Hillary’s $$$$ for National Security Positions Scam
New emails seem to show that an unqualified man was given a spot on a national security advisory board because he was a donor to the Clinton Foundation. And when the media came asking questions, Hillary’s shop panicked and he quickly resigned:
Newly released State Department emails help reveal how a major Clinton Foundation donor was placed on a sensitive government intelligence advisory board even though he had no obvious experience in the field, a decision that appeared to baffle the department’s professional staff.
The emails further reveal how, after inquiries from ABC News, the Clinton staff sought to “protect the name” of the Secretary, “stall” the ABC News reporter and ultimately accept the resignation of the donor just two days later. …
. . . .
The newly released emails reveal that after ABC News started asking questions in August 2011, a State Department official who worked with the advisory board couldn’t immediately come up with a justification for Fernando serving on the panel. His and other emails make repeated references to “S”; ABC News has been told this is a common way to refer to the Secretary of State.
“The true answer is simply that S staff (Cheryl Mills) added him,” wrote Wade Boese, who was Chief of Staff for the Office of the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security, in an email to Mannina, the press aide. “Raj was not on the list sent to S; he was added at their insistence.”

In the memorable phraseology of Michael Brendan Dougherty, Hillary is a “bottomlessly cynical, power-mad grifter.” Dougherty’s piece suggests you not vote Trump or Clinton, even if your opinion of Clinton is as follows:”if she thought it would get her four centimeters closer to the presidency, Hillary Clinton would devour your squealing grandchild, or her own, live on the set of The View.” Because you may have an “equally credible suspicion” that “Donald Trump is rabies in human form, likely to drive our country into a feverish search for scraps in the neighbors’ garbage only to get us run over by a truck.”
P.S. GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell just said about the presumptive GOP nominee: “it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t know a lot about the issues.” McConnell’s advice: use a script more. “It’s why I have argued to him publicly and privately that he ought to use a script more often—there is nothing wrong with having prepared texts.” This is where we are.

I’m very comfortable with his judgment in these matters.

Colonel Haiku (d8affe) — 6/10/2016 @ 10:14 amWe already knew, or could have known, because the story was little noted nor long remembered, that an unqualified man was given a spot on a national security advisory board.
What the new emails shows is that it was definitely a patronage appointment.
And he didn’t even contribute to a campaign, but to this foundation.
The reason the emails shows that is because ABC raised questions, and they discussed it ineternally.
Moral: It’s always a good thing to “tickle the wire” even if there is no wire, because maybe one day you might find out what they said to each other.

That Hillary is horrible does not mean that Trump is not horrible.
They are just horrible in slightly different ways.
The difference between the two is the difference between fascism and communism. (I don’t mean to be Godwin here, nor am I say that Trump is a fascist in fact.)
Fascism is authoritarian statism with a nationalist veneer that keeps the outward forms of capitalism even as it guts the inward substance of capitalism.
Communism is authoritarian statism with an internationalist veneer that is not interested in keeping the outward forms of capitalism.
You can easily can map Trump and Clinton along that divide.
What actual conservatism wants is a nonauthoritarian state that does only what is necessary to do, and leaves capitalism and the free market alone as much as possible.
Nothing about Hillary matches that–but just as equally, nothing about Donald matches that.

narciso (732bc0) — 6/10/2016 @ 11:35 amWe had some major strategic gains from Iraq before Obama gave them up. Also, the intel that led to Osama Bin Laden was captured in Iraq. It’s always amazing seeing how a Trump fan can fly from extreme to extreme.
He was articulate when he said Hillary would be a terrific secretary of state, would be a great president, and had done a great job as Secretary of State after she left that post (and thus praising her handling of Benghazi). But you’re going to ignore this point, like you have every time it’s brought up.
Trump has also praised communist thuggery across the board, talked about using nuclear weapons against our allies, and sorta sounds like an idiot all the time.
That’s your gal.

