Twenty Thousand Committed to Occupy DNC Convention

Posted by Tina

Feelin the Bern protesters have committed in droves to protest the nomination of Hillary Clinton at the DNC Convention in Philadelphia. Daily Caller reports:

More than twenty thousand people have committed to protest Hillary Clinton’s likely nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia — and that number is quickly growing.

The protesters are united in their support for Bernie Sanders, as well as their opposition to “a fraudulent Hillary nomination,” according to the group’s website.

Their leaders have set up a Facebook group — titled Occupy DNC Convention — to organize housing and transportation.

Protesters are encouraged to read documents shared within the group. One document is titled “Civil Disobedience Training.” Another is titled “Health and Safety at Militant Actions” and includes tips on first-aid and withstanding teargas.

Can’t say I blame them. Will there be calls for Bernie to reign them in? One things for sure old Bernie has set himself up to face whether or not to accept the consolation prize.

    History repeating itself. 1968 Chicago all over again!
    That’s what happens when Party leadership can’t offer anything better than delegate shenanigans and an aging hippie or an aging hippy . . . . . .

    It will be interesting to see how much power Bernie and his supporters actually have, especially against a severely wounded and flawed coronation candidate. And if Hillary stumbles and they try to bring in Biden/Warren, it will only add to the injustices that animate wild supporters.

    Liberals are saying, following that damning State Department report, that if Hillary doesn’t win in California she will be perceived as too weak to continue.What happens after that? It depends on who you ask but there’s bound to be some fireworks inside as well as protests tending toward riot outside.

    I wonder how if racist groups like La Raza and MEChA will show up with kids waving Mexican flags and shouting obscenities. If they did, would the lame stream media show it?

    So, who went to see Bernie? Tell us all about it!

      Chico Enterprise Record:

      Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders announced to a sweaty crowd of nearly 6,000 people at a Chico State University rally that as of Thursday, California polls put him above Hillary Clinton by 1 percentage point.

      During his speech in Chico in front of the boisterous crowd, Sanders said he is confident that if he wins the California primary Tuesday, he will win the presidential nomination despite the fact that Clinton currently holds the sweeping majority of votes from Democratic superdelegates.

      Sanders has won 20 state primaries and is traveling up an down the state in an attempt to make California the 21st.

      Not word about a traffic problem…the Thursday Night Farmers Market and the Chico High School graduation were happening at the same time in the downtown area.

    How do you settle a presidential election when the vote is too close to call?

    With an ice fishing contest, of course!

    After the first round of votes were counted, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump were deadlocked.

    Instead of going through a recount, the two agreed to a week-long ice fishing contest to settle the election. Whoever caught the most fish at the end of the week would be the President.

    The candidates decided a remote frozen lake in northern Wisconsin would be the ideal place. No observers on the fishing grounds, but both candidates would need to have their catches verified and counted each night at 5pm.

    After Day 1, Trump returned with a total of 10 fish, Hillary came back with nothing.

    Day 2 finished, and Trump caught another 20 fish, but Hillary once again came back with nothing!

    That night, Hillary and her cronies got together and accused Trump of being a “low-life, cheatin’ son-of-a-gun.” Instead of fishing on Day 3, they were just going to follow Trump to spy on him and figure out how he was cheating.

    Day 3 finished up and Trump had an incredible day, adding 50 fish to his total!

    That night, Hillary and her democratic buddies got together for the full report on how Donald was cheating. Hillary stood up to give her report and said, “You are not going to believe this, he’s cutting holes in the ice!”

    And that, my friends, tells you all you need to know about the intelligence on the left side of the aisle!
