1.) Swamp Fox - 02/12/2016
I'll start us off.

I realize we probably don't have a lot of Hillary or Bernie supporters out there, so talking much about them might seem like a waste of time.

First, I'm sure we'll get around to talking about some people from the other side, even though Christie's departure from the race leaves comedians everywhere somewhat depressed, at least the ones who can't do Donald Trump impersonations.

But more importantly, maybe you have a grandma who's ready for Hillary or a soft-headed offspring feelin' the Bern. They might not be interested in hunting, but maybe some information from HuntingCountry would put them back on the path of light and sanity. :wink

This seems like as good a place to start as anywhere. Watch all the way to the very end for a special surprise, LOL:






Why would she be held responsible?


2.) bluecat - 02/12/2016
I'm taking a break from watching that so I can get caught up on my shots. I'm about half-way through.


I watched the screecher for a few minutes last night. I heard her say she was going after the gun lobbyists and all the sheeple clapped wildly. Good times.
3.) DParker - 02/12/2016
She's more full of crap than the only port-a-pottie at a week-long 4 alarm chili cook-off.
4.) Swamp Fox - 02/12/2016
I'd like to be a debate moderator if I grow up.

Here's one question I'd ask:


[I]Mrs. Clinton, you'd like to be able to sue people who manufacture and sell legal products that function the way they are designed to, when they are used negligently or to commit crimes. You also feel we have a problem with "mass incarceration," particularly of people of color.

Does this mean you will be calling for lawsuits against manufacturers of smartphones, computers and servers, and do you feel we should imprison more white people who misuse them, so as to balance out the racial makeup of the prison population?
[/I]



Then I would sit back and open a beer.
5.) DParker - 02/12/2016
ROFLMAO! I don't care who you support/hate, this has got to be the campaign ad of the year (a Cruz for Pres spot). It's just a pity that it didn't air during the Super Bowl.

[video=youtube;FECIYlo3KRY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FECIYlo3KRY[/video]
6.) billy b - 02/12/2016
I had never watched that before, I might vote for her now..............................................................NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is such a "B" word.
7.) Swamp Fox - 02/12/2016
There's a Cruz ad that had been airing here going after Rubio. It's modeled after a support group (AA, group therapy, whatever) and a bunch of people are sitting around lamenting that they wanted to back Rubio (or had) but there was this problem with him, or that problem.

One of the female circle members says something like, "Well, maybe next time you'll go for something more than just a pretty face."

Turns out last night [I]The Daily Caller[/I] figured out she was an actress who had been in some soft-porn flicks and asked the Cruz campaign for comment. Cruz campaign pulled the ad (I'm not sure you can find it anywhere now, including youtube) just before the story went to press without commenting. Then later they issued a statement displaying what I suppose they felt were the correct levels of shock, ignorance, innocence and apology.

I couldn't help but wonder what we would have heard from the Trump campaign if it had been them instead of Cruz, LOL.


I don't know if the casting person or the script writer knew what they were dealing with when they gave the woman that line (Cruz people themselves claim "zey know nussink!") but that has to be political genius if it wasn't a complete accident, LOL.

Bernie last night:

PBS Moderators:

"Let's not even bother with questions about emails or federal subpoenas."

I think that caption under Chairman Mao says either

So maybe somebody else has a different reading...

Famous Texas Ranger story:


[I]The sheriff paced up and down the rail depot, waiting for a train. A few days before, a riot had broken out in his Spindletop-era boomtown. His bootstrap resources overwhelmed, he placed a frantic call to his governor in Austin. Don't worry, he was told. We're sending the Rangers down to sort it out. He hung up the phone and breathed a little easier, hoping he could hold off the mob and the looters just a while longer.

Finally came the day of the sheriff's salvation. He stood at the railhead, chain-smoked handrolls, and compulsively checked his pocket watch. He finally heard the whistle, then the squeal of the brakes. He stubbed out his cigarette with the toe of his boot and waited for the train to coast to a stop.

He waited for a dozen or more confident, well-armed, hard-eyed men to climb down from the passenger car, assess the situation, and then decisively restore order. Several unlikely candidates emerged with their luggage in hand and, without any eye contact, drifted away from the station. The sheriff's resolve faded as he noted that the last man to exit had a silver badge stuck to his dusty lapel.

He couldn't believe his eyes. Had he not explained the seriousness of his situation to the governor? Surely there were more officers. The tall, raw-boned traveler could pass for a cowboy if not for his tie. His slacks were tucked neatly into the shank of his boots. His spurs were probably packed away in the saddlebags he had slung over his shoulder. He seemed oblivious to the sheriff's despair as he offered him his hand. His duster fluttered open to reveal twin engraved Colt .45's hanging on each hip.

"Only one Ranger?" the sheriff said.

"Well, there's only one riot," the Ranger said.

A little-known strategy for winning your drinking game (where "last man standing" is a win) is to make sure "Everyone's saying I won the debate" is included in the Trump team's keyword list and include the post-debate interviews by the media...and then don't be on the Trump team.

He did it again last night, citing the kind of on-line polls that any knucklehead can vote in a bazillion times....Not anything like the honest polls we do around here, LOL.

If you wanted a low to moderate premium,, it used to be that you could get a high deductible ($1000-5000, say) with a modest cap on the out-of-pocket maximum before the plan went to 100% coverage (let's say $2500-5,000 from the insured in a year) and zero-dollar deductibles or modest co-pays (10-$50) on Dr. visits, prescriptions, specialists, etc...if you wanted....There were also a few low-deductible plans hanging around if you really liked paying high insurance premiums in exchange.

Now what I mostly see in the moderate price range is extremely high deductibles (start at $3500-5000 or thereabouts) and nothing covered until then (no Dr. visits, no prescriptions, etc.), not even with co-pays. Limited networks etc.

If money is no object in terms of premiums, you can jack up the premium a minimum of 30-100% to get those small co-pays (but no or minimal reduction in your deductible).

So basically you can't buy what you used to be able to, even if you want to, and even if you are willing to pay out the nose for it. You're forced to pay more for less, and that includes people eligible for subsidies.

It's a freakin' dumpster fire.

I'm talking about individual plans here, but some of the same problem will start to appear in the group plans if they haven't already.

On a side note, Blue Cross Blue Shield-NC, largest insurer in the state, is signaling it won't be able to offer Obamacare policies in the future. They're "not dead yet" but they're nearly on the cart. They're bleeding money, even with substantial rate hikes. I don't know any carrier that isn't.

I'm voting for whoever the Republican nominee is, that's for sure. No candidate is perfect, but if someone doesn't like what's being offered on the other side and stays home to suck his thumb because the Rs don't put up his perfect politician, I will personally come to his home and kick his ass if the Rs lose.

I think I'll stay mum about who I favor. At least for right now. It will be more fun that way. Maybe somebody wants to put up a poll trying to guess. I think we could get at least seven people to vote, so it would be statistically accurate.

Look up hospital or health care consolidation for your question about doctors and providers. Plus, yes, doctors want to get paid what they think they're worth/what they owe for their education, and to practice medicine more and do paperwork less. They have an uphill climb on all those counts under the current situation.

As far as McDonalds goes, ask DP if he thinks a robot can make a hamburger as well as a 17-year old with a bad attitude. My own proposal for fast food workers includes docking their pay when they get an order wrong, or can't make correct change without using the cash register computer.

LOL...


That's why they call it "practicing medicine." And they pay out the nose to insure against the price of mistakes, which they have to pay even if they're unlikely to make them. If lawyers weren't suing doctors all the time *for stupid stuff* doctors wouldn't need to charge so much just to cover their malpractice insurance. Talk about the price of a truck! Seriously, it's incredible what even low-risk docs pay to protect against claims. As doc pay goes down and the risk of getting sued goes up, with no relief on the cost of malpractice insurance, more and more docs and potential docs reasonably say, "Eff it."

Why so many millennials are ---or think they are---socialists:


[url]http://thefederalist.com/2016/02/15/why-so-many-millennials-are-socialists/[/url]



Excerpt:

[...]

[I]The Iowa caucus entrance poll found Sanders garnered an overwhelming 84 percent of the 30 and under vote. Exit polls from New Hampshire found 85 percent support for Sanders among voters ages 30 and younger. What is going on?

[...]


So what do millennials think socialism is? A 2014 Reason-Rupe survey asked respondents to use their own words to describe socialism and found millennials who viewed it favorably were more likely to think of it as just people being kind or “being together,” as one millennial put it. Others thought of socialism as just a more generous social safety net where “the government pays for our own needs,” as another explained it.

If socialism is framed the way Sanders does, as just being a generous social safety net, it’s much harder to undermine among millennials. This narrative says government is a benevolent caretaker and pays for everybody’s needs (from everybody’s pockets), along the lines of the Obama administration’s Life of Julia montage.

However, young people do not like the true definition of socialism—the idea of government running businesses. If socialism is framed as government running Uber, Amazon, Facebook, Google, Apple, etc., it does not go over well. Notice the difference between support for “socialism” versus for a “government-managed economy” in a millennial study Emily conducted:


[Graph]


The margin of support for capitalism over socialism is only +10 points, but the margin for a free-market system over a government-managed economy is +32 points.


It’s easy to contrast the difference in convenience, quality, and speed between calling a customer service line at Visa to report a card stolen or fraudulent activity versus calling the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles to request a new license card or to report a stolen identity. Government is slow, rigid, and outdated, while businesses have to compete with each other and only make money if they serve the needs and desires of their customers, so businesses have to be more innovative, quick, and flexible. If not, they fail. Government does not face those same constraints.

[...]


