This guy seems nice
Submitted by Robyn on Mon, 05/23/2016 - 2:26pmRobert Jeffress is pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas. If he were not a "man of God, ", we would probably be tempted to say he seems to have a bit of trouble with the placement of his foot, vis-a-vis his mouth. Maybe the "if" should be removed.

Submitted by Alligator Ed on Mon, 05/23/2016 - 1:36pmSeems like the Department of Justice just can't seem to avoid stepping in crap of its own making. First they were tardy looking into Hillary's email fiasco, of which there was knowledge as far back as 2013.
Then Loretta Lynch refuses to appoint a special prosecutor in the Hillary emails.
Third, DOJ allowed the entire correspondence of Clinton IT guru, Brian Pagliano, to disappear without a trace from State Dept files.

I Feel So Guilty!
Submitted by jimpost on Mon, 05/23/2016 - 12:32pmIs it just me? Could it be "just me?" How can this happen?
I read an essay. I like a comment. I give it a thumbs up.
I'm the first one to do so.
And what do I see there in front of me? A little note that says, "Just you voted." And I feel lost and alone.
The Color Purple
Submitted by pfiore8 on Mon, 05/23/2016 - 12:24pm
Is it possible (if Sanders does not get the nomination) to convince progressives in RED STATES to vote for or write-in Sanders or Jill Stein and garner enough votes to begin the process of turning Red States and Blue States to the color purple?

Because our earth cannot take any more of this nonsense
Submitted by vl baker on Mon, 05/23/2016 - 6:09amThere are so many good reasons to support Bernie, but IMO the greatest is his understanding of the crisis of climate change and his commitment to address it with urgency.
Clinton is so blinded by her greed (and her donations from the fossil fuel industry), that she is unable to give the needed response to the greatest threat facing humanity.
