@Fionnsboy she shows absolutely no remorse for the amount of suffering she has caused in the countries in the Middle East.
Her cackling with glee after watching Gaddafi's brutal death should have disqualified her from holding any office in the future.
As you mentioned, she was running on creating a no fly zone over Syria, just like the ones she supported in Iraq during her husband's tenure and Libya which was done on false pretenses.

Because of her votes and actions, hundreds of millions are dead and many hundreds of millions more are homeless and living is squalid refugee camps.

When we brought these things up to her supporters, they flagged us for writing right wing talking points.
Their refusal to see her for her warmongering ways means that they were fine with the numbers of deaths that she causes.
And this goes for everyone who thinks that Obama was the greatest president since FDR.

What the real truth is about the Obama presidency is this.
During his tenure the democrats lost control of both house of congress after losing 1,000 seats because of his betrayal of what he campaigned on.

The republicans are now in a position to dismantle almost every regulation that was put in place since the FDR administration. If these regulations are rolled back, then Americans are going to die. It is that simple.
Because of the incompetence of both Obama and the democrats, the states have shifted more dangerously to the right, and the Koch brothers are getting their agendas done left and right.
Things like rolling back the minimum wage, laws that protect minorities and LGBT persons.

The republicans are very close to having enough seats in congress and state governorships that they can do a constitutional convention.
Gee, I wonder what their agendas will be if that happens?

Each day I wake up to more news about what state governors are trying to do to their constituents, and it is very frighting. Of course the mainstream media isn't covering any of this and so people do not know how much crap is possibly coming their way.

Clinton started this betrayal of democratic values and Obama finished it. Now both of them are off playing in the sunset and making tons of money as a reward for their service.

#16.4 I have no doubt of that. I post political screeds on Facebook, and get two likes; I post pics of my two dogs and get 100 likes.

The thing is, HER is a perfect (alas, too perfect) Hollywood casting dream of everything wrong with Democrats since Reagan, and for those of us who remember those Dems who made us dream dreams, be better citizens, and aspire, who fought for better wages and stronger unions, she is of course a lodestone, a lightning rod, of richly-deserved outrage and calumny at what she and her ilk have done to the world. For example, there are still 22 veterans a day that take their own lives, the balance of them from Operation Iraqi Freedom (gag!) and (not having even bothered to read the debriefing report) her support for Bush et al's war (which support she later admitted was done for political expediency-- not that there was ever any doubt of that) should have automatically, eternally, and irrevocably removed her from public life forever to say nothing of tossing that whole cabal (Bush, Cheney, Feith, Wolfowitz, Abrahms, Libnby, Perle, Rice, etc) into jail.

But the larger issue in some respects is her utter lack of compassion, remorse, and sorrow for the murderous havoc she helped create, havoc that goes on to this day, untold and inexpressible, and not just among our veterans-- but in countries all over the world. That all of this unimaginable pain and suffering she brought into being is viewed by her (as it obviously is) as nothing more than an obstacle to get what she wanted (higher office); and then if you couple that with the continued thirst for aggression and regime change (and there is no better demonstration of that than her cackling over Qaddafi, and her calling for a no-fly zone in Syria during the last debate) how can anyone not conclude that what we have here is not just a sociopath, but a psychopath?

Admittedly Type A personalities, where their own ends always justify the means, people never troubled by what we call a conscience, have always plagued humanity; what troubles me is that seemingly, at this late stage, we, like HER, have learned absolutely nothing from experience. Therefore I see my repeated expression of the utter revulsion I have for HER and her ilk as a necessary shouting from the rooftops-- it is every citizens duty to kick these people to the curb, as loudly and as often as we can.

The Psychopaths That Be don't get the difference between 'mine' and 'yours' and/or 'public ownership', unlike many well-brought-up 5-year-olds.

Mayor Bloomberg’s army
The mayor of New York and his police commissioner reveal just how comfortable they are with autocracy
Alex Pareene

Billionaire New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has his own army! No, it’s not a private security firm, like Blackwater. It’s actually, according to the mayor, the New York City Police Department.

Bloomberg, again threatening vaguely to make that presidential run that the American people are decidedly not calling for, told MIT last night that he doesn’t even need to be president, because all of his autocratic desires are fulfilled by running America’s most populous city as his private fiefdom.

“I have my own army in the NYPD, which is the seventh biggest army in the world. I have my own State Department, much to Foggy Bottom’s annoyance. We have the United Nations in New York, and so we have an entree into the diplomatic world that Washington does not have,” Mayor Bloomberg said. ...

This whole awesome article should be read in full at source - this is why multi-millionaires/billionaires and other self-interests need to be kept the hell out of politics and public policy-making.

#18.1

NYPD is not private. It's governmental, just city government, not state or federal government.

