Parental Basement Dwellers: Hillary Clinton Criticizes Bernie Sanders Voters for Having ‘Bought into False Promise’
I'm sure this will help "woo" the millennial voters for Clinton.
Okay, so if you favor Trump you are one of the "deplorables". If you were a Bernie fan you're a "basement dwelling barista living with your parents." In my opinion, Bernie voters and the OWS crowd are one in the same. But what gets me in this. If you don't want to be a deplorable or a basement dwelling barista what is the solution?
Cast your vote for Killary a lying, conniving, scandal-ridden, bitch.
Or so she would have you believe.

“It’s a false promise,” Clinton says in the recording, referencing Sanders’ political revolution. “But I don’t think you tell idealistic people — particularly young people — that they’ve bought into a false promise.”
The audio, which was released by the Washington Free Beacon, comes just three weeks after Clinton faced backlash for calling millions of Americans supporting Donald Trump “deplorables.”
The recording, which is from a fundraising event in February, catches the Democratic nominee calling Sanders’ supporters “children of the Great Recession” that are “living in their parents’ basement.”
“There is a strain of, on the one hand, the kind of populist, nationalist, xenophobic, discriminatory kind of approach that we hear too much of from the Republican candidates,” Clinton states.
She continues:
And on the other side, there’s just a deep desire to believe that we can have free college, free healthcare, that what we’ve done hasn’t gone far enough, and that we just need to, you know, go as far as, you know, Scandinavia, whatever that means, and half the people don’t know what that means, but it’s something that they deeply feel.
“Some are new to politics completely. They’re children of the Great Recession. And they are living in their parents’ basement,” Clinton adds. “They feel they got their education and the jobs that are available to them are not at all what they envisioned for themselves. And they don’t see much of a future.”
“If you’re feeling like you’re consigned to, you know, being a
, or you know, some other job that doesn’t pay a lot, and doesn’t have some other ladder of opportunity attached to it, then the idea that maybe, just maybe, you could be part of a political revolution is pretty appealing.”
The audio, which the Washington Free Beacon reports was “revealed by hackers who breached the email account of a campaign staffer,” is making headlines after Sanders hit the campaign trail in New Hampshire on Wednesday to woo millennial voters for Clinton.

In 1938 Time magazine made Hitler man of the year...so this comes as no surprise
One of Kaepernick's own. St Michael.
BTW...This is his real headstone.
Brown is among the most notable residents of 160-year-old St. Peter's Cemetery, but there is no headstone marking his grave. Instead the burial plot — Section 10, Block F, Lot 12, Grave 4 — is visible only when gazing down at a concrete slab simply spray-painted in orange with "MB."
Other matters have interfered in getting the permanent headstone in place, said Lyah LeFlore, vice president of the Michael O.D. Brown "We Love Our Sons & Daughters" Foundation that Brown's mother, Lesley McSpadden, helped launch in her late son's memory. Among the distractions: The unfolding wrongful-death lawsuit that McSpadden and Brown's father filed against Ferguson, the St. Louis suburb's former police chief and Darren Wilson, the officer who shot and killed Brown during an August 2014 confrontation.
The cost presumably isn't an issue: In the weeks after Brown's death, hundreds of thousands of dollars were raised through fundraising websites to defray the family's funeral, burial, travel and living expenses.
"Everybody has to do things kind of at their own pace," LeFlore said of efforts to mark Brown's grave. McSpadden added "I just want something beautiful, poetic, and wonderful in her son's memory. It has just taken time."
Translation:
We spent the money.
But they did have $3.95 left for a can of spray paint to honor her "beloved son."
How touching.
How touching.

Twenty-one states file suit against Obama to stop another end run around Congress
---------------------------------------
President Obama is doing anything but closing out his lame duck term quietly. On the contrary, he’s doing yet another end run around both the U.S. Congress and all 50 states, imposing yet another mandate that will cost money and jobs, possibly forcing states to raise taxes as well.
Twenty-one states have filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Sherman, Texas, to stop him. Hours after the states filed their lawsuit, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups filed a similar lawsuit with the same federal court.
Obama’s new mandate would force employers in all states to pay overtime to certain state employees. These employees include “bona fide executive, administrative, or professional” workers as they are not covered by the federal law that requires states to pay overtime for work performed beyond 40 hours in a week. The mandate applies to both private and public sector employers.
On the surface this sounds somewhat sensible. Why shouldn’t any state worker – or private sector worker contracted by the state – be eligible for overtime if they work more than 40 hours in a week? One reason why this hasn’t happened yet is many states are strapped just trying to balance their current budgets. Mr. Obama’s lack of hope and change, much less his promised economic recovery, hasn’t helped.
The law says it should be up to the individual states first to decide if, and when, they should make such a change. Then they can ask Congress to change the law, and it’s up to Congress to have the final say.
This action by the Obama administration violates the Fair Labor Standards Act – only Congress has the power to establish a federal hourly minimum wage. It also violates the Constitution as it forces states to pay their workers higher wages at the expense of state budgets, services and governmental programs.
Obama actually put this in motion a couple of years ago when he told his Labor Department to change this exception for “white collar” state employees. The department has now raised the minimum salary cutoff for overtime by more than double. The new rule also forces states to raise that cutoff even higher every three years.
As of now, starting December 1, 2016, all state employees will be entitled to overtime if they earn up to $913 per week regardless of whether they have “executive, administrative, or professional” responsibilities.
State government estimates peg the number of workers impacted at a minimum of 500 and reaching into the thousands, per state. Iowa projects its budget hit to be over $19 million, other states likely a lot more.
States such as Nevada – dependent on its tourism industry – would be hit very hard. According to the National Federation of Independent Businesses nearly half of all small businesses in Nevada employ at least one person who’d be affected by this new rule.
Not coincidentally, Nevada – through its Attorney General Adam Laxalt – is the lead plaintiff in this lawsuit.
In filing the suit Laxalt said: “This rule, pushed by distant bureaucrats in D.C., tramples on state and local government budgets, forcing states to shift money from other important programs to balance their budgets, including programs intended to protect the very families that purportedly benefit from such federal overreach.”
“Federal overreach” is already one of Obama’s legacies as he prepares to leave office. The courts have reined him in before and hopefully will do so again.
