BLUF:
Since their fight last summer over the book, Bill’s negative feelings about Hillary’s memoir have grown even more intense as she’s used her book tour to blame her loss on Russian hackers, former FBI Director James Comey and women who didn’t vote for her.
Klein writes in his upcoming book that Bill warned Hillary a month before the election that she was losing and that she needed to campaign in the Rust Belt states.
"She told him he was delusional," Klein writes.
"Bill’s criticism‐ and what Hillary sees as his lack of sympathy ‐ has driven a wedge between them," the friend said. "They haven’t been speaking for months. They’ve been communicating through friends and lawyers."
"Ed is a sad man," a spokesman for Hillary said. "And a pathetic liar," added Bill’s rep.

Doesn't that beat all. Years of philandering and infidelity doesn't seem to bother Hillary but she gets in a snit about the election because Bill shows a lack of sympathy. This woman is completely bumf%ck, over-the-top crazy.

Does heartsick actually mean pissed off? Because that is the only thing Bill Clinton could be feeling towards Hilda, since she lost him access to power, influence and babes. These two have engineered this amazing pretense that they are married and actually a couple. Her affection for Eleanor Roosevelt is actually telling, she too was married in political terms only and was just as gay and closeted as Hilda. Neither one cares wit about the other except in terms of the maintenance of the façade to keep the money and influence alive and supporting their lifestyle. Grifters both...

Heartsick - from a Latin phrase meaning "the jig is up", perhaps
Say what you will about the sleeze, but Slick Willy has the political gene. Foolish not to listen to his advice, but if a woman is going to be Leader of the Free World, last thing she wants is her husband mansplaining.
[IsraelTimes] Company's investigation reportedly reveals operatives purchased spots on YouTube, Gmail ahead of Trump presidential victory
Russian operatives reportedly bought ads worth $100,000 across Google’s platforms in an attempt to interfere with the 2016 US presidential election.
The ads were purchased on many of Google’s products, including YouTube, which is the world’s largest video sharing site, and Gmail, The Washington Post reported on Monday.
According to the sources who spoke to the paper on condition of anonymity, the ads were not purchased by the same group that bought ads on Facebook, implying that the Russian effort to influence the US election was broader than previously thought.
The report said the company discovered the Russian presence by siphoning data from Twitter.
In a statement, Google said it has a "set of strict ads policies including limits on political ad targeting and prohibitions on targeting based on race and religion."
"We are taking a deeper look to investigate attempts to abuse our systems, working with researchers and other companies, and will provide assistance to ongoing inquiries," the statement continued.
The amount of money spent on Google ads matches the sum reportedly spent by Russian operatives on Facebook in the lead-up to the election.
That company turned 3,000 ads over to three congressional committees as part of their investigations into Russian influence in the 2016 vote. Facebook’s Elliot Schrage said the ads appeared to focus on divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... social and political messages, including LGBT issues, immigration and gun rights. In many cases, the ads encouraged people to follow pages on those issues.
Facebook said last month that the ads appeared to have come from accounts associated with a Russian entity called the Internet Research Agency. The company said it found 450 accounts and about $100,000 was spent on the ads.
Schrage, Facebook vice president for policy and communications, said in the blog post that the ads included "political messages across the ideological spectrum." He said for 99 percent of the ads, less than $1,000 was spent.
The social media giant Twitter has shut down accounts associated with the Internet Research Agency, which the Post described as "a Russian-government affiliated troll farm," the same group that had purchased the Facebook ads. Twitter also admitted that the Kremlin-linked news site RT spent $274,100 on its platform in 2016.
Both Facebook and Twitter have agreed to appear for a public hearing before one of the Senate committees probing Russia’s interference in the 2016 election on November 1. Google has yet to confirm whether it will also give evidence at the hearing.
[DAWN] A top Republican politician warned on Sunday that US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... 's impulsive threats against other countries could set America "on the path to World War III," in comments capping an unusually hostile and public feud between the pair on Twitter.
Bob Corker, who chairs the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, slammed the president for running his office like a "reality show" in a stinging rebuke against a sitting president of his own party that was remarkable even by the volatile standards of the Trump administration.
The public spat between the former allies could also undermine Trump's legislative agenda, with Corker's vote vital to the fate of the Iran nuclear deal and passing tax reform.
"He concerns me," Corker told The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... , adding: "He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation."

RINO, glad he is quitting. He handed Obama the Iran deal.

