This was one day people
That's all it was.
I was not surprised. If anything surprised me it was that Comey went on so long with his statement.
But the reality is nothing has changed. And nothing will change unless we fight to make it so.
We can crawl into a hole, or ...
We can fight, which means organize, coordinate, cooperate and never give up.
Bernie is just one guy. I love Bernie.
But he's not perfect, and even if Clinton had been indicted they never would have given him the nomination.
So - I want a better world than what we have now.
Not for me.
I've got maybe 20 years left if I'm lucky, probably less.
But I don't want my kids, your kids, you or whoever comes after me to think I quit. That I crawled away and let the sociopaths and the people who can rationalize anything for mere money, destroy the only world we have.
Life is a miracle.
I've seen miracles in my own life. I even wrote about one of them.
And I've seen tragedy. Lives blighted by poverty, and the unwillingness of those with too much to share anything with those with too little.
Lives ruined by wars they never wanted to fight.
People damaged by the neglect of our government to provide mental health care, clean water, police that protected us rather than occupied our communities.
Corporations allowed to metastasize until they could squeeze everyone of us of every last dime we own, all while selling us poison and lies.
So, do we lay down and give in, and let the future say of us "they were too weak, they had no courage, they were stupid and blind and mad with greed and lust for power?"
Or do we put away the ill will that the 1% has generated to separate us, put aside the small differences that they have nurtured to divide us, let go of childish things like hate and fear and envy, and join together, as one mighty force to oppose the people who will kill this planet and millions if not billions of human beings if it meant they could claim to be winners of whatever dung heap of devastation is left.
I guess you know what my choice is.

Right now I want to do a cartoon --
much in the style of Marvel Comics -- my lead supervillain will be called "Lesser Evil." Mild-mannered liberal Democrat by day, supervillain by night. He'll have a cape and tights with a big "L" on his chest, plus horns, a tail, and a red suit. He'll have a "change faces" superpower: Dukakis, the Clintons, Gore, Kerry, Obama, he's looked like all of them.

Since I'm not allowed a paycheck
since the Feds say my legal job in Oregon at a mmj dispensary is illegal but they still want their fucking taxes... and since me and my spouse weren't allowed to vote after all my life voting - due to registration fucking fraud...
since I'm not allowed to fight back against the jackbooted,
since I'm not allowed the pursuit of happiness and peace..
then fuck them all. I'll fight back. Hell, I have been all along.

Illegal but they want their taxes
Some things really don't ever change. Ever. Damnit Janet, you've actually made me smile. Just a few years ago, well, decades, 1966 to be exact, as a student, one of my professors, Howard Zinn, helped us picket a local pharmacy - in which ( this being Boston MA) it was ILLEGAL to sell a contraceptive we then called "rubbers" - so they were "behind the counter" and you had to ask for them, and when you bought them, they were TAXED. Took several years, I'd graduated by then, heard thru the rumor mill, it was finally changed.
Remember laughing at the absurdity of it all. Stunning to see how little, how very little, has changed. So we have FBI Director Comey instead of J. Edgar, stunning how much ground lost.
Wish I could agree with the essayist, have tried, but this will need revolution. I don't expect it to be peaceful.
"Those who would make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." JFK
How can we live with ourselves, if this system isn't, finally, finally, destroyed. No More Clintons.
You knew Zinn??
Wow! Floored. He is one of my daughters favorites.
I see more and more peaceful types becoming too enraged. I find it hard anymore not to think horrible things myself. We can no longer ignore or make excuses.
We know history and humanity. We know what comes after such corruption. We know what it takes to stop it but each time seemed to need more and more to get us revolting.
Ballots or bullets.

I'm with you
or is it I'm with us?
... with US, and with everyone else in the 99 percent --
around the world. See: Greece; Brexit
Things are changing fast, and the 0.01-percenters are running scared (look at all of the OBVIOUS machinations during the primaries, if you don't believe so). Probably time for a few "close shaves with the National Razor" (quoting Charles Dickens) -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillotine
When Cicero had finished speaking, the people said “How well he spoke”.
When Demosthenes had finished speaking, the people said “Let us march”.

