I found a better one via twitter and inserted in the post.

Add her to the list?
T and R, Benny! Please not POTUS, Stacey! You are not ready for it!!
The Orange Satan’s Ouija Board is working overtime.
No surprise. Afterall she was a Bernie supporter. I seem to remember her being roasted at TOP during the last election. She is the most popular politician in Hawaii.
But he just wrote another diary about how no white men need apply for president. I guess no white men or Bernie supporters. ?
Kamala?
He thinks it should be a woman at the top of the ticket.
Probably because Bernie is a white guy.
And he specified “white.” I guess it’s ok if you’re a white woman.
The problem is in the true platform. Seems like there shouldn’t be any limitations except those of commitments. M4All, no corpse $, real GNewDeal, etc.
He’s just a Repuke Lite who is also a hypocrite. He’s El Salvadorean on his mother’s side. I assume his father is Greek.
Yea he thinks “I’m with her”
LOL Sirota must have read my comment from earlier today.?
Crowd seems enthused!
I think that this is true.
From the article:

Xiuhtezcatl Martinez is talking about leaking pipelines that are making people sick. Also brings up Standing Rock’s fight to protect the water and the land.
He doesn’t come across as someone who is only 18 years old.
His rap was awesome.
I put up some info and videos from Xiuhtezcatl in this open thread: https://theprogressivewing.com/8-19-open-thread-news-roundup/
Hot rap! :0)
Hope LD enjoyed it!
Indeed!
Bernie’s cult. Fear the dangerous left.
Must be vewy scawy to think about losing all that corpse dough.
But this is exactly what confuses me. When they look at these people so engaged and content and fulfilled with an inner passion and energy and a community, don’t they want that more than another million dollars?
There has a good cross section of speakers covering the topics. Even a Republican.?
It it going overboard!
First it was the stock market. Now it is the Post Office.

Lets hope that you weren’t expecting something important in the mail.
Read, “We need a break!”
Wonder if the FRighties will show the same respect for Jimmy Carter when he passes?
Will it be an unpaid day off for them? I hope not, it wasn’t the employees’ idea to take a day off.
Give me a break Neera! Soon you will addressing him as President Sanders.
This is for you Neera.
Clintons Face Embarrassingly Empty Arena In 13 Day ‘Give Us Money’ Tour
Jeremy Scahill has the answer.✔
Its pretty much
‘Don’t judge what we serve you just eat it and pretend you like it or would you rather have the shit republicans serve, at least we sprinkle sugar on our shit’
Perfect.
Also if you go to open Seacrets.org you can get it exclamation as to why all this cash from “ individuals” in the industries is problematic. They show how much different primary hopefuls are taking. Bernie at the bottom with 17+ percent, Warren second lowest. I’ll look for the link. It’s in one of Sirota’s tweets.
Neera et al either haven’t read it or are choosing to ignore it.
opensecrets.org.
Explanation not exclamation.
Neera’s group is among the bribers/”campaign contributors.” Bank on it.

Its hard not to be excited by how far we have come, things looked so dark 4 years ago.
Who would have thought then that in 4 years there would be a live stream watched by millions about climate change put on by the institute founded by Bernie Sanders, who is now the most popular politician in the country and included a new member of congress inspired by a Bernie led revolution for average people to run and shes talking about putting together legislation for a Green New Deal, while we are all anxiously waiting for Bernie to announce his run for presidency?
Its far closer to where my day dreams thought we would be in 4 years than it is to where my rational mind thought we would be, its almost surreal.
True.
I hope this is the case for all the young folks who comment and/or lurk on here. 🙂

I hope the people can change the outcome.
Twitter is sresly addicting. Yikes. ?
But you can find lots of good stuff. LOL
It really is, lol. I love how it makes it pretty easy to see what’s going on around the world. I used to go to CNN.com for that, but I find CNN very limited nowadays.
Sue is not just a dumb blonde. (No offense to blondes.)
From the Intercept, DC “think tanks” apparently paid by UAE to push their agenda (Yemen).
“One of the documents obtained by The Intercept was an invoice from the Center for New American Security, an influential national security think tank founded in 2007 by alumni from the Clinton administration. The invoice, dated July 12, 2016, billed the UAE embassy $250,000 for a paper on the legal regime governing the export of military-grade drones. It was signed by Michele Flournoy, a senior Pentagon official under President Barack Obama; Hillary Clinton was widely expected to name Flournoy as her secretary of defense. Flournoy co-founded CNAS and, in addition to outside work as a management consultant, currently serves as the think tank’s CEO.“
Much more….
Tweets are also linking CAP and even Neera, but I don’t yet see that in the Intercept article after a quick perusal. CNAS is open about receiving the $, but claims independence.
https://theintercept.com/2017/07/30/uae-yousef-otaiba-cnas-american-progress-michele-flournoy-drone/
CAP is in there. A snippet:
“We have been working with Brian Katulis at CAP” — the Center for American Progress — “and Ilan Goldenberg at CNAS to plan and execute an Embassy-supported study tour of national security experts to the UAE this spring,” the memo noted. The Center for American Progress, where Katulis is a senior national security fellow, is widely considered to be the most influential think tank aligned with the Democratic Party. (One of the authors of this post, Zaid Jilani, worked at the Center for American progress from 2009 to 2012.)“
One of the many reasons I did not support a Clinton presidency was the expectation that she would put Flournoy in her cabinet.
Did you know that Flournoy, along with her ‘duties’ at CNAS, is co-founder and managing partner at consulting company WestExec Advisors?
Seems to me a bit of a conflict of interest, possibly even sketchy, to be advising both nation states (such as the UAE) AND business clients at the same time.
But what do I know?
For example, this article from CNAS dated 11/28/18:
I wonder if any of WestExec Advisors’ clients happen to be in the business of military hardware? Hardware such as the “robotic teammates” referenced in the piece?
man…..
thanks for these. hope you tweet them.
you know the diff between right and wrong.
