What Color Is Your Parachute?

OK, so Bernie won Oregon, big deal; they’ve been committed to socialism for quite awhile. Butt Kentucky? It was apparently a yuge win for Hillary! Mind you, in the Age of Obama “yuge” doesn’t mean what it used to. And seriously, if Bernie doesn’t stop whining about all things Clinton he may find himself added to the list of 47 former friends and associates of the Clintons who suffered an untimely death.  And that list doesn’t even count the 4 dead in Benghazi.

Butt seriously – 47 friends and associates dead in the prime of life? As somebody once noted, how many of us know even one person who died under mysterious circumstances?

However, as Hillz has pretty much locked up enough super-delegates to snag the Democrat nomination, is it even necessary to ask “what difference, at this point, does it make?”

Now, onto another topic, as reported by upcountrywater yesterday:

On May 17, Americans and people around the world mark the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia by reaffirming the dignity and inherent worth of all people, regardless of who they love or their gender identity. – White House

Oh yeah, IDAHOT, it’s a real thing:

And as usual, where there’s a cause, there’s money to promote it: help your community end HOT (homophobia and transphobia)!

Just one question: if Barry’s so hot to trot on the rights of homo and trans-sexuals, why is he continuing to flood the country with Muslims? Whose religion, unlike the Judeo-Christian belief system, seems to condone throwing them off the roofs of buildings and otherwise dispensing with them? 

America wants to know, Mr. President, just what color is your parachute?

And just a word of advice, based on your umbrella skills: contrary to the conventional wisdom - do NOT pack your own.

Uh, I thought (yikes!) I heard that even though burn-eeee won Ora-goon, hildebeast still got more delegates. HUH? Anyone know if that’s for true? I know some of my lib acquaintances are getting really, really PO’d that it appears that ‘she’ is gonna waltz away with the nomination regardless of anything. And why does the dncE think she’s “entitled” to it this time? Certainly sounds delusional to me. In any case, order up more popcorn. Philly may be more interesting than Cleveland.

Philly may be more interesting than Cleveland

If either city parties like it's 1968, one has to fear that it won't just be an amusing summer interlude. Such a high percentage of folks are armed and dangerous now, compared to then.

As somebody once noted, how many of us know even one person who died under mysterious circumstances?

In 50+ years on this planet I've known exactly 2 people who committed suicide. Well, one was a coworker I didn't know well at all, the other just an acquaintance I met several times. Further, I've known or been associated with exactly two other people who managed to kill themselves accidentally. One of those was in a sanctioned professional motorcycle race - kind of a known to be dangerous hobby.

The Clintons have racked up 47+ people known to them or associated with them that have ended up dead via "suicide" or other oddly un-natural circumstances. I've got to stretch to come up with 4. Other people I know and have talked to about it - their number is similar to mine. Typically 0 to maybe 5 or 6 people they've lost (not counting elder family members and natural causes). So from where I'm sitting, statistically the Clintons are bad news. There are an unnaturally high number of deaths around them.

Philly will be more interesting than Cleveland. Cleveland PD has been preparing for riots. Philly has not AFAIK. Democrats will come out of Philly with a black eye based on the ugliness seen on the part of Sanders supporters in LA and Nevada.

I can’t see any influence the Democrats can bring to bear on Sanders. He’s always been an outsider as an independent and he has been able to finance his run from his “little people” supporters.

Mine's simply FABulous!