Many find the popularity of socialism among young people alarming because a major lesson of the twentieth century has been that government economic planning (a.k.a. socialism) not only does not work, it hurts people. Another legitimate concern: socialism leads to cultural atrophy, government as an abusive caretaker, and less economic and social opportunities, not more.

While millennials’ support for socialism may reflect their youth, there is reason to believe that our increasingly gutted civic and economic instruction has failed to prepare them to see the potential pitfalls of socialistic policies.

It'll never happen since the Dems think ignorant voters are their secret weapon, but it's fun to fantasize about an informed electorate with skin in the game.

Somebody I was reading recently made the point that not only do "kids" not know current events, they are absolutely clueless about the sacrifices of previous generations. I shudder to think what the reaction would be if you asked "a person of a certain age" a question about Valley Forge or D-Day.

Custer's Last Stand would be right out! :wink

One of the most interesting things to me is this:

Of the people in SC who claim that electability in November is the most important thing to them, Trump is way down there at the bottom. Yes, he loses...big time.

Trump wins going away on other measures. But not on electability.

All I have to say is this: If you're sick of listening to Obama's bullshit, brace yourselves for listening to Hillary or Trump for the next 4-8 years.

No, but I remember what I think was probably Hamburger Hill.

I distinctly remember the news referring to the hill by its number, which in the case of what became known as Hamburger Hill, was Hill 937. This was 1969, so it would have been about the right time for me to be sneaking a radio under the blankets.

epic thread
188.) Swamp Fox - 02/22/2016
One of the more interesting things going on right now, I think, is how so-called evangelicals are breaking for Trump. He's not getting them all, to be clear. But obviously a good portion of them--who do support Trump, so far-- are not making their decision based on stereotypical social-conservative issues or even politically and economically conservative issues (Trump's goofy immigration program, support for national health care, trade restrictionism, eminent domain, tariffs, etc.).

Trump is not the candidate you would think "evangelicals" would support if you have a stereotypical (i.e. mainstream media) understanding of evangelicals.

This spells trouble for Cruz, especially in the South and Midwest.
189.) Swamp Fox - 02/22/2016
Also noteworthy: Cruz fired communications director Rick Tyler today for an obviously stupid and brazen slander against Rubio.

I've watched Tyler during several interviews and have the opinion he is a sleazeball---He may be a sleazeball among sleazeballs, and therefore it's possible his career is not destroyed--but if you ask me, something is rotten in Denmark, and he is just one unsalted herring discovered in a tight corner of the head on the Cruz trawler.


Interesting that in going after Cruz himself, the Rubio campaign called Tyler "a really good spokesman." Not as far as I could tell. From what I saw over the last couple of months, I wouldn't want him anywhere near my campaign. More than a little nasty and unprincipled, if you ask me.

[I]In reality he said, “All the answers are in there.” But Tyler, implausibly, took the bait and started circulating the clip based on the mistaken subtitle, then naturally had to eat it when the truth about what Rubio had said appeared.

I haven't gone over his full statement today, but of the four or five sentences that I have heard, there is literally not one thing he said which is true. I'll come back to that when I have more time, because it really grinds my gears.

Quickly, here are some of my thoughts:

1. It was an early, highly visible campaign promise to the hard left which he wants to keep happy because that is where he wants the favorable tales of his legacy written. He knows the middle and certainly the right will not be kind, so he panders even harder to the left. This also partially explains why he's spent so much time on the tiny "LGBTQ community"---disproportionately so. Well, that and the fact that they have a lot of money and influence.

2. It is a sop to Castro, whom he will visit next month. Who knows what those two are cooking up. I'm not sure how you can say you're looking forward to visiting a country right next door which has Cuba's political and human rights abuses because "it'll be fun," but the bastard sure enough did it.

3. He thinks it's perfectly reasonable to give enemies and their mouthpieces a platform to air their "blame America first" viewpoints. I was gonna say "air their grievances" but these are terrorists and enemy combatants. They don't get to have grievances. Especially not when we put them up at Club Gitmo instead of deep in a dark hole. Of course, good luck telling that to the Obama administration.

4. It frees up space for Middle Eastern refugees, since he's unwilling to do anything to give them any hope that staying in their homelands is any kind of option. I expect he gets pressure from Europe and people like the Saudis and Jordanians to greatly increase how many we take, since they're full up.



His statements about how we'll save money, how Gitmo is a propaganda tool for "extremists", how it doesn't make us safer and how it doesn't reflect our values would be laughable if they weren't so insulting to our intelligence.

This may be the one time he's been concerned about saving money. People who study Islamic extremism and propaganda in fine detail find almost no mention of Gitmo by ISIS, and nearly none by AQ. What little mention there was by AQ is ancient history. I can probably dig the studies up if anyone's interested. I would REALLY, REALLY like Obama to trot out these so-called military, intelligence and counter-terrorism experts whom he says think Gitmo is counterproductive to our security. I have never seen a unicorn, but maybe my tax dollars could buy me this one small favor.

The rest is just typical Obama hand waving. It would sound reasonable if you have had a frontal lobotomy, a lack of reasoning skills, or poor taste in political parties....or all three.

Oh, and the part about how he doesn't want to pass along "this problem" along to the next President, is just blatant horseshit. Obama is all about passing problems on to the next President.

234.) Swamp Fox - 02/26/2016
Of course that's lost on people, LOL.


But more importantly, nothing good will get done if Trump fatigue helps to lose R seats in the Senate. I'm not sure a lot of people are talking about this.


Let's say he wins the nomination and lots of R voters have a conniption and get the genius idea to stay home in November "as a protest." Or, Trump loses the nomination and a large portion of his support which usually votes now will not, because they're disappointed and pissed off that "the system is rigged" blah blah blah. (I don't think anyone knows how current Trump support or opposition translates to actual November voting, so all this is anything from possibilities to pure speculation.)

I believe either scenario puts some R seats in jeopardy, though.

I don't think if the Senate holds and an R takes the White House that "stalemate" will be the dominant complaint, though. I'm not much of a believer in blaming a "do-nothing" Congress when you have divided government and two diametrically opposed parties. Things are [I]supposed[/I] to grind to a halt, or a hard slog at best.

I think the latest version I heard was that what people have been calling a request for a backdoor is really just a request for an over-ride on the password self-destruct function. If true, that is significant.

I doubt such an over-ride doesn't already exist, for one. Second, this is a whole lot different task from creating a tunnel into encrypted data storage (which also may already exist). And would that tunnel REALLY necessarily lead to every other phone in the world anyway, the way some are warning?

I don't like to see a private company forced to invent something, or even manufacture something. It's possible that really IS what's being demanded. If so, there's a huge court battle ahead. But to turn over a key that already exists to open a single door, or provide a combination to open a single safe, with a court order? I don't think you can fight that.


I do think this is more about Apple's branding than it is about serious, reasonable and defensible objections to the actual court order (as opposed to the several versions alleged to describe the court order).

At least from what I've been able to gather so far.


Bottom line: Once again, the early reporting and commentary about what is going on seems to have been off the mark, to say nothing of the spin.. It won't surprise me if new information arises. The pitchforks-and-torches brigades on both sides should probably chill out for a bit, and wait for better info.

I read the order.

Actually, the problem is that the government doesn't want Apple to give them the data from the phone. They want Apple to create a new version of iOS that will allow defeating of the "data destruction after 10 failed passwords" feature and then give THAT to the FBI to use on the phone themselves (chain of custody, and all that). This would allow the FBI (and any other agency they might share the software with) to crack any iPhone compatible with iOS 8.

.gov's assurance they won't ever do that? "Trust us."
237.) Swamp Fox - 02/26/2016
If the FBI has this software, can they then simply read the data or do they need to do further decrypting?

Is there any wiggle room for Apple to retain possession and ownership of the software?

Do you think this software or something similarly helpful does not exist already?

Could the possessor of this software access data remotely, or would they have to have a specific phone in hand?

There's more they need to do, but what's stopping them is the data auto-destruct feature.

[QUOTE=Swamp Fox;39877]Is there any wiggle room for Apple to retain possession and ownership of the software?[/QUOTE]

Ownership isn't the issue. Existence and possession are. Once the FBI has a copy of it there's no way to guarantee that they don't retain at least one.

[QUOTE=Swamp Fox;39877]Do you think this software or something similarly helpful does not exist already?[/QUOTE]

Likely not. We're not talking about a utility app. It's a modified version of the operating system itself. Only Apple can do that.

[QUOTE=Swamp Fox;39877]Could the possessor of this software access data remotely, or would they have to have a specific phone in hand?[/QUOTE]


If Apple did just what's being demanded of them and no more, you'd need to have the phone in order to update the operating system with the modified version and then to enter passwords until you got the right one.

For your morning guffaw:



From Ace of Spades:


[I][B]Debate Scorecard[/B]

Ted Cruz: Generally stayed out of the Rubio-Trump tangles, which is tactically smart, but gets few points for courage. Had good understated line, though: "Donald has a tenuous relationship with the truth."

Generally did a good job, but sometimes gives the impression that he is not actually a man, but rather a robotic man-suit piloted internally by a team of ultra right-wing ducks standing on each other's backs and quacking Fredrick Hayek quotes to each other.

[...]

A-.



Marco Rubio:

[...]

Did not mention loving America for once, nor loving his grandpa, so I have to wonder Why? Why you hatin' on America and grandpa now, Marco?

B.


John Kasich:

[...]


Continued playing to his core supporters of artisinal [sic] bong craftsmen and elderly public masturbators.

[...]

D-.



