This is old, and I know you're mad, but are you saying that Hillary Clinton played no part in the uranium deal and never got money from Russian lobbyists before said involvement? Because lol.

no, they were caught rating near identical statements from bernie/hillary differently in hilldawg's favor. There is some appreciable partisan bias.

For non-politics snopes is just fine but using it for anything naturally political makes you an idiot tbh

Found the book here (got posted there a couple months ago, probably by the Russians)
https://archive.org/details/ShatteredInsideHillaryClintonsDoomedCampaign

Just finished it.

The book takes a complete shift in tone and writing style as soon as you get to the chapter where Russia is the one leaking her emails and it's all their fault she lost. Up till then the book was "Hillary is awful and nobody wants to vote for her. Nobody likes her. Trump could win the election." Then it instantly turns into "Hillary is obviously going to win but Russia's hacking could make the gap less. Oh no, Hillary lost. How is this possible. It wouldn't have happened except for Russia, Comely, and the KKK (the group American citizens she previously called deplorable). These last minute actions by the FBI and Russia turned the KKK against her when they were previously going to vote for her."

She's following her formula. When she got fired from Secretary of State she laid low for a while, then popped up later to run for Pres.

She's doing that now. I imagine she'll be showing up places rarely, offering criticism of trump/republicans until it get's closer to 2020.

She got beaten by a first-term senator no one oustide of Chicago had heard of before 2004.

Maybe not "irrelevant", but it should have been enough to convince people that very few people actually want her to be president.

Basically yeah they were. Hillary was balls-deep into her 2nd wet fart term as a NY Senator and had very little to show for it, because Obama stole her loving thunder.

She took the consolation prize and the opportunity it presented as a means to consolidate power and make sure plenty of dems owed her favors by the time 2016 rolled around. By 2016 the only person who wasn't in deep to the Clintons was also the person who very nearly (and rightfully should have) stolen the nomination from her. She wasn't gonna let another fire-spitting minority best her master plan to resurrect Goldwater though.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
I was looking up something for the 2008 election cycle on wiki and I was sort of surprised over the shift in nominees who dropped out who endorsed Obama first over Clinton. I'm not sure when the endorsements came, but the number of candidates who dropped out in what seems a relatively close window all throwing in with Obama over Clinton seems almost scandalous to think about nearly 10 years later after the 2016 election cycle.

Fun fact: a couple generations ago many Mormons moved to Mexico in protest to United States anti-polygamy laws. Also laws against marrying children. I'm sure that's not Mitt's legacy, though. He's a piece of poo poo by his own merit.

People laugh at Trump's spray-tan and rightly so, but Mitt was the guy who used it once only because he had an interview on Univision. He shoulda just talked through a puppet or some poo poo...

e. Not saying it's legal to be a polygamist or a child-fucker in Mexico. I'm pretty sure it isn't. However, it was easier for them to avoid scrutiny in a place where their bad rep didn't follow them.

I am however saying there are too many puppets in Mexico and this must be stopped.

Mitt was so loving bad I voted for Obama in '12
