Not going quietly into that good night

Not going quietly into that good night

Quote:

We are concerned with the manufactured “unity” narrative in the media and are fighting for the soul of the Democratic Party and Democracy.  Election Justice USA has provided statistical analysis of the recent Democratic primary elections that show widespread statistical anomalies in at least 21 states that could be sufficient to call the results of our candidate selection process into question.  Many pledged delegates also expressed concern over the information contained in the ongoing DNC email leaks, which have revealed details of a process that was engineered in favor of a preselected winner.

Clinton: Bright in white

Clinton: Bright in white

That was one of several media releases sent yesterday by a variety of pro-Bernie Sanders organizations not sold on Hillary Clinton’s nomination to be President by the Democratic Party.  Clinton, dressed in a white pantsuit, accepted the party’s nomination last night, after a long line of speakers aired complaints about everything from student debt, to low wages, to pay equality, to gun violence, to inequality for women and everybody else that wasn’t a white Christian male of European heritage.

Bernie supporters: Not so unified

Bernie supporters: Not so unified

In her speech, which was heckled at times by Bernie supporters clad in bright neon green shirts in protest of the nomination process and chanting Bernie’s name, causing Clinton supporters to shout her’s in response, Clinton attacked Republican nominee Donald Trump on everything from his business acumen to his temperament.  She called him out for manufacturing his Trump branded items overseas rather than in America and asked if he can ignore his debt, as he’d done in the past, why can’t American students refinance theirs.  (Might have something to do with the Obamacare law that took over the student loan market…).  Clinton promised a laundry list of typical Democrat programs and platitudes, promising to pay for it with new and higher taxes on Wall Street, corporations and the super rich saying they needed to pay their fair share and that’s where all the money was, she should know.

Trump: Twitter storms Clinton speech

Trump: Twitter storms Clinton speech

For his part, Trump responded in real time on Twitter saying:

Hillary’s refusal to mention Radical Islam, as she pushes a 550% increase in refugees, is more proof that she is unfit to lead the country.

Our way of life is under threat by Radical Islam and Hillary Clinton cannot even bring herself to say the words.even bring herself to say the words.

Hillary will never reform Wall Street. She is owned by Wall Street!

Hillary’s vision is a borderless world where working people have no power, no jobs, no safety.

Hillary’s wars in the Middle East have unleashed destruction, terrorism and ISIS across the world.

No one has worse judgement than Hillary Clinton – corruption and devastation follows her wherever she goes.

It’s going to be an interesting one hundred two days!
