    And now that the email server controversy is out of the way, it’s time for Bernie to give up on the fantasy of getting the nomination, and do what every candidate before him has done for decades — concede the race to the presumptive-nominee, and throw his support behind the person who beat him in the Primaries.

    Oh, and to give up the Secret Service escort that’s costing American taxpayers $40,000/day:

    It’s time, Bernie. Do the right thing while you still have some political credit left.

      That’s doubtful, his campaign is trying to book a rally in Philadelphia the day before the DNC: http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/pol…

      I voted for Bernie—-but I cannot understand wtf he is doing now. He lost. Time to ask for a speaking slot at convention and move on with life.

    Just goes to show how great the Democratic Party really is. We’ve gone from Obama to Clinton while the GOP has gone from Bush to a prolapsed rectum seen in Snapchat’s new Cheeto filter.

      I would prefer we trend liberal rather than centrist, but certainly we have less to be embarrassed about than the GOP.

      IDK where this meme that Clinton is more conservative than Obama came from. He’s more conservative than Clinton.

      Their policy priorities are similar though so we’re really going from left-of-center to left-of-center.

    Well, I will say one thing. I am very impressed by the reasonable response by the right wing to the news that Clinton will not be indicted. It seems they have accepted it. And they are totally ready to move on. And focus their attention on the real issues at hand.

      I noticed that too. Trump, in particular, has been very gracious and sober. He’s handling this every bit as well as he did the “Basic Star” issue.

    Ah .. the two lesser of two evils. In twoness for each other as only two lesser evils can be. Again, the results of America’s Neoliberal Ultimatum Game. You know that one. That’s where one candidate is demonstrably more odious than the other, and therefore becomes walking proof that you’ll be worse off by voting for them while the not-as-odious candidate wins and continues shifting your money and opportunity to the capital class while defending that class from any culpability and paying it’s fair share.

      Life is about the Lesser of Two Evils. Anyone who says something different is lying to you.

      I’ll play. Examples? Is life (and its lesser of two evils) more akin to politics or game theory? Where is your proof that life - in its totality - can be distilled to a model defined as the lesser of two evils? Life and death? What makes either evil?

    I see the hot-takes were all ready for breakfast, this morning. I think they are prepared the previous evening and then frozen and reheated in the morning.

      They’re shipped frozen, direct from the RNC.

      It may take a little longer, but I think you’ll find it’s worth it after being subjected to our freshly prepared hot takes.

      Here’s one now:

    Not to be the one commenting on her appearance but I do love that color on her. Campaign season is always so red and blue I'm happy to see another hue.

    I just love how Hillary’s “excited face” always looks like she just got the best birthday present ever. It’s so over the top and therefore such a contrast to her usual expressions.

      My favorite Hiilary faces so far have been when she was watching Elizabeth Warren destroy Trump while she stood there. She is so care-worn and hooded a lot of the time that it was really nice to see her just laugh with joy....
