look what I found

So nice to see that outsiders are taking the time to police our group for us
The discovery that people can alert in here and expect, by Skinner's own admission, a 6:1 imbalance in Sanders vs Clinton supporters on juries has had nothing but positive effects on here and the African American "safe" forums.

After all, we certainly don't know what is best for us to discuss in our private little clubs.

" Pish posh! You know you are due for either a whitesplaining or a mansplaining in 3,2 1"


And WHO exactly is going to engage in a discussion with these children? All the interested parties have been banned from posting in the nursery.


If I didn't know better, I'd think that they are getting a little lonely there, rather like the intrepid Occupiers of a certain bird sanctuary in Oregon.

that must sting

only a few keep pushing

reminds me of me back in 2008 - supporting Hillary and seeing the Obama train rolling on

I was shocked but pleased - in reality - it is still joyous and unbelievable that Americans elected a black man named Barack Hussein Obama.

I saw her go down once -and hope to see it again

the theory is contradicted by the practice. The Swarm exists to kick its perceived opposition out of the jury pool, if they can't leverage the offender out of DU itself. And they do this on a regular basis with a great deal of success. One may doubt their purpose, their rectitude and their sanity, but it happens on a daily basis.

But, I'm not expecting any great Enlightenment from management until the whole thing really falls apart...some time between now and next year.
