I am 100 percent OVER the self-pity, conspiracy theorizing, moaning and foot stomping demands of Sanders bitter enders. Like, DONE.— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) September 9, 2017
Your candidate fought hard in the primary, in which the Democratic Party allowed him to compete WITHOUT becoming a Democrat.— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) September 9, 2017
Registered Democrats, including people so Democraty they WORKED FOR THE DNC didn't like it and shocker - PREFERRED THAT THE DEMOCRAT WIN.— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) September 9, 2017
They snarked at your candidate in catty emails ... they scheduled debates at off times (though if you have a revolution, can they hide it?)— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) September 9, 2017
And in the end, more people voted for the candidate EVERY SENTIENT BEING BELIEVED WOULD BE THE 2016 NOMINEE SINCE BIBLICAL TIMES.— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) September 9, 2017
When you lose a primary, it hurts. I bet when you lose a general, to Donald freaking Trump, after the media savages you over stupid emails,— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) September 9, 2017
your opponent half heartedly backs you but only after you hand over day one of your convention and beg, and RUSSIA RUNS A FULL OPP ON YOU,— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) September 9, 2017
I'll bet that hurts just a wee bit more. Especially when you lose by 77,500 votes in 3 states & a lady who dined with Putin gets twice that.— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) September 9, 2017

Unfollow me, throw your phone on the ground and stomp on it, unsubscribe from cable to spite me, I honestly don't have the energy to care.— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) September 9, 2017
I have to say that I pretty much agree with everything that Joy said here.And pro tip? Don't call me "dear." We're not cool like that.— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) September 9, 2017
In fact I think it links up well with my post from yesterday.
Once again I will say that it is time to move forward.
But not forward to some internal revolution that tears the Democratic party apart in the search for progressive purity, but forward to a realization that we are all stronger together, and that the enemy we face is only made stronger by our lack of cohesion.
Great! I super-support what Joy Reid tweeted. I have been "unsubscribing myself" from any email group that shows Bernie Sanders' face. He is not a Democrat, has never been a Democrat. I don't know what he is - other than in it all for himself.
ReplyDeleteBeaglemom
It's also why I never watch Chris Hayes' show. And Hayes wonders why Hillary won't come on "Inners." LOL. Was Bernie on his show 100 times in the past 2 years?
DeleteChris Hayes plays to opportunities and nothing more. Stopped watching him a long time ago. I don't know his current ratings, but I'll bet he'd dropped substantially in viewership.
DeleteI agree.
DeleteWhen are they going to realize dnc let him. Allowed him. Me too Joy. We are not friends like we were any longer.
Go, Joy Reid! Very well said, and high time someone said it.
ReplyDeleteBernie Sanders is, and has always been, full of baloney! He would have made a horrid potus and I doubt would have won any election! Plus, his wife would be an inept first lady!
ReplyDeleteIf memory serves, she only let him back down when they'd pocketed $10M. Why I have not and never will contribute to a political candidate.
DeleteHe's spawned a so-called revolution lead by a woman who probably convinced more people NOT to vote for our nominee than anyone else, short of Susan Sarandon. Go f yourselves. Look what you've done.
ReplyDeleteIs the FBI still investigating him and his wife for fraud?
ReplyDeleteInternecine squabbling over the last election and Clinton/Sanders will not get progressive thinkers elected and these horrible reationaries out of office. It's time to try to find as much common ground as possible and to move on.

