Let's all just consider this statement. The supposed eyewitness testimony of someone who is not here is supposed to "Trump" actual video footage.
This is our media in America.
Maddow retreated only a bit by having Ralston on to say that even though he had not seen the chairs thrown, other eyewitnesses have told him the video is wrong.
And if THIS doesn't read as prescient:
"Myers’ observation may prove prophetic. As one of Nevada’s most influential political reporters, Ralston’s coverage of political campaigns has the potential to significantly influence their outcome. The question is whether his integrity can survive his multiple failures to disclose his relationship to a candidate he has done nothing but cheerlead." http://watchdog.org/178994/top-reporter-failed-disclose-ties-dem-ag-cand...
read Kos' screed on the subject and promptly checked out. I'm done there. The place used to be something quite different, now it's a cesspool of ad hom vitriol and fact free idiocy.

I've been over at top, busily deleting my diaries (there were 118 of them! 31 made the rec list, Whooptydoo!) and inserting some links to here in place of the deleted content. Also adding 'C99' and 'IdesOfMarch' to all the tags. Only content I'm leaving is the #WhichHillary? #WhichMarcos? Diary, for posterity, because people should be able to see what sat at the top of the wreck list for a day and a half and got over 750 recs. They feel they can afford to lose a thousand or two members after the Ides statement and ugliness that ensued. C99's gain, and reddits, too.

results, and Chucky Todd and others were repeatedly bringing up how hopeless Bernie's campaign was now after the "Sanders Nevada debacle". On various mentions, words substituted for "debacle" included "disaster", "meltdown", etc. Absolute zero discussion of what had actually happened, of course. The meme was firmly implanted, and it's clear that it was going to be repeated until Bernie was completely ground into dust. Absolute Swiftboating at its most disgusting.
This is a classic testament to how AWFUL she would be in the general.
You know what's embarrassing? Seeing The Left with as many delusional nut-jobs as exists on The Right. They still think she's All That. OMG, it's pathetic.
Please reconsider this meme. Trying to convince people he's being "Naderized" really does what's happening here a grave disservice, because it is far uglier than that. "Naderizing" him is not really what's happening. All Ralph Nader did was run as a third party candidate. These propagandists are trying to turn Sanders into a dangerous anarchist.
That's the only way they can fight it. His actual policies are so-freaking-common sense that they can't really fight them without sounding like the Neocons/Neolibs they are.
So of course, try to paint the movement as violent, anti-social and dangerous.
It's been done a thousand times.
But.... people have also won - witness MLK and civil rights (if not won, at least made real progress) by sticking it out and refusing to be marginalized.
Let's use what tools we do actually have to counter that. Who do we know, personally, that will be inside as a delegate or official visitor?
What we need is someone on the inside that will be aware enough of "dirty tricks" and can report to us without putting anyone in danger.
I think someone ought to try to be that person--in fact, maybe there can be several trying in tandem. Even if it can't actually be pulled off, the conventioners putting on The Show should still believe that they'll be infiltrated. Well, that is, unless they put a shit-ton of rent-a-thugs on the floor in front of the television cameras.

Many voters got screwed, including our own member damnit janet. It is so wrong in every way. My vote is on June 7th and if denied…haha/not funny, there will be actual footage of someone throwing chairs.
Their site and the news says they keep excellent records of voter registration and any changes.
Mine were totally swept clean and only had our 2006 registration when we moved here which is when we went from Indy to Dem due to closed primaries. They had it as we changed TO indy.
Ten years of voting in closed primaries due to our registration and we end up with nothing.
Calling now to find out if my placebo ballot was even counted.
Edit: Just called the county election office where I was yesterday. They need at least 5 to 21 days to go through the cases before they can make a decision. AND... my registration status is still EMPTY. I'm nothing now. Not eve non-affiliated. Just EMPTY.
I tried to be calm. But as I told her - this is wrong. Something happened to their records why aren't they as upset as I am.
They are "looking into it".
They stole a veterans vote as well I told them and that their placebo ballot (provisional ballot) was useless.

Shadowproof's Kevin wrote a great piece about Nevada: https://shadowproof.com/2016/05/17/democrats-manipulated-nevada-state-pa...
albeit a very odd one. Many weeks ago, I attended a caucus in which the Bernie supporters outnumbered the Hillary supporters by about 5 to 1. There was a lot of time wasted by the incompetent Democratic Party operatives, but I was impressed that both groups were cordial (particularly in view of the fact that the event lasted hours longer than necessary). A couple of days later there was a letter in the local newspaper complaining about the behavior of the Sanders supporters. The odd thing is that it is hard for me to understand why the Clinton camp wants to demonize the Sanders supporters. I can't see that it will do them any good at all. It will alienate Sanders supporters and lead us to abstain, vote green or vote Trump. Are they just idiots driven by their emotions to counterproductive action. The Clintons clearly have a mean streak so maybe that is behind this.
Having said all that, the real loss for the Clintons will not be people like us who will refuse to vote for her. It will be the millions of young people that have turned out for Bernie and who have absolutely no enthusiasm for Clinton. She is doing nothing to win them over. Indeed the opposite is the case.
for keeping an enemies list, like Nixon, and not sparing the rod if they feel someone hasn't been 100% loyal. It's probably why she has all those super delegates locked up...fear of retaliation if they don't toe the line.

