The Hillary-thread

[pErvinalia]

I think there's a general misconception among Trumpeteers that criticism of their preserved candidate is somehow more than merely wrong, but malicious and vindictive bias in favour of Clinton. This isn't necessarily so but makes addressing Trump's erratic behaviour and shortcomings almost impossible.

Yep. You have seen it in Britain as well. The Corbynista's think every comment about him is pure negative malicious criticism.

No they don't. But they can see it for what most of it is - sour grapes from the privileged elite.

[Scot Dutchy]

Of course they do. Supporting the unelectable is pure madness and needs immediate medical treatment.

[pErvinalia]

You are moving the goal posts. Supporting the allegedly unelectable =/= assessing criticism as being "pure negative malicious"

Miss Universe has an obligation, just as do professional athletes to be in shape. Trump was absolutely right to call her out on that.

You are really... Trump is a cunt and useless one at that. She probably did not allow him to poke her. Trump has an obligation to be human which he fails every time he wakes up in the morning.

I'm right
And if you bitched about your favorite footy star being out of shape, that'd make you sexist too.

Dont have a 'footy' star. Trump is a useless lump of shit.

[pErvinalia]

That's insulting to useless lumps of shit.

My apologies to the lump of shit.

Julian Assange says he has some significant news about Hillary -- http://heatst.com/politics/october-surp ... -concerns/

The scuttlebutt I've heard is that it will involve arms to ISIS. But, I have no source for that other than some friends who "heard."

Hillary Clinton on Julian Assange: "Can't we just drone the guy?" https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/782906224937410562

I love the use of "drone" as a verb.

In the murky world that is the Syrian "revolution", any choice to send arms to a so-called "moderate" group of rebels runs the risk of those arms "leaking" into groups supporting ISIS...

Assange had nothing. Hillary's drone missed him. Assange talks at 2 hours.

Wall street speech: political sausage

During a talk before the National Multi-Housing Council in 2013, she talked about the need to keep political negotiations secret, for instance, citing the example of Abraham Lincoln's wheeling and dealing to get the 13th amendment passed. "I mean, politics is like sausage being made," she said. "It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be. But if everybody’s watching, you know, all of the back room discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position."
