Reacting to the news, Bob; just took my shoes off and beat them on my desk.

@Shahryar and wondering how I missed seeing about Kerry throwing his hat in the ring for 2020

Because it wouldn't be Hills without a little nastiness, implying that anyone who's asking about the most recent candidate (but not the candidate from 14 years ago) must be sexist.

@Mark from Queens mine too, but what if she ran and lost to Trump again? That would be hysterically historic, I think.

a sort of repository of video clips for posterity, that I started way just after the DNC Convention of what really happened there.

Behold once again the vociferous opposition to the opening of the convention, with loud boo's for Hillary. This poor woman delivering the things is so flustered and doesn't seem to believe a word she is being told to say saying:

I didn't remember this: "We're going to start with the Pledge of Allegiance." What fucking Fascists.

Then here come to boo's:

Which is why they put the Craiglist ads out to fill the seats of the Bernie delegates that were literally forced out because of their vocal disagreement. (remember after a couple of days they sent around cue cards, or was it a xerox sheet of what to chant when the Bernie supporters got loud? "If they chant 'No More War,' you say "USA!USA!USA!'")

Hillary Clinton is Now a Victim of ‘Socialists’

Now the endlessly put-upon (yet fabulously wealthy) and eye-rolling Hillary has found some more scapegoats for her epic fail: first, “socialists” in the activist cadres and primary and caucus electorate of the Democratic Party, then younger voters, and finally greedy corporate chieftains whose greed has turned good Democrats into “socialists.” The “lying neoliberal warmonger” says she was victimized because of her identification as a “capitalist” after big business executives’ have sadly given capitalism a bad name—especially with young people.

In an interview with Time Inc. brands executive Alan Murray this month, she said that her economic policies were “probably” a tough sell with primary voters: “It’s hard to know, but I mean if you’re in the Iowa caucuses and 41 percent of Democrats are socialists or self-described socialists, and I’m asked ‘Are you a capitalist?’ and I say, ‘Yes, but with appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability.’ You know, that probably gets lost in the ‘Oh my gosh, she’s a capitalist!’”

Take that, Henry Wallace.

Pity the plight of the poor enlightened capitalist, Hillary Clinton, whose position high in the American Oligarchy’s permanent political class has permitted her to accumulate a net worth of at least $45 million.

Last year when I began pointing out that the Russia-hacked-DNC story appeared to be a CIA psyop the one thing I didn’t point out was that the CIA is not an evil entity separate from the the real world or the political world. The CIA is, in essence, capitalism’s equivalent of the Depression’s “coal and iron police” or the Pinkertons. Looking back on the Clintons’ history they each seem to have been recruited during their college years, as were many young people during the anti-war, black power and women’s movements emerging in the late sixties. 1968 was a pivotal year. Bobby Kennedy was about to end the Vietnam War and expose the CIA as murderers of his brother. Martin Luther King was about to change race relations in a way we now can only imagine.

The people who were a part of that coup in 1963 had to create a political world where they were safe from public exposure and had to have “replacements” for the normal ways that politicians rose to power. Filling the playing field with their own was necessary. The Clintons and the DLC have, through their careers, done much of the heavy lifting for the CIA and its clients.

There was an article in 2007 in the New York Times explaining Hillary’s “radicalization” of sorts from being a Goldwater Girl to being a Democrat in the whirl of 1968. The problem with the Times article, besides being unconvincing in light of the last decade, is that in retrospect it wasn’t really very convincing in 2007. For example, Hillary joined Eugene McCarthy’s “anti-war” campaign right after she switched from being a Republican on campus. Since then many researchers have discovered that McCarthy’s campaign was heavily infiltrated by the CIA. His campaign spokesman, whose name slips my mind at the moment, was CIA, as were many others who worked for him. Hillary was one of them.

Then Hillary went to the Republican National Convention, a peculiar thing for a newly-converted Republican to do. Then she spent the summer in Washington, DC as an intern for the Republican delegation in Congress. She wrote a speech on Vietnam for Representative Melvin Laird who in six months would become Nixon’s Secretary of Defense. Quite a curious turn for an anti-war Democrat.

When viewed with the above article Hillary Clinton was never really a Democrat. She merely changed her label.

Don’t hold your breath until Hillary Clinton finally melts like the Wicked Witch of the West and disappears from our political narrative. The worst candidate who ever lived, The Queen of You Owe Me, lost the election the old fashioned way. She EARNED it! Mean, greedy, arrogant, paranoid, ever the “victim” of others’ machinations, she was/is the female Richard Nixon. Unfortunately for the rest of us, this Sore Loser’s terrible revenge is to be one of the original conniving and corrupt co-conspirators – the intelligence (duh)community, the Obama administration, the Dementedcrat Party and its MSM amen corner – who have injected into our political bloodstream and body politic, the malignant cancer of PutinDidItIsm, for which there may be no cure.

...Kamala Harris has many things in common with Hillary. Both are high strung and have abusive tempers. Both insist on luxury in everything (five star hotels, first class air travel, $1,000 dinners for two and more).

Damn, revisiting this whole thing again is making my blood boil once again. But it needs not to be swept under the rug.

@Mark from Queens

No you lying sack of dawg poo. It was you and your hubby that gave capitalism a bad name as well as the tan suited president that just left office.

Her saying she is sticking around to help the people who voted for her is exactly why people didn't vote for after she called us deplorables. Presidents are supposed to work for every one of us whether they voted for them or not. Not that they do, but they at least give the appearance of doing it.

41 percent of Democrats are socialists or self-described socialists, and I’m asked ‘Are you a capitalist?’ and I say, ‘Yes, but with appropriate regulation and appropriate accountability.’ You know, that probably gets lost in the ‘Oh my gosh, she’s a capitalist!’”

Totally tone deaf!

Which is why they put the Craiglist ads out to fill the seats of the Bernie delegates that were literally forced out because of their vocal disagreement. (remember after a couple of days they sent around cue cards, or was it a xerox sheet of what to chant when the Bernie supporters got loud? "If they chant 'No More War,' you say "USA!USA!USA!'")

And yet they expected Bernie's supporters to vote for her and her supporters are mad as hell at those that refused to. Why should they have? Gahh. If she is catapulted into being the nominee I'm sure that there is going to be violence at the convention. Might make '68 look like a picnic.

Great comment, Mark!

@Shahryar

to see the poll that Bernie won so decisively (fun to write that!) and the resulting whining. I saw an amusing exchange today that went basically like this:

person 1: She won and is our rightful President
person 2: she got more votes!
person 3: that's not how it works. She lost the way the rules stand.
person 4: so the rules say it's ok for Russia to meddle with our elections?
persons 5, 6, 7 etc.: Russia!

poor person 3!

@Not Henry Kissinger

she remains bothered that she’s expected to close the door on it.

Clearly nobody in her inner circle has the guts to tell Hillary the door is already nailed shut.

Instead, like Norma, Her loyal retinue of sycophants continue on as if Her is still a big star, and not the washed up has been they all know Her to be.

So long as Her doesn't read any differently in the dailies, Her fantasy (along with their paychecks) can continue.

@chambord last I heard they couldn’t give the tickets away. They were downsizing venues, running Groupon specials, etc. Not that the Clueless Clintons would take the hint.

Well, she needed some air time. Whatever happened to the Bill and Hill talking tour. I think that was their way of checking her popularity to decide if she should run.

Why do some tv pundits think that candidates for the Democratic nomination need to kiss Hillary's ring? They took umbrage at Sanders' answer to the question.

@earthling1

mail a wooden stake to DNC Headquarters.
With Her name on it.
Maybe then they will get the message.