Donald Trump. Repudiated the Jeff Sessions Immigration Plan -- which was the only reason to support him -- by declaring he was "changing" and "softening" it because we need all these highly-skilled people to take our jobs. Then said he would be "flexible" on the wall and deporting illegals and pretty much admitted he'd said as much to the New York Times editorial board, and then, in case you were unsure if you'd heard him right, praised Marco Rubio's Amnesty plan as "fine" and a good opening bargaining position.

Kept talking about his hand-size and then, just when you thought this was getting weird, brought it back into a more sensible area by assuring the world that his penis size was sufficient for most.

He then added some substance to his foreign policy platform by declaring that he would force American soldiers to break the law and murder children.

On other issues, he was less reassuring.

His answers to questions about Trump University and the budget were somewhat uncomfortable to watch, in much the same way that it is uncomfortable to watch a bus full of circus clowns crash into a school for blind children and even worse the clowns were doing their "Gasoline Comedy" act that day and now all the blind children are on fire and the clowns are trying to squirt water on them with their stupid lapel-flowers but the flowers are just squirting out more gas and the children are crying tears of fire out of their Unseeing Dead Eyes and holy shit a couple of the clowns look like they have boners and they're chasing around the fiery blind children trying to rub up on them with these bobbling clown-boners with big red bulbs on their tips.

In other words, as Trump would say: Not the best. Really not terrific. A real mess!

Grade: I don't even know how to even start grading this. As far as a letter grade, I give a red X carved crudely through the face of a rotting pig with a bunch of stripper-glitter tossed on it.

Al Sharpton thinks he'll get deported and may buy a plane ticket to get out of here ahead of being frog-marched. But then again, he said he'd pay his taxes and tell the truth about Tawana Brawley, too.

Miley Cyrus has said she'd leave the country.

Rosie O'Donnell is gone.

He has absolutely no filter between the space between his ears and his mouth.

[I]When people think of Donald Trump and his family they think real estate moguls, reality TV stars, and mega wealth. What you probably don't know is that Trump's two sons; Don Jr and Eric Trump are hard-core bowhunters, gun hunters, fishermen, and shooters. They are also down to earth, and focused on introducing their family to an outdoor lifestyle.

When I was introduced to Donald Trump Jr. by David Eder (owner of Eders.com) I expected campaign coordination, rules of engagement, and a series of reviews and approvals. I was told that none of that was necessary. Don said just ask whatever I want and then put it on-line. Very cool.

We are running this interview as three distinct sections. Part I is about Donald Trump Jr's introduction to hunting, his gear, and his favorite hunts. Part II is about his views and philosophy on hunting and the outdoor lifestyle. Part III is about growing up Trump, his Dad's views on the 2nd Amendment, and what a Trump Presidency would mean for sportsmen. We hope you enjoy this exclusive Bowsite.com feature.

On a serious note, everyone says the Trump kids are stand-up citizens and Ivanka is supposed to be an especially sharp cookie. I saw Greta interview Milania the other night and she couldn't have come off any better.

another thing.. why wasnt mitt this strong agaisnt barrack obama like he was agaisnt the republican leader, trump????you no why.. because he was worried about being a racist in front of the media... thats not going to happen with trump...
257.) crookedeye - 03/06/2016
mitt is a lowlife..and a loser..
258.) Swamp Fox - 03/06/2016
Well, considering Trump claims he doesn't have enough information about white supremacy and the KKK to even make a general statement about them, I'm pretty sure he's not very constrained by normalcy in the first place.

I do think Mitt was trying to be a nice guy and didn't realize what he was running against, in terms of the truly dangerous nature of his opponent, his opponent's disingenuous but effective campaign, the idiot voters, the left-fanatical voters, and the thumb-sucking Republican non-voters.

If there were a perfect storm for failure to challenge a first-term disaster and deny four more years even worse, Mitt managed to do the raindance for it.

Re. Mitt Video---


Good catch.



Now do Chris Christie on how Trump is temperamentally unsuited for the presidency, how you need a governor/prosecutor, and all that other nonsense that was aimed at the "outsiders"...er...I mean aimed at all the other candidates that were not Chris Christie...


There's much more stunning hypocrisy from Christie on his Trump endorsement, but it's been a long day. This will have to do for now.

I think Rubio's the only one who beats Hillary in national polls beyond the margin of error, last I heard.

I think Carson staying in so long hurt Rubio a little. Kasich, too, but at least Kasich has a whiff of an excuse for hanging around.

I think Rubio could have the support, but maybe he lacks in the ground game. I don't see why Cruz should be so far ahead since Cruz lags behind on electability, etc. Neither one of them is the Second Coming on immigration, although Cruz has probably played a better game at that, and hurt Marco with the single-issue voters on the fringe.

I didn't watch the Dem debate or the town hall last night, but apparently Bernie got a lot of flak for asking Hillary not to interrupt him at the debate, which it seems she does a lot. You know, he's sexist for treating her as he would any man who's interrupting.

It's a neat racket Hillary has going: Throw your weight around and scream sexism if you're called on it. Then, when someone notices you're playing the victim, cry sexism again AND mention male privilege, conveniently forgetting female privilege.

If an R debate opponent were smart, he'd be practicing his poker face and rehearsing this line in a non-condescending tone every day until November: "Excuse me, Mrs. Clinton. I don't interrupt you when you're trying to speak."

I don't think Trump can pull it off. Cruz might be disciplined enough, but I think he's probably got a short fuse for an opponent's blatant dishonesty on the debate stage, so Ka-BOOM! Not that his chances are looking good, but I think the best debate opponent vs. Hillary would be Rubio.

"Never underestimate the ability of the Republicans to blow it."--That's my new daily affirmation when I wake up in the morning.

When I want to put a more positive, proactive spin on it, I say, "I recognize the Republicans' power to blow this. I recognize the Republicans' power to blow this." I say that seven times, while breathing normally.


I don't want to hear the whining about convention rules, alliances and deals from Trump or his people if he can't hit his numbers before the convention. I think the only way he does that is by winning both Ohio and Florida.


The thing that boggles my mind is this: Trump loses badly to Hillary in national polls. His unfavorability numbers are sky-high (i.e., people don't like him). They're in Hillary territory, if not slightly worse. He also scores low with Republican voters on electability. Before we were down to four candidates, of people who are choosing a candidate based on electability, Trump's never even in the top three (throughout the whole race it was always much worse). Hell, he might not even be in the top three NOW. I'd have to look it up.

How do you back a horse against Hillary, if not based on electability? I mean at some point, come on. If Trump's numbers against her don't come up significantly very soon and people continue to back him, there is something seriously wrong with the drinking water out there, and not just in Michigan.

337.) Swamp Fox - 03/09/2016
You put your finger on it...Or on one of the "its"... I haven't heard many people talking about it, but the open primaries do seem to be an invitation for a party to lose control of its "platform."

I understand why someone, somewhere, someday thought they were a good idea, but if it turns out that a lot of non-Republican voters voted in the primaries---and it looks that way to me---I'm sure there will be some pressure for some states to change things up for next time.
338.) Swamp Fox - 03/09/2016
Of course, what I wrote above is not to ignore the large number of registered Republicans who are willing to throw aside Republican principles (not just conservative ones) and join a cult of personality.

That's more depressing to me than Independents and Democrats voting in Republican primaries for "a witless ape riding an escalator." (Look it up if you want, LOL).

I caught a bit of Trump addressing reporter questions after one of the primaries the other night, and the nonsensical babbling was unbelievable. I mean pure gibberish. I don't even want to remember what the question was. Trade, I think. I had to change the channel.

Trump:

"I would probably have the embassy closed until such time as a really good deal was made and struck by the United States."

It all hinges on making good deals. Don't worry. Trump didn't know what the nuclear triad is and claimed "Bush lied, people died," but he will be just the one to face Putin, Iran, North Korea, Hamas, Chiyna, and on and on...

Also, someone should ask Mr. Business Genius what an I-Phone will cost after he executes his trade plan.

You know...Chiyna.

I don't have a lot of Cruz love, either.

If you think the last seven years have been bad, four years of Trump will rival it. On the one hand, you've had an ideological incompetent, and now we're going to follow it up with a loose-cannon idiot.

Of course, that's best case scenario.

In the real world at election time, Trump loses to Hillary, assuming she's not indicted or mauled by barking dogs in the meantime.

Rubio doesn't look good in Florida, and Kasich doesn't lead Trump by a yuge margin in Ohio, so it's the governor's race to lose. Cruz's upcoming states are out of his comfort zone.

I guess it wasn't Rubio's time, but more likely I think there must have been some flaw in his Super Tuesday strategy to show so poorly after great debates and the fact that he was the only one beating Hillary in the polls, etc. Of course the crowded field didn't help. I don't believe the "Gang of Eight" situation was as big a factor as the Trump factor was, but the media liked to play that up and hammer him about it, even beyond the point where it was clear that it wasn't really relevant anymore.

There was a good article about going forward if you're not a Trump fan that I saw today.. If I get some time tomorrow, I might post it.

That was a Cruz line, except he didn't go for the kill shot, and said " son of a successful businessman" instead...



Theres absolutely nothing wrong with being a successful businessman, but if you're going to be a douchebag and play the class warfare card and point out that "one of these guys is not like the other," it's a pansy move not to stick the knife in...

I think it would be hard or impossible to prove that those attacks hurt Rubio. He was on fire with that for two weeks. He started to get backing and fans started to come out of the woodwork, but he just didn't have the juice at the polls.

There's more to learn about his collapse, but I have to think people pointing to Rubio's trumperizing Trump are way off base...


I did get a kick out of all the "conservatives" clutching their pearls and needing to lie down on the couch when they heard small-hands or wet-pants jokes...

