Hence forth why it's really important to not give this asshat anymore attention. I am so done with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Michael Moore, Cenk Uygur, The Young Turks, Nina Turner, Shaun King, Linda Sarsour, David Sirota, Cornel West, Jesse Jackson, The Squad (Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)) and the Bernie Bros.
They are truly a dividing factor in the Democratic Party. While the party is starting to unify around the Joe Biden, former Vice President of the United States, Sanders continues to chug along despite his chances at being the Democratic nominee are slim.
Ohio cancelled its primary elections and it's being challenged in court. I see the postponing of the primary as an attack on Biden. It was a deliberate attempt to slow down Biden's momentum.
Yeah, the coronavirus has grinded Ohio to a stop. But Gov. Mike DeWine's handling of this is not good. He cancels the primaries only 24 hours before the votes were to be cast. It's unfortunate that he could have done this two weeks in advance of the first signs of it making to Ohio.
Still, Biden is favorite to win this state.
Florida, Arizona and Illinois are still holding theirs. The primaries are being held today and Biden looks likely to sweep these states and increase his delegate lead.
Sanders is happy that Ohio governor Mike DeWine pushed back the primaries. He even made a snide remark about postponing primaries to keep this shit prolonging.
If Joe Biden does win the Democratic primary races in Arizona, Illinois and Florida, should Bernie Sanders concede or continue on?
Every poll I put out comes with the same stupid ass trolls picking something that doesn't resonate with the general consensus. We're getting tired of this.
According to The Politico, Sanders had signaled that he will not quit the race even if the votes don't go his way. He reportedly has staff in place for states that vote as late as April 28, including New York, a state he feels he has a shot at.
Sanders staying in the race is going to hurt the eventual nominee. I'm not going through another 2016 fiasco because of Sanders. The Democratic Party should put an end to the primaries. If Biden surpasses the amount needed to be the presumptive nominee, Sanders best be out the race.
We are not in the mood for another Sanders protest and his fucking supporters. His supporters are either trolls, agitators and Russian bots. Who knows and who cares?
I am done trying to reach out to the extremists.
We're in this together. You with us or against us.
His campaign is "Not Me But Us." Well it seems like its all about "Me And Not Us."
His revolution is dying. He ain't got a chance in hell to capture the remaining states, Washington, DC, Guam and Puerto Rico. Sanders may have a chance in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Oregon but nothing else.
Disgraced former Illinois Republican Aaron Schock finally comes out the closet.
Once a staunch anti-LGBTQ lawmaker now finally realizes that he can't hide his true feelings.
He was a star in the Republican Party. He was known for his ant-LGBTQ policies when he was a lawmaker in the U.S. Congress.
Schock revealed the news in a lengthy Instagram post. He said that he was caught on camera sharing a kiss with another man at the Coachella festival. The news spread like wildfire and it forced him to admit to his family he's homosexual.
The former lawmaker who faced a federal sandwich for misuse of federal funds and corruption now is a private citizen who is freely to do what he pleases. However, he's a fucking hypocrite for being against his own.
Now he claims his Christian upbringing made him deny his sexual orientation and claims he used politics as a distraction. He said that he no longer wants to harm those who felt his days as a lawmaker made it harder for them.
He roundly apologized to the LGBTQ community.
Schock even credited Barack Obama for his new lifestyle.
During 2014-15, Barack Obama and Joe Biden fought for the rights of the LGBTQ community. The former president came out in support of gay marriage in front of Robin Roberts. He said that the time is now to recognizing that LGBTQ are human too.
When the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision set a milestone for civil rights and the rights of gay Americans. They are now legally allowed to wed in all U.S. jurisdictions.
Schock faced criminal probes after he was accused of using campaign funds for lavish trips, modeling his DC office as Downtown Abbey and using it for personal expense.
He was forced to resign in 2015. The former lawmaker held onto the 18th Congressional District which includes Peoria and the outskirts of Springfield, Illinois.
Now Rep. Darin LaHood (R-IL) is the son of former U.S. Transportation Secretary under Barack Obama, Ray LaHood. He is a Trump supporting Republican like Schock.
