Hillary Clinton

This Socialist is Now a Part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

I think of myself as a socialist, and would be called such by most people, but this is the most sane video I've seen today, and it was posted by a user called "The Right Wing Conspiracy". I really didn't want to post this video I found linked from reddit, I feel embarrassed, but I wanted to share this with y'all. It's actually a decent vid, but I feel like apologizing for posting it.

Did Bernie give his list to the DNC?

Submitted by Writerinres on Mon, 09/26/2016 - 9:25am

Lately, I've been getting unsolicited emails asking for contributions from Dems running for office; Clintonistas all. Today it was Chris Coons, running for the Senate in Delaware. This despite having an active Weblock app on my iPad. The only reason this may be happening is that Bern gave Clinton his list of contributors. I closed my Actblue account and left Bern's website when he quit his campaign. Anybody else experiencing this?

This Clinton mystery is getting out of hand

This is interesting. Some are saying that Hillary's rally in Greensboro was a fake, done on a green screen. The most extensive analysis is here (long, 30 mins)

Here's my response:

This is potentially the worst political meme ever. Are you guys TRYING to make her lose?

You ever read any George Lakoff or get the skinny on framing? Don't Think of an Elephant?

How Crazy Is Donald Trump, Really?

Submitted by joe shikspack on Sun, 09/18/2016 - 11:26am

How crazy is Donald Trump, or more appropriately, how far outside of the mainstream of US politics is he?

This week over at The Intercept, Robert Mackey posted a piece about Trump's policy proposal to use the US military as the muscle to seize the oil resources of Middle Eastern countries.

His article recounts the many occasions that Trump has touted this policy in interviews and suggests that we can "better understand what Trump really is," by viewing him through this lens.

To give you a flavor of the commentary that Mackey is referring to, here is a condensed version of some of Trump's word salad that Mackey quotes from an appearance on the Bill O'Reilly show (emphasis mine):

"In the old days, when you had wars, you win, right? You win. To the victor belong the spoils. So when we go to Iraq, we spend $1.4 trillion so far and thousands of lives are lost, right? And not to mention all the poor guys and gals with one arm and no arm and all the problems, right? ... I like the old system better: You won a war, you stay there, and you keep the oil. And you know, then those people will not have died in vain. Forget the money we spent, they will not have died in vain. ... You stay and protect the oil, and you take the oil and you take whatever is necessary for them and you take what’s necessary for us and we pay our self back $1.5 trillion or more. We take care of Britain, we take care of other countries that helped us, and we don’t be so stupid."

Mackey goes to some effort to demonstrate that Trump is a lunatic version of Smedley Butler's nightmare.
