i hear the FBI just launched a new investigation into the DNC corruption

I think it's an investigation into the hacking, not the DNC's corruption.

Ahh ok. You know what i want to see? I want to see sanders withdraw his endorsement tonite during his speech. LIVE lol.

Honestly that is the only thing might repair his integrity , besides him having to have done it in the first place for the safety of his family.

Do you have a feed for the protests Kali?

I have been looking but no luck.

This comes from our local news. I'm from Philly and this is the best place to get up to date news.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The Democratic National Convention got underway Monday in Philadelphia with much bigger demonstrations than the Republican convention and much higher temperatures as the region copes with an oppressive heat wave.

In one of the largest rallies planned for the day, a pro-Bernie Sanders group is expected to walk across the Ben Franklin Bridge, which connects Camden, New Jersey, with Philadelphia.

The demonstrations, largely driven by Sanders supporters, have been peaceful so far.

The official opening of this convention will be historic.

First time a disgraced Chairperson will be at the helm.

Well now this is interesting.

The 'father' of climate change.

Al Gore to skip Democratic National Convention

PHILADELPHIA — Al Gore will not be attending this week’s Democratic National Committee Convention in Philadelphia despite being a Tennessee superdelegate, a spokeswoman for the former vice president said Sunday.

Interesting. I wonder why.

I don't, just saw pictures from a link shared on reddit. I did find CNNs livestream of the countdown though, for anyone interested. I'll keep looking for livestreams of the protests. I so wanted to be there protesting.

Bernie speaking to his supporters now on that YT livestream.

Yahoo chat is hilarious.

That's for the entertainment.

Bernie addressing delegates live.

LOL

Sanders going over all the "successes".

Mass deflection in progress.

Just one sidebar point to make - after Clinton is nominated this week, both she and Trump will get access to intelligence reports and receive daily briefings... It's going to be very interesting to see how Trump especially handles that information.

Observation over the years, he really has never had
anything to do with Hillary, he must know something.

Vince Foster maybe?

It's a tough spot for voters of principle. You got Hitler on the Republican side... and totally rigged system on the other side. The question becomes, what would you rather do? Join Hitler? Vote for corruption? Hitler or Corruption... Or sit it out and let Hitler take power? Hmmm..... Trump hasn't PROVEN himself to be Hitler yet. But the whole system has PROVEN itself to be rigged and corrupt as hell. The Hitler supporters get excited by this dilemma, which should be a warning for voters of conscience. That's the honest tough choice.

Bernie the ESTABLISHMENT railroaded you.

Geez.

This guy.

Live stream chats are for trolls.

Wow, Bernie reduced the super delegates by nearly 500 for next time.

Two parties down - anger, confusion - fear and loathing

This time next year we'll be in just over half a year in with one if these two. Unbelievable

I've said it before, and it's a hard thing to absorb. If this is going to get any better the whole thing might just have to crash and burn

What will happen I think is we'll settle for the status quo, a Democrat will keep us locked into a never ending war, and it will be the same ole same ole only with even more terrorism until a Republican wins 4 years from now

The alternative is even uglier and more unacceptable, and seems more likely everyday

I am not a happy camper

Thank you Kali.

Well as my pappy says.

No since in getting down about things we have no control over.

Just do a better over the things we do.

Unless everyone is a construction worker infrastructure only benefits a few.
