On field drug testing . . .
https://www.propublica.org/article/common-roadside-drug-test-routinely-produces-false-positives
. . . anyone think to field test the Lincoln County law enforcement for THC contamination???
I knew that THC-in-the-water story was bogus. That's why hash is sold as an oil or as shatter (wax) in the shops. THC is fat soluble; you can't extract it with water.
I told my son a couple days ago it would turn out like this. The science just didn't add up.
Just another hyperbolic over-reaction from the pot haters.
It's official…..the inmates are now running the asylum….
The Bernie supporters have turned on, and are booing, their leader.
Bernie or Busters? Nope. Now they're just Bernie Busters. No "or".They support letting Trump and the Rs win and Bernie losing all his power and influence if they can't have him for Prez. Or else they figure the grown ups will rescue them from the consequences so they feel free to indulge in their self dramatizing tantrums.
Those might've been the echos of Debbie Wasserman Schultz getting herself booed by the Florida delegation (for being a Corporate Suckup and Anti-Progressive Tool) and having to abdicate all her responsibilities as DNC chair:
Even as she managed to have the DNC hacked under her watch, the ugliest part of this is that we learned all these high paid Professional Left consultants are morons of the first order and that their brains have been starved of oxygen by being in the DC bubble for far too long.
Clinton campaign pulls ads from Colorado
Probably a smart move by HRC. Trump's Colorado campaign is headed by Patrick Davis, a con artist who steals from Republicans – so I wouldn't expect to see massive Trump ad buys in Colorado….or even much of a ground game.
I wouldn't take anything for granted in this election……….go for 50. And don't let the fact that CO Republicans are consistently off in their presidential picks (Cruz, Santorum, Carson, really?) convince you they won't support Trump. They will.
Lets hope you are right. But we still need to knit tpogether a campaign that elects hillary, bennet, morgan, gail, annd both houses of the lege. Sweep the field!
I'm still seeing the ad with the chldren watching Trump say horrible things approved by HRC paid for by some group, maybe not exactly the Clinton campaign.
With a lead established here they might be planning to spend more right now in other states. Doesn't mean they're done here. It's a long slog until November.
I said it before: Democrats being Democrats, we will surely find a way to fuck this up
We're working on it day and night, less.
Bernie's doing what he does best at the DNC: a solid barn-burning wonky policy speech, emphasizing areas of agreement and unity with Clinton. Many of his supporters are in tears, though. He did take some victory laps for concessions in the platform and policy changes, and why shouldn't he?
To paraphrase David T8, it's all about the "Why" – the future we want – …not the Who. Just being a gender pioneer isn't enough to inspire, as being an ethnic pioneer wasn't enough for Obama.
Why doesn't Hillary Clinton inspire vision the way Sanders and Obama do and did? Those of you who are Hillary supporters, what vision, which policies, what strong emotional response, does she inspire? Cause I'm voting for her, but definitely not feeling it. Try to answer without mentioning Trump.
According to polling between 85% and 90% of Bernie supporters are already saying they're willing to vote for HRC. The most impassioned Bernie or Bust delegates represent a distinct minority but the talking heads just love to interview them. What do you you say to those few who said in interviews tonight that they trust everything Bernie says except when he urges them to support HRC and points out how much he and HRC have come together on the issues.
What do you say to the few nitwits complaining that they dissed Bernie by having him go last which everyone knows is where the star of the evening is supposed to go. Last is top billing. That's why lesser bands open for the main event band, not the other way around. I know many of them have never been a delegate to a convention before but I'm pretty sure most of them have been to concert.
Bernie supporters should be celebrating all they've achieved and realizing that the only way their movement can continue to achieve is by giving Bernie and like minded Dem Congress members the Dem President, Dem majorities in Congress and Dem appointed Supreme Court Justices they need.
Bernie's giving it his best shot, bringing up all the positive reasons to vote for HRC, all the areas where they are in agreement, all the areas where his movement’s goals are her goals but a small minority of his followers, much more prevalent among convention delegates than over all, are just too ignorant and too flaky to ever grasp that if they aren't voting to give Bernie the President and majorities he needs, they're voting against him, their movement and themselves. They will have no voice, no power, will get nothing at all with a GOP administration, majorities and Supreme Court in place.
The grown ups will just have to get it done without them.
Obviouslyy, mj, you don't and can't get it. You could have bee n in my living room when my wife, 69, my daughter, 40, and my granddaughter, 15, watched michelle obama talk about what it would mean to tell a young girl that she could grow up to be president. There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Cont.
100 years from now, they will write about this election as the moment that one woman – a courgeous, hard- working but also laughing and caring woman, was finally nominated to the highest office in the land. For the future of humanity, let us pray they also write that she won that office.
BC, "willing to vote for HRC" is not the same thing as impassioned, excited, joyful about voting for HRC. I'm in that former group, but not the latter. I'm asking why not, and unlike V, I don't think 'not getting it" is a character or mental defect on my part.
V, I did watch Michelle Obama and Elizabeth Warren, and appreciated their speeches. To my mind, both women have qualities of authenticity and humanity, ability to connect with their audiences, that HRC does not.
I think it may be simply that Hillary Clinton lacks the oratorical skills of an Obama, and the simple ability to connect with people that Bill has. All the HRC policies I like are those she was persuaded to adopt or expand by Bernie. Really, it was his progressive policies coupled with his personal integrity that impelled his supporters to support him. HRC lacks both those qualities, IMHO. Maybe it's just that ancient saying that "Democrats fall in love [with their candidate], while Republicans fall in line."
Republicans are falling in line with a singularly unloveable candidate this year. Even our Pols trolls seem like grooms at a shotgun wedding. Aside from V's infatuation, I wonder how many Dems are excited about Hillary the way they were about Obama. All you say about the Supreme Court and Dem majorities in Congress is true, BC, but we Sanders supporters are going to vote with our heads, not our hearts, this year.
GOTV is going to be a completely necessary bearcat this election, because the passion that brought in volunteers and house parties and OFA chapters galore won't be there. We (I do count myself in that number) will be nagging and dragging people to turn in their ballots. If my little county Dems office ever gets me my lists, I'll canvass even. Colorado never did like Trump, but in CO as in other states, GOTV is going to be critical.
erasing dupe
Your whole framework thatyou wanted addressed, mj, demanded that we ignore history. Forget that Obama is mixed race and that his election followed 400 years of slavery and oppression.
Likewise you demanded a reason for hillary that ignored gender. The three generations of women in my living room would have laughed at that. If you don’t understand that history needs symbols then you must think Rosa Parks just wanted more frequent bus service.
I agree with that GOTV statement, mama. Per my comment in the Tuesday Open Thread, I consider this to be a fait accompli, and will shift my effort to the general. All the while, I will be encouraging Bernie supporters of every ilk to remember what it is we are after. Remember there is only one way to continue the revolution…personally.
I do think you're over-estimating the number of super reluctant Bernie voters.
While you're nagging and dragging the most resistant, maybe you could remind them that Bernie and his entire agenda go "poof" unless we elect HRC President, take back the Senate and make damn sure we own the Supreme Court. Also that if HRC wasn't fully aware of how much she needs them she wouldn't have given Bernie so much of what he wants on a silver platter… which she has… including the head of her Clinton loyalist DNC Chair.
