    Just had a Philly cop over for the past few hours. One of our best friends. She is keeping her regular gig this week but working significant overtime while a squad from her district is at the convention.

    Tons of Bernie people down at the protest site, FDR. I saw one tent there yesterday but had originally read there are no camping permits being approved within the city. Police aren't enforcing it though (have bigger worries than tents) and tons of people down there camping right now

    I suppose, but I still don't see a problem if someone is a Hilary supporter asking if someone wants Bernie to answer that particular question.

    Would it have made a difference?

    Democrats pander to every other voter group in America. Why not the Baptists? It's cynical identity politics at its worst, but it's certainly not anti-Semitic the way the press has made it out to be.
    It's not pandering, it's good strategy. It's how the game is played. Belief in God and religion is a huge issue for voters. We'll have a black, female, lesbian Muslim president before we have an atheist one.

    I wasn't aware Donna Brazile had been offered anything between Wasserman-Schultz and Fudge.

    Things seem be changing quickly in the Democrat camp lately thanks to Wikileaks.

    Thanks. I need to get caught up on the mainstream media drama that you all love so much. I spent the day on a fishing expedition going through 20,000 emails, only to find four unprofessional remarks made in passing about some "damn lying, scummy, obnoxious, maybe an atheist" Socialist whom the Democratic party should never have had to support to begin . . . because he never was a Democrat. He lied to the American people the entire campaign by calling himself one. Where's that story? Bernie Sanders pulled off the biggest lie and con job of the entire campaign and nobody is talking about it.

    "WHAAAAA, it's not fairrrr. :bawling: "

    According to Brazile ( before she got caught), people found to be involved in the leaks would be fired.

    ...and then she was not in charge.

    What the hell did Brazile get caught at?? Jesus Christ, who is paying you to make this shit up? Ya know, I watched this documentary a couple of weeks ago called Merchants of Doubt. (You would like it). You remind me of the guy that the Koch brothers pay to sit around all day and do nothing but post anti-science, anti-climate change articles. Who is paying you, Free?

    To think that posting actual video commentary of a journalist would be considered " making this shit up"... I'm flattered...

    The part you made up is that Donna Brazile "got caught" doing something.

    Brian wonders why I'm so angry today. I'm so fed up with people being irresponsible in their misrepresentation of facts. You are relentless with your false innuendo. You started with Tim Kaine, couldn't get far with that, moved on to W. Schultz, got bored with that, now it's Donna Brazile. I feel compelled to use words like bullshit to describe your behavior because nothing else comes close. That's why I'm angry.

    If you are so fed up with the way elections are rigged -- by the corporate media and the DNC and everyone else who has stripped you of your rights as a citizen -- then stop participating in the same exact manner!! It's pathetic to watch you do exactly what you complain against, and you refuse to see it.

    Thank God I have a busy week coming up and won't have time for this nonsense. I need a break from you people.

    The part I made up, huh. Explain why Brazile was booted from interim DNC chair then.

    or its also partially driven by the fact of a former and current president will be speaking as well as current vp. not to mention potential terror act thats within the realm of possibility given the current state of the world.

    my sense is its commensurate with the level of security had in cleveland, which was significantly more than past conventions of either party.

    It seemed to have worked well. The whole RNC was rather subdued.

    Anderson Cooper working out at a nice gym in the gayborhood this morning

    Morning Joe filming from the oldest bar in Philly which I have been severely intoxicated at on numerous occasions

    Elizabeth Warren has cheesesteaks at Pats yesterday. Passed by there around 11 AM yesterday...missed her

    Also I 95 is a disaster because they are weighing EVERY SINGLE TRUCK that will be passing the Wells Fargo Center.

    Then there's this....yeah, I don't know either

    Thanks Cliffy for the reporting of your observations. Except that last part, I could have done without hearing about that last part.

    It would be great if she started to give 2 sentences of trumps speech then said, oops, wrong one.