narciso (732bc0) — 6/10/2016 @ 11:52 amit doesn’t surprise me at all that Mr. Trump tried to stay on the good side of a vindictive criminal old woman what keeps soiling herself – he has a lot of business interests in New York, and her political power-base is still in NY where she bought a senate seat and her son in law is anthony weiner and her other son in law is a new york hedge fund pansy and her husband is a sickly herpes victim who used to be president whose offices are in harlem
that was just good smart business at the time it has nothing to do with where we are today

Steve Malynn (4bc33a) — 6/10/2016 @ 12:29 pmwell that would be you
happyfeet (831175) — 6/10/2016 @ 12:29 pmYou’re being vague. Was Trump a coward, and afraid of standing up to Hillary, or was he corrupt, and hoping to get some better business deals because he enriched the right corrupt democrats?
And does it really take going on Larry King to praise Hillary before her confirmation hearings to run a business in New York? I can’t recall every other New York businessman doing it, and Trump sure did go on TV to praise Hillary in particular quite a lot.
Actually, Senator Cruz was fighting Obamacare, amnesty, and excessive government spending. He did alienate those who profit from a big government, but the purpose was clear, and it wasn’t Cruz’s entertainment. Cruz easily could had sold out and he would have a much easier time on the hill, but he has character and is honest.
It’s amazing to me that you hate him so much. You call him filth, are furious that he is well educated (angrily citing his university every time you mention him), and also have bashed his wife dozens of times. Your candidate, Donald Trump, tweeted ugly pictures of Senator Cruz’s wife, smeared his dad as associated with JFK’s murder, and from your comments it’s clear this is what you’re looking for in a leader.
It reminds me of idiocracy, when the only man of normal intelligence sounds “faggy” to the morons. When he tries to explain himself, they are only more enraged. In the end, they become desperate for his help, just as I think America is desperate for well educated, non-macho, conservative leadership that will tell us we can’t have all the ‘huge’ ‘awesome’ government benefits Trump is promising.

No, he does it on purpose.
Question is, is he an alpha male who acts like an alpha male, or a beta male acting like an alpha male.
We’ve had only a couple of the first kind as POTUS: TRoosevelt, Andrew Jackson, LBJ.
We’ve had a bunch of alpha males acting like beta males, a lot of beta males acting like alphas. I would suggest most of our best presidents are alphas acting like betas, but not all of them are that good: and most of the betas acting like alphas are mediocre, but some are good, and it would be difficult a lot of the time to sort out who belongs in which category. There haven’t been many betas acting like betas, because that kind doesn’t generally succeed in politics, but I suspect some of the worst presidents–Buchanan, say–might fit there. To succeed in politics requires some sort of blending, the ability to know when to act like an alpha and when to act like a beta.
Recent occupants
Nixon–beta acting like an alpha
Ford–ditto
Carter–ditto
Reagan–alpha acting like a beta
Bush Sr.–beta acting like an alpha
Clinton–alpha acting like a beta
Bush Jr.–ditto
Obama–beta acting like an alpha
The above is semiphilosophical rambling and can be ignore/laughed at as wished.
kishnevi (870883) — 6/10/2016 @ 12:44 pmYou’re the one who leveled the attacks on Cruz. Now you’re just ignoring my points with some lazy snark. You were a better commenter when you wanted to discuss stuff, instead of just troll out ugliness and snark when you get a reaction.
But no, Trump is not a good person. Even most of his supporters admit that much. Few sincerely think Trump is a good person after how he treated the mother of his kids, how he smeared the parents and spouses of his opponents, how he ruined the life of that woman his Trump University scam robbed, how he used his political connections to seize homes and pave over them, how he cheated investors of their end of Trump contracts in serial bankruptcies, and how he’s lied and flip flopped repeatedly as a decades long politician who has never actually won office. Trump the guy who praises himself endlessly, who praises dictators rolling tanks at Tienanmen Square, who paints his name in thirty foot letters.
I could see someone thinking Clinton is worse than Trump. She has the longer record and it’s terrible. You have to pick between two corrupt bastards, and both choices are wrong to some degree. But you actually say Trump represents your concept of good. No wonder you hate Cruz so much.

