Everything Old is New Again

Of course, it is all Bill Clinton's fault.

It takes a lot of nerve for the Clinton-hating Washington Post, which peddled Ken Starr's and the Scaifettes' smears for years, calling it "news," to publish this garbage. The paper hasn't changed its tune twenty years later.

The reason the paper, indeed the entire Beltway corp of "journalists," hated the Clintons is for the stupidest and most petty of reasons. It is because the Clintons, especially Hillary Clinton, wouldn't kiss the ass of the queen Beltway whore herself, Sally Quinn, whose only claim to fame was the fact she slept her way to the top.

You can read my bile about Quinn and company from this oldie but goodie from 2008.

Beating Up Women is as American as Apple Pie

Hell, the President of the United States can make light of it.

Anybody who thinks this is funny should have his or her head examined.

Maybe There Is Some Truth to the Notion Sanders is a Tool of the Russians

or of Trump. The man who screwed over the Democrats in the primaries and refuses to be a Democrat is telling people who voted for the popular vote winner, Hillary Clinton and likely Hillary Clinton herself, to shut up and get out of the way.

I have gotten to the point I fucking hate Bernie Sanders. I had no use for him after the Vatican debacle, but he just keeps alienating me more and more:

Bernie Sanders' permanent "political revolution" rolled into Chicago on Saturday night, as the Vermont senator called on progressive activists gathered here to beat back President Donald Trump's agenda while remaking the Democratic Party.

Speaking to a crowd of buzzing supporters in former President Barack Obama's adopted hometown, Sanders ripped Trump's "incredible hypocrisy" and called the President a demagogue who makes "even a very conservative president like George W. Bush" appealing in comparison.

But it was his unsparing assessment of the party whose nomination he sought in 2016 that set off an audience of nearly 4,000 mostly dedicated "Berniecrats."

These nitwits are going nowhere and fast.

Sexism is what drives these Berniebots.

Live Stream of Third Presidential Debate

Lots of places have it. Here is one from NBC's YouTube channel:

It was a bloodbath. Hillary Clinton was awesomely sharp tonight. This was probably her best debate.

The End

Giuliani can put lipstick on a pig, but it doesn't matter. The revelations about Donald Trump's taxes, and the likelihood he hasn't paid any income tax in the past 18 years because he was such a horrid businessman, end his presidential campaign once and for all.

Trump has tried to divert attention from the tax story, but it hasn't worked. He is toast. Even the Wikileaks promise of providing ammunition that would "destroy Clinton's presidential bid" has been put on ice, probably for good. Unless, of course, they can polish up the forgeries before November 8.

Yes, there is another five weeks to go, but the NYT's article basically ended Trump's flailing campaign.

He never had a realistic chance anyway. The GOP, as I mentioned many times previously, wrote this presidential election off months ago.

For the Democrats, the remainder of the campaign is a mopping-up operation. The real contest is to see how many states Clinton will win in November.

It should be close to all of them, ala FDR beating Alf Landon in 1936. It should be a sea of blue, from Alaska to Florida, from California to Maine. Whether it will be remains to be seen. I just can't see it being even remotely close now.

The big contest now is over control of both houses of Congress.

Of Course It Is Sexism

It has nothing to do with the media-propagated "scandals"--which don't exist about Hillary Clinton. It is simply because she is a woman that fuel the opposition to her.

It ain't just limited to voting for Trump. The "progressive left" men--and it is almost all men--who support Jill Stein, a dingbat who is even less qualified than Donald Trump to be president--go around and claim they aren't against a woman, just "this" woman, are a pack of liars.

They support Stein BECAUSE she is unelectable. We women who were around in the 1960s and early 1970s know the score.

Parton has it right although Obama hasn't faced the hatred Clinton has.

The comments from the mostly dudes following the Parton article are revealing. They cannot admit they can't stand the thought of a woman leading the country. They can't stand it because these pricks think women are nothing but holes for them to stick their dicks into. Women are not human beings to them at all. Besides, women are the biggest critics of sexual liberation, especially women on the left, and these dudes can't stand it. As long as women spread their legs and don't get uppity, these "progressive" men will tolerate them. But if they want to be something more than that or something other than that, these dudes have no use for them at all.

