Beautiful piano player and his voice is magical!.. he left us way too soon.. it brings

tears to my eyes.. the lyrics are sooo beautiful.

Just what I needed right now.. and it's your party.

I haven't heard this in so long.. Now I'm in a puddle of tears.. it's beautiful~

I'm going to put it in my journal so I can remember to play it when I need to relax and enjoy the beauty of Donny Hathaway's soul music.

Life sure does change on a dime.. one minute you're goin' along and the next you're crying because the music is so beautiful. I know I keep saying that word.. lol

Well, nice

lovemydog.. I can see why you wanted to celebrate it in the AA Group.. as you say: "So many welcoming, intelligent, fun people.."

Now I'm honored to hear I was your first online friend here.. that's what I like most about discussing politics and the ways of the world.. the friends I've met over the years. It would be no fun to just post and not have friends to share the good and the bad news with.

Hawaii is such a unique part of Mother Nature in our Country.. but, I've lived all over the US.. in the mountains, the desert, the plains, and the ocean in Cal.. and I miss them all.. except maybe the plains.

Mahalo for such an entertaining party!

Ms. Clinton is paying a price for attempting to inject a modicum of policy nuance into a discussion

with two opponents, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland governor Martin O’Malley, who are trailing her and have nothing to lose by spouting undiluted populism"

Fuck yeah! 'Cuse my cussing, DM M..

Smart man, Ruben Galego! Mahalo Historic!

"He calls Clinton “a progressive who is fighting for immigration reform, for a higher minimum wage, for campaign finance reform, for more labor rights, for broader access to healthcare, for health rights for women, for LGBT rights, for more affordable education . . . and just about anything else you could name on any progressive’s wish list.”

But Alan Krueger, the co-author of that famous fast food employment study and a former adviser to

the Obama administration, isn't so sure. He supports Hillary Clinton's plan to raise the minimum wage to $12 per hour."

"This is particularly important because O'Malley and Sanders are proposing a national $15-per-hour minimum wage. Setting a $15 minimum wage in San Francisco or New York is a different proposition than doing the same thing in Arkansas or West Virginia."

Feel good shyte.. no big picture.

snips from your link, Maggie.. thank you.

Good Grief yes.. this needs to be mentioned.. thought the same thing.

Read somewhere that it wasn't wise for him to even bring up "shouting" again since he's the one doing all the shouting.

But, you're so right.. people are dying from gun violence and BS wants to give his stump speech again.. and, oh enough with the "shouting" about gun violence.

bernie's been busted about saying he's a Longtime Champion of Marriage Equality

"Bernie Sanders Claims He’s a Longtime Champion of Marriage Equality. It’s Just Not True."

snip//

And as recently as 2006, Sanders opposed marriage equality for his adopted home state of Vermont. The senator may have evolved earlier than his primary opponents. But the fact remains that, in the critical early days of the modern marriage equality movement, Sanders was neutral at best and hostile at worst.

Ten years later, Sanders took a similarly cautious approach to same-sex marriage. In 2006, he took a stand against same-sex marriage in Vermont, stating that he instead endorsed civil unions. Sanders told reporters that he was “comfortable” with civil unions, not full marriage equality. (To justify his stance, Sanders complained that a battle for same-sex marriage would be too “divisive.”) At the time, he also opposed a federal anti-gay-marriage amendment—but so did his Republican opponent for the Senate seat, Richard Tarrant, who also supported civil unions. With a wide lead in the polls and little at stake, Sanders declined to differentiate himself from his opponent by taking the lead on gay rights.

Earlier in his political career, Sanders was even more indifferent toward gay rights: As mayor of Burlington in 1990, Sanders told an interviewer that LGBT rights were not a “major priority” for him. Asked if he would support a bill to protect gays from job discrimination, Sanders responded, “probably not.” That was 25 years ago. Sanders has, no doubt, come a long way since then: The senator endorsed Vermont’s successful Marriage Equality Act in 2009 and has cheered the Supreme Court’s marriage rulings. And he is co-sponsoring the Equality Act, a sweeping federal LGBT rights bill that advocacy groups place high on their post-marriage agenda.

He acts like he doesn't think people can check on his history.. same with his saying he "didn't work against President Obama when it's all out there and People are noticing.. especially the President's Black Coalition.

I can see why you don't trust him.. you're not the one who's "lying" as that BS fan proclaims.