Dustin (2a8be7) — 6/10/2016 @ 12:47 pmSorry, Haiku, I’m going to hope like hell the GOP doesn’t nominate Trump, which is why I am making my point now, as sorry as it is. Hillary is not as bad as Trump. I’d vote for her over him.
Yes, I know she is corrupt. Her policies are almost as bad as Trump’s (actual) views, proven over decades of Trump’s actions, not his lies in the GOP primary. Hillary is less likely to get thousands of soldiers killed. Trump has shown he does not respect our veterans, and they are just cannon fodder to his ego. Hillary has fought our speech rights, but not with Trump’s zealousness.
Hillary is vastly more competent and experienced than Trump. Trump cannot speak coherently off the prompter about issues he claims to care deeply about.
Hillary would be four more years of what we’ve survived for eight. Trump would be something darker.
Aside from this direct case, Trump would take the GOP far to the left. His failures and corruption would define the GOP. While it would be good to see the GOP replaced by a conservative reform party, Trump’s impact would greatly harm the conservative side of many issues.
I know you’re afraid of Hillary, and I realize your fear is justified, but you have to show how Trump is better than Hillary to make your point. Just saying Hillary is bad isn’t enough, because it’s a contest. They are both terrible.

http://www.dailywire.com/news/5474/5-arguments-voting-trump-and-why-they-fail-ben-shapiro
y’all are way way too invested in failmerica’s decline
Mr. Trump is so much better than a nasty clinton skank because of three primary reasons.
#1 he’s smart and he understands branding – he’ll do everything he can to help America be more better so as to burnish both America’s brand and his own
#2 he’s disruptive and he’ll help Team R reform into something recognizably American again – the socialists are just as corrupt and sclerotic as Team R, but they don’t have a Mr. Trump to help them move forward, just a nasty old woman who smells like a litterbox
#3 he’ll make much much better appointments throughout government and the courts than skank will – and those people will learn and grow and be prepared to serve at the state and local levels and in subsequent R administrations – and most importantly – they will open doors for others
yay Mr. Trump i love you

kishnevi (870883) — 6/10/2016 @ 1:18 pm#2 well, he’s certainly disruptive, but he’ll push Team R leftwards.
#3 wishful thinking. More likely he’ll look for a bunch of yesmen and yeswomen.
brand? Trump’s brand is awful.
disruptive? Only to the good guys. Happyfeet just went on about how Trump worked with Hillary because he’s a new yorker. He was so disruptive he was kissing Hillary’s ass on national TV for years and years. Other people Trump hasn’t disrupted: Reid, Pelosi, Schumer.
appointments? No evidence of that one. And Trump is a disaster for the downticket.

The actual videos of the depositions will be blocked by a judge who doesn’t want to interfere with Hillary’s election, but the depositions are available, and with actors playing the various roles, they make for interesting viewing. You will find the video a ways down the page. It is labelled “Clinton Emails on Film: Cheryl Mills Deposition”. I wasn’t very impressed by the lady lawyer who was taking the deposition, but perhaps she was looking for something that wasn’t obvious. Mills managed to remember her name and where she went to school, but after that not so much.

kishnevi (b9b7a2) — 6/10/2016 @ 1:57 pmFirst of all Dustin, you really need to control your childish proclivity toward calling everyone who disagrees with you a coward in one form or another. Sooner or later it will cost you a few teeth. You’re safe doing it here of course which only proves your projection.
We’ve come up against leftist democrats like yourself before and realize no matter what we say there will never be any way to prove “a positive case for the GOP”. It’s like trying to tell a AGW cultist the science isn’t really settled. Suffice it to say we don’t believe that democrats are the boogeyman, only that Hillary is a communist and if you’re 4Hillary! you’re a traitor to America.
But it’s good you came out as a democrat, not that we didn’t know already.

