    You mean the Hillary Clinton who said that it was okay to have different public versus private opinions on things, as an elected official, who got PAID to give speeches to wall Street, who used her influence to get the apparatchiks of the party to tip the scales in 2016 to ensure that SHE would be the nominee instead of an anti neo liberal who could have put up an amazing contrast to djt instead of her neoliberal centrism? The one who insisted that SHE needed to be president, and who very much helped us to get into the situation we find ourselves in today? Oh, cool. I am very much interested in what she has to say, because of course she holds the interests of the country above her own

    This is great. Yes, I hate Hillary with the white hot heat of seven suns too.

    We need anyone with influence to be shining a light on this. She will reach a portion of the people that aren’t following reason. Hell, I applauded Joe fucking Rogan for a critical piece on Trump.

    We’re stronger united.

        Oh he’s awful alright. He’s a notoriously soft interviewer who gives his large platform to misinformation, but he also pressed Trump over “having the election stolen,” and agreed to disagree.

        That doesn’t mean anything to you or me, but it may add uncertainty to a brain dead Rogan/Trump follower.

          I also believe he cancelled on Kamala. Apparently she did agree to an interview and then he dropped her over “scheduling issues” but still had Trump come on.

          O wow, I didn’t watch the interview and have no intention to. I used to watch him when he had people like NDT and other science related people.

            Even those can be a rough watch. Neil has a bad habit of speaking with conviction on topics outside his expertise, and Rogan just sits there saying “wow.”

              That’s true, I have noticed NDT likes to step outside his field of study but at least he isn’t trying to politically motivate people to vote for fascist. So yea he has his flaws but at least he is pushing people towards science.

    It’s interesting how no matter what level of depravity the Republicans are doing currently and how many news outlets are talking about it ad naseum, Microwave always finds the angles that pit progressives against liberals and centrists. He’s more transparent than Kanye’s date’s dress at the grammys.

      Is it really incitement just to post an article featuring the Democratic nominee from 2016? The connection to email servers is relevant.

      Hmm gee why would anyone post articles that are vaguely negative about the Democratic establishment. Right now they’re fighting the blatent corruption going on in our country by doing:

      Don’t forget all the things they did to protect federal workers like:

      But of course you can’t forget the ways they got popular policy enacted when their man was in office. Policy like:

      It could be that Microwave is seeking such takes out because he’s trying to control the conversation in that way, or it could be that such takes are the easiest to find because the mainstream media is trying to control the conversation in that way.

    In 1994 the Clinton admin (her and Bill literally ran as a “two for one” in case you didn’t know) did the largest RIF in federal history cutting a quarter million feds out. Using mostly the same methods trump is today.

    The numbers were just now coming back.

    So really, she’s probably just mad he’s doing such a bad job of it, or more likely gloating that she did it better to her inner circle.

    But there’s a reason trump was a big do or back then, and why the Clinton’s went to his wedding.

      It’s crazy to watch how people have blotted Trump’s decades of pandering to every corner of the NY political establishment (while laundering money for the mob and their friends in the dirty-as-dishwater NYPD). Nevermind how the Epstein web neatly ensnared liberals and conservatives alike, for the purpose of extorting them to enrich his investor clients and enhance his credibility as a powerful insider lobbyist.

      Trump’s the symptom of a much deeper rot. Our refusal to acknowledge that is as much a part of the problem with the modern political landscape as his actual presidency. Its the reason why guys like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are so impotent in their opposition.

      The Clintons, the Bushes, Bloomberg, the Cuomos, Bracewell & Giuliani, Howard Lutnick and the Cantor Fitzgerald investment bank, Bill Akman and Russell Vought… they’re all friends from way back. This doesn’t begin and end with one bruised ego in 2014. If Mathew Thomas Crooks had been a better shot, the administrative state would still be getting demolished right now.