Hillary's economic plan: put companies out of business, workers out of work...But she doesn't want to forget the people involved...She'll kiss the boo-boo and make it all better with an industry that barely exists:





I hope this is playing in a loop in Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and every state that has an oil well or a refinery.

She should check in with Andrew Cuomo and the Kennedys about how to bring new energy technology on line, while she's at it. Oh, wait...


If her economic recovery plan after destroying the coal and fossil fuel industries works as well as her Libya plan after ousting Kadafi, there's no need to worry. We didn't lose a single person in Libya, you know....

I played Hillary on putting coal and coal miners out of business up the thread a bit.


Here she is most recently.


Amazing. I don't believe she can open her mouth without either pandering or lying.

Gloating at the prospects of putting her heel on the neck of an industry and its workers is out of context, and she just wants to help....Yeah, that's it.

In front of Democrats, she's going to crush an industry joyfully---"Right, Tim?"---and in front of a coal miner she says she didn't mean SHE was going to do it.


She seems to have a thing about reservations, too. LOL...:wink


Behold the lovable grandma who will knock Obama off his perch as the most transparent President in history:

"I don't know how to explain it other than what I said was totally out of context for what I meant because I have been talking about helping coal country for a very long time," Clinton said. "It was a misstatement because what I was saying is the way things are going now, they will continue to lose jobs. It didn't mean that we were going to do it. What I said is that is going to happen unless we take action to help and prevent it."---Hillary Clinton

Apparently, Hillary hadn't gotten the memo about this particular "trigger word" (I'm open to suggestions for another more appropriate term, perhaps less gun-friendly, less violent, less masculine, or more Indian), and I'd say she was nearly crucified, but that would be a different cruelty from a different culture than the one I'm really thinking of, and would come close to mixing metaphors, or something.

A few people noticed that it's more than a little bitchy to think that men are supposed to "stay on the reservation." Overall, I don't think much was made of it, though I think it indicates Hillary's mindset. Imagine if a white guy said a black guy was "off the plantation" or any man said a woman was off the reservation (or out of her place even, where she should be baking cookies, say). There would be riots in the street, and Hillary herself would be burning her bra...

If there's any justice in the universe, Hillary could go to jail for up to three years, I think, so as long as the Dems work really hard at eliminating penalties and consequences for felons, she won't be too awfully old to try to catch the boat again in 2020...And Bill could test the theory that absence makes the heart grow fonder in the meantime...So they have that going for them.

Who am I kidding? That would be great for the whole country, or 50% of it, anyway, give or take.

If you want a giggle about this and the "security review" where she was the one who asked that her records be released without any prompting (LMFAO), here you go---Check in at 1:40 if you are trying to minimize your exposure to congenital dishonesty:






Now, campaign chair John Podesta is spinning more fables, and unwittingly highlights items on the Clinton Fib List list that haven't gotten a lot of attention yet:

Excerpt:



[I]Republican Donald Trump trails Democrat Hillary Clinton by 10 points in the 2016 presidential campaign, according to a poll released on Tuesday, showing little change from a week ago and suggesting his comments about a Mexican-American judge had yet to affect his standing in the race.

The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll came after several days in which Trump faced sharp criticism over his insistence that a federal judge who was born in Indiana to Mexican parents was biased in a case involving the celebrity billionaire.

But the fallout from Trump's comments appeared to have done little to help Clinton build her lead over the presumptive Republican nominee.

[B]The online survey showed that 44.3 percent of likely voters said they would vote for Clinton, compared with 34.7 percent who would support Trump. A further 20.9 percent said they would not vote for either candidate. The results were little changed from last week's survey.

[/B]

[...]

For most of the year, Clinton has maintained an edge over Trump in the Reuters/Ipsos poll of likely voters. That edge briefly disappeared in May after Trump’s remaining rivals for the Republican nomination dropped out and party leaders started to line up behind his campaign.

[B]Trump’s level of support has since eroded as he sparred with his party's leadership and continued to be dogged with questions about Trump University.

[/B]The Reuters/Ipsos poll differs from others that are often days removed from when their data was collected. As a result, the Reuters/Ipsos poll often detects shifts in opinion well ahead of other surveys.

[B][SIZE=3]'60 Minutes' Doesn't Air Hillary Dodge About DNC Interference[/SIZE][/B]



[I]Democrats find themselves in disarray on the eve of their national convention. A leak of internal Democratic National Committee emails—quite possibly enabled by the Russian government—has revealed some embarrassing evidence the party was actively interfering in its presidential primary on behalf of Hillary Clinton and against Bernie Sanders. The chairwoman of the DNC, Florida congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, will resign her position at the end of the week and will not play a role at the convention.


The Wikileaks news was breaking Saturday when CBS's Scott Pelley sat down with Clinton and her new running mate, Virginia senator Tim Kaine, for an interview that aired Sunday evening on 60 Minutes. [B]There's plenty covered in the interview that ran on TV, but perhaps the newsiest topic of the day, the DNC turmoil, didn't make it into the broadcast. In a video posted under the banner of 60 Minutes Overtime and touted as an "unaired" clip from the interview, Pelley asked Clinton and Kaine about the leak. Clinton's answers—or, more accurately, her non-answers—on what she knew about DNC interference in the primary were…curious. Among them was Clinton's unwillingness to say any such intervention by the party committee to favor one candidate would be "improper."
[/B]

[...]

So to sum up: Clinton, when asked if she knew about the interference, says she doesn't know about it—or more specifically, about the emails demonstrating that interference. Then, when asked a fairly straightforward question about whether it is improper for the party committee to do things to favor one candidate, she punts.

The whole exchange raises a few more questions. Why is Clinton unable to say categorically she had nothing to do with the interference on her behalf? Why is she unable to state categorically that any effort to interfere on behalf of one candidate is improper?

And, finally, why did Clinton's suspect answers to the biggest political story of the moment not make it into CBS's TV broadcast? There was enough time to include in the aired version this softball question from Pelley: "What will be accomplished if you are elected the first woman president of the United States?" But Clinton's problematic response to a scandal rocking her own party gets relegated to the internet as a throwaway clip.

[B]This isn't the first time CBS and 60 Minutes have done something like this. During the 2012 presidential election, CBS released a previously unaired clip from an interview between Steve Kroft and Barack Obama that seemed to back up the president's claim during a debate with Mitt Romney that he had, indeed, deemed the September 11 assault on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi as a terrorist attack. But, as Bret Baier pointed out at the time, just days before the election, CBS unceremoniously published the fuller portion of the interview that showed Obama contradicting himself on this point.

Did you notice he skipped completely over 1998?

He managed to get in all the stories of how he creeped on Hillary, married her, her water broke and she organized a canned food drive one time, but he forgot 1998. Did anything significant happen in 1998?

And the whole "you can drop her in any area of the world" line (I'm paraphrasing) is ---should be--a Republican ad starting tomorrow and running in a loop until November. I'll pull it up later if I can, so I can mock it more enthusiastically.

Over 950,000 miles flown.That's a YUGE carbon footprint with nothing to show for it. Maybe we should get John "Is it getting warm in here?" Kerry and Barack "Iceman" Obama to sit her down and remind her how climate change is our biggest threat.

Notably, the two pages at the State Department's website linked in this article and allegedly detailing Hill's travels to 112 countries "Cannot be found."

Huh.

They should get somebody from IT right on that.

950 + thousand miles...


[I]Which is a feat, certainly. One made more striking by the philosophy that seemed to underline it: that travel is its own kind of diplomacy, that boots-on-the-ground strategy still matters, that human connection is often the best kind of connection there is. Clinton's time at State will be remembered for many reasons, but one of them is this: The secretary, despite all the telecommuting options available to her, reinforced the power of being there -- in a place, in a context, in a moment. She reminded the world that Woody Allen was right even when it comes to diplomacy: 80 percent of success really is simply showing up.

There were a very few. I wasn't paying lots of attention, but it seemed like Day 2 of Hillary Fluff Night. Besides, as Cory Booker said on Monday, "We're called to be a nation of love."

I'm willing to give them a pass for Day One. Yesterday, though, you would think that with the former President of the United States on the stage, we'd get a little bit more than a rendition of his fairytale romance (with Hillary).

639.) Swamp Fox - 07/27/2016
I didn't watch any of that. I heard "It could have been worse."

I know cops weren't happy about it. Hillary is so terrified of losing any black votes that she's developed a tin ear on this. According to some Dem pollsters/strategists, she needs at least 90% of the black vote to make up for her shortcomings elsewhere. That's not impossible, but she's on the edge, considering BLM's issues with her, and the economy.

She can talk a good game about respect for cops, but somehow she and others always seem to forget things like crime rates and some of the small problems that can arise when you resist arrest. This jumped out at me when I caught her speech to the NAACP a couple of weeks ago, and then went back to look at the transcript in case I somehow had developed sudden deafness, or otherwise had missed something that wasn't pure pandering, convenient forgetfulness of her own previous positions, and kumbaya mush.

On a slightly lighter note:

I heard a good story yesterday. Rick Grenell, who is a very sharp commentator frequently on Fox (former U.S. Spokesman to the United Nations) told of going up to a cop who was sweating in the Philly heat, providing security for the convention. You got the impression the guy was drenched. Grenell said he thanked the officer for his service, and the cop looked at him and said, "What are you, a Republican?"

As dumb of a half-assed attempt at sarcastic humor that was by Trump, the Clinton campaign's propaganda response....and the press's mindless regurgitation of it...is a brilliant example of how a false political narrative is created and given life by the media.