There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know.
I never thought that this corrupt government
would indict. They didn't Bush/Cheney and god knows they really really shoulda and they never sat the banksters down and took their toys away. It is up to us. Bernie has tried the electoral process option and it is clear that the ptb have f*cked that up completely. Do you think we can EVER rely on that until yuge reforms are done?

Then what remains?
I'm not folding or going lesser evil. But what matters if your actual vote is not counted?
Vote against Hillary if you want to break the establishment
…grip on the Democratic Party.
It's really not that complicated. People are fretting about this so hard, little beads of blood are breaking out on their foreheads.
There's a clear path to victory here. Deliver a defeat to the Democratic Party and throw the bums out. They won't recover from this loss.

Not so easy.
And I don't mean from a "moral" standpoint.
Luna's point still stands: How can we vote against her when that vote ultimately won't count? Steven wrote an article yesterday about this. HRC's team stole this primary; damn straight they can steal the general if they need to.
Voting isn't good enough anymore.
You're missing the point
I'm making.
The ballot I cast HAS TO COUNT.
I *think* it'll count if I cast it for Trump.
I don't want to vote for him, I want to vote Green or vote for Sanders. But I will not vote for that damnable woman. I will not.
It helps to have a leader
Especially a leader that will call out election fraud, like Jill Stein.
Beware the bullshit factories.
Somebody has to do it. That's one of the things I'm so
disappointed about in Sanders. He was blatantly cheated. But he wasn't the only one. We were cheated too. Fuck the Washington Post and their 'it was worse than we thought' bullshit. Everyone knew how 'bad' it was shortly into the story, even dumbshits like me. When she went into her usual defense of lie lie lie, we knew that too. If you're old like me and have been watching the Clintons for 25 years, you get to understanding that no matter what they touch there will always be something in it for them, by hook or by crook. And as long as they get their cut, they don't care which means it takes just as long as that bank balance increases with every dirty deal they do.
All Comey did was declare the Clinton bunch America's Official Crime Family. They are untouchable. I can't believe that he had the ignorance or audacity to clearly state that anyone else would be punished for doing the same thing as Shillary did. That was appalling. And oh so telling.
Why isn't Sanders saying anything, I wonder? Now is the time.
I'm tired of this back-slapping "Isn't humanity neat?" bullshit. We're a virus with shoes, okay? That's all we are. - Bill Hicks
Politics is the entertainment branch of industry. - Frank Zappa
It's never been his M.O.
He could have made this a campaign issue when asked about it in the first debate. He chose not to. He is relentlessly focused on the issues he has been fighting for, even before his career in public service. Love the strategy or hate it, I don't see him straying from it now. And I don't see him gaining anything from it if he did -- it would just be fodder for all of his detractors to "prove" that he is a mean-spirited, Democrat-hating egomaniac. Or something.
Personally, what I *do* wish he would do is go third-party after the convention. That would be his statement on the non-indictment, without having to say anything at all. And the hoardes would follow him to the polls.
Just my humble take on things. I'm feeling very dispirited about our "democracy" today, which means I'm also pessimistic that the above would even happen.
I'm fine with Bernie
The only way he could have broken through media trivialization was by repeating the most important points over and over exactly as he did. He can still be President, but there's no more time to wait for him and Jill Stein does have a few strong points, like being able to call out the cheaters, that Bernie, being stuck in the 2 party funhouse, doesn't have.
Beware the bullshit factories.
Now I see he has made a statement.
"Now we wait for the Justice Department."
Exactly what I would expect of (and respect about) Bernie. He's still playing the long game and keeping himself above the fray. You know that any negative fallout from the investigation -- now or in November -- will magically be Bernie's fault. He's providing proof that it won't be -- because he's refused to jump in.
#StillSanders
Loretta Lynch just made a public statement
…after her visit with Bill.
She said she would follow exactly whatever the FBI recommends. She said she was forced to do that because a scandal broke out over her tarmac meeting with Bill.
So, the people were set up again.

