Thread: 2016 Democratic US Presidential Candidates

You should read Manufacturing Consent booner. It is a classic.

Hitlary is a loser and she'll figure out a way to lose again. See 2007 when she was also The Anointed One(TM) but managed to get her butt kicked by an unknown community organizer who actually had a personality.

(Tinfoil hat firmly in place.) Is it possible that the Dems actually hate Her Royal Thighness(TM) so much that they'd like to dump her? She's being challenged by Obummer's Executive Branch(TM) including the FBI and the DOJ and others. MSM pundits don't seem to be protecting her this time.

Is this The Beginning Of The End, Again?

Well, we can only hope: Democrats are nearing full-on panic mode.

Dems near Clinton panic mode | TheHill

When that last poll came out where 58% responded that HRC 'flat-out lied' about her server didn't have any classified material sorta spell the end (hopefully) for this old nag.

Hillary would be the best candidate so far with financial matters. She's gone from saying "We're flat out broke" when they left the White House to saying "We flat out have $USD200 million" in just seven years. How long can an ex pres with a $400K retirement pension and a $200 mil bank account and a wife who can get millions from nefarious foreign governments continue to pretend to represent "the little people"?

That beotch wouldn't hand you a glass of water if you were on fire and yet she pretends to be of The Compassionate Party(TM).

On ABC’s This Week, former Sec. of State Colin Powell admitted that he used a private email account for public business. Powell’s explanation of why he used a private email account amounted to a death blow for Republicans who are trying to build a scandal out of Hillary Clinton’s emails.

Transcript via ABC’s This Week:

STEPHANOPOULOS: But I do want to ask you one final question on this Hillary Clinton e-mail controversy. Which, of course, put you back in the news a bit this week, as well.
You were secretary of State during the early days of e-mails. You were one of the first secretaries, I believe, to set up a personal e-mail account. And you pushed to modernize the State Department’s system.
Based on your experience, what do you make of these revelations this week and what would you recommend that she do now?
POWELL: I — I can’t speak to a — Mrs. Clinton and what she should do now. That would be inappropriate.
What I did when I entered the State Department, I found an antiquated system that had to be modernized and modernized quickly.
So we put in place new systems, bought 44,000 computers and put a new Internet capable computer on every single desk in every embassy, every office in the State Department. And then I connected it with software.


STEPHANOPOULOS: So they want…
POWELL: (INAUDIBLE) have a stack of them.
STEPHANOPOULOS: — they’ve asked you to turn them over, but you don’t have them, is that it?
POWELL: I don’t have any — I don’t have any to turn over. I did not keep a cache of them. I did not print them off. I do not have thousands of pages somewhere in my personal files.
And, in fact, a lot of the e-mails that came out of my personal account went into the State Department system. They were addressed to State Department employees and the State.gov domain. But I don’t know if the servers the State Department captured those or not.

And most — they were all unclassified and most of them, I think, are pretty benign, so I’m not terribly concerned even if they were able to recover them.
Powell’s description of his own emails as pretty benign matches up with Rep. Adam Schiff’s description of the Hillary Clinton emails that the Benghazi committee has read. According to Sen. Chuck Schumer, Clinton’s private email system was based on the system that Powell used.

The technology available in most federal agencies is woefully outdated. It isn’t surprising that appointees would use technology that is available in the private sector because it is better. Powell’s emails from his personal account went into the State Department system because they were addressed to employees in State. The same is the case with the Clinton emails. Powell’s discussion of his own experience with his personal email account adds credibility to the claim that there is nothing to see here.
If Hillary Clinton broke the law, as some Republicans are claiming, then Colin Powell also broke the law.
The more that is revealed about the use of private email, the more it looks like Republicans are trying to make something out of nothing. It has been a bad day for the Republican Clinton email scandal, and it is only going to get worse for the Republican Party as they continue to go down what looks like a dead end.

Yeah, looks like spontaneous expressions by concerned citizens. That the design looks professional and the print is the same must surely be coincidence.

^ You can see the fine print at the bottom. Grassroots my ass. Repubtards have no grassroots just big dollars from the oligarchs. Hate and fear are powerful manipulating forces however especially for all the mouth breathers in the midwest and south.

Heh...wait 'til they start popping up in Seattle and all over the Left Coast.

It is interesting to note General Colin Powell left his position as Secretary of State on 26 January 2005.

The rule against private e-mail accounts came into effect on 4 November 2005.

She's not qualified to be POTUS based on the simple fact she shouldn't be able to get the proper security clearance for the position.

Fair nuff but IF as Hillary claims no classified material was sent then it's legally a moot point.
This issue is not going away. Likely the FBI investigation will not be concluded for a year or more so Hillary will be dealing with it all through the campaign.

Sadly, it really isn't a moot point. The Defense Security Service sets the legal parameters for any server that handles government documents of any sort. The huge majority of the correspondence come under a classification called SBU (Sensitive but unclassified) and they are to be handled in exactly the same manner as Confidential or Secret messages are handled.

The key point is Platte River did not have the "facility clearance" required by existing federal regulations to even handle Hillary's recipes, much less any other correspondence, regardless of the classification.

It's the server now, not necessarily the content of the messages.

Hillary has well and truly shit in her own mess kit.

And it gets even better with these tax and spend Dems. Hillary is going to eliminate college debt!!!

Hillary Clinton pitches scholarship, on-campus child care options - CNNPolitics.com

And it will only cost taxpayers $350,000,000,000.

...Clinton's "New College Compact," a 10-year, $350 billion proposal that comes as her Democratic opponents -- including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley -- push college affordability plans of their own.

Clinton is pushing low-interest grants and loans, and offering states incentives to keep college costs down. She said she supports President Barack Obama's proposal for free community college."

The mind boggles. This woman is truly frightening.

Hey wingnuts, remember when Karl Rove deleted White House e-mails to save Dick Cheney's white ass?

Bush and Rove were embroiled in two competing scandals — the Valerie Plame scandal, in which operatives for Vice Pres. Dick Cheney, including Rove and Scooter Libby, were accused of unmasking Valerie Plame, a CIA specialist in the black market for weapons of mass destruction, for purely partisan reasons, and the U.S. Attorney purge, in which Rove’s political operation in the White House was accused of ordering Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to purge eight U.S. attorneys who were qualified prosecutors and replace them with political hacks with little or no prosecutorial experience.

Rove escaped prosecution in the Libby case, but Libby was convicted (Bush quickly commuted the sentence) on March 6, 2007, at the same time Bush and Rove were under fire for purging the U.S. attorneys. During the investigation, it came to light that Rove’s server had been used to send official, non-political emails — correspondence that was required by law to be preserved under the Presidential Records Act.

On April 12, 2007, Rove’s operation admitted that it had deleted at least 5 million emails from the server. In December 2009, technicians who had examined the server reported that the number of emails that had been deleted was far greater — 22 million.

There is probably one republican out of every twenty people in Seattle and they don't advertise it.
