One more post for good measure. Here's a legit live stream outside the DNC right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cd18K3TSOk

Doing the best I can here with Google and Twitter.

Thanks! Wish my tablet would play it.

That one just went down too actually. It's hard to find one that has consistently good quality. Mainstream media certainly isn't covering what is going on outside. Then again, inside is what really matters. I just find what is going on to be fascinating.

Thanks Haus ..

This is great ... Jill Stien is holding a rally outside the wall the DNC built with the eh Sanders supporters ..

*LOL* ...

Eve check YouTube! Type in DNC live stream

I cant. My tablet is ancient and wont stream youtube most of the time. I need an upgrade.

Bill is looking pretty elderly.

Yea I seen a lot of people older than bill not look older than Bill. He's what? 69 68?

This speech is so much bs. Not about her. About him. He was the biggest whore in washington and cheated on her so many times. Just makes his speech hollow.

Haha is bill running again or....

I think he trying to build her case for a lifelong of service and putting up with him!! But hey, I'm sure he wasn't going to say " I got tired of her and wanted to get some strange"!!..LMAO

He is 69. He looks like he is going on 80. I dont know what is up with that.

Man that dude can give a speech.

Love, love, love, Bill's alternate reality regarding our country.

I do believe him when he said the steel dragon is the change maker. Too bad she didn't make a change when he betrayed her so many times.

Not much except her political life in history.

It was very sweet. And painted her in a good light. Her experiance certainly is superior to Trump. I cant get over the womanizing though. Bill is a slime bucket. So parts of that speech were just paper thin.

Lol yea he kinda just skimmed over the late 90's. Wonder why trolololololol

Well ya know, you can't bring up too much detail about that era!! LMAO!!.. Big Dog brings it home!!..LOL

It's gonna be interesting to see how this me convention closes out soon.

So far they was able to smooth things over with the Schultz situation. Kinda...

With all the so-called controversy, if everyone stays on message, they will be ok. Now Hillary has to give a good speech, not great but good!! If she does that, they end ok and start the work for the general election!

Julian Assange: 'A lot more material' coming on US elections




By Matthew Chance, CNN


Updated 4:16 PM ET, Tue July 26, 2016


(CNN) — Wikileaks founder Julian Assange said Tuesday his whistleblowing website might release "a lot more material" relevant to the US electoral campaign.

Assange was speaking in a CNN interview following the release of nearly 20,000 emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee by suspected Russian hackers.



However, Assange refused to confirm or deny a Russian origin for the mass email leak, saying Wikileaks tries to create ambiguity to protect all its sources.

"Perhaps one day the source or sources will step forward and that might be an interesting moment some people may have egg on their faces. But to exclude certain actors is to make it easier to find out who our sources are," Assange told CNN.

The Kremlin has rejected allegations its behind the hacking, calling suggestions it ordered the release of the emails to influence US politics the "usual fun and games" of the US election campaigns.





"This is not really good for bilateral relations," Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, added.

RELATED: Who wins if Vladimir Putin meddles in the US election?

Speaking from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he faces extradition over sexual assault allegations, Assange told CNN that Democratic Party officials were using the specter of Russian involvement to distract from the content of the emails, which have had tumultuous affect on the party at the start of its national convention, where it is expected to make Hillary Clinton its presidential nominee.

"It raises questions about the natural instincts of Clinton that when confronted with a serious domestic political scandal, she tries to blame the Russians, blame the Chinese, et cetera," Assange told CNN.

"Because if she does that while in government, it could lead to problems," he added.

the word "blame" resonates with me ... that's the new trend

So over 1000 bernie delegates walked out and the MSM did not report it. Yes, Bernie supporters are pouting... NOT. The election was rigged and they were silenced. I talked about all the dirty tricks and 'strange things' that happened all through the season. Bernie may very well have lost if the playing field were level; but the playing field was rigged and people are mad.

I see no chance of Hillary getting control of this situation anytime soon. The point that her campaign is driving that "Trump is a Strongman, I'm better" doesn't play well with people who want fundamental systemic changes.

