Amazingly, she comes up even more on the right.
ETA: And I see you addressed that in your next post. That’s what I get for not refreshing after having left the tab open on the thread for a few hours!
I’m rather shocked to see that the WSJ has gone over to the dark side. I had thought they were a fairly reputable news source. Guess I need to keep better tabs on who’s in the Murdoch stable these days. But even by the low, low standards of the Murdoch press, carrying water for the Trump Administration is definitely among their greatest hits. And by “hits” I mean “punches in our collective mouth.”
By the way, I’d like to apologise on behalf of my country for that evil bugger. He really is a turd.
The opinion page of the WSJ has been choleric ever since the Clinton administration, no matter what the news sections may be like.
Exactly. I mean, how the FUCK does someone manage to do that???
The WSJ has been shit for a while - at least their “opinion” or “editorial” side has been.
I think the reason that Pubs refuse to let the Clinton thing refuse to die is that it’s THE ONE thing all Republicans can still unite behind, i.e., hatred of her. When her name is brought up, for an instant they stop tearing at each other’s flesh, raise their fists in the air, and shout, “Yeah! Yeah! That bitch! Lock her up!”
Oddly, if Clinton had been elected, the Republicans would be a monolith again, the Great Wall, as it were. Hell, I’ll bet Mitch McConnell has feverish and only slightly guilty fantasies about how his power would not have waned but would have gotten stronger during a Clinton presidency. Instead he got the toddler with the hammer who has no fear, no respect, and doesn’t care what he tears down.
Hell, that’s recycled from the Bush/Cheney years. I’m sure I posted to that effect here ca. 2006:
- Retake Congress.
- Simultaneously impeach Bush and Cheney.
- President Pelosi!
Yabbut that’s really beside the point. The question is, whether there are a nontrivial number of lefties who keep talking about Clinton at any remotely comparable level to the right-wing obsession with her.
It’s coming up on a year since she lost the election. But they still want to lock her up.
My question is, why aren’t the “lock her up!” crazies pissed off at Jeff Sessions? He’s the AG, so it’s his people who could indict her if there were anything she could be charged with. They haven’t, and there’s no reason to believe they will. But nobody’s pissed off at him on account of that, AFAICT.
It’s as if they believe Mueller has to be the one to investigate her. Are even Fox News viewers really that dumb?
Their opinion page has been absolute garbage since the day Murdoch took control. They still do reasonably good journalism tho.
Why yes, they really are.
I think Sessions should start to focus on defense rather than prosecution. I bet he is indicted before all is said and done here, along with Don’s entire family save Bannon and Melania.
The pissing and moaning about Hillary and Uranium One is just background noise. It’s red meat for the base, but Mueller and Co. have real fish to fry and their nets are filling up fast.
Yes, there’s a scenario (albeit probably implausible) where Pelosi becomes President. And there’s a much more plausible scenario where she becomes extremely politically relevant again, without becoming President. So Pelosi is certainly a legitimate boogyman for the Right. But what in the world does that have to do with Clinton?
No, I didn’t. Your post was stupid. As was the one I just replied to (and edited most of the stuff out).
You mean Barron? Melania’s probably clean enough too, but Bannon better have a lawyer.
More like a one-two punch: Release the Manafort/Gates news, which Trump and co. were expecting, then sucker-punch them with Papadopoulos, which no one saw coming, and which is more powerful since he’s already pled guilty and flipped. No wonder Spokestoad Sanders was so desperate to pretend they hardly even knew the guy existed. What did he tell Mueller? How much of the campaign’s ties to, contacts with the Russians can he reveal? Has he already revealed? [What’s next???
And then I read somewhere there’s suggestions of other sealed indictments already been filed…
Oh, the White House and its god-emperor must be one helluva kicked-over anthill now…
What’s Bannon suspected of? (Besides being an all-around human dumpster fire.)
Most of the time when I see Clinton brought up on the progressive boards I frequent, it’s by a few diehard haters to rehash what a horrible candidate/person/neolibcon corrupt scum she is.
Close involvement with Trump. No way to keep clean if you do that.
You see some of that here, too.
We’d have to indict nearly every Republican in Congress, if that’s a crime. Seems a bit wasteful and counterproductive.
Yes I meant Barron of course. Though Barron may have colluded with others on his homework.
