Clinton campaign obtains shocking new video of BernieBros Riot in Nevada

Washington Post:
The Clinton campaign has obtained, and will soon release, a new video of what can only be described as shocking proof that Hillary was right all along.
The Clinton campaign has assured us that in this video you can clearly see a young Clinton staffer on her knees on the floor of the Paris Hotel, begging for her life. Standing over her was a 70ish-year old Sanders supporter, dressed in a "BernieBros Before Ho's" t-shirt while waving a 6-inch knife and screaming "I'll cut you bitch!"

"When the time is right, we'll release our proof to the media that all Bernie Sanders supporters are misogynistic and racist thugs and will burn in Hell, just like we've been saying since Bernie Sanders started winning primaries," said a regional Clinton campaign staffer.

In this video you can also see Sanders supporters beating women from the Clinton campaign with chairs while singing the Internationale.
When one of the women begged for mercy with a Canadian accent, the BernieBros chanted, "Upper-class, southern England English only, bitches!"

When asked about this still unseen video, a high-level Sanders staffer with a knitted-cap saying "Thug Life" stopped doing lines off the naked ass of a prostitute long enough to tell us that "A gangsta gotta do what a gangsta gotta do."
15 minutes later, when the coke was gone, several Sanders staffers approached journalists to make a statement. Between smirks and derisive laughter, one staffer asked, "If BernieBros caused violence, how come no one got arrested? We all saw that line of police officers." The staffers behind him then began coughing in a manner that sounded almost like "Bullshit!"

The Hillary campaign explained that the police officers in attendance at the Democratic conference were actually there for the annual Blind and Deaf Police Officers Conference next door. What's more, BernieBros had just stolen their canes, dark glasses, and seeing eye dogs moments before.

"We also have proof that Bernie Sanders has taken bribes directly from Donald Trump himself," the Clinton staffer went on to say. "What is Sanders' objective? The destruction of the democratic party? The subjugation of women and minorities? Treason? Clearly it is everything that pops into our minds."

The current working assumption appears to be that our Shroedinger's Cat system is still alive. But what if we all suspect it's not, and the real problem is we just can't bring ourselves to open the box?

The latest word is that the Clinton campaign is bundling all this proof with her Goldman Sachs speeches and will release it soon.

This isn't how you handle irrelevant groups. This is what you do when you're fighting for your political life.
The only thing I can think of is a two stage strategy - discredit the movement to the young voters, then try to suck them in with lesser evilism. And it isn't working, which makes them scared (and dangerous). Clinton may be able to get some money from Bushite donors, but she won't get enough Republican votes to hold the tossup states. She NEEDS the Bernie voters, but she despises us, and she can't act for shit (just check the videos of her many fake accents).

This, then, is the new order. Ginning up controversy, pushing people into corners and denying them justice, and when they protest make the controversy an unresolvable situation that requires use of force to resolve.

This is all so contrived. I cannot believe this is America, sometimes. We were once inclusive - e pluribus unum - but there's sides being taken here!

I had to sit in a doctor's office so of course I had to listen to Fox News (makes me soo pissed!). Between Bill Maher and this fing show, I am coming to wonder if Trump isn't becoming a thing. According to Maher, he is at 40% vs HRC 41%.

But this woman is not a lot different from Drumpf... I see a coming storm.

Was discussing this with a young co-worker. Some of the people he knows say they will vote Trump because they are truly sick of the status quo and are willing to blow it up - to destroy what we have, basically (or at least to risk that) - to finally get change they desperately need! I said, "Yeah, it's like fresh buds emerging from burnt soil after a fire. But did they think about the conflagration, and the horror, and the confusion of the actual fire itself?" he's like, "they don't care".

...and then - considering a Drumpf presidency, Bill sang "Oh, Canada" (he actually knew the first dozen words haha)!

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when we are afraid of the light.
--Plato

While evil, Queen Hillary has a plan and the means to get the PTB to support her. Think of her in similar terms of preparation and purpose as a certain Austrian achieved. As did the Austrian, Hillary could do great harm, and it would take a lot to oppose her.

