    You mean the Hillary Clinton who said that it was okay to have different public versus private opinions on things, as an elected official, who got PAID to give speeches to wall Street, who used her influence to get the apparatchiks of the party to tip the scales in 2016 to ensure that SHE would be the nominee instead of an anti neo liberal who could have put up an amazing contrast to djt instead of her neoliberal centrism? The one who insisted that SHE needed to be president, and who very much helped us to get into the situation we find ourselves in today? Oh, cool. I am very much interested in what she has to say, because of course she holds the interests of the country above her own

    This is great. Yes, I hate Hillary with the white hot heat of seven suns too.

    We need anyone with influence to be shining a light on this. She will reach a portion of the people that aren’t following reason. Hell, I applauded Joe fucking Rogan for a critical piece on Trump.

    We’re stronger united.

        Oh he’s awful alright. He’s a notoriously soft interviewer who gives his large platform to misinformation, but he also pressed Trump over “having the election stolen,” and agreed to disagree.

        That doesn’t mean anything to you or me, but it may add uncertainty to a brain dead Rogan/Trump follower.

          I also believe he cancelled on Kamala. Apparently she did agree to an interview and then he dropped her over “scheduling issues” but still had Trump come on.

            Even those can be a rough watch. Neil has a bad habit of speaking with conviction on topics outside his expertise, and Rogan just sits there saying “wow.”

              That’s true, I have noticed NDT likes to step outside his field of study but at least he isn’t trying to politically motivate people to vote for fascist. So yea he has his flaws but at least he is pushing people towards science.

    It’s interesting how no matter what level of depravity the Republicans are doing currently and how many news outlets are talking about it ad naseum, Microwave always finds the angles that pit progressives against liberals and centrists.

      Don’t forget all the things they did to protect federal workers like:

      But of course you can’t forget the ways they got popular policy enacted when their man was in office. Policy like:

      It could be that Microwave is seeking such takes out because he’s trying to control the conversation in that way, or it could be that such takes are the easiest to find because the mainstream media is trying to control the conversation in that way.

You probably think it was good Biden pardoned his son. Enjoy losing elections until you learn this lesson time after time. You deserve all of this.

    In 1994 the Clinton admin (her and Bill literally ran as a “two for one” in case you didn’t know) did the largest RIF in federal history cutting a quarter million feds out. Using mostly the same methods trump is today.

    The numbers were just now coming back.

    So really, she’s probably just mad he’s doing such a bad job of it, or more likely gloating that she did it better to her inner circle.

    But there’s a reason trump was a big do or back then, and why the Clinton’s went to his wedding.

      It’s crazy to watch how people have blotted Trump’s decades of pandering to every corner of the NY political establishment (while laundering money for the mob and their friends in the dirty-as-dishwater NYPD). Nevermind how the Epstein web neatly ensnared liberals and conservatives alike, for the purpose of extorting them to enrich his investor clients and enhance his credibility as a powerful insider lobbyist.

      Trump’s the symptom of a much deeper rot. Our refusal to acknowledge that is as much a part of the problem with the modern political landscape as his actual presidency. Its the reason why guys like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are so impotent in their opposition.

      The Clintons, the Bushes, Bloomberg, the Cuomos, Bracewell & Giuliani, Howard Lutnick and the Cantor Fitzgerald investment bank, Bill Akman and Russell Vought… they’re all friends from way back. This doesn’t begin and end with one bruised ego in 2014. If Mathew Thomas Crooks had been a better shot, the administrative state would still be getting demolished right now.

      People are downvoting you, but you’re absolutely right. These youngsters don’t know just how much (most) people adored Trump up until ~2015.

      I still think Bill and Hillary have/had an open marriage and that they only went with adultery because they figured it would be easier for the public to stomach than the truth which (I believe ) is likely to be a purely political marriage with secret lovers often.

            No I grew up in NJ. Most people thought he was a blowhard and an asshole around me but then again I grew up in a town filled with bankers and financiers so they likely knew him IRL. He was always a fucking clown.

              Ah. Fair enough. I literally knew nothing about him growing up as a kid in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Other than the fact that he was the “you’re fired” guy.

              Until he ran in 2015 he was just some vague celebrity that I remembered seeing once in awhile. Whenever he was mentioned in conversation it was neutral or making fun of him saying “you’re fired”.

        I’m not “old” but I’m not young either, I don’t remember any period where people liked Trump all that much. Maybe it’s because I’m from NY and have pretty much heard about his bullshit on the news my whole life.

        It’s always blown my mind how people from NY could love him suddenly when our whole lives it’s been one article after another about some scumbag thing he did to contractors, or something with a woman. He’d go on Howard Stern and just be a pig with him. Maybe some people liked that part of him, but I never got the impression people liked Trump at least from the 90s onward.

          I probably shouldn’t have used the word “adored” there. I mean personally I knew of his existence but I didn’t really have an opinion on the guy one way or another until his presidential run in 2015. Didn’t like him then and voted against him then.

          I think most people had neutral to positive views on Trump before 2015. I mean you can go look at basically any old magazines he’s mentioned in. Old news articles. He is mostly spoken about in a positive way. The language around Trump and his public image totally changed after 2016.

          Nothing wrong with it. I didn’t intend to paint it as a negative if it came across that way. More just my personal belief on that relationship and what happend when he got caught. I think they thought that more Americans would be able to stomach a cheating president than one in a “fake” marriage. Which today sounds nuts, but the political climate in the 1990s was significantly different.

        It’s not that people adored him.

        It’s that he paid neoliberals to do things that favored the wealthy over average Americans, and Dems were more than happy to take his money and give him what he wants.

        He gave for decades, he got more out of it than some wedding guests. As much as trump never paid his workers, he always paid his politicians.

        And that’s what they cared about.
