Fuck NO, BS.. No Silver Lining in Orlando.. how

could you possibly be so insensitive!?

This is how you "come together for Orlando" when you were MIA..

Our Democratic Party is the Party of Senator Chris Murphy who Filibustered to get a vote on banning Assault Rifles.. there better not be anyone @ our Convention.. dissing that party.. someone who couldn't even bother to show up for the historic Filibuster.

Chris Murphy
✔ ?@ChrisMurphyCT
I am proud to announce that after 14+ hours on the floor, we will have a vote on closing the terror gap & universal background checks

This is how you honor the Victims of Orlando.. not by tweeting something inane about a "silver lining"

US Senator salary: $174,000. Budget for hiring staff: $3 million +. But he's doing a podcast instead of legislating. https://twitter.com/oldladydem/status/743504505505976320

Look, the revolution began in 2008. Sorry you're mad about being 8 years late. We'll keep it moving along with or without you.

Meet Al Giordano, the Man Who Wants to Take Bernie Down

Nearly zero odds of defeating an entrenched Washington politician? Check.

Little chance of Democratic Party support? Double check! A decades-old history of lefty activism that casts him as a hippie-turned-politico? Check, check, and check again.

So why would he do it? Because in Giordano’s view, and that of his social media supporters, Bernie is losing ugly and hurting Democrats’ chances of prevailing against Donald Trump in November.

“I mean, what haven’t they touched?” Giordano asks, peering at me via a 6-by-4 inch Skype window from his home in Mexico City. “What part of the Obama coalition have they not alienated? It’s like they want to erase the coalition
.”

Wow! We were just talking about this last night.. and now this Great News!

Second, Chan Hodges noted that Gabbard has repeatedly criticized and mocked the Obama Administration for not saying we’re at war with “Islamic extremism”–something even Sanders opposes. “While I believe that no elected official should be above critique –lest we devolve into a cult of personality over substance –our district elected President Obama with a 70% majority, and a respectful discussion in an appropriate forum reflects both our district and Hawaiian values,” Chan Hodges noted.

gabbard isn't Progressive enough for Kaua'i, either!

What an awesome find, HS!

I will work for her!



I emailed gabbard back and said I didn't want to hear from them anymore after she'd been whining about President Obama for months.. and then she endorsed BS.. of course.. the anti-President Obama.

I think she's a jealous war monger.

It is not enough to simply beat Trump. He must be destroyed thoroughly. His kind must not rise again.

Brilliant Bryan, Thank you! I'm puting that in my journal..

Bryan

19. I'll write him a thank-you note

Thank you for driving a wedge between liberal constituencies who would normally be able to find common ground.

Thank you for insinuating that Hillary Clinton is corrupt with nothing to back it up.

Thank you for using your platform with young people to advance a silly, reductive narrative of victimization and scorn.

Thank you for scoffing at the gains of the Obama years.

Thank you for taking a inchoate hunger for more progressive governance and responding with a "revolution" that consisted of whining, hectoring, and blowing through donors' money like it had an expiration date.

Thank you for your bitter, graceless refusal to admit to the defeat of your campaign.

It could happen.. this is such an historical election in so many ways..

I love seeing Hillary's pic up there on tv with "Decision 2016"!

"The first one there gets the best spot"! they're on it.. that's our Hillary!

"She's not going to be an easy person to beat and she's not going to be a push over
".. coming from a repub strategist.

"Hitting airwave July and August"

"Throw out the history books.. throw out the script"..
Hillary will be making so much Herstory!

Thank you, William.. that was really exciting to see.. like we've gone into the GE Portal Now!
