I feel this video was made for Jason330.

Jason has always complained about the Democratic Party lacking a simple overarching narrative or direction. Or something like that. He says it most when confronted by our milquetoast Delaware Democrats like Tom Carper and John Carney. He says their bipartisan yearning and middle of the road preening obfuscates what the Democratic Party stands for. More times than not, he is right. This video puts into words exactly what I have always believed to be the theme and purpose of the Democratic Party in my lifetime. Elizabeth Warren, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John Lewis and Tim Kaine narrate it.

Vice President Joe Biden took Donald Trump to task over comments he made bragging about his ability to grope women, saying he wished he were in high school so “I could take him behind the gym,” ABC News reports. Said Biden: “What he said and did and does is the text book definition of sexual assault. He said because I am famous, because I am a star, because I am a billionaire I can do things other people cant. What a disgusting assertion for anyone to make.” Rachel Maddow says Biden should probably apologize. Conservative commenters on Twitter are saying if Trump had said that, the media would go nuts. Maybe. But when Donald threatens violence, he does it to bully or intimidate. Joe's reason: to stand up for women. To stand up to a bully. When a man hits a woman, that man can expect a beating, and there is nothing at all to apologize for. Don't you apologize, Joe. Don't you dare.

Justice Souter warns of civic ignorance and predicts the rise of a Trump like candidate 4 years ago

This must watch clip is from the Rachel Maddow show. Sean Lynn posted it to FB this morning and notes that anti-intellectualism is something we need to guard against. I would add that the "anti-intellectualism" and civic ignorance that Souter laments is abetted by the kind of sham "bi-partisanship" John Carney and other Dems are so devoted to. It is a fetishized bi-partisanship not aimed at solving problems but is intended to muddy the political waters and decrease individual accountability among legislators. It should be clear to all voters who was responsible for the economic collapse of 2008, for example. It should be obvious to voters which President "created ISIS" through a reckless foreign policy. But it isn't obvious because we have Democrats like John Carney who are totally devoted to exculpating Republicans in pursuit of "bi-partisanship." Skip to about 2:40 to start at Souter's remarks.

I knew it was going to be a disaster. The Al Smith dinner is a New York City tradition during the quadrennial Presidential Election cycle, a white-tie charity dinner at the Waldorf Astoria where both candidates give what are supposed to be self deprecating humorous roasts of themselves and their rival. Kinda like the White House Correspondent's Dinner. The dinner benefits Roman Catholic charities but also serves as a civil break in the tension of a campaign. I knew Donald Trump would be a disaster at this. First off, he cannot ever take even the slightest ribbing. He takes ultimate offense at any joke about him because he has a massive ego but is also massively insecure as a man. Second, he hates Hillary because she is a woman and because she is beating him, so it would be impossible to be light heartedly funny about her. His jokes would be vicious and mean. To be fair, Trump started off ok. And then he went off the rails and just started delivering his stump speech with no jokes, and he was booed off the stage. Rightfully so.