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
His movement needs a home of its own. Another poster pointed out in a different thread that only Texas would be unavailable due to registration requirements and it will almost certainly go Republican anyway.
He really needs to go independent right after the last primary, not after the convention. Lots of states have deadlines in July.
NC and Texas have early deadlines and are probably out of the question. States with sore loser laws do not apply them to presidential campaigns except for SD and Texas.
If Bernie would make his move in June, we could have him on the ballot in all but 3 states for the November election.
to help Bernie start a new party and sustain his movement. He has the right message and his voters demographics suggest they will be around a long time. In fact I bet they will remember how he was treated by the Democrat establishment.
and get behind Clinton. I've seen scuttlebutt on CNN that his campaign manager somehow "hinted" at it.
As far as "going independent", there's not enough time to get on all 50 state ballots and "going Green Party" has the same problem. Honest to God, after all this shit, what the man ought to do is lawyer up and contest the entire primary vote. Period. Full stop. Have it declared invalid.
It should be! And since both candidates were "winning", then the only fair thing to do is put them both on the General ballot.
(IANAL, but I wonder if this is possible in any way?)

faked out, distracted by the latest staged sensation on the pop culture front.
The rich have a team that also includes the billionaire owners of Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Twitter.

Or so they think.
It’s up to young people to prove the manipulators wrong.
hey, maybe there could be a market for inflatable pitchforks
can carry on the airplane
make huge so that they won't be taken to be a weapon of a peasant (i.e., terrorist) and reduce the chances of being roughed up by the state secret police who are protecting the oligarchs
and you can carry around and inflate as needed
or make small so clearly not a weapon
a real pitchfork, with steel spikes, would scare the shit out of the militarized police and they would have to bring out a water cannon, or an ear shattering noise machine of some other way to shut down the first ammendment
when they so clearly LIE about Nevada
it is like the police lies when they murder someone with a plastic gun in WalMart or other cases of police violence
I think that an inflatable pitchfork is a good idea
Cosplay is about appearances, or “optics” — and optics are very important. How about underscoring the nonviolence of the protests by having all the participants wear cute costumes?

They are trying to Naderize him.
triangulation, I think.
Yet Bernie just won Oregon and almost won KY.
This must be about California.
Hillary does not want unity.
I consider KY a Sanders win
as Clinton had to outspend him 2-1 to squeak out with a .5% "victory." (NYTimes still hasn't called it for her, either.)
Clinton used a shit-ton in resources in KY and is barely winning
This is a classic testament to how AWFUL she would be in the general.
You know what's embarrassing? Seeing The Left with as many delusional nut-jobs as exists on The Right. They still think she's All That. OMG, it's pathetic.

My Blood Pressure Shot Up Reading That Article
this campaign season has been dangerous to my health. There are many things I blame on the Clintons. Now my lack of good health is one of them.
I think this has been a strategy from the beginning
albeit a very odd one. Many weeks ago, I attended a caucus in which the Bernie supporters outnumbered the Hillary supporters by about 5 to 1. There was a lot of time wasted by the incompetent Democratic Party operatives, but I was impressed that both groups were cordial (particularly in view of the fact that the event lasted hours longer than necessary). A couple of days later there was a letter in the local newspaper complaining about the behavior of the Sanders supporters. The odd thing is that it is hard for me to understand why the Clinton camp wants to demonize the Sanders supporters. I can't see that it will do them any good at all. It will alienate Sanders supporters and lead us to abstain, vote green or vote Trump. Are they just idiots driven by their emotions to counterproductive action. The Clintons clearly have a mean streak so maybe that is behind this.
Having said all that, the real loss for the Clintons will not be people like us who will refuse to vote for her. It will be the millions of young people that have turned out for Bernie and who have absolutely no enthusiasm for Clinton. She is doing nothing to win them over. Indeed the opposite is the case.
Triangulation.
Back to the 90s.
Trump on one side, Bernie on the other.
“Being attacked by both sides proves my position is just right.”
The “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” theory.
Supposedly, the Clintons are well known
for keeping an enemies list, like Nixon, and not sparing the rod if they feel someone hasn't been 100% loyal. It's probably why she has all those super delegates locked up...fear of retaliation if they don't toe the line.

Yes - may be a strategy by hiring king of election fraud
there are rumors that the king of this stuff, Karl Rove, is working for Hillary
people who have been working election integrity for years said this and I trust them
I don't have any additional evidence
it may come up in a suite before the CA primary
They want us to leave.