These men, on all parts of the political spectrum, are going to have to get used to the fact women aren't going back. Ever.

Live Stream of First Presidential Debate

The Washington Post, among numerous other sources, as a YouTube channel where you can watch the thing.

I will put the embed here:




As the cartoon below illustrates, the bar is set at ground level for the Yammering Yam. As long as he doesn't pee in his pants, he will be declared the "winner," by the idiot pundits who are on the take.

Hillary Clinton merely has to breathe and she will be called "shrill," "cold," "non-smiling," "not deferential enough to men," and all of that other sexist shit we have come to expect.



It was the most lopsided debate ever televised. Trump is completely out of his league. He didn't prepare for shit. He gave sound bites coupled with word salad.

Lester Holt, when he was around, didn't have much in the way of control of the debate.

HRC should easily win this election. I don't think it was ever in doubt.

As If We Didn't Know Why the Double Standard

2. In it, I argue that Trump isn't Clinton main adversary. It's a media whose coverage is governed by implicit & pernicious double standard.

— John Stoehr (@johnastoehr) September 14, 2016

It has always been about the sexism.

It Has ALWAYS Been About Sexism

That is what is at the root of the hatred toward Hillary Clinton. Stupid white dudes and some stupid women can't stand the fact she is about to destroy the ultimate glass ceiling once and for all.

The hatred towards her is far worse than what was leveled at Obama and of course stems from before her husband was president. I believe the reason is because she could easily be president herself.

Given the anxieties that powerful women provoke, it’s not surprising that both men and women judge them more harshly than they judge powerful men. A 2010 study by Victoria L. Brescoll and Tyler G. Okimoto found that people’s views of a fictional male state senator did not change when they were told he was ambitious. When told that a fictional female state senator was ambitious, however, men and women alike “experienced feelings of moral outrage,” such as contempt, anger, and disgust.

But while both men and women are often critical of powerful women, men are more likely to react aggressively. A study published last year by researchers at Northwestern, Washington State, and Bocconi University, in Italy, reported that men negotiating with a female hiring manager demanded more money than those negotiating with a male one. Another recent study, this one by University of South Florida researchers, showed that after men had their gender identity threatened, they placed riskier bets. Feeling subordinate to women may also lead men to act recklessly in their private lives. According to the University of Connecticut’s Christin Munsch, men who are economically dependent on their wives are more likely than others to be unfaithful.

Many men are completely hopeless. They are just going to have to suck it up and take it.

Women have led countries for years without incident. It is about to happen in this country.

Hillary Clinton Reno Speech

Wish I was there at TMCC where Hillary Clinton just gave a speech reaming Trump and the so-called "alt right" supporters:



Speech starts at around 35:00.

A Quack Tries to Diagnose Hillary Clinton

because, being the misogynist that he is, he can't stand the prospect of the first woman president in the history of the United States.

The ONLY real health problem she has is hypothyroidism, which causes the weight gain, etc., that many of us women of a certain age have to deal with. I have read she has Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the leading cause of hypothyroidism, which is a disease that has also affected people like Oprah Winfrey and Linda Ronstadt. It is not anything remotely serious in her being able to handle the job of president. She has no intellectual or organic brain problems, unlike Pinsky's candidate, Donald Trump, who is disintegrating by the day, if we take Trump at face value and not as somebody pulling a con on the public by playing the part of a fascistic nutjob.

Sorry about the right-wing link, but none of the major news outlets have bothered to mention this quack's unprofessional diagnosing of a public figure.

I have bitched about his tendency to do this over on his Facebook page, and yes, he has even talked about this on his show trying to justify something that is in fact a violation of medical ethics.

Pinsky is not a specialist of any kind. He is a general practitioner, with his M.D. in "internal medicine." Since he has not personally examined her, he has no business getting on national television and peddling stuff he has no idea whether or not it is true.

