Thank you, Uncle Joe!

Hillary is STILL the Democratic frontrunner, and STILL polls ahead of all GOP contenders.

It's not just the two candidates who are being revealed, Uncle Joe… Every ONE of us is finding truth.

It has to change as the real issues are revealed.

Thank you for this thread.

....for an answer.


Drive on Uncle Joe!

Who needs shit like that when we can not worry and just get on board?

An actual squirrel had a small issue in my back yard today and my son yelled that.

I had to laugh.

Even as I was worried about the squirrel.

She was eight years ago, too.

You do know that we get to discuss policy and choose our candidates... right?

There hasn't been a single caucus or debate yet and all you can say is she is the frontrunner. My question would be: "Should she be?"

I stated a fact.

So.. you aren't going to actually respond to the meme or to the break down of the meme. You are just going to use the term 'fact check' to toss in sort of a 'we're number one' thing.


You do realize when you respond to these posts you are only kicking them up to the top of the list.

As a Bernie supporter I would like to thank you for that!

... that kicking a thread on DU to the top of a list actually means something, then I'm more than happy to oblige.

What happens to America does NOT matter.
Which direction the Democratic Party goes,
and who they represent does NOT matter!

Its a Horse Race, and Hillary is ahead at the 1/2 mile post, so for our team....
YAY.

This is your Post #3, added to a thread whose OP cited Issues.
Its clear from your response that only one thing matters,
divert the thread from ISSUES to who has the best cheerleaders.

I posted that HRC is the frontrunner. Like it or not, that is the fact.

No, I did not include in my post a comment about the many, many issues involved in this election. I also did not include a list of the things I care about - including world peace, a cure for cancer, an end to world hunger, the plight of the homeless, and/or whether the next season of "Vikings" will be as good as last season.

It's bad enough when people attack what others haven't said. Now we're down to attacking what people have omitted from their comments, on the utterly ridiculous notion that if you didn't say something in a post, you obviously don't care about it. Or that the one issue you have remarked on is "the only thing that matters" - or, even more ludicrous, that one is attempting to "divert from issues" by not addressing what you, or anyone other poster, thinks should have been opined upon.

Given that posters are now allowed to call the President a POSUCS, or call Hillary a whore, it seems rather silly to complain about anything that gets said here anymore - especially when the complaint is that someone didn't post what YOU wanted them to post.

Might I suggest that you "alert" on my Post #3, and explain how my reply was so lacking, it should be hidden on the grounds that it was disruptive, hurtful, et cetera?

And you just might get a jury to agree with you - such jury decisions have been known to happen.

That is just two I know. So I question the fact check without research and breaking shit down.

during the Holocaust helped persuade him that intervention was necessary, President Clinton was for it as was NATO, if Hillary objected I haven't heard about it.

Comparing Kosovo to the Iraq war is disingenuous, anyone who is concerned with facts would know that.

Kudos for trying to reason with that poster, though, many of us have given up.

sanders, no

that is not true.

right?

You knew you couldn't defend Hillary's vote so you threw in a red herring.

Get back to me if and when you decide you want to discuss her yes vote.

Some of us actually knew it was a mistake.

how do you decide it is really about iraq

And it compares the two candidates' votes and statements.

Nothing about Kosovo.

Which - based on the the data used - he does. War only as a last resort.

Hillary voted to go to war with Iraq, Bernie didn't.

Get it?

They're comparing the two votes in Iraq.

Period.

They are comparing the only two votes that were made by both candidates in the ONE war they both had the opportunity to vote for/against.

Hillary didn't vote for or against intervention in Kosovo, therefore it's not relevant data.

Bernie opposes foreign intervention except as a last resort.

Hillary doesn't.

Get it now?

I think even people that are generally non-interventionalists will make exceptions in order to STOP Genocide.

Sheesh. This is the kind of nonsense purity demands that are usually irrationally demanded of us by Republicans.

i am not judging the action of kosovo.

also, he was a yes to gulf war 1 while running and no after he was elected.

he voted for resolution to go to war for bush, connected to 9/11

superpac. there is a billionaire one and one started up by an X or an employee.

where the ethnic cleansing was occurring, it is *definitely* a point to recognize.

for voting FOR intervention in the Balkans, but then you are saying he was AGAINST intervention in the Balkans?

why is this so damn hard to comprehend?

You mentioned two super pacs but I haven't seen any names.

it has been on du more than once. not gonna go thru the hoops luminous wants me to jump thru. look it up, or dont. a simple google: sanders super pac will pull up plenty of articles. i do not know enough about it to be posting facts.

