This situation (with the NV DNC) is an attempt to deter Berners and poison the well against super delegates. Stand up and call lies "Lies."

Look, responding in a defensive manner to the patently absurd claims being made right now against Sanders delegates (not supporters, but elected DELEGATES) in NV is the wrong tack to take. It legitimizes the MYTH that there was any violence at the NV convention, which there was not. The Casinos are all under 24-hour surveillance, for one thing. For another thing, there are thousands of eye-witness accounts and tons of videos that show nothing of the sort.

Respect is given; DWS and her authoritarian, hostile, aggressive, attitude, towards anyone who opposes her guarantees an angry response

Respect can only be given; DWS and her authoritarian, hostile, aggressive, attitude, towards anyone who opposes her guarantees an angry response......, for DWS and the DNC a definition of Respect:

re·spect
rəˈspekt/
noun
1. a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements.
"the director had a lot of respect for Douglas as an actor"
synonyms: esteem, regard, high opinion, admiration, reverence, deference, honor
"the respect due to a great artist"

Shouldn't someone with this track record be fired - not left in charge of anything, see below:

Liberals introduce pro-transgender legislation

Submitted by Robyn on Tue, 05/17/2016 - 2:22pm

Did you know that today is the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (sometimes known as IDAHOT)?

Canadian legislators did.

The Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, has introduced a bill today that will protect transgender people from discrimination.

Everyone deserves to live free of stigma, persecution and discrimination — no matter who they are or whom they love.

Today is about ensuring that all people — regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity — feel safe and secure and empowered to freely express themselves.

--Trudeau

You now border on farce, Markos.

So much for “unity” from you and this place.

Falling Into A Black Hole

Submitted by michelewln on Tue, 05/17/2016 - 12:51pm

I've known for a long time that I was on the edge of burnout. This week the breakdown I was trying to avoid happened. It was another morning of interrupted sleep. It was another morning of being so tired and feeling listless. The bowl of cereal I was bringing to my brother slipped out of my hands and looking at shredded wheat all over my floor in front of me I just started crying as I cleaned it up.

Need Help on TOP

Submitted by Wink on Tue, 05/17/2016 - 11:51am

I wouldn't normally ask this, but I'm on a 3 mo. T.O. from TOP, so... I need somebody's help that still has access to TOP. This is in response to Vet Wife who has a Diary up about the recent passing of viet vet Arkieboy (Harry Short) who, along with Vet Wife (and others), would frequently chime in on our live radio shows in the early days. Just a simple, "Wink sends along his condolences" would be great and much appreciated. ol' Arkieboy was quite the bird. Diary Link...

Time for the UN Monitors?

How does one contact the United Nations and get taken seriously enough to want to help us ensure fair elections?

Because this has become unacceptable. In my estimation, after this weekend's shenanigans, waiting until the convention in Philadelphia is too late. Bernie Sanders cannot handle this task and campaign at the same time. It is up to US to get the ball rolling.
