Cuz Hillary wasn't invited

So you do this...

She didn't beg to be invited. See the difference?

a good thing.

See the difference?

Is nonsense supposed to be funny?

Yeah, he wants to eliminate global povertyy by eliminating global trade. Only in Bernieworld.

the meaning of the word "huge." It helps if you type it in ALL CAPS.

No one begged.

Maybe you should read up on him: http://jeffsachs.org/

But, he doesn't share the corporatist world view of your candidate, so he might scare you.

Boo!

and you sit through a couple of opening acts, for say, 1 1/2 hours, or you skip this part altogether, and then after a refreshment and all the anticipation, you get the head liner.

Maybe you've never been out...

Maybe you don't understand the significant difference between speaker and respondent and following discussion.
As a quick analogy, it's like when Obama holds a press release, then the press dude gets up to field some questions on what Obama said. Does that make sense to you?

Oh, wait....they didn't invite her...

For days you guys claimed he wouldn't be involved in any meaningful way. What changed?

I'm really taken aback when I notice how most posts from supporters of Hillary Clinton are slams at Bernie Sanders over trivial things. I would have thought that Hillary Clinton supporters would be posting positive discussion points about the policies that Clinton is advancing or supports. What are those policies?

but I think there were some 30 minute speakers - not going to look it up

But, the point is still the same.

Rich people who don't want to pay taxes.

morality at the vatican? To the world. You'reon the wrong side of history.

...and was schedule in the program before the Sanders speech was shoehorned in.

so he must be lying about speaking at the conference.

Now you are bitching about where he is on the program and how long his speech will be.

You guys are never happy unless you can bitch about Bernie.

Now...what is going to happen if he ends up meeting the Pope?

Are you all going to find a way to bitch about that too...the somehow he rudely forced himself on the Pope, who was trying to go to the bathroom or something.

I think your behavior about this is pretty sad.

No Sachs, no Correa. What a difference a day makes!

Coffee break, which will undoubtedly be a press frenzy!

Superbowl - last quarter - team wins!!! Then all the commentary.

Or are you really not understanding this at all?

speaker after Bernie on the first day, right after the coffee break that they cut 10 minutes off of to slip Bernie a slot.

Here's a clue, since you don't seem to be familiar with conferences. If they give you the closing remarks slot, they don't schedule a respondent to speak after you, no do they limit you to 10 minutes slipped in before a coffee break. And they definitely don't schedule a whole other day of conference after you speak.

A respondent, at such an event as this, will stick to remark 'responding' to the speaker. And as far as my experience goes, I've produced many events. So, piss off now. You will be my first hide!!!

Bernie in between two respondents on the same topic. His 10-minute slot is the conference equivalent of a janitor's closet.

before he speaks. That's part of his 15 minute allotment.

Oh. That's right.

Gotta keep the $$$ flowing!
Boats are expensive!

should he beat these incredible odds and get to the WH, what are the chances of any party support for his promised initiatives considering the support he has so far given them?

This topic must really get to you

unlike certain posts

I am new to ignore. why am I still seeing this person's posts? Maybe I should un-ignore. Endless entertainment!

coffee break is the day's headliner

priceless

LUNCH
3 pm - Paper by Rafael Correa - President of Ecuador (will he present it? Not clear)
3:30 - respondent
3:45 - discuss
4 pm - Speaker - Senator Sanders

4:10 - break

4:45 - respondent
5 pm - discussion

7:30 - dinner

And so, Sanders is the closing speaker. Yes, others will quote/unquote 'speak' afterwards, and you can be sure the international press will make up the majority of those voices!

Think of it - A whole 45 minutes for everyone to get their responses to Sanders together! Huuuuuge!

or are you still selectively reading? Anyways, you should be happy! Go for a walk, dig in the earth or something nt

would you be kinder if you knew I was a 'gal'?

Should I cry sexism? No, silly, I would never do that. It's all getting rather ridiculous around here. Going for that therapeutic walk in the woods now. see you later.

"Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws." -- Plato (c.427 - 347 BC)

That tells anyone who is honest why she would never get and invite.

Hillary speaks at a 353k per plate "fundraising" dinner...