They can't give money to candidates, and candidates can't tell them what to do. That's the whole point.

he did run on it that he would. the vote was AFTER elections.

just like i said in the first post....

FACT CHECK

really.

why can you not handle the reality of it. not the end of the world and the chart is not FACTS

You're entitled to your own opinion, not your own facts.

Put the knife down. I was only trying to lighten the mood.

Have a Wonderful Evening seabeyond.
Chris

Maybe pantomime of W kissing he sheihk, that should lighten the mood.

Honestly. I really cannot believe that once I believed you were honest.

Come on. You are an intelligent person.

Name the super pac AND post the money that they have raised. I double dare you.

they actually exist and are raising money. For your own self respect, don't you want to know?

I can google Obama and birth certificate and read many many articles that spell it out.

I can also provide links to Obama's official birth certificate that dispels the many many articles that claim his official birth does not exist.

So, surely, you can provide the links to official FCC documents that Bernie's super pacs exist and their official filings with the FCC.

And still a person I want to admire. I'm asking you to prove me wrong.

I have no idea what has come over many of our members.

Instead of Rotovirus they have Votavirus.

Both are characterized by diarrhea of orifices.

foreign u.s. military intervention with kosovo. but FACTUALLY.... which this post is about FACT CHECKING.... FACTUALLY he has supported foreign u.s. military intervention.

correct?

why the fuck are you talking about diarrhea?

*I* personally as a citizen supported that action by Bill Clinton.

I'm not sure what point you are careening to here.

sanders OPPOSES.

got it?

it is in the OP. that we are discussing. about FACT checks. settling in yet?

that is an incorrect fact that sanders is opposed to u.s. military intervention.

i pointed that out.

but for whatever reason, something so simple like that, .... simply pointing out a FACT is not really a FACT has people calling me a liar, associating me with diarrhea and a whole lot of other garbage. why is this even a LITTLE bit difficult to understand?

oh oh tell me Aerows. is it u.s. military intervention that Aerows disagrees with, or luminous, or joe?

or is it fuckin military intervention?

If you Google "Sanders super PAC" you will see both "Billionaires for Bernie" and "Bet on Bernie", two super PACs that support Sanders.

Sanders has promised not to accept any money from Super PACs. That was when he lost my support for good, pretty much, barring the unlikely scenario where he receives the Democratic nomination. No candidate can ever accept money from Super PACs. It was a cynical, misleading, and dishonest pledge, and it made a lot of the other claims he's made in the past look bad to me.

"Billionaires for Bernie" was a silly idea floated by a public interest lawyer in LA who claimed he thought he could convince billionaires to donate to Bernie. "Bet on Bernie" is not even registered with the FEC.

The FEC has issued a letter to Billionaires for Bernie warning the registrant to change the name:

http://docquery.fec.gov/cgi-bin/fecimg?_201507190300000465+0

They'll have to use their registered names in any ad disclaimers

re-register or drop it all together. So far, the FEC site shows that he hasn't changed the name or re-registered in response to the warning letter they sent him. He has until Monday to do so.

The man who claims he is running a Bet on Bernie PAC, Cary Peterson, has no PACs registered for Bernie under any name. If he is raising money, then it is likely a scam. So thanks for pointing that out because I'm going to file a complaint with the FEC now.

And that's a fact.

I hope it isn't all that's left, but it sure does lay it on the blade, doesn't it?

Bernie is who America really needs. Let's help him make it.

You are SO naive. You want Ted Cruz and Sarah Palin to win so that they can grill bacon on their rifles while shooting reindeer on the White House lawn for Christmas.

That's exactly what will happen if Hillary Clinton doesn't win the primary. Rifle Bacon and reindeer guts on the White House lawn.

Are you happy with your Dystopian future, big guy? Are you happy to be callous with facts in the face of your own doom and the doom of everyone and everything you ever cared about?

Tell me, Uncle Joe, are you there yet?


(Sorry I went off on a tangent but the drama surrounding this primary has gotten to me. I hope I didn't offend and you took it in good fun)

is that too much to ask?

name calling, diahhrea?

why not say, ya... looks like a couple are off, but the rest he is kick ass on.

Two Super PACs so far have said they support Sanders. Super PACs cannot raise money for any candidate, however, so either Sanders's line should be non-zero, or Clinton's line should also be zero, depending on what "raised funds" means.

Usually memes are a lot fuzzier than this one. Good to see the information is fairly good.

I Kicked and Recommended this OP.

I can confirm that this is a fact sir!

And I agree!

Peace to you.
