Something Else posted:Isn't "hates Republicans the most" an equally or perhaps more dangerous form of ideological purity to "rejects big money interests"? How does her supposed hatred of Republicans make her more likely to get things done? Many Democrats and people further left than Democrats hate that Congressional Democrats are all about compromise and want to extend olive branches while Republicans constantly attempt to slit their throats. Attempting to take the middle of the road and meet the GOP halfway is no longer seen by many voters as being the adult in the room. We're on Investigation #8 of Benghazi and people are eager for Democrats to call it like it is. Now, I've read about him a little, but can someone explain to me why everyone hates Sidney Blumenthal?

So he does things like taking plenty of pauses to drink water or the infamous "depends on what your definition of is is" to just run the clock out on them. If it's true, its masterful.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:For example, you don't have a 13% approval rating from the Humane Society, you don't want to abolish Medicare, and you don't want to privatize social security. Fyi HSUS (I'm guessing what you mean by Humane Society) is an animal rights lobbying organization that gives less than 1% of its proceeds to animal shelters. Animal rights =/= animal welfare.

FilthyImp posted:One of the apocryphal notes post-Monicagate that I always loved was the fact that the Clinton deposition was carefully negotiated by Bill's end -- dead certain time limit, no chance for followups, etc. I mean, that kind of thing is pretty typical for depositions. On the other hand, usually the "if we aren't done at 7 hours exactly, I am taking my client and walking out of the room" is just a threat, not something you actually carry out. (Clinton's lawyers were pretty adept at using procedural techniques to their advantage - Nan Hunter wrote a decent book about it that we used in my civpro course called the Power of Procedure.)

There were actually some amazing speeches about it, tons of enthusiasm and spirit, about how dumb and stupid the idiot babies badgering HRC were being. It just turns out that that doesn't actually do anything. j

PostNouveau posted:School shooting on the campus of Tennessee State in Nashville. 3 shot. I work a half mile away from there. Talking with some cops this morning at the gas station they said a dude got pissed off because he was losing while they were gambling and decided to "keep it real." While it was a shooting on a school campus, it wasn't your traditional "I'm pissed off at the world and I'm gonna take a few people with me" type of school shooting. Fake edit: gently caress, I just classified school shootings

Antti posted:Maybe the original poster confused HSUS with professional troll organization PETA? No the Center for Consumer Freedom is pretty big on poisoning animal rights organizations, one of those specifically the HSUS, in the public consciousness since they do a lot of work to make sure that the industries the CCF represent aren't breaking the law. Most people don't realize where these talking points come from. It certainly isn't from anyone that gives a poo poo about animal welfare or cares if local shelters get funding.

Mitt Romney posted:What's the likelihood of the FBI charging Clinton with something regarding the email server? Last I heard they were just "looking into it". That's just people trying to make the issue linger. If they thought something was going to be turned up by the FBI they would have scheduled this hearing for after that.

His campaign 2.54cm'd along, but in the end he wasn't able to go the full 8.2296m. 0.45kg for 0.45kg, Bernie and Hillary are just better campaigners. Ironically, he'll be best remembered for the time he measured himself in stone.

KT Macfarland put an article on Fox News about it being a chilling glimpse into Clinton's soul but the only meat in the story is the thoroughly debunked line about the administration altering the talking points. It's sad.