Colonel Haiku (f00165) — 6/10/2016 @ 3:19 pmYeah, Trump, who doesn’t care for “PC Values.” That’s why he’s come out strongly against the Justice Department and the Department of Education’s ham-handed “advisory” that threatens to de-fund public schools that don’t turn basic biology on its head to accommodate gender dysphoric children and their weird parents.
Oh, yeah. He HASN’T said a word about that, has he?

verb informal
1. an unusually thick or stout ankle
2. To make a complete idiot of oneself in public or on a forum. To behave, speak or write in such a way, or to make a comment or express an opinion that is so profoundly witless, senseless and obtuse, that you have forever after defined yourself as a person of politically comical value only. Never to be taken seriously again. Of worth only as an object of ridicule and derision.
3. Thick or numb of skull.

happyfeet (831175) — 6/10/2016 @ 3:34 pmHMMM: Hundreds allege Donald Trump doesn’t pay his bills.
“If I’m Trump, here’s my pitch:
So the USA Today — very bad paper, they call it McPaper, but that’s unfair because McDonald’s offers real value, have you tried their dollar menu? Superb! — says I don’t pay my bills. That’s crazy, I’m like the best bill-payer you’ll ever see. I pay bills I haven’t even gotten yet.
But say they’re right, isn’t that what America needs, a guy who knows how to stiff creditors? See you people had the chance to elect Mitt Romney, a turnaround artist, a guy who’s really, really good at taking busted companies and fixing them. But instead you elected Obama, who’s doubled the national debt to $20 trillion, and when you count the unfunded obligations it’s more like 80 or 100 trillion, and America’s never gonna be able to pay all that. Never! We’re only still in business now because the Treasury’s good at stringing people along, and believe me, that’s something I understand too.
So when we go bust — and we will — don’t you want a guy at the helm who can stiff his creditors and still come out smelling like a rose? Of course you do! And that’s me, not Crooked Hillary!”
Hell, in this election season, that might just work.

And you know what else?
We’re gonna have a super-fun time making America great again.

happyfeet (831175) — 6/10/2016 @ 4:11 pmIf Obama has decided to indict Hillary his endorsement will go a long way toward deflecting criticism for throwing her under the bus, and it helps keep her voters in line.

Read the review by Chefdevergue for instance. (he still thinks only alarge number of troops could have done in. Theer were maybe two turning points. At one point an offensive by Chiang was stopped.)
I think there’s another book, too that focues on 1946.

I thought you realized Trump is a pathological liar and none of his promises (or as he calls them now, suggestions) can be relied on.
You don’t understand that he will fully fund PP and use that as evidence he is a great negotiator?
I thought you supported him simply because you think he is not quite as bad as Hillary, and will do less damage to the Republic than she will–ideas I disagree with but which I can respect as rational. But now I see you think Trump is a real conservative, even though he is as much an authoritarian statist and as much a corrupt liar as she is.
You should realize that opposing Trump is for many of us the right thing to do—using “right” in both the moral and political meanings of the word.
To see a man of your intelligence fall for such a con as Trump is depressing.
kishnevi (35d300) — 6/10/2016 @ 6:59 pmthere are so many things wrong with allowing red queen in the oval office,
Replace the reference to Hillary in that sentence with a reference to Donald, and it will be equally true.
The main difference between the two is that one has male gonads and the other female gonads.

“And yet nearly 100% of the media, the GOP establishment, and the conservative intellectual class found them “racist.”
So what can we determine based on this?
Well, here are the possibilities:
1. That the media, the GOP establishment, and the conservative intellectual class are simply better — smarter, more perceptive, more moral — than the stupid fucking American voters they hover above on their gossamer thrones of cloudwisp and starshine.
2. That the media, GOP establishment, and conservative intellectual class share similar cultural/class inputs which lead them to think in exactly the same way, and the lack of intellectual diversity among them tends to make them miss things that other people know, and furthermore, their intellectual insularity — forever talking only to each other, and carefully curating out of their timelines anyone from any different sort of background — then hardens them in their unchallenged opinion.
For example, Ginch Bangwell (Kurt Schlichter), who is a practicing lawyer, said the first thing every lawyer does when he gets a judge assigned to a case is check his background.
But, to hear the professional middle class/media/conservative intellectual class tell it, such calculations and guesses are wholly inappropriate and are textbook racism and no one who is involved in a legal matter should ever make guesses about judge behavior based on “profiling.”
Or, as a commenter put it here: Certainly, it is not the case that every prosecutor tries to stirke as many black women from a jury as the constitution will permit, and every defense attorney definitely does not try to strike every middle-aged white man from the jury.
I mean — it’s ideologically forbidden. And Theory is all that matters in the real world.

