Then Hillary Spent All Day
on the Hot Seat
Where Will She Go from There?
To the Electric Chair?
Or to the Throne?
She spent the day on the silly chair and probably will be the next President. This who Benghazi thing make the Republicans look just plain awful.

It pains me to say this, but Jersey is 100% right.
DeleteHillary comes out of this looking stronger. She was the patient adult, patiently fending off partisan attacks.
Gowdy's panel has wasted our time and our money and they have nothing but some verbal parsing to show for it.
More political malpractice from the incompetent boobs in the party of GOOP.
Oh dear! I Tsk tsk tsk! TOLD you elsewhere that "they" had gotten to you –– an assertion you quickly denied –– but I was RIGHT.
DeleteIt's not your fault. You were born too late. For your entire life you have been "marinating" to use your own words in the toxic, degenerative atmosphere created and sustained by Cultural Marxists. Whether you like to think so or not, the popular cultural sepsis, much of which you adore, simply because you grew up with it, and for a long time it was all you knew, has been so infected and permeated by the moral, intellectual and spiritual poison of blatant cultural degeneration that, –– despite all the serious reading you have done, the great store of factual knowledge you've acquired through broad experience and your deep suspicion that something is rotten in the state of "Denmark," –– you can't quite shed the shackles of moral and cultural relativism clamped and welded on you in early childhood by the POPULAR CULTURE working hand-in-glove with the ENEMEDIA.
Don't you realize that "they" NEVER back down, –– NEVER admit they are wrong, –– NEVER, EVER concede a SINGLE POINT to THEIR opposition?
The truth never has and never will matter to "them." ALL that consumes "their" every move is a determination to WIN at ALL COSTS.
"We" try to be "decent" and "fair," while ALL 'they" ever do is VILIFY "us," and "WE" are so thick-witted, we LET "THEM" GET AWAY WITH IT.
IF you take this as a personal attack and allow yourself to respond with anger, you will AGAIN have fallen directly into the trap "they" have set. "THEIR" aim always has and always will be to goad "us" into tearing each other's throats, while "they" gleefully occupy the Catbird Seat.
If you think making an attempt to be "fair" to THEM is a winning tactic, I can sell you the whole of Long Island for less than 100K.
FT: And you have been marinating in FOX News.
DeleteI am not defending Hillary. She has been criminally negligent on the world stage. The refugee crisis Europe is suffering through is a direct result of her criminal malfeasance in Libya.
That the GOOP cannot pin her to the mat on verifiable facts speaks to their political malpractice and complete collapse as a useful political entity.
If "they" have "gotten" to anyone, it's to the serial fumblers in the GOOP.
Your tone is scolding and condescending, but I don't hold it against you. You're sitting on your throne of superiority, and you fail to listen to my arguments about facing facts. I understand. Some just do not want to entertain unpleasant facts.
FreeThinke, this whole Benghazi "scandal" was always partisan politics. That whole "scandal," from the beginning had nothing to do with the tragic losses on that terrible day in Libya, but about a talking point about a dumb right wing anti-Islam video on YouTube. But it didn't matter, because a day later the administration came out and said that the event must have been planned (before the video came out) because of the way it went down. That was that. But nooooo.... and here we are three years later, nothing learned, nothing gained, nothing accomplished, and the "investigation" now has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with anything around that event at all.
DeleteNow, you may recall, some years ago, an "investigation" into a small real estate speculation scheme in Arkansas. There may have been some financial (unfortunately very common) hanky panky going on, but regardless, the development failed, those who could be proved to be involved in any hanky panky were punished (a little, also unfortunately common), and the Clinton's (so common it got really old many years ago) only lost money on the deal. In the end, the House Republicans voted to impeach the President of the United States for a very personal lie at a civil deposition in an unrelated (to any of this) state court.
The American people are not THAT stupid, FT. We can clearly see who playing politics here. I am not the partisan here. I am speaking as a grown-up, serious American.
JMJ
BOO! I have always done my thinking for myself, and saw the deleterious effects the left wing has wrought long before Rush Limbaugh made his first broadcast, and long before FOX News was even a gleam in Roger Ailes's eye.
DeleteI've been aware since the 1940's that the New York Times had profound Communist sympathies, and was heavily engaged in promoting a covert anti-American, pro-Stalinist agenda since the 1920's at least.
How did I know? Everyone in my very street-wise family SAID so. That's how.
I am anything but a devotee of FOX News. They're obviously "in the tank" for the RINO Establishment, which in my never humble opinion is even worse than the D'Rats.
As for "facing facts" some of the committee members did an EXCELLENT job pinning down Mrs. Clinton. Representative Jordan of Ohio was masterful in forcing the revelation that she KNEW all along that the raid on the our Embassy in that accursed country was in fact a well-planned TERRORIST ATTACK. She admitted it in emails to her family and to the Egyptian government, but STILL endorsed the utterly false narrative that the horrifying event was the result of an amateur anti-Muslim VIDEO floated on the internet. Another representative –– a woman by the name of Brooks, also from Ohio –– was also incisive and effective in her questioning of Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Gowdey remained dignified and composed, but still managed to get in a few zingers.
I did not buy her story that she later received "intelligence" supposedly confirming the notion that the video DID in fact cause a "spontaneous demonstration of outrage" that led to the tragic death of Ambassador, Chris Stevens, and three other brave Americans who defied orders to "stand down," and went in anyway to try to help him.
I did not watch the entire thing. It was incredibly tedious, and I could see that no matter what was said, asked or brought to light was going to cause H. Rodham Clinton to crack. The woman has balls made of titanium, and a hide like a carapace rivaling the toughest tortoise shell on the planet.
What you say may be factually correct, since it seems to be the interpretation most have accepted, but I think it very poor judgment to emphasize, underline and trumpet about unkind thoughts about those who have done their best at least to TRY to "pin the tail" on the Donkey that IS the quintessence of what it means to be a DemocRat today.