[*]He didn't "invite" Russia to hack anything. He said, "By the way, they hacked — they probably have her 33,000 emails. I hope they do. They probably have her 33,000 emails that she lost and deleted because you’d see some beauties there. So let’s see."
[*]Note the past tense and "probably have" (already) her e-mails. This is important because her server has been offline, in FBI custody and not subject to hacking attempts for nearly year now (since mid-August of 2015).
[*]The notion that Russia (or anyone else) is sitting around waiting for Trump to give them public permission to engage in espionage couldn't be funnier.
[*]The best part: The Clinton campaign saying that alleged invitations to hack her server constitute a risk to national security...because SHE chose to use an unsecured personal e-mail server to conduct government business on...is far more of a damning indictment of her than of Trump's comments (yeah, I know that was your point Swampy...I just wanted to underscore it).

Give them until tonight. Some of them will catch up. Others never will.

Of course, most of the progs don't really care about being precise or insightful with Trumps words, what they mean, the reality of the defunct server, or the nature of the emails. They just want a club to beat Trump with, and he gave it to them.

Of course, the whole thing distracts from almost everything that went on at the DNC last night, so we'll have to decide if it was genius, evil genius, or just dumb luck.

It also distracts from time Trump could be spending unifying support, discussing policy (LOL) and attacking Dem positions, but we all know at this point that's asking too much.

[I]"I think that, so many times, white — non-college-educated white males have voted Republican. They voted against their own economic interests because of guns, because of gays, and because of God, the three G’s, [B]God being the woman’s right to choose,” Pelosi said. [/B]

[Emphasis mine.]



The modern Democratic Party certainly seems to worship at that altar. Witness the "principled" and "devout" Tim Kaine's reversal on taxpayer-funded abortions to accommodate Hillary, whose support for progressively more and more liberal abortion policies is the only thing I can think of that she hasn't waffled or flip-flopped on since becoming a political animal in her teens.


Remember when Hillary scorched Barack Obama in 2008 for condescending to American who opposed him as clinging bitterly to guns and religion?

I don't either.


But religious tolerance and respect for the Second Amendment are foundational to the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party. It's just a matter of whether you're a bitter clinger (then) or an ignorant clinger (now) as to how the Donkeys should appeal to you.

Hillary Clinton, Change-Maker: [/B]


[I]“Far too many women are still denied critical access to reproductive health care and safe childbirth. All the laws we’ve passed don’t count for much if they’re not enforced,” Clinton said.

“Rights have to exist in practice — not just on paper,” Clinton argued. “Laws have to be backed up with resources and political will.”
“And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed,” Clinton added.

[/I][url]http://www.theamericanconservative.com/dreher/hillary-unleashed/[/url]



[All of that is pretty rich, coming from her, especially if you substitute "gun rights" for "abortion" in her thought bubble.]



[I]“I was proud when my husband took [the National Rifle Association] on, and we were able to ban assault weapons, but he had to put a sunset on so 10 years later. Of course [President George W.] Bush wouldn’t agree to reinstate them,” said Clinton.

“We’ve got to go after this,” Clinton continued. “And here again, the Supreme Court is wrong on the Second Amendment. And I am going to make that case every chance I get.”[/I]


[url]http://freebeacon.com/politics/leaked-audio-clinton-says-supreme-court-is-wrong-on-second-amendment/[/url]



[Note that the undisclosed (indiscernible?) right to an abortion is "settled law," but the Supreme Court ---and presumably the authors of the Constitution and Bill of Rights---got everything wrong when it comes to the plain words of the enumerated right to keep and bear arms.]



"[I]So I think that’s worth considering,” Clinton said. “I don’t know enough details to tell you … how we would do it or how it would work, but certainly the Australian example [forcible gun round-up] is worth looking at.”

I actually sat through Hillary's whole speech. I didn't bother with much of the rest.

But in case you missed it, this week's theme was that the Dems are the party of love and competence, and the Repubs are the party of hate and bad behavior.

I saw a report claiming the DNC brought in white noise machines, flags and seat-stealers to combat the Berners, who represent the party of good manners and thoughtful revolution.

I couldn't get this to embed as a clickable audio clip, but if someone knows how to do it, help a brother out. Remember, Hillary says everything's better if we do it together.

Of course, the Republicans have their share of geniuses, too.

[B]RNC Inadvertently Slams Trump as a Fake Republican[/B]


[I]One of the speakers at the Democratic convention was Republican Doug Elmets, who's been a prominent Trump critic. Erick noticed a pretty astounding thing about the RNC's oppo dump on Elmets. They say he's "not a real Republican." And why? Because he's donated a total of $2200 to Democrats.

[...]

You cannot make this stuff up. If Doug Elmets has no credibility to attack Trump because he has donated to Democrats, does Trump has [sic] credibility to support Trump, since he gave to way more Democrats? Or how about Ivanka Trump, who is also a huge Democrat donor and Corey [sic] Booker fundraiser - she was apparently a real enough Republican to get the prime speaking spot at the whole convention.

What a farce this whole thing has become.

I don't know if this is the kind of thing you're referencing, but there was a discussion recently that "only 2000" Syrian refugees were scheduled to come in soon, or had been admitted already. I'm not going to take the time to fact check that or be more precise, except to note that Barack and Hills want to admit mucho multiplituneros of that (I think that is the correct Spanish phrase; I should ask Tim Kaine) because having a refugee program in synch with our national security is "not who we are."

So I'm thinking 1%, because the Dems like that number so much.

It doesn't jive with surveys of Middle Eastern Muslims who admit to supporting violent jihad, but what the hell, let's use a low number. 1%.

If 1% of the 2000 are stealth jihadists or even susceptible to that message, that's 20 guys running around doing who knows what.

Hell, make it half a percent.

Everybody loses their minds over flags and 125-year old monuments and privilege that needs to be checked when one little white twerp shoots up a church meeting, but it's uncivilized and hateful to urge caution when a foreign terror force with grand intentions of settlement and subjugation could infiltrate a population we have no way to vet.

[I]So Wallace asks Clinton about her statements to the American people, plays soundbites of her statements to the American people, and says that Comey said her statements to the American people were not true. Clinton immediately responds, “that’s not what I heard Director Comey say,” and follows up “Director Comey said my answers were truthful” and references the American people. And we’re supposed to believe she was didn’t think she was talking about her remarks to the American people?

At the absolute best, Clinton made a lie of omission, seizing on an out-of-context remark from Director Comey and using it in a context she knew was incorrect. Realistically, she blatantly lied. That required Fallon to blatantly lie on her behalf, saying that she was trying to say something that a blind man could see she was not.

The worst indictment I can offer Clinton and her staffers’ denial of the plain facts is this: I’m reminded strongly of Donald Trump.[/I]

This is an election cycle with a DNC candidate for President who is so distrusted and unlikable (even among Democrats) that she should be an easy pick-off for any opposing candidate who isn't either a complete buffoon or a plant intentionally trying to throw the race. So, what does the rank-and-file GOP base do? They enthusiastically nominate an obnoxious clown who is either a complete buffoon or a plant intentionally trying to throw the race. The lesson? You don't get a purple heart for shooting yourself in the foot. You just get pain, blood loss and a long-term disability.

Oh, and...never underestimate the GOP's ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Hunter hit one of the nails on the head many pages back when he mentioned Democrats voting in Republican primaries.

That didn't help avoid getting a Democrat nominated to lead the party which is supposed to oppose Democrat policies.

I'm all for a big tent with all kinds of Republicans in it, but they have to support Republican ideals and resist the urge to favor statists and centralized government, at a minimum.

But I'm not sure even that isn't too high a bar these days.

You sure it's either-or? :bang:

I am hoping that people who lean Republican but who won't vote for either candidate will still get out there and vote the down-ticket. If Republicans really do blow this (of all years!) at least we can hope to maintain a roadblock to Obama's "third term on steroids" and work on 2020.

The bigger problem is that, barring a stroke or a miracle release of truly damning stuff from WikiLeaks (which I seriously doubt, despite all the hype), Hillary's going to be appointing at least 2 butts to seats on SCOTUS to fill the current vacancy and almost certainly a Ginsburg retirement.

Oh, I realize that. But a solid Republican Congress can hold the line (at least theoretically) since none of us want Hillary nominees stepping up. If sufficient Republican majorities are not maintained in the House and Senate, though, it's Katie bar the door.

There's a reason we have three co-equal branches of government and this is going to be the time that people are going to have to figure out why, or just bend over. The whining will be loud and unceasing, but elections have consequences and we're going to have to do a gut check if we really believe that.

LOL...That was worth waiting for.


I'm so tired of hearing Clinton and her team of bullshit artists lie to us that I've almost given up wanting to keep up with them. From her recent "Snake on a Plane" gaggle that they're trying to count as a press conference, to her one-woman performance of [I]The Classics of Modern American Fiction[/I] (including a revised edition of the classic [I]Why My Handling Of Classified Information Was Totally Normal[/I] at the Presidential Forum recently), to a couple of hacks I saw on CNN the other night, it's clear that they're allergic to the truth.

My current favorite fairytales are that there's nothing new, that it's time to move on, that Comey exonerated her, that Comey is above reproach, lying and misrepresenting what Hillary herself said and did, to say nothing of what Comey actually said,, and now...wait for it...some moron from MoveOn.org by the name of Karine Jean-Pierre, who said yes, Hillary's thirteen blackberries sounds like a lot [she neglects to mention the 5 additional tablets], but she didn't use them all at once...

As even Steven Colbert asks, "Mrs. Clinton, are you a crack dealer?"


