Hillary, thy name is....
Hillary, thy name is Hypocrisy. And Double Standards and Holier Than Thou. Among many others.
So...Hillary gave a speech in Reno, Thursday, probably to change the media narrative from the Clinton Foundation. Friday's Morning Joe said that Hillary had taken the "unusual step" of delivering her entire speech to media in advance to ensure wide coverage. Nominally, the speech was about small business; in reality, it was about Trump's racism and anti-Semitism, which media was sure to put on blast. When it ended, Hillary refused to answer questions about the Clinton Foundation, instead offering reporters condescending praise and chocolates, as might Forrest Gump's abuela.

I cannot defend Trump against Hillary's charges. I'm not of the house and lineage of Obi-Wan: I can't pull off the whole "Those are not the comments you heard" thing. Not as to Donald--but also not as to Hillary. Hillary is much more self-protective and circumspect than Donald, but she has been guilty of many of the same things with which she so solemnly charged him.
Quite a few of Hillary's comments about Trump were of the "guilt by association" variety. However, Hillary can also be charged with guilt by association. Hillary's father was a conservative and active in the Republican Party. She cited her conservative roots recently. (She also cited her moderate and progressive policies. Gee, it's almost as though she tries to be all things to all people.) According to Hillary, she canvassed for Nixon at age 13-14 (October birthday, November election), was a Goldwater Girl at ages 17-18, headed Wellesley College Republicans at 18 and attended the Republican National Convention of 1968 when she was almost 21.
Hillary claims that she left the 1968 convention because she heard "veiled"racism. I find it impossible to believe that someone with her history did not hear at least racial dog whistles from Republicans until eight years in. For just one thing, the 1964, Goldwater campaign was based on "states' rights (also known as "states have a Constitutional right to enact and enforce Jim Crow laws"). (As an aside, pro-Hillary ads running now compare Trump 2016 to....Barry Goldwater 1964. You just can't make it up.) Yet, she attended the 1968 Republican National Convention.
In law school, Hillary met Bill Clinton. Born and raised in Jim Crow Arkansas, he was 18 before the Civil Rights Act passed and 19 before the Voting Rights Act passed--and full compliance with those laws was not instantaneous. (Please google for images of life under Jim Crow.) Additionally, he had been mentored and helped in politics since high school by Senator Fulbright, then a proud segregationist and one of the Senators who joined forces to filibuster the Civil Rights Act for many days. Did Hillary never hear a racist remark or dog whistle from Bill Clinton or his crowd? Did she never observe racist conduct from any of them? Did she speak out or walk away?
A last note for this post about guilt by association before focusing more on Hillary's own acts and omissions: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, whom she considers a racist and an anti-Semite, have been good friends for many years. http://i.imgur.com/uXTP7bs.jpgU She claims that she was never friends with Donald, only Ivanka. However, her friendship with Ivanka certainly was not the reason that Hillary was invited to Donald's wedding to Melania, many years and a wife or two after he divorced Ivanka.
In Reno, Hillary evinced contempt for Trump's speaking of the Confederate flag and the heritage it represents (emphasizing heritage). When Arkansas Governor, Bill Clinton signed one bill stating that Arkansas shall celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day together with Robert E. Lee Day (1985) and another bill affirming that the star in the Arkansas state flag represents the Confederacy (1987). At no time, up until today, did Bill or Hillary, who still have clout in Arkansas, especially among Democrats, voice disapproval of either bill. Logical opportunities to do so have presented, including efforts made by Arkansans to rid themselves of these bills.
In 2015, Democratic Arkansas Rep. Charles Blake said of a bill that would have paired Robert E. Lee Day with a different holiday, “This would allow all [Arkansans] to honor our heritage and progress without them being in conflict with each other. We can celebrate our legacy and unity and celebrate the culture of our Southern roots.” Did Hillary school fellow Democrat Blake or is praising "heritage" wrong only when Trump says it? When asked about the Confederate flag flying at the South Carolina state house after the South Carolina shootings, Hillary made a weak sauce comment like "I'd like to see it come down." Granted that was better than Trump's comment, but was mildly expressing a personal preference enough for a Democratic Presidential hopeful who condemns Trump so strongly (which he deserves)?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/22/bill-clinton-arkansas-confedera...
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/01/29/why-arkans...
As Governor and First Lady, both Clintons led the annual celebration of Arkansas Confederate Flag Day, which kicked off Arkansas Confederate History and Heritage Month. At no time, up until today, did Bill or Hillary suggest that Arkansas should drop or modify this celebration. Trump's comment about the Confederate flag and heritage was unquestionably wrong, but what about Hillary's co-leading the actual celebrations of the Confederate flag and heritage? After all, Bill was Governor in the mid 1980s, not the mid 1860s, or even the mid 1950s.
Next: Hillary as First Lady and beyond