Oh the irony.

After his exit from the US Senate, Phil Gramm found a job at Swiss bank UBS as vice chairman. He later brought in former President Bill Clinton to the Wealth Management team. What a coincidence, they are the two key figures in repealing Glass-Steagal. Since the New Deal it was the financial regulation that protected the US taxpayer from the Wall Street casino. Oh well, what are a few hundred million in speaking fees compared to a $16 trillion bailout among friends?



It's a Buy-Partisan Who's Who:

President William J. Clinton
President George W. Bush Heh heh heh.
Robert J. McCann
James Carville
John V. Miller
Paula D. Polito
Anthony Roth
Mike Ryan
John Savercool

One of my attorney chums doesn't like to see his name on any committees, event letterhead or political campaign literature. These folks, it seems to me, are past caring.

Some of why DUers and ALL voters should care about Phil Gramm.

Until the Panama Papers, the fact USA's Notell-6 news media corpse don't bring this up AT ALL should be of great concern to all who care about Democracy.

sorry to introduce reality into the fantasy

why try and trash it? if its as unimportant or neutral as you all believe, then why not just let it play out? whats the harm?

but why the need for some to make it more than it is? No need to inflate it.

on edit - and I have said the same thing the past few days

there will be a blurb afterwards, maybe a photo or two of him speaking. and then a helluva fight for new york.

personally, i would much rather be talking about hillarys relationship with wall street and why those transcripts have not been released, the loss of good union jobs due to nafta, and the corrupt campaign finance system rewarding those who do the masters bidding.

does that work for you? feel free to add your own fave issues

just like Obama has given them.

Then she can broker a few more arms deals like Algeria and Saudi Arabia - getting the US approval and a huge donation to the Clinton foundation just like she already did. Who knows we can arm all kinds of countries that the US wouldn't normally approve so Hillary can personally get richer.

Then she can have a 10k dinner and you can go see her speak there.

You wouldn't want her speaking at the Vatican. That's for the NON-WAR Mongers and profiteers of war.

politicians and their super delegate votes. Last I knew, buying votes is a fine example of corruption... as is money laundering (See DNC, 33 State Democratic Committees & the Hillary Victory Fund). How do you define corruption?

I looked and looked on the list of "those also participating" and did not see his name! Freaked me out since yesterday I was told he was just an "also participating" so it was not a big deal. Whew! Speaker, lol. Sounds like a pretty big deal to me. 🖒

events include a response to him?

discussion will be a response to him.

He's sandwiched in between a paper and the responses to that paper.

Surprised he's devoted so much time to a 25-year old initiative begun by a Pope with whom he can't possibly agreed with on many matters.

And so very, very, happy for him.

Why, I oughtta.....

And I mean the LONG FORM, not some scrappy photoshop job!

He's not the headliner, or keynoter

There's not "response to his comments", there's coffee followed by the previously scheduled second respondent to the "Change in the World Political Situation" paper

There's no discussion schedule for his speech, there's the previously scheduled discussion to the "Change in the World Political Situation" paper, followed by general discussion of the day's activities:

Of course, then she wouldn't be Hillary "Can I give a speech for $200,000" Clinton.

I thought he wasn't invited? If only they could have afforded Hillary's speaking fee. She could have told them about how the money changers in the temple were too big to fail!

If he were a good person, he'd charge more so his gifts to charity would be larger.

There is simply no end to that man's evil, I tells ya! NONE!

meeting and talking with these participants. Dinner on Friday should be really stimulating!

She doesn't mind racist jokes, however.

there are 113 replies in this post, but i only see 20, lol.

He's not the keynote speaker. He isn't even presenting one of the papers for the conference. He is a responding speaker, who has 10 minutes for his remarks.

The headliner for a conference is the keynote speaker, not a responding participant.

Truly, I think you have misunderstood the importance of his place on the conference agenda in a serious way.

Fear tends to conflate things. I've got some kickass brownies that may help you out. oops, but then you'd end up with a criminal record and your family would be fucked. Hill should decriminalize, don't you think? Or do you want to keep paying out of your nose for fancy pharma's? You need something...