NO
Look--we cannot advocate "staying home".
That's what they want you to do. No matter what else you do or do not do--you show up.
My preference is voting Green
But staying home is better than voting for Hillary

Clear that PTB can just make things up. I will vote Green, too.
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.

My congresswoman, Nikki Tsongas, is on the list of super delegates committed to Excessively Careless Hillary, and there is no way I'll be voting for her this year.
"Please clap." -- Jeb Bush
What does the rest of her record look like?
Does she vote with the crowd or is she more progressive? I won't totally write off anyone until I see that they are not just dead weight. For example, I know I won't vote for my congresswoman, Stabenow, for many reasons. The latest is her introduction of a bill to water down GMO labeling. Her refusal to commit to voting against the TPP is another reason for not voting for her. The crowning error of the side of corporations that loses my vote is her endorsement of HRC, but not the only reason.

If there is no struggle there is no progress.--Frederick Douglass
Records can deceive
A lot of times there are votes held where certain people vote progressive to make them look good back home, because the party caucus knows that it doesn't need their votes. Other times, they all vote as part of a block on a bill that is GOP sponsored even though everyone recognizes the bill will pass anyway since Dems are in the minority.
Look to see where they get their money. That is the surest sign. And I'll bet a lot of them got money from PACs or lobbyists that also gave to Clinton and/or GOP candidates.
"You can't just leave those who created the problem in charge of the solution."---Tyree Scott
Dems have not always been the minority.
On the Issues is a good place to start to see where a candidate stands as it covers a wide range of issues. And if an organization/corporation wanted to make a candidate look bad, would said entity donate money to that person knowing that it would raise questions? One needs to take a holistic view of candidates, so not just the money or their record or their words.

Being a super delegate
for the paid-for candidate of the 1% is sufficient to tell me whose side congresswoman Tsongas is really on. The mask is now off.
"Please clap." -- Jeb Bush
"Records can deceive..."
Yes, they can, and that is why it's incumbent on us to be a truly informed voter.
We can comment on the various websites and be 'keyboard warriors' 'til the cows come home, but until we absolutely KNOW what a candidate stands for, doesn't stand for, and whether or not that aligns with our individual beliefs is key.
I, personally, am against term limits; we (supposedly) have the ballot box. In my opinion, those who say we must throw everyone out are (mostly) wrong; Ed Perlmutter in CO-7 is just one example of a Congressman who listens to the people.
Sadly, 'politics' these days is strategy.
Leadership is sorely lacking.
Voting Green is the only course that makes sense.
People who stay home serve people like the Koch brothers well. Vote Green if you want your vote to say "I support the principles Bernie Sanders spoke of during his primary campaign."
I buried the Democratic Party in the back yard
when the San Diego whiteout shit erupted.
HOWEVER, I think that fighting the DNC over issues serves to educate a lot of folks, especially if it can be done in a way the the MSM isn't likely to ignore. Demonstrate clearly what we want and why.
Lord, I wish Bernie would go Green. But even if he doesn't, the Greens already espouse pretty much the same things that we do and we can fight on for the same things, just under a different banner.
The Greens are making progress in their struggle to get onto state ballots and I think it is entirely possible for them to make the grade in 40+ states. Of the higher population states that still remain to be conquered are PA, VA, NJ, and CT. Since the judiciary ruling that brought PA's required sigs down to 5,000 from 21,000+, those remaining high electoral college vote states are quite possible. It can be done.
Trump would absolutely shred Clinton. Any other Republican would do about the same. In a 4-way race [Green, Dem, Rep, and Lib], Jill Stein and the Berniecrats could actually win. And if we supported progressive candidates for the House, we could get some shit done.
I'm in a peaceful place where nothing the Dem establishment can do will hurt me. If Bernie doesn't want to continue, I'll understand. FSM knows, the man has moved mountains. The Greens are probably stubborn and irritating, but then so am I.
Current fights with the DNC will probably work to the benefit of a 3rd party, with free advertising.
Abandoning Bernie is out of the question. But other than that, I'm Green.
Life is strong. I'm weak, but Life is strong.
Msm has proven it can ignore anything.
Including a (relatively) unknown candidate for the Democratic nomination for President's filling venue after venue with crowds of 5000 in red states and 30,000 in blue states. http://tyndallreport.com/comment/20/5773/
When listeners complained to NPR about its lack of coverage for Sanders, NPR claimed he had done nothing newsworthy and, when he did, NPR would cover him. Meanwhile, his rallies had thousands of people in overflow alone, while Hillary, with all her PACS and all her millions of dollars and all her name recognition was not managing crowds of 1,000 in her main venue.
MSM
Those people still relying on MSM will of course only know what the MSM (or what their kids or grandkids) tell them. Obama's victory proved that the kids and grandkids have a lot of persuasive power.

