Bernie Sanders
Related: About this forumThis is why Bernie’s the Democratic front-runner: Justice Department probe of Hillary inches closer
Bernie Sanders path to the presidency was never going to be easy. After surging in the polls and consistently proving Americas political establishment wrong, Sanders won Colorado and other states on Super Tuesday. He still has a path to win the Democratic nomination via the primaries, but Bernie Sanders just won the presidency for another reason: Hillary Clintons quest for convenience.
Bryan Pagliano, the person who set up Clintons private server and email apparatus, was just given immunity by the Justice Department. According to The Washington Post, The Clintons paid Pagliano $5,000 for computer services prior to his joining the State Department, according to a financial disclosure form he filed in April 2009.
First, this cant be a right-wing conspiracy because its President Obamas Justice Department granting immunity to one of Hillary Clintons closest associates. Second, immunity from what? The Justice Department wont grant immunity to anyone unless theres potential criminal activity involved with an FBI investigation. Third, and most importantly for Bernie Sanders, theres only one Democrat in 2016 not linked to the FBI, Justice Department, or 31,830 deleted emails.
These 31,830 deleted emails, by the way, were deleted without government oversight.

(14,602 posts)that it was Clinton who convinced Obama to bomb Libya and kept the coalition to get rid of Gaddafi and do a regime change.
So was this action, as Clinton proclaimed, "on the right side of history and on the right side of our values, and interests in the region?"
Well, 30,000 Libyans have died and the country is in a second civil war. Millions of refugees are flooding Europe. And, of course ISIS has arisen there.
Is 'regime change' EVER a good idea, or is it akin to the schoolyard bully attacking a weaker kid and taking their lunch money?
What IS the right side of history? I guess we could go and ask the 30,000 who have died.
Do we want someone as hawkish as Clinton in the White House? Wall Street is 'comfortable' with that, and so is the MIC because, hey, there's PROFITS to be made! But should we be comfortable with it?
I'm sure not.

(2,603 posts)I imagine the type of people that aided Hitler are likely cheering for Trump or Cruz today though.

(2,603 posts)The MSM is losing appeal and the power to influence, but not entirely.
I'm guessing it will go largely ignored or kept to minor 10 second blips spread out over weeks. Probably as much air time as the TPP gets.