Amen 1:31 PM. Enough Gryph. We get it. You don't like Bernie. There are other people running now for Congress and soon the White House. Let's get on with that and move on from events that occurred last year. At this point it's just smug self- righteousness. If this reliving the past keeps up Trump will not get impeached and he will be re-elected. Enough with the self-indulgence. Time to unite against Trump.
ReplyDeleteThat's the fucking point of the post dipshit.
DeleteThe problem with moving forward is that Bernie supporters have now infiltrated the Democratic party and, much like the Teabaggers, and demanding purity from their DNC candidates and threatening primary challenges for those who do not meet their bullshit standards.
We need to work together but that will not happen with anarchists threatening to burn the party to the ground.
My fucking god gryph, take off the tin foil hat why don't you? You really think that the average person puts nearly this much thought into what the fuck is happening in their political party?
DeleteYou be foolin' yourself boy, 'cause ain't nobody doing much but voting for whomever the party tells them to.
Hillary won the popular vote, remember? That strategy obviously works but Dems need to work on romancing the states that actually matter, those with the Electoral Votes that they need to actually win an election.
lol Gryph. The ground has shifted under your feet and you refuse to acknowledge it. Hillary is not the future so you may as well stop talking about her. And btw, both you and Hillary, and Joy Reid (whover the f she is) could all use some mirrors.
DeleteYour screaming about Bernie is no different than Trumpsters screaming about Hillary. You sound like... well, you sound like how you write; hyperbolic crap.
DeleteWhy Gryph I am one of your most loyal readers and you calll me a dipshit? How Bernie Bro-ish!
DeleteIt was just too hard to take your call for unity seriously after you endorsed that divisive and pointless Joy Reid screed.
Your worship of the Democratic Party establishment is misplaced. Awash in corporate money, they're isolated from what matters to most Americans and cling to power for its own sake.That's why Democrats cleared the field for Hillary: it was the money Choice. All the big money came out for her right outta the gate, and nobody made a peep - except for Bernie. Unlike Bernie, I am a Democrat and I am grateful to him for pushing the issues of economic equality, healthcare for all, and Wall Street corruption in the campaign. No one else dared: all afraid of the Clintons. I hope we've learned the lesson that political power has to come from the grassroots, not Washington poor-bahs.
Does Bernie suck as a human being? For sure. Should he have dropped out earlier? Definitely.
Did Hillary lose because some 80 year-old socialist played dirty? No.
She lost because she was a terrible candidate propped up by a corrupt Democratic establishment. Progressive purity? How about SOME progressivism in the Democratic Party? Maybe a party that nominates someone who loses to Donald Trump - and doesn't even know she's gonna lose to Donald Trump - needs to be burned to the ground - or at least take a hard look at what they've become and start moving away from corruption and insider politics. If that makes me a dipshit, I can live with it.
@5:40 PM Mirrors would expose your stupidity, troll. Karma is your destiny.
DeleteHey 5:40 PM Just because Joy Reid is not a Fox clown does not mean that many people don't know who she is. Joy Reid will outdo any of your faux news skanks.
DeleteGreat reply, Gryphen. Thanks!
DeleteHad to look up who this chick is and for sure, she should take off the tinfoil hat because it's making her look angry and stupid.
ReplyDeleteName one thing she said that wasn't factual. Just one.
DeleteWaiting...

Delete"On the actual day of the attacks, Trump, a New York real estate mogul, tastelessly bragged about his downtown Manhattan building, 40 Wall Street.
Calling in to a New York TV news broadcast, as the station aired footage of the World Trade Center towers collapsing, Trump claimed that his property would now become the tallest building in the area."
{tinydjt}
“40 Wall Street actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan, and it was actually, before the World Trade Center, was the tallest — and then, when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second-tallest,” he said. “And now it’s the tallest.”"

DeleteCanonization
"Speaking at Judge’s funeral on Sept. 15, 2001, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said simply: “He was a saint.”"
" “Mychal really knew that gay Catholics were being treated like second-class citizens by the church,” Sapienza said. Judge “loved being Catholic,” Sapienza said. But he also “loved being gay.”"in July, the Vatican announced that it had expanded its criteria for sainthood, creating a new category for people who willingly sacrifice their lives for others: oblatio vitae, the “offering of life.” This new category of saints does not need to have been killed directly because of their faith, and they need display only “ordinary” virtue."
"homosexuality as “objectively disordered.” In Judge’s embrace of his own sexuality—even if it was a celibate embrace—he presents an implicit challenge to Catholic orthodoxy. Sixteen years after Mychal Judge’s death, what would it mean for the Catholic Church to elevate an LGBTQ person to sainthood "
Uhhh duh, I want us to all come together but first I'm going to write some negative shit about you all cuz' I'm a friggin' self absorbed bugger without any sense of what I'm actually saying. Good job, Grift On. As always.
ReplyDeleteGranted, Hillary was not perfect person. She had flaws. We all do. But she literally was the only one standing between us and the imposters propped up by Putin who now occupy the White House.
ReplyDeleteAmericans that stand divided are doing themselves in. Literally.
While we bicker about party politics, Trump, Bannon, and Putin slowly turn our world topsy turvy. Almost too late to undo that.
He would have beaten Trump. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteShe beat drumpf. Just sayin'.
DeleteOh, is she sitting in the oval office 5:35? Because one either is, or isn't, sitting in the oval office.
DeleteShe lost. As much as I hate the fact, the popular vote does not count.
DeleteSo good. You & Joy keeping it real. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou Hillary/DNC corporate fan clubbers are going to have a tough road of reality ahead of you. Good luck.