Hang in there, we've been through worse. Many times
Many of us have been fighting these battles for more than a decade, almost 2 decades. Now we're finally seeing more people get involved. You have to stay in the fight or we'll never win. Apathy has held us back for too long now.

hillary will have a Bush-like approval rating from Day One
just let that sink in.....the democrat party will get its clock cleaned in midterms under the Clinton admin, and the neolibs will hope that the ensuing gridlock keeps americans tuned out of the political process. this enables them to keep robbing the country blind, outsourcing will nilly, and continue their ways. Even the head of the largest private prison company said today that he will be just fine whether Hillary or Trump gets elected.
the wardens may change , but the Prison is going nowhere.
did 9 months in California prison, because Neoliberal Democrats and GOP maggots work together to profit off the drug war
Same thing that's been happening since the Bush II years
That's why we need to divert our energies to another institution. A new third party or splinter party, with its own identity,candidates and goals.
Now is the time, when voters are finally fed up and willing to walk away from Team Blue/Team Red.
They're doing it in Europe, we can do it here.
"If you can't eat their food, drink their booze, take their money and then vote against them you've got no business being in Congress."
For now, vote Green.
The left always seems to think in terms of yet another new party. We just got another new one, the United Progressive Party. I don't know enough about it to trust it yet.
A few years back, we got the Working Families Party, which, so far, seems to put the Democratic nominee or the Republican nominee on its ticket, but mostly the Democrat. At about the same time, we got the Justice Party, etc.
IMO, it would be good to unite first, then become a force in one of the existing parties.
In any case, no new Party will be on the ballot in many states by November. So, in November, the strongest statement can be made by voting Green. If the Green Party does much better in November 2016 than it did in November 2012 or November 2008, the reason will be obvious.
After November 2016, Sanders supporters can decide whether to take over an existing party from within or form yet another new one. But, the key is unified action, if we want to make so much as a ripple.
Why after November?
So Her Highness can be safely elected?
I've seen lots of changes. What doesn't change is people. Same old hairless apes.
We have to know if Green votes will COUNT
or BE COUNTED.
Once someone puts that in writing, I'll vote Green. Until then, I'm forced to vote for that douchebag Donald Trump because Hillary Clinton is a fucking danger to this nation and this planet. And I will. I won't like it, but I will. It will be a cold day in hell before that woman EVER gets my vote.
I always thought the purpose was to "clear" her
I thought from the start that the point of the F.B.I. investigation was to "clear" her, so that she had an impressive answer to charges about her emails that are likely to be made during the general election campaign. The timing of the announcement works very well in that regard.
The F.B.I. had said there was no rush to conclude the investigation, and the timing of the investigation had nothing to do with the political process. Yet, the timing of the announcement eliminates the possibility of any criticism of the Democratic Party for nominating a candidate for President who was under F.B.I. investigation. Something like that may have been be used against the party for a long time, and perhaps will be used against Democratic primary voters.
At the same time, Democratic primary voters who favored Sanders cannot complain that the timing of the announcement helped Hillary win primary votes. Heck, "poor Hills" had to fight the primary battle against Sanders with the added burden of being under this cloud the entire time (except that Sanders himself helped her get out from under the cloud during the first debate, dang it).
I don't think Trump is correct that Hillary may be the most corrupt Presidential candidate ever. I do, however, think that the corruption abounds throughout government and the election process (including primaries) and has for a long time.
Example: http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=72096 (Reply #5, MajorSam)
In addition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries,_1...
Nope
This country as far as I'm concerned deserves Trump and everything that he brings after seeing that vote stealing Criminal left free and Obama having the sheer gall to campaign with her.
He's the embodiment of the willful ignorance, the fact free sound byte society, the people who swallow the media swill, who think fact checkers can be trusted instead of fact finding themselves, who let others do the thinking for them instead of thinking for themselves, and who never ask the hard questions, much less look in the mirror to ask them of themselves.
And I find myself anymore having a really hard time caring, when it's been made quite clear not enough people give a damn, no one who matters is willing to fight, so why should we keep trying to herd a society of sheep? why shine a light for those who won't see, why educate those who won't hear, why fight for those who won't speak?
They can go fuck themselves, them and everyone else.
Steven we can sit here and fight, we can blog, we can rant, we can have all the people's summit's we want till we're Blue in the damn face. And every last shred of it is utterly totally meaningless because of one simple fact.
Peaceful revolution at the ballot box has been made impossible by the powers that be.
If nothing else this election has shown me that the only result, and I don't give a damn if it's what they want, is the inevitable result of that. As Kennedy warned us about.
Until we have free and fair elections, until we have verifiable votes, and until those who deserve to go to jail actually go to jail none of the rest matters.
See, their morals, their code... it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be.

