#1) Let's get one thing out of the way right now:
The primary was rigged against more than Bernie. Even if you hate Bernie so much that you won't even concede obvious facts, rigging a primary hurts all the candidates AND the voters.
Now i’m Really wondering about all this. She’s not been caught in any whoppers thus far BUT *this* is pretty out there. Out there as in:

Donna Brazile: I considered replacing Clinton with Biden as 2016 Democratic nominee
Hey, happy Saturday! We are back in Santa Fe from our camping/kayaking trip to Lake Powell and Zion, catching up on chores.
Took a minute to read the headlines and some of the essays here on C99, and I just read something which surprised me. To be honest, it stunned me.
Sanders campaign document reveals fundraising relationship with DNC
A joint fundraising agreement between the Bernie Sanders campaign and the Democratic National Committee -- obtained Friday by ABC News and signed at the start of the primary campaign for the 2016 presidential election -- does not include any language about coordinating on strategic decisions over hiring or budget, unlike a fundraising memo between the Hillary Clinton team and the DNC.
I ran across an interesting list over at the Center For Media & Democracy from a Buzz Feed article:
ALEC’S CORPORATE SPONSORS TOP NATION’S LAWBREAKER LIST

This is hard to deny. What really irks me is how in the Hell could cheated Sanders supporters ever imagine being screwed so blatantly by EVERY-FUCKING-BODY in the damn party?

Memo Reveals Details of Hillary Clinton-DNC Deal
Snowing at the moment, but I've just received the latest shot from the Trubble telescope. Here we see the corruption and darkest recesses of the galaxy DNC. Apparently, ethics and legality are of very little concern in this dank, rank and generally mank part of the universe. The hole left of center is where the money gets passed through.
As major newsrooms all over the world continue to hemorrhage reporters and coverage, alternative news media on the web have filled some of the void. One such niche for some has been to focus on covering local news and lifestyle. That's what Gothamist and DNAInfo were doing successfully.
Both sites were owned by, (surprise), another RW oligarch, which is often the case for sectors across the board in our "free market" capitalist country. This guy is the Ameritrade CEO, whose family owns the Chicago Cubs and who himself has donated money to Donald Trump.
