"So I sez to her, I sez, Mabel!" (IV)

This is democracy. Yuk.

So really, I just tweeted this - there's a meme going around on The Twitter Tubes #BernieLoveWave, so I contributed a Tweet:

There's so many brutal political moves being made - and I'm damned glad to say some of those are OURs! I love it when Bernie or Jeff (who I call #LeaveItToWeaver) give it right back when they get hit with all these Brockian attacks.

But basically, I don't really like that kind of fighting as I have pretty much zero power to have people beheaded or otherwise inconvenienced if I am upset by what they say and feel I don't have an equally loud megaphone to refute them.

I'd rather go shopping and indulge myself in luxury beauty products (which I research heavily on the beauty blogs - and not to digress, but if we could get those beauty bloggers on our side we would change the world! Not to mention that if we could get supermodels on our side they are some of the best fund raisers in the world and we'd have our movement amply funded!).

But there's something about what I've received from Bernie, a spiritual fire, if you will, that makes even moi want to be a better person.

So once again I ended up contributing 50 bucks tonight to his campaign instead of buying candy and cheap novels.

I wish I could better describe how this decision comes about. I just let all the negativity swirl around in my brain, go through the same thing each time, just get really annoyed, then try to distract myself, then end up contributing to the Sanders campaign.

And then I'm ready for the next round.

He won't lower himself to the Clinton's dirty, mud slinging, cheatin', misleading style of campaigning.

He never went after the Foundation...which will be the Clinton downfall IMO. Her arms sales. Barely touched on the Honduran coup (which has similarities to the current situation in Brazil). and on and on. You know T-rump will not be so kind. I'm still hoping for an indictment.

(I’m thinkin’ a “McCain picks Palin” sized error) then we’d have to suspect he was a decoy who was supposed to take a dive all along.

Why would you think the Clintons and T-rump are in cahoots?

Well I guess they all share the same business address.
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/apr/25/delaware-tax-loophole-1...

Both the leading candidates for president – Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump – have companies registered at 1209 North Orange, and have refused to explain why.

Just eight days after stepping down as secretary of state in February 2013, Clinton registered ZFS Holdings LLC at CTC’s offices. Bill Clinton set up WJC LLC, a vehicle to collect his consultation fees, at the same address in 2008.

The Clintons’ companies share the office with several of Trump’s companies. They include Trump International Management Corp and several companies that form part of Hudson Waterfront Associates, a Trump partnership to develop more than $1bn worth of luxury condos on the west side of Manhattan.

These folks are all buddies! They are all part of that 1% we're fighting! It won't matter who gets elected if it's between Herr Drumpf and hrc. They are not on our side. Period.

To show the cancelled check for a big donation to the Clinton Foundation he wrote to entice them to his wedding. That is my theory, anyway. Sanders has been moderate, very moderate, for a political campaign. No pointing out that the "3 am phone call" Hillary used against Obama would be hard for her, per her emails that she is not fully awake and needs her lady's maid Huma to manage things on the phone til Milady awakens.

is to let the investigations play out -- which is proper; if he said anything else the Clinton camp could claim he was trying to influence the investigations. I really hope that the FBI finds something that will either lead Clinton to drop out or for the superdelegates to have severe reservations about supporting her, as it now seems increasingly likely that neither candidate will have enough pledged candidates to win the nomination outright.

Unlike some people on the Internets, I don't hate Hillary Clinton -- I just don't think she's the right person to be President in a volatile world situation.

... and I will as long as he's in the race. But I've started giving brandnewcongress $50 a month as well, and will probably continue that quite a bit longer.

I wasn't aware that beauty blogs and supermodels had such superpowers. Should we be working on the sports bloggers too? Between the two of them, they'd probably run our "Democratic" political blogs off the internets.

... of political gossip shall explore further the fab beauty bloggers I've discovered and perhaps flesh out the supermodel idea, lol.

I'd be afraid to approach the sports bloggers. Eeeeeeee!

Most sports blogs have more trolls even than TOP. But if you can get them to join your side, they'll follow you through hell.

Got to admit that the SB Nation blogs I've frequented (McCovey Chronicles and Fear the Fin) have done a decent job of weeding out the trolls while keeping things odd enough to be interesting (McCC has a certified "brony" aka adult male fan of My Little Pony -- he comes up with the best victory GIFs).

You really want trolls, try hanging out on Twitch chats during certain streams -- but two of my favorite streamers were #FeelingTheBern before I made up my mind.

It is concrete why I support Bernie Sanders. He pronounces why I support him nearly every day.

Wow, imagine if you had supermodel powers..

"That child needs to grow up healthy and strong so President Hillary can send it to die in an unnecessary war in a foreign land for the greater profit of the military-industrial complex. Shame on you Senator Sanders!"

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.

I think he gives people courage, by going up against TPTB, and by just doing the right thing and being who he is.