Until that happens, if you don't want Clinton you have to vote for Trump.
She's not nominated yet.

FBI Director Comey Preempts Justice Department By Advising No Charges for Hillary Clinton
good article
I wonder if we are as stupid as they think. It would be hard to create a more corrupt scenario.
Let's start with the Phoenix meeting between a prosecutor and the husband of a criminal. Pretty bad optics that just happened to be discovered and reported.
Then a Saturday interrogation in the middle of a holiday weekend.
And finally a post holiday non-indictment.
Come on. I may have been born at night, but not last night. This is blatant corruption that we simply accept?
Time to raise hell. The great problem we face is a complicit media machine that will not report our protests, and a joke of a voting system that insures they win every time. I guess I'm puzzled how to break this system that seems to have us all on lock down.
“Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.”
It will be interesting to see if there is any
fallout from this. If Comey gets some kind of reprimand, then maybe he was acting on his own to disseminate information that he thought might get buried if he just presented the facts to the AG. If he does not receive a reprimand for going around the protocols, then who knows.
Miller calls Comey's press conference "unprecedented." This is how precedent is set...by someone doing it the first time. I was kind of surprised that Comey used the lack of precedent for not pursuing criminal charges.

Write-in. Vote Green. Whatever. That will come clear, but no HRC
Yup. People want resolution. I prefer revolution, but, then, I was never very good at sticking to the approved path.
So the "damn emails" story has been focused on, and sucked up all the energy in the room - and Obama's out there, doing his preacher routine, and we're expected to now, finally, STFU. However, it has not escaped my attention that the email show has obfuscated the point that all the illegalities in the Clinton Foundation would take down, not only both Clintons, but a vast array of VIO(ligarchs), and not just a few - always disposable - Clinton aides and functionaries. So I do not give my blessing to people who send me articles giving them excuses to vote for Hillary - most not even knowing they are asking for permission to just stop being uncomfortable.
After all these years, I guess I'm finding out that my purpose in life is to be a pea under the mattress. So much for becoming a ballerina.....

We need to figure out what "Bust" is
Unless Bernie makes some late-game turn to a 3rd party. I do not see that coming, and even if he were to do so, the main issue addressed would have to be election fraud.