I just heard The Band on my radio, and now can't find that tune
so I found this. I have on my scanner bed a promo shot of Levon and the Hawks. History. They look so young, like many of us.

Bernie should go third party
His movement needs a home of its own. Another poster pointed out in a different thread that only Texas would be unavailable due to registration requirements and it will almost certainly go Republican anyway.
That was me
He really needs to go independent right after the last primary, not after the convention. Lots of states have deadlines in July.
NC and Texas have early deadlines and are probably out of the question. States with sore loser laws do not apply them to presidential campaigns except for SD and Texas.
If Bernie would make his move in June, we could have him on the ballot in all but 3 states for the November election.

I would love
to help Bernie start a new party and sustain his movement. He has the right message and his voters demographics suggest they will be around a long time. In fact I bet they will remember how he was treated by the Democrat establishment.
I hope to hell he's not planning to just sit down and shut up
and get behind Clinton. I've seen scuttlebutt on CNN that his campaign manager somehow "hinted" at it.
As far as "going independent", there's not enough time to get on all 50 state ballots and "going Green Party" has the same problem. Honest to God, after all this shit, what the man ought to do is lawyer up and contest the entire primary vote. Period. Full stop. Have it declared invalid.
It should be! And since both candidates were "winning", then the only fair thing to do is put them both on the General ballot.
(IANAL, but I wonder if this is possible in any way?)

I had a reappearance of my expensive puppy
at a sliding door, hungry for lunch. She was outside, unavailable for 2 hours, while the phone guy George appeared. American Samoan. In upstate NY. First name basis. No idea where puppy roamed. Her secret. I am opening my wings to negotiate life with a new dog. I have practice with gone ones. I am working on developing trust. I don't have that with many humans. Animals I get better. She came home.

We put a small and cheap GPS device on our runner's collar.
Then downloaded the info to a Google map underlay. We could see where he went and how long it took. He did about ten miles in 40 minutes.
So we had a custom bike bjorking harness made, and had him lead out DH on his cross over. The doggie did fine. DH was pooped.

Getting close to getting GPS for her
She will be microchipped when ovariohysterectomied. There may be a chip with a smarter GPS on it. I have chipped cats with ones that could do remote temperature readings. Also fish (salmon). Chips migrate in them. FYI.

Report from someone who was there
Never be deceived that the rich will allow you to vote away their wealth.-Lucy Parsons
Haven't watched entire video - have to go to work soon
But I want to touch on something he said, He said Obama from the White House condemned the violence that Bernie Sanders delegates did??
What a fucking backstabber Obama has been. Truly, he no longer shocks me.
Where was his condemnation about the violence towards OWS?
You know what is violent President Obama?? Having your vote taken away from you and your husband.
Fuck Obama and Fuck Clinton. Dems/Reps - all the same.

This is what the Democratic Party is doing to the young people
that the Bernie Campaign has brought to them.
Apparently the Democratic Party does not care about the
FUTURE
.
Methinks that this story is not going to play out, in the long run, the way the Party Elites think it will play out.

The rich figure young people have short memories and are easily
faked out, distracted by the latest staged sensation on the pop culture front.
The rich have a team that also includes the billionaire owners of Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Twitter.
Those owners of social media have at their disposal many tweaks and techniques they can use to tint, tip, and tilt the perceptions of young users of social media in any desired direction.
Or so they think.
It’s up to young people to prove the manipulators wrong.
Very close to booking a flight to Philly,
but I suppose I'll have to buy a pitchfork there- TSA prolly won't let me bring one along.
"When the powerless are shut out of the media, we will make the media irrelevant" ~Anonymous~
That would be an awesome optic
If a lot of the non-violent protesters carried pitchforks as a symbol.
Beware the bullshit factories.
Be sure it is clearly a fake - paper, inflatable, etc.
hey, maybe there could be a market for inflatable pitchforks
can carry on the airplane
make huge so that they won't be taken to be a weapon of a peasant (i.e., terrorist) and reduce the chances of being roughed up by the state secret police who are protecting the oligarchs
and you can carry around and inflate as needed
or make small so clearly not a weapon
a real pitchfork, with steel spikes, would scare the shit out of the militarized police and they would have to bring out a water cannon, or an ear shattering noise machine of some other way to shut down the first ammendment
when they so clearly LIE about Nevada
it is like the police lies when they murder someone with a plastic gun in WalMart or other cases of police violence
I think that an inflatable pitchfork is a good idea
Cosplay weapons, like at comic cons & manga-anime fan gatherings
Cosplay is about appearances, or “optics” — and optics are very important. How about underscoring the nonviolence of the protests by having all the participants wear cute costumes?
Oh, oh, oh. Look, look. See the police. See the police bashing Hello Kitty’s head in with the billy club.
I've been trying to sell a clown costume theme
for their joke of a convention
ha ah ha ah ha ha ha
Actually chocked laughing when it got to the little teapot LOL lol