Of course lawyers do that…was he a prosecutor or a civil ligitator….is he strict with sentencing….how does he rule on various standard motions…who he went to law school with…what legal associations does he belong to…

papertiger (c2d6da) — 6/10/2016 @ 8:22 pmAssume what Ace wrote is an accurate reading of the GOPe mindset. If so, then the last thing they should want to do is sacrifice Ryan in a losing cause. Ryan is a potential 2020 competitor.
Actually, if you read the whole thing, Ace suggests Tom Cotten. Ryan’s busy, and besides, he cannot placate the Trump crowd in the slightest.
And even if you didn’t care about that, and you needed a credible placeholder who stood a chance, you’d run Romney, not Ryan. Romney at least has made all his mistakes and could hit the ground running. And he does have that “I told you so, will you PLEASE listen this time” argument. I know moderate Democrats who respect Romney and might vote for him, where they would never in a million years consider Trump.

narciso (732bc0) — 6/10/2016 @ 8:39 pmhoagie,
I didn’t really understand your comment directed at me aside from some effort to make it personal. I wasn’t insulting anyone. I provided arguments. The only argument I see in reply is that Hillary is very bad. And she is, but I ask for some analysis of how she’s worse than Trump and you guys never seem to come up with anything.
Your effort to say I’m a hillary fan is dishonest.
Also, you do not understand the term ‘fear’ or ‘coward’. Fear is a gift. You cannot be brave without fear, and you also can’t survive without it. That people are afraid of Hillary is no surprise and not an insult to them. I’m just more afraid of a Trump presidency than a Hillary one. You interpreting this as a slight at your manhood is a cause for some introspection. But why not stop making it personal? You’re starting to sound like papertiger. If you don’t recognize why that’s a bad thing then I’m wasting my time, but I usually think you’re a cut above the happyfeets and papertigers on here.

papertiger (c2d6da) — 6/10/2016 @ 9:34 pmCorrect the Record, a super PAC supporting Hillary Clinton’s bid to become US president, has promised to invest more than $1 million to respond to users criticizing its candidate on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, and other social media services. The super PAC says its new “Barrier Breakers digital task force” will respond “quickly and forcefully to negative attacks and false narratives found online,” in addition to thanking major supporters and “committed superdelegates” directly.
In a press release, Correct the Record said its new initiative was inspired by interactions with Bernie Sanders supporters. So-called “Bernie Bros” have become a phenomenon online, sharing their chosen candidate’s videos, pictures, and memes across social media services. Hillary Clinton’s supporters appear to be quieter on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and the like, but Correct the Record said that this doesn’t reflect a lack of enthusiasm — rather, that they were often afraid to speak up about their choice because they fear harassment. “Many of Hillary Clinton’s female supporters in particular,” the press release reads, “have been subject to intense cyber-bullying and sexist attacks from swarms of anonymous attackers.”

cedarhill (abed02) — 6/11/2016 @ 4:34 amReally??? So Obamacare was repealed in any way or amount due to a bill introduced or sponsored by Ted? Nope. So he did exactly squat except make noise.
So that’s why he worked for the passage of comprehensive immigration “reform” and added his own amendment that would have allowed illegals to stay in the US indefinitely, without even a requirement that they attempt to become citizens?
Which he showed by voting against the defense spending bill three years in a row. In fact, I can’t find a single spending authorization bill he has voted for. That’s not leadership or principles, unless you think there should be no government at all. I note he never introduced any bills to reduce his own salary or the funding for his staff. Hmm.
Oh, you mean like how he alienated the Chamber of Commerce and other big money business interests when he introduced legislation to increase H1B visas by 500%? But you are right, the purpose was clear. Ted always does what will benefit Ted down the road, and since he doesn’t know exactly what will benefit him in the future, he plays both sides so that he can claim to have taken either side later. Add an amendment to a defense bill, vote against the bill, but claim credit for the provision he put in that he then voted against. Talk to veterans, “See, I supported our military by adding these provisions”. Talk to a fiscal conservative “See, I oppose wasteful spending”. Talk to a strict constitutionalist “See, I oppose the the indefinite confinement of Americans who are fighting for the enemy”. No matter who he is talking to, he can point to the same bill and claim it shows how much he aligns with his audience. Same with immigration. Offered amendments that would have allowed illegals to stay here legally forever and made numerous statements of support. When the bill failed, and he was running for President with an opponent whose signature issue was illegal immigration, those actions became sly machinations meant to disclose the evil of the supporters of the bill (but not him, even though he supported it). Had Trump not been in the race, Cruz would have pointed to the same actions and claimed that he was for “reasonable” immigration reform and had worked hard to get just such a bill passed.
He talks the part of a maverick (sound like a previous failed Republican presidential hopeful?) by making statements and casting meaningless votes. But when the chips are down, he falls right in line and casts the votes he is told to.