DeleteWe do not accept gratuitous insults, nor do we permit anyone to engage in personal vendettas, Mr. Meyer. Sensible criticism based on logic is welcome, whether it supports our views or not. Sheer nastiness is completely unacceptable.
DeleteWe thank you for your future cooperation.
All that time and money spent just to prove Hillary is a liar? We knew that already, and the lie is immaterial and not indictable.
DeleteOther than uncovering here clandestine e-mail server, it's all partisan weak tea.
The GOOPers failed because they should have burnished in bright red the following facts:
* Ambassador Stevens asked for more security and Hillary failed to provide it, resulting in his death and the death of other Americans
* The Obama Administration failed to rescue Americans pleading for help on that night. They left Americans to die. Didn't have assets in place? Obama and Hillary were in charge, they get the blame.
* Obama and Hillary burned down Libya with no plan for the aftermath.
If politics operated like the finance industry and what they did to Carl Icahn, Hillary and Obama would be prohibited by law from even talking about foreign policy, let alone actually trying to conduct their grossly negligent brand of it.
Apparently, Ambassador Stevens, or persons on his staff, asked for added security and support SIX HUNDRED TIMES, Silver. That came out during Thursday's hearing. I don't recall ever hearing that before, do you?
DeleteAnd STILL H.Rodham Clinton flatly DENIED that Stevens ever asked for any help whatsoever. –– and GOT AWAY WITH IT.
What could anyone DO to get the truth out of a practiced prevaricator like that who, apparently, is clothed in armor made of titanium, short of ATTACKING HER BODILY, –– putting her on The Rack, –– threatening her with The Breast Ripper, –– the Catherine Wheel –– the Judas Cradle –– the Stake –– or the Oubliette?
As I've said hundreds of times., Democrats win by subjecting the country to endless WARS of ATTRITION.
Is that a tactic espoused by SAUL ALINSKY –– or was it one of the members of the infamous FRANKFURT SCHOOL?
The Clinton Crime Syndicate can slice the legal baloney paper thin, my friend, and they artfully parse the truth until it is indistinguishable from reality, but Republicans and the American people knew that already.
DeleteI swear, that woman must have a pact with the Devil.
Also, in answer to your defeatism charge aimed at me...
I hope to see people's eyes opened and Hillary exposed for the corrupt incompetent she is (the Sidney Blumenthal war profiteering she apparently facilitated also got lost in the noise--a damning indictment by my lights)
God sees the truth, but waits...
FROM ALWAYS ON WATCH
ReplyDeleteRepublican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan took issue with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton‘s comment that protests had erupted in both Cairo, Egypt and Benghazi, Libya, citing evidence from the House Select Committee’s investigation stating that no protest of any kind had occurred in Benghazi. He then went on to quote from various State Department spokespersons who, in the weeks following the Sept. 11, 2012 attack, claimed that the incident in Benghazi was linked to the Cairo-based protest, which was a reaction to an offensive online video.
Where’d the false narrative start? It started with you, Madame Secretary,” said Jordan, adding that a statement released by Clinton the night of the attack suggests as much. “At 10:08, with no evidence. At 10:08, before the attack is over. At 10:08, when Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty are still on the roof of the annex fighting for their lives, the official statement of the State Department blames a video. Why?”
Clinton proceeded to emphasize her official statement’s use of the phrase “some have sought,” which described the efforts of a small group to use the video as a means of inciting anti-American sentiments in Egypt, Libya and elsewhere in the region. “I used those words deliberately. Not to ascribe a motive to every attacker, but as a warning to those across the region that there was no justification for further attacks.”
However, Jordan just couldn’t let the discrepancy go, citing additional emails and calls made to the Libyan president, the Egyptian prime minister and her own family. In all three messages, Clinton said that the State Department knew that “the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack — not a protest.”
When Clinton again referenced her statement’s language, Jordan erupted.
“Calling it an attack is like saying the sky is blue. Of course it was an attack! We want to know the truth. The statement you sent out was a statement on Benghazi, and you say ‘vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material on the Internet.’ If that’s not pointing at its motive being the video, I don’t know what is. And that’s certainly how the American people saw it.”
“There was a lot of conflicting information that we were trying to make sense of,” said Clinton. “The situation was fluid. It was fast-moving.”
Jordan pressed on, repeating his previous comments and criticizing Clinton’s attempted answers to them. Two bantered back and forth for a few minutes, but when the congressman had to wrap up, he reiterated his main line of argument — that Clinton was able to “tell the truth” to her own family and foreign diplomats, but not the American people.
When chairman Trey Gowdy asked Clinton whether or not she wanted to respond, she plugged her book.
“I wrote a whole chapter about this in my book, Hard Choices. I’d be glad to send it to you, congressman.” [SNOTTY BITCH!]
Clinton brought brass knuckles and she owned the GOP midgets.
DeleteIt was ugly, but you better get used to it. She'll be thumping their gourds on a regular basis once she's president.
Everything is a matter of "perception," Senor Arbusto. People tend to see only what they WANT to see according to their pre-conceived notions.
DeleteA considerable number of indisputable FACTS unflattering to Mrs. Clinton's inept, uncaring, arrogantly self-serving performance as Secretary of State have come to light as a result of the Republican inquiries. The same is true of their attempt to hold the IRS accountable for flagrantly partisan skullduggery. Neither H. Rodham Clinton, Lois Lerner, –– nor the fatheaded individual who heads the IRS –– should escape severe punishment for their outrageous behavior.
HOWEVER, the Washington-Enemedia-Cartel, –– which INCLUDES the Establishment Republicans –– is so corrupt, so power-hungry, and so viciously determined to ward off any and all challenges to their ascendancy that TRUTH means NOTHING to them, UNLESS it just HAPPENS to serve THEIR [usually nefarious] purposes.
And by the way, if H. Rodham Clinton did nothing wrong, and had nothing to hide, WHY did she do everything possible to DELAY turning over subpoenaed evidence –– a tactic that necessitated the extreme length, and often tediously redundant appearance of the Republican investigations?
Even more outrageous was her wanton attempt to DESTROY the CONTENTS of her ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL PRIVATE EMAIL SERVER.
She has been PROTECTED by the non-partisan Power Cartel who have succeeded in CONFUSING, BORING, and ENERVATING the ignorant, dimly-aware, improperly-informed American Public to the point where "We the People" now see those who have DARED to INVESTIGATE this Ultimate Power Chick as nothing more than a "POLITICALLY-MOTIVATED" NUISANCE guilty of WASTING MILLIONS of TAXPAYER'S DOLLARS on an UNPRINCIPLED POLITICAL VENDETTA.
At this point, what difference does it make? Her powers of evil are stronger after this hearing.