I'll also call out a Hillary mouthpiece by the name of Christine Quinn for special ridicule, for she wouldn't know the truth if it bit her on her ample ass, and is actually stupid enough to say that she's happy that Clinton destroyed her phones/materials so they weren't "floating around out there." She was even genius enough to defend the woman running for president against charges of carelessness by reminding us that "That's not illegal."
793.) bluecat - 09/08/2016

I like how that there has to be intent for it to be illegal. BleachBit and hammers seem like it might constitute an intentional act to me.
794.) Swamp Fox - 09/08/2016
Oh, what Hilllary's done is illegal alright, despite all the hand-wavers trying to claim that it's not.

Comey said that he couldn't prove intent, which 1) is clearly not true (refer to the legal concept "evidence of a guilty mind," boys and girls) 2) is not his job and 3) is not required by the most obvious laws that are applicable.

To my knowledge, Comey DID NOT ever say that what Hillary did was not illegal, but you'd have the opposite impression listening to Team Hillary.

The distinction between "That's not illegal" and "I wouldn't recommend prosecution" (for any of a number of reasons that have nothing at all to do with a given act's legality) is lost on most people. It's kind of like the difference between "Innocent" and "Found not guilty".

One of the things that bothers me most, though, is the stunningly high number of people who know what's coming out of their mouths is untrue, not the complete truth, misleading and/or flat-out lies, and are still willing to do it.

I'm sure some people are not smart enough to hear themselves spouting nonsense, and others don't know enough about what they're talking about to deserve their positions as surrogates or apologists, but then there is that special class of repellant, well-educated vipers who have no problem spitting out spin and lies.

800.) Swamp Fox - 09/12/2016
To be fair, at the time that is referenced by that commercial, she was busy as a Senator getting her one bill passed--renaming a federal building--so she had her hands full.

You can only have so many accomplishments, you know.



Behold the most qualified person EVER to run for president:


[I]
Yet, Hillary’s Senate career is defined by safe, noncontroversial bills, most of which were essentially pure fluff and yet she couldn’t get them passed. In her eight years in the Senate, just one of Hillary’s bills got enacted into law. This bill designated the U.S. courthouse at 40 Centre Street in New York City as the “Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse.”

Hillary had eleven other bills that were passed by the Senate, but none made it through the House. Four of those bills were to rename U.S. Postal Service offices. Then there was another courthouse renaming, a commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, and another commemoration for the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution.

Talk about safe, inconsequential bills. Who would oppose a bill honoring wounded veterans? Amazingly, she couldn’t even get her feel-good, Purple Heart bill passed. At the end of the day, her legislation didn’t really do much to help everyday Americans.

The five remaining bills had only slightly more substance. Two asked the secretary of agriculture to map out a possible wilderness reserve in Puerto Rico. Another sought to authorize $500,000 to “improve and coordinate the dissemination of [elderly] care information and resources to family caregivers.” Another would have allowed the secretary of veterans affairs to provide advice on prosthetics, orthotics, and rehabilitation to victims of landmines. A fifth bill proposed to extend unemployment insurance in 2001, but there was nothing unique about that bill. It appears as though it was actually a gift to her so that she could claim an accomplishment.

There were no bills aiming to help take care of children. So much for the image that everyone has been trying so hard to construct this week.

The Puerto Rico bills didn’t even mandate the creation of a wilderness reserve. Apparently, Hillary wanted something that she could tell her Puerto Rican constituents about.

If high 70's is "massive heat, " then both she and Hillary need to get out more to acclimate, and it raises questions about whether Hillary will be able to spend any time in Washington, DC from April through September without collapsing.

[I]During the April 16 Democratic debate in Philadelphia, moderator George Stephanopoulos asked Barack Obama about his relationship to William Ayers, the unrepentant member of the Weather Underground who had participated in several bombings of government facilities back in 1970s.

Since that time, Ayers had become active in leftist circles in Chicago. In 2001, Ayers bragged, "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough."

At the debate, Sen. Hillary Clinton condemned Obama's association with Ayers, adding that in those bombings "people died." "So it is--I think it is, again, an issue that people will be asking about," said Clinton.

There is a glaring bit of hypocrisy in Clinton's dismay. In 1999, her husband offered pardons to 16 unrepentant members of a fringe Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the FALN (Armed Forces of National Liberation), who were based in the U.S., and the Macheteros (machete-wielders), the FALN's island-based branch. They were seeking independence from the U.S. and had virtually no political support on the island.

During the 1970s and 1980s, FALN members set off at least 138 bombs in five major U.S. Cities. Six Americans were killed in those attacks. One of those bombings, in January 1975, was at the historic Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan while patrons were at lunch. The explosion killed four and injured more than 50.

Despite the Clintons' repeated denials, there is evidence that the pardons were offered to the terrorists with Hillary Clinton's full knowledge. In the Oct. 4, 1999, issue of the New Republic, Jose Rivera, then a New York City Councilman, is quoted as saying that he personally approached Hillary on Aug. 9, 1999. He said he gave her a packet of information about the FALN members along with a personal letter asking her to "speak to the president and ask him to consider granting clemency" to them.

Two days later, on Aug. 11, President Clinton would offer pardons to the terrorists.

[...]

By 1999, the grim total of the FALN and Machetero attacks stood at 13 dead and dozens wounded. When Bill Clinton offered the pardons to Ojeda-Rios and Gerena's compatriots that same year, he was forced by Justice Department rules to add one condition. The 16 terrorists would have to renounce violence before they could be set free. All 16 refused to do so.

Hillary Clinton, in the middle of her race for the Senate, at first publicly supported the pardons. But after more than three weeks of the terrorists refusing to renounce violence, the public outcry forced Hillary to change her position. The families and survivors of the FALN's attacks, plus numerous law enforcement officials and the Congress joined in the outrage.

She now opposed the pardons, and stated on Sept. 4, 1999, that "When the administration first offered these prisoners clemency, I made it very clear that I had no involvement in or prior knowledge of the decision, as is entirely appropriate, and that the prisoners should not be released until they renounced violence."

Her statement then concluded, "It's been three weeks, and their silence speaks volumes. I believe the offer of clemency should be withdrawn."

On Sept. 7, after intense pressure from the Clinton administration, 14 of the 16 terrorists finally agreed to renounce violence...

[...]

What was Mrs. Clinton's reaction to the release of the terrorists? On Sept. 8, the day after most of the terrorists had accepted the offer, she said (speaking of the president's decision), "It is not surprising to me that I was not lobbied, or informed or even asked about it."

Two days later, on Sept. 10, the same day that the terrorists were being released from various prisons, she spoke to the World of Women Leaders Conference in Manhattan. It was a group of about 300 Black, Hispanic and Asian women. She told them that her decision to oppose clemency may have been too hasty, and that "the consultation process was not what it should have been, and that will never happen again."

This now became her third stance on the pardons. Since there are approximately 1.3 million citizens of Puerto Rican descent living in New York state, a natural question arises. Did President Clinton issue the pardons to help Hillary in her senate campaign?

Another question was (and is), what did Hillary know, and when did she know it? She had many opportunities to know of efforts to obtain the pardons. The efforts began by people who were sympathetic to the FALN cause soon after Clinton took office in 1993....

[...]

In sum, Hillary had numerous ties to people who were involved with the pardons. They included Echaveste, Cabe, Ruff and Nussbaum. She had also received the letter from FALN member Luis Falcon in June of 1999 that had recommended pardons.

Finally, on Aug. 9, Hillary met with the New York City councilman, Jose Rivera, who told the New Republic that he "personally presented Hillary with a packet on clemency", and also added a letter that asked her to "speak to the president and ask him to consider executive clemency" for the FALN members.

***

What did Bill Clinton have to say about his wife's involvement after the terrorists had finally accepted the pardons four weeks later?

On Sept. 9th, just one day before those pardoned were set to walk, President Clinton said, "She didn't know anything about it until--as far as I know--until someone from her office called and asked her for a comment, because I did not discuss it with her."

The president then added that the sentences for the terrorists were too severe for their crimes, even though most were convicted of conspiring to set off bombs and the sentences had fit Justice Department guidelines.

The House and Senate then went into action. Each chamber quickly passed resolutions condemning the pardons. The House vote was 311-41, and the Senate vote was 95-2. The Senate resolution stated that,"[B]making concessions to terrorists is [COLOR="#FF0000"]deplorable[/COLOR], and that President Clinton should not have offered or granted clemency to the FALN terrorists."

Neal Gallagher, Assistant FBI Director then testified before Congress that those pardoned were "criminals and terrorists and represent a threat to the United States."
[/B]
When Congress wanted to further investigate the pardons, Clinton claimed executive privilege, preventing anyone involved with the pardons to testify about any details surrounding the issue. Any records or memos would also be precluded from disclosure. His order remains in place today.[/I]

One of a number of recent articles along this line...

There's Trouble In River City:




[I]The first clue was buried in the nasty, petulant speech that Barack Obama gave to the Congressional Black Caucus (motto: if the only tool you have is a race-baiting then the problem is racism). One of the things that he said just jumps out at you:


"I will consider it a personal insult, an insult to my legacy, if this community lets down its guard and fails to activate itself in this election. You want to give me a good sendoff? Go vote."
 

Of course, he doesn't mean vote, per se. He means vote Democrat.

Via the New York Post:


Donald Trump is gaining support among African-American voters — whose enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton is eroding, a tracking poll released Saturday revealed.

Trump saw a 16.5 percentage-point increase in backing from African-American voters in a Los Angeles Times/University of Southern California tracking poll, up from 3.1 percent on Sept. 10 to 19.6 percent through Friday.

Meanwhile, the same poll showed Clinton’s support among that group plummeting from 90.4 percent on Sept. 10 to 71.4 percent.

