Why yes, the one candidate that was lovely enough to lose to Trump. Let's roll her back out. It will definitely go better this time.

Juan Williams is, as stated before, a Fox talking head. He also got fired from NPR for bigoted poo poo. Also Hillary Clinton has not expressed any desire to run again and the idea is a Republican fever dream which you can see if you're a reader of the Politoons thread where the right wing doodlers there have been going ANY DAY NOW for her resurgence for years.

I did not have this on my BINGO card.

Looks like it's not an isolated incident.

quote:

ST. LOUIS — As chairman of the African People’s Socialist Party, Omali Yeshitela wears a black beret with a red star on it. He calls people “comrade.” He said he’s traveled to the likes of Nicaragua and Russia for years to speak about the ongoing implications of colonialism on Black people.

In an email, Joshua Morrill, acting assistant special agent in charge of the FBI in St. Louis, described the Missouri raids as “court-authorized law enforcement activity” involved with an ongoing investigation that on Friday included unsealing the indictment of a Russian national.

Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov, founder and president of the Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia, was charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States. According to the indictment, he, along with officers in Russia’s internal security and counter intelligence service, allegedly used “members of U.S. political groups as foreign agents of Russia within the United States, without notification to the Attorney General.”

Partnerships were allegedly formed that provided financial support to the groups that would “publish pro-Russian propaganda, as well as other information designed to cause dissension in the United States and to promote secessionist ideologies.”

The indictment says the U.S. groups in question are based in Florida, Georgia and California. None of the groups, nor their leaders, were formally named.

Yeshitela said he was one of them. He hasn’t been charged with a crime. He said he hosted his own press conference Friday to counter the federal narrative.

He said he knew Ionov and had gone on two paid trips to Russia. He said he attended an anti-globalization conference there, but that he’s been battling colonialism for 50 years.

“The U.S. government is attempting to use us, the African People’s Socialist Party and the Uhuru Movement, as pawns in this struggle that they are engaged in, trying to deal with the clear political and economic change that is happening in the configuration of power in the world,” Yeshitela said. “And they see themselves as contending with Russia. Russia is a bone in their throat.”

He said his association with Ionov wasn’t enough to justify raiding his home. He said they take donations from a wide array of contributors.

“Don’t tell us we can’t have friends that you don’t like,” he said.

He said he thinks there were several reasons for the federal action.

“One is because of our effectiveness struggling for Black people and Black power in this country and around the world, especially in St. Louis,” he said.

Also, does dropping one corpse onto your land make it a cemetary? Aren't there permits and zoning and all of that?
