HRC Receives Gift Horse, Administers Extensive Dental Exam
If I were an aide-de-camp to Hillary Clinton, I would be tugging on her sleeve at the moment and whispering into her ear that she is standing at the precipice of a giant logic volcano and about to throw herself in.
I am referring to the fact that instead of hiring Tony Robbins to conduct coal walking and team building exercises for her campaign workers, she is now focused on using the entire professional staff of the State Department as human shields for her own poor judgements and actions.
Hillary, sometimes the best course of action is to simply vacate a battlefield and move onto to other skirmishes. Mourn your dead and wounded (like your judgement and your credibility) drink to their memories, but don't hang around and haunt the scene of your defeat, and for heavens sake, don't create even more carcasses by re-enacting your Waterloo yet again and tossing in more troops to sacrifice on the altar of your vanity and hubris.
To what am I referring, you may ask. I am referring to these mind-blowing stories that are appearing that report that Hillary Clinton, despite receiving the greatest gift of all, freedom from the fear of indictment, is turning on her benefactor, FBI Director James Comey and implying that the person displaying the impaired reasoning and decision making in regards to characterizing her actions as exceptional carelessness, is him. She then deflects the limelight from herself to all those government worker bees that she relied on to do the right thing and not disseminate classified materials when communicating with her:
Hillary Rejects FBI Claim That She Was "careless" With Emails - NYT
“I think there are about 300 people in the government, mostly in the State Department, but in other high positions in the government with whom I emailed over the course of four years — they, I believe, did not believe they were sending any material that was classified,” Mrs. Clinton said on CNN. “They were pursuing their responsibilities. I do not think they were careless.”
She added, “And as I have said many times, I certainly did not believe that I received or sent any material that was classified.”
Noble Hillary! Defending the actions of those she drew into her own web of incompetence and malfeasance. How were her underlings supposed to communicate with her except for the unique system she herself set-up, despite the fact that it was insecure and unapproved and violated the guidelines that she herself sent out to all the little people to not do as she did? Instead of setting an example of highest and best practices, she herself was a font of the corruption of standard practices. The FBI director noted that there was a corporate culture of laxness when it came to security procedures in the State Department - Gee, who do you think was leading the way?
And look at how Hillary is setting herself up as the victim - she relied on those underlings to do the right thing! She thought they were professional! She is also sending the message to those career staffers - If the Big Cheese goes down, so do all the smaller wheels. Now that's how to build loyalty.
But here is the real factoid that is pushing Hillary over the logic precipice - she is appearing to say that to this day, she is still maintaining that she did not (does not) believe that she sent any material that was classified. Doesn't the fact that a criminal referral was made to the FBI indicate otherwise? How about the information that not only was some of the material was classified, it was classified at the very highest levels and even as we speak is not available to the public or even to Congress? Should that be a clue that she is 100% wrong and that in maintaining this fiction, she is making herself out to be either delusional or incapable of admitting that she made a mistake, a very serious mistake, but one which the FBI was very magnanimously willing to overlook and to continue to allow her to walk among us?
How is it possible that HRC's self image is so fragile that she has to continue to market this persona of infallibility? If she remains unable to discern the very highest level of classified material up through today, what basis is there for believing she will be able to recognize it as President in the future?

Same as the "coming under sniper fire" lie
She stuck to that lie for a very long time until forced by witness testimony to retract. This is so much more important since it involves accusations against others (Comey).
I don't think she can actually differentiate
between what is and is not reality-based. 'Truth' in her mind is whatever the crap she wants it to be, and the little people had better agree or be thrown under the bus (well, thrown under NOW - most will be thrown under at some point because they are fodder).
My mother is also a serious narcissist which I guess gave me practice at comprehending when minds don't act like most do. My mother sees herself as a very empathic person because she feels A LOT. But when she looks at others, she comprehends what SHE would feel in the other person's shoes and misses entirely what the other person actually feels (even if the other person can demonstrate or articulate it). She has a conception of me which is nearly devoid of any aspect of who I am or that I have any feelings apart from hers. She's proud of decisions she's made (when I've been unconscious, literally) which have utterly changed the course of the river of my life because she was acting on utter misinterpretations of reality. She's entirely undaunted by the negative fallout for me since she felt she was doing good and is proud of herself for taking a strong stand.
Honestly, I'm not sure I will be able to physically withstand all the I believe Hillary wants to do for people like me. She could knock out the resources which keep me alive without noticing - I'm a fly in the path of an oncoming windshield to her.