Will Hillary do this:
1) Take money out of politics.
2) Healthcare for all as a right.
3) Break up the big banks and go after Wall Street.
4) End TPP and other bad trade deals.
5) Prison and Law Enforcement reform.
6) Climate Reforms.
7) End income inequalities for all?
8) Rebuild the broken infrastructure.
9) Restore a strong middle class.
10) Guarantee affordable/free higher education.

Hell no she won't. That's why they are mad.

She ain't lying either, her tablet was once used by Moses!

Well no one has ever accused one of the major news stations of being truthful.

It is interesting that Trump has said that he will do some of those things, though.

He wants to renegotiate our trade agreements, and stands in opposition to the TPP. he wants to repair out infrastructure, and rebuild the middle class by making sure that companies cannot easily just take jobs away from the US.

Who know how successful he'll be at these things, but he has mentioned them all as part of his platform.

No one is going to be able to take the money out of politics. That's a pipe dream. Healthcare has already become a "right" .... and it is a mess. Obama decided to put this in the hands of the insurance companies, so we got a system that works really nicely for the insurance companies.

I am not sure how much you can break up big banks, If there were a monopoly, then I assume that there would be grounds, but there is no monopoly.

We can debate climate till the cows come home, but we are unlikely to arrive at an answer that does not seriously hurt the US economy. I think that we should spend more time on expanding recycling.

There will never be an end to income inequality that allows for a middle class to exist. The rich will simply leave, if their wealth is threatened. If we have a $15 minimum wage, the same thing will happen as did when it increased to $8. Jobs will be phased out, automation will increase, even in fast food restaurants, businesses will close, and the middle class will be squeezed, as their wages will not go up ...but prices will. Trying to make minimum wage a "living wage" cannot co-exist with a strong middle class, because businesses wind up taking from one to pay the other, and/or wind up raising prices to cover costs.

If you want affordable college, then you have to get rid of the guaranteed student loans, because this is what caused a massive increase in tuition. I would rather see community colleges expanded, and using that as an entry vehicle for college education. However, people want to go to "name" universities, and want other people to pay for it. This mindset has to change.

Just a few of my thoughts on these items.

Ha!

BLM was marching down Broad Street and yelling at White folks looking to join the march to get to the back of the line!

Brings back memories from back in the day!

Yes the more things change the more they stay the same in these United States of Murica.

edit: nevermind. I don't have time for this today.

But yeah, I saw that video (or a similar one). It was really bad.

#DemExit is now trending as Bernie supporters exit in mass. The convention has been a disaster from a unity point of view and there have been hundreds of reports of Hillary supporters doing all kinds of hateful things to Bernie supporters... NONE of this is on MSM.

The majority of Bernie delegates are leaving the democratic party. OMG.

Jill Stein of the Green Party has had a 1000% (that's One Thousand PERCENT) increase in donations since the nomination.

Bernie supporters are going to Stein, Johnson and some even going to Trump.

Another report I just heard said Hillary needs 85% of Sanders followers to vote for her to insure a win. WHAT??? I have no way to verify that but if true then we better get used to President Trump.

I do, I do feel the BERN!!!

Other reports saying that MSM and Hillary campaign trying to hide this from the general public. I have seen pics of craigslist ads on Twitter showing a $50 per day offer to actors to fill seats at the DNC. Requirements are must applaud, cheer and wear swag. <- no idea if this is fake or not, but if true, wow...

I'm 100% sure these things are going on at the DNC because TYT reporters are covering the progressives there. Many Bernie Delegates have lost credentials and can't re-enter the DNC!

800 Bernie Super Volunteers were refused credentials by the Hillary campaign after they were invited and paid their own way there!

Progressives and Bernie supporters have been treated like 3rd class citizens all week according to many reports, they are being shown no respect by the party officials. They are responding with #DemExit and protest. None of it being televised by MSM.

