Twiter Weekly Update 14.May.2016 – 20.May.2016

@spexfox And yet, he still is trailing @HillaryClinton in the total AND pledged delegate counts. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Keep beating the Goldman Sachs drum if you wish, it hasn't worked much where it counted. #DeadHorse in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox So is calling a security review a possible indictment in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Whatever way you slice it, it's going to end with no proof of intent on Hillary's part and the FBI will have egg on its face. Again in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox In national polls, which have statistically been shown to be an irrelevance used to energise the base constituencies. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox The purpose of superdelegates is actually to pick a candidate who will actually help candidates downticket in the general. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Every bit counts in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox No Trump POTUS is likely with both of 'em. Saying it's more likely with Sanders is like reducing total nukes to 100K from 1mil … in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox … all it does is determine how far and fast the rubble flies. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox It is a Cold War nuclear disarmament reference. All a reduction in nukes did between the US & USSR was change how far/fast it flew in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox The margin is a lot wider if you yank Rasmussen (which has been accused of being a GOP shill operation) out of the media poll avgs. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox With Trump such a ridiculous figure, you are going to see more Bernie supporters holding their nose & voting for her in the general in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox They said the same thing in 2012 about Mitt Romney beating Obama, and look what happened in the end. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Warren is too useful in the Senate to be picked. Also, it'd give the MA Republican the ability to pick her (temporary) replacement. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox She has committed to it in places where the standard of living demands it. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox in places where it doesn't (or can't) she is pushing for $12 in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox We also didn't have to rebuild our health systems from the ground up like most countries with single-payer healthcare had to. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox But we don't need single payer to fix that. Simple price controls for generic drugs & shorter patents are more than sufficient. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Then there are the inevitable service interruptions while we transition. Not a good thing when you have a parent with a brain tumor in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox In an ideal world where we could feasibly do this, then yes, single payer is best. Unfortunately, an ideal world this is not. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Considering we did have clusterfuck moving from the old 'gouge them and cut them' model to the current one, yes. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Where you call lost hope, I call pragmatism and learning to prioritize. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox While yes, single payer insurance is nice, but not when you have brown tap water. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox As it is on Hillary's in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox It's being paid for through closing the loopholes in carried interest &corporate taxes and enacting the Buffet Rule. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox And we have the tools to combat those already with the IRS Blacklist of tax evasion Facilitators in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox And you know why? Because he couldn't get her, Bill, or Chelsea tied directly to the Panama Papers. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Considering the Panama trade deal that was supported by the Obama Administration which she served, her choices were clear… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox … resign or do her job in backing the deal. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox If this happened back when she was a Senator, then I would be more skeptical on this. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox I prefer to see it as having the back of the person she served at the pleasure of. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox In any case, this whole "trade deals are bad and anyone who backs them should be disqualified from running" argument is a fallacy in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Trade is what supports not just our economy, but most of them worldwide. Otherwise, we are all no better than North Korea. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Trade deals have no good or bad. The only reason this deal is more than a blip on anyone's radar is due to the Papers in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox No it is on people's radars because Bernie can't tie her or Bill or Chelsea to the Papers directly. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox And because he is thumping the "trade deals are bad any anyone who supported a trade deal ever should never be President" drum hard in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Unfortunately, I have to disagree. Hillary is the best we have as a party to whom Sanders has no loyalties to. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox I like Bernie, & it is an agreeable sight to see him run, but the time is coming soon. If he wants to leave a legacy to the Dems… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox …and leave a mark on policies in the general, he needs to take a good hard albeit fast) think between 7 June and the convention. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Well he should take a good hard think and ask himself if he is fighting the wrong woman. in reply to spexfox ->
Guess which Democratic presidential campaign is being investigated by the FEC (Hint: it isn't Hillary Clinton's) https://t.co/ohkMe7zKOy ->
@spexfox Really, because I read it as "The Preachers of clean campaign money got caught coming out of the brothel" in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Still, his campaign is not doing it's job in regards to following the rules, whether through lack of staff or incompetence. in reply to spexfox ->
E:\Foxboy> NewPost.exe "Twiter Weekly Update 07.May.2016 – 13.May.2016" https://t.co/WUCYcR74wh ->
