Mike Beckom for June 12, 2023

Beckom can’t come up with any excuses for the orange menace’s behavior, so he stoops to false equivalencies

It’s just not worth repeating the differences in the 2 situations to MAGAts/Alt-Reichers any longer. Nothing will convince them that the 2 cases are completely different.

Republicans appear to be mentally ill.

Yeah Beckom, tell us how many servers were in the bathroom now, eh?

Or maybe the number of times she hid them in the garden shed?

Oh, right she turned them over to the committee. And they COULD NOT find anything to charge her with. Nothing.

Funny that. Almost like the partisan, corrupt, no Democrats allowed in crucial meetings committee couldn’t actually find anything.

If there were ANYTHING Republicans and the trump administration could have charged her with, they would have done so. It is a sign of total desperation that trump and his minions are bringing up Hillary. When Bill Barr points out that trump is in big trouble with these charges, you know there’s blood in the water.

The Republican party is being given yet another chance to rid itself of this lying criminal. But, they will blow it. You are so afraid of offending Joe-Six-Pack and Sally-Housecoat, that you will destroy the party of Lincoln. It would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic.

Talk about an “own goal”

Thank you for supporting the prosecution of Donald Trump.

Republicans can not deffend (sic) Trump, so they are planning to investigate Mrs. Clinton again.

Ask Trey what he learned interviewing Hillary for hours on end

Hillary is as bad as Trump. Beckom got it right.

There seems to be a lack of memory concerning Hillary. I guess its been too long ago to remember the multiple Repub investigations of Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State. The Repubs, no matter how hard they tried, couldn’t find any dirt on her. She was exonerated every time. Her only questionable action was the use of her own personal server to send emails. And, while today’s Repubs, with their lack of memory, continue to hit this point relentlessly, they also forget their man Dump did exactly the same thing.

Here’s how Trump campaigned against Clinton in 2016’s final days:

“Hillary is likely to be under investigation for many years, probably concluding in a criminal trial.” — Nov. 2, 2016 in Orlando, Fla.

“She’ll be under investigation for years. She’ll be with trials. Our country, we have to get back to work.”– Nov. 4 in Atkinson, N.H.

“If she were to win this election, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis. In that situation, we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial.” — Nov. 5 in Reno, N.V.

“Her current scandals and controversies will continue throughout her presidency and we will make it honestly, look, it’s gonna be virtually impossible for her to govern.” — Nov. 5 in Denver, Colo.

And there in the upper left (of course), “Benghazi,” the seed that the Right just can’t pick out from between its teeth.

“By the end of April, 2014, two Senate committees and four Republican-led House committees had investigated the Benghazi attacks and found no evidence of wrongdoing by senior officials, including Obama and Clinton. (A fifth House committee would come to the same conclusion.)”

— The Turning Point by Sean Wilentz, Rolling Stone, 12/17-31/15

“Clinton…was an extremely peripheral figure in the failure to secure the Benghazi station: matters of consular security never reach her level of seniority — and, more to the point, the significant operation in Benghazi was run by the CIA, which should have been responsible for the security…But Clinton has Republicans frothing, despite a raft of investigations that showed no culpability on her part.”

— Joe Klein, Time, 8/1/16

“Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this . . .

Guess who said that to his guests that had no security clearnace.

Poor Mikie can’t even get his lies straight. As posted elsewhere:

“The DoJ conclusion was that HRC didn’t intend to run afoul of the regulations regarding the classified information in those personal account emails, even so some of those documents were highly classified. The indictment against Trump posits that Trump DID intend to break the law. As regards Biden (and Pence), they voluntarily opened their files to the investigators and complied with all the investigator’s requests. Trump retained the documents for months, stonewalled the investigators, and, it’s alleged, did all manner of handling and chain of custody violations at will and with full understanding that he was breaking laws, including the Espionage Acts and the 1978 Presidential Records Act.

Obama’s classified documents, 30 or 33 million of them, were supposedly stored in a furniture warehouse; that claim has been debunked. There were many documents transported to Chicago, but they were under control of the NARA (National Archives and Records Administration) and stored in one of its facilities. One should also point out that Trump was also charged with the duty to turn his presidential* records over the the NARA, voluntarily, which is now patently obvious — even to Trump — that he did not so do."

Beckom again shows off his Trump Disciple analysis skills.

Beckom is about the only thing that can make me want to vote for Hillary.

Lock Trump up! Lock Trump up! Lock Trump up!

She got it right during the 2016 debates when she spoke directly to Trump: “(Putin) would rather have a puppet as president. (We know) that the Russians have engaged in cyberattacks against the United States of America, that you encouraged espionage against our people, that you are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do. And that you continue to get help from him, because he has a very clear favorite in this race.”

She got it right in 2016 when she warned about the MAGA movement’s animosity toward people of color: “Trump is reinforcing harmful stereotypes and offering a dog whistle to his most hateful supporters. It’s a disturbing preview of what kind of president he’d be.”

She got it right in 2016 when she warned that the GOP would target gay people all over again, regardless of “the progress that we fought for, that many of you were on the front lines for. It may not be as secure as we once expected.”

She got it right in a 2016 speech when she warned that “a fringe element has effectively taken over the Republican Party. And this is part of a broader story — the rising tide of hardline, right-wing nationalism around the world. … So no one should have any illusions about what’s really going on here.”

She got it right in 2016 when she warned about a fragile future for women’s reproductive rights: “The fact that our next president could appoint as many as three or four justices in the next four years (demonstrates) that we can’t take (those rights) for granted. Just consider Donald Trump, the Republicans’ presumptive nominee. … He has pledged to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade. … And that’s why this election is so important. The outcome of November’s contests is going to be a deciding factor in whether our elected officials and our courts defend or attack a woman’s right to health care for generations to come.”

She’s still getting it right, by the way.

Tomorrow Trump gets arraigned again, looks like he will be in jail before Hillary is.

Beautifully drawn caricature.

So why didn’t His Majesty and his government when they controlled all, prosecute her?? I mean they had all this evidence, right??
