I have had to leave the internet to get some peace of mind. The time was passing excrutiatingly slowly. Nails have disappeared. Please let this be the beginning of the end of cranky pants.
This was a stupid ‘Hail Mary Pass’ designed to change the rules during the game. It’s a closed primary. If Independents wanted to vote in it they had to register as Dems. It’s not complicated. I hope this ruling averts any similar fool moves in PA and other closed primary states.
I’m beginning to think hedoes understand the basics, but he’s misleading people to cause trouble. This is to distract his voters from the fact thta he’s losing and make them want to keep contributing because Sanders is being betrayed by the Dems.
A Superior Court judge ruled last week that a lawsuit can move forward against the maker of a rifle used in the December 2012 Sandy Hook tragedy, and on Tuesday the two sides agreed to a trial date of April 3, 2018.
The manufacturer of the rifle used in the tragedy was expected to file a motion to strike, but the judge stuck with her decision to allow the lawsuit to move forward. All along, Freedom Group has argued that it is protected by a 2005 federal law that shields gun manufacturers from most lawsuits over criminal use of their products. However, lawyers for the plaintiffs say there is an exception to the federal law that allows litigation against companies that know, or show know, that its weapons are likely to be used in a way that risks injury to others.
The lawsuit appears to be the first of its kind to claim the exception against a gun manufacturer.
I hope with all my heart that the Sandy Hook families get the best lawyers in the country and win a resounding victory against these gun manufacturers. Among the ten million reasons why we need a Democratic Congress is the fact that this 2005 legislation must be repealed. Let the gun manufacturers pay through the nose for the destruction they’ve wreaked on this country.
Please! can we just get on the general election. I swear, if I have to hear the words rigged, oligarchs, or Wall Street again I’m going to slit my wristises.
Honestly, Donna, you have to wonder how any of these people ever graduated from school or passed a test. You want to participate in a game, you read the rules. If you don’t understand them, you ask. You don’t try to change the rules in the middle of the game because you’re losing. Our three-year old granddaughter tried this on us during a game of bingo until I gave her the side eye and talked to her about about being fair. If you’re older than three, you have no excuses.
The Sanders campaign must know this stuff. they are just cynically using this as a way to keep their supporters engaged and contributing. Sanders wants revenge because the Dems did not crown him king. As you see, I have given up on the high road and trying to give him the benefit of the doubt. I have no use for him any more and I hope to Heaven I don’t have to vote for him. Apart from his acolytes, I think he has forfeited any shred of respect he had.
What it seems like is that according to Bernie he needed the Democrat Party to run for President due to the money and organizational help. It seems he is really running as an Independent, which he has been the majority of his life, using the Democratic Party to get to his end. I do not think he ever was really a Democrat. I use to think he stuck with the same issues his whole political life and viewed that as authentic. That may be, but he is not ethical in all areas, in fact he is belligerent and against compromise according to his voting history. He does not see nuance or looking at both sides. Neither do a lot of his supporters.
So I’m reading that some of the GOP congress people aren’t going to the convention. They really are the party of wimps. Provide the worst collection ever of Presidential nominees & when they realise their choice is bankrupt multi married reality star or a wingnut who will close the country down because he can – they simply hide under the bed with their eyes shut.
I wouldn’t attend either. Makes you wonder why they expect us to vote for any candidate left standing after what is expected to be a very rowdy (and embarrassing) convention.
I wouldn’t go either – but it was my understanding that congress people are meant to be the party leaders and are at the convention to support their candidate – maybe I have it wrong – If Bernie were the candidate would the dems stay away?
No, the Dems would have no reason to stay away if Bernie was our candidate. We’re not Republicans. We’d rally around Bernie to make sure that Ted or Donald aren’t elected in November.
You mean that I can’t leave a muti-thousand Bernie rally and walk across the street to cast my vote, even though I believe now that I am an Independent even though I was a Republican yesterday?
I wish Al Giordino would publish the part of last night’s newsletter where he explained BS’ rally in the South Bronx and the history of the South Bronx. Some of the best political journalism I’ve ever read. But the newsletter is subscription only. It was beautiful.
Or taking ten members of his family to the Vatican to give a speech attended by a dozen people and shaking the Pope’s hand when he comes down the stairs to depart his building.
Now the hardest part for Obama to get elected, being Black, is attributed to why it was easy for him to win. I am White/Native American and I had to convince AAs I knew to vote for Barack as they were afraid he could not win or he might be assassinated.