Meet Jill Stein, the Green Party Foe of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump
Sam Frizell @Sam_Frizell 12:19 PM ET

Unapologetic opposition that could be pivotal on Election Day

The Green Party candidate for president was riding a pickup truck outside the Democratic convention Monday when several of the supporters sitting behind her began chanting vulgar put downs of the Democratic presidential nominee.

“F–k Hillary! F–k Hillary!” the faithful yelled out of the truck. Stein’s spokeswoman and minder, thinking of the TIME reporter along for the ride, tried to hush the cussing. “Let’s do the ‘Jill, not Hill!’ chant instead,” she suggested politely.

But the chanters probably were closer to the spirit of Stein’s campaign the first time. Though she is a soft-spoken doctor-turned-activist, she is not running a sanitary campaign for president.

Instead Stein has fashioned herself as more of a dissident and soapbox champion than a politician. She calls Clinton a warmonger and Donald Trump a bigot, and won’t say which she believes to be worse. Last week she told a liberal blog that Bernie Sanders was taking his supporters into “the sh-thole” by endorsing Clinton. Her fight, and her army of button-wearers, microphone-wielders, are raging against the machine more than running for office. Her comfort zone is the liberal news circuit and the raucous public park rally, not the halls of political power.

Now Stein is seeking to claim the legacy of Bernie Sanders. She wants to inherit his liberal movement and destroy the two-party system. And she says she has a chance to win the presidency, despite her current place in the polls, at about 3% nationally. “We should have the strength of our convictions knowing we are not just a marginal footnote in the debate here,” Stein told TIME in an interview. “We can actually win this.”

Beneath the surface, Stein has little in common with Sanders. The Vermont Senator is a keen legislator with decades of political experience and a knack for winning elections. Even in defeat, Sanders forced Clinton to accept much of his agenda, counting his odds better with her than with Trump.

Stein will make no compromises. She has no experience in elected office besides serving as a small-town council member in Lexington, Massachusetts. Stein says she refuses to take part in a corrupt two-party system. She readily criticizes Sanders for dropping out of the presidential race and endorsing Hillary Clinton. “Bernie is setting an example of essentially abandoning ship,” Stein said.

Despite polling within the margin of error, the Harvard-educated doctor could have an outsized effect on the election and severely weaken the Clinton’s campaign against Trump.

Stein is actively targeting unhappy liberals in swing states like Ohio and Florida who might otherwise vote for Clinton. In the likely tight general election between Clinton and Trump this fall, those votes could make all the difference in delivering victory to Trump. In 2000, for example, Green Party candidate Ralph Nader earned 97,000 votes in Florida, where then-vice president Al Gore lost by 536 votes to George W. Bush. Most of Nader’s voters said if he hadn’t on the ballot, they would have voted for Gore.

Stein says the choice between Trump and Clinton is not really a choice at all. “There are differences between the two candidates and the parties. But those differences aren’t enough to save your job,” Stein said in the interview. “They’re not enough to save your life.” She says that Trump is dangerous, but argues Clinton’s career is also “horrific.”

No third-party candidate since the advent of the modern two-party system in 1860 has won a presidential election, and Stein has badly lost repeated runs for office in the past. The Green Party does not have any seats in state legislatures and holds only a handful of city council seats across the country.

Many of her policy ideas are so liberal that the majority of mainstream economists and analysts dismiss them out of hand. Among other things, she has called for 100% renewable energy by 2030, cutting military spending by 50%, replacing NAFTA and other free trade agreements, free college tuition and student debt cancelation, Medicare for all and ending combat operations against ISIS.

Other progressives have dismissed Stein as a distraction. “The Green Party cannot organize itself out of a paper bag,” said Neil Sroka, spokesman for the grassroots progressive group Democracy for America. “As a Bernie Sanders supporter, I’m offended that they think they are owed my vote despite the fact that they do not have a single federal office, they do not have a single statewide office in the country and they only have a handful of city council races.”