Yep
These are the types of things that make me want her as far away from the presidential office as possible.
So disappointing that she will probably end up being our first female president.
It's unfortunate, because the shit job she will do will give the
misogynistic bunch "justification" for why a women should never be President...
Maybe we can convince people she really is an alien lizard person and not really a woman at all?

The first woman president will be impeached
because both sides will make it so. She shows up with anti-presidential tendencies and they would impeach a ham sandwich if necessary, but they're getting someone with anti-presidential tendencies. Ugh. What a legacy.

Articles of Impeachment...
will be fully drafted and ready for action on the day Hillary is inaugurated. The only question is will the be filed as HR-1 or HR-2.

Any body else wanna bet, if she wins,
she changes it to Hillary Rodham.
If all else fails, she can go back to the Board of Wal-Mart, put on her southern accent, and pretend it's what she wanted all along.
If they impeach, they won't convict, but I'd rather have Kaine
than Clinton.
I uprated you, but I'm not sure about Kaine.

Better an open enemy than a deceitful "friend"
We know where Kaine stands. Hillary is a lying weasel.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
Then again, we have so many examples of why men should not
have been President.
Yeah, I know. No one sees it that way.
Until Golda Meier and Indira Ghandi, I think many assumed women would make kinder, gentler rulers.

The only way to keep her out
The only way to keep her out is to vote for Trump. That is the reality of the situation...
Vote for Trump?
Fortunately, that statement is false.
Trump will never occupy the Oval Office. Even most Republicans loathe him. Reince Priebus and Co. have been searching for ways to weasel out from under him (remember, once elected President, Trump would become Priebus' boss).
Besides which, mainstream Republicans already have a Presidential Candidate -- Hillary Clinton. Who will almost certainly be the next President.
Alas and alack for our poor country and our poor world!
So we Stein voters can vote with clean consciences, nationwide.......

You Sound Completely Brainwashed...
You are 100% WRONG.
Wait until Trump makes mincemeat out of her at the debates...
If she even shows up...
You seem to be a Republican...
that's OK, you are welcome here as long as you're civil. Throw any more insults like you did above and you'll be bounced out of here though.
Brainwashed?
Direct Evidence? And I mean now, not at the time of some future debate, if you please.
Thank you in advance.
n.b.: This is a one-way street, and you are the one doing all the "owing" here. The ;proposals that I am "brainwashed" and "100% WRONG" are extraordinary affirmative claims, demanding direct evidence that is strong, extraordinary, and first. As to my assertion that the GOP (or at least a significant portion thereof) wants rid of Trump, a search engine request for "GOP dump Trump" on ixquick yields at least 80 hits, including articles from GOP-loyalist entities such as USNews and World Report, RedState, and longtime conservative GOP activist S.E. Cupp.
One passage from Ms. Cupp epitomizes this movement in the GOP and my assertion that it is significant here:
Why, thank you, Ms. Cupp!
And Ms. Cupp is correct here; they could -- and, again unfortunately, will.
A couple other small points of order:
What we need as a nation is what Jill Stein is offering -- being offered by politicians and political organizations/entities with a fighting chance to actually get into power so they can be directly and decisively implemented. Once Bernie wasn't to be the Presidential Nominee in 2016, that was lost for at least another four years. I have no illusions that any vote I might cast -- regardless of how I do it -- has any other value save as a protest at this point. But that doesn't change the facts: we need to switch to a non-interventionistic foreign policy with a corresponding decrease in the size, scope and budget of our military, devoting the dollar savings to a World War II-style national mobilization to retool the entire United States for a full-employment, all-renewable-energy future (the only kind we can have -- it's that kind or none).
And again: Donald Trump will never be President. Too many of the big money and power players are far too invested in their reliable
candidatepuppet Hillary Clinton for them to permit anything else to occur.Never Clintons! Never Trump! Fuck this shit!