Aye, HRC shows clear signs.
Aye, HRC shows clear signs. Never ever her fault, need for adoration without disagreement, frighteningly callous lack of empathy, insulated from reality by a select herd of minions. She's dangerous.
I wish I was joking
but I am seriously considering a new argument for my plan - to vote Green in reliably red an blue states, to put the fear os God in downballot Dems. We must admit (to ourselves) that we do not have the power to change American politics - today. Therefore we must decide on our ultimate goal and plan for it.
I suggest our ultimate goal does not need the defeat of Hillary - in fact, her victory may serve our purposes better. Imagine the sight of Hillary dressed in elizabethan ruffles running around the White House lawn yelling "Off with their heads!" chased by a secret service agent with a straightjacket. What could be a better way to discredit the third way?

then it would be better to vote Green in all states.

Indeed! Vote against planet
Indeed! Vote against planet-destroying abusers A and B by voting for the non-corporate Green Party.
What other real choice is there? Does anyone really want to vote for direct/indirect billionaire/corporate rule when they could vote for someone who actually cares about democracy, sustainability and survival?

Not necessarily
I would rather have whoever Hillary choses for VP as President after they throw a butterfly net over Hillary in 2018 when the Rs take a stranglehold on the senate and start privatizing SS and Medicare and Medicaid and Judge Dredd becomes reality and the KKK becomes the new West Point and…
We would survive Trump. We might survive Hillary - if the she doesn't start WW3 before the Rs impeach her in 2018. We do not survive a total Fascist instead of Trump.
It is arguable, but I think the best is Trump 2016 because there won't be either a Hillary or a Republican Party in 2020, but I don't think that Trump will be the R candidate and whoever it is will be worse than even Hillary - even if she's crazier than Nixon.

Doesn't she get that she's re-inforcing Ryan's argument
to deny her security briefings? If she is unable to distinguish classified material to this day, then she is incapable of protecting it.

Although I just realized that she's confined to a straitjacket
of her own making. She is compelled to say that she believes she never sent or received classified material because to say otherwise would reveal "guilty knowlege" or i.e. "intent".
Hillary has created both rock and hard place. She is making the case that she is unqualified to be President in either instance, whether she knew or didn't know. In one case she's (a) close to moronic (according to Comey, since reasonable people should have known they were discussing classified matters) or in the other case (b) she's negligent and prosecutable.
" “Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.” FDR "
Yes.
I'm not sure it's entirely of her own making - I think psychology is still debating whether this sort of impulsive behavior is mental illness or what, exactly, it is. Did it come out of her brain? Absolutely. Did she cause it to come out of her brain or did her brain do it to her? I guess I hope it's the latter because I would like to think most people are not inherently evil. Not quite sure I can withhold that label, however. She's done some horrific things and has not broken a sweat. If it were reported that she ordered fava beans and a nice chianti, I would readily believe it.

Absolutely, consistently predictable.
I wish I could get her and her foundation money across a poker table, even I could take her for everything.
OT; I'm reminded of that bit on spelling.
"I" after "E", except after "C".
Regarding this latest bit, I'm still waiting for someone to talk about the practice of making normal government activity secret. Were those things classified as "Top Secret" really the kind of things that reasonably should be secret?
Do we REALLY want to conflate the two arguments?
I do not. Some things SHOULD be secret... others should not.
It apparently is possible that people were outed if her emails were hacked. That would be an example of stuff which SHOULD be kept secret. I don't like that folks' lives could be jeopardized because it was inconvenient for her to use two devices or if she feels that FOIA is inconvenient in the course of her stealing the highest office in the land. We need to have the discussion of classification APART from the discussion of what that woman got away with (so far).
She wins when she conflates the discussions.