The Republicans are facing a brutal choice this year. With the coronavirus outbreak, folks are likely going to hold Donald J. Trump and Republicans responsible for the handling of this pandemic.
The pandemic of the coronavirus has sucked up most of the world's news media. However, one thing that doesn't take a break is gun violence. Gun violence continues to be the biggest threat in the United States.
Stories you may have not heard while we're talking about the coronavirus.
Kentucky girl, 3 was killed in an accidental shooting.

Authorities said the terrorist was among the dead but they refused to release the name.
This happened at Moncure, North Carolina. The Chatham County Boys announced they received calls about shots fired near a home around 5:30pm on Sunday.
The law responded to the home quickly and determined that the victims were scattered around the property near the home.
Some family members determined that Jeanie Ray's husband was the suspected terrorist. It was more than a domestic violence incident.
Moncure is an unincorporated community that is 30 miles from Raleigh.

They claimed that he was a member of this far-white group called the Three Percenters.
The cop who shot this white extremist is in the freezer pending an outcome on whether the shooting was justified.
A female New York Police Department officer committed suicide inside her precinct.
The NYPD is trying to piece together how one of their own decided to end her life. She was a transit officer who worked in the Manhattan Midtown district. She used another police officer's firearm.
She was upset that the NYPD stripped her of her firearm and apparently was planning on firing her out the cannon.
The firearm was stolen from a probationary officer. That officer will face a possible cannon firing for leaving a firearm out in the open. The deceased was working for the NYPD for years.
Police commissioner Dermot Shea and Bill de Blasio had remarks on the matter. They immediately told NYPD officers that there's crisis care centers and facilities to mourn if available.
This is the second suicide of a NYPD officer in 2020. Last year there were 10 officers who killed themselves while on or off duty..
A Philadelphia SWAT officer was gunned down after he tried to serve an arrest warrant to a murder suspect. The terrorist managed to shot just above the bulletproof vest that Cpl. James O'Conner, 46, was wearing.

The officer was told to stay off the campus and was placed in the freezer after this incident.
Another mass shooting.
This one happened in Reno, Nevada.
The terrorist killed her husband and two sons before killing herself. This was another domestic violence incident in which a terrorist had an opportunity to gain access to a firearm.
The Reno Police discovered the bodies of the victims inside a home. The victims, were Adam P. Huber, 50, sons Adam J. Huber, 17 and Michael P. Huber, 16. The terrorist who I won't name was the prime suspect. There was a brief shutdown of a school during this encounter.
Huber was a master technician at the Reno Buick GMC car dealership. He was a dedicated employee to the car dealership said his fellow employees.
"He has always been a valued member of our team," said Doreen Hicks, director of marketing at Reno Buick GMC.
"We mourn the loss of him and his family. At this point, we are assisting the police with their investigation and we cannot comment further at this time."
The sons were students at Damonte Ranch High School. They had to cancel athletic and other school activities. They opened up school counseling and told students and teachers to take a day off if its affecting their lives.
The terrorist was the daughter of a well-known politician. The daughter of John Kelly, an Irish politician. The terrorist married the victim.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The status quo of the gun culture. Now is not the time to talk about gun violence!
If there were more security guards and more civilians (aka the good guy) with a gun.......
They learn how to use firearms from watching (or listening) to gangsta rap.
They watch violent movies.
They don't have fathers or mothers in their lives and it results in them committing criminal acts.
Blah, blah, blah....
Moments of silence, street memorials, naming of public places, saying "Your heart goes out to...," lowering of flags and hashtags are platitudes. They are a huge waste of time. It's a man-made crisis created by a lazy ass government. They are enabling this. Donald J. Trump, Congress and the National Rifle Association are a bunch of lily-livered cowards. They are numb to gun violence.
The "good guy" with a firearm is the most dangerous person to have a firearm. Matter of fact, the NICE GUYS are often the ones who are spurned by society. Bad relationships, losing your job, jealousy over promotions, family feuds and racism are typical NICE GUY issues.
NICE GUYS ARE THE MOST DANGEROUS INDIVIDUALS WITH A FIREARM. THE NICE GUY GETS SPURNED BY SOCIETY. THEY TAKE REVENGE ON SOCIETY. RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE JUST A PIECE OF PAPER. THEY WILL NOT (I REPEAT) STOP A "MAD" MAN FROM OBTAINING A FIREARM.
