to hire the likes of Bernie Sanders as an advisor with some power.
I voted for Stein, but I recall the days of old when the Donald was more liberal. The one thing I think we can do is to call upon him to provide a more balanced coterie. He has been inundated by freaked out Republicans for the past months, so he is ready to hear our message.
...is intense. Not joy, but a feeling of deep relief.
Kind of like the feeling you'd get if you witnessed some really bad person, whom you have long felt tremendously threatened by, is stopped cold from continuing to threaten you by someone you don't like either, but who threatens you less.
And, it's getting uglier...Trump just moved ahead of Clinton in Pennsylvania.
My advice: Go over to Orange State and make a statement by rec'ing THIS POST. (Try not to get yourself banned in the process of doing same; if you haven't been banned there, already.)
A couple of comments from yours truly over "there," last night, and over the past hour...
The clip below is about 4 minutes long. It says a lot of what I've been saying for the last 20 years. The clip stops before Moore goes on to make the case for Hillary (or so I'm told). But watch it. Powerful stuff. But the corporate media tells the masses that the only choice they have is between the Dem and the Repub.

I would like to do a thought experiment.
I'm going to present three recent news articles, and I would like the C99P to imagine what the news media coverage would be like if the names "Hillary Clinton" and "Donald Trump" were swapped in these articles.
#1) 11-0 in CEOs
Matt's latest article is mostly a broadside against Trump and his supporters, something that is getting repetitive, but there are some great points in it.
When the event was done, as the crowd of other seething Deplorables filed past them, they and a few others remained in their chairs, staring fatalistically at the empty stage.
My precious granddaughter is 12 years old and in the seventh grade. What a wonderful time in human life. Twelve years old. They're half teenager, half child, able to watch SpongeBob, play with dolls and tell vulgar jokes all at once.
An essay was published here a few days ago titled "Why I am Voting For Hillary." While I respect the author for posting it here--"behind enemy lines," so to speak--I still felt that his reasoning was just the latest update of the same reasoning we hear every four years, which goes: You have to vote for the Democratic nominee because the Republicans are awful.
I concur: they are awful. And they'll likely always be awful. Yet some people are always trying to use this inescapable part of American political reality to justify all manner of backsliding by the other political party--you know, the one that claims to represent "the people."
So I would like to write a rebuttal here. Not of that article, but of that entire manner of thinking.