ReplyDeleteHillary’s record for honesty and ethical behavior has always been less than impeccable. Let’s take a walk down memory lane with 7 of Hillary’s biggest lies…
1. Chelsea Clinton was jogging around the World Trade Center on 9/11. Immensely insensitive to those who actually were affected by this horrific attack, Hillary later admitted that Chelsea was actually safely in her Union Square apartment at the time of the attack.
2. She landed under sniper fire in Bosnia. In true Brian Williams-esque form, to listen to Hillary’s account, she was ducking and running in a dramatic M*A*S*H type arrival scene in fear for her life. In actuality, she and Chelsea can be seen on video walking across the Bosnian tarmac… smiling and greeting well wishers. But hey, anybody could misremember deadly sniper fire, right?
3. She was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, one of the first two men to climb Mt. Everest. This one’s just embarrassing. Sir Hillary didn’t actually climb Mt. Everest (AKA, achieve any fame worth naming a child after) until Hillary Clinton was 6 years old. Ouch. So either Hillary’s mom was lying about her namesake Hillary’s entire life, or she waited until Hillary was 6 to name her, or Hillary just, you know, misspoke. Again.
4. Her family was dead broke when they left the White House. They only made $12 MILLION the year after Bill Clinton’s Presidency. I guess when you’re used to living off the taxpayer’s billions funding your vacations, private airfare and security, food, housing, and all, a measly few millions could be a rough adjustment, huh?
5. She claims to have been instrumental in the Northern Ireland peace process. Except those who actually were at the negotiating table say Hillary was nowhere to be seen…
6. She’s just like you. No, really. Because every woman in America has one child who’s always attended private schools, was married to a President, had a personal chef, flies in a environment polluting personal jet, and makes about $200K for every speaking engagement. Duh.
7. Benghazi – it was a disgusting video! The worst of the worst. We know for a fact, based on State Department documents, that not only was Benghazi a terrorist attack, but Hillary knew it was a terrorist attack which had absolutely nothing to do with a YouTube video. Not only did she lie about Benghazi, she failed to act in response to the attack, and 4 American lives were lost in the conflict.
8. and NOW the E-Mails
At this point, what difference does it make?
DeleteHillary came out the winner. Americans don't trust her, but they will vote for her.
She'll mount her broom with an evil cackle and fly to the white house, where she will unleash her flying monkeys on the cringing, cowering, no-brains, no-heart, no-courage GOPissants.
H. Rodham Clinton continually gets away with "murder," only because she has been PROTECTED by the partisan Power Cartel who have succeeded in CONFUSING, BORING, and ENERVATING the ignorant, dimly-aware, improperly-informed American Public to the point where "We the People" now see those who have DARED to INVESTIGATE this Ultimate Power Chick as nothing more than a "POLITICALLY-MOTIVATED" NUISANCE guilty of WASTING MILLIONS of TAXPAYER'S DOLLARS on a DISHONEST, UNPRINCIPLED POLITICAL VENDETTA.
DeleteOnce again, the GOP is made to look foolish and partisan and Hillary comes across as the adult in the room.
ReplyDeleteIt's almost like the GOP is on her payroll, isn't it?
DeleteI disagree with that. The woman 'comes across' as the heartless, soulless, unfeeling, self-centrered monster that she in fact is. Her biggest accomplishment is having learned to lie with a straight face while persuading the army of fiends and ignoramuses who support her that somehow SHE is the VICTIM in these proceedings.
DeleteShe's been at it for so long, in all probability she actually believes her own lies to be the truth.

ReplyDeleteIf Mrs. Cunton was sitting in a hot seat, yesterday, she must have an asbestos ass. Nothing seemed to faze her a bit. She must be one of the most accomplished liars in history. She always wins, because she has no shame, never flinches and never backs down. No heart, no soul, no conscience, guts of steel, and bigger balls than most men.
Maybe she would make a good president at that. Who better to face the likes of Putin and and the Mullahs?
So Hillary Clinton Laughed about the Benghazi Murders yes nothing new here, Hillary Clinton laughs about everything, even the night of the Benghazi attack when asked if she was alone by Rep. Martha Rody on the night of the Benghazi. As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton allowed security to fail at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, blamed the attack on the video, & has failed to punish any state department official for the disaster. The U.S. Military was not allowed to rescue those in the Benghazi Consulate despite the attack lasting hours. There were likely weapons...
DeleteI wonder if she’ll still be laughing when the FBI indicts her.
The deaths of four American’s didn’t mean a damn thing to her and never will.
She's one cold, uncaring piece of garbage.