Don't you just want to scream!?
Scream in the faces of these damn lawmakers whenever they offer their "thoughts and prayers" to every fucking mass shooting in the United States. They will offer their condolences and say a word vomit how they sympathize with the deceased. Some here will tell us that "now isn't the time to talk." Others will say that "the NRA has too much influence on gun laws."
We will talk about this for a few days and then we're off to another controversy. The next controversy would either be something done by Trump, a politician, an entertainer or we will experience another mass shooting. The next mass shooting will be even worse than the last one.
I repeat myself over and over again! I use the same old copy and paste. I hear the same trolls saying that there's nothing we can do. I keep hearing "concern" trolls telling us that it's their own fault for their own deaths. I hear the same old talking points about "good guys with guns" and "god's given rights."
I am getting really tired of dealing with mass shootings.
Which is more dangerous in the United States?
Every poll I put out comes with the same stupid ass trolls picking something that doesn't resonate with the general consensus. We're getting tired of this. Every time these folks offer "thoughts and prayers," "their condolences," "their hearts going out to," and "their apologies," they are not sincere. For every naming of a road, park, bench, building and holiday, it won't matter to the community. For every time they lower flags, offer moments of silence and candlelight vigils, we just offer "feel good-isms."
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
We have mass shootings in the United States everyday. We are the only country in the world that continues to do nothing about this. Donald J. Trump, Congress, the National Rifle Association and agitators in the junk food media have moved on from dealing with this. They're too busy sniping over partisan blame games. With Trump being impeached while in office, he's unlikely to focus on gun violence.
Trump and lawmakers elected to federal office made politics extremely toxic. It's not just the fault of our dear leader and lawmakers, but relentless agitators on the 24/7 cable news channels. They are profiting off division and divisiveness. The internet is also a problem. It's is a breeding ground for potential mass shooters. Facebook, Twitter, Google and other social media outlets have been "ground zero" for disinformation, partisan threats and social activism. Incels and social outcasts find their outlets on sites that inspire them to cause harm to their fellow human beings.
It never happens in your community.......! Until it does! Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. A mass shooting will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how "guns save lives." They don't. The only thing that survives a gun shooting is the gun.
GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
On the eve of the Ohio primaries, Gov. Mike DeWine postpones the election. This was done for the coronavirus. It was also done to weaken Joe Biden and prolong this fight with Bernie Sanders.
This will be a legal fight.
The state of Ohio has postponed the primaries scheduled for Tuesday. The governor Mike DeWine did a bitch move to keep the Democratic primary race going into the summer. It was an attempt to undermine Joe Biden, the current frontrunner in the race for the nomination against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). The proposed date is June 2, 2020.
Months into the summer where Sanders could continue being the total asshat he's been since losing Super Tuesday.
"We cannot tell people ... that they really, really need to stay home and that's in the best interest of their health, and that the risk is high -- and at the same time tell them to go vote," said DeWine.
Bullshit. If they were so invested in cancelling the primaries, why didn't they do it five weeks in advance of the first case in the United States?
Clear voter suppression tactics from Republicans. They don't even know how long the virus may last and given that many employers had laid-off thousands of Ohioans because of the coronavirus, how are many of us going to survive on "uncertainty."
He did it to keep in-person voting from happening because of the coronavirus.
It was set in stone. You can't just suspend an election 24 hours before the casting of votes.
DeWine does admit that he can't unilaterally do so without a court order.
Biden expected to do well in Ohio, Illinois, Arizona and Florida. Sanders wants the state governors to postpone the primaries to keep his campaign floating.
Smells like desperation from Sanders. His supporters are cheering this decision like it's supposed to help Sanders regroup and cause chaos at the Democratic National Convention.
Biden enjoys a comfortable lead in the state. Florida, Arizona and Illinois also has Biden in the lead.
The desperation from the Sanders camp is really pathetic and frustrating.
Right now the state is in limbo. The Ohio Department of Health ordered the closing of polling stations. Once again putting the decision in legal limbo.