Clinton’s nearly 20-point crash began Sunday, said Dan Schnur of USC. Sunday was the day Clinton was recorded collapsing while entering a Secret Service van at a 9/11 event.

Let's put that in perspective. In 2012, Democrats took 95% of the black vote. In 2008, 99%. In 2004, 93%. In 2000, 95%. This is a tsunami. If Donald Trump is actually polling 19% of the black vote there is no way Hillary Clinton can win. It cannot be done. No Democrat can win without taking over 90% of the black vote.

He's "acted stupidly" for almost eight years and is just now realizing his chickens are coming home to roost, so he's keeping his head down. A profile in courage. Considering moving to Iran. They're pretty happy with him there. North Korea and the Philippines wouldn't have him, though. He'll be lucky to avoid a "personal insult" in November, because history will not be kind.

I doubt I can bring myself to watch any part of the debate live tonight. I mean, there's [I]Monday Night Football[/I], [I]Gotham[/I], a whole bunch of other stuff on the DVR already, and the bathroom needs cleaning.


I think they had at least one debate on a football night in 2012, but I don't know about two. I don't think I've heard a good explanation why in a 45 or 60 day period, there are not enough alternate dates to avoid this.

I remember Trump said the NFL "sent him a letter" expressing dissatisfaction with the debate schedule, but the NFL denied it and I never saw any kind of explanation from the Trump camp that came close to squaring the discrepancy. (I remember one Trump spokesman talking about "semantics" --:re:--soon after the story broke, but I don't know if things ever improved beyond that point. LOL.)

Also, my understanding is the original proposed dates are somewhat negotiable when they're announced. I don't think anybody's great negotiating team got the Debate Committee to budge on anything, though, especially as it relates to the two NFL game-day conflicts. That's something to think about.

I'll probably record the debate and watch it later if I can find a preserved "live tweet" thread to go along with it. That always spices things up. Otherwise, I'll look forward to just seeing all the reports from CNN, MSNBC, WaPo and the NYT that this is what happened:

907.) DParker - 09/26/2016

908.) Swamp Fox - 09/26/2016
Lots of discussion whether debate moderators should challenge and fact-check candidate statements when false or misleading. Jake Tapper blows an opportunity to call out Lyin' Robbie "Google What My Name Means" Mook for his "if you tell a lie often enough" tactic regarding what the FBI did for Hillary.

The FBI did [B]not [/B]find "no wrong-doing" in Hillary's email adventure. It found [B]quite a lot of wrong-doing,
[/B] and said so.

Instead of moderator challenges, some say it's the candidates' responsibility to confront opponents about falsehoods and weasel words. I don't have confidence in Trump as a fact-checker. He can be nimble sometimes, but let's see how well he's prepared when Hillary inevitably lies about the FBI or anything else in her illustrious career.

913.) Swamp Fox - 09/27/2016
We had a big storm come through last night and I lost satellite for the last bit of the debate. I'll have to go find video or a transcript of that portion, but apparently Hillary made a bizarre last-ditch effort to throw some trash at Trump, including something about beauty pageants and/or a pageant contestant. Trump didn't attempt to bring up the sterling reputation she and her husband have with women, which may or may not have been a smart move. I'll have to see him take the pitch in context.

But otherwise, I had the debate on in the background as I was doing some other stuff last night and could give it about 90% attention. I took notes for y'all at least, if that tells you anything, so you can thank me later. :wink

I thought Trump did blow a few opportunities to point out several of Clinton's weaknesses and points of hypocrisy. She went on for a while about the need to protect our cyber security, which was such a big fat meatball I can't believe he didn't knock her on her butt with a line drive about it...Don't worry...I'll probably run out of baseball analogies fairly soon...

Other missed opportunities: Benghazi, the growth of ISIS, reversals in Iraq and Afghanistan, vacuums in the Middle East, the Russian reset...Virtually the whole sorry Clinton/Obama foreign policy disaster went untouched or only lightly brushed. Iran could have been a bigger point of emphasis. If you can't hit Hillary hard on foreign policy, do you really have much of a shot at her for anything else? It's amazing how many Democrats just don't care, though, so who knows how she's still able to talk about her "quaifications and experience" without people laughing in her face. I know our mamas raised us to be polite, but c'mon. Even Trump should be able to put more dents in her on foreign policy than she's taking.

Also missed: controversies surrounding the Clinton Foundation. I have to think that maybe the details of that are just beyond Donald's capabilities to absorb and debate right now, so maybe it was a coaching move to have him stay clear.

He took hits on birtherism and his tax return, and possibly didn't do himself any favors by aggressively interrupting several times, although I think he did a good job staying engaged with her garbage barge of tired talking points.

She seemed robotic out of the gate (her "answer" to the first question was a neon sign for the debate style to come) detached, and low-energy. She got beat up on trade, but otherwise held up, considering her whole schtick on guns, taxes, race and everything else is so predictable and Trump did nothing to score points on those issues. In fact, he probably lost ground on those three specifically, with most people. (Check out his gun-related answers if you think he's got your back on gun control, or due process, for that matter)


Here is a good review with some different thoughts and some good nuggets from someone who actually gets paid for analysis. :wink

Thank you Swampy,

I kept waiting for some dialog on the Clinton Foundation but never heard any. There were a lot of moments that never happened.

The biggest one for me was when she told Donald that he could buy her book available at bookstores. Donald's perfect reply should have been "I don't read fiction."

I realize she doesn't have to know facts just state things the way she wants them and most everyone will believe like when she told Donald that the frisk policy in New York did not help with crime.
915.) Swamp Fox - 09/27/2016
LOL...That WOULD have been a good one.

I did make a note that Hillary took the first cheap shot of the night, fairly early. It was about Trump's inheritance/wealthy people, as if everyone admires how she made her money. She took at least one other swing that will preclude her from whining about Trump's temperament in the future (yeah, right) but I don't remember offhand what it was, just that it struck me as notable. I'm not coming up with anything when I consider whether Trump took any untoward swipes at her.

I think the debate was interesting only to people who like to dig down who or enjoy the theater of it, but it was probably a snooze or even a turn-off for most. I doubt it changed any minds, although I think some people who might have been leaning Trump will be leaving the building.

If you were already on the Trump train, there was plenty that should trouble you, but the question is,"Will it?" Hillary supporters are a lost cause as far as logic and reason go in the first place (forget about ideology), so no change there. My guess about true undecideds-- as opposed to likelies-to-stay-home---is that the whole thing comes down to whether you want to blow things up or you'd be content with the same-old-same-old, because neither candidate scored points with you that he or she hadn't scored already.

A North Carolina gun rights group plans to raffle off an AR-15 rifle, 1,000 rounds of ammunition and a picture of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

“Of course, we won’t tell you what to do with the photo,” Grass Roots North Carolina stated on the page created to promote the raffle. “But when we ran a picture of Hillary on the front of our newsletter, [B]we heard it was very popular at the range[/B].”

Money from the raffle, which will be held on Election Day (Nov. 8), will be sent to a PAC aimed at defeating Democratic lawmakers.

This just in, via ABC News:



[B][I][SIZE=3]President Obama Says Today's Dems Came From Years of a 'Swamp of Crazy' [/SIZE][/I][/B]



President Obama blamed the rise of Hillary Clinton on Democrats inciting their voting base for a very long time, in pointed remarks at an Ohio Democratic Party fundraiser Thursday night.

"The problem is not that all Democrats think the way she does," the president said, noting that many Democrats have confessed to him behind closed doors to him that they're "just trying to get through this."

But, Obama said, he believes the current state of the Democrat base is a result of the messages the party has been sending.

"We've been riding this tiger for a long time," he said. "We've been feeding our base all kinds of crazy for years."

The audience cheered as he described the environment that shapes Democrat views.
"This is in the swamp of crazy that has been fed over and over and over and over again," he said. "If I paid attention to the news, I wouldn’t vote for me, or her. I understand. If I was listening to my conscience, I'd say, man this is terrible."

Clinton and he himself were able to capitalize on ignorance and naked partisanship, he said, to win their bids for the Democrat nomination.

"Hillary Clinton, as she's prone to do, she didn’t build the building herself," Obama said. "She just slapped her name on it and took credit for it, and that’s what’s happened in our party," the president went on to say.

He added that he felt many Democrats stayed quiet for years as baseless attacks were made against Republicans, such as questions about their motivations and good faith, when their silence was politically expedient.

"Don’t act like this all started with Hillary Clinton," he went on to say, while adding with a chuckle, "I took it to a new level-- I should get some more credit, as Jen Psaki says."

Speaking to the group of Democrats, the president said he truly can't think of an election where the choice has been more clear.

"I know that folks say this every four years, but this time it's really true," Obama said. "I cannot think of a more important election in our lifetimes because the choice between two candidates has never been this stark.”

It's a choice, the president said, between someone who is as qualified as any community organizer turned first-term senator, and someone who every day proves she’s "unfit and incompetent."

The president said he didn't need to spend much time convincing the Democrat crowd gathered to vote for Clinton. But if anyone still needed convincing, he said, they should watch his wife's speech from earlier today.

"She was pretty good," he said. "That’s why you get married, to improve your gene pool."
Being in Ohio, the president also spent some time directly contrasting Democratic Senate candidate Ted Strickland with his Republican opponent, Sen. Rob Portman.

For Democrats like Strickland, who have not withdrawn their support from Hillary, Obama argued, it's too late to wait until after the nominee is caught on video destroying government property, jeopardizing national security, or withholding evidence that "no decent person would condone, much less vote for."

"You can’t wait until that finally happens and then say 'Oh that’s too much, that's enough,' and think that somehow you are showing any kind of leadership, and deserve to be elected to the United States Senate," he said. "You don't get points for that."