BTW, having met HRC in person, she is of short stature, slightly taller than my five-foot-three inches. So when Drudge made a big hoo-haw out of her using pillows, well duh. Lots of short women use them because they then can sit on couches and other large chairs properly without their feet dangling all over the place like little kids. Also, when you get older, male or female, you are more inclined to need to have pillows or some kind of cushion to be able to sit ON.

The "stairs concern" is just a bunch of crap.

Pinsky is simply "gravely concerned" his candidate is going to be slaughtered in the fall by a WOMAN. Oh, the horror!

Democratic National Convention Highlights: Day 4

The main event. Hillary Clinton did very well in her speech:

YouTube

I had read the reason she wore white was both in honor of 1984 Democratic VP candidate Geraldine Ferraro, who wore white, but also in honor of the women's suffragists, who also wore white.

Clinton Introduces Kaine

Video here:

Raising Kaine

When you have a lot of dishonest whining about Kaine's supposed abortion record, you KNOW the criticism is actually being leveled at the fact he is Catholic.

Never forget that many on the so-called left are just as bigoted as those on the right. Their bigotry tends to be against women, Jewish people, Catholics, and many from Christian sects.

You will never get them to admit it.

The idiot rails against the Hyde Amendment, a law that has been in effect for FORTY YEARS (and renewed thereafter), three years after Roe v. Wade, and when Tim Kaine graduated from high school, for crying out loud. The prohibition of using Medicaid funds for abortion has been around forever. Congress is not going to change the law. I suspect poor women still get abortions. Obviously poor women are still having them without resorting to coat hangers and such.

I was opposed to the Hyde amendment when it became law, but it ain't a deal breaker.

Clinton could have done way worse than Kaine. Case in point: Cory Booker.

One good thing about Kaine is he, unlike Obama, is a big supporter of public education. His wife Ann is Secretary of Education in the state of Virginia.

To Incite Violence is Not Free Speech

Chris Christie came very close with his demagoguery last night by employing his kangaroo court-style speech.

Don't ever forget this is really about sexism. No, HRC doesn't get a pass on everything because of her sex, but face it, the GOP criticisms, to say nothing of many of the Sanders supporters in the primaries, and Sanders himself, have been openly employing misogyny. You cannot underestimate this. HRC's candidacy is WAY more revolutionary in this country's history than Obama's ever was. If HRC succeeds, and she will, in being elected president, the "farm system" of running for public office will be far more favorable to women than it is now. Up to now this is what has held women back from the political big leagues. The floodgates will be open for women to run for office in greater numbers. Many men (and not a few women) cannot stand the thought of women getting real power in this country.

Christie would never be this vile if the Dems had selected a man.

Snip:

Certainly, there’s nothing new about Republicans hating Clinton; they’ve been doing it for decades. Nevertheless, American presidential campaigns are not typically built around the dream of jailing the opposing candidate. Prime-time convention speakers usually pay lip service to the cliché of disagreeing without being disagreeable. Convention planners have not, in the past, staged their events like fantasy show trials. They have not sought to work their crowds into ecstasies of hatred. Those chants of “LOCK HER UP!” might be common among conservatives nowadays, but we haven’t seen their like at a modern political convention.

Christie’s speech was logically incoherent. Even if you buy his damning interpretation of Clinton’s foreign policy errors, it doesn't make sense to discuss them as matters of criminal malfeasance. Emotionally, though, that’s in keeping with how Clinton’s bitterest foes talk about her: as a person of absolute corruption, who, through some sort of occult trick, moves through the world with intolerable impunity. As many people pointed out on Twitter, the way that Christie punctuated his inquisitorial brief with the crowd’s cries of “Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!” made him sound less like a contemporary politician than a magistrate condemning a witch.

Christie's vile little speech:

What the Goddamned Hell? An Epic Rant

I was looking at articles on the Twitter feed, and what should I see but Sanders, who has lost the nomination, going on yet another fundraising binge by trying to raise money so his broke delegates can attend the Democratic National Convention at the end of next month.

I am just so pissed off I can't see.

