Russian Assets and Asses
When Hillary Clinton appeared at Bethlehem's Liberty High School in 2008, she made sure several local Democrats knew she still remembered LV Congressman Paul McHale. Our former Congressman was among those Democrats who voted to impeach Bill Clinton for perjury. She made sure Bethlehem knew her displeasure by refusing to pay the bill for two years. She has even more reason to detest Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein.
Stein, a Green, ran against her in 2016, and picked up enough votes in battleground states to deny Clinton a win. Gabbard resigned as DNC Chair in 2016 to support Bernie Sanders.
Hillary, who has a long memory, blasted both on Friday as "Russian assets" with no evidence.
Kinda' like exactly what Donald "the Joker" Trump does.
It appears those on the supposed left are as plagued by conspiracy theories as those on the right. Although I'm sure there are Russian assets out there, they do not include Tulsi Gabbard, Jill Stein or even Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton is no Russian asset either. She is just an ass.

Fair post. And Donna Brazille, who admittedly did Hillary's dirty work on Bernie Sanders, lands a cushy job at .... FOX News. We pretend there are two teams. There's really just one, and none of us suckers are on it.
ReplyDelete"Jesus, Mary & Joseph!"
ReplyDeleteBernie Jesus Mary Joseph! Your leaning in the right direction on this one. Sounds like a late article that is truely down the middle, and aliens are falling from the clouds today.
DeleteJust when I thought Hillary was fading away she comes back with a vengeance.Most folks don't remember who Jill Stein was .
ReplyDeleteI like Tulsi Gabbard and would definitely vote for her if she was the nominee.
ReplyDeletea reminder that BOTH candidates in 2016 were looney
ReplyDeleteAs a Stoli-infused Russian asset myself, I judge this post to be fair. I've never seen Tulsi at any of our planning sessions. Let's hit the RESET button and move along, comrades.
ReplyDeletehee haw Hillary heading for another chance. She'll get trounced. Then she'll go away mad agai.
ReplyDeleteMany conservatives like Tulsi for the same reason lefty women watchers of The View don't, Tulsi is beautiful and they are shallow.
ReplyDeleteLike the first man president, the first woman president will be a soldier of distinction who loves this country. That's Tulsi Gabbard.
Hillary Clinton is much worse than simply being an ass, to call her an ass is to elevate her with tepid condemnation.
After boxing Bernie out and there-by handing our country over to The Donald she tweeted,
"To all the little girls watching...never doubt that you are valuable and powerful & deserving of every chance & opportunity in the world."
What about Tulsi?
What Hillary has said is nothing compared to what she's actually doing behind the scenes to this principled young woman soldier who bravely and stoically pushes through hidden ceilings and obstacles many of which Hillary herself orchestrates.
Hillary Clinton is a disgrace.
It's clear now "at long last" that as bad as Trump is, Hillary Clinton would have been far worse especially for young women, her frequent flyer husband's favorite target.
She really needs to chill it with her anti-Slavic remarks.

ReplyDeleteTaking a spin on the Hillary accusation wheel you landed on
"might be a Russian apologist...in need of a haircut."
Hillary may not know Russian assets. But her horny hick hubby with the peyronie's pecker sure knows Russian asses when he sees them. Talk about the candidate you'd most like to have a beer with. I'd like to hit Vegas for a weekend with Dollar Bill and break records. Hey now.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like there has not been a loser for the presidency who does not go bonkers, Jimmy Carter lost with class, Ducaucus just went away, but lately we have had Romney who has disgraced himself regularly, mostly with his envy of Trump. and Hillary who needs help and counseling, where is Bill, he needs to take Hillary on a long Vacation, maybe to Russia or Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteThe Russians will stay with Comrade trump.of course donnie might just need some more help.
ReplyDeletefunding and support for a third party candidate would be part of the Russian game.
Besides it keeps the light from the Russian dealing with the NRA,trump of course and Moscow Mitch and his love for aluminum.
Hilary is wrong to accuse without proof.
she is working a grudge.
Stein was part of the NRA group headlining in Moscow and the mess that was.
I can spot a Russian asset a mile away when they refuse to eat Jello.
ReplyDeleteAll the people involved in this are idiot stupid assholes.
ReplyDelete@4:05pm:. Run on sentence, says wha?
ReplyDeleteAs a former Secretary of State, I am certain that Secretary Clinton knows how Russia operates and how Putin interferes in our elections.

ReplyDelete"As a former Secretary of State, I am certain that Secretary Clinton knows how Russia operates and how Putin interferes in our elections."
"Russian assets out there, they do not include Tulsi Gabbard, Jill Stein or even Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton is no Russian asset either"
3 out of 4 ain't bad. Bernie
Considering the damage Hillary has caused, to her party, and the country, in her own words, by her own standard "she's a Russian asset".
As for the other 3, it's a Hoax. And the head scatologist exposed herself and her apparatus in the media, now we know.
Ripe for the amplified false narratives on social media. Just like Hillary having less than a year to live. The right had already poured millions into those stories, then she went out and confirmed them when she passed out at the 9/11 ceremony. So quit picking on the "dead" woman.
ReplyDeleteEnough with Clinton, she was rightfully dumped. Trump is now on the table and he is a jackass. He has screwed up the country and is messing up the world. The guy is a mess. Those that keep defending him are assholes. Stop comparing him to Clinton, she is no longer and issue and good riddance to her. Trump is still around an dis still a jerk off!
ReplyDelete9:51pm:. WRONG. FAKE NUUUUWWWWS. A Russian asset doesn't have to be a willing participant. They can be an unwitting accomplice. The Russians watch our elections and let's say some joker is running. While on the campaign trail, he says outrageous things against his/her opponent that is in Russians better interest, the Russians will start flooding social media with bots and fake accounts to bolster that candidate and funnel money to that candidate through illegal sources. Hence, the reason Rudy Colludy might soon go to jail.
ReplyDeleteYou are on point Bernie. Hillary needs to STFU and go away...now! This is of no use to the challenge at hand of ridding ourselves of Donny boy. Clinton Inc. made plenty of $ while in power and afterwards. Enough already. The party will be fine...eventually..without her continual publicity stunts to sell her book and remain..a king/queen maker.
ReplyDeleteLook, I dislike Hillary as much as the next guy, and I think we'd all be better off if she just went away, but her criticism of Gabbard is not entirely off-base. I have a friend who is pretty pro-Gabbard and he regularly shares posts on facebook from accounts that appear to be fairly active in her state-level operations. These posts are shared pretty widely, but the accounts almost always appear to be fake. They often post at very odd times of day, have either no friends or friends who spell their names with cyrillic letters, or have only photos without any people in them.
ReplyDeleteThere is also a large audience for conspiracy-minded leftwing youtube shows, like those of Jimmy Dore and Kim Iverson who reference RT as if it is a credible news outlet and not part of the Russian government. Gabbard has a habit of referring to unfavorable news coverage as fake, which only gives these weird youtube commentators more influence. I'm pretty far left myself, and voted for Sanders in the 2016 primary, but Gabbard's campaign and her supporters are genuinely unsettling.

ReplyDeleteYour analysis is mute. As is Bernie's.
Hillary said she meant to say "Republicans" not "Russians".
They must be Republican bots?
All the people who supported Hillary's statement about Russian grooming have been cut loose by the very politician they sought to support. You put your reputation on the line for Hillary and she just cut bait.
Trump would have doubled down like a boss.