narciso (732bc0) — 6/11/2016 @ 7:03 amDustin, I thought it was quite clear that you often start calling opponents “cowards” or “afraid” and I think that is getting both personal and insulting.
Dustin, are you honestly telling me you’ve been on this blog for all this time and you haven’t heard ad nausea all the arguments as to why Hillary! is worse? I hope you’re kidding because if you’re not then you have a serious problem. All of us, even the #nevertrump’s have listed her nefarious, traitorous bona fides a thousand times. Acting like you don’t know or putting your fingers in your ears and going lalalalal, won’t cut it.
I most certainly do understand the words ‘fear’ and ‘coward’, Dustin. And although a healthy dose of fear under appropriate circumstances can be a good thing being a yellow-belly coward is never a good thing. I suggest you don’t know what fear is and confuse it with concern and apprehension in politics.
You say: “Fear is a gift. You cannot be brave without fear, and you also can’t survive without it”. Only one definition of bravery is overcoming fear. The other is having no fear to begin with.
I think the only people “afraid” of Hilary! are Bill and the poor unfortunates that work for her.
You misconstrue, Dustin. I interpret this as a slight against my honor, my manhood is incontestable.
Relax, it was no effort at all. But I didn’t say “fan” I was going for more of a 4Hillary! supporter than an actual fan of the witch. I figure one does not need to agree with, be a fan of or even like Hillary! to be a supporter. One only needs to constantly b!tch about Trump and convince enough people by doing that to vote for Hillary!.
I’m not trying to make it personal, I never do. On occasion I have said things I regretted and apologized. And happyfeet, papertiger and ropelight are entitled to their opinions and they’re big boys and will defend the same. They don’t need me. But I try and be fair, especially to fellow conservatives before I begin calling them names.

“YOU WILL BE MADE TO CARE: Federal Officials Push To Urbanize Suburbia Under New HUD Regulation.
In its final months, the Obama administration has set up a strategy to bring inner city living to the suburbs by deploying three federal agencies to dictate to states and local communities how to set up schools, housing and mass transit.
It’s all part of a federal push to reduce economic and racial segregation in favor of diversity.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) expanded the reach of its Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule to two other federal agencies: the Department of Transportation and the Department of Education.
AFFH is a rule established by HUD last year that requires any nationwide locality that receives block grant funding from the agency to rezone neighborhoods based on income and racial prerequisites.
Just more “Curley Effect” tinkering designed to create Democratic voters.”

On the strength of sympathy for her as the scorned wife she was elected senator against weak opposition. She served for eight years in the Senate without having done anything there that anyone can remember. Then she served four years as Secretary of State and still has no accomplishments from that job that she can brag about. But she certainly had a hand in helping to lay waste to the Middle East, Northern Africa and sowing the destructive seeds that will change Europe, and not for the better.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 6/11/2016 @ 8:14 amSo what you’re saying Colonel, is HUD is going to use our tax money to relocate the very people we moved away from the city to escape back into our neighborhoods. 4Hillary!

And Your Credit Creeps to An All-time Low
So You Know, That You’re Over the Hill
When Your Mind Makes a Promise That Your Body Can’t Fill

Regarding Hillary’s record, like I wrote last month:
This is the advantage a rank amateur like Trump — who has not just only never held a similar position but never been in government at all — has over someone with a chequered record in government like Hillary; you can claim his blank slate will always remain clean.