Drumpf, on the other hand, has on some sites been equated with Mussolini, and with reason. He's about as prepared as Il Duce to be a leader, and has no clue what he's really about. He won't, however, have the Austrian to come to his rescue every time he fails to achieve the simplest of his goals, and will cause great havoc. There is every chance the the global leadership demanded by the USA since 1945 will be taken by other nations. This isn't necessarily going to result in a two-sided contest, either, and will make global conflict inevitable.

In a sense, having Her Highness and Drumpf as our corporatist choices makes Lindsay Graham look a bit smarter than for which I generally give him credit. The selection between these two is like a choice of being shot (Hillary) or being poisoned (Drumpf). At least with the poison, one has a slight chance at survival, but it's sure going to hurt.

in public places pretty easy.

Many, like the Samsung S series have remote control capability and there are universal remote control apps for free.

I was in my Neurosurgeons waiting room and it had Fox on, so I switched it.

The gal working behind the counter looked up and switched it back.

So I switched it again (very sneakily I might add.)

This went on another 2 or 3 times and then she looks over at me (I was the only other person in the waiting room at the moment) and says, "I don't know what is wrong with this TV, it keeps changing channels all by itself!"

To which I replied, "Oh, its one of those newfangled smart TV's and they are too smart to watch Fox I think..."

You would think that one of the HRC horde would be jumping up and down with video in hand if such a thing had occurred.

Casino owners would want the perpetrators arrested, pretty sure Vegas police know that.

By the way, the two guys on the stage look pretty relaxed what with being in the middle of a riot and all.

It was ear-tagged, she had been trapped and vaccinated against rabies. Blunt-force trauma, according to two hunters who examined the body. Probably hit by a car. No way could that have occurred anywhere near where it was found. That was playing dirty. His crime was drug running, Canada to the US. Buys new vehicles every year.

You've done this before. Stop with the meme that only Millennials are Bernie supporters. I'm with Him; many more of my generation are also. This is ageism, as in, those over fifty are low-information voters who are spoon-fed lies by the MSM and Hillary and believe it. My generation is curious, literate, and probably better-educated than yours. We also fact check things and don't rely on blogs, FB, Twitter, or Beyonce for info. I don't commit to anything before I'm given a verifiable source. Can you say the same for yourself?

are pro-Hillary, nor that only Millenials are Bernie supporters. That couldn't be further from the truth. After all, Bernie is a Boomer himself.

However, if we believe the statistics are anything other than garbage, statistics in multiple polls over time have shown that there is a very blunt break at about 50 (which includes the eldest people of my generation, the Boomers, the Silents, and those of the Greatest Generation still alive), at which point support for Bernie goes down and support for Hillary goes up. At about 60, that trend intensifies. Age has been the most consistent and accurate demographic predictor in this election--even outstripping race; among Black people, support for Hillary is extraordinarily strong over the age of 45; below that, the support is much more porous.

I am open to alternative explanations for this strong, persistent, and frankly, odd, trend, since it's clear it can't be explained by a simple left/right dynamic (my generation has tracked consistently more conservative since we were young, and yet it has changed from being very much pro-Clinton to split down the middle between Clinton and Bernie over the course of the campaign. ) My first best guess was that it has to do with the way the different demographics typically receive their news.

I don't make these statements to smear anyone, certainly not any demographic; when I smear people categorically, which I sometimes do, it's usually based on things like their ideological choices (supporting Bushes or the DLC) or their professional ones (working for Wall St or being the CEO of an egregious corporation). Like all blanket smears, these are unfair and express my prejudices. But for what it's worth, that's how my prejudices run: they are ideological, political, professional, and sometimes class-based. If I'm consistently any kind of "ist" it's a classist. I go to places like this Tumblr to remind myself of why that's wrong: http://westandwiththe99percent.tumblr.com/

I am one of those over 60 Bernie supporters, white, educated, working class. You are confusing Democrats with other voters. Hillary has a machine...well oiled, focused, motivated, to tell you what to believe, and you are sucking it up by parroting the "statistics"... I've read it several times recently, I think it was Mark Twain..."there are lies, damned lies, and then there are statistics" or something to that affect. Numbers are the most frequently used way to distort, and obfuscate facts. One way to disprove these numbers is to look at how overwhelmingly Bernie has swept states like Michigan, and Wisconsin geographically.... like 90% of the counties ..the rural, older demographic... us "low information, fogey, techno idiots

stereotype anyone.

