Breaking: The Associated Press Declare Hillary Clinton President
Submitted by LaFeminista on Tue, 06/07/2016 - 6:53am
We believe that it is unnecessary to prolong the 2016 campaign further, poll after poll indicates that Hillary Clinton would win the general election, therefore:
To avoid further expense and voter angst over the tone being used, we declare Hillary Clinton to be the 45th President of these United States.
~AP
Let's make this democracy thing a whole lot easier, why wait for actual voting, why count every vote, just talk to a few folks and declare a winner.
Oh and to all of you questioning the coronation process you are just misogynists. I talked to my neighbor and she agrees with me and since we outnumber all of you it's over, so just shut up.
Now if President Obama would just leave office immediately all would be good.

I am sure
that this option was discussed by HRC and the AP but they decided that the media would lose to much ad revenue
There is always that.
'We don't have a superPAC' is like nails on chalkboard...
For corporate media. We have to look at the general election as a business opportunity, folks.
For Realz?
Ya GOT to be fuckin' kiddin' me!?!?!
Remember when they said Hills won the REPUBLIKKKAN primary? I wouldn't put it past them.
Sorry for the reaction, too early, no coffee(yet).
Edit; I meant debate, not primary.
Did I mention no coffee? Rectified!

All Hail The Queen!!
LOL Thanks for another good yuk this morning. I was perusing NPR and came across their piece on John Oliver...after reading the shit about "How Long Before Bernie Drops Out". What...500 or so delegates in California, and they don't matter one wit??
You're welcome first thing that came to mind waking up here
in Yurop, the news cycle gets more absurd each passing day so why not go all the way to plain silly
DEAR LEADER
North Korea likely has similar operations: just a few years away for us.
If we MUST have a Queen,
I prefer the one with the Corgis. Woozle power!
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
I just read that she's been declared President for life.
with Chelsea as VP.
Thanks AP!
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
Don't forget the grand baby.
We could easily have the Clinton not-so-royal family family in office for 100 years.

To be fair to Hillary
she did say she's been "winning" for quite some time now. AP agrees. /s
So did Charlie Sheen....
How did that work out for him?

Psyops: that is what this is
Bill Clinton recruited Trump to scare up votes for Hillary: literally: this is Kabuki theatre: one big psyops effort replacing any real Democracy.
It is very clear that this is a replay of the Iraq War vote: it has been many years since we've had a functioning media: Clintons were complicit in that too.
Obama is hamstrung: he can only come out against her if there is sufficient groundswell. Trump can beat her, but as they are friends, is unlikely to prosecute her and may even pardon her for national security violations.
CLINTRUMP=one party enacting psyops on the vast majority of U.S. citizens: we are not a Democracy by any standard: in fact worse than many other nations, and AP et al. are putrid.
Boycott the MSM and their backers if you can.
At this point, I'd believe anything.
You could tell me that Bill Clinton and Trump are the same person, and I'd believe it. I have never seen anything as corrupt and dismissive of voters as what the Democrats did this election to assure Queen Hillary gets her turn and Wall Streets stays out of jail.

If that's the case, then it will backfire on her badly....
You want proof? Read it and weep.

not weeping
Although better written than if I had done it, the Naked Capitalism article's analysis is precisely mine. Clinton has no way to counter Trump. He will devastate her in debates and in all of his media pronouncements. She will be "toast" (to quote her husband)
The DNC and the media anointed her. They own this

