Team Hillary spikes football, but even WaPo says this is "worse than we thought"

Submitted by bikingforkarma on Tue, 07/05/2016 - 10:30pm

Without fail, the neoliberal talking heads online today were out in force trying to spin today as a complete vindication of their disingenuous shilling. They have been pumping the narrative for weeks that anyone who asked questions about this email scandal was either "sexist" or part of a "right-wing conspiracy".

Guess the pro-Clinton newspaper Washington Post is now..... a right wing conspiracy theorist?

This was one day people

That's all it was.

I was not surprised. If anything surprised me it was that Comey went on so long with his statement.

But the reality is nothing has changed. And nothing will change unless we fight to make it so.

We can crawl into a hole, or ...

We can fight, which means organize, coordinate, cooperate and never give up.

Bernie is just one guy. I love Bernie.

Combating Name Recognition: One Key Aspect that I think the Progressive Movement is Currently Lacking

Looking at some of my local CA races after voting a few weeks ago, it seems obvious that many Bernie Sanders supporters had no idea who the other legitimate liberals in the downticket races were. Bernie got 45% of the Democratic vote based on official numbers, so I expected that the rare Democrats that supported Bernie would at least capture a decent amount of his voters in their respective areas. Unfortunately, that was the case (at least in my areas).

It depends on what the meaning of "indictment" is...

So it wasn't the indictment we wanted; the indictment where Hillary gets led off wearing an orange pantsuit and handcuffs, but, it was an 'indictment' nevertheless. Nowhere did Comey say 'nothing to see here, move along'. Comey made the incompetence, the lying, the arrogance, and the corruption real and on record. No longer will Hillary be able to hide behind her lies. Her word against Comey's - give me a break.

Credit where it's due: I saw this item referenced over at Kossacks for Sanders, and was shocked. Last summer, a Navy reservist was successfully brought to conviction by the FBI for essentially what Clinton got away with scot free. The reservist was fined ($7500) and sentenced to two years of probation. Imagine if same deal were offered to Hillary, and she would be running for president while on probation!

Nobody before Clinton ever abused their political power so as to INSIST on using a personal email server instead of a government sanctioned solution. And because she was the first to do so, Comey advises that our nation let Clinton walk. Nice.

I was just a little peeved by a diary over on TOP: ""Comey: Only Facts Matter." No charges." Here is the reply I wrote but never published ...

Only facts matter. What a title. On a diary that is extraordinarily light on details, and groaning-ly heavy with cherry picked talking points. So let's talk for a moment about facts, shall we?
