Exciting absolutely no one

Well, it looks like the rumor everyone has already heard turned out to be the worst-kept secret in American politics. Hillary Clinton has selected Virginia Senator Tim Kaine to be her vice-presidential running mate.

As the Grey Lady (The New York Times, not Hillary) reports:

She picked him because of his appeal to the Bernie voters.

If Kaine is truly a Pro life Catholic and a democRAT, he is delusional-unable to see Truth. Like so many of my fellow Catholics.

the great deceiver is active, good thing there is One Power that is greater.

Today’s bible reading was about sinners praying to baal and then running to the house of the Lord and seeking refuge. I took from it, that I cant have it both ways.

What does “minority” got to do with it? Tim Kaine is almost as dirty as Herself, he has just been much lower profile about it.

It is imperative that whoever was picked, has enough vulnerabilities and skeletons in the closet as may be collected together, so Herself may keep leverage, with an eye to preventing anyone from suddenly going honest and undermining the whole deception.

These same vulnerabilities and closet skeletons, though, are just fuel for a ruthless opponent to drag out and expose.

When it comes to a contest, nobody ever said that The Donald is not ruthless when he must be.

She did. White males have become nothing but pool boys for the demonrat party.

“Today’s bible reading was about sinners praying to baal and then running to the house of the Lord and seeking refuge. I took from it, that I cant have it both ways.”

What’s the book, chapter and verse reference for that Biblical passage, please? I’d like to read it myself.

What Does Bernie Sanders Think Of Tim Kaine? He May Not Support Him

Charles Chamberlain, the executive director of Democracy for America released a statement on Thursday that suggested Kaine would not be a good pick, considering “his vote for fast track authority for the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership and this newly uncovered push for bank deregulation.”

Given Sanders’ calls to break up the banks and reform Wall Street, Kaine doesn’t seem like a likely contender for Sanders’ support, either.

Clinton already has work to do to gain support from Sanders supporters, and it doesn’t seem like Kaine would be the way to go, considering his support for the TPP and for deregulating banks. Though Kaine’s base in Virginia will certainly help the presumptive Democratic nominee in the swing state, a more progressive VP pick might have done well to bridge the gap between moderate Democrats and progressives.

A Bloomberg Politics poll from last month showed that nearly half of Americans who voted in support of Sanders’ campaign — to rebuild the middle class, change the campaign financing system, break up financial institutions on Wall Street, and build a more socialized health care and education system — will not support Clinton. It would seem that choosing a VP pick to secure that vote would be especially important to her campaign’s success.

Jeremiah 7:1-11

you eat and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to baal......and yet you come to stand before me in this house which bears my name and say we are safe to sin again.

(I DONT THINK SO) my words, or my interpretation.

Hope this helps. the daily readings for Catholics follow a calendar, you can find the reading at WAU.ORG the word among us, daily meditations for Catholics. One good thing about being Catholic is that all around the world we read the same readings- in a perfect world, we’d all be on the same page...Barb.

I bet she likes “boring” because he will jump when she says so and won’t question it.