As I've posted elsewhere
The mainstream media has and will commit gross indecency by proclaiming Clinton has won the Democratic nomination. Many will ignore the fact that she does not have them unless suoerdelagte votes are counted, and the fact is superdelates HAVE NOT VOTED YET and will not be able to until the convention. Their "commitment" is meaninglless. Superdelagates can and have changed their minds. I will be meeting with some of them in a few weeks and make the case that Bernie Sanders is the strongest candidate to beat Trump. It would be like the Super Bowl and we got the kickoff, Clinton would have the ball on her own 48 yard line. Sanders would have it on Trump's 40. Deciding who has better field position is obvious. That's where I want to be.
I did already see it.
Last night on my main news feed. Last effing night. Before any CA, et.al. cast a vote. Dis-gust-ing.
Really like your analogy jumpin_j and it's awesome that you'll be making the case the Bernie is, and always was, the strongest candidate to pummel Drumpf.
Trump was always a Manchurian candidate designed to make
Hillary acceptable. The announcement today was designed to depress the CA vote. They realized that just announcing her coronation Tuesday at 5pm was not going to be enough so they did it on Monday to depress the vote further.
I am not a millenial but if I was, I would show them that I am not my parents or grandparents. I would make the Green Party my home and completely replace the Democratic and Republican Parties. They are destroying your planet, they have stolen your democracy and they are trying to enslave your future. Don't let them do it.
The absolute hypocrisy and double-standard of the media
in this, not to mention their sheer partisanship, is mind-blowingly glaring. They wouldn't call a state primary over before the polls close in order not to affect the vote, but here they're calling it before the polls even effing open. And their basing it not on pledged delegates but on a poll of the super delegates (the elitist of the elite of the Dem Party establishment).
Ah well.
New slogan for the Dems: Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free... and abandon hope all ye who enter.

Not to be a conspiracy theorist
but I do wonder what that phone call from President Obama to Bernie Sanders was about.
"Get the hell out and let Hillary have it already!"
or
"Watch out, Bernie, they're coming for you"
or
"They're gonna do this, so it's time for the next stage of our plan. I don't want your populists and you don't want my Wall St robber barons, but we both want to get rid of her."
or
"How 'bout those Warriors?"

My guess
is Obama told him he and lynch are not going to indict clinton. And in fact they're going to make the whole email thing go away so if he, Bernie, was holding out hoping for the righteous shit to pour down on hillary, well it ain't going to happen...
Obama to Sanders guess
On CBS morning show during a teaser they said Obama called Sanders to let him know he would be endorsing Hillary soon. Then, later Charlie Rose repeats that and then says, "well, we assume that's what he said." Oh brother. Report it as fact, then throw in a tiny clarification later.
Their disgusting reporting aside, that does make sense to me. A "heads up" phone call does sound likely to me. In addition to trying to get Bernie to drop out.
We've talked about how Obama wants to start campaigning for Hillary, but can't until there is a nominee. Well, this new AP Coronation makes that possible for him now. He doesn't have to wait now. They'll just play it out as if she has won. Obama's problem solved.
#NotWithAFuckingBargepole.
That is all.
This is SO spot on, LaFeminista
It seriously perfectly encapsulates this entire ridiculous sham of a primary.
Pricelss in so many ways :-)
SO well done.

And I spent the early morning insuring
HRC supporters there is no need for them to vote because she has already won. Lol

CNN.com this morning
headline: Historic Moment Goes on to talk about how clinton has clinched the nomination. This piece of work was written by Nia-Malika Henderson, Senior Political Reporter. Here's her facebook page. I don't have an account but if I did I'd tell her what a POS "journalist" she is. I'm so pissed right now at this fucking corrupt media and their chosen one. We're worse than a banana republic. At least they try to hide their corruption a little bit. WTF has happened to us...
Wait a minute.
She's the senior political reporter for what's supposed to be the nation's premier news network (I know, that's like saying "our classiest landfill") ... and her Facebook page has 828 "likes"?
That's some effective communicatin' going on there.

Well I for one
Am glad that's done.
Now I can get back to shopping and deciding if I should paint the kitchen mauve or banana yellow.

Defninitely banana yellow. Kitchens should all be yellow.
Isn't great we can get to back to what's really important?
Our Journalists are yellow, so why not our kitchens? ;)
I like things to match....

And...
it will go so well with the republic!
Better hurry though before everyone runs out of yellow paint.

Yellow with mauve stripes for that sickly feeling that goes
oh so well with the declaration
Pelosi Endorses Hill Too!
Should the AP proclamation not suppress enough votes for Bernie on Tuesday, Bill & Hill had another ace up their sleeves: Nancy Pelosi chose this momentous (unplanned) occasion to endorse Hill on Monday night. Cackle, cackle.
??
Obviously, your desire to see Obama out of office is a little racist.... If we're gointo prove we're not racist, I think we have to get rid of the 22nd Amendment...and fast....before the convention. It's a big lift, but, it's what we have to do...if we're not racist.