DeleteThat woman does not laugh, she cackles. She does not smile, she grimaces.
Boris Spitalotski said
ReplyDeleteDees vooman, she afraids me, beeg time.
§;-D=
DeleteMe too, Boris!
As far as the Benghazi hearings are concerned, here is the Bottom line …
ReplyDeleteLet us never forget that four brave American men were killed including our Ambassador to Libya, and an unspecified number wounded, in a terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya on the anniversary of 9/11. Their requests for additional security went unheard and the pleas for help were met with silence and inaction. Even worse, the President of the United States and other high-ranking officials consciously and deliberately lied to the American people about the actions that occurred at Benghazi, prior to Benghazi, and in the aftermath of Benghazi. And even worse, if it could be worse they tried their best to cover it up by lying again about that stupid Video tape being the cause.
If these liberals say that nothing new was found , How about this;
The night of the attack Hillary emailed her daughter Chelsea. and I quote, Note that Hillary names "an Al Queda-like group" being responsible. There was No mention of a video or protest, so why were us Americans told that Cock n Bull story?
Good lord, does this women ever tell the truth?
The news and blogs are full of talking heads, pundits, and partisan “strategists” – the chattering heads, the Bleeding Hearts and all those others who are living in denial – many of whom are quick to make this inquiry into a partisan witch-hunt in order to save the candidacy of the front-runner Hillary Clinton for the Presidency of the United States. But, while these affairs serve as an unofficial referendum of her qualifications and fitness ( or lack of it ) for office, let us not forget the obligation of the government to fully and accurately explain why our brave men and women were placed in a dangerous position and why it appears that their rescue was seemingly unimportant to those in charge of our nation’s safety and security.
These liberals are petty much the same people who want to deny you your God-given Second Amendment rights to self-defense and to empower criminals who do not obey the laws of our land by creating an even larger pool of potential victims.
It is about time to call out the progressive socialist democrats as a fifth column who want to destroy American from within, often by using our own legislation and laws against us. A neo-Communist organization posing as a traditional political party that refuses to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and uphold the rule of law. A political party so brazen as to run a provably corrupt, lying, criminal as their party’s candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America.
Bottom line: Yesterday we saw Joe Biden Graciously Get Off the Pot
To Make Way For Madam Hillary! Was anyone Fooled?
Thank you. I agree with most of your analysis, but wish it were less verbose. Dense blocks of prose and lack of clear division between paragraphs usually discourage visitors from bothering to read no matter how worthwhile the contents may be.
DeleteThe Party of the Left –– aka the Democrats or the Dictocrats –– claims to have "humanistic" aims behind all its pet projects. I suppose they soon will claim that anyone who opposes their agenda is NOT HUMAN.
ReplyDeleteThat beetle-shelled bitch who spent eleven hours on the hot seat expressing nothing but fake "concern," and pseudo-empathy for the victims of her aloof incompetence, and cold contempt for those who dared to question the motives for her activities as Secretary of State has been proclaimed a "winner" simply because she is so frigid, and so calculating she is incapable of feeling empathy, remorse, contrition or concern for anyone or anything but her lifelong determination to become The Most Powerful Woman in the World.
If such behavior and such a temperament can inspire applause, admiration, and widespread support, you KNOW we are so far gone we may NEVER be able to reclaim our rightful heritage.
Yesterday's hearing on Benghazi was a HORROR SHOW. It's tragic that we've become so acclimated to daily doses of outrage and incessant insults to our intelligence as The New Norm, that few-if-any recognized what they saw for what it truly was.
Despite our exchange above, I completely agree with you and share your disgust and horror. I love "beetle-shelled bitch" btw.
DeleteHillary knows how to play brass-knuckle hardball, while the hapless GOOPers are flicking boogers and shooting spitwads. It's pathetic.
Also, your first cartoon is spot on. An oath means nothing to a cold-blooded reptile with a clanking metallic voice and mechanical eyes that look like they should be staring at you from the window of a UFO...
...which brings me back to my point: Hillary knows how to play the game, while the GOOP is still trying to find out if there really is a game, and if so, where is it located... does anybody have a rule book handy? Where's my football bat?
It sickens and disgusts me, but those are the FACTS
You're probably right, SF, but it does little or no good to EMPHASIZE –– and thereby AGGRANDIZE the magnitude of –– "OUR" defeat.
Delete"THEY" would NEVER do that if that shoe were on the other foot, believe me. "They" always seem to find a way to transform defeat into VICTORY, probably because they have no principles and no respect for the Truth.
When involved in a war –– and make no mistake about it this IS war –– no quarter, no credit, no concessions, no openings, no mercy, no NOTHING should EVER be given to the enemy, until he is broken, bleeding, begging for mercy and crying "UNCLE!" at the top of his lungs with his dying breath.
FT: Agreed. But the GOOPers can't even find the war, so the Dems are in no danger of being "broken, bleeding, begging for mercy and crying "UNCLE"
DeleteMy friend, I must insist that in future you differentiate between the Freedom Caucus - the Know-Nothing Rank and File Followers - and the RINO Establishment. And please stop referring to "GOOPERS." It's ugly, insulting and SELF-DEFEATING when you do.
DeleteIt is the RINO Establishment –– and ONLY the RINO Establishment –– that deserves the scorn you have heaped on an entire party, who –– like it or not –– really is The Last Best Hope for the Survival of America the Beautiful.
Like Whatisname McCarthy that fatheaded fool who was supposed to be our next Speaker, and instead put his shit-caked cloven hoof squarely in his mouth by making the disastrous claim that Trey Gowdy's Investigation was designed purely to destroy H. Rodham Clinton's candidacy, I think you need to realize that EVERY WORD WE SAY AGAINST ONE of OUR OWN CAN and WILL be used as AMMUNITION AIMED at EVERYTHING WE PRAY FOR, HOPE FOR, WISH FOR, and STAND FOR.
Your blog, your rules, but it doesn't matter if its the cock-eyed caucus, the Frito Caucus or whatever, they are all part of the same gooey, goopy mess under the sagging, musty GOP tent where they smash their own thumbs and feet with hammers and shoot themselves in the face with cannons to the roar of laughter from the crowd, and I will continue to heap scorn upon them.
DeleteI won't be one more yapping voice in the Fox New hallelujah choir.
Naturally, I disagree, SF, but like everyone else you have every right to be wrong. ;-)
DeleteYou seem heavily invested in accepting Disaster and Doom as our lot, and offer no hope that things could work to the contrary.
I see no inkling in your rhetoric of a spirited plan to oppose and overcome the evil that has befallen us, only bitter denunciation and enervating self-destructive sentiments. It's more a matter of TONE than substance.
I'm sorry, but I feel compelled to state my disagreement as frankly as you state your own point of view.
BTW, I don't blame you in the least for feeling disheartened and disgusted at the way things are going, but beating up the only forces who even PRETEND to oppose The Oligarchs' Orwellian One World Agenda, doesn't HELP.
I am willing to be persuaded, however, if you care to give a reasoned argument.
Meanwhile, to put it in the vernacular DEFEATISM SUCKS. ;-)
It's not defeatist the believe Hillary is off the hook. All that's left is the FBI investigation, and I hope I'm wrong, but the fix is probably wrong on that as well.
DeleteThe GOP needs to read SunTzu.
Whether or not anything will legally come of Hillary,s crimes is yet to be seen,Trey Gowdy has brought the whole rats nest to the forefront and so far has kept 4 deaths from being completely swept under the rug.
ReplyDeleteThe main thing to come from the present hearings is that if the consulate was removed then the investors would leave, if more security was brought in then the investors would leave, none of which can be proven but any moron can read between the lines, the clinton foundation was the heart of the matter, in order for Hillary to be perceived as the head of the state dept. and not there as the money grubbing bitch that she is was job one, it just so happened that is was in line with obamas bullshit about alkeida on the run.
The FBI investigation will hopefully glean some cannon fodder from the hags statements.
Sounds perfectly plausible to me, but Alas! The Oligarch's Machine –– the force that truly governs us –– wants H. Rodham Clinton OR Jeb Bush in the White House [I frankly don't think it matters which to these "Allmaechtiges Uebermenschen"], so it is all-too-likely that H. Rodham Clinton WILL be a shoo-in in 2016.

There is little or no hope for Truth and Decency to prevail when the public, –– a majority of which has been systematically brainwashed by the leftist Government-Enemedi-Complex for several generations –– have accepted the insane notion that The Party of the Left CARES about THEM and wants to HELP THEM, while the Party of the Right is nothing but a bunch of selfish, stingy bigots, racists, misogynists, homophobes, and mean-spirited religious fanatics who want to establish a Christian Theocracy sure to revive The Inquisition.
The TGOPers will be tearing out their eyeballs today and screaming BENGHAZI! even LOUDER!!! because the hearing was a total wipe-out and Hillary wiped the floor with them. Even their own people know it. Their blogs will now explode with more name-calling and more BENGHAZI! The poor schmucks don't understand they've been eaten by the Hildebeast!! Hahahahaha.

