Mike Gravel Endorses Tulsi Gabbard — and Bernie Sanders
Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel may have left the race for president, but he’s not going away.
After he endorsed Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders Tuesday, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard’s presidential campaign said Wednesday he had endorsed her bid, and released a statement from him.
Jerry Garcia was born on August 1 and died on August 9, and that period, those nine days, are widely known to deadheads as The Days Between. This is such a day, the last one for this year.
This is some of the backstory; I’d high-jacked one of my own recent threads when I’d seen this evil news on Twitter by Sameera Khan, as I must have written a dozen diaries on Kashhmir and the genocidaire Modi’s failure to hold a self-determination plebiscite over the past several years, among his many other dark deeds perpetrated on his own citizens.
‘India to build Israeli style “settlements” in Kashmir’, Ayesha Alam, crescent international (a few bits):
“The people of Kashmir have suffered decades of Indian military occupation and aggression including rape, torture and mass killings. Now the Hindu fascist Bharatiya Janata Party plans to build Israeli-style settlements for Hindus in Kashmir.

I just wanted to point you to this discussion between The RealNews network's Mark Steiner and BBC's Mike Wendling about 4 Chan and 8 Chan.
As I never understood any of that, I found this quite informative. Here is the video and it was very necessary for me to have the transcript of it, which you find at the RealNews site.

UPDATE: Tulsi's new unique donor count is at 157,045, again with an internal goal of reachin 160,000 by this upcoming Sunday.
If by chance she does get the required 4 qualifying polls by Aug. 28, you can bet the unique donor count for any debates after October will be a lot higher. This is why they continue to pursue increasing this number.

Today's Monmouth Iowa poll has Tulsi at--1%.
The Trump Administration has hit Venezuela with a harsh "Cuban-style" embargo, and already it has familiar results.
Like the 60 years of policy failure with Cuba, all talk of reform or regime change in Venezuela came to an immediate halt.
They just crushed three wheelchairs!
Polls show that Tulsi only had a modest gain from her debate performance.
However, Tulsi's body-slam of Harris left a big mark.

USA was having trouble
What a sad, sad branding
Needed the right leader to restore

Where, oh, where was she?
Where could that strongindependentwomanwhototallymadeonherown be?

These men claim to be religious leaders, spiritual guides, moral authorities. They are addressed as “His Eminence.” The man who appoints and promotes them is addressed as “Holy Father” and his government is the “Holy See.”
Today, The Economist/YouGov came out with another national poll--non-qualifying, of course--where Tulsi scored 3%. This was a national poll, keep in mind. This was an Aug. 3-6 poll (see page 200):
This is 6th place in the overall list of candidates, and up from 2% in the same poll on July 31.
