at the bottom of the PM, you'll see an 'alert abuse' button. Just click that to send a copy of the jury result PM to the admins. (You can do this with any PM) -hth, PT

And the object is to rile us up.

Whether they're Sanders supporters or infiltrating freepers...it's all just a game of make the Hillary supporters angry.

And I know we don't play that way. Sure, some snark slips out every now and again but I've never seen that kind of, well all I can come up with is depravity, come out of Hillary's supporters -

I'm pissed. Gotta breathe deep. Deep cleansing breaths will help (and maybe some ice cream)

Different day, different jury...apparently approving foreign military aid - a proper and necessary function of the Secretary of State - is JUST LIKE voting against the Brady Bill five times because it wasn't precisely to your liking.

This is the kind of shit that kills a campaign, specifically Bernard Sanders'.

Apparently some of us have no clue about how the whole primary thing works and also that umm, err, this is supposed to be DEMOCRATIC Underground, so like gee whiz I think we are SUPPOSED to be Democrats posting on this site.

So much hate. It is such a waste. We really need to be getting our act together, getting informed, and getting ready to give the Rethugs the boot from the Senate and the House and from state houses all across the country.

Hate-filled dishonest stupidity is so not helpful.

44. I noticed today that I have not been asked for jury duty once since my first hide.
Tue Apr 19, 2016, 01:51 PM
Apr 2016

I was averaging about 1 jury duty per day, up until I got a 4-3 hide. Haven't seen jury duty since, and it's been about 4 days now. I know that a hide will drop you by 20%, but still, it's definitely odd.

No wonder the BernieTrolls were able to commandeer the system so easily, if even 1 hide knocks someone from serving. All they had to do was get 1 hide on nearly every Clinton supporter and they effectively stole the jury process entirely.
