what a worthless loving garbage sack of a human being

the posts are from ~10 years ago. if she'd just put her hand up and apologized and admitted that yes what she wrote was really offensive and unacceptable then that would have demonstrated some actual integrity and i could respect that. but no, she went straight to lying her rear end off like a child caught with their hand in the cookie jar and immediately got caught out for it. she's loving done and it's going to be fun to watch her burn.

i mean, i do try to see the best in people where possible. even though most of her attacks are dishonest as gently caress maybe she did genuinely believe in her cause. maybe she felt it was justified to tell a few small lies in service of a greater good (it's not, ever, and this mentality is a big reason why things are so hosed to day, but i can at least understand the thinking). but if she starts immediately lying her rear end when she herself comes under fire then she's just another garbage grifter with no goals beyond attaching herself to whatever cause is gonna bring in more cash for #1 this week.


and as for this wonderful person, eh if she didn't catch any meaningful poo poo for saying "hey we should invade a country then plunder their natural resources as payment for us 'liberating' them" then i can't see this making much of a splash

Universal private pensions would require all employers to contribute at least 50-cents per hour into each worker’s individually-owned, low-fee private retirement account to supplement their full Social Security benefits. A lifetime of work will forever mean a comfortable retirement.

considering 10 years ago joy Ann Reid had positive things to say about Bernie, going out on a limb and saying the “racist sexist berniebros” is a big rear end projection.

The financial managers used your portfolio to gain more favorable trade prices for their premium clients and also racked up transaction fees. Your retirement account will last you 30 days. Good luck.

work does suck if you're working something you hate.

People still want to do something to give their lives meaning. But when your survival depends on doing whatever somebody else is willing to pay you to do (and labor monopsony is a thing, and part of why wages have stagnated)

Ubi for people who are sick of working, jobs guarantee for those who want to work.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/24/hillary-clinton-donald-trump-amy-chozick-chasing-hillary-book

quote:

The candidate was squirming with frustration over lingering concerns about her “authenticity” and racked with loathing for Donald Trump she was determined not to vent in public.

“Aides understood that in order to keep it all together onstage, Hillary sometimes needed to unleash on them in private,” Chozick writes in Chasing Hillary: Ten Years, Two Presidential Campaigns and One Intact Glass Ceiling. “‘You want authentic, here it is!’ she’d yelled in one prep session, followed by a gently caress-laced fusillade about what a ‘disgusting’ human being Trump was and how he didn’t deserve to even be in the arena.”

quote:

Chozick reveals that an unnamed top Clinton donor had previously confronted Abedin, pleading with her to step aside for Clinton’s sake in 2013, when a second sexting scandal involving Weiner broke out.

“I’m good at what I do and that’s Hillary’s decision,” Abedin replied.

quote:

Hillary Clinton reportedly “erupted” when Chozick reported in January 2016 that the actress and writer Lena Dunham, a prominent supporter and 29 at the time, told a Manhattan dinner party “she was disturbed by how, in the 1990s, the Clintons and their allies discredited women” who had accused Bill Clinton of misconduct.

quote:

Campaign manager Robby Mook, who was 36 years old on election night, “always listened patiently, respectfully” to the two-term president talk about campaign strategy, Chozick writes. “But [Mook] mostly saw in the former president a relic, a brilliant tactician of a bygone era.

“Behind his back, Robby did a Bill impersonation (‘And let me tell you another thing about the white working class …’) waving a finger in a Clintonian motion.”

The former president, meanwhile, was painfully aware of Trump’s potential appeal in territory he thought of as his own, Chozick reports.

“By late February,” she writes, “Bill went red in the face on almost daily conference calls trying to warn Brooklyn that Trump had a shrewd understanding of the angst that so many voters – his voters, the white working class whom Clinton brought back to the Democratic party in 1992 – were feeling.”

But Hillary Clinton failed to collect many of those voters, skipping their states as she made campaign stops and alienating some with her grouping of certain Trump supporters in a “basket of deplorables”, a line Chozick reports the candidate liked and deployed at big-ticket fundraisers from New York to Los Angeles.

“In the Hamptons, Hillary felt loved,” Chozick writes. Clinton, however, grew weary of hearing pollsters report on her lagging favorability.

“Oh what’s the point? They’re never going to like me,” she told a friend at one point, according to Chozick.
