the Great and Powerful Orange. They asked me to send $5.00 to "help them keep fighting".
Here is the reply I sent:
Dear Michael and Will-
I probably would have contributed to "keep Daily Kos fighting", had you not decided to "fight" only for Hillary. Instead, I will send the $5.00 you asked for directly to Bernie Sanders' campaign.

So this is my first diary ever on the Internet.
I have lurked here and commented a bit a TOP. First off, I am a Millennial Latina living in Texas. I was raised in a poor but loving family. I got a scholarship to a top university and was sure that it was my ticket to a middle class lifestyle. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I spent most of my 20s being poor. It wasn't until my late 20s that I finally started living a middle class lifestyle. So that is a little about me.
Sarah McBride was president of the American University student body when she came out as transgender in 2012. Having worked on Beau Biden's 2010 campaign for AG of Delaware and Jack Markel's 2008 gubernatorial campaign, she had gained some connections that earned her a spot as a White House intern...becoming the first openly transgender woman to work in the White House.
In January 2013 Sarah joined the board of directors of Equality Delaware and was instrumental in Delaware passing anti-discrimination protections for transgender people.

George Will still has a job at the Washington Post. They certainly aren't paying him by the word. Perhaps they're paying him for the lies he's willing to tell in defending the indefensible.

…where is fancy bred. In the heart or in the head? ….
It is engendered in the eyes, with gazing fed, and fancy dies in the cradle where it lies. Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice, Act 3. Also Willie Wonka with Gene Wilder.
If it was even remotely possible, I would so go to this Summit. Maybe they'll figure out a way to nationalize it and or livestream keys parts of it. Maybe we could 'crowdsource' a few bucks here and send a few of our own?
SideNote: To the DNC, the CCC and the rest of the party faithful, this is about all I have to say:
(a) ITS THE CORRUPTION STUPID! and (b) THERE IS NO PLANET B.
establishment heads explode. He is in a three-way race in PA with Joe Sestak and Katy McGinty. DSCC is putting their money on McGinty and then Sestak. Fetterman says they blew him off.