DeleteNow you Wingers know why we can't take your side very seriously. Mrs. Clinton took responsibility for what happened more than once. Did you hound Ronald Reagan when he was responsible for the deaths of 271 marines? For the consuls and ambassador who were attacked an/or killed during the Bush 1 and Bush 2 administrations? Of course not, because they were of your tribe.
ReplyDeleteThe hunt for Clinton is over. You guys pushed this into the ditch and the American people are sick of your politicizing this tragedy.
TO the author of the 'Crap Sandwich" above and all the rest of you CLINTON SYCOPHANTS. Proof positive of your amoral, stupid and delusional devotion to a power hungry, old woman who has demonstrated time and time again that she is a liar and will say anything to gain power. No matter what the outcome may be.
DeleteYesterday at the Benghazi hearing a copy of an email to her daughter was proof-positive that she KNOWINGLY LIED about the "video" that led to the "protest" that led to the tragedy at the American Embassy and the deaths of four Americans. She admitted in that email that it was not a spontaneous attack that began as a protest over the alleged video. She admitted the same to Egyptian authorities, yet she persisted in lying to the families of those killed and the American people, along with other members of the Obama administration. Their sole purpose was to protect Obama prior to the upcoming election, 56 days out.
For weeks after the burning of the embassy and murder of the four Americans she continued to advance the lie that it was because of the anti-Muslim video, which she already knew was a lieA d she even lied to the face's of their loved ones as they carried in their loved ones caskets. How dreadful can a person be?
It's time for an adjustment to your moral compass, liberals, and see Obama and Clinton for what they are: lying, manipulative, power-hungry politicians! And THIS is the person you want for your leader?
God help us all.
Thank you, Jessie. None of us has yet mentioned it has come to light that over SIX-HUNDRED emails from the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi were sent to the State Department begging for added protection from the violence they knew was coming, and ALL SIX-HUNDRED were IGNORED. Secretary Clinton blithely dismissed this disgrace saying in effect that protecting embassy personnel abroad was "NOT MY JOB."
DeleteSHE was the BOSS, the HEAD of the whole Shebang, If it wasn't HER job, who-in-hell's "job" WAS it?
Mrs. Clinton took responsibility for what happened more than once.
ReplyDeleteHow much time in prison has she served?
Every time that woman's lips move another LIE escapes to further befoul the toxic atmosphere of American politics today.
DeleteAnd... 60 people died during the GWB years at embassies/consulates. Where was the GOP outrage then?
ReplyDeleteWill wait for your reply.

Of course we CAN'T, but very sadly a significant majority who've been systematically rendered deaf, dumb and blind by the Government-Enemedia-Complex aka The Washington Cartel WILL follow their Dear Leader RIGHT over the CLIFF.

ReplyDeleteCould it be because the American people are as SICK of the Bengazhi BS as they are of the. Email so called scandal !
Yes, Mr. Thinke, , the majority agrees that Hillary did great and the TGOP sucked.
I can tell that is true by the number of comments in my Comment Moderation where they're screaming about Benghazi and Hillary and saying nothing. They lost; Hillary won. And she made a fool of them. That's hard to take, I know, so it explains their filling my comment section with howls of outrage and stupid comments. I love the "delete" button.
I would suggest that "Mr. Thinke Delete this Peice of garbage.

The Hillary Clinton So Called Benghazi Testimony!
ReplyDeleteWhy didn’t they ask Donald Trump if Obama and Hillary Clinton had Kept our Diplomats Safe?
I read where one poster, said than Richard Nixon’s Editing of Tapes was worse than Hillary’s “ private server” kit and caboodle, pack of lies about her emails! Don’t’ you just love it when these Liberal’s dig up stories from the dead! Or Blame either the previous administration or the already dead!
Well as they say, lets look at the video tape!
For those who want a taste of what the questioning will looks like, here is a interpretation of what it will be like, So What Differences Will It make?”
In spite of Kevin McCarthy’s inopportune, and stupid remark that the Committee had Hillary Clinton’s candidacy in mind, and said the whole thig was purely political. Lets not forget that the attack could have been anticipated and could have been avoided.
While I feel that I already know what happened in Benghazi, it is unlikely that the public will ever know the full truth and the participants who were as guilty as sin will be found to be NOT guilty However, already knowing this as an American citizen here are some of the questions I would like to be answered!
Who concocted, conceived, and put-out the concocted “video” story and why was that narrative necessary when the truth was readily available?
Why was there an attempt to cover-up or obscure the actual activities related to the Benghazi attack?
Were documents that were to be made available to the Accountability Review Board inspected prior to their transfer to the Review Board and were any of those documents withheld from the Board?
Who was involved in inspecting these documents and making decisions on what documents that were to be withheld?
Who told the Accountability Review Board that the Secretary of State and others were not to be questioned and on what basis was that decision made?
Why was the Department of State not forthcoming on providing information to this Congressional Committee and explaining that the requested principal’s emails were contained on devices beyond control of the Department of State and could not be made available in a timely manner?
And most importantly, WHY did Hillary and UN Secretary Susan Rice’s claim to the press, and the American public that the attack on the Benghazi compound killing Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans was due to an anti-Muslim youtube video after already KNOWING it was a complete lie!!!
So Mr. Liberal, PLEASE, don’t tell me about Nixon’s tape when the Benghazi Scandal Is “Obama's, and Hillary’s Watergate” But Only Worse! Watergate didn’t Murder 4 American’s! And don’t anybody tell me that Hillary Clinton would make “an excellent president.” Because I am NOT buying that for one second!
GOOD GIRL, ANITA! An excellent comprehensive summary and an equally good set of questions that deserve to be answered.

Just a friendly tip from an old newspaper editor.

ReplyDeleteFirst let me say that I don't double space because my posts (long as they are). Would not fit in the space provided .
ReplyDeleteNow;
According to Hillary today, she thought that Ambassador Stevens' plea for more security and his warnings were a “BIG JOKE”! She laughed and made light of the fact that the State Dept did not even give him simple traffic barricades for his own protection, that he had to reach out to other nation's ambassadors / reps / state departments to try to get the minimum defense / security equipment he needed.
When I was in the Military that was called leaving a man behind , hanging him out to dry'! Hillary ABANDONED STEVENS, and he had to scrounge around to try to find what he could to save his own life because the State Department sure wasn't helping!
The LAST place Clinton needs to EVER be is in the White House
Hillary show the world that she accomplished a rare combination of gross negligence and incompetence. Now isn’t that rare for Her Highness. Sounds to me like she's perfect for President, after all who doesn't love liars?
How much proof do we need that Hillary is a liar and incompetent? I know that doesn't matter to the liberal but geez, it should matter to real Americans
Looks much better, Anita. And again you make excellent points. I would only add that SIX-HUNDRED pleas for added support and protection were sent to the State Department by the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi and from what we learned last week ALL were IGNORED.
DeleteNow, please let me show you that double spacing WILL work for you. Your earlier post is worth repeating, so I'm posting again just below and edited to include double spacing.
Thank you VERY much.