Rev. Hoagie© (734193) — 6/11/2016 @ 11:45 amThat is not so, Mr.Smithee. I called only Hillary a name, “quisling”. Calling nk Mr. #4Hillary! is snarky perhaps but not name calling, specially when he was supporting Hillary over Trump. In fact, you are the one who alluded to nk perhaps being “feeble-minded”, not I. I think nk is of very sound mind. It’s his judgment I question.
I question anyone’s judgment who keeps comparing Hillary! with Trump in the hopes of placing one or the other in some nefarious superior position. It won’t happen so all your comparisons either historically or contemporary mean nothing. In the final analysis if they were both identical on character flaws, policy failures, moral depravity and just plain ugliness Hillary is still a communist so Trump still wins. Just sayin’.

No, Hillarycare went down in flames because it was a scheme that depended on a bloated bureaucracy and regulation to work. Even the 1990s Democrats could not stomach it.

narciso (732bc0) — 6/11/2016 @ 2:42 pmRomney reserved particular scorn for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who Romney endorsed late in the primary process. The Texas senator, he pointed out, spent extensive time during the campaign praising Trump.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 6/11/2016 @ 2:45 pmThe Texas senator, he pointed out, spent extensive time during the campaign praising Trump.
Yes, and at the same time attacking all the others. Cruz thought that when it came down to him or Trump the party would have no choice. He was right. Trump and Carson should have been strangled in the crib.
Kevin M (25bbee) — 6/11/2016 @ 4:16 pmI think Cruz praised Trump because he hoped to pick up his supporters but also because in the early months of the campaign, Trump was saying things that needed to be said about the border and the plight of the working men and women. These were things that Cruz agreed with Trump about and had been saying for years in Texas, but Cruz doesn’t say them with the bluster Trump does.
I don’t fault Cruz for not criticizing Trump when they agreed. You don’t criticize someone who agrees with you unless you are Donald Trump, who eventually criticizes everyone.

narciso (732bc0) — 6/11/2016 @ 5:31 pm‘ow do they say in your country? Read the whole thing. happyfeet quoted Romney about Cruz, because happyfeet is Boba Fett, but the meat is that Romney called Donnie a fraud and a con man.
I have always liked Romney.
nk (dbc370) — 6/11/2016 @ 5:34 pmMr. Cruz’s biggest mistake was suspending his campaign to scurry over to tennessee for some self-indulgent kim davis butt snuffles
this threw him way off message going forward
then he did the bathroom tranny jihad thing in indiana while Mr. Trump was talking about jobs and Carrier
him and his sacky, they were just flat out not ready for prime time
it was like watching Jim Bakker and Tammy Fay run for president, just without the charisma
happyfeet (831175) — 6/11/2016 @ 5:37 pmyes, obama was in over his head, but trump was vandal savage, or some other criminal overlord right.
narciso (732bc0) — 6/11/2016 @ 5:42 pmoh please at *worst* Mr. Trump was a tad insouciant and bore a devil-may-care swagger
happyfeet (831175) — 6/11/2016 @ 5:44 pmTrump’s “mistake” is not having a clue what he believes in, other than himself. He will say anything.
DRJ (15874d) — 6/11/2016 @ 5:46 pmyou just don’t like him
but honestly the whole idea of liking or disliking some sleazy failmerican president is becoming just really weird
after george w the butcher bush and obama – who raped jobs and the treasury (while promising food stamp multiplier effects)
let’s not pretend the presidency has anything to do with moral chartacter
the last one that was remotely moral was ronnie r and he was in the grip of dementia
happyfeet (831175) — 6/11/2016 @ 5:50 pmmoral *character* i mean
happyfeet (831175) — 6/11/2016 @ 5:50 pmThis
sounds like an exaggeration.