Isn't he the mook who wrote the law (rule?) requiring a two-thirds Senate vote to kill the Iran agreement, replacing the constitutional requirement of two-thirds to ratify as a treaty? In a sane world that alone should have been enough to throw him out of the Senate. The RINO rot runs deep.
Republican Senator Bob Corker is worried that President Trump is “reckless enough to stumble [sic] the country into a nuclear war.” This from the two War Parties who’ve not stopped egging Trump on about Russia, fomenting American aggression against that potential partner. The president wanted—was willing—to make peace with Russian; the UniParty would have none of it. Now DemoPublicans are worried.
President Trump has failed miserably in forging forward with peace vis-a-vis Russia and sending out competent spokespersons to explain that campaign promise and the attendant policy of diplomacy and American First.
… Senator Bob Corker, the Republican chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, charged in an interview on Sunday that President Trump was treating his office like “a reality show,” with reckless threats toward other countries that could set the nation “on the path to World War III.”
In an extraordinary rebuke of a president of his own party, Mr. Corker said he was alarmed about a president who acts “like he’s doing ‘The Apprentice’ or something.”
“He concerns me,” Mr. Corker added. “He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation.”
Mr. Corker’s comments capped a remarkable day of sulfurous insults between the president and the Tennessee senator — a powerful, if lame-duck, lawmaker, whose support will be critical to the president on tax reform and the fate of the Iran nuclear deal.

The winner in all of this immature arguing are the adults in the house - Blackburn for Senate and Bill Lee for Governor of the Great State of Tennessee.
The losers are Corker, Trump, and Haslam. We in Tennessee see this as a "strange" argument since Trump really was going to support Corker...and it would have done him no good just like his support of Strange in Alabama. When Strange lost - Donald dumped ole Bob like a hot rock. We don't want Corker, we don' want Haslam, and now even Trump is getting on our nerves. Donald's act is growing thin...

...being around a loud New Yorker can get on a lot of non-New Yorkers' nerves. Wonder how its felt in Pyongyang. Someone else has said, “You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor and you will have war.”

Respectfully, it might be helpful to remember where one's 'nerves' might be with a President Hildebeest. Posted by Besoeker I would crawl through broken glass to vote for Trump over the beest, but that still doesn't mean I have to like him...

Two committees with the most potential for graft; Foreign Relations and Armed Services. And you need the FBI in your pocket to make it work. Why else be a RINO?
[BLOOMBERG] At 84, Sen. Dianne Feinstein ...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator.... is at an age when many Americans are deep into their retirement years. But the oldest member of the Senate announced Monday that she will seek another term with a ready retort for those who might suggest her best years are behind her.
"Experience counts," the veteran Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Democrat said.
The announcement that she would seek a fifth full term was expected and she has been stockpiling campaign dollars for a re-election bid. In recent months, the former the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... mayor has shown no signs that she was thinking about stepping aside for another generation.

The Senate was never meant to be an old elephant grave yard. If and when they reconstitute the old republic make damn sure term limits for everyone is included.
[THEFEDERALIST] There are two types of people: those who ambush Republicans such as Steve Scalise with cheap shot political attacks, and people with decency. Chuck Todd on Sunday decided he wanted to be the former.
Scalise, for those who don’t know on account of how lightly it was covered by national media, was ambushed by a progressive gunman in June, while Scalise was practicing for the Congressional Baseball Game. The shooter was killed by the security detail who protect Scalise. Also shot were Crystal Griner, one of the Capitol Police officers assigned to protect Scalise; congressional aide Zack Barth; and lobbyist Matt Mika.
The gunman had discussed his hatred for Republicans extensively in social media prior to the shooting.
The “Meet the Press” host decided to spend the entire aired portion of his interview with the House majority whip pushing gun control. For eight minutes, Todd focused on what he sees as Scalise’s political shortcomings, and badgered him to adopt the views of his political opponents. Scalise, for his part, spent the entirety of the interview making Todd look like the uninformed and naive partisan activist he is.
It would be nice to establish in a news forum what’s going on with Scalise in his life. Ideally there should be some sort of humanity and rebuilding of trust in terms of how hostile liberal journalists deal with their political opponents, such as Scalise. If Todd wanted to address his own push to restrict gun rights, maybe limit it to 5 or 10 percent of the interview.
Instead, the undercurrent of Todd’s badgering questions was to tell the shooting victim he did it to himself. He began with the premise that Scalia was wrong on gun control.
Todd had a hard time accepting that Scalise is unwilling to abandon his principles after being shot on a baseball field for holding those principles. Todd also has a hard time understanding the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. Todd has trouble with the American value of the right to defend life and liberty.

