"As Dems Enthrone Hillary Clinton remember her contempt for rule of law" - Chicago Tribune
I was just checking out this piece written by a reporter named John Kass over at the Chicago Tribune.
It reads in parts almost like an open letter to the Clintonites. I highly recommend you give it a read.
Hillary Clinton and Democratic bosses convene in Philadelphia this week to place her on the establishment's Iron Throne. Here's what you'll see them say:
That Donald Trump is evil and has orange hair and hates women. That President Barack Obama loves Hillary and respects her, really.
That cops, not lousy public schools run for generations by Democrats and skyrocketing black unemployment, are the problem in big cities.
And, that in a dangerous world, Clinton offers experience, while Trump is likely to blow it up.
She's got the big money from Wall Street and George Soros and Hollywood. Republican establishment elites bend their knees before her. She'll play the race card and the gender card, the insensitivity card, the cop card and all the identity politics she can muster to bind voters to her side.
But will Mrs. Clinton and the Democratic National Convention dare address the one issue that truly threatens her candidacy?
That she's widely considered to have broken the law and has been publicly branded as a liar.
He brings up some pretty damning facts in the article and asks some questions the DNC really should be asking itself.
Now if only more people were actually asking hard questions.
Comments
Well, it's the Chicago Tribune, so to be expected.
These days, I find Democratic partisans as odd as Republican partisans. Both seemingly from elsewhere in the universe.
And we have to live with them and their 'choices'.
Gëzuar!!

Boy, is she stupid. She chose Caine.
Dem pollster on cable just said about Bernie supporters, "Where else are they going to go." He's stupid,too.
Where else are they going to go? Gee... Oh yeah:

Great campaign poster

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.
A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.
Damn, some of the Bernie wordsmiths have joined the Greens!
This could get interesting.

The DNC Hates Progressives
They have said this for decades and it is time progressives do just that, go somewhere else because the Neo Liberals will fuck society as bad as the Retags.
Tim Kaine is Hillary without the campaign lying
Dyed-in-the-wool Corporadem who can't wait to deregulate his bestest buddies on Wall Street. She just pulled off her Bernie mask and went full DLC.
Of course, the bots at TOP are enthusiastically putting the mustard on this particular shit sandwich. They can't wait to tuck into it.
Please help support caucus99percent!
They're helping to
They're helping to manufacture/sell the shit sandwiches - and expect to be going out for lobster themselves, no doubt.

Gosh... Didn't see this coming...
Grand bargains, trade deals, and wars... Mmmm, shit on rye... But she's a woman!
A horrible representative of capable women
She would solidify distrust of women in charge of the US to ensure a rough road for any capable woman being executive of the US for times to extinction. If we survive her presidency.

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
That aspect to this fiasco hadn't occurred to me.
But then again, it's hard to keep up with all the crap and corruption that's gone on in this freaking primary.

Great move, Hillary!
First, you are a horrible campaigner. The more people hear you, the more they dislike you. I am told that Kaine is really a boring campaigner--he said so about himself. Wonderful. Throwing away the faux-left turn, you have jumped right back into the loving arms of the Wall Street Banksters who have backed you from before day 1 of your official campaign.
Donald Trump has cleverly co-opted Bernie's wonderful message of "not me, us", morphing it into "I'm with You" a very potent phrase that will be sharply contrasted with Hillary's self-aggrandizing "I'm with Her". Whether Trump really is part populist or not (probably not), this turn of phrase will help send Hillary down into the flames she most definitely deserves.
It's OK, I hear that
It's OK, I hear that President Obama's Justice department has pulled election observers in preparation for the General. The number of votes she'll be claiming will be unbelievable.
Still Berning for a miracle - and posting this allegorical tale.

Edit: the song title's especially appropriate when one thinks of Sec. of State Clinton selling off 20% of the US's already inadequate strategic supply of uranium to now-scary-again Russia.

Well she wont
get over on the repugs as easily as she did on Sanders.
AE--you must have missed Al Franken this evening
on MSNBC.
(I heard him on satellite radio--O'Donnell said that Al called in.)
Anyhoo, Franken's words:
O'Donnell's words:
(My parentheses--his words.)
O'Donnell went on to read [to Al] a glowing press release of a 'congrats' issued to Senator Kaine, by Arizona's Junior Republican Senator Jeff Flake.
What!!!!!!!!!
BTW, Franken and O'Donnell both thought it was a wonderful and fitting gesture!

Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.
Al Franken is a Fraud
He is just another pro-War, pro-Bankster Democrat who just plays the game.
The fact that he supports the Clintons and Kaines of the World, and opposes the genuine article like Bernie Sanders shows what a run-of-the-mill, uninspiring hack he is.
What's the point of picking a fight with Bill O'Reilly (which made Franken famous in the political realm) when you have no interest in fighting real power, and real corruption?
Franken is a fraud.
And the fraud list grows:
Barney Frank, Howard Dean, Al Franken, Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, David Plouffe....
Damn, never thought I'd ever say I don't give a damn what Barack Obama, or anyone else, including Bernie Sanders, has to say about the Clintons, always remember, it's BOTH of them.
Sick about this. Seriously, really sick. Honestly think Clintons are more dangerous than Trump.
I miss the Al Franken of Air America days... n/t

The DNC are totally rejecting
The DNC are totally rejecting the Progressive side of the party, once they declare her the one to sit the throne, I am telling WV that I wish to be Green no longer Dem as that party is intolerably criminal and UN-democratic.
So long, and thanks for all the fish
I wonder who is actually going to be the VP?
Kaine or Bill? I don't see Bill sitting by and not being more involved in her administration.
Sure he's going to be the economic policy adviser, but does anyone believe that is all he is going to be involved in? I don't. She was involved in his administration more than any other FLOTUS in history except for maybe Eleanor.
The people who believe that the Clintons are going to put their interests over the donors, the banks, the foreign governments that donated to their foundation and many other people are in for a rude awakening.
The banks have financed their entire careers and during his administration, they returned the favors.
Look at how many more favors they owe since they left the WH.
There were problems with running a campaign of Joy while committing a genocide? Who could have guessed?
Harris is unburdened of speaking going forward.
Bill's Job
He will be the show director, telling the lighting and audio crews what to do while Hillary is in the spotlight. He'll cue the music and the special effects - all from behind the curtain. He'll be the puppet master working behind the scenes to ensure the looks like she's doing a better job than she actually will, and to keep us rabble in our place lest we spoil the surprises.
Kaine will attend state funerals.

Another Sam Zell Production
The Chicago Tribune has always been somewhat right-wing, but they went insane once the odious Sam Zell bought them. I wasn't lining in Chicago while he did, but I do live in Los Angeles, where he turned the "liberal" LA Times into a printed version of FOX.
Zell is one of the reasons I haven't subscribed to home delivery for over ten years.