@mimi you are right Germany must be "way better than in the huge United States" for refugees. Where are the California Ds now? How 'bout now? Stupid losers. meh

California

8 July 2017
Last week, more than 30 inmates of the Adelanto Detention Facility in California began a hunger strike protesting the lack of medical care and demanding their release pending their immigration court dates. This is the fourth hunger strike since June 12 at the for-profit facility, located in the desert town of Adelanto in San Bernardino County, which is used to jail immigrants awaiting deportation. The jail can hold 1,900 inmates and was at near capacity in March, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
...
According to the strikers, bond rates are kept at unreasonably high amounts to deny detainees release, and ICE lied to them about their role in the issue. Isaac Lopez Castillo, a spokesman for the group, told activists by telephone, “ICE lied to us, because with the bond issue, we believed that [what ICE told us] was true, that only a judge can decide. But now we realize that’s not true, that these bonds are given by ICE. ICE can do something to lower the bonds ... they can parole us without bond. We feel that they tricked us, and we are going to continue because we aren’t anyone’s toys.”

In another statement the group declared, “We are from El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala. We ask for your attention, because Adelanto is one of the prisons which exists for those who are seeking political asylum, and in reality our records are clean, none of us have prior criminal records. The bail is set impossibly high, and it’s a humiliating joke because we are poor, we don’t have that kind of money.”

Reportedly, a group of Haitian immigrant detainees have joined their Central American comrades on hunger strike.

Yeah, don't say Clintons. MoFos! RATM - Killing in the Name

At least six people have died at the Adelanto jail in the last five years, three of them since March 22, making it the “deadliest immigration detention center in the country.” In April, Nicaraguan national Osmar Epifanio Gonzalez-Gadba died from injuries after attempting suicide by hanging a week prior. He had been held in solitary confinement in a one-man room when guards reportedly discovered him.

edited: removed ICE = Stasi after California, because State and Federal are different even though results are same. Private prison systems for the win, aided and abetted by cash taking politicians. Like I said before, from Local Dog Catcher to State Assembly to Federal Congress, California has corruption Covered. Clintons people working for the Trump lobby today, "That's the system." I think Clintons should switch to the Republican Party, that would make sense. The DNC is bankrupt why not.

#19.1
I believe you miss. Germans (even the little people) in general have a very clear opinion of the US, namely that they are extremely unsocial, mean in their way to profit from the poor and not interested in closing the class gap among their own population let alone from the world population. That is not even a point of discussion among most Germans. Undertone is - and was - that Germans display a general anti-American disgust with the US political flavor of social injustice and their capitalism adoring attitudes.

Therefore people here don't even bother to personify that, be it on to H. Clinton, Obama, or Sanders or some Republican. In that sense I meant to say, don't worry, nobody cares. If you think anybody who cares and tries to understand American foreign policies in Germany doesn't know and have no opinion about the US foreign policies, you err.

Germans had to be polite and smile at Uncle Sam for over sixty years, Berlin folks especially. We still have to be thankful for the Marshall plan and all the sacrifices the American soldiers made, who were drafted and having been forced to fight and defeat the Nazis and Hitler and later to be present in Germany to defend us from the Ruskies. I mean, it didn't escape the average German my age. And many Germans were grateful in earnest.

But that earnest gratefulness dissipated in the next, second next and the third next generation, starting in the mid-sxities, Vietnam war etc. There is still rarely a German politician who doesn't start his official talk with paying tribute to the help and support the Americans treated us with. It's just ... hmmm.... done a bit too much. It's a default part of any political speech of German politicians and sometimes it causes eye-rolling. But that's just it.

I can try to explain to my family members and friends several times, what is the difference between our social support system and the lacking equivalent in the US. They don't understand it and don't grasp it. And when they do, they come up with a generalized, and not a personalized critical view point towards the US. There you have it ... your anti-Americanism.

Our refugees ... we have them, tons of them, they are pretty well taken care of, way better than in the huge United States, where most American poor citizens are way worse off than the current refugees and asylym seekers in Germany. Of course, dear Mr. Trump, has no clue what an ... he is in criticizing Merkel for her insistance to care of and take in refugees.

So, yeah, somehow we know where the refugee crisis is coming from. It's obvious. Africans come to Europe and the US, they want a chance to eat a piece of the pie. They don't need a H.Clinton for that. They come anyway, as refugees or immigrants, legally, illegally, with fake papers or honestly, with scholarships or dirt poor. You really think that is not known?

ok, may be I am the only one who knew ???

@mimi

I have family who live in both Hamburg and Berlin. They were all mystified why Americans would vote for Trump. I did my best to explain in my bad German. Perhaps my family is atypical but they seem to grasp why American tax payers pay half as much as German citizens do.

I also remember my family, along with thousands of other Germans, rhapsodizing with the rest of the world when Obama came to visit Berlin in 2008. People, no matter their ethnicity, are not entirely immured to the lure of propaganda, despite their anti-Americanism. That was my point. Perhaps I misunderstood your point in your OP.

Personally I would love nothing more than to forget about the Clintons, and I wish they would go away, but they won't. We deal with and react to her/their roles in our lives and country because we live here, and we are indoctrinated from childhood to believe that our participation in politics and elections is important, relevant, and even a duty as a citizen. Many of us here at c99% are questioning that, or have rejected it as false, but most Americans believe it and it is deeply embedded in our psyche.

So as long as the Clintons are actively influencing American and world politics, people here will be reacting to them. I don't expect Germans or other countries to have the same feels about them. That's understood, but still it doesn't make us feel better about them.

As for her role in the midterms, hopefully it will be to keep helping democrats lose and the party implode.