[APNEWS] Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn’s Senate campaign announcement ad has been blocked by Twitter over a statement the abortion rights opponent makes about the sale of fetal tissue for medical research.
Blackburn, who is running for the seat being opened by the retirement of Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, boasts in the ad that she "stopped the sale of baby body parts." A Twitter representative told the candidate’s vendors on Monday that the statement was "deemed an inflammatory statement that is likely to evoke a strong negative reaction:
Twitter said the Blackburn campaign would be allowed to run the rest of the video if the flagged statement is omitted. While the decision keeps Blackburn from paying to promote the video on Twitter, it doesn’t keep it from being linked from YouTube and other platforms.
Blackburn took to Twitter to urge supporters to re-post her video and join her in "standing up to Silicon Valley."
Blackburn was the chair of a Republican-run House panel created to investigate Planned Parenthood ...has received federal funding since 1970, when President Richard Nixon signed into law the Family Planning Services and Population Research Act. It is sometimes described as the gynecololgical wing of the Democratic party. and the world of fetal tissue research that earlier this year urged Congress to halt federal payments to the women’s health organization. Democrats said the GOP probe had unearthed no wrongdoing and wasted taxpayers’ money in an abusive investigation.
The panel was created after anti-abortion activists released secretly recorded videos in 2015 showing Planned Parenthood officials discussing how they sometimes provide fetal tissue to researchers, which is legal if no profit is made.
Fetal tissue research has strong backing among scientists for its value in studying Down syndrome, eye disease and other problems. But Blackburn’s committee report said fetal tissue "makes a vanishingly small contribution to clinical and research efforts, if it contributes at all," and recommended curbing federal grants for such research.
Blackburn’s nearly two-and-a-half minute video features footage of her shooting a gun, espousing her "100 percent pro-life" credentials and taking fellow Republicans in the Senate to task for failing to repeal the Obama health care law.
"I know the left calls me a wingnut or a knuckle-dragging conservative," she said in the video. "And you know what? I say that’s all right. Bring it on."

[WASHINGTONTIMES] It’s madness in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, as Gov. Jerry Governor Moonbeam Brown ... those who ignore history are bound to repeat it ... , a Democrat, of course, just signed into law a bill that creates special rights for LGBT senior-age adults in long-term nursing care that requires them to be referred to by their gender pronouns of choice.
Those who don’t? It’s off to jail they go. Free speech, anyone?
At the least, violators could be forced to pay up to $1,000 in fines.
Technically, it’s called the "Bill of Rights" for seniors, and it came into law as Senate Bill 219 on the backs of Sen. Scott Weiner, a the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... Democrat, and the group, Equality California.
But more to truth, it’s a Madness Law, one that opens the door for silly transgender activists to demand they be referred to as they choose ‐ a he as a she, a she as a he, and so forth and so on, until confusion abounds and sex assignments are ingrained into society as matters of individual choice, not God’s doing. What a load of deceit.
And the end game, of course, is the destruction of the traditional family.

A serious, thoughtful person wonders what the end game is.

Can this choice change on a daily basis? "I was a woman yesterday, today I'm a man. Get it right or go to jail."
This doesn't read like anything legal but just another tyranny and craziness of the left.
Didn't Stephan Paddock live in California at one time? Another theory of his mass shooting might be that living in California made him nutso.

Something to divert the mass attention from crime and disease in the streets and the potential of a downtown nuclear blast. Like polishing the brass after the hull is breached.

If and when California secedes, I wonder what they're gonna do when the Mexican army comes pouring over the border to reclaim the territory.
The plan is that we will then become a part of Mexico.

"A serious, thoughtful person wonders what the end game is."
Liberals usually have an endgame but in this case I think the trans activists took the ball and ran with it and there really is no end game. Liberals are responding and trying to placate and hoping to get control of the ball again.
#12

Heh. Well, that would be Mexico's plan. But I was wondering more what Jerry and his Hollywood sycophants would do when their tony digs are requisitioned for the new Gobernador and his (too numerous to count) minions.

Look around any of the urban centers, and you will see that native born, non-Hispanic Americans are already colonialists in some form of Hispanic country, either Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Somalia, China, or pick any Muslim sh*thole. The upscale suburbs are still American in appearance, at least until 10am when the construction and landscape workers arrive...

"A serious, thoughtful person wonders what the end game is."
At a guess, this is part of the campaign against free speech. If it stands, it's a precedent that government can not only regulate what you say, but *require* you to say something. It's very hard to dissent when the vocabulary is denied you on pain of criminal sanction.
#19
The True insanity is you can get in trouble for not knowing the gender. So transgender folk must be obligated to speak first and inform of their status and chosen pronouns. Easier to just not talk to strangers.
#22
I don't think many liberals have a very big "personal" down there so they prefer being called a Her, so when they get a physical they can point to it and say "This is not me!"
