Created early in the game by political operatives and stashed away against need? That's a bit tinfoil hat for me...but it's certainly interesting that so many just happened to go active all at once...in GD: P, almost exclusively.

And can pass them out for a BIG star member. I really hate to think that way but the timing of the amnesty is also suspicious, as most were Hillary supporters on vacation. I see a purge coming so I will be very careful in my posts.

I'll absent myself until after the GE...since there's no way I'll have much good to say about the Democratic nominee Might arse about in some of the non-political groups and the Lounge, if I don't think the temptation to slam Princess Weathervane is too high.

I'm enjoying it immensely.

Hillary is ahead by hundreds of delegates and millions of votes.
There's a handful of contests left but those aren't going to move
the needle much either way.

The GOP has chosen Trump and he's a dumpster fire.
I hope he chooses Palin as his VP.

Hillary has already gone into GE mode.

The distractions are winding down.
Bring on November.

contort themselves to vote for her because they
can't vote for Trump.

This is a game to them. Hillary is going to preside far to the right of George w Bush, and they are honestly OK with that. So rather than engage liberals on the issues, they will just fling more shit.

certainly seems someone is enjoying themselves by being annoying. I thought that it is something you should hide ro deny if you are harassing people, but to brag about it, seems very out of place.

It gives them pleasure. Some call it bullying. I call it sadism.

Thank you so much for sharing that link. I'd hate to think I was wrong in my assessment of them.

It explains their fondness for a person like this:

of the Sanders' supporters vitriol and made up shit about Hillary. I really wanted to try and stay out of the fray so that it would be easier to unify after Hillary wins, but...it's become obvious that will never happen. So, I can finally give into my desire to stand up for myself and my candidate.
