Oh dear... you actually think that works on me?

Do we need to...once again... go to your posts about Hillary when you were a JEB fan?

Lincoln Chafee finally says it: Hillary’s too corrupt to be president



He has virtually no chance to get the Democratic nomination but former Rhode Island Governor and Senator Lincoln Chafee deserves credit. He finally said what all responsible Democrats need to acknowledge about their inevitable nominee:
It’s a long record going back over decades of questionable ethical practices. People groan when I bring up Whitewater and all these things, the Rose Law Firm records; it seems like it never stops. Now, we are into the tenure of secretary of State and the emails and of course the Clinton Foundation donations at the same time the State Department is making critical decisions, combined with some of those donations by the Clinton Foundation. It’s just too close and too many ethical questions. Over my 30-year record in public office, I’ve never had any ethical questions about my behavior.​
Well, good for him. There are a few critical points worth noting here.

First, we are not talking about an isolated incident in Clinton’s career. We are talking about endemic behavior, a pattern of conduct reinforced over decades. She has inverted the essence of public service. Rather than serve the voters she has used to her office and her potential candidacy to further her own political and financial interests. It undermines the notion of accountability and ultimately of democracy itself to say that corrupt, secretive and dishonest pols deserve our indulgence.

Second, not everyone does it. Not all politicians are crooks; in fact no other politician behaves as she does.

Consider the litany just since 2009: She repeatedly violated her agreement with the administration to disclose potential conflicts of interest. While in office the State Department made decisions directly implicating donors to the foundation and her husband’s speaking fee sponsors. She violated administration guidelines in keeping her entire email system private, risking hacking and preventing oversight. When it became an issue, she destroyed tens of thousands of emails. She evaded her president’s directive not to hire a scurrilous political operative Sidney Blumenthal, but instead received and circulated his official-looking, but entirely unvetted, memos on Libya — while he was paid by the foundation and despite his business connections to those who stood to profit there. And that does not touch on issues of gross incompetence (e.g. failing to protect diplomats in Benghazi, Libya), lack of vision (e.g. no coherent response to the Arab Spring), bad judgment (e.g. Russian reset), shortsightedness (e.g. celebrating withdrawal of all troops from Iraq in 2011), and self-delusion (e.g. outreach to Iran and obsessing over the “peace process”).

And finally, Chafee’s outburst reminds us that she still refuses to be questioned about any of this in depth. She hides from real voters and the press, scoffing at the need to explain herself.

Unfortunately for the Democratic Party and for the country, only Lincoln Chafee is saying this. Members of Congress, liberal pundits and big donors have yet to say, “Hey, this is a bridge too far. We can’t justify supporting her. There is no excuse for this.” Only if they finally admit this can the party recover its soul and a candidate not ethically disqualified to hold office (let alone the presidency) can emerge. For now, Clinton — just like with Whitewater, the Rose Law Firm, the White House travel office, the Chinese finance scandals of the 1990’s, the foundation, the emails and the conflicts of interest — is getting away with it. She’s conducted herself this way for 20-plus years because she’s never paid any real price.

Seems to me we have a choice:

Hillary - proven liar, incoherent Secretary of State, warmonger (voted FOR invading Iraq, to say nothing of Libya), racist (100% supporter of the "super predator" theory and the "tough on crime" legislation that locked up a generation of non-white men and women, mostly for victimless crimes like possession of personal-use amounts of marijuana), amateur player with national security (apparently doesn't understand what a classification stamp means), and notorious flip-flopper on just about everything from the TTP to the aforementioned war and racist prison policies;

OR

Trump - has said some rude things.

I don't like Trump much, but sometimes you gotta vote for the lesser of two evils, and Hillary has spent the last quarter of a century proving beyond the shadow of a doubt that she has exactly one principle: power for Hillary Clinton.

The whole point in having Trump for prez is that he has no intention of following the script.He will dump the political and bureaucratic establishments on their collective heads and start running the country as a business.



And that will be an unmitigated disaster. A country is not a business.

We already have, I suppose.

Well I agree with you of course. I mostly was referencing if he will continue accusations against other forum members when all they need to do is go to the archive and do a quick search on his past threads and posts.

REAMS of the stuff.

Genius!

Under "What Hillary imagines" hashtag...

That she'll be able to pardon herself

What Hillary Imagines is a world where every kid goes to college. So the colleges have more money. So she can charge more for speeches.

What Hillary Imagines: bright orange pantsuits, Bologna lunch,
Handcuffs, caged, saying "Yes, your honor", "I'd like to make a phone call

What Hillary Imagines is voters ignoring her email scandal, Benghazi, Libya, War in Iraq, NAFTA, and her husbands affairs.

What Hillary imagines - is that Bill didn't sexually assault, harrass, rape or impregnate other women. There's ur "woman" candidate, idiots.
(Oh and that special tweet was from a tweeter called DrBernieorBust)

I do have a question, Eagle. I'm asking you because you can be rational sometimes.

Why do right-wingers think Bill Clinton's affairs are a criticism of Hillary?

His treatment of women was accepted by her. Her treatment of sexual assault victims of Bill's is inconsistent with her message.
