)Shade = coming for Sanders over his Vatican trip.
Salty = being extra envious/jealous of Sanders for going to the Vatican; and stewing in that reality. Throwing salt on a wound just makes it hurt more dear
It's Millenial talk, okurrrrr

(38,437 posts)We got the snide aspects of your post. We also noted the empty content.
MineralMan
(146,329 posts)I'm an old fart. If you want to communicate with me, you'll have to use Standard English, I suppose.
Actually, though, I will be watching for a transcript of Bernie's remarks today. I hope they are released soon.

(1,716 posts)I wanted to add, I really want to see it too. I want to see him in his element and what ideas he might share on how to combat poverty world wide. Even if he's simply standing up to support another's ideas it's something that I really would like to see. (I actually want to see the entire set of speakers - but would settle for just Bernie)
MineralMan
(146,329 posts)to the media soon. So we'll all be able to read what he said at the Vatican. It's a closed conference, so there probably won't be any video available of his remarks to the attendees.
I'll keep an eye out for the transcript and will post a link to it if I find it.

(38,437 posts)That's your definition of profundity?
I responded to you in kind. If you want depth and wisdom in the responses to your comments, avoid saying something shallow and pedestrian.

(55,745 posts)Doing the bidding of Big Oil in Kuwait, Ukraine, Libya and wherever else a buck can be made by "extraction"?
Protecting the Banksters of Wall Street and Switzerland and then getting money out of mind from them?
Feel free to argue my shallowness.
Buzz Clik
(38,437 posts)As far as doing the bidding of big oil: how do you think they're enjoying their self-inflicted crash in oil prices? And what made that happen? Fracking, which you folks also whine about endlessly. Hm. So, do you think that Hillary's "doing the bidding of big oil" also included tanking their economies? Hell no.
Thanks for playing "How to Stymie a Socialist."
have the last word. We're done here.

(55,745 posts)What I posted are facts that anyone can check and see for themselves. That's why I use links and name sources so much. It makes it easy to see where I got my information. It also makes it easy to correct if wrong.
So, where's the mistake? PNAC?
Ms. Clinton kept Ms. Nuland gainfully employed at State. As our woman in Ukraine, Victoria Nuland, is married to PNAC co-founder Robert Kagan
Robert Kagan's brother is Frederick Kagan
Frederick Kagan's spouse is Kimberly Kagan
Brilliant people, big ideas, etc. The thing is, that's a lot of PNAC. And the PNAC approach to international relations means more wars without end for profits without cease, among other things detrimental to democracy, peace and justice.
Neocon Kagan Endorses Hillary Clinton
Exclusive: Hillary Clintons cozy ties to Washingtons powerful neocons have paid off with the endorsement of Robert Kagan, one of the most influential neocons. But it also should raise questions among Democrats about what kind of foreign policy a President Hillary Clinton would pursue, writes Robert Parry.
By Robert Parry
ConsortiumNews, February 25, 2016
Prominent neocon Robert Kagan has endorsed Democrat Hillary Clinton for president, saying she represents the best hope for saving the United States from populist billionaire Donald Trump, who has repudiated the neoconservative cause of U.S. military interventions in line with Israels interests.
In a Washington Post op-ed published on Thursday, Kagan excoriated the Republican Party for creating the conditions for Trumps rise and then asked, So what to do now? The Republicans creation will soon be let loose on the land, leaving to others the job the party failed to carry out.
Then referring to himself, he added, For this former Republican, and perhaps for others, the only choice will be to vote for Hillary Clinton. The [Republican] party cannot be saved, but the country still can be.
While many of Kagans observations about the Republican tolerance and even encouragement of bigotry are correct, the fact that a leading neocon, a co-founder of the infamous Project for the New American Century, has endorsed Clinton raises questions for Democrats who have so far given the former New York senator and Secretary of State mostly a pass on her pro-interventionist policies.
The fact is that Clinton has generally marched in lock step with the neocons as they have implemented an aggressive regime change strategy against governments and political movements that dont toe Washingtons line or that deviate from Israels goals in the Middle East. So she has backed coups, such as in Honduras (2009) and Ukraine (2014); invasions, such as Iraq (2003) and Libya (2011); and subversions such as Syria (from 2011 to the present) all with various degrees of disastrous results.

So, feel free to show where I'm wrong. I'll be happy to apologize and correct the error.

(146,329 posts)Those will probably be on the news later on.
I didn't hear anything about Bernie's trip on this morning's CBS news, though.
Again, I hope that a transcript of Bernie's remarks at the Vatican will be released later today. I will read them if they are.

The Pope's bodyguards descend en masse on him and Sanders wakes up the next morning in a coffee shop without knowing how he got there.

So then I'm right about being wrong.[/center][/font][hr]