The above is an edited restatement of ANITA's large earlier post above. I thought she addressed most of the important aspects of the sad affair very well, and asked questions that cannot be asked often enough till someone provides satisfactory answers. [Admittedly, hell may freeze over long before that occurs, but we must keep hope alive. Sooner or later "Murder will out" as Chaucer said, but we must cultivate the patience of Job if we ever hope to see it.]

Delete~ Socrates (470-399 B. C. )
Yes, Hillary Clinton came out smelling like a stale fart on the Benghazi hearings after 11 grueling hours of Q & A. Why? There is no way that anyone can sit there for 11 hours and continue to lie, and make up stories and yet convince the panel without exposing herself as the fraud she is. Everyone was able to see right thru her, and the sight was a horror. Believe me
ReplyDeleteRe your Updates: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWN.....................
ReplyDeleteRight wing activists say it wasn't a triumph for Hillary? That's news?
She's off scott free. Yes, there's still that pesky little FBI investigation, but Obama will tidy that up for her soon enough.
Get out of the echo chamber, young man. The American people have spoken: "What difference does it make?"
"The AMERICAN PEOPLE have spoken?"
DeleteHow so? They haven't had a voice in policy making decisions in decades. They are either so 'dumbed down" as to be totally disengaged, or those who try to pay attention end up being totally brainwashed by the Government-Enemedia Complex (Orwell called it "The Ministry of Truth") whose sole purpose it to portray FALSEHOOD as TRUTH and VICE VERSA.
Those few who are still able to think for themselves are branded as "Fringe Right Lunatics" and ritually derided everywhere.
Now you know why she demanded this hearing be open to the public. All the others that have been deposed were in private. She and the lame Dims on the panel needed the theatrics because that is what they sell... theatre. Of course, immediately after, the media tell us how wonderful she did! Finally knowing she lied to the families of the victims as well as the public about the video, didn´t even make it thru the nonsense.
ReplyDeleteMy hope now is that when she touts her accomplishments we can at least hear how it seemed nothing really came to her for decisions, so how competent can she be?
And yet, the democrats and media will still support the old gal. Like Obama, she has the ability to do or say anything regardless of the content or consequences and will receive a pass. I thought there for a moment that the old battle axe was in trouble. My mistake. I see now that this hearing has rejuvenated her. Biden´s decision cleared the way and she is on a roll. God help us. We will have to witness another farcical narrative driven by a dishonest media proclaiming her nomination in the bag, the winning brilliance of her campaign, and the certain defeat of any opponent. The drumbeat starts now. Her campaign will be built on the bodies of four dead Americans and the proven lie she told to their families and the American people. Gird your loins, Hillary is going to be the final nail in the coffin of this nation barring divine intervention.
Hillary and pretty much this entire administration and the Democrat Party are incompetent and destructive because their socialistic ideology is. When they make wrong decisions and fail to do what is right, protect America and Americans, they scramble to produce an excuse or blame someone else. Hillary and Barack are very good at making excuses, terrible and producing anything worthwhile.
Hillary has been caught red-handed, failing to protect our ambassador and then lying about it to save face. She is a complete and utter failure, just like the president, yet they will continue to believe they have done nothing wrong. Their arrogance and high opinion of “self”, is stunning. They must believe they are superior human beings and we are wrong for not trusting them.
The Benghazi hearings can be viewed as a failure, but what really happened is a liar continued to tell her lies and was able to convince herself and her blind followers that she was victorious. Barack does the same thing. Very few people had a change of mind about her. Even when they know she is lying, they will forgive her and cast their vote for her because they share her lack of character and values and actually feel empathy for her.
Democrat voters are the most ignorant people on earth; ignorant because they are being played like fiddles by a Party that knows no truth and has enslaved them to their Party. They have used the public treasury in the form of monthly government checks and subsidies, which someone else will have to pay back. They have legalized and legislated sin, so nobody is held accountable. They are literally giving away their freedoms and rights, handing them to a Party that will use them to enslave the rest of us. It is criminal!
It's all working out for Hillary
ReplyDeleteShe Just keeps lying and being outrageous and her base of Dumbbells loves her
The Black caucus is very receptive to dummies.
So just keep mouthing the lies and she could eind up winning. As we know the left loves dummies, just look at Barack , and Uncle Joe

