Eight prominent immigration activists from Nevada are endorsing Hillary Clinton for president.

The DREAMers include Astrid Silva, who was brought to the country illegally but later got deportation relief under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. She introduced President Barack Obama when he came to Las Vegas in 2014 to rally for a similar deportation relief program for people with children who are American citizens or legal residents.

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid frequently highlights Silva's story in discussing immigration issues.

Silva and five other activists met with Clinton for a roundtable discussion in Las Vegas in May 2015......................

But first, she ripped off or scratched all the 'w' keys from their electronic devices and forced a few to become her secret lesbian love slaves.

I deleted it. Is very hard for me to keep up with who's who around here. I did not realize it was a bernista posting seriously. It never occurred to me that even a sanders supporter would stoop so low as to post something like that and mean it. You're right , it is not the worst thing I have heard someone say about Hillary Clinton , but it does fit into at least the top 5. On the other hand, if a Clinton supporter had posted it, and put a sarcasm tag on it I would have thought it was funny as hell, and made the poster he was replying to look a little goofy.
I made a mistake.............but am I to be hounded for the rest of my life and into my grave? yeah, that last little bit was sarcasm

be hounded from me--I promise. It is very hard to tell what is real around here lately. But given the supporter and no sarcasm icon--it hit me. I have a sore spot when it comes to supporters hitting on endorsements. Just gets my goat as they say. I need to slow down before I jump.

Thanks and best to you.