Yup. I also think that wouldn't it be loverly if by Hill taking
away Trump votes and the left feeling she has it won, she doesn't need us:
Final votes were Trump about 10%, Hill about 30%, and Jill about 60%!
A girl's gotta dream. But Mom and Dad are ready to vote for Jill, so she does appeal to moderates too!

There's no way voting can keep her out.
Not this time. Wall St and the Chamber definitely want her. And she has all the connections she needs to rig the election.
There are other important things we can do, even electorally, but keeping her out of office is probably not one of them.

That depends, of course, on whether the candidates
…are polling neck and neck in the weeks preceding the election. In that case, voting blocs can easily swing the number — for either one of them.
Anything is possible, too, if the events of September and October bring the disruptive events they promise.
IMAGINE if you woke up the day after a US Presidential Election and headlines around the the world blared, "The Majority of Americans Refused to Vote in US Presidential Election! What Does this Mean?"
If her peeps have figured out how to hack the voting machines,
then nothing else matters. Unless Trump has smarter peeps. And how likely is that?

At that point--
the potentially disruptive events Pluto's talking about become important--but it's hard to imagine, now that we've seen the FBI back down, what it would take to prevent her being President.

FBI and the D of J--both in the Executive Branch of a Dem admin.
A special prosecutor should have been appointed. That no Republican PTB pushed for that is suspect.
When the FBI investigation was announced, I thought the purpose of it was to clear her, to give her at least plausible deniability. And, indeed, I've heard media shills say that the bottom line of Comey's statement was that he found no evidence to warrant prosecution. When Obama endorsed her before the investigation ended, I assumed my first assumption was correct. No sitting President is going to endorse someone under a real FBI investigation if there is any chance of prosecution by the D of J.
I don't think voting and vote-counting is where rigging
…occurs in general elections. There are better and more reliable entry points to fix the vote.
Primary elections are actually more difficult to rig. The candidates and their staff are in state to witness the outcomes. Too many states, too many working parts. And too many observers. Rigging always gets exposed. (Not that it matters.)
If I understand correctly, states are working furiously to outlaw oversight and exit polls. There is an effort in Congress to do the same. Once Hillary is elected, dozens of monitoring loop holes will be sealed forever, and the barriers for third party participation will be made monolithic.
IMAGINE if you woke up the day after a US Presidential Election and headlines around the the world blared, "The Majority of Americans Refused to Vote in US Presidential Election! What Does this Mean?"
To what events do you refer in September and October?
I don't foresee anything disruptive. What am I missing?

Thanks. Seeing nepotism at work in the Oval Office is scary.
No, I am not at all happy that Hillary is likely to be the first female President. On the other hand, I am glad that someone may finally be the first woman President. I have some misgivings, though.
As both white people and people of color who criticized Obama around things like a strong public option got labeled racist, I cringed because I thought such things were a disincentive to some people for voting for the next President of color. (Early on, we had criticisms about both the "subtle racism of low expectations" and "the subtle racism of high expectations." Finding a sweet spot for a valid criticism did not exist. Every criticism was racist.
During the 2016 primary, I saw the same kinds of things as people who made valid comments were called sexist and misogynist. This kind of thing may make voting for the next female who aspires to the Presidency unattractive to some people, female and male alike. People want to be able to talk about a politician and his or her policies and accomplishments (or lack thereof) without feeling as though they have to navigate a land mine of charges of bigotry.
That all came from the Hillary camp. I have never seen so
many ugly smears. Don't forget the DNC actually thought about going after Bernie's religion. Funny how many Bern supporters are interested in Jill Stein. She looks womanish. Clearly the sexism charges had no merit. Not that no man ever didn't want her because woman. But clearly the vast majority were/are interested in policy.