That said, I'm more than a little uncomfortable simply dismissing all the data indicating that this trend exists and deciding the data is fraudulent on the face of it. That's not because I have any desire to throw generational slurs, but because I have no reason, beyond people's anger, to think it is fraudulent.

God knows there's plenty of fraud, PR, and propaganda out there, but if we were at the point where all the data is fraudulent, we wouldn't see Bernie Sanders' likability numbers or his good numbers vs Trump; we wouldn't see Clinton's numbers falling against Trump, nor her favorability apparently descending into some vast electoral abyss. The mainstream press has just cancelled all the exit polls for the rest of the primary, apparently b/c they don't like the data those polls provide. That, too, indicates that not all the data available is lies.

If the data on how age correlates w/support for Clinton and Sanders is a fraud, it would have to be a fraud that extended over many polls over many months, so it would have to include the people and organizations responsible for doing (and paying for) all those different polls. I suppose that could be the case--like I said, we *are* down the rabbit hole here in a lot of ways.

My position is: the data say there's a strong generational divide. The data might be FUBAR. I have no evidence that it is, or that it isn't. Regardless, statistical data, even when correct, leaves tons of people out, especially when discussing groups that include massive numbers of people, so there's no need to create bias or stereotypes out of statistics. And I have no desire to do so.

When demographics say a majority of people over 60 are supporting Hillary, it doesn't mean NO ONE over 60 is supporting Bernie. It means exactly what it say - according to polling, a majority of people over 60 are supporting Hillary. Also, data and reality are not ageist, sexist or anything else. They are simply reality. Pretending it is not so is pointless.

That was real foresight. I did not expect the toxicity, but I also did not expect Bernie to do so well. Bernie doing well heightened contradictions. Smile Joking aside, it forced some to reveal their real beliefs.

I was very surprised at some folks. It's not so much supporting Hillary as the things they endorsed for her.

Kos always did best as an absentee Lord of the Realm. When he got engaged in February, early March, it all changed. His blog will survive, but I think he damaged it. It won't be the same.

Probably good in the long run for everyone.

She is Can'tStoptheSignal at c99. She was LiberalinMD at dailykos. She anticipated the ugly bloodbath at dkos. She knew a whole bunch of us were fucking fed up with the bully partisans at that place telling us what we could and couldn't say and what was racist, sexist, ageist and all the rest. We all wanted to escape. CStS created a life boat for us in Google something, and Johnny took it and us to here. The moderators at this site were early refuges. We supported the escape the best we knew how.

This site is about freedom and respect. It was apparent that CStS was speaking in generalities. She was not making a blanket statement, and it was apparent there was NO intent to be disrespectful to anyone. For gods sake, I am a woman and probably among the oldest people here. I am thoroughly pissed at women and the old folks (white, black, male and female) who fell in line for Hillary, and I get to say so. If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it.

I'm a woman also and not a young one either. Early baby boomer.

Facts are facts, most women my age are falling for Hillary. And it is perfectly alright to say so. And of course, "most" does not mean "all."

No reason here to start shouting "ageism" because someone states a true statistical fact. That's just another way of telling people to STFU.

And C99 in NOT for telling folks to STFU about inconvenient facts.

(in a John Cleese very miffed voice)

Damaged it? He's bloody destroyed it, mate!

You're tap dancing on the outskirts of Dick Town. Knock it off or you wont last long here. If you can't say it civilly, don't say it at all.
