Less than 2 yrs ago, Hillary Clinton told Goldman Sachs execs that criticizing Wall St is bad:

1. They got that from Sirota?

Some intriguing stuff there.

[Cowpunk]

26. David Sirota got it from an old Politico article

"Lament of the Plutocrats". Intriguing indeed.

Here is a link to it.

27. Nice of you post to that

I'm looking at it now, thanks!

2. If she wins the nomination, we will hear about the Clinton Foundation 24/7

And she will lose the GE.

6. And were she to manage to win,

you can just bet Congress, Wall Street, and the MIC will cheer her on as we embark on another one or two or three major military incursions in the ME, as our party drifts ever further rightward.

11. ....with the continued shredding of the personal Liberties guaranteed in the Constitution,

and MORE stove piping of our democratic power and guaranteed rights to the "Unitary Executive".


Richard Nixon's definition of a "Unitary Executive":

13. If only we could rec replies...

[lewebley3]

8. That would be good thing: it is a charity: Very good one

[Punkingal]

9. Yeah, it would be, if there weren't a 1000 questions about influence...

But I bet you know that's what I meant.

[lewebley3]

10. If it helps the poor and Children: let it be million questions

As long as help get to those who need it!

[zalinda]

17. They really didn't help in Haiti

they built a multi million dollar luxury hotel. People are still living in tar paper shack dwellings. I'm really not sure about all these millionaires "doing good works", it strikes me as more of a tax scam. meanwhile, those who have very little money are spending time in these places trying to help the people with what they need.

29. Wrong: the Clinton's foundation is very successful: That

is why it is so respected and so many famous and good
people wanted to donate. They know that the Clinton's
have good hearts and are very successful in anything
they do.

33. ...

"It may have been good for some of my farmers[*] in Arkansas, but it has not worked. It was a mistake," Clinton told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on March 10. "I had to live everyday with the consequences of the loss of capacity to produce a rice crop in Haiti to feed those people because of what I did; nobody else."

3. I'm waiting for the Inevitability Enforcement Department(IED) to show up and scream "Context!"

And then start chanting "The Court! The Court! The Court!", when that fails.

[Fawke Em]

19. Is it going to be to the tune of "Bohemian Rhapsody?"

[lewebley3]

30. Just looks like an old grampa

[Fawke Em]

36. At least he's #NotmyAbuela

[Uncle Joe]

4. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Playinghardball.

[Scuba]

5. Lessee... one candidate says don't criticize Wall Street and the other says break them up.

I think I see a clear difference here.

[rhett o rick]

7. And I see irony in that the one that says "don't criticize" is the one that some think is "tough".

She might be tough on the 99% (tough drug laws) but she aint tough on Wall Street.

[George II]

16. Sanders voted for the tough drug laws, Clinton didn't.

[neverforget]

24. Yep and here's what Hillary said of that legislation

when she was lobbying for it for her husband

http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/racial-justice-failures-hillary-clinton-cant-ignore

Bill Clinton wasn't the only one using tough language to sell this tough crime bill; Hillary, in selling this punitive bill to the public, added her own red-meat rhetoric, calling kids in gangs "super-predators" without conscience or empathy:

"We also have to have an organized effort against gangs, just as in the previous generation we had an organized effort against the mob. We need to take these people on. They are often connected to drug cartels. They are not just gangs of kids anymore. They are often the kinds of kids that are called 'super-predators.' No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about how they got that way but first we have to bring them to heel...."

[George II]

25. I guess she was convincing since her opponent in this year's Democratic primaries voted for it.

32.

the difference is he now supports decriminalization of mj

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/19/bernie-sanders-marijuana_n_7337454.html

We have been engaged in for decades now with a huge cost and the destruction of a whole lot of lives of people who were never involved in any violent activities," he told Time.

Sanders' home state is one of 23 that have already legalized marijuana for medical purposes. It's also one of 19 that have decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use. In addition, Vermont is one of a handful of states currently exploring legislation that would legalize recreational marijuana. At least 10 states, including Vermont, are expected to consider these or similar legalization measures by 2016.

A string of recent polls have shown that a majority of Americans support the legalization of marijuana. Yet the federal government continues to ban the plant, classifying it as one of the "most dangerous" drugs alongside heroin and LSD.

"It's really exciting to have Sen. Sanders express unequivocal support for decriminalization and medical marijuana," said Tom Angell, chairman of the drug policy reform group Marijuana Majority, to The Huffington Post. "And reading between the lines, it seems to me like he's getting ready to endorse full legalization soon. A growing majority of voters supports marijuana reform, and more candidates are starting to recognize that it makes good political sense to court the cannabis constituency instead of criminalize us."

hc does not even support medical mj and will continue the same failed polices that have half a million people in prison for simple possession

bernie's imperfect record came about because he has always supported democratic admins, i can easily get past this because the clintons fooled lots of us

12. "Automated Message: You have been blocked from a group"

14. I think Bernie got that one from that same group of Oligarchs.

15. Typical

I can't say i'm surprised.

[SoapBox]

18. No...More...Clintons.

Over them.

[Duval]

23. SO OVER THEM! eom

20. All of us know that's utter nonsense

Hillary Clinton is a woman of integrity and high ethical standards.

And she's a progressive, too.

[Douglas Carpenter]

21. bankers are a persecuted and oppressed minority

22. Thanks. We need to know!! K&R

[PyaarRevolution]

28. Goldman Sachs....

the assholes who brought you "The Great Depression".

[Ferd Berfel]

31. Hell, She has GOldman people on her campaign committee

What could go wrong there?

would she fill her cabinet and appointed position positions with Wall Streeters - LIKE OBAMA did?

What could go wrong with that?

[CharlotteVale]

34. No wonder they like her new plan to "rein" them in.
