[Cross post from Daily Kos]
There’s a diary published yesterday which reaches various conclusions from Bernie’s interview with the editorial board of the NY Daily News. I believe those conclusions are largely wrong.
Let me start with a section of this diary I find truly remarkable:
Okay, too many times, Clinton supporters and so-called experts keep telling everyone about the math for the democratic nomination- number of received votes, the number of super delegates and the “insurmountable” lead that Hillary has in delegates.
When someone asks me why I’m for Bernie rather than Hillary, I say it has to do with the Six Trillion Dollar Mistake.
It’s difficult to understand a figure as large as $6,000,000,000,000.
6 Trillion would buy us one of these four nice things:
When a team is preparing for a championship football game, do they practice by telling the practice squad to wear blindfolds and earplugs; then celebrate whipping the blindfolded teams ass? No. They practice by playing against a well prepared squad so their mistakes can be corrected before the big game.
Does a heavyweight boxer, preparing for the championship bout, choose a featherweight as a sparring partner?
Sorry, I lied. Sadly, this is not breaking news, in fact, it is actually very old news, but I really wish it was.
In 2008, Jed Lewison ("The Jed Report") — Senior DailyKos Policy Editor and Editor of DailyKosTV — former communications director for Sen. Maria Cantwell — put together the following video of Hillary Clinton.
It is rather telling and poignantly illustrative.
Read the story and weep:
FBI Director James Comey said Tuesday he does not see a need for urgency in completing the ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton's email server. But he did say that he is staying "close to this one to make sure we have the resources to do it competently," the Niagara-Gazette reported Tuesday.
For many years now, I've been complicit in perpetrating a form of discrimination I thought was just ok.
Thanks to the Supreme Court of the United States, and their many allies in the House and Senate, I now understand the truth.
I can no longer discriminate against Corporate Americans.
The final major foreign policy difference between President Obama and President Bush has been cast aside.
Self-definition as an externally-derived commodity.
Wise up, folks. We're all alone out there and tomorrow we're going out there again.

Maybe a banning or time-out or whatever is coming next. Who knows?
