The internet equivalent of Venereal Disease

You know, those people that visit, and you spend 4 hours ridding your PC, no matter how strong your virus protection might be.

I swear to everything holy that I will not strangle my brother-in-law. He is a walking infection to every PC he touches. I have not figured out HOW he can do it (didn't happen on mine ... surprise, he can't lay a finger on it) but he somehow fucks up my mother's computer every time he comes down.

Please empty the recycling bin if you are deleting stuff so I don't have to see people blowing some guy. Not anything I am interested in, and I am fairly confident that my 79 year old mother isn't interested either (and there is a direct correlation - her computer is fine before they arrive).

I've begged and pleaded do not let him use your computer.

And here I am again.

This is the SIXTH time I've had to rid my mother's computer of the internet equivalent of venereal disease.

My take on the damn outrageous violence in our Criminal Justice system.

If it needs to be moved to GD, I'll close it.

Black Lives Matter. African Americans are regularly executed by police fire in the street rather than tried in a court of law, regularly being given longer prison sentences for minor crimes, and regularly harassed by the police.

The MSM tries to gloss over it by pushing idiots that are harping about black on black crime. Uh, it's horrible when criminals shoot each other, but if you get murdered by the "justice" system, that's a whole other bag of wax.

The Justice system should be here for all of us, not to execute all of us if we don't conform to white prejudiced society.

I'm white, and I recognize it.

People point at China - we've executed more people in the last 20 years than any country on the planet via extrajudicial violence. No trial, just summary execution by those that deem themselves judge, jury and executioner.

Let's not even stop addressing the myriad things that need reform, but yes, the criminal justice system is out of control and criminal itself.

And don't even get me started with how the "justice" system treats transgendered people.

Here is what regular people are saying about Bernie

"It's just nice to be FOR something again. Instead of constantly being outraged, harassed and annoyed.

Let the conservative trickle-down 1% be annoyed for a while.

Go Bernie!"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/h-a-goodman/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton_b_7761072.html

I am FOR his ideas. I am FOR what he has been advocating for all of his political life.

If you aren't for the things he has stood up for, well, you aren't for the kind of USA I believe in. I want our nation to start caring about people, caring about each other, and caring about our country. We need to start investing in America.

If I was a Hillary Clinton supporter, I'd be angry.

I'd be pissed.

There has been ample opportunity to attack from both sides, but she does nothing because she hasn't triangulated it enough.

Politics are at one end glacial in movement, but on the other hand burn like a match in gasoline.

You have to decide if you are the match or the deep, deep cold that will roll over you with history.

President Bernie Sanders can't save us

But he will get us a hell of a lot closer than anybody else.

Messed up jury discussion?

Wrong post I was adjudicating? I don't know.

I SWEAR this was not the post I initially was adjudicating.

It's like the post went away when I clicked on the jury button.

Something isn't right.

What the hell - DU Jury - something is wrong

I was given Jury Duty, and served, but the outcome is rather weird - I served - I swear - on a completely different post. If I'm out of my gourd, tell me.

Served on this post: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026975550

But that wasn't the post I did jury duty for...

Bernie Sanders: There is a change in the wind

He might have fluffy disoriented hair, but there is nothing about his policy that has wavered. His compass has always oriented to women's rights, gay rights, helping the poor, and racial equality.

If you want to claim he isn't exactly on target with issues, he's the wrong person to pick.

He is dedicated to reforms for Wall Street.

He is for increasing Social Security so that the vulnerable seniors among us have a safety net.

He is the candidate I will fight tooth and nail for. Because I will be fighting tooth and nail for the people in the USA.
