Hello!

Hello friends! I just wanted to stop by and say hello to everyone over here who doesn't venture to the other place anymore! I miss you but certainly understand your reasonings, and hope you understand my sticking with what we started over there (aka: being a thorn in the side...).

I do encourage you to keep visiting the http://bernienewsroundup.com/ website (though not always as update to my dkos profile), we do have other writers contributing who I think you will find like minded! Feel free to sign up and contribute as well (if you have issues contact me and I'll get you fixed on up), and soon I will be opening The Progressive Wing and hope to collaborate with you all on the journey forward!

Thanks for all that you are all doing!

And, nice to see you posting here. I just can't go back there. I supported you and read every BNR until the TO shortly before the "edict". I can't stomach the thought of being there again, but I do, as I have always, appreciate your dedication and resolve! Do what you have to do until it's over and I so look forward to seeing you as a regular contributor here and elsewhere. You're a remarkable individual and you have my full heartfelt support!!!

The BNR is about all I come there for, anymore! If I venture in and OPOL has a diary up, I will tip and rec and if anyone here gives us a link to one of their musings, I tip and rec. The atmosphere there has changed and does not feel welcoming. I can't say enough for the folks here, so I'm thrilled to see you venture in now and again. I'm looking forward to continuing to support you and your efforts, as well. You've been a real leader in the revolution. I hold you in high esteem. A million thanks to what you are doing for all of us, everyday.

Have a beautiful day!!! Smile

Of course you do realize that you and BNR are the sole reason some of us still go over there. Thank you for your tireless work.

By the way, Liepar, your handle has always intrigued me. I think I may have figured it out:

Don't worry, I'm not about to doxx you.

Here goes: Ok, people, what campaign has LieparDestin worked so hard to cover for us?

The PRESIDENTIAL campaign

Now, if you anargram LIEPARDESTIN, what does it spell?

PRESIDENTIAL

Thanks for what you do. Really. How much in campaign contributions to Bernie are you responsible for?

I remember him explaining his name down in the comments, but can't recall the story. But my thin grasp at it is that it was french for destiny and liberty? I bet RA remembers, or maybe LD will peek back in and tell us again.

“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

even I didn't know that! How funny. The name actually came from way back when I was a teen and being the nerd I am was playing some online dungeons and dragons style games and needed a 'character name'... after playing around with different variations of the fate and destiny in language translators I ended up with 'lie par destin' or 'Bound By Fate'. I just kind of stuck with it from there.

and had to log in for the first time in months. Read through the diary and got just a little emotional since so much was about Purdue and IU. It's hard to believe I've been gone from there almost 2 years now. I scrolled through the Rec diaries, Saved diaries, and Recent. Nothing. That place is going to hell in a hand basket.

I hope you find this place as comforting as I have. I don't post much but I read as much as I can(to my detriment sometimes). I have trouble reading yours' and OPOL's posts at gos due to constant reloading. And strangely(for me at least) it takes quite an effort to rec or tip either of you. Jerky software?
Anyway, I look forward to reading you here.now if we could get BiPM come to the blue slide. . .

I too am glad to see you. I wish you were coming here instead of doing your own blog, but I understand that it is something you have had in the works. I often wonder why the smaller liberal blogs don't join together. I can think of five offhand that might benefit. Economies of scale and all that, but I suppose everyone has a reason.

Thanks for leaving a link. Be sure to poke us often. I avoid dkos, but if I do blow in, I always look for you. As I told OPOL, I hate it that you, OPOL and TomP have to put up with all of their guff. I think the place is a propaganda machine and snake pit. I participate as seldom as I watch MSNBC and Fox News. Take care LD and thank you for all the live blogs and BNRs.

Thanks for dropping in to say "Hi". First thing I do most mornings is my one visit to the DailyLost to read the BNR, OPOL, TomP, and subir(?).

Your positive nature and inspiring approach to telling Bernie's daily story is uplifting and a highlight of my day. Thanks for all the work you do. Please let us know how to help your progressivewing project move forward.

I'll say again we need a progressive one stop media platform. The material is out there, but as you know you have to look for it. Here's an example of a TYT from recently that I think is pertinent. Thanks again for all you do!

That's kind of going to be what I do at The Progressive Wing... basically an expansion from being Bernie centered to focusing on like minded candidates and causes and compiling these kinds of videos, etc. I'll certainly do my part in posting that kind of stuff here as well!

Hooray for FBI Director Comey! Hooray for Judge Sullivan! Checks and balances, let's hope the system still works. This is why Bernie stays in the race until the convention: he will be a viable option as it becomes clear that she will be indicted. I sure hope folks are still working hard for Bernie. It is all still in front of him. And us.

Enjoy your evening, my friend,

“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”

and noticed a few people seemed to be butthurt over Jane's suggestion that the FBI move ahead with the investigation of Hillary's emails...it benefits the entire political process to have the situation settled one way or another before the general election and preferably before the convention. We need to defang as many Republican attacks on Clinton as possible if she's going to be the nominee...and if there's a reason to not make her the nominee then that needs to come out ASAP.

I flash back to 2008 and John Edwards, whom I supported. Suppose he'd gotten more traction and had been in the position Clinton is now when the out-of-wedlock baby shit hit the fan. That would have sent the entire process into disarray -- just made for a McCain victory, perhaps without the pressure to pick The Wasilla Whiner as his running mate.

I try to get over their just to support you and a couple of the other "real" progressives but it's getting harder and harder as there are some on that site that have a knack for making my blood boil, lol!

I don't know if it is possible or even allowed, but do you think you could start cross posting your BNR over here for your C99Peeps?

We love you and your stuff LD and are grateful to have you here though even if you can't. Smile

I am excited about how quickly C99P is attracting some of the best and brightest and most passionate of the progressive base from the GOS.

This site, and the movement, are going places. Smile

I can't be there much longer. I get so angry, I think I make even less sense than usual. That energy is wasted arguing, instead of doing anything positive. I didn't want to feel pushed out of a place I put 10 years into, but it seems to be more and more a propaganda outlet for Hillary, and less trusted documentation about anything. There is only one writer left on the front page that I trust. I'll always read MB's stuff.
If there isn't something by you, or TomP, IntegGrity, and the obvious others, there really is no point.

I don't know how you continue to keep it cool all the time, but thank you for it. I have booked marked your website. I'll visit that.

Good to see you here. As you probably already know, the BNR is one of the only reasons I continue stopping by TOP. I love seeing the daily updates, stories, and comments. I will continue to rec and tip, with the donations as I'm able (wish it was more!). Power to you, and thanks for all you do - we need some thorns to stick around. ; )

I read your BNR every day. On NR for a week, cuz "authority" determined I rec'ed a comment which referred to "shilling." Smile
So elena showed me how to "rec" = +1
You know when there's a "code" of how to rec on GOS for those on NR , it's gotten very bad.

OPOL has a beautiful diary up today too. http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/4/28/1521074/-May-your-dreams-never...
really beautiful, very personal, and would love to have it given the love OPOL deserves. Know many don't go to GOS, but this is a very special diary. Maybe he'll post it here too.

Looking forward to Progressive Wing.
ALSO, hope you're feeling better.

Hope to see you more Smile

for the last four days. Thus I have been unable to T & R the BNRs or anything else worthwhile (TomP, OPOL, etc).

I never trolled in the Hillary safe diaries or posted obnoxious comments, so I am mystified why I deserved a Timeout in the first place. Apparently something to do with uprating...

I am amazed that so many others there are able to troll obnoxiously with NO consequences. My troubles seemed to start when I commented that I am a 63 year old white woman who totally supports Bernie Sanders.
