Sure HilLiery…….During her much-watched and heavily-covered press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Hillary Clinton said, “When I got to work as Secretary of State, I opted for convenience to use my personal email account, which was allowed by the State Department, because I thought it would be easier to carry just one device for my work and for my personal emails instead of two.”…………Umm….so the millionaire lawyer with dozens of assistants couldn’t figure out how to set up 2 email accounts on one phone? Riiiiight!You’re either dumber than a 5th grader if you believe that or just a blind robot taking orders.
Then people realized HilLIEry got her lies mixed up because months before that, this happened……At an event on February 24, Hillary Clinton said that she owns both an iPhone and a Blackberry.
When asked if she prefers iPhone or Android, Clinton responded “iPhone, OK, in full disclosure — and a Blackberry.”
This is from Garrison Keillor’s short program, “The Writer’s Almanac”:*It’s the birthday of writer Alexis de Tocqueville (books by this author), born in Paris (1805). He was 25 years old when the French government sent him to America to study the prison system. He spent nine months touring towns and cities and taking notes. A few years later, he published his famous book, Democracy in America (1835).
During his tour, the aristocratic Tocqueville was impressed by the fact that American Democracy actually worked. He wrote: “There is one thing which America demonstrates invincibly, and of which I had been in doubt up till now: it is that the middle classes can govern a state. I do not know if they would come out with credit from thoroughly difficult political situations. But they are adequate for the ordinary run of society. In spite of their petty passions, their incomplete education and their vulgar manners, they clearly can provide practical intelligence, and that is found to be enough.”*In 1835, Americans could make democracy work. 180 years later, with all of our technology, and all of our ability to communicate rapidly with one another, the two party oligarchy no longer serves the electorate. The founders thought political service would be short and a duty rather than a career. Politicians have not only turned their offices into tenured positions, but they have granted themselves the best ‘retirement’ benefits in the nation. No middle class job offers so much pay for so little hours and such generous benefits for so little time working in a job. Politicians take those benefits and most go to work in some capacity for the donors for whom they actually served.The point is this – Politicians, lobbyists, SuperPACs, and corporate media is able to do this by keeping us fighting and arguing with each other. They distract us from the harm done by politicians. Our candidates run on the platform of- no matter how bad you think I am, I’m better than THAT candidate! And we have nearly no control of the choices we are offered. The most qualified and best suited people for these jobs are too intelligent, or too poorly financed to run for office. It would seem that another writer was correct when he wrote, “the first disqualifier for public office is wanting the job.”I wonder what Mr. Tocqueville would think of our democracy now.Respectfully,C.
But it does not matter anyway. As her good friend Donald Trump is going to win the election for the POTUS for Hillary by a lanslide anyway!
And, of course, the Trump industries construction companies will benifit to the tune of billians and billians of dollara worth of infrastucture federal tax money (which even with that negative, I still support for the sake of this country anyway). Thus giving Donasld Trump both of the two things he craves more than anything else in the world; attension and money!!
As usual, leaving the right wing Republicans holding the proverbial bag. Sorry about that CG, and the rest of the ultra right wing conservatives here. Although, I must admit it will at least give you another four years to continue to spill your guts out here. Congradulations!!
Theres the classified emails we now know about because of the Inspector General.Then there’s also the 30,000 emails she deleted from a private email account she used for official business which was clearly against regulations as Sec of State.
Another typical Hillary story: Bold headline fonts for the phony claims, microscopic font on page 32 with the yard sale want ads for the retractions and/or apologies and corrections to the actual facts. It’s also demonstrative of just how “liberal” the Times is, especially when it comes to Hillary.
At this point I think Edward Snowden proved there’s no such thing as security. If someone wants to get the information they will. I’m not saying make it easier, but this email business is a non issue because it has no affect on our daily loves and has not affected anyone in anyway. It’s just a story the republicans use to discredit her.
^Al Jazeera America simply has more news in an hour than Faux has in a week, and the key point it’s accurate! They even have real jounalists that can pronounce the names of the people and countries they’re reporting on and from.
