Hillary got an award





Her fellow former secretary of state went beyond the typical professional courtesy and gave what sounded like a heartfelt endorsement for Clinton in 2016. “At least four secretaries of state became president,” he said at Wednesday’s Atlantic Council’s Leadership Awards. “I want to tell Hillary that when she misses the office, when she looks at the histories of secretaries of state, there might be hope for a fulfilling life afterwards.”
The German-born Kissinger introduced Clinton by joking about his own ambitions — despite the constitutional provision that prevented him from becoming president. “I thought up all kinds of schemes to get around that.” But then he got serious: “I think of Hillary with admiration and affection. . .When I call Mrs. Clinton ‘Hillary,’ I do that not so much to indicate familiarity but to use a name that the whole world uses. It shows to what extent she has succeeded in her people-to-people work.”

see, this is what I don't get about Hillary - I accept she can't haul off and slug the murderer in public but to go there the way she did? ewwww2.0

The man speaks with the blood of thousands gurgling in his throat.

That quote should tell anyone WTF is going on and who really does shit. He got a noble peace prize too. So that accolade was proven to me long ago to be a worthless piece of shit.

I look at her and him as part of 'the in crowd '

The military industrial complex will welcome her with 'open arms'.....since she got his endorsement.


She's better than any republican but to me that's not saying much these days for what I'd like to see to make real change.


The photo and her quote about him still makes me ill.

It's of the elite, by the elite, for the elite.

Not only Hillary, of course. But whether it is her, or whether it is other members of our ruling elite, they do protect their own. See, it isn't murder when one of their own lies and causes death and dismemberment to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or more. It's "statecraft". And "we mustn't look back, we must look forward".

Now if it's one of our former puppets causing chaos and death, that gets more complicated. Then they must consider whether the former puppet is of any current use; or whether the former puppet is more useful as an enemy that can be scaremongered up into a profitable war.

Same as it always was.

so very well... concisely, precisely.

I am going to copy and paste your post and put it on my bulletin board at work. When people visit my office (university setting), they always read my board.
