What was the phrase "America is great because America is good" intended to imply? I've never even understood what they were going for with that.

You had to conquer half the world to discover a seasoning other than salt. Your most popular show is about an ancient pedophile who cruises around time and space in a phone booth yelling at things until your FX budget runs out. And for the record, every adaptation of Sherlock Holmes is better when we do it and I'm counting Psych.

You got your rear end kicked by a bunch of drunk rednecks who dressed up like Indians and if you spent half as much time thinking about your elections as you did getting conquered by medieval France, then maybe you wouldn't have exiled yourself from Europe and driven Scotland to considering yet another referendum to leave your rear end.

In May, as Bernie was starting to campaign in earnest and it was becoming clear that the press wouldn’t let the e-mail story go, Hillary’s aides began planning her first national television interview of the campaign, a chance to strike back at the widely held perception that she was hiding from the press. Palmieri asked Abedin to find out which newscaster Hillary would prefer, and the answer that came back was “Brianna.” That meant CNN’s Brianna Keilar, and Palmieri worked to set up a live interview on CNN. Only it turned out that Hillary had said “Bianna”—as in Bianna Golodryga of Yahoo! News, the wife of former Clinton administration economic aide Peter Orszag. By the time the mistake was realized, it was too late to pull back.

Hillary went through with the interview on July 7, and it was a disaster. “People should and do trust me,” she insisted under a barrage of questions from Keilar. One aide described Hillary as “staring daggers” at her questioner through the exchange. If the interview was meant to show Hillary at ease with the press and confident that her e-mail scandal wouldn’t hurt her, it failed.

Of course, Hillary should have been angry with herself. She’d taken actions that could have prevented her records from becoming public during a presidential run, and the maneuver had backfired badly. But Hillary instead turned her fury on her consultants and campaign aides, blaming them for a failure to focus the media on her platform. In her ear the whole time, spurring her on to cast blame on others and never admit to anything, was her husband. Neither Clinton could accept the simple fact that Hillary had hamstrung her own campaign and dealt the most serious blow to her own presidential aspirations.

That state of denial would become more obvious than ever to her top aides and consultants during a mid-August conference call. Benenson, Grunwald, Margolis, Anzalone, Podesta, Mook, Abedin, and Schwerin were among the small coterie who huddled in Abedin’s mostly bare corner office overlooking the East River at the campaign’s Brooklyn headquarters. Hillary and Bill, who rarely visited, joined them by phone.

Hillary’s severe, controlled voice crackled through the line first. It carried the sound of a disappointed teacher or mother delivering a lecture before a whipping. That back end was left to Bill, who lashed out with abandon. Eyes cast downward, stomachs turning—both from the scare tactics and from their own revulsion at being chastised for Hillary’s failures—Hillary’s talented and accomplished team of professionals and loyalists simply took it. There was no arguing with Bill Clinton.

You haven’t buried this thing, the ruddy-cheeked former president rasped. You haven’t figured out how to get Hillary’s core message to the voters. This has been dragging on for months, he thundered, and nothing you’ve done has made a drat bit of difference. Voters want to hear about Hillary’s plans for the economy, and you’re not making that happen. Now, do your drat jobs.

“We got an rear end-chewing,” one of the participants recalled months later.

Hillary came back on the line to close the lecture. It was hard to tell what was worse—getting hollered at by Bill or getting scolded by the stern and self-righteous Hillary. Neither was pleasant. You heard him, she admonished. “Get it straight.”

It was an astonishing moment—and one that would stick in the minds of Hillary’s aides for the rest of the campaign—for two reasons. First, Hillary was already inaccessible to most of her own staff, preferring to communicate through Abedin. So, a phone call featuring both Hillary and Bill was a real rarity. But more important, the scapegoating tone and tenor revealed that the Clintons were either living on another planet or at least having emotional and intellectual difficulty coming to terms with the reality that only Hillary was culpable and only Hillary could turn things around.

In all seriousness, if during the primary Sanders supporters had been able to harshly criticize HRC without conjuring cries of "sexism" and "bernie bro!!1!" maybe we wouldn't all be breathing the fumes from the dumpster fire that is the Trump presidency.

You know, I don't particularly like Trump. But you know what I really hate? Any legitimate criticism of Hillary being waved away as misogyny. Yeah, there's misogyny out
there. Of course. But, is it misogyny to state 'I don't believe she is serious about regulating banking or instituting campaign finance reform or really doing anything
other than maintaining the status quo?'

I hate the status quo. The status quo blows. The status quo is turning this nation into a bunch of retard hick babies when we used to be the undisputed kick rear end top dog
of the world. I don't want another 8 years of status quo and that makes me misogynistic? You even admit she is just more status quo.

I also don't think it is misogyny to say 'I'm sick of this dynasty bullshit.' There's plenty of legitimate criticisms and it's infuriating to hear Dems ignore them and
just go 'nah you just hate women brah.' Where was that line when Palin was running as VP?

nuke the oceans and the monsters that lie beneath the waves

then nuke cities and towns and kill everything, drop one right on my head while I hold my arms open to embrace it
