Politics Democrats cringing at Hillary Clinton's long goodbye

[bodyman5000 and 1]

In other words, she's a politician. If all we are saying is 'a pox on all politicians', then ok. That isn't a terribly useful statement, unless you are planning a different system of government.



Ok. So you discount, for instance, knowledge of and interest in world affairs?

Knowledge of? Sure. She knows all the shady shit our government does. Hell, she's done tons of it. She's way better then huh?

World affairs doesn't mean what our government does specifically. It also means what other governments have done, are doing, and are likely to do.

And I don't understand people who say things 'she's just a mirror image of Trump', that's just an absurdly false equivalence. Like saying Burger King is crap, and so is dog crap.

I wouldn't object to saying that she was an awful candidate, or that she's got problems with honesty and/or corruption, or that she's beholden to special interests, etc. etc. Arguments can be made for those things.

But those are 'normal' politician problems. Trump goes way, way beyond that.

I stand by my opinion. HRC is just far better at keeping her misdeeds and selfish actions on the down low than Trump. She's just as much about Hillary as Donny is about Donny. Just a different physical package.

If that's true, how do you know about them? Do you have some special source of information?

That probably isn't at all true, given Hillary's record of public service. Can you imagine Trump working as a public defender? Or starting a rape crisis center?

I think they're both equally creepy. They both have weird hairstyles. They both make weird faces. They're both full of shit. I think mirror image can encapsulate many different things.

Neither one looks good when morphed with Kim Jung Un, I'll give you that.

But apparently not enough to get past you. So how good could she be? (Who did SHE grab by the pussy, by the way?)

I don't think it even matters if it is 50/50.

Someone here seems to think it was Mother Theresa vs Hitler.

Ain't buying that ever.

Strange comment from someone whose entire platform seems to be based on the Twitter feed of others but, as I stated, I find anyone who thinks she is a particularly good human being as incomprehensible as anyone who thinks Trump is. It may be apples to oranges but a fruit is still a fruit. And if the scurrilous rumors are to be believed, she grabbed Janet Reno's pussy. Not that I really care but then, you were the one wondering......

I don't think anyone here has suggested that Trump is Mother Theresa.

But it does matter if people are unable to distinguish between a run-of-the-mill, centrist politician (Clinton) and a utterly unqualified, amoral cretin (that's Trump, for those of you scoring at home).

How exactly does one "grab by the pussy"? Can we examine this for a second? I mean really, from an ergonomics standpoint, I just don't see there being much to grab onto. It's not like a dick or balls where you can really grab hold and not let go, its just kind of a flat area. Like trying to grasp a garage door or something. Would be tough with small hands.

The only thing I can think of is the bowling ball grip.

The guy probably didn't want to say "I get my bodyguards to promise women money"

That's the simplest explanation.

The latest threat to human kind. If you listen to CNN.

Lately the media is whining that they're no longer the gatekeepers of The Truth(tm). The arrogance is astounding.

Five minutes in to this. Describes me perfectly. I think things instantly that I can't rationalize.

Can we get back to mocking grammar?

Me thinks thou doth protest too much. (FYI, a Shakespeare reference.)

Your Victorian conjugation is horrendous! "Doth" is third-person singular (as in the original quote, "the lady doth..."); following "thou", you should have used "dost". NEWB!!!1!!11!1!

I used DOTH a lot years ago, back before WINDOTH came out.

With regard to cringing, I guess since I'm no longer a Dem, that I'm not. I'd rather throw tomatoes... All this whining means Hillary deserves one of these IMO:

She's INNOCENT!

Push to unseal the draft Whitewater indictment against Hillary Clinton gets court date

The documents in question are alleged drafts of indictments written by Hickman Ewing, the chief deputy of Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel appointed to investigate Bill and Hillary Clinton’s alleged involvement in fraudulent real estate dealings. Although others were sentenced for their role in the matter, neither Clinton was ever prosecuted.

Ewing told investigators he drafted the indictments in April 1995. According to Judicial Watch, the documents pertain to allegations that Hillary Clinton provided false information and withheld information from those investigating Whitewater.
