8/25 News Roundup – Our Revolution’s First Birthday, Bernie Sanders Still The Most Popular Politician In The US & More
Hello friends! Kicking things off with Bernie’s message on Our Revolution marking its first birthday and then the rest of the news in the comments.
Tips, Comments, Complaints, Etc!
Just wanted to note that I currently do the roundups like this as its easier for me. As time goes by certain material, videos, etc will be put up as its own post so it can be searched, tagged, tweeted, etc.
I know this is not the most convenient for loading and I probably often put in too much that too many people don’t care about… but most everyone knows I like to share information so if its something I know even one person may enjoy… going to post (especially if its something Im passionate about like pipelines or indigenous culture). I do try and limit videos to cut loading times, but even sometimes that is hard.
Bernie Sanders Is the Most Popular Politician in America, Poll Says
Bernie Sanders Is Three Times More Likable Than Mitch McConnell & Here’s The One Reason Why
Wasn’t Pence the ‘Pious’ defeated when he tried to get re-elected as Indiana’s governor? If he blew that one in a red state, I wonder about the source of that poll. 44%? Really? T and R to the usual suspects!! 🙂 LD, how have you all been faring with the rains there? The TX east coast has really gotten soaked this year!
Its dry here, looks like everything will stay south of us except for perhaps the occasional shower, etc. We did just have an earthquake that is 100% totally not related to fracking or anything Im sure!

Good grief, hadn’t heard about that!

The song is fun though. Ruby loves it and dances with me..

Have Hillary Clinton Supporters Tormented Progressives Enough To Satisfy Themselves?
Also Romney, McCain, Kerry, and Gore did not lose to the all time unpopular presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Nor did they rig the primary to keep the truly popular candidate out of the running.
I’m glad Hillary is fine. I wish I was “over” having Trump as President and hardline conservative Republicans controlling both branches of Congress.

Our Revolution president: “Democrats have lost their souls”
Haven’t heard from Tulsi in a long while!
Ive found quite a few clips of her lately but for mostly haven’t been posting as most are 40+ minutes and theres not too much new information in them. Going ahead I may just link them In an url so people can go check it out if they want, but it wont load the video itself.
The MSM likes to keep her hidden. They wouldn’t want her views to reach the 99%.
US public lands: Trump official recommends shrinking national monuments
Under threat: the three national monuments in Trump’s sights
The Trump administration’s national monuments ‘review’ is a sham
In Latest ‘Giveaway to Corporate Polluters,’ Zinke Calls for Carving Up National Monuments
What the hell does THAT mean? If the land “was public before and it will be public after” then why is there a need to ‘adjust’ the boundaries?
Smells fishy.
xacly.
Probably some code words for ability to extract certain resources in certain areas that normally would of been off limits.
Zinke is doing what his puppet masters tell him to do. That is how the Trump Cabinet works.
Decent coverage of the lawsuit by RT.

Hurricane Harvey: evacuations under way as storm heads for Texas
How bad is it going to be for you?
Yes I have been thinking about that since Harvey blew up yesterday
So far they arensaying DFW will be pretty alrighty except for some showers, etc. Of course any change in direction can change that, and the mass influx of people from the south will certainly be a traffic issue! If anyone has someone needing a place to stay to keep safe JD and I have a spare bedroom we’d be happy to let someone use in case of emergency.
I’ll be damned!! See my previous comment. We monitor these storms here cos it’s that time of year. LD, what is the latest in Dallas-Fort Worth? I just got back from reading the latest NHC bulletin. Harvey is a strong cat 3 right now. Are you and JD ready? You guys will get major rain hit!! Be and stay safe, okay?!
The predicted rain amounts for this storm are incredible. It’s expected to stall and meander with many places getting 15 to 25 inches, and some places up to 35 inches!
That stalling is always bad with these storms. It’s a strong 3 right now. If the eye waits over that warm water and then makes landfall as a cat 4, all bets are off! Anyone dumb enough not to evacuate deserves what they get. Take it from a long-time Floridian, believe me!
My BF was evacuating yesterday, but I don’t know how far she could get with her trailer (she lives in hers) and I’m guessing the trailer parks were getting full very fast. I haven’t called yet because I’m guessing she’s still on the road somewhere.
I just cant imagine 3′ of rain WOW!!! Be careful all in the area.
yikes! be safe.
Border Patrol Makes Clear That Undocumented People Fleeing Hurricane Harvey May Still Be Arrested
I wonder if one of the prerequisites of becoming an ICE agent is that you do not have any humanity in your soul? Morality be damned.
