@dkmich This should really help their fund-raising.

Bye bye Democrats. The next insurgent candidate will have to be from a new party.

I don't intend to donate any money or to vote in their stupid primary.

@detroitmechworks would have had standing the way I read the Judge's opinion. He would have been the only one who could claim a specific (as opposed to a general) injury from the DNC's violation of its charter.

I'd like to see Beck appeal this, but I'm not surprised at the outcome. There was very little case law on people suing political parties based on the idea those organizations owed a fiduciary duty to voters.

Voters aren't allowed to complain, candidates aren't allowed to complain...

I guess a Corporate Sponsor might have standing to complain. So I guess we just have to convince them that the Democrats stole money from them. Seems to be the only way a trial ever gets actually RULED on nowafuckingdays.

See, you're ALLOWED to steal money and defraud the little guy. Of course, that's why the little guys need to remember their place...

Because it's not about Justice, or elections, or lies... it's keeping those ants in line.

@snoopydawg
he should have taken a stand on. INCLUDING putting the skids to him and his supporters being blamed for the Clinton Creature's loss.

was Bernie's silence on the whole rigged primary. There is no way that he didn't know about the number of people who had their party affiliation changed, kicked totally off the voting rolls, what happened at the Nevada caucus and how his supporters were treated at the convention. How he could have stayed silent when huge areas of his supporters had the lights turned off, had huge placards from Hillary's supporters that blocked them from view or they weren't allowed into the convention altogether.
The final nail was when he was asked if Hillary had won the election fair and square and he answered yes. No taking time to think about it, but an unequivocal "yes".

This is why I don't care what new group of progressive democrats are trying to accomplish, I will never vote for a democrat again. They do not deserve my vote.
Not after they insisted on running the only candidate that would lose to Trump.

My sigline has never been more true than after what the democrats did to us.
Starting with the Empty Suit.

@snoopydawg

Makes me wonder how much of Bernie's run perhaps was to let those infiltrating/running government against the public interest show the American people exactly what pathetically venal and corrupt inimical enemies of democracy, the American people and the country itself the two Trade-Off Corporate/billionaire 'political parties' and paymasters really were... Given the opportunity, they certainly - very blatantly and thoroughly - proved that.

The problem is it's looking even more as though the wrong sort of revolution would be needed to try to get the corruption out of the US government in all related areas, which doesn't seem any more likely to end well for anyone than would continued passive submission...

@Mark from Queens I just heard on the radio Trump has pardoned sheriff Joe Arpaio in light of his " selfless public service " what a fucking joke !

Most of us know he defended some of the biggest national cases from the 1960's on. He basically concluded that the law is a farce, intended and used to protect rich white people and their property. And, I would add, cops.

After the farce of the Chicago 8 conspiracy trial, which they heroically and creatively challenged, he said flat out that the law in the United States was "all a living lie." He'd seen enough throughout his career: the lies, deception and conspiratorial nature of the government to crush dissent, liberty and truth.

I have absolutely no faith in the U.S. Justice system. Yeah, there may be an aberration here and there. But overall, like every institution fronting for the Stars & Stripes, it's a sleazy, corrupt, captured entity beholden to their donors.

Even the fucking black Attorney General couldn't indict the cold-blooded murderer cops for the senseless deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

Wall St banks dealing in robo-signing fraudulent mortgages, laundering drug cartel money, fixing global interest rates through LIBOR, creating more and more esoteric scams that are nothing more than business model of leaving some dupe holding an empty bag while they get filthy rich; and corporations permitted to merge and acquire more and more further consolidating their monopolies and destroying competition/diversity - face no charges or are not regulated. The law is a limp, languishing dress-up for a dead and dying democracy.

Is there anything left to believe in?

They've got to do everything they can to have cases like these never see the light of day, or the jig is up.

If people really dwelled on that for a while, that the cornerstone of society, the so-called, highly-touted whenever very serious people get very serious, "rule of law," is a complete and utter lie - then what would be holding back a serious revolution against such a fraudulent system?

Count me in for the street theater too.

The Occupy Tax Dodgers are good example of how its done:
