A choice video clip of one of our "democratic" elite: When they say it's over, it's over!

This is the state of our "democracy" today: a party hack screaming into the microphone amidst a chorus of boos, declaring victory, and then running away.



I don't know about you, but I think the democratic party is about to implode.

After tonite, I don't think that is possible.

Expect more of the same if Hillary is the non-democratic Democratic candidate. If this is what Hillary will do for 2 more delegates... What would she do for 1 more war???

Amid the bread and circuses which distract us daily, there are sometimes moments when the curtain is pulled back and the illusion of democracy is shattered.

This was one of them.

We always are on the lookout for cartoon-character villains, but so much wrongdoing is done by bland bureaucrats with glassy-eyed stares.

Take note of this and then look at ALL the posts and calls for Bernie to halt his campaign BEFORE the convention...

Imagine this scenario at DEM convention, imaging this being on ALL the news stations, this is what HRC and her supporters fear, as they should...

I look forward to convention, you?

The corruption is sloughing off in great greasy slabs. This imperial act was followed up by a phalanx of armed brown shirts guarding the stage. I'm not sure they can get more graphic with their intent. How dare the lumpenproles forget their place.
