So today on DU I learned...

[tk2kewl]

That unauthorized entry to an employee lunchroom is a scandalous news story.

While...

The mishandling of national security communications is a non-story because they weren't top secret at the time.

And...

Entering a Wall Street dining hall and receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars to tell the wealthy and powerful things the rest of us aren't allowed to hear is no biggie.  Furthermore, drawing attention to it is just a distraction from the aforementioned scandalous lunchroom invasion.

1. You learned your "place" in the power scheme

Now, time to change places!

2. knr nt

And I'm fundraising in my own unconventional way! With the power... of storytelling!

3. The really great thing about this stuff - none of it makes Hillary look any more palatable.

Maybe they are going after the 'Better the devil you know" contingent or something?

[MissDeeds]

4. Yep, bizzaro world is alive and well on DU

Pretty damn sad.

[draa]

5. They have to spin it some way.

Their candidate will likely end up in Federal Prison so....

6. OH MY GOD! The Sanders' campaign tried to paint Sanders in a good light!

OH MY GOD! Some Sanders' supporters tried to convince some union workers to vote for Sanders!

OH MY GOD! Sanders' has a few rude online supporters!

OH MY GOD! Sanders' campaign tried to make a better photo op for Sanders' campaign!

OH MY GOD! Sanders wants to give ponies to everyone without also promising magic hats to others!

OH MY GOD! Sanders' campaign tried to investigate an insecure voter contact list!

What "crime" will Sanders commit next? Will he eat with his fork in his left hand? Will one of his supporters put a piece of compost in the trash receptacle? Stay tuned!

7. Did you learn that happened? Or did you learn that there were unverified reports of that happening?

Also, a document that is above top secret is a document that is above top secret, whether it is marked that way or not. We're playing a little game here with top secret document vs. marked top secret.

Learning things on DU is not all it's cracked up to be. Often, though, I do crack up.

11. you'd assume the SOS would know if something

Was destined to be top secret.

More of that foreign policy experience and more of that questionable judgment experience.

[merrily]

12. I would bet seeing things get marked is part of her duties.

[pa28]

8. And by pointing out the different we are running the most negative campaign EVER!

Very educational.

14. .

[winter is coming]

9. It's not even clear it was "unauthorized".

It could be that the local worker bees didn't care one way or the other, but a higher-up who's a Hillary supporter had a hissy fit. Hillary accused Obama of doing something similarly underhanded in the casinos in '08.

[tk2kewl]

10. of course it's not. just manufactured outrage.

[merrily]

13. It could be it never happened, but was reported. Or that Hillary supporters did it and said

they were Bernie supporters.

The whole story I read was so sketchy. All it said basically was that reports had been received from several hotels. Nothing verified. No callers identified, etc.

[ljm2002]

22. Actually the story was verified...

...but it was resolved within 8 hours from when the story first broke to when the campaign and the local union resolved it amicably, as reported in the Las Vegas Sun.

[merrily]

23. Thanks. I need to check that out.

[cannabis_flower]

15. Or perhaps..

One Sanders campaign worker was actually a union member and got union name badges or whatever they used to get the other campaign workers in. We have no indication that Sanders or anyone higher up in his campaign approved or even knew about this.

16. You don't understand

They could have been having chili con carne!

[Major Nikon]

17. Pick one

1) Anti-HRC = anti-Democrat

2) You are carrying the GOP's water

3) Why do you hate women?

4) HRC never broke the law

5) Sanders is a racist

6) Sanders is a communist

7) HRC is inevitable

8) HRC is the only candidate that can win against republicans

9) Bingo!

[Smarmie Doofus]

18. Hah.

What was I thinking?

K and R

[SoapBox]

19. ROFL

Oh...oh...oh...you are so on it.

And I have been thinking it's just me.

Guess it's any means, to get their end.

[tk2kewl]

20. The attempts to paint Bernie as unethical are laughable

[ljm2002]

21. One more thing...

...drawing attention to the Wall Street speeches is the worst, most negative campaigning ever seen in the history of elections!
