Hillary comes off as arrogant and elitist in most of her public speaking things. I don't know why they think she could be a serious contender, she will fail.
Bush/Rand 2016

It's February 19th, 2018. I wake up, check my phone. Good, bitcoin is up another 5% overnight to around $18k per coin. The world is starting to come around to the notion of decentralized currency, but us early adopters know there's still more to come. A lot more. I've been accumulating coins since 2014 with each paycheck. Not to brag, but I've got quite the nest egg. Best of all, nobody knows it but me. No bankers. No stock brokers. Just me and the blockchain. I shower and get dressed. I take my dog for a walk. The sun is shining and all of the drones are headed to their lousy jobs. My phone beeps. Ha, Roger Ver just tweeted that Western Union is getting bought by Coinbase. Nice. After a short breakfast I head to the car dealership where I test drive the latest from Tesla. Think I'll wait a bit. After world markets started quoting the price of oil in bitcoin, I don't really sweat the ups and downs of gas prices. Think I'll stick with what I have. Besides, I don't want my neighbors to realize that the scruffy guy next door is one of the richest people in town. I drop by my office (literally MY office since I own the whole building). Bitcoin is up another 2% on the WU news..sweet! Most of my tenants pay their rent in bitcoin. Every month they each swing by with a Trezor. No need for a shady middle man or bank. Ah, forgot to mention that my office building is actually an old bank. They seem to be closing up left and right these days. After a little work (have to keep up appearances, right) I close up and head over to the bar. Things are a little slow so I fire up some satoshi dice on the ol' android phone. Too bad IOS fell off the map...such a shame that ApplePay took the whole thing down. Over in the corner of the bar some goobers play video poker. Good luck fellas have fun putting your cash in uncle sam's wallet. With not much going on around town I head home and watch Rise and Rise of Bitcoin Part 7 on Netflix. Man I love that movie. The part about Lawsky's trial is my favorite part. Afterwards I fire up the grill and cook up some prime steaks from the butcher, paid for in bitcoin of course. I love getting a 20% discount for paying in bitcoin. Just as the delicious smoke starts drifting away from the grill, the neighborhood suckers start coming home from their jobs. Bet you guys wish you hadn't bet on fiat.

Lets assume Hilary wins the White House.

Would a Hilary Presidency have more or less death threats per unit time than the Obama Presidency?

Ie would a Hilary Presidency shake the crazy tree and attract the focus/attention/ire of the mentally unstable?

(and no not Republicans, dipshits; schizophrenics and the like)

It's about truth in White House reporting.

Hill-dog 2016

quote:

Ending two years of speculation and coy denials, Hillary Rodham Clinton announced on Sunday that she would seek the presidency for a second time, immediately establishing herself as the likely 2016 Democratic nominee.

“I’m running for president,” she said with a smile near the end of a two-minute video released just after 3 p.m.

Predictions for a running-mate? Clinton / Biden 2016?

I don't know if I'm ready for 19 straight months of election cycle again. Is there some kind of drug I can take that will make this one compelling?

She isn't my favorite, but goddam is she better than anyone the Republicans currently have vying for the spot.

If the Republicans think she'll win then the only red candidates offered up for this election will be the weirdos and flat earthers.

If it looks like Bush is going to win they should have Bill do a false flag affair.

Bill is already lining up the interns "honey I feel like the public would look more favorably on you if I was caught having an affair with this hot little biscuit"
