First this somewhat breaking news from ex-MSNBC Alum, now working for Al Jazeera America: the possible charges against Hillary Clinton and her staff will likely happen, sooner as opposed to later:
okay so admittedly I'm not ready for prime time
This epic-rant happened when Bernie was telling Rachel Maddow, 'what he really thinks' about the Corporate Media's kid-glove 1-dimension treatment of Donald Trump when it comes to his positions on the Issues.
This happened at Sanders' recent Townhall event on MSNBC, with Ms Maddow moderating.

A young friend of mine wrote what I think is a very good article for Salon last week. I posted a diary about it over at DK, but I thought I'd post it here, too, because I think a number of you would like it and you may have missed it over there. Thanks to the admins for getting me my password!
Kos is engaged and is going to try to win back his blog! Yes, for the second time in two days, he has a post about Devine and the super delegates. The purpose is to convince people Bernie has no chance to win.
That has been his theme since early March, but now he is accelerating it.
Every day, people will be bombarded with these messages. Surrender Dorothy, you have no chance.
The aim is to cut off donations and votes for Bernie.
Please give this a listen. She speaks for me, and for the 99%, because we're talking to each other. F the DNC and the media. This isn't about them, it's about us.

With 247 delegates at stake, New York is a prize not to miss. This Superstate is undoubtedly the key to a Bernie Sanders nomination and presidency. Bernie, no doubt, is going to win the vast majority of the delegates at stake in the West and cut significantly into Hillary’s lead. If Bernie then goes on to win New York and California, the two Superstates, then he has the nomination locked in. But it gets even better. Bernie has a full two weeks to campaign in one state!

Bernie Sanders’ campaign on Wednesday moved into the second half of the Democratic Party delegate selection process with slightly more than 50 percent of pledged delegates remaining to be selected.
While Senator Sander is correct, that when we as a nation come together, there's nothing we can not do. However, being "pragmatic" about it, we need to insure we don't have to keep demonstrating in the streets to achieve our goals, rather we need to make sure we have the right people, in the right places, to insure our agenda, a progressive agenda and progressive candidates are on the table, and most especially on the ballot in down ballot races.