Donald Glover releases his latest album under the moniker of Childish Gambino.
Entertainer Donald Glover who goes under the moniker Childish Gambino releases his fourth album, "Donald Glover Presents."
This is a surprise album.
The album is released on RCA Records and it a 12-track collection. It has appearances from Ariana Grande, 21 Savage and SZA.
Donald Glover Presents - the website where the collection is streaming (as well as the name of Glover's Adidas partnership) - doesn't contain any information about the album other than a four-panel sketch of the LP's potential artwork. At press time, the album is available at the Donald Glover Presents site and not streaming services.
While I don't have a confirmed track listing, Glover (aka Childish Gambino) had put together an album that seems like a R&B/HIp-Hop blend.
The album is streamed on his official website, donaldgloverpresents.com
But if you want an unofficial listen, check out Spotify.
Donald McKinley Glover, Jr. is an American actor, comedian, writer, director, musician, and DJ.

He is dating Michelle White and has two children. He also has a brother name Stephen Glover who is an actor, writer and co-star of the FX series Atlanta.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and former Vice President Joe Biden are the only two candidates left.
Yes, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is still in this race. But she's just a gadfly.
They have an opportunity to address the public in a slimmer forum. The CNN/Univision debate is being held in Washington, DC. The debate will have no audience. So that means no heckling or ridiculous outbursts.
Both candidates will have an opportunity to prove to the world, they're better than Donald J. Trump.
With the coronavirus outbreak, the presidential candidates had to scale back campaigning.
The Federal Reserve had did an emergency cut to the interest rate and so far it's not helping the economy.
What I hope to see in this debate is the two debate over voting rights, the coronavirus, Israel, how to appeal to younger voters, how to appeal to generational voters and how they could be a better president.
Trump pretty much is tangled into a mess. He ignored the threat and now we're in a pandemic.
Who won tonight's debate?
Sanders who struggling to regain footing will have his last chance to make the case he's a better candidate than Biden.
So far the trolls online are throwing around conspiracies about Biden's health, his policies and threats about abandoning the Democratic Party because Sanders failed to capture the nomination.
The debate is on CNN. I am going to keep it short and simple.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) endorsed Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for president.
She is a huge backer of Sanders proposals. However, she is not a fan of his Bernie Bros.
The New York lawmaker turned down repeated request to appear with Sanders at campaign rallies.
After the Iowa caucuses, Sanders campaign manager Faiz Shakir asked Ocasio-Cortez to stump for Sanders in New Hampshire, according to the sources. The campaign prepared a model schedule to highlight the kind of popular support she would expect if she attended, one of the people familiar with the talks said.
Ocasio-Cortez resisted the entreaties until a few days before the primary on February 12.
The lawmaker strongly opposed Joe Rogan's endorsement of the senator.
The progressive New York lawmaker disagreed with the campaign over its decision to promote the endorsement of Rogan, the popular podcaster who has been criticized by LGBT activists for opposing puberty blockers for gender-confused children. He has also spoken out against the participation of biological males competing in women's sports.
Shakir also hammered the New York lawmaker for a polarizing speech in which she advocated for those in attendance to help illegal aliens to avoid ICE. She also failed to mention Sanders' name in the January 25th speech. Fox News decided to poke fun at the failure to mention the candidate's name.
Joe Rogan is a controversial podcaster and agitator.
While on Rupert "Pervert" Murdoch's Fox News, Ocasio-Cortez said the results of the Michigan primary were a form of voter suppression.
"Well, I think one thing that isn't being talked about is the rampant voter suppression in this country," she said. "Right there in Ann Arbor, where we had that rally, those kids were waiting three hours in line to vote in Michigan. And so when we talk about who's turning out and who's not turning out, we absolutely need to be clear."
One thing that got me fuming is the fact that Barack Obama had told folks to vote early. Michigan and every state has early voting. I don't understand why she would promote a conspiracy to say that folks waiting in line are denied at the door. Michigan does allow everyone in line to vote. So she's full of shit for making that claim. But what would expect when you're on Fox News trying to help your candidate desperately. You're going to promote conspiracy.
