However you and I, and future generations will be paying up the wazoo for years to come.

No cost to her. She gets paid millions.

The one on the left must be Honor...and the one on the right must be integrity...

On Thu Feb 18, 2016, 05:26 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

I hear Hillary got some really expensive new jewelry...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511267579

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Despicable picture -- showing a bondage/dominance hypersexual graphic that is demeaning to women. Taken another way, it depicts slavery and is extremely hurtful to African-Americans. Hide this trash please.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Feb 18, 2016, 05:30 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: oh ffs, take a break from DU please if you are going to read that much into a silly graphic.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's not about either of those things. It directly refers to Hillary's Goldman handcuffs resulting from her financial relationship with the firm.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nope, sorry. It shows a candidate shackled to those who fund her. You can try to make this anti woman but this woman never saw that even when looking back at it. Many people have been shackled so you can't really tie it strictly to African-Americans either. Nice try though. If the graphic were different I would certainly hide it but nope, sorry.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Primary season.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Well that is what Goldman Sachs executives call them.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh, ffs.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Someone is getting a 24-hour time out on alerting.

And is that alert for REAL? If so, I'd lay off the ether and shrooms for a while. That's some crazy bad mojo right there.

It's sexist! And if you don't believe that, it's racist! No, it's just a metaphor about influencing politicians that involves the candidate you prefer that has counterparts in political cartoons going back a very long time.

I certainly can't believe anyone taking money from a bank has our best interests at heart.