@spexfox Garland isn't going to get on the Supreme Court, unless the current .@POTUS can get him confirmed between Jan 6 & Jan 20 in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox He was selected for one reason only: to bait Republicans into blocking someone knowing full well he is qualified. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Once the Dem candidate wins in Nov., Garland will likely drop out or the nomination will expire & a better judge will be put up. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox They won't. McConnell has already said no hearings. It is a game of chicken, to be sure, but after the election,… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox … with Trump the latest in a line of defeated Republicans, we'll have a better time of getting a progressive jurist on the court in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox I am not, but there are more and more pundits who're saying that states like MS/GA are becoming more in play & FL going to the Dems in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox With a candidate as deeply unpopular with the base as Trump, we have a golden opportunity to take back the House in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Actually these pundits said Trump was going to be the front runner for a while. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Also, check your Miitomo friend requests. There is one from me. ->
@spexfox Because it helps in Amiga game emulation. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox That is because it is an unholy abomination, and must be put to death in the prescribed manner before it dooms us all for eternity. in reply to spexfox ->
It may not be fish that it's eating, @Nuurbs … but it's still cute. https://t.co/beP1jALbzz ->
@spexfox The problem is what he said after that, where he tried to turn an unfortunate crime they experienced into a call for rule changes. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox He should have ended the statement with that condemnation. in reply to spexfox ->
My opinion on the events at the #nvdemconvention – when you resort to doxxing the convention chair after losing, you demean the whole party. ->
@spexfox Sorry, but putting out the chair's private cell no. & threatening her life is worse than anything a #Sandernista can accuse her of. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Adding to that, Sanders puts out a weak statement that tries to spin himself off as the victim,… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox … Instead Democrats in NV & nationwide got caught looking like feuding inbreds when we should appear as the adults in the room in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox He still should have stopped there and addressed that point later. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Even so, everything after that 'but' is going to be used against the party by the GOP. He should have stopped at that condemnation. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox There were also Hillary supporters who were disqualified as well as the Sanders ones. All of them did not follow the rules. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Even when all was said and done his way, it would have only netted him 2 more delegates, and Clinton still would have won. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox I agree on that. But Sanders supporters created the greater injustice while combating injustice. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox There needs to be an apology to the chairwoman whose cell number was exposed to asshats who called in death threats. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Sanders (or at least, his NV campaign leaders) should still apologize to the chair for the doxxing. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox It was a weak condemnation that should have been without the railing against the results of the state convention in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Because when it comes down to it, Sanders claims of shenanigans are falling on increasingly deaf ears https://t.co/XcFDhdlDa8 in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox He doesn't encourage people to follow the rules either. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Apparently the people running his operation in Nevada missed a few memos, otherwise there wouldn't be this mess. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Because they could not prove they were Democrats registered in Nevada since the deadline. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox All the questioned potential delegates needed to do was to provide a physical voter registration card. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox 8 of Sanders supporters did and we're seated. 59 Sanders supports and a handful of Clinton supporters could not. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox And they would not if their deadline (May 1) was after the caucuses (Feb 20) and county conventions (during April) in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox All in all, it basically makes me think: Boy I am glad my county convention was more civilized than anything out of Nevada in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox Any contentious moments at your county convention? in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Ours were a petition to move a change to the state party rules that was narrowly defeated, & 2 platform issues that were tabled in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox Both debates were very cordial, and in the end, the person driving the petition was singled out for recognition by the chair in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox The only platform plank that was shot down was an extension of the school year to year round. Almost no one wanted that. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
@spexfox It was a enjoyable experience all around. in reply to biafrarepublic ->
RT @ruskertweets: i have seen the future
it is a dark one https://t.co/f8NalGDTm5 ->
ATTN CA voters who want to vote @HillaryClinton – make sure you are registered by Mon. 5/23. Go here to register: https://t.co/wiU00gbTCJ ->
@spexfox I honestly think Bernie would try & put too high a price on his support and either offer backhanded support or go off and sulk… in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox … If enough Sandernistas follow Bernie's lead & stay home/vote 3rd party/etc. in November, that could hand America over to Trump in reply to biafrarepublic ->
RT @gatesfoundation: Don't have a red nose? That's ok! For every RT we'll donate $10 toward ending child poverty. #RedNose4Kids https://t.c… ->
@spexfox If i remember correctly, there should be python support available for MSYS in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox The next step unfortunately would be a VM. Fortunately, Oracle VirtualBox is a decent enough piece VM software, and it is free. in reply to spexfox ->
@spexfox A cheap intel Chromebook might be an option if you don't mind it being cramped on the hdd/sdd/etc. in reply to spexfox ->