Biden won 71 of the 73 counties in Michigan. There was no suppression in a state that hired Gretchen Wilmer as their governor.
Tonight is the Sunday debate between Sanders and former vice president Joe Biden.
March 17th has the big prizes. Ohio, Florida, Illinois and Arizona. Also March 24th, Georgia.
This could be decided on Tuesday. If Biden does win any of these states, Sanders will likely have to concede the race. If he continues on, he will drag on the nomination race. He will hurt the Democrats chances at wining the election.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) got one on Saturday. He won the U.S. territory of the Northern Mariana Islands Caucuses. He will be awarded 84 delegates and former vice president Joe Biden will be awarded 47 delegates. Two delegates will still uncommitted.
Biden's victory in Michigan, Missouri, Idaho and Washington dented Sanders' bid.
Sanders still committed to running despite his chances shrinking. He believes that he still has an opportunity to win Arizona, Ohio, Illinois, Georgia, Florida and Kansas.
The Sanders Campaign admits that it was "not a good night for our campaign from a delegate point of view."
"We are winning the generational debate. While Joe Biden continues to do very well with older Americans, especially those people over 65, our campaign continues to win the vast majority of votes of younger people," said Sanders.
Hopefully, the two candidates running for the Democratic nomination address an issue that has long dogged me. Why can't the U.S. territories vote for the president?
Voting rights is a huge issue within the Sanders campaign. Thanks to the Inslaur Act of 1897, those living in the U.S. territories are prohibited from voting in the general election for president.
They only are allowed to vote for who could be their nominee and their delegate (a U.S. Representative who only votes on committee but not on floor votes).
The U.S. territories have an estimated population of 5.2 millions people.
Saipan is the largest island in the Northern Mariana Islands The island is considered a city and is the capital of the commonwealth.
American Samoa is the only U.S. territory that has an organic rule where if you're born in the territory, you're a U.S. national and must have a special passport to enter the United States. The Samoan culture only allows it dictates its rules abstained from the U.S. mainland. That is being challenged in the U.S. Courts because some who join the Armed Forces are still denied benefits and rights most American citizen get. American Samoa's delegate is Rep. Amata Catherine Coleman Radewagen (R-AS).
Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands are unincorporated territories. The delegates from these territories are Rep. Michael San Nicolas (D-GU) and Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI).
Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands are self-governing U.S. territories. They are commonwealths in political union with the United States.
Puerto Rico is semi-autonomous and the only U.S. territory with a majority of its population speaking Spanish. The delegate is a U.S. Representative and Resident Commissioner. Rep. Jennifer Aydin Gonzalez Colon (R-PR).
The Northern Mariana Islands now has a U.S. Representative who is their delegate. Rep. Gregorio Sablin (D-MP).
Joe Biden is likely to win Washington. It will be a huge blow to Bernie Sanders who previously won the state in 2016.
The coronavirus hurts Washington state. It's been a nightmare for Gov. Jay Inslee. However, the state is still dedicated to determining the winner of the Democratic primary.
The results are not complete but it's safe to say that former Vice President Joe Biden won the state of Washington.
A state that Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) carried in 2016 by a landslide.
The two are in a dead heat fight for the state. Biden so far leads in the votes with 37% over Sanders holding at 35%.
Biden carried forth Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, Vancouver, Redmond and Spokane. Those are the large population centers of the state. Sanders carried Yakima, Olympia and Bellingham.
The state will award both candidates 37 delegates.
Seattle went to Biden. The city is considered one of the most progressive in the United States.
Sanders only managed to capture California, one of the biggest prizes in the delegate race. He was certified the winner on Friday. Today, the results in Washington come as a bruising blow to Sanders.
After losing Michigan, Sanders had to reflect on how he's going forth. He said that he will not concede and will debate Biden on Sunday. The two confirm they'll do their debate in Washington, DC with no audience. The original plan was to hold a debate in Phoenix, Arizona but it came to halt due to the coronavirus.
Both campaigns canceled rallies in Ohio, Kansas, Arizona, Georgia and Florida.
Biden who barely campaigned in the state.
Sanders did at least get one positive out of this race. Back then, Democrats would award all the delegates to the winner. Now under the new rules, Democrats will do proportional representation.
