Convict the Stink!
Revenge is a dish best served up cold…..

I know it’s hard to understand.
But many Bernie supporters don’t like Hillary and Bill. And most Bernie supporters hate the Democratic party that now represents and caves into the Wall street elite. Like the Clintons.
Many of those same Bernie supporters would have loved Warren more – but she’s so friendly with the party elite, which is corrupt, that we get to thinking maybe she’s not as tough as we hope.
Bernie is an outsider- has been for years and years. Of course no one in her party likes him. Of course she doesn’t like him. None of the D elites like him.
Her saying it out loud only makes him more popular . Go ahead, DNC: rig the 16 primary , lose the 16 general and and challenge him to be cool and then do it twice At his age, with no money no party friends and no hope of the party elite getting behind him.
she couldn’t do it.
So it’s not revenge. It’s narcissistic hooey. Is she promoting a book? oh.. movie. got it.
"Her saying it out loud only makes him more popular"
Well, she did give Tulsi a bump in the polls by trashing her.
It’s a Jedi mind game being played on the Nutters. If Hillary doesn’t like him wouldn’t good ol’ Merikans like our resident troll be more likely to #FeelTheBern and vote for Bernie?
No, she genuinely hates him and the idea that he might be nominated. No jedi involved. Pure sith shit.
I was joking.
My sarcasm detector was broken some while ago.
Oh, grow up, Hillary. We fought like lions for you in08 and 16. And, yes, the snarly gnarly bernie crowd is both hateful and stupid at times — all times in the case of nina turner.
But if bernie is nominated, he’s the only alternative to four more years of fascism, which would wreck the federal courts for decades and forever destroy America’s role in the world.
My guide in these things is Winston Churchill. A lifelong anti-communist, he shared Britain modest resources with Josef Stalin’s USSR after Hitler invaded .. Challenged on his policy, he replied “If Hitler invaded Hell, I would at least make a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons!”
Never, ever Trump.
Agree, Voyageur. Hillary is helping no one, not even herself.
Bolton?
I think they're claiming to be working hard to not allow him to testify so that he will testify.
Who cares?
Smart leaders will ignore Bolton and let him crawl off to some academic role where wide eyed undergrads can learn about Kissinger, Agnew and Cheney and the Bushes and how great it couldda, wouldda been if only. Maybe one of them will have bone spurs or a guard /reserve connection that will allow them to advocate sending someone else to suffer and die in the American Dream they only read about.
Deleting duplicate.
But repeating
Grow up, Hillary!
That’s an order!
Grown ups have grudges, too.
But most of us weigh larger consequences, and agree with Lyndon Johnson (on J. Edgar Hoover):
Or agree with FDR
Clinton’s remark is amazingly blind to consequence — going after Bernie now means reminding many people why they voted for Bernie in 2016, and thus driving turnout for Bernie.
Regardless, I so want to be done with 2016. Hillary isn't helping with that.
Tom Perez has one job: to keep Hills quietly locked in a cave.
And, he is failing at that task.
Good point. This only two months from " I'm under enormous pressure to run ". Just. Stop.
I am confident that in her circles she does get pressure to run again.
Not so much from Bill or Chelsea – though maybe
but the rest of the deep pocket Ds she's around
Not from fake D's like me – what would be different ?
She lost to the same guy … what's changed?
Answer: Not much. Zuckerberg still sucks ass, and the cesspool that is Facebook will again have an outsized impact on the election. Maybe Hills would dust off the reset button and jazz things up by sending low level staffers to Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Totally out of the box thinking, I know…
And hardening them against an eventual non-Sanders nominee, as others in the party who share her feelings, or whose feelings hers serve, reinforce her message.
WOTD from Vox: "What we still haven't learned from Gamergate"
…
As with Twitter's "There's Always A Tweet" for that from Trump, now both William Barr and Alan Dershowitz have been caught doing 180 degree logical acrobatics in order to conjure up a defense for Trump from absolutely nothing.
Here's Dershowitz opinion in 1998:
Scholars scoff at Trump's defense arguments
And Mr. Bowman is not at all pleased that his scholarship was misrepresented by Trump's team.
But of course, their arguments aren't for public consumption as much as it is for an audience of 53 Senators:
Dershowitz is the Richard Dawkins of the celebrity lolyer biz. Why anyone ever pays any attention to anything he has to say is a mystery, but he's definitely a primo example of how easily trash rises to the top here in the good ol' U. S. of A.
lol Barr. You knew there'd be some real shit when he got the AG job and told an interviewer that his reputation didn't matter because he's old and already had his career. In that regard, he hasn't disappointed.
So many mean comments about Hillary. This is the same person you held up as a “guiding star” for America just three short years ago, the smartest woman in politics, etc etc. Now you are coming to the realization that she is mean, small and of little consequence, (everybody knows that) resulting in the election of Donald Trump. Welcome home.
Nice try, Pear, at grasping at straws. But, thanks for playing. There are nice parting gifts for you as you exit the building.
You say that like you think it's a bad thing. Trump is mean and small. But you seem to like him despite that. Or maybe because of that.
Actually, the American people voted for Hillary over the fascist Trump regime by a majority of three million votes. Only the corrupt relic of slavery known as the electoral college voted for fascism.
