He's a working class kind of guy and does not want his music used to support the corporate candidate who represents Wall Street.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

The jury will either agree or disagree with the alerts. And since the Bernie supporters outnumber the Hillary suporters 3:1 I'd say, Sanders supporters flag and alert stalk and get time outs agains Hillary supporters with a great frequency.

Bernie supporters have a secret FB page....or perhpas you haven't been invited?

I myself got a time out because Sheepshank being a sailors knot, I asked if "sheepshank was tying them in knots." Yup got a hide and atime out. So don't talk to me about alert stalking.

no matter who you support.

That just might be a reasonable thought to ponder. The board is 85% BS supporters so chances are the juries will reflect that.. so who has the greater chance of getting a hide for whatever reason?

But you know what, I didn't see a personal attack in your link. The reality is that all sorts of posts get alerted. It feels like a crap shoot what stays and what doesn't. But I can tell you,that just with the number of Bernie supporter and the odds of that group on jury duty, there is a lot of decisions that plays in the favor of Bernie supporters. You can keep showing me occasional threads of posts that stand, and I could do the same with this anecdotal stories. They jury system is broke. Cali knows what type of rhetoric is likely to gets hides as well as I know.

And you have the audacity to serve on MIRT. Have you no shame?

I know you've seen the screenshot that the rest of us have been able to see. The Clinton Cave is not Vegas. Things that happened there didn't stay there. We know who participates in the vile hatefest over there.

tsk tsk.

Jury: he asked and pretended he didn't post about prodding cali into a 5th hide earlier so I am merely providing him a service by refreshing his memory.

I've been telling people this isn't you, because from the screen caps I've seen, this other guy is a really stupid motherfucker who attacks Sanders supporters, works to get their posts hidden, and otherwise acts like a complete pile of fuck. Actual Democrats, no matter who we support for the Presidency, don't act like that useless fuckstain of a "human being" was acting. I don't believe you and I agree on much with respect to presidential politics, but I think I know enough about you to know you wouldn't stoop to this degenerate piece of shit's level.

I'm glad you have officially let us know this wasn't you. I've known it all along, but some here are mistaken, and they mistakenly think this cowardly bag of maggots is you. It's time the truth outed. This isn't one of those things where you're compelled to issue a denial--that would be totally unfair. But I'm glad you opted to deny it anyway--just one more nail in that impostor pissant's coffin. Fuck that stain on humanity.

On Wed Nov 18, 2015, 07:14 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Some dickface on another site is impersonating you, or at least using the same name.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=826269

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

I think this person thinks this is a clever way to personally attack another DU member without "technically" attacking them, but it's just a really awful post, and it's clear what they're trying to do.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Nov 18, 2015, 07:29 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Play too many games and nobody believes you anymore.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: And it's clear what you are trying to do.

Leave.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This post does not impugn a DU member. It attacks the other site's persona George II. Since the two are not the same person, there is no need to hide this post. On the other hand, if the other site's persona is actually George II and that DU member is using another site to coordinate attacks on other actual DU members, George II should be banned from DU or at least given a long break.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

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

She has 20M followers on Twitter.

Obama has over 60M on Twitter following him. But Caitlyn Jenner beat his record of fastest increase of Twitter followers:

Jenner said she was "humbled and honored" by the accomplishment.

Another Jenner world record, and at 65? Who'da thought! Humbled & honored to have reached 1M followers in 4 hrs...

...Obama has yet to deliver his concession tweet...

In July, Bernie had more followers with 128K on Twitter versus Clinton's much smaller number on her official account, but she had more on other Twitter accounts...

Just goes to prove the adage that Washington, D.C. is full of people not charismatic enough for Hollywood. IMO, a lot of 'em have funny names as well. Just sayin'