So this LOSER is pushing for donations for his delegates while insinuating the HRC delegates are fat cats who are corrupting the system. I am so sick of this man I can't see.

Meanwhile, what is the CLINTON CAMPAIGN doing to help us delegates to try and afford the 2k or more in expenses to be able to make the trip in about a month? Not all of us are well-to-do and/or have large credit lines. I can tell you from personal experience that it is almost impossible to raise the funds through crowdfunding, and I do not have any income during the summer months when school is out (I am not currently a teacher but am a classified worker) to spare on a trip that has been on my bucket list and somehow I was elected an Oregon delegate? What I get is the same old, same old from the various party organizations. Okay, Hillary, what are YOU going to do to help US so we can help YOU get elected the next president of the United States?


Here are the crowdfunding links, which are about as useless as tits on a boar. I have tried everything.

Generosity

What a Ratfucking Asshole

Bernie Sanders, totally defeated in the primaries, still is trying to throw his weight around trying to "reform" a party he has never been a member of until he started on his vanity candidacy.

Will the son of bitch try and run as an independent to help Trump? I doubt it, but I don't trust him anyway.

Yet Mr. Sanders chose to withhold his endorsement of Mrs. Clinton, several Sanders advisers said, because he wants her to take steps to win his confidence before the Democratic convention, where his supporters expect him to speak and Clinton advisers hope he will give her his full-throated backing.

Aides to Mrs. Clinton said she had never expected his endorsement Tuesday night. A statement from the Clinton campaign after the meeting described it as “a positive discussion about their primary campaign, about unifying the party and about the dangerous threat that Donald Trump poses to our nation.” They discussed issues like raising wages and reducing college costs, and “agreed to continue working on their shared agenda, including through the platform development process for the upcoming Democratic National Convention.”

Sanders should apologize for the crap he pulled during this election, including stoking all of the paranoia among his supporters that Clinton somehow "rigged" the primaries.

What a stupid ass.

Loudmouth Sexist Tries to Shut Up Woman

Didn't work, did it, Bernie?



He should have dropped out months ago, even before the primaries when the video of his support for Fidel Castro in the middle of the 1980s--still during the Cold War--came out. It was irrefutable proof he was unelectable. But no, he continued with his futile quest. Whether or not he is a knowing tool of the GOP, he is engaging in ratfuckery regardless.

The longer he stays in, the more obvious the ratfuckery appears.

In any case, he is one of those men typical of the 1960s New Left. Those men were the absolute worst, even worse than the men on the right, because they denigrated women to the point the only thing they regarded women for was screwing on these men's terms. I would bet Sanders is a real piece of work at home in Vermont since we know he treats wife Jane like crap. I am sure he is lord and master in the Sanders household, with her having to cook dinner and having it ready on the table by 6 p.m. She probably has to pick up after him and fetch him his slippers. It is hard work, after all, being a "revolutionary," despite his total lack of any achievements at all in D.C. other than being the Ted Cruz of the left.

If you were around during the late 1960s--early 1970s, you know the "left" men always were sexist jerks. They still remain sexist jerks. That is because they worship sexual liberation and regard women as subhuman, as meat, as long as these guys can jack off. That is why are so big on porn and prostitution--using the ludicrous "choice" "argument" which is no argument at all except in support of the male sex right--instead of looking at the truth these are human rights abuses. It is all about unfettered sexual access with no regard for the feelings of others. These guys, however, like to pretend they are so much better people politically than the men on the right, ridiculing their religious beliefs while peddling pseudoscientific mumbo jumbo in support of their moral superiority--but they are simply more sneaky in their sexism.

With Clinton's candidacy and likely election, the sexism is now out on full display on the "left."

Sanders is typical of the sixties New Left male. He is a sit down, shut up, make my coffee and spread your legs type of New Left misogynist.

Hillary Clinton Foreign Policy Speech

This speech was one of the major stories of today:



I believe she won the general election with that speech. The media heaped a ton of praise on it.

Her mentions of Trump were found to be accurate, by the way.
