Good point!

They're still beating her email business to death. And this strange phrase keeps coming up among on-camera reporters so far: "there's no smoking gun."

Think THAT will be the end of it? PATHETIC! They tried this never-ending persecution shit with her husband when he was President and the most they ever got was a stained blue dress.

And btw, Sancho, MOST interesting reading!

I kept getting these Bernie Sanders emails...

Don't know why. I never signed up. So I just kinda let it go - not feeling one way or another about it. He's running for the Dem nomination, I'm a Dem, might as well hang onto 'em for reference. But yesterday I finally decided - hey, I'm a Hillary supporter. And I'm almost strangling under all the emails I get (from EVERYBODY AND EVERYWHERE and on loads of subjects from the bead world to the band world to politics to green living etc etc etc). I probably should thin things out a little. So I decided to unsubscribe.

And here's what I got:

UNSUBSCRIBE
We’re sad to see you’re endorsing the Koch Brothers’ agenda in 2016!
Okay, we know you’re not doing that — you probably just don’t want to get so many emails from the campaign.

Grassroots mobilization is how we’ll level the playing field against candidates with SuperPACs and wealthy donors. We hope you’ll reconsider leaving, make a contribution to the campaign, or join us on social media at:

You can also choose to receive fewer emails — we’ll only send you what we think are the most important messages from our campaign.

Yeah, wasn't it just a "coinky-dink" - they were yearning for "a new Pearl Harbor" as the kind of

tipping point they thought they needed to get a good ol' war started.



There used to be these two acronyms that came up all the time during bush/cheney: "LIHOP" and "MIHOP" = "Let It Happen On Purpose" and "Make It Happen On Purpose." I'm of the "LIHOP" crowd. They were warned. In dozens of different ways. From the Russians, the Europeans, even Mossad. Even their own FBI ("Gee, we're getting tips about these Arab types taking flying lessons in Florida and all they want to do is learn how to fly the plane, NOT to take off or land...&quot and when one young CIA dude went to the pig farm in Crawford Texas to warn the dry-drunk a few weeks ahead of time, bush reportedly told him "okay, you've covered yer ass now."

It's enough to make a body SICK. Certainly our body politick has become dreadfully ill.

Amen to that!

Double standard, much?

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