Thank you Chips!
Congrats NCLB! I couple less o’s and I would’ve got ya! 😀
Wooooot!
Looks like NCLB and Dudette are twin winners! This primary day is dragging. C’mon, Hillary – time to demolish the cranky old guy’s delusions.
I have had to leave the internet to get some peace of mind. The time was passing excrutiatingly slowly. Nails have disappeared. Please let this be the beginning of the end of cranky pants.
Oh, the man with the small hands. May his small hand never rise to swear the dignified oath of the solemn office of the POTUS.
That toon is both funny and scary! 😀
Dame Delicious, *still* howling at your tweet 😆
LOL! Greetings My Queen! It pleases me that you are pleased! 😀
Dudette, I cheerfully and proudly award you the twitter prize of the day. I wish I could cast this tweet in bronze.
Thank you kindly, JG! 🙂
I second that. Its delicious.
You’re right Chips – Dudette’s tweet is pretty funny and also quite accurate in portraying the feelings of a lot of us here in the Village
🙂
My feelings exactly, Dudette.
🙂

Ha! I read where they picked some random personal injury lawyer to file the suit, and the brief was a complete joke.
Any serious campaign knows election law attorneys and has them on speed dial.
BS actually told an Indie that he “had a right to vote.” This guy doesn’t understand the basics of anything.
His ads in IL (and I assume elsewhere) kept harping on big corporations and banks “playing by the rules”.
I’m beginning to think hedoes understand the basics, but he’s misleading people to cause trouble. This is to distract his voters from the fact thta he’s losing and make them want to keep contributing because Sanders is being betrayed by the Dems.
“Sandy Hook victims’ families get trial date in lawsuit against rifle maker”

This issue is a big reason why I want Hillary to win. She stuck her neck out on gun violence before it was considered politically savvy to do so.
Please! can we just get on the general election. I swear, if I have to hear the words rigged, oligarchs, or Wall Street again I’m going to slit my wristises.
Not to mention railing against the billionaires and millionaires!
I feel ya!
Testing
Pheeeeeeeeeeeew! All good with commenting again Donna?
Yep! The reboot fixed whatever problem I was having. 🙄
Hallelujah!
Burnie and his peeps pissed me off so much, I sent Hillary some money last night.

Great tweet! Needs to be spread far and wide.

Congrats to NCLB and Dudette for Winning the TOD Marathon Au ⭐ ⭐
Actually NCLB won; I’m a happy 2nd. 🙂
Thank you both for the congratulations and the recognition of the incredible efforts I put in landing first!
😀
Wow! Just shows you the state of journalism in this country.
Hold one for a minute, did Shaun King not look at his columns after they were edited?
Exactly!!!
Roughly translated: We believe in science and we will have high-speed rails all across our country before the great satan’s country.
Yup.
🙂
I hate election day. I’m always a nervous nellie.
Come on NY put his butt to bed!!!
“Put his butt to bed” 😆 I want a tee with that on it!!!!
😉
Hollah! 😀

And I forgot to say GM from my world – love the tune Nerdy – so close to perfect
Not bad at all. I’ll certainly be fine with a Clinton Presidency as long as she continues President Obama’s legacy.
She’s the only candidate that will. She must become POTUS.
One more: Hillary is crooked!
I believe someone said that the deadline for new voter registration was late March.
That is correct. They had to be received by the board of elections no later than March 30th to be eligible to vote in the Presidential Primary.
Thanks for confirming, Donna. 🙂
I thought it was March 25 for new registrations.
Oops. You said “received” by March 30. My bad.
You mean that I can’t leave a muti-thousand Bernie rally and walk across the street to cast my vote, even though I believe now that I am an Independent even though I was a Republican yesterday?
I wish Al Giordino would publish the part of last night’s newsletter where he explained BS’ rally in the South Bronx and the history of the South Bronx. Some of the best political journalism I’ve ever read. But the newsletter is subscription only. It was beautiful.
I thought I heard or read changing parties was October and newly registered was March. Anyone else hear that?
You are correct, Obama Grandmama.
Holy shit. That being said, I don’t trust exit polls and I wish there were no results reported until every poll is closed. But that’s just me.
GE, TOD! Busy day, full of med appointments. Going to fix a quick bite to eat then head to bed…
hmmmm…
Yep. That’s what you get when you promote bigotry.
Boom!
Boom!
Upon my suggestion, my boss let everyone go at 4pm so they can go vote. No excuse!
Good for you NCLB!
Awesome!
ABC is warning that exit poll data may change a lot after 9:00, because the polls opened at noon outside of NYC. We’ll see.
President Barack Obama leaves the Oval Office while departing the White House.
He’s whistling again, isn’t he? ❤
Yes, he is. Getting out of Washington!
…however me spending millions in ads against my opponent is the best use of people’s money.
Or taking ten members of his family to the Vatican to give a speech attended by a dozen people and shaking the Pope’s hand when he comes down the stairs to depart his building.
Good for him. I wish him all the best.
That’s great!
Ain’t that some shit?
Now the hardest part for Obama to get elected, being Black, is attributed to why it was easy for him to win. I am White/Native American and I had to convince AAs I knew to vote for Barack as they were afraid he could not win or he might be assassinated.
Is it Bernt Toast Time yet? I’m fucking over his damn whining.
I find the MUTE button very soothing. 🙂
Oh, J’OB…I don’t even HAVE the TV on! Just reading and trying to catch up on the news I’ve missed….honestly, I’m over that guy…months ago:)
Also, too, I haven’t heard Trump’s voice in days! It’s like I’ve been to a spa – Ha!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too! (h/t MadameSophe)