Something which seems to have gotten lost in many discussions (from the first link in the body of the blog post):
ReplyDeleteShe reiterated that she was the chief architect of the war in Libya. Clinton has to claim that the U.N.-authorized Libyan air campaign in 2011 was a model of successful foreign intervention, because Clinton was the one who urged Barack Obama, over the strong misgivings of others, to intervene in that civil war.
[...]
...Clinton can't blame this one on George W. Bush.
Interesting.
I've been puzzled as to why the Obama administration's insistence on blaming Benghazi on a "film."
Clearly, the film was not the cause of the attack on Benghazi.
And I have found it impossible to believe that the cover story was created to guarantee Obama's re-election in 2012.
But it's not realistic to think that the cover-up was engineered for Election 2012, IMO. After all, Libya was -- and is -- a dangerous place. Therefore, an attack on our consulate there should not have come as a surprise in the first place.
What is reasonable: the cover-up was engineered to guarantee Hillary a run at the White House in 2016.
And those 600 requests for additional security being denied? Same principle! If Hillary's State Department had deployed more security, word would have gotten out that "Hillary's War" was ill-conceived.
From the PJ Media link:
ReplyDeleteThe State Department under Clinton was found to have broken the law in failing to sign a waiver for security at Benghazi.
Under patient but persistent questioning from Rep. Susan Brooks (R-IN), Clinton admitted that she had not signed a waiver for security arrangements on the site, as required by the Secure Embassy Construction and Counterterrorism Act of 1999 (SECCA), 22 USC § 4865 2(B)(ii).
And despite her claims to the contrary, Clinton did not do everything possible to send help to Benghazi on the night of the attacks. Thanks to Rep. Lynn Westmoreland’s questioning, we know that she decided not to send the FES (Foreign Emergency Support) team to rescue Americans.
This has been overlooked in every other report I've found the time to read!
1999 law? Under Slick Willie's administration! How did Hillary not know about that?
SF,
ReplyDeleteYou typed in the following early in this thread:
The GOOPers failed because they should have burnished in bright red the following facts:
* Ambassador Stevens asked for more security and Hillary failed to provide it, resulting in his death and the death of other Americans
* The Obama Administration failed to rescue Americans pleading for help on that night. They left Americans to die. Didn't have assets in place? Obama and Hillary were in charge, they get the blame.
* Obama and Hillary burned down Libya with no plan for the aftermath.
The hearing did drag on and on and on -- to the point that salient facts were buried in verbosity.
Lawyers say, "We'll bury them in paperwork." It's a common tactic in the legal profession -- and, now, in education, too.
Obfuscation works, you know.
What I think caused those hearings to drag on and on and on: the GOP members of the committee were drooling for another bizarre outburst from Hillary. Well, I just knew it wasn't going to happen.
Why?
Call it a woman's intuition.
Hillary is no longer on steroids.
The brain swelling from her "brain event" has subsided.
Look at her the past several months! No more steroids bloat. And no more roid rage now, either.
Interesting observation. You should be a professional commentator. I think you've nailed it,
DeleteSF,
DeleteI have given the matter quite a bit of thought.
I would also like to point out that she was wearing a prism on at least one of the lenses of her eyeglasses when she had that outburst ("What difference does it make?"). Wearing a prism such as that indicates a brain event. I know this for a fact because Mr. AOW had to wear such a prism for several months after his brain hemorrhage.
I also know a bit about the side effects of steroids prescribed for brain swelling. Mr. AOW was prescribed steroids following his acoustic neuroma brain surgery in 1993. The steroids were prescribed for double vision caused by that brain swelling.
If I'm correct in my assessment of Hillary's health, taking steroids and wearing a prism on her eyeglasses indicate a serious brain event belying the narrative given about her health.
Addendum,
DeleteThere is also the matter of Hillary's hypothyroidism.
Also see Myxedema coma:
Myxedema coma or severe decompensated hypothyroidism usually requires admission to the intensive care, close observation and treatment of abnormalities in breathing, temperature control, blood pressure, and sodium levels. Mechanical ventilation may be required, as well as fluid replacement, vasopressor agents, careful rewarming, and corticosteroids (for possible adrenal insufficiency which can occur together with hypothyroidism). Careful correction of low sodium levels may be achieved with hypertonic saline solutions or vasopressin receptor antagonists.[6] For rapid treatment of the hypothyroidism, levothyroxine or liothyronine may be administered intravenously, particularly if the level of consciousness is too low to be able to safely swallow medication.[6]
Also see THIS, including the hot links.
I haven't yet reached my own conclusions about that matter.
And check out THIS IMAGES of hands swollen because of steroid use.

They've hammered Obama for 7 years because they kept saying his inexperience in foreign policy made America weak. Now comes their darling candidate Carson who not only has no experience with foreign policy, but he has no experience in government. I wonder if the nincompoops who support Carson would go to a surgeon with no experience in operating on brains? The Baggers think an inexperienced guy whose prone to making moronic statements and is also a science denier would be a terrific representtion of America?

I find that the Hillarysupporters are generally clueless about who she really is, what her record is and should hold her responsible for everything that she has done to this country. These are Undeniable Reasons why You SHOULD NOT and CAN NOT Vote Hillary
If you are offended by this post, I’ll bet you voted for the idiots who are running our great country into the ground.. Hillary Clinton was MIA when the 3am phone call came from Benghazi.
The weak minded wingnuts are now diagnosing Hillary via the internet. Some school teacher swears she knows all about Hillary;s medical condition because her uncle had the same thing, so it must be true. They think she's had brain-swelling and has been on steroids.They're positively obsessed with Clinton. What they can't understand with their feeble intellects is that no one with any medical condition could have lasted 11 hours of grilling and stupid question by the Tea Party if they didn't have the healthy brains and sharp intellect that Hillary has. Those Baggers can't handle the truth and they're really hilarious as they tear their hair out over how brilliant she was

Hear Hear! Socrates nailed it all those years ago.
DeleteUnfortunately neither the conservative nor liberal partisan gives a hoot about the Wisdom of Socrates.
FT, you keep repeating that quote, yet you seem utterly clueless about it's context here...

Could it be fighting the "good" fight for the "right" partisan side is just fine and dandy?
DeleteJust sayin...
FT,
DeleteLove that quote from Socrates!
As for me, I've always been registered as an Independent. I have a lot of friends who are registered the same way.
Partisan politics is a plague upon the land.
LOL! Have you ever voted for a Democrat, AoW?
DeleteJMJ
JMJ,
DeleteI have indeed voted for a Democrat -- and on more than one occasion.
Let's see. I voted for Jimmy Carter in 1976. I twice voted for Chuck Robb as governor of Virginia and once for him as U.S. senator.
I voted for at least one Democrat in this 2015 local election; I voted absentee ballot because of caregiving issues here in this household. I voted for the Democratic candidate for my local member of the county board; she's been very responsive to constituents' concerns although she certainly doesn't qualify as a fiscal conservative.
So what changed?
DeleteJMJ
JMJ,
DeleteThe Democratic Party moved too far to the Left -- and quit giving a damn about "the common man."
I have regretted voting for Carter. But for the others I mentioned? No.
I do have my disagreements with my local rep on the county board. But she's not a shut-up-you-conservative-idiot person. We get along fine -- and, yes, we've sat down face to face.
BTW, I'm more of a centrist than you think I am. I am not "hard right."
JMJ,
DeleteAddendum: I DESPISE those who vote for the Party label. Always have despised those robots, always will.
the Rethuglicans know how good Hillary was last week because they're amped up their hatred of her, calling her a liar and stuff like "hag," "bitch," "witch," and worse because that's gonna really make her cry. Like she reads the crap they write about her? ROFLMAO!
ReplyDeleteThe Rethugs are facing the fact that Hillary was not defeated by the Benghazi hearings and it kills them.

