A quick thought from a wingnut.

I don't think I was the only one who was not impressed with the"press conference" yesterday. Mrs. Clinton reminded me of herself from the 90's, which makes me wonder if she's a little out of touch with the times. As of today, I am removing the final 'e' from inevitable, and will now refer to her as the inevitabl Democratic nominee. I'll be curious to see if I feel the need to remove additional letters as time goes by. Peace, cw.

was the likelihood that would answer the allegations in an off-putting manner. And she did. Her "convenience" argument doesn't pass the proverbial giggle test, and her admission that she deleted thousands of emails breathes new life into the Bengazi non-scandal.

HRC is a brilliant attorney. Unfortunately, she looks at every political issue as though she's arguing before the Court of Appeals when she should be trying to convince a jury.

idea that Clinton is for women's rights.

"I don't think any fair person can challenge Clinton's commitment to women's rights. But just yesterday she gave a speech at the UN on the 20th Anniversary of her famous "women's rights are human rights speech," the chances of prominent coverage would have been nil but for the chance to ask about eGhazi."

What a bunch of crap Armando.

I don't think any fair person can challenge Clinton's commitment to Wall Street gangster capitalism, neoliberalism, and U.S. imperialism which are the most destructive and racist elements on the planet to human and women's rights. How can someone be for women's rights when they work so hard to destroy them.

the usual crap argument:

There are going to be effectively TWO people running for president in the fall of 2016. We already know that anyone crawling out of the GOP is untenable for anyone that considers themselves a liberal.

We can spend all year whining about who the Democrat is, and how they aren't what WE want them to be.

And after all that....YOU make the case of how there is "no difference" between anyone from the GOP and them, starting with Clinton. Because the whole purpose of this very site is that there is a difference.

Seriously. It got so bad there was this gem from Choco8:

Just because there isn't a choice that makes a difference....doesn't mean there isn't a difference between your choices.

I mean, huh?!

I have been posting my thoughts liberally here and over at GOS about this. It really does not matter what were her reasons or if it was legal or not, it is bad politically for HRC and her press conference did nothing but add fuel to the fire. I predicted a long time ago that she would implode. That is the big problem with the powers that be in the Democratic party declaring the inevitability of someone and clearing the field for her.

like romney's "47%," this is not going to go away. for the partisan rethugs, they smell blood.

for regular people, this is further evidence (as if any were needed) of hillary's arrogance and elitism. it's pretty obvious that she bent the rules because she was pretty sure she could get away with it.

Dan Metcalfe, the founding director of the Justice Department's Office of Information Policy (OIP), which is supposed to ensure government agencies are following FOIA guidelines, blasted Clinton and the State Department for allowing her to use personal email during the four years she served as Secretary of State.

Metcalfe told VICE News it is clear to him that Clinton's exclusive use of private email was a "blatant circumvention of the FOIA [in addition to] the Federal Records Act by people on both sides of it who unquestionably knew better." ...

"She should have had a government email account, first and foremost, and then also a personal email account that could be used for official business only occasionally when necessary," he said. "What should have happened is what happens when any agency head takes over an agency: The top career person for administrative matters meets with her to explain the do's and don'ts about the requirements of such things as ethics standards, the Federal Records Act, the FOIA, and the Privacy Act. One can only imagine when that meeting was held, Clinton pushed hard to get such special treatment, given the fact that any use of a personal email account at all is not flatly prohibited. That got turned on its head when she was allowed to use a personal email account exclusively."

They watched multiple right-wing sugar daddies (the Koch brothers, Sheldon Adelson, Foster Fleiss, et al.) back multiple candidates, which kept Romney from winning the nomination until more than halfway through the primaries. After watching a wounded Romney emerge, they concluded that they had to herd all the fat-wallet donors behind one candidate--and do it ASAP.

as though "she was too big to fail?"

Someone had to know that this was not 'the spirit of the law.'

I'm willing to bet that I'd be sitting in Fort Leavenworth, KS, if I had done this during my DOD tenure.

Wink

(Maybe a slight exaggeration. But I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be considering a run for any federal office--much less for POTUS.)

blood hounds smelling a prey they want to kill. I really would like to understand more about that video. There was the suicide story of Vincent Foster that has "puzzled" a lot of people back then and has put some serious doubts on what was not kosher. The video Big Al posted in the other diary really is disturbing. I am not sure I want to associate with it without knowing who made it. It brings back bad memories. Isn't the video a right-wing attack video?

once I saw Ann Coulter, my curiosity sorta dissipated, LOL!

Seriously, I'd be curious to know if anyone does figure out if this is the movie that the Court decision was based upon. Hope you leave a comment.

[My Wi-Fi connections are sorta slow, except for the one that I use for videos and streaming, which is a faster speed; and I'm saving those MBs to use for clipping C-Span videos.]

recognized the name from the lawsuit. It might warrant looking at the Wiki entry below.

Too pushed to verify, myself. But, if you're interested, the following 'might be' applicable:

Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC

Citizens United v. FEC

Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, No. 08-205, 558 U.S. 310 (2010)[dead link], is a U.S. constitutional law case dealing with the regulation of campaign spending by organizations. The United States Supreme Court held that the First Amendment prohibited the government from restricting independent political expenditures by a nonprofit corporation. The principles articulated by the Supreme Court in the case have also been extended to for-profit corporations, labor unions and other associations.

In the case, the conservative lobbying group Citizens United wanted to air a film critical of Hillary Clinton and to advertise the film during television broadcasts in apparent violation of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (commonly known as the McCain–Feingold Act or "BCRA").[2] Section 203 of BCRA defined an "electioneering communication" as a broadcast, cable, or satellite communication that mentioned a candidate within 60 days of a general election or 30 days of a primary, and prohibited such expenditures by corporations and unions. The United States District Court for the District of Columbia held that §203 of BCRA applied and prohibited Citizens United from advertising the film Hillary: The Movie in broadcasts or paying to have it shown on television within 30 days of the 2008 Democratic primaries.[1][3] The Supreme Court reversed this decision, striking down those provisions of BCRA that prohibited corporations (including nonprofit corporations) and unions from making independent expenditures and "electioneering communications".[2] The majority decision overruled Austin v. Michigan Chamber of Commerce (1990) and partially overruled McConnell v. Federal Election Commission (2003).[4] The Court, however, upheld requirements for public disclosure by sponsors of advertisements (BCRA §201 and §311). The case did not involve the federal ban on direct contributions from corporations or unions to candidate campaigns or political parties, which remain illegal in races for federal office.[5]

The site below says it is the same movie.

http://www.popmodal.com/video/19073/Hillary-Clinton-Exposed-Movie-She-Ba...

But the titles are not the same.

[Guess if someone has time to watch them both, they can figure it out.]

Good luck.

Ann Coulter -- I know, GAAAAAHHH!!!: If Warren/Sanders/Sherrod Brown/Anybody with the progressive cred like these doesn't run, we'll get HRC and we'll lose.

Welcome President Jeb Bush everybody! Or, perhaps, Scott Walker.

I'm planning on hiding out in a bunker come 2016.
