Politics Enough with the Hillary cult: Her admirers ignore reality, dream of worshipping a queen

Awesome. So if she gets indicted, it's a conspiracy, and if she doesn't get indicted, it's a conspiracy.

It's a denial of justice if she's not indicted.

But it is a conspiracy if Sanders doesn't win.

Liberal media turns on Sanders

 

This is the undemocratic party. They can anoint anyone they choose. With Hiliar gone, nobody has the requisite number of delegates. Sanders fails on the first ballot, and Biden is selected by enough delegates on the second ballot.

 

For @barfo :

Trump +2, unfavorable even.

Trump +.2 in the RCP average.

Hiliar leads by 6 in the most recent NYTimes poll.

Venezuela: how the socialist paradise turned into debt and hyperinflation hell

“Even under Chavez and $100 a barrel oil, debt was rapidly rising and there were already food shortages,” he says, “This is ultimately to do with an interventionist model that is not sustainable and has reached a tipping point.”

Maduro’s declaration of a fresh three month state of emergency has sparked fears that the government will try to seize control of more private companies.

Many Venezuelans have already left the country, including Francisco Flores. “Venezuela has taken good working companies, given them to the poor but not equipped them with the skills to run them so they go bankrupt,” he says.


(And the money quote):

“That’s just a recipe for destroying a country.”

 

I have relatives in Venezuela, I've been there many times. Up until Chavez, since the 1950s few former Venezuelan president have remained in the country when their term was up. The only reason Chavez didn't was because he died of cancer while president. Blaming socialism on Venezuela's problems is not accurate. Very corrupt country. Hilariously corrupt in some ways.

Venezuela built some of the biggest and nicest highways you have ever seen. One day the current at the time president thought it would be a great idea to put toll booths in certain spots on the highways. Turns out that money went directly to his personal Swiss bank accounts and he retired in luxury in Spain when his term was up. That next guy ran under the promise of getting rid of the toll booths. He did. Had them torn all down. Then a year later he had twice as many built. Fast forward years and presidents later and now governors have toll booths, military generals have tolls booths, mayors, and the president. The highways are littered with toll booths and the ruins of old toll booths.

BTW, Venezuela prides itself on being South America's oldest and longest running democracy.

 

Our toll booths will be better, they'll have a gold TRUMP sign on them.

Castro was reelected with 100% of the vote numerous times. That's how socialism works.

Uh oh, @barfo.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/hillary-clinton-email-inspector-general-report-223553

The State Department inspector general concluded that Hillary Clinton did not comply with the agency’s policies on records, according to a report released to lawmakers on Wednesday that also revealed Clinton expressing reluctance about an official email account and hacking attempts on her private server.

...

The report represents the latest pushback — in this case by a nonpartisan government entity — against her campaign’s claim that she did not break any rules and that her use of a private server was completely allowed.

The report also details how some technology staff said they were instructed to not talk of Clinton’s email set-up after they raised concerns about the unusual arrangement. It also includes conflicting information about whether the private email server had been approved by the State Department’s legal staff.

...

The watchdog report goes on to say that a staff member from the office that handles information technology for the Office of the Secretary recounted the hush nature of the email arrangement.

“According to the other S/ES-IRM staff member who raised concerns about the server, the Director stated that the mission of S/ES-IRM is to support the Secretary and instructed the staff never to speak of the Secretary’s personal email system again,” the report states.

The report further gets into security concerns about the private email server, including some fears that the server was vulnerable to hackers.

It states that a non-State adviser to Bill Clinton, who was the original user of the server later taken over by Hillary Clinton, shut down the server in early 2011 because of hacking concerns.

...

The report goes on to detail another incident in May and says that Clinton and her staff did not appropriate report the matters.

“Notification is required when a user suspects compromise of, among other things, a personally owned device containing personally identifiable information,” it says. “However, OIG found no evidence that the Secretary or her staff reported these incidents to computer security personnel or anyone else within the Department.”
...

The report states that its findings are based on interviews with current Secretary of State John Kerry and his predecessors Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice.

Clinton and her deputies, however, declined the IG’s requests for interviews. Clinton’s former chief of staff Cheryl Mills and top deputies Jake Sullivan and Huma Abedin are among those who did not cooperate with the probe.

 

@barfo, the insert image feature works!

 

Even WaPost, who Bernie supporters claim are in the bag for Hiliar, aren't spinning it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-clintons-email-problems-just-got-much-worse/

This is a bad day for Clinton’s presidential campaign. Period. For a candidate already struggling to overcome a perception that she is neither honest nor trustworthy, the IG report makes that task significantly harder. No one will come out of this news cycle — with the exception of the hardest of the hard-core Clinton people — believing she is a better bet for the presidency on May 25 than she was on May 23.

Clinton remains blessed that Republicans are on the verge of nominating Donald Trump, a candidate whose numbers on honesty, trustworthiness and even readiness to lead are worse — and in some cases, far worse — than hers. But Trump’s task of casting her as “Crooked Hillary” just got easier.

 

That one's good. Although it would be slightly funnier if the flames were more clearly coming out of her butt.

Did you notice the rest of the Bernie Sanders supporters in the background?