Ditto here.
DeleteWho if any really believes that our economy has been revived? Most of the people I hear from have more than one job to make up for the one job they lost in the recent ongoing recession. When is less than 4.0 % growth considered recovery? And 2.0 % is definitely recession figures. Show me the money and the growth, please.
ReplyDeleteI Guess that the teabaggers don't mind spending millions on a lost cause and send the bill to the American people.
ReplyDeleteDamn the neo cons and baggers are dumb.
Have you ever counted the cost of LBJ's "Great Society" and faced the statistically verifiable data that proves that the many TRILLIONS spent since the early SiCK-sties have produced entirely negative, degenerative results? The "Back Community" is MUCH worse off today than it was before the Democratic Party decided to dump LARGESSE in the Inner Cities ALL of which are a DISGRACE. The Democrats "helpful" initiatives have completely DESTROYED the Black Family.
DeleteUnless you change your tone and speak more respectfully and more TRUTHFULLY, your comments will not be be welcome here again.
On behalf of long-time followers of Obama, also known as Obamamaniacs, and to Mr. Jersey McJones, let me say to them welcome to the world. As a longtime and loyal Conservative please let me help your insanity. let me count down the ways that President Obama has failed to live up to his promises and to the responsibilities of his office. And that his foreign policy is really “foreign” to him, or nonexistent.. The list is pretty long comprehensive, and easily to follow. All that is needed is a brain, a 5th grade education and a bit of an opened mind.
ReplyDeleteLets start way back on Inauguration day 2009. I think that we can all agree that the people expected Obama to put the ugly history of racial diversity behind us. After all, wasn’t that one of the reasons, if not the real reason why America elected our First Black President in the first place? Because voters thought that the First Black President would help America, heal our racial wounds.
But that was not to be, anyone remember the “Beer Summit“? And the nutty professor Henry Gates from Harvard controversy, and the arrest controversy! When Obama called the Boston Police “Stupid”.
Followed closely with the rush to judgement in pre-judging several of the racially charged cases, like the shooting of Trayvon Martin or the questionable police shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, before the defendants even got to have their day in court. When you pre-judge someone on the basis of race, isn’t there a term for that? RACIALLY BIAS!
America’s expectations of Barack Hussain Obama were overinflated from the beginning, certainly not what the voters expected of him, they were hoping for the opposite of his unscrupulous friends and “advisers” like that race-hustler Al Sharpton. There was even a joke about Obama sending Sharpton and Jesse Jackson on missions to non-existent countries just to get them as far away from his campaign as possible. Now, Sharpton is being described as Obama’s “go-to man ” at the White House. Obama was even know to go to New York’s Harlem to meet with the “race baiter” who never seem to calm racial tensions, but rather to inflame them.
And then there was the disastrous launch of ObamaCare was a reminder of everything that’s wrong with big government. It turns out that when we warned health insurance would be run as well as the Department of Motor Vehicles, we were too optimistic, we weren’t allowed to “keep our Health plan is we like it, nor were we allowed to “keep our Doctor” if we like him, as promised.
*Continued*
DeleteAnd Obama failed to reform immigration, as he spent all of his political clout, and then some, on the failed stimulus and the ObamaCare carboggle, leaving a fail immigration reform plan instead. . Having failed to get anything through Congress, he then came up with a dubious plan to enact amnesty through a unilateral executive authority that he doesn’t have. Instead, he has simply failed to enforce the immigration laws, contributing to a crisis on our boarder that still exist.
He withdrew prematurely from Iraq.
Obama was so intend not be a George W. Bush that he pulled all of our troops out of Iraq as soon as possible which turned out to be way to pre-maturely, then totally ignored the country even while we still had thousands of our Troops still there, even as a terrorist threat re-established itself there. For most of this year, he foolishly downplayed the rise of the Islamic State. Even as Kurds and the Iraqi government issued increasingly panicked warnings, and the Islamic State took over more and more territory, he let the problem get worse for months without bothering to interrupt his golf schedule.
And our dear leader gave us the unthinkable... barbarians, also known as ISIS.
No Mr. Obama, Global Warming is not the greatest threat our world, the greatest threat our world is the barbarians, also known as ISIS. Who would have guessed? Even Bernie Sanders didn’t know the answer to that one.
A few weeks ago, he admitted to having no strategy for dealing with the Islamic State.
The Department of Justice failed to pursue voter intimidation against members of the New Black Panthers because they Were Black and Liberal, thanks to our bias Attorney General. His bowing down to other world leaders aka dictators was not only embarrassing but un-American?
He didn’t shut down Guantanamo!
The stimulus didn’t stimulate anything!
The IRS targeted Obama’s political enemies including Christian groups, Pro-israel Groups, and Tea Party Groups.
And the deal of all deals his so call “Deal with Iran”
Only an idiot cares about the stupid nonsense you're fussing about. You cons are going to get your electoral buttocks handed to you in 2016 as new, far advanced, generation begins to dismantle the conservative scourge on this country. The country has turned left. get ready for it, you silly, petty little person.

Go easy on Anita Mr. McJones. She could very well be an aging and frail Lady.
DeleteVery well said Anita, and still these Obamamaniac worshipers, these imbeciles who think that Barack Obama the Messiah, don't understand that being betrayed by those they voted for and should be able to trust is worse than being betrayed by those you expect to betray you? Well, I’m not sure what to tell you. You are still dancing in the streets over the Benghazi hearings. So if you believed Hillary Clinton, I don’t think that you will ever see the light. Keep Worshiping the Beast, keep saying those anti trump and anti Republican slogans with a loud voice, and if that makes you feel better then God Bless You.
ReplyDeleteYou feel free to continue voting for these lying and corrupt politicians who are betraying you and I and all the rest of the American people by those you should be able to trust. The issues must have been made clear to you by now, but if they haven’t, then I guess there is not any hope for any of us.
But if you are still looking for a Savior or a Messiah, believe me, Hillary Clinton is not the one.
This may not be exactly kosher, but the Senate hearings on Benghazi are not likely designed to shed light on some deeply nefarious acts but rather to obfuscate behind phony smoke and mirrors. And this becomes apparent when this devolves into "partisan politics", or "business as usual".
ReplyDeleteI'd venture to assert that both parties along the political divide are fully aware of what this whole phony episode is all about ... and both parties are involved in the bigger deception.
Sometimes it requires listening attentively when something strange, such as the truth, inadvertently comes from the horse's mouth.
One such instance may be this insight General Wesley Clark.
In an interview apparently taken shortly after September 11, 2001, General Clark states that he has been privy to a plan to spread havoc across the Middle East by "taking out seven countries in five years". Now this plan as it was unwrapped for General Clark would have come from the Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, at that time. Of course this is the supposed plan prepared by the cabal of neo-cons of that time such as Wolfowitz and Perle, etc.
The seven countries in five years include the likes of Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Syria and "finishing" with Iran. Apparently the timetable may be slightly askew and to make up for lost time the "boys" may be getting a bit antsy to ram it home, so to speak.
So fast forward to more current events such as Benghazi, Libya can well be just another stop on the road of this agenda. It may have gone a bit off the rails with different Presidents and different parties involved but the over-all end would seem to remain in the cross hairs of this Satanic Cult from the Synagogue of Satan in its quest to being forth complete submission to their communistic domination.
Remember the famous words from Bill Clinton after he was caught having an affair with Monica Lewinsky..
ReplyDeleteAnd from Anthony Weiner when he was found with his “Pants Down”
And Now From Hillary Clinton!
