Clinton: I take "absolute personal responsibility" for election loss and would have won but for "WikiLeaks" & FBI

#1  Poor old James Comey learns the hard way.
"The boot you lick is the boot that kicks."

#2  Maybe Hill hasn't read this article yet. Would she have blamed the FBI had Comey suggested indictment?

#3  Puts me in mind of the 1954 Marlon Brando movie "On the Waterfront":

Charlie: Look, kid, I - how much you weigh, son? When you weighed one hundred and sixty-eight pounds you were beautiful. You coulda been another Billy Conn, and that skunk we got you for a manager, he brought you along too fast.

Terry: It wasn't him, Charley, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and you said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." You remember that? "This ain't your night"! My night! I coulda taken Wilson apart! So what happens? He gets the title shot outdoors on the ballpark and what do I get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville! You was my brother, Charley, you shoulda looked out for me a little bit. You shoulda taken care of me just a little bit so I wouldn't have to take them dives for the short-end money.

Charlie: Oh I had some bets down for you. You saw some money.

Terry: You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it. It was you, Charley.


Just change a few names and Wallah...

#4  I take absolute responsibility but it was Comey's fault. And the Russians. Don't forget the Russians. And the misogyny. Don't forget the misogyny.

#5  If Comey had done his job she'd be jail.

#6  Yeah, she's ignoring the 'Bernie Folk' leakers at the DNC, too.

Wonder why Perez canned everyone?

-Land of the Free
San Francisco Sheriff Who Defended Sanctuary City Status Defeated In a Landslide
The voters have spoken. More, please.

#1  That is interesting. "Sanctuary cities" are not the will of the majority of the people--only a minority of the voters--the lefty progs.
Posted by: JohnQC || 05/03/2017 9:31 Comments || Top||

#2  The sheriff also had some interesting baggage/issues/possible charges. I'll wait and see if this was the voters rejecting the sanctuary idea, or just a corrupt and idiot sheriff.

#3  Embrace the power of 'and', Darth.

#4  I'll wait and see if this was the voters rejecting the sanctuary idea, or just a corrupt and idiot sheriff.

If he wasn't corrupt and an idiot he wouldn't have defended the sanctuary city crap. But it's surprising that San Francisco voters defeated him. Never thought I'd see such a thing.

#5  Kinda gives you an inkling as to the orientation of those with IDs.
Posted by: Skidmark || 05/03/2017 15:45 Comments || Top||

#6  Prediction: next SF Sheriff will start their term by reaffirming SF Sanctuary status.
Posted by: Rex Mundi || 05/03/2017 16:08 Comments || Top||

#7  As San Francisco goes, so goes ... oh, wait...

DNC argues it had the right to rig 2016 democratic primary
Technically true, but amazingly tone deaf to admit it.
[RT] A lawsuit brought against the Democratic National Committee, and its former chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
...Congresswoman from Florida, the abrasive chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. She has been a politician since 1992, and prior to that was in training as a political science major. Her primary accomplishment seems to be that she's Jewish...
, by Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
donors has revealed the DNC believes its own rules of impartiality don’t apply, and they can pick whatever candidate they wish.

"We could have voluntarily decided that, ’Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way," DNC’s lawyer Bruce Spiva told a Florida court.

THE SUIT

The class-action suit was filed in June 2016, and accuses the DNC and its former chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz of seven different violations, including fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment and negligence.

The suit has three different classes of plaintiffs - those who donated to the DNC, those who donated to the Bernie Sanders campaign and all members of the Democratic Party.

#1  former chair the Mayo-Haired Hatchet-Faced Shark-Toothed Scrunt Debbie Wasserman-Schultz

#2  I dunno. Seems as though the plaintiffs might have some good arguments for breach of contract and fraud.

Depends on how the rules are stated. I know as an auditor that the main thing is for the organization to live up to its own rules, otherwise they get wacked.

Question is who gets to determine the wacking.

#3  by Bernie Sanders donors

Bernie himself has been well-compensated for his efforts.
Posted by: Pappy || 05/03/2017 9:01 Comments || Top||

#4  It is their primary, they can rig it if they choose.

However, it does need to be plainly stated that the rigging is taking place. I believe they have by publishing the rules about superdelegates.

This point that they rig it needs to be driven home again and again to the plebs.
Posted by: DarthVader || 05/03/2017 9:03 Comments || Top||

#5  Rigging elections ought to be illegal whether it is in the primaries or the general election. Voters are being scammed out of their vote.
Posted by: JohnQC || 05/03/2017 9:39 Comments || Top||

#6  Let the voters do something about it. This past election it looks like they did.