I thought the most compelling part of the Comey
hearing was the guy from Texas, Hurd who derided those calling the hearing political theater when he knew that actual lives can be on the line when security is not adhered to - he said he had seen friends killed. You can't get any more serious than that.
" “Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.” FDR "
That's weird, isn't it?
Very weird.
There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don't know we don't know.
Thanks for the spellcheck - changed.
As to your other point, I kind of take it as an article of faith that no FBI referral would have been made unless there really was some big deal stuff in there. Would anyone really do that for something inconsequential and/or insignificant? I tend to think not, but of course, I could be wrong.

So let me see
if I have this right, hrc is a narcissistic sociopathic psychopath that will not be denied her right to be the next POTUS. Hmmmm!
pretty much.
Just to mention, you forgot

All included in the ruling psychopath package.
Look at early Bill & Hill. It's all right there, they each get from the other what they lack on their own, the perfect power couple, and they've spawned.
A dynasty is born.
Hillary reminds me of the
Hillary reminds me of the Presidential candidate from the movie Deadzone(not the TV series, the Chris Walken movie). I would not be unhappy if she were out of the picture, even though I do not advocate violence, but were she to have a health issue take her out, I would not shed a tear for that criminal.
So long, and thanks for all the fish
It depends upon what the meaning of is is.
Hillary said "I certainly did not believe that I received or sent any material that was classified".
She did NOT say she didn't receive or send classified material. She did say that she didn't believe it. Also, note the careful use of past tense. In other words, she says nothing about what she currently believes after the FBI revealed she was lying. This careful parsing of words, typical of Clintons, gives her an out worthy of Bill's claim that oral sex is not sex.
She can parse all she wants
but
just sounds insane, coming from a former SoS. What was she doing all day, if not working with classified or sensitive, diplomatic material?
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
It is insane.
It's Clintonesque. She and Bill have spent the past 40 years working assiduously to skirt the edge of legality and parse their words just enough to avoid actionable perjury.
What's most insane, though, is that she's still on track to become our next president. The nation has lost its mind.
Brainwashed by the authoritarian and hierarchical system in
which they were raised to be obedient, reinforced by the MSM which provides them with their daily dose of
propagandatruth.I think that Hillary created a situation like what Bill Black
called "control fraud" in the banking industry but translated to the State Department.
By setting up her own end run around the rules and regs of communication, Hillary created an environment where others would have no choice but to follow their leader. The predictable result was the lax security culture that Comey commented on. I can well imagine someone saying to themselves, this must be okay if Madame Secretary is doing it, who am I to question? This is what I meant by saying that she entrapped others in her web of malfeasance. When the execs and CEOs set this sort of tone, the entire system can self-destruct - think ENRON. By her actions, HRC behaved more like the CEO of a privately held company than as a Cabinet Secretary accountable to both the people and the Congress.

The 300
If I were on the list of 300 people she mentioned, I'd be scared stiff that Clinton revenge was headed my way.
It's OK, she's destructive to
It's OK, she's destructive to everyone, including all life on the planet, so if she becomes President, we're all doomed anyway. No special worries for those on the little Clinton list 'who (they feel) never will be missed'...

Well, I do feel that extra-marital affairs should be between the involved parties.
However, forcibly screwing people out of their voting rights in order to forcibly screw them out of any hope of democracy ever again is hardly consensual and should be promptly dealt with with the full force of law.

However, Bill's affairs included flying with
Epstein who was having sex with underaged girls. Either on the jet that Clinton was flying on or at his private island.
He went to prison and is a registered sex offender.
Was Clinton aware of the underaged girls and then stayed quiet about them, or did he also engage in sex with those girls?
When Epstein was arrested, was Clinton even interviewed?
Either way, it seems that Clinton is still engaging in sexual activities without his wife.
That's another scandal that they will bring back to the WH.
Remember how they rented out the Lincoln bedroom?
And Hillary's supporters want them back in the WH? Sheesh, talk about low standards.
It seems like nothing will derail their ideals about who Hillary is. Or Bill either.
Good lord, read some of the sappy comments in the pro Hillary diaries at LOF! I could go into a diabetic coma after reading some of them.
There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?
Harris is unburdened of speaking going forward.
Wow. Seriously?
Well, on second thought, why am I even surprised.
