President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

The instance of her no longer being a public figure, probably.

 

"We have not declared war on the press,” she said. She smiled at the apparent ridiculousness of the idea, and even let out a chuckle."

"Her boss had called them the “enemy of the American people” and used Twitter to attack individual journalists by name. For more than a year, he had waged a campaign against the news media more openly hostile than any president in history. And Sanders had been his point person."

It’s late April 2018, and this thread is about Hillary Clinton falling down.

That level of trolling mastery is always relevant.

 

I understand what you're getting at here, and I mostly agree with you, but I certainly wouldn't go this far.

 

Gosh, what a radical leftist thing to pray!

"As legislation on taxes continues to be debated this week and next, may all members be mindful that the institutions and structures of our great nation guarantee the opportunities that have allowed some to achieve great success, while others continue to struggle. May their efforts these days guarantee that there are not winners and losers under new tax laws, but benefits balanced and shared by all Americans."

Jesus - obviously a true fan of supply-side economics and bootstrapping - would be offended His name was invoked in such a Castro-esque prayer.

 

Poor guy. He committed his life to the wrong Jesus.

 

What is she? She doesn't hold office, and she's not running for office again. She's a former First Lady, Senator, and Secretary of State. She's famous for that, but she doesn't hold those offices anymore. Nobody here is talking about Colin Powell. She's whatever he is.

 

How is she no longer a public figure?

She's one of the most prominent Democrats. Her hand picked choice heads up the DNC.

She's been out promoting a book.

And, a leading organization of novelists, journalists, editors, poets, essayists, playwrights, publishers, translators, agents, and other professionals, just invited her to address their organization:



“Everyone’s voices need to be raised at this time,” declared Hillary Clinton when delivering the Arthur Miller Freedom to Write Lecture last weekend at the 14th annual PEN World Voices Festival, an organization committed to protecting human rights and open expression in the U.S. and worldwide.

In her compelling speech, which was followed by a conversation with celebrated Nigerian-born novelist and non-fiction writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Clinton addressed such important issues as the right to free speech (and the current ongoing attacks on that freedom), the challenges women in positions of authority face, why she’s not going to be silent, and why we shouldn’t either.

Clinton commended writers and journalists for the meaningful work they do, saying they “shine a light on the human condition, help us understand more about the world around us, challenge us to understand views and experiences different from our own, and remind us of the importance of evidence-based facts.”

She also illuminated the fact that in America right now, “press rights, journalism and free speech are under open assault,” in what she called “the most perilous position I’ve seen in my lifetime.” She went on to say, “According to Freedom House, an organization dedicated to protecting free speech and human rights around the world, 2016 was the lowest point for global press freedom in over a decade, and 2017 was one of the most dangerous years on record to be a journalist.”

Talk about a loaded question!

 

You have mental problems.

 

What’s wrong with her right arm? Did I miss something?