I'll be writing about religion in the next installment.
Hillary came for the Goldwater & stayed for the Kissinger.
In my opinion, Clinton is about as far removed from FDR's Workers Bill of Rights as anyone could be and still be identified as a Democrat. The Clintons are among the group of corporate insiders who have made a mockery of the 20th century Democratic party ideals and turned the party into a 21st century anti-worker bad dream.
It is said, once in a while, if Rahm is a Democrat, who'd want to be a Democrat? Same for Hillary & Bill Clinton.
Lots of good information -- thanks.
"The justness of individual land right is not justifiable to those to whom the land by right of first claim collectively belonged"
Thank you, duckpin. The DLC types named themselves
New Democrats to disassociate themselves from the Democrats who preceded them. They want Republicans and indies to be clear that New Democrats are trying to be like Reagan, not FDR or LBJ. At the same time, they would like the ever diminishing liberal base to remember they are Democrats. It's called trying to have it every which way, which is a quintessential Clinton trait.
I believe your analysis is correct. I would also offer up
that poll after poll on specific issues shows the American voter to be far more progressive than the leaders of either party and even Sanders when you take his views into account. Sanders matches them in many areas but not foreign policy.
We have developed a political system than does not respond to the desires of the majority and pay no penalty for that fact. This contradiction cannot long exist. The question remains: Will the inevitable pushback for democracy result in progress or will the militarized police and the full range of corporate influence, especially including the media, result in an overt authoritarianism?
"The justness of individual land right is not justifiable to those to whom the land by right of first claim collectively belonged"
I plead the Fifth.
I was having some dark thoughts today and I don't share those with an election looming.
Naming the DLC, Turd Way, etc.....
And real Democrats (i.e., actual democrats) also had a name for them; one that was a far more accurate description of them:
"Republicans".

When she criticizes she's always projecting.
The left wing media is going after trump's "claim" that Hillary's mentor (Robert Byrd) was a member of the KKK. Jeez, I don't remember that being a "claim". It's a fact.
Here's some pro Hillary site (connection to CTR unknown) not denying that Byrd was in the KKK, but claiming it was too long ago to count. Really?
https://whatdonaldtrumpliedaboutyesterday.com/2016/08/28/trump-says-kkk-...
He got better. She hasn't.
Byrd, unlike his Virginia non-relatives (he was adopted) got out of the Klan again, and in later years apologized for ever having joined it (and advised young would-be politicians to avoid it).
Hillary has yet to apologize for anything.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
This. Byrd never tried to
This. Byrd never tried to hide his past and instead took ownership of it.
Perhaps Byrd belonged in the OP, but I thought he
changed dramatically. I think of him crying out during Obama's first inauguration luncheon, when Ted Kennedy got sick.
Perhaps that is my naïveté again. It's forever creeping up on me and I don't seem able to separate it from my solid thoughts.

Oh, and, according to Plouffe, there is absolutely no reason people like Melinda Gates would contribute to the Clinton Foundation if it were not great. He had no answer, however, for why governments of several nations donated to it.
Media being what it is, Chuck Todd did not ask Plouffe if he really thought reporting $10 million in foreign donations as zero in foreign donations was really accidental.

Did you know that #SickHillary has no personal appearances planned before the debates? None! That is until Sept. 26th the day of the debate. None after the debates until Election Day. All the scheduled events are being attended by surrogates! Not Hillary.

Hit the "Who will be there" filter... filter for "Hillary Clinton"... the only events scheduled are the debates and the election.
Added in Edit: Well, its not as bad as all that, according to Hillary's Speeches she has three planned speeches, not rallys (outside of the debates) until election day: Cincinnati at the American Legion August 31, Sept. 7, at the Commander-in-Chief Forum, and Sept. 17 at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.

This is Hillary's one shot at the history books.

The answer given before
Is that fundraisers are scheduled a month out & campaign events just a few days in advance.
But she's continuing the pattern from the primaries, and I for one think that a presidential candidate needs to be working the hustings much more than Hillary is. Otherwise, one begins to wonder why she is hiding.
She's a 68-year-old woman with indifferent health
wanting to occupy perhaps the most pressure-inducing job in the world.
With a very lacklustre resume.
Frankly, as a citizen employer, she's off my possible list.

Her list of job titles is okay. Her job performance, not so much
Sadly, with much help from media, I think many Americans may conflate job titles with job performance.