Still, Stein spent the days of the Democratic convention at demonstrations rallying support for her candidacy. She gave a speech in Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park in Philadelphia across from the Democratic convention at the Wells Fargo Arena. She connected with Sanders supporters disillusioned by their candidate’s endorsement of Clinton. And she preached to the disaffected who have embarked on an unending search for perfect ideological purity. “This movement with Bernie, it came up the mountain but together we will go up to the promised land!” Stein said to a crowd in downtown Philadelphia as a crowd shouted, “Jill, not Hill!”

She was met a wide array of voters there who promised to support her over Clinton. Even in the halls of the Democratic convention, some delegates angry over Sanders’ loss have said they may vote for Jill Stein. Clinton “represents corruption, and I can’t believe her,” Georgina McDonald, a Sanders delegate from Wheaton, Illinois, said emotionally after Clinton clinched the nomination on Tuesday. “I’m reserving my vote for Jill Stein.”

Stein’s current advisors, she says, include Princeton professor Cornel West, the liberal economist Richard Wolff, political activist Medea Benjamin and Cheri Honkala, an anti-poverty activist who is participating in a “fart-in” to protest Clinton’s nomination at the convention. (Honkala has ordered beans to feed delegates and protesters, aiming that the digestive results stink up the air around the convention.)

For Stein and many of her supporters, the coming election is not just a choice, it is a test. “We say forget the lesser evil, fight for the greater good like your life depends on it,” Stein said. “When we stand up with the courage of our convictions we actually have the critical mass we need to stand up for our future and take it back.”

But the Greens will have to turn a shoestring rebellion into a working campaign. When Stein and her chanting Green Party troupe drove their pickup truck out of downtown Philadelphia, the engine stalled at an intersection. The truck arrived at the Green Party office in a down-on-its-heels neighborhood and no one had the key to open the door. They went to go squat in a coffee shop instead, where they waited for the next rally.

And Bernie is going along with this?

ok, so I don't support Jill Stein but the fact that this was in TIME today made me post it as very relevant. AND I laughed like crazy about the fart-in.

Bernie has endorsed Hillary. He has asked his supporters to support her. BUT he also preached vote your conscience all along, so some feel this is what he meant. All I know at this time.

#Demxit would've been better. but i understand that originality isn't a huge thing with some bernie supporters.

DNC just gaveled in and the room is about 60%-75% empty. It will be interesting to see how many empty seats tonight. Cspan coverage shows those seats all the time.

From the people I have talked to and from what I have seen on social media from people who I personally know, Hillary is not even in the top three most popular candidates. It goes like this:

1. Trump
2. Bernie
3. Gary Johnson

At best, Hillary is #4 (again just based off what I have personally seen; I don't claim this to be representative of the whole country) Even on this board, I can only think of one person, Rocket, who has endorsed Hillary. CHS likes Jill Stein. Swish likes Gary Johnson. I can't think of anybody else who is pro-Hillary although I know many will vote for her mostly as an anti-Trump vote.

Also I feel your frustration about the MSM. Hillary is establishment and most networks are simply not going to report on some of the nasty things her and the DNC in general have done. They don't want to sow the seeds of dissent. Luckily there are many non-mainstream sources of news and information that show the reality of what is going on.

I have to say that Trump has handled this whole Bernie thing marvelously. He has managed to drive a wedge between the hardcore Bernie-ites and Hillary .... and has managed to invite his voters over by touting some of the things Trump and Bernie have in common.

I bet that Trump starts touting the Green Party as a Democrat alternative next. I bet he starts talking up Jill (can't remember her last name, just "Jill not Hill") next. If he manages to split off some of these people from Clinton, then that makes it just that much easier for him to win. I think that Trump knows that he can win with a combination of 3 factors .....making Democrat voters stay home .... turning Democrat voters to a 3rd Party ..... or bringing Democrat voters to him. (along with winning independents) He accomplishes these by driving up the already considerable negatives Hillary has, and by making himself look like he is, at the very least, a legitimate alternative to Clinton.

I also think that Trump was kind of brilliant in having Cruz speak at the RNC. He managed to completely defang Cruz, and almost neutered him, and did so by letting Cruz be Cruz. It's almost scary how some of this stuff seems to fall into place with Trump.

Just watching from the outside, it is really interesting to watch.
