Submitted by HenryAWallace on Mon, 10/17/2016 - 11:45amI've been time and writers' blocked from this series1 about Hillary's hypocrisy since September 21 and Gropegate hasn't been helping. However, I know I owe it to our Hills to soldier on.2
Dear Hillary, Environmentalists Have a Life: Trying to Save the Planet From People Like You
Submitted by Steven D on Mon, 10/17/2016 - 11:12amAs we are now well aware, Hillary Clinton doesn't think people who are concerned for the environment are leading worthwhile lives, certainly not a life as wonderful and fabulous and useful as hers.
CNN: It's illegal to read Wikileaks
Submitted by gjohnsit on Mon, 10/17/2016 - 11:06amYes, just glancing at information that wasn't filtered by the news media, even things that the FBI issued a subpoena for and could only be found by a hacker, makes you a wanted thought-criminal.

Submitted by don mikulecky on Sun, 10/16/2016 - 2:33pmThe role of elections in the system we live in is to distract people from the hard job of surviving the crushing imperialistic oligarchy that dominates everything. It is working very well one more time.
Let us start by recognizing that fascism and imperialism are the epitome of the reductionist philosophy. Break a complex whole into parts and lose the reality of the whole while being fascinated by the parts. Elections are but a part of this scheme, but a central part.
Imagine the names were swapped
Submitted by gjohnsit on Sun, 10/16/2016 - 1:17pmI would like to do a thought experiment.
I'm going to present three recent news articles, and I would like the C99P to imagine what the news media coverage would be like if the names "Hillary Clinton" and "Donald Trump" were swapped in these articles.
