We all know how important supreme court picks are. An older moderate is just the ticket.

Should be able to get this one past the pukes.

Hillary is well aware that the TPP can't be tweaked.

What does this make, like 3 this week?

This is what we are up against. This is from a fellow democrat. Posted here for discussion

can't stand the truth.
here is the truth

It is Bernie who is tearing apart the party. Bernie isn't even a democrat.He has absolutely no loyalty and is running as an independent in 2018.

We got our asses handed to us in 80, 84 and 88. It was a freakin' debacle. You say they(Clintons) are in it for themselves. If they were in it for themselves they would have gone right into the law profession. By 5-7 years they would both have been making over $1,000,000 each. I should know I work with the top attorneys in the country.I was just with the lawyer representing Bob McDonnell. The Rose law firm is a joke in the scheme of things.

The same goes for Obama. He could have named his tune coming from Harvard and being African American.

i went to Woodstock and marched on Washington in Oct. '69 in the first moratorium and the second march on Washington in '71.
McGovern was my first vote and I went to Obama's inauguration.

That being said i find bernie to be a phony. He has voted his conscious when votes didn't matter as he comes from a state that is isolated and insulated.
When he had a vote that mattered(the gun vote) where was his "liberal" values. He capitulated and was nothing more than a typical politician. How was that for a "profile in courage"?

On civil rights once he went to Vermont and black people didn't exist anymore. He did nothing for 50 years. watch the video form South Carolina in the church. He has never had an African American friend. It is pretty obvious. He grew up in a jewish clique in NYC. His civil rights stance was very typical of jews in NYC in the sixties.

I should know since i grew up in NYC in a Jewish clique. He whines about his dad. let me tell you about my family. My dad was from st. Louis and his mom who was German was arrested in 1910 for cavorting with Chinese people. He wasn't allowed to swim in the public pools in St.Louis. When he and his sister left they never went back.
I grew up in a laundry and shared a twin bed with my brother until i was 9 and he was 10. We grew up (5 of us) in 400 sq. ft. When we went to get a mortgage in 1962 with 45% down we had to eventually go to harlem to secure one. No one would lend us money.

Growing up in NYC as a jew is certainly no handicap and probably an advantage. I certainly know way more than Bernie about discrimination.
Did my family ever whine about it ,no we got up and kicked ass. My brother and I who slept in the bed are the two toughest guys I know. tougher than my younger brothers.

I got started later in life and now own my own business. At the age of forty I was buying shoes too small so i could get a deal and driving on used tires. I do make a good living but i busted my ass to do it. i work with some of the most famous attorneys in the country. Some are liberal and some are conservative.

I find Bernie to be a whiny asshole and weak.

A Hillary fundraiser with the NRA? Fuck all that. I am so saving this

for the next Bernie is a gun humper OP. A video would be awesome.
