I wonder what a non-legitimate Hillary supporter is. Like, have they met people who actively troll them by lying to them about voting Hillary? Have they met Sorosbucks-wielding fakeocrats? Bernouts who used to claim "never Hillary" but have rallied? Who exactly have they met?

It's interesting, I was reading about the American Civil War recently and if they had taken a more defensive position from the beginning and tried to stall instead of going on the offensive they may not have won militarily, but it's more likely that support in the North would have evaporated and they may have been successful to some degree.

"Well you know, people always want to try to make that as one of those things, well how do you, how do you slice this particularly tough sort of ethical question. First of all, from what I understand from pollsters, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate Hillary supporter, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let's assume that maybe that didn't work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the female voters and not attacking the Trump supporter."

It also depends on the area where you're living too. I live in a somewhat small town in southern Virginia and there's Trump signs everywhere and most people seem to be really supportive of Trump. If I lived in a bigger city, or in another state, I probably would have the opposite experience.

It's kind of like the "How could Romney have lost, look at all that red on the electoral maps!" thing all over again.

Very true. Up here in Richmond, it's pretty much Bernie and Hillary supporters all over. Kind of a mixed bag down in Norfolk, however. I think I saw more Ben Carson supporters than anything. (Bumper stickers, at least.)

I live in rural Illinois in a district that doesn't even have a Dem running for the House. Literally the only candidate I've seen bumper stickers or signs for is Bernie besides like one Cruz one earlier in the race, most people have just had stuff for more local races. I have seen someone wearing a Hillary for Prison shirt and had a customer rant at me about "Killary" and Benghazi though.

Bitch you don't work AND get money from the state.

But see, she EARNS her money, not like those people with their rich cars and their iPhones and their long salon nails and getting junk food at the store and ribs and watermelon and fried chicken and steak!

My dad is the same way. Has been trying for years to get his new wife on disability, because she caught some virus on a SCUBA trip when they were in Bali or Cabo or somewhere, and now she can't work. He blames the fact a rich white woman can't get disability on the fact all "those people" raise generations of kids on it. My nephew lives with his mom, my stepbrother's ex, most of the time, and they don't have air conditioning. In AZ that's almost a death sentence. But my dad still likes to mock her for trying to "abuse the system" when the poor woman can't even sleep when it's 100* at 9pm. Never mind my nephew living in it either.

I've tried to mention that this girl could have easily ruined my stepbrother's life but was persuaded not to because "she only sees dollar signs." Maybe, Dad, but she was 17 when she got knocked up, and my stepbrother was 18, almost 19, so yeah, he could be considered a chomo. And you promising to help her take care of the baby means nothing, it's court mandated, you gently caress!

FLAWED
INTUITION



Toilet Rascal
Not a crazy forward, but a pretty pro one on the Benghazi report that came up today:

quote:

Two years, $7 Million dollars

And nothing.

Trey Gowdy has this morning released the results of his witch hunt.

And he's got nothing.

Nothing we didn't already know:

- Security at the consulate was inadequate -- which is unsurprising given that Congress had cut funding for embassy security.

- President Obama and Secretary Clinton didn't do anything wrong -- though in retrospect Clinton could have done certain things better in the days leading to the attack, but then who doesn't have 20/20 hindsight, right?

- The report reluctantly admits Clinton herself "never personally denied any requests for additional security in Benghazi" and she was "active and engaged" on the night of the attacks, she was actively working with the president, the CIA director, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and others in the hours following the attack.

- All the conspiracy theories were bullshit. No stand-down order was ever given.

Even the most ardent Hillary Haters on the panel, Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Mike Pompeo (R-KS), who released their own "additional views," said that then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "paid special attention to Libya," and the worst criticism they could level was that she"missed her last, clear chance to protect her people." Again, 20/20 hindsight. Which also applies to those Senators and Representatives who voted to cut security funding, or those members of the Bush administration who missed the clues prior to 9-11, or EVERY terrorist attack for the last 200 years. Trust me, speaking as a former intelligence officer, there's nothing easier than predicting the past. Everybody sees the dangers and makes the right decisions when they have the benefit of being privy to all the details four years in the future.

$7 Million. 2 Years.

The report is just vague enough that you can, sort of, bend it to make whatever political hay you like. But there's no smoking gun and Gowdy just couldn't quite torpedo Clinton or Obama no matter how much time and money he wasted. He couldn't even produce an illicit blowjob. And so this morning the media is floundering to pull something, anything, from the report to generate headlines. The Washington Post reports, "Benghazi Report Reveals Little New Information About Hillary Clinton." Aw. Another WaPo Headline reports "The Five Most Serious accusations from Republican's Benghazi Report." Accusations. Not conclusions. They'd have gotten more page hits if they'd gone with the five most unusual conspiracy theories regarding Benghazi. USA Today reveals, "US Failed to Protect Americans in Benghazi." Really? No kidding. I'm pretty sure we'd didn't need Trey Gowdy to tell us that. The New York Daily News desultorily reports, "Benghazi Report Brings No Bombshells on Clinton Role." drat. drat it. For $7 Million we expect bombshells. And blowjobs.

Basically the report agrees with every previous investigation in almost all respects.

Except for one thing.

Gowdy couldn't blame Obama and he couldn't pin it on Clinton.

But he'd spent $7 Million dollars and for that much dough he had to blame somebody.

So he blamed the military.

That's right. He blamed the military.
