It sure is heart warming when they cut that $10000 check to feel good about themselves avoid taxes charity.

Speaking of, its pretty weird that donations are tax-deductible, but volunteer work isn't (especially since a value for labor is established for charity tax reports - 21.60 an hour or somesuch).

Conservative democrats will always exist. They're called "democrats with fiscally conservative stances".

Conservative voters didnt get the politicians to hold stances they want by going "welp, we expunged the Red Donkeys, guess we're Conservative Enough now!", we shouldn't do just that because blue dogs are gone.

Hearing reports of clearly marked as classified stuff sent/received by HRC from Politico with right-wing sites claiming to have screenshots.

Berners are likely pumped.

Seems like bernie supporters are more pumped over her stumbling on BLM and buzzfeed going through thousands of bill admin. records and finding nothing regarding DOMA that fits the "there was a worse amendment DOMA pre-empted" narrative

if this is true it sounds pretty juicy, though

The Republicans literally were saying we needed a constitutional amendment against gay marriage and who knows what else they'd throw in. Just because they weren't retarded enough to actually write the amendment doesn't mean there wasn't a very real climate of 'if DOMA doesn't work they're going to parlay that into a bigger thing using 'SEE CLINTON WON'T LET US DO OUR JOBS AND FIGHT THE QUEERS FOR YOU'.'

Far be it from me to doubt the journalistic integrity of Buzzfeed of course, but this sounds like the same kind of argument the 'act of terror' vs 'terrorist attack' was.

Gawker and sister sites have actually adopted a pretty interesting formula where sensationalist articles are used to allow financial leeway for more in-depth investigative articles.

Here's the article in question so you can decide for yourself.

Dunno why you'd even bother with Mexican in DC when you've got Peruvian or Ethiopian joints on every corner.

You're an old-rear end congressman who doesn't care how overpriced things are and want to eat fast food that is higher class than mcdonalds but not terrifyingly ethnic.

Did we talk about those BLM folks interesting that HRC rally and poo poo talking John Lewis? Because holy poo poo.

They weren't poo poo-talking Lewis. They started chanting in solidarity for the most recent unjust Black Kid Murder. Hillary handled the situation hilariously poorly. If anything it was a good example of how things would have looked if Bernie tried to shout down his BLM interrupters.

If anything, its really shameful that Hillary just took her support for granted and didnt have a plan for this scenario except "shout over BLM".