trumpyfeet (cebcc7) — 6/11/2016 @ 5:57 pmgeorge w the butcher bush
no no no happy the pseudo hip Violent Femmes referencing douche those butchered were just tatted up illiterates i think
Jack Klompus (dc65ef) — 6/11/2016 @ 6:52 pmI do think it’s kinda funny that a good rationale for voting Hillary is “what difference does it make?”
Dustin (2a8be7) — 6/11/2016 @ 7:16 pmlike supporting chris coons, he didn’t do any harm right?
narciso (732bc0) — 6/11/2016 @ 7:23 pmOw that was just plain mean, narciso. Don’t dredge up the past, look forward with all of ’em.
Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 6/11/2016 @ 7:48 pmOr, more accurately, “At this point what difference does it make”
Kevin M (25bbee) — 6/11/2016 @ 7:58 pmactually it does make a difference, otherwise e pleb nista, will be our fate,
narciso (732bc0) — 6/11/2016 @ 7:59 pmyes yes it probably makes a difference
happyfeet (831175) — 6/11/2016 @ 8:05 pmAnd, again, we have no power over who the Democrats put up. They have put up their usual Horror show.
But we DO have a choice on our side. If you want the votes you need to beat Hillary, PUT UP SOMEONE BETTER!!! Trump is toxic to many Republicans, many conservatives, all libertarians*, and nearly everyone in the middle.
Or, go on and do this thing, but stop complaining about not getting support. WE EFFING TOLD YOU YOU WOULD NOT GET IT.

Kevin M (25bbee) — 6/11/2016 @ 8:06 pm^except those rooting for GOP disaster
No, narciso, no!
That needed a trigger warning.
I googled e plebnista because I had not heard it, and found a bunch of SJW garbage tacked onto Wikipedia’s article on a Star Trek episode.
kishnevi (a1b7cb) — 6/11/2016 @ 8:10 pmyes yes we did have a choice we chose Mr. Donald Trump
he’s so good i love how he told mitt mitt not to worry about dragging his pervy butt to the convention
stay in utah and enjoy your pee-wee herman videos mitt!
we got this
happyfeet (831175) — 6/11/2016 @ 8:11 pmsorry about that, the omega glory’s rather byzantine analogy to the cold war, where the yangs, would forget the words of our founding document, seems apt,
narciso (732bc0) — 6/11/2016 @ 8:14 pmpikachu says “pervy” a lot and seems skeerd of plus huffy over lady parts
pretty sure he lives in a small apartment what with tinfoil over the windows and lots and lots of magazines
pretty sure what kind
at least xhe can use whatever bathroom xhe wants
mel gibson what with a blue face and scratchy skirt is yelly FREEDOM
let freedom ring from every cake shop and two holer
trumpyfeet (cebcc7) — 6/11/2016 @ 8:48 pmThis was probably more a case of Hillary inserting a spy on that board, rather than rewarding a campaign contributor.

No, that’s a good sign. It shows he is aware of things being said. You wouldn’t want someone who didn’t know about this issue, would you?
No, he didn’t. He’s not that sophisticated and up to date on things.
I think it is also true, though, that he couldn’t remember it. He probably ran across the term Fauxahontas, or somebody tried to tell it to him, but it was probably too hard for him to remember or maybe even to understand.
I think some other people have used “Pocahontas.” So he would have encountered both. We could check using Google.
Right now Elizabeth Warren” Pocahontas – this is after Donald Trump started popularizing that version though has 481,000 results (Google seems to think people are looking for images)
“elizabeth warren” Fauxahontas has only about 16,400 results and “elizabeth warren” Fauxcahontas 14,700.
Sammy Finkelman (be1e2f) — 6/13/2016 @ 8:58 pmWikileaks will publish some e-mails related to hillary says Julian Assange.
http://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/jun/12/wikileaks-to-publish-more-hillary-clinton-emails-julian-assange?CMP=share_btn_tw
But I wonder if they are Russian forgeries. I don’t know if Putin can play it straight, even a little bit. The e-mails will show somebody or other giving advice to Hillary predicted ISIS would take over Libya if Qaddafi was overthrown. Assange claims that’s actually happening now, which it isn’t quite. Sounds like Russian propaganda.
Maybe they could be genuine if Putin arranged for those e-mails to be sent in the first place.
