I guess somebody said he was waiting for the DOJ to speak on this case, and now they have, so?

[Sheepshank]

1. not waiting for any pronouncement from Bernie...he'll simply employ excuse #569 for holding out

[seabeyond]

3. I dunno. It was all about DOJ. Nt

[seabeyond]

4. He is in a quandary, though. This is interesting. The last month we are told not about possible

indictment. All about taking it to the convention "for the people".

So now what does he do? Lol.

[puffy socks]

33. oh , haven't you heard? it's not about Bernie running for president...

even though we just went through several agonizing months of Bernie and supporters complaining about rigging, election fraud, rigged coins, the unfair SD system, the closed primaries etc.
According to them its never been about Bernie and Bernie getting elected, it's always been all about this Progressive "revolution" to get the ordinary unenlightened average American Joes to be enlightened , using all the issues and goals and even words that Dems have been fighting tooth and nail for over the past few decades.

[seabeyond]

37. Ya know.... exactly and from day one. Very offensive, insulting. But anyone knows it is and still

that is what he campaigned on. I found it fascinating Sanders walking into a 'need' state of New York and trashing Wall street. Many of the voters have profited from wall street as far as employees, business owners, business owners employees.

I felt that a real interesting move to walk into New York City and diss New York City, while expecting their vote.

[lunamagica]

26. Yeah. He said he was waiting (hoping) for de DoJ determination

Well, there it is, Sanders. What you thought was your last hope, gone

[seabeyond]

2. Well, yea. I just read Sanders is ready to endorse. So, his last chance, not by vote but hoping our

Democratic nominee goes to jail, has decided the "race" is over.

Sheeeeeit.

[nolawarlock]

5. Link?

[seabeyond]

6. Not even a Please?

[nolawarlock]

8. Please. :-D

Seriously, if Bernie said he's ready to endorse, I think that's pretty important.

[nolawarlock]

9. I'm seeing nothing on news.google.com about Sanders being ready to endorse.

I just see him being [justifiably] booed by Democrats in Congress.

[seabeyond]

10. Yes, he was booed and he earned that boo.He has been insulting us, taking ownership of our stuff

for a year. So yea... they booed when he started on about the endorsing shit. We are tired of it. Not a weapon to hold over our head.

[tonedevil]

13. Representative Connolly...

says that isn't true https://twitter.com/GerryConnolly/status/750710655494139904 Maybe you aren't the we you think you are.

[seabeyond]

14. Are there only particular "we the people"? Because when that was suggested too, we were told

emphatically that we included us all.

Hm

Such a quandary. Another quandary. This is interesting times, for sure.

[tonedevil]

16. I was just reacting to you...

saying "we" are tired of it as though Congress had actually booed and you and they were of a like mind regarding Senator Sanders.

[seabeyond]

18. Yes. We.... are part of the people, too. New concept. And we .... had the strong majority of the

vote/voice.

We, .... Won't be excluded.

[tonedevil]

19. We didn't boo...

Senator Sanders. I don't know why you need to strongly reiterate that you are part of "We The People" nor do I know who you feel was trying to exclude you. I was referring to the we that was rumored to have booed, but according to Representative Connolly, who was actually there, did not.

[seabeyond]

22. I have been listening to Sanders people tell me repeatedly I and all the Dems who do not support

Sanders and PP, NERAL, Clinton, Obama, DWS, Lewis and many many more, do not get to be included in the we because.... Oligarchy.

And if there was no boo, well, bummer. Once again, the Dems take the higher road in the face of more insults.

[tonedevil]

23. I'm sorry you feel you have been...

disrespected, but that has not been my doing. It seems kind of petty to think it a bummer that Senator Sanders wasn't booed by Congressional Democrats. I guess you don't much care for the higher road you mentioned.

[seabeyond]

24. Sanders was telling them, ... They are not good enough. That answers both parts of your comment.

[tonedevil]

30. I have no idea...

what exactly Senator Sanders said that you interpret as telling Congressional Democrats they are not good enough, but it brings to mind a quote from the Rock Man in The Point "You see what you want to see and you hear what you want to hear".

[seabeyond]

31. True that. Hence, calling all that didn't support him, establishment might not have been a good move

[DLCWIdem]

50. MSNBC said he was booed

[nolawarlock]

34. I'm confused

Did you mean to say in post #2 that he was NOT ready to endorse? You had said "I just read Sanders is ready to endorse" so I asked for a link because the piece i read about his meeting at Congress didn't make that clear.

[seabeyond]

38. Right now we are in the back and forth of it. Who knows.

[nolawarlock]

40. Oh ok.

I just saw a link on another thread about it. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-campaigns-talks-endorsement-week/story?id=40389661

[nolawarlock]

42. He's making a mockery of the whole process.

[seabeyond]

45. It is fascinating though. I have never really been bothered he would hurt us. I do not think he

has, can or will. He does not have the right.... Whatever. But, it has all been a very interesting roller coaster ride, more standing back and watching instead of jumping on the ride.

All this is new stuff to see, listen to, see the results.

[nolawarlock]

48. I do think his waffling has continued to fuel the delusion of his most vociferous fans ...

... but they are so small even by comparison to the PUMAs of 2008 that I'm not sure it matters. The independents may be affected but most of the ones I know are going for Hillary, even ones who hate her. They hate her but they hate Trump more. I couldn't care less. A vote's a vote. :-D

I think the endorsement will help, naturally, but I don't think it will help all that much. Obama has great approval ratings and his stumps for her will be worth way more than Sanders. He's a much better orator than Sanders and has more than just one stump speech to repeat over and over.

[seabeyond]

53. I agree with everything. Further watching the last year, Clinton herself runs a damn strong campaign

I said a while ago, After California and then DC, I like where Clinton is in this.

[seabeyond]

55. I think I am thinking about the more broader issues in contrast of the two.

Not going to get into it a lot, but it sure clarified some stuff. Like Dems being the adult in the room, stuff like that.

[seabeyond]

11. He also said that he was not endorsing because he was waiting for DOJ. So, department of Justice

made it clear to him this afternoon. It was a given, obvious, we all got it. But, Sanders had to hear it out loud. So whatever. Sanders and his people are the ones that use "we the people" with exclusion. As i pointed out by your post... and my reply.

[lunamagica]

27. Booed for saying the goal wasn't winning elections. He deserved it

[tonedevil]

28. The only people saying...

Senator Sanders was booed are anonymous. Representative Connolly on the other hand is quite willing to be identified and he said no booing occurred. https://twitter.com/GerryConnolly/status/750710655494139904

[lunamagica]

29. Regardless wether it happened or not (I believe it did) he deserved a booing

for what he said

[tonedevil]

32. Of course you would...

believe someone anonymous who says what you want to hear over a sitting Democratic Congressman who clearly identified himself.

[lunamagica]

51. Sanders just admitted on the Chris Hayes show that, in fact, he was booed

[tonedevil]

59. I don't know...

what Senator Sanders said, but joining Representative Connolly are Representative Steny Hoyer and House Democratic Caucus Chair Xavier Becerra who also say they did not hear booing. I wasn't there so I don't know what happened.

[lunamagica]

60. It will get replayed at eleven you can listen to him yourself

[DLCWIdem]

52. He was interviewed this early afternoon and he himself said he was booed

On MSNBC he said something like they wasn't much booing. Or there was only a little booing.

[tonedevil]

61. I just responded in...

#59 so not to repeat myself I'll just say there are three Congress people who say there wasn't any booing.

[geek tragedy]

7. heads exploding at Judicialwatch Pimping Rejects nt

[BobbyDrake]

21. That's the best one yet, GT! nt

[nolawarlock]

35. hahahahahahahha!

That's great!!! I liked Jackass Delusionals as well. Mine was Jim Jones Radicals but I like yours more!

[NCTraveler]

12. Sanders is in get off my lawn mode.

He doesn't realize he is yelling from the front yard of my crazy uncle across the street.

[seabeyond]

15. Ha ha hahahahaha. You know, this is interesting to see. I wonder what else will happen.

The gals in my office were whining about Obama giving Clinton a lift to the rally. It was even escalated so I could hear it in front. I am really going to trip watching Clinton run this GE race. It will be very insightful and focused, lots to see.

[nolawarlock]

36. Well we may be off his lawn,

But he's off his rocker.

[seabeyond]

39. I encouraged my kids to walk on the grass. Preferably without shoes. Get a real feel of that lawn

someone spent a lot of time and water, making all pretty. One of the joys in life. When did we decide no one was allowed to walk on the lawn?

[nolawarlock]

41. So true! :-D

And rocking chairs are meant to be rocked in as well. Tee hee.

[seabeyond]

43. Lol. It is all about the soothing. For sure. Nt

[nolawarlock]

44. Sheesh!

The need to assuage this man's broken December dreams of becoming president is just one more emblem of what's wrong with our age of entitlement. It's like, dude, you lost. Get over it and take up crochet or something.

[seabeyond]

47. Oh... and all we saw in privilege and entitlement this last year, all around. As I said,

we were given so much to grow and focus and take Trump down. This, I do appreciate from Sanders.

[nolawarlock]

49. In that regard, yes

I think Sanders made her a better candidate because she was that much tougher by the time the primary was pretty much decided. And I am glad the party has spoken against Citizens United and the death penalty. If Sanders helped with that, then I am grateful to him for it. There are positions he takes I do agree with, but I think he is far too uncompromising to actually put in that chair.

[seabeyond]

54. Citizens United has been the Dems issue, Clinton and Obama since way before Sanders ever

spoke the issue. And Obama has fought where he could with being a part bringing suits that have produced some results. This is what really bothers me about Sanders. I have been aware of this discussion for years, and listening to our Dems. They are very vocal. Sanders doesn't get to own the issue. And though Clinton is for DP, or whatever her position is, the Dems have always been strong on that position. So no.... Sanders does not get to own it.

This is one of my loudest complaint of the Sanders campaign the last year.

[nolawarlock]

57. Yeah, I've noticed that too.

He's coopted a lot of our issues.

[mcar]

17. K&R

[BobbyDrake]

20. "But... but... but Obama hasn't weighed in yet! Yeah, that's the ticket! I'm waiting on Obama!" nt

[seabeyond]

25. See, ... SEE, you found it. Nt

[MineralMan]

46. Good quick response.

Over. The House GOP will have its little campaign session with Comey, so they can brag to constituents, and it will be over.

Took too long.

[MFM008]

56. Moh

where have you been I have had to do


all morning

[Gabi Hayes]

58. WTF? fifty posts and almost every one is irrelevant BULLSHIT

all this garbage talk has exactly WHAT to do with justice, except very tangentially?

the four years from now Bernie will be campaigning for Hillary's re-election, as much as it pains me to say that. unless, of course, the unthinkable happens

hows about staying on topic, and discussing the massive fraud being perpetrated on low information news consumers by the usual admixture of right wing maniacs and lazy, greedy MSM tools?

thank you

[unblock]

62. yay! i was worried that the doj wouldn't close the matter for weeks.

during which republicans would keep pressing for an indictment notwithstanding comey's recommendation.

glad it became official quickly and that republicans are reduced to calling for an investigation of the investigation!
