I don't see anything about any Dem Senator voting not guilty.

Romney somehow picked the worst option voting not guilty on obstruction while voting guilty on the abuse of power charge. I guess he's trying to sit on the fence and please both sides when neither will be happy with the half measure.

Liz and her supporters will never go Bernie. They go Pete every time. Better chance is knocking out Biden and convincing all his ppl.

No problem. I don't follow polls. I was just curious.

Just found that. Post and Courier. Never heard of it, but yeah, it's the Charleston paper. Interesting.

I know all we do ITT is **** around and call each other names, but something happened today that has an interesting historical parallel that I wanted to note.

Mitt made his stand, and whatever you think of it, he obviously drew the ire of Trump and his lackeys, who called for him to be expelled from the GOP. One of the loudest voices on that front, was the chairwoman of the GOP, Ronna McDaniel who tweeted:



The reason that's noteworthy is because he full name is Ronna Romney-McDaniel. She's Mitt's niece. She changed her name, at Trump's request, because Mitt's been calling out Trump since 2016.

It's strikingly similar to this quote from They Thought They Were Free: The Germans 1933-1945, by Milton Meyer:

Quote:
But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds or thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the ‘German Firm’ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.

"And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying ‘Jewish swine,’ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all.

The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.

he got more points out of one of the CD's than anyone could've thought in one update.

It's still very close, remaining Iowa will go for Pete vs that last CD1 which bernie will win but it's not as big bernie as the other 3 were. NYT's needle (LOL) has Sanders 54%.

Googling around for that quote one of the first hits is from The American Conservative. Oh this should be interesting, let's see how they spin this the complete opposite of reality:

Quote:
Again: think about how this kind of thing is happening to us, and why. Because it is.

Here’s one way it’s happening to us:

Some Christian schools have encountered hospitals and schools that refuse to accept their nursing and education students for jobs and internships, Shirley Hoogstra, president of the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities, told The Christian Post.

The students are being turned away due to the colleges’ understanding of marriage as between one man and one woman. The problem is not widespread, Hoogstra explained, but it is an issue that the CCCU has been dealing with and is concerned about for the future.
Quote:
That’s one way things are changing. There are others, as you well know.

UPDATE:And then, medical professionals began to lose their jobs because they would not conform to the new ideology — and those who defended him were compared to the Ku Klux Klan:

Allan Josephson, professor of pediatrics, child and adolescent psychiatry, and psychology at the University of Louisville, says he was discriminated against and demoted for his “conservative” views on transgender youth, according to a federal lawsuit filed by the Alliance Defending Freedom. The alliance is a considered an anti-LGBTQ hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Insider Louisville reported. The university declined comment on pending litigation.
They found a way.

Christians in 2019 United States - on the same path as Jews in 1930s Germany. Because they aren't allowed to discriminate against gay people and transgender youth. Now you know.

Well it's clear now that Bernie won, so Tom Perez insttantly demands a total recanvass, so that we can drag this out for weeks of Pete still claiming to have won

Oh, poor bigots can only get into certain schools

Maybe the schools are doing it because they realize people like me still have to check and see if every medical provider is LGBT friendly before I go to them, and they don't want their graduates being people I can't rely on

The DNC is not incompetent. They don't care if they lose the general because it doesn't impact their status at all as wealthy and influential individuals going to fancy parties and such. They want this to happen. Their positions remain secure with anything besides a Bernie win which might actually disrupt their status quo.
