Today was a rough day. But it doesn't change the future.

You have slime bucket Roberta Lange ignoring a legally put forth call for a vote on a motion. Instead of obeying the convention rules, she walks right out of the room!

And this hands the Nevada caucus over to Hillary - illegally, and with a total disregard that if we didn't have the FBI in the pockets of the Clinton Family, Ms Lange could be indicted for voter suppression. This felony charge is in the US Civil code and involves a fine of $ 10,000 and a year in prison or both! But usually an individual has to get someone in the FBI to go after the criminal who was the perp.

Back in 2004, I got exactly nowhere the day I tried to get the FBI after a voter suppressing County Employee, and it probably won't happen in Nevada in 2016. However, if someone who was witness to the event does call on the FBI, I suggest they not give up and keep asking "Could I talk to your Supervisor?" when refused by lower level FBI agents, until they talk to the top official at the FBI, if necessary.

But putting that all aside, the thing is, nothing has changed.

Hillary Clinton is still facing karmic retribution.

Karmic Retribution occurred once before in my Lifetime,.

Remember Mandela's ascension into office? "Logically speaking" Mandela should never have gotten that top spot in South Africa. But it happened.

And it is now the turn of all of us who really want a return to True Democracy to create the Ripples that become the Wave that become a Bernie Presidency.The Collective Manifestation of every man woman and child whose lives have been ripped asunder by the neo cons, all of us will be pining for having what is needed to happen on such levels of intensity that it will happen.

I am planning on making my way to Philadelphia, and to be part of the Million Person March on Philly. i was too young to go to the Democratic Convention in 1968, and these days I often feel too old to go outside and work in the garden. But come hell or high water, I will be there.

It should be noted that the Washington Post has only an interest

in making and keeping happy those Political Big Shots that Jeff Bezos will be going to for favors. (Bezos purchased Wash Po some time ago.)

Bezos had his lobbyists orchestrate the hand over of the US Postal service to Amazon, Spring of 2007. (Under a "Democratic Majority" Congress, BTW.)

Bezos thinks Hillary has a lock on the election - his reporters bring only puff pieces to their editors' desk for approval.

Don't expect much critical thinking aimed at HRC from this source.

Gotta keep that US Postal Service as part and parcel of Amazon's "free delivery" mail room. (And delivery is not really free - smaller businesses have been paying a heftier US Postal charge since Spring 2007, so Amazon can let its customers get a break.)

MAY I ask this: Do people here who remember Watergate

view the early days of Watergate discussion as a Left Wing Talking Point?

Or were early Watergate discussions a serious and concentrated attempt by people who care about the law to keep a President in line?

To demonstrate that even Richard Nixon was not above the law?

I ask that question, because in this New Era, of Corporate-Loving, Big-Industry-Bought and Paid for Politicians, we have one Hillary Clinton running for office.

There are questions galore for this candidate. Some of these questions are the subject of FBI investigatory activities.

One question includes the fact that the Clinton Foundation employed someone named Sid Blumenthal.

Mr Blumenthal apparently spent quite a bit of his time, and that of Secretary of State Clinton's time, discussing which smaller nations in the Middle East should be the subject of our wars.

Why is that? What is the attitude of the Clinton Foundation regarding how one of their employees, a man who was making ten thousand a month, and supposedly not biking medicine up dusty trails of third world nations to bring impoverished people medicine but rather than that, was perusing his paid time as an employee to pursue policies of war. Why was that?

Who is Mr Giustra, another Clinton Foundation supporter?

If the Clintons want to run a Foundation that offers up help to poor people of the world, I have no problem with that.

But why is there this element of sleeze going on? What does it mean?

Couldn't they set up a second foundation, such as for instance, the neo con-istic Hoover Institute, where the Clintons could run their other more nefarious activities? Isn't it possible that they have enough money to run more than one Foundation or Institute?

Rather than continuing their present policy of conjoining what are two separate and totally opposite activities under one umbrella?

"Goddamn it, Bernie Sanders, will you please concede already!"

Anyone else here notice how fervent the message is, that this will be a nation of Trump if Bern doesn't concede already.

The meme shows us how extremely desperate the Hill forces are, to have him out of the way before the "Republican " Trump can make it clear just what HRC has been up to all these years.

In our progressive attempts to defeat the RW neocons now running the Democratic Party

Now we Progressives get called Right Wing? How weird is that?

Nothing to see here, folks. The Clinton Foundation is all about Good Works,

Peace and Love and fairy dust.

And it really is only about "helping the Children."

Well, except for that bump in the payments to Bill for his speeches in front of corporate podiums.

And except for Algeria giving lots of dough to said foundation while Algerian officials were conducting talks with the HRC-led State Department.

And then there is that nasty little matter of how one woman, who likes Big Business-style profitable deals and also wants to President, helped Russians secure the sale of one fifth of this nation's uranium supply.

And reports keep coming in about all the armaments dealings that have probably come about due to how so many officials in nations where deadly armaments are a daily part of life have gone and ponied up monies to same Foundation.

2010 - 2012: The Clinton Foundation incorrectly lists no donations whatsoever from foreign governments in its yearly tax returns. These three years are the only full fiscal years during Clinton's term as secretary of state. In the immediately previous years, foreign governments donated tens of millions of dollars every year. In 2015, Reuters will report that in fact foreign governments did continue to give tens of millions each year during this time. After Reuters discovers the discrepancies, The Clinton Foundation will acknowledge the oversight and claims it will refile at least five years of tax returns to fix it. However, the Clinton campaign will also call allegations of corruption in The Clinton Foundation "absurd conspiracy theories." (Reuters, 4/23/2015)

The Young Turks (TYT) show that the DLC has lost their minds:

The Democratic Establishment will anoint Joe Biden should Hillary be indicted:

If you have a spare moment to have some fun -

Go to Google.

Type in the word "crooked." That's it.

Then wait to see what is the first thing that comes up!

Hillary Clinton has "like-ability" and "trustworthiness" issues. So why in the world do

Bernie Sanders supporters get blamed for her character flaws!?!

She has had crazy backing in terms of having the entire machinery of the Democratic Party at her beck and call. She has a huge war chest, and yet people still refuse to like her or vote for her.

So who gets blamed for that? Why, of course, we Bernie Sanders supporters get blamed for Clintons's
un-likeability, her dishonesty, her selling out of the middle class.

You would think that we Bernie Sanders supporters had twisted her arms and made her sell out to Big Corporate America, just as her husband did while President and is doing now.

I for one refuse to take the blame. I am not responsible for her email server issues. I am not responsible for her decision to destroy by endless warfare so many countries in the Middle East. I am not responsible for her husband getting that three million bucks for five years from the Laureate Educational Institute, with some people saying that the State Department helped financially prop up that entity while Bill got the money from it.

Nor am I not responsible for her having looked the other way while the Clinton Foundation took in money as "charity donations" from the many Big Energy interests who wanted those "donations" not only as tax write-offs, but also as a way to curry favor from the State department. (Ever wonder why under Hillary there was so much pressure to get the Xl Pipeline done? Look no further than those Big Energy charity contributions!)