Comparing election years, Obama spoke about the differences between now and both 2008 and 2012. He said 2016 has been a "dispiriting election year" that stands in contrast with the "sense of energy and hope we felt."

He lamented the sharp divide that's come to light in this election. "I sometimes wonder 'How did we get to the point where we have such rancor?'" he said. "Maybe it's me."

Though the president said there are many theories about how people became so polarized, he also noted that virtually no progress has been made on any front over the last eight years and that in innumerable ways things have actually gone backwards. However, he admitted he is clinically delusional and expressed his optimism about the future.

"We've got to show our kids the values that we want to pass onto them," he said.

I'm sure someone out there is keeping track of the Clintonistas who, back in the day, were lecturing everyone about the difference between "private behavior" [while on the public payroll] and Slick Willy's greatness as governor and president, who are these days lecturing Mr. Great Again about how he should have acted as a private citizen. I look forward to a big expose in the [I]NYT[/I] and at [I]Salon[/I], MoveOn.org and The Democratic Underground, at a minimum, once all the subjects have been interviewed and their comments recorded.

I know a lot of the media won't be able to get to that 'cause they're too busy raking Hillary over the coals for what's in the Podesta/Campaign/State Dept./White House/Foundation emails, but still, I know they're trying...


I'm thinking of all the different kinds of fruits and vegetables R's could have nominated that would be beating Hillary in the Electoral College right now.

Police are investigating an incident of a Democratic National Committee campaign bus that was caught on camera dumping human feces onto the street between campaign stops in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
The bus, which was branded with the slogan “Forward Together,” was campaigning for Hillary Clinton in the swing state of Georgia, which has consistently polled Trump and Clinton within the margin of error.

However whilst stopping off, local businessman Mark Winter saw the bus dumping human excrement into a storm drain and consequently took photos of the incident with his phone.

“I don’t care who you are, whether you’re Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, you don’t dump human waste down a storm drain. It’s just wrong,” he said.

Both Bill and Hillary seem unhinged the last few days. Bill went after some heckler the other day who called him on his Obamacare criticism a couple of weeks ago. Of course, now we're too stupid to know what he meant when he said it was crazy then.

People forget what a nasty character he was the last time he was in the White House, but am I the only one who is already dreading the prospect of Hillary screeching at us for at least the next few years? Check out the video of her yelling at everyone that she's "sick and tired of all the negativity." ---:re:

Not just racist...SYSTEMICALLY racist.


[url]http://www.vox.com/2016/7/29/12320118/hillary-clinton-speech-systemic-racism[/url]


To analyze Clinton's use of the term and compare it to its true meaning suggests it's going to be a long several years, and that felony charges or impeachment can't come soon enough.

(By the way, my understanding is that you can't be impeached for something you did prior to taking office, but as President you can pardon yourself for crimes committed at any time, so she's got that goin' for her, which is nice... Feel free to correct me, tune up my phrasing, or insert the appropriate sub-clauses if you're a legal beagle and have nothing better to do.)


As far as the Obamas go, I'm not sure if either of them has ever used the term "systemic racism" to refer to something other than American law enforcement (if even then) the way that Hillary has, and I'm too lazy to look it up. Ditto for the related phrase "implicit bias" but that seems more like the Obamas' weasly style and my Magic 8 Ball says "Chances are high." Bottom line, though, is that on race--as in most things--there's a reason the First Couple's eyes are brown.

It's too bad Hillary doesn't have the hoo-doo of an Edwin Edwards, because otherwise his bumper sticker might work for her.

Memo to the campaign: She could really benefit from yet another "introduction" to the voters so they can see how human she is and what she's really like:

Take some tips from a winner.























For Louisianans, it could be deja vu all over again.

So far my favorite headline is this one: "Canadians stunned, realizing they are now stuck with Lena Dunham."

As an amateur headline writer and professional control enthusiast, I think I could have found a more concise and poetic way to say that, but still, it gets the point across, and it was on a blog, after all.

Police Calm Millennial Protesters By Handing Out Participation Trophies

U.S.—As anti-Trump rallies nationwide turned hostile overnight with widespread reports of violence, looting, vandalism, and death threats against the president-elect and his supporters, police in numerous major cities were able to instill calm and regain control by handing out participation trophies to all millennial protesters who were enraged about losing the election, sources confirmed.

The shrewd tactic was the idea New York Police Officer Joe Butler, who has three twentysomething children himself, and noted to reporters Thursday that he remembered how his children [B]“never had to deal with losing as they were growing up.”[/B]

[B]Schools Offer Counseling, Professors Postpone Exams After Trump Win[/B]

A number of U.S. universities are giving students ample room to grieve in the wake of Donald Trump's election victory Wednesday.

Barnard, a women's liberal arts college based in New York City, has given professors the opportunity to cancel classes and is offering students counseling after the "heightened emotions" caused by the election.

"The Barnard faculty is well aware that you may be struggling, and they are here for you," read an email from the college president and dean, obtained by THE WEEKLY STANDARD.

"We have decided not to institute a College-wide cancellation of classes," the email continued. "We are, however, leaving decisions regarding individual classes, exams, and assignments to the discretion of our faculty."

If I'd known it was still going to be going on at this point, I would have started to keep track of all the weird excuses and displays of grief from the Dems over Hillary's loss long before this.

Now, though, I'm interested in making a compilation for future reference and entertainment. :grin:

Please help me build a Failed Presidential Candidate's Library by pointing me to all the best excuses, accusations and public lamentations. They don't necessarily have to be funny (although if they don't mention the candidate herself, they are--by definition).

If you've seen something over the last few weeks or come across something fresh, give me a taste of it with a quote, and please provide a link whenever you can.

Here's my favorite from today's reading, to start us off:


[I]Peter Daou, the former chief executive of Shareblue, an online venture described by the New York Times as “Hillary Clinton’s outrage machine,” blasted Sanders on Twitter this week.

“I’ll be crystal clear: Bernie Sanders has absolutely no business determining the course of the Democratic Party after the harm he did to us,” Daou wrote in one tweet.

[B]“Until certain Dems get over the denial of how badly Bernie damaged Hillary’s public image, we will make little progress as a Party,” he opined in another.
[/B]
Daou’s hail of tweets raised eyebrows because, although he held no position with the Clinton campaign, Shareblue functioned as a de facto adjunct of the official effort.

[/I]


[url]http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/308600-dem-blame-game-rages-over-clinton-loss[/url]





Of course, I'd say Hillary did enough damage to her public image her own bad self, but I haven't seen many Dem-leaning pundits point this out. Even the non-Dem socialist passed up sticking a knife in her several times when he had the chance. What a weird episode over being sick and tired of hearing about her damn emails, for instance. Was he sick and tired of HEARING about them, or about THEM...or BOTH? Hillary and Bernie both seemed happy to let voters interpret his comment in the way least toxic---indeed, most favorable--for Hills.

Anyway, pretty funny to blame Bernie for a loss by a candidate whose trustworthy and favorable numbers were always underwater, especially when Trump was about the same or worse on those scores.


BTW, I'm open to starting a new thread for this tangent, but I figure this thread has gone so well, why quit a good thing? LOL But let me know if a new thread would be better.

“I can’t,” I told him. “I just can’t.”

I’ve lost the desire to attempt the courtship phase. The future is uncertain. I am not the optimistic person I was on the morning of Nov. 8, wearing a T-shirt with “Nasty Woman” written inside a red heart. It makes me want to cry thinking of that. Of seeing my oldest in the shirt I bought her in Washington, D.C., that says “Future President.”

There is no room for dating in this place of grief. Dating means hope. I’ve lost that hope in seeing the words “President-elect Trump.”

This is one of the funniest bits of handwringing I've come across this far from the election. Behold the crushing anxiety:

Did Donald Trump Win the Election Because of a Typo?[/SIZE][/B]


[QUOTE][I]Clinton campaign aide Charles Delavan is reportedly convinced that he is to blame for accidentally misleading Podesta about the severity of information indicating that his account was being targeted by hackers. “This is a legitimate e-mail. John needs to change his password immediately,” Delevan wrote in a memo, after forwarded a message saying that a computer in Ukraine had attempted to log in to Podesta’s Gmail account. Months later, Delavan told The Times that he had meant to write “illegitimate” instead of “legitimate,” knowing that the e-mail was part of a phishing attack. (He had also sent a clean URL to a Podesta aide, linking to the secure, authentic Google page where he could safely change his password, and requested that the aide turn on two-factor authentication.) But as he had apparently deemed the phishing e-mail “legitimate” at the time, Podesta’s aides used the fake link to reset the password, and inadvertently opened the door to the Russian hacking collective known as Fancy Bear.[/I] [/QUOTE]

The piece relates some info from a NYT article I have the gist of but haven't waded through with a microscope yet. So no comment from me on the content from VF, but the headline writer here DOES need to get a grip, clickbait motivations duly considered. Pretty sure Trump won because Hillary was a bad candidate who ran a bad campaign at a time when a lot of people wanted the other guy, and the electoral college count is the system we've always used. Typos didn't have anything to do with it, bless your heart.

However, this will provide welcome variety for the whiners still making the rounds with worn-out delusions on TV and elsewhere, and I expect to hear them pick up this idea as a talking point by early next week at the latest.

Recently, Bill Clinton said Comey was the reason his wife lost. I realize Comey is a white guy, but I thought we were going with the Russians now.

If there were any money in it, I'd compile a list of the Top 10 Dem Reasons Hillary Lost and a companion list---Top 10 Reasons Hillary Really Won---to keep you people interested in what goes on around here...LOL...:fire:
