I think I'm safe.

For that matter, "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest" was one of my favorite films (the Swedish original, that is). Even if that is only an oddball title that doesn't resemble the original at all. The original title is "Luftslottet som Sprengdes," or "The Castle in the Air That Got Blown Up," a title that I wouldn't at all mind being used about the Trump administration.

At some point one just has to cry ENOUGH! DFW May 2018 #7

So block by keyword, it's real easy. Agschmid May 2018 #8

It may seem odd DFW May 2018 #9

I don't block or ignore either, I get it. Agschmid May 2018 #10

If I had blocked the word "Bernie" to miss those posts you spoke of in the OP, Yonnie3 May 2018 #48

Isn't there also a Bernie Sanders group?? R B Garr May 2018 #19

I haven't looked, but there used to be one, I remember DFW May 2018 #72

Yes, that was not cool what was happening. R B Garr May 2018 #86

Enough, indeed. Thanks for the levity Hekate May 2018 #22

Hey Cha Gothmog May 2018 #93

He'll post a pic of Katrina in order to inoculate himself. n/t demmiblue May 2018 #101

The Bordom sisters are a welcome change of pace from Jeff Weaver. comradebillyboy May 2018 #11

But not generating more excitement, I fear. DFW May 2018 #12

C. C. Senor Hekate May 2018 #21

awesome...another thread ripping bernie.. Chakaconcarne May 2018 #23

It is not ripping Bernie treestar May 2018 #33

Thanks! You saved me the trouble. DFW May 2018 #63

Not surprised you didn't get it. It is about the silly "Bernie is . . ." threads that pronounce grantcart May 2018 #55

Yep, breathless threads when Bernie states the obvious. Some seem to think he invented emulatorloo May 2018 #59

From the relentless posts of a few on this board DFW May 2018 #99

Thom Hartman SCVDem May 2018 #24

It's weird that Thom Hartmann is so defensive about how much RT R B Garr May 2018 #26

Thom Hartman does not have a big Democratic audience these days. Demsrule86 May 2018 #27

I have Progressive Voices on my cell. SCVDem May 2018 #49

Sure...but he kind of burned his bridges in 16. Demsrule86 May 2018 #85

Consider his audience though...Dont listen to him also, i cant say why Eliot Rosewater May 2018 #28

the democratic party is screwed elmac May 2018 #43

pretty much... Chakaconcarne May 2018 #47

Thom's audience would certainly schew that way, so while I hope for somebody JCanete May 2018 #45

"thom hartmann"? Cha May 2018 #51

Sorry, Biden comes out #1 in most 2020 polls emulatorloo May 2018 #57

I would support Joe Biden in 2020 Gothmog May 2018 #94

To some degree, I give Thom Hartmann a pass on the subject of Bernie Sanders DFW May 2018 #64

And hilarity ensues! greatauntoftriplets May 2018 #25

Oh, my, you owe me a new keyboard! lunamagica May 2018 #29

Praise the Goddess. sheshe2 May 2018 #32

LOL. The one place Bernie rarely seems to be! treestar May 2018 #34

snarky. A post that had this kind of tenor targetted at JCanete May 2018 #35

You should take your own advice about R B Garr May 2018 #36

no, because such a spoof would absolutely be removed in seconds had it targetted any I mentioned. JCanete May 2018 #39

That's where your false realities fail you. This is not R B Garr May 2018 #41

I don't object to everything in it and I actually think that its funny and I get the point about JCanete May 2018 #42

It's just part of the spoof -- more like an acknowledgement that R B Garr May 2018 #44

edited my original post to reflect my more measured sentiments. JCanete May 2018 #46

Quit trying to personally insulting her.. "You live at least that Cha May 2018 #52

hey Cha! thanks for chiming in...your opinion is valued by me. I'll definitely think about JCanete May 2018 #53

Thanks, Cha! Some insist that reality is what one man says R B Garr May 2018 #60

Yeah, it's a Cha May 2018 #61

right, because I haven't formulated my own sense of the world far before 2 years ago. JCanete May 2018 #70

If you think this was directed at Sanders, you missed the point completely DFW May 2018 #65

it certainly opened the door for comments about how often he is touring versus hanging with JCanete May 2018 #69

Had the door previously been closed on such comments? Squinch May 2018 #95

point was in regards to what gets policed here and what doesn't. I don't think this post JCanete May 2018 #97

So this post is fine but it somehow, at the same time, is all about double standards Squinch May 2018 #98

Remember, "get a life" cannot be enforced in a court of law DFW May 2018 #103

remember when the gop and news networks went after Howard Dean elmac May 2018 #56

Howard is a personal friend, and I certainly do remember it, but I wasn't going after Sanders at all DFW May 2018 #66

He doesn't say 'millionaires' anymore because he is a millionaire now n/t emulatorloo May 2018 #58
