The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

[BlueK]

I am getting conflicting images of this Bannon guy. Reince, Kellyanne, Laura and several others who know him well speak very highly of him.

Van and others being brought on CNN call him a White Supremacist. That is far worse than your run of the mill racist like those who oppose President Obama policies. I pretty much dismiss most of what Van says after his praising of young people after anytime they protest and while condemning violence goes on to explain the justification for their doing it.

So I have not made up my mind yet on him.

Have you ever read Breitbart?

Have you ever read Breitbart?

Here's a headline that would totally fit in @ Breitbart that I just made up:

JEW LAWYER UNDER DOJ INVESTIGATION

So it's not really Breitbart? Can't you just find a real example?

John Podesta was the primary reason Wikileaks had anything on Hillary Clinton. All you had to do was figure out his username because his password was about the second or third guess you'd throw out if you were trying to log into someone's email account.

One the emails wikileaks posted shows that he most likely had his password phished. John Podesta has about 98% bone in his head.

Losing it on a losing night.

Sources have told The American Spectator that on Tuesday night, after Hillary realized she had lost, she went into a rage. Secret Service officers told at least one source that she began yelling, screaming obscenities, and pounding furniture. She picked up objects and threw them at attendants and staff. She was in an uncontrollable rage. Her aides could not allow her to come out in public. It would take her hours to calm down. As has been reported for years, her violent temper got the best of her. Talk about having a temperament ill-suited for having access to the atomic bomb. So Podesta went out and gave his aimless speech. I wish we could report on Bill’s whereabouts but we cannot. We shall work on that.

Even if this isn't true it is going to make a great movie someday.

I enjoyed these.

The president-elect's chief strategy advisor is CEO of an alt-right website, and at worst(best?) basically a fake news site. That is pretty depressing.

Would you rather your child had feminism or cancer?

When my initial reading of this headline seemed to be asking if I would rather my child have cancer or be a feminist, I kind of chuckled.

Once I figured out what it was really asking, it was easier to understand why it is so off-putting.

I found it interesting that most (all?) of the controversial headlines dealing with gay/lesbian issues were for articles written by a gay person. Like, does that make it OK for some reason in their minds? Kind of like Black people being allowed to use the "N" word?

"Hitler in the bunker"-- so she was disappointed about BYU losing to Utah, huh?

They wrote about Bill Kristol, calling him a "renegade Jews," for not going with Trump.

Here is something that explains the alt right in their own words. Be warned it's from their favorite white supremacist website. in mind according to Bannon, he views breitbart as being "a platform for the alt right."

That site has welcomed Bannon being picked and called him "our man in the White House."

PLEASE let there be leaked video of this.

I'm no neurosurgeon, but I can spot a sham presidential run when I see one:

Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson has told President-elect Donald Trump that he isn’t interested in serving as secretary of Health and Human Services, a Carson ally confirmed to The Hill on Tuesday…

“Dr. Carson was never offered a specific position, but everything was open to him,” Williams told The Hill in a phone call.

“Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience, he’s never run a federal agency. The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency.”…

Enjoy the returns on those book sales, Ben. They won't last long...

Ed Klein: Bill Clinton: It's Hillary's Fault, Not Comey's

In the waning days of the presidential campaign, Bill and Hillary Clinton had a knock-down, drag-out fight about her effort to blame FBI Director James Comey for her slump in the polls and looming danger of defeat.


"I was with Bill in Little Rock when he had this shouting match with Hillary on the phone and she accused Comey for reviving the investigation into her use of a private email server and reversing her campaign's momentum," said one of Bill Clinton's closest advisers.


"Bill didn't buy the excuse that Comey would cost Hillary the election," said the source. "As far as he was concerned, all the blame belonged to [campaign manager Robby] Mook, [campaign chairman John] Podesta and Hillary because they displayed a tone-deaf attitude about the feeble economy and its impact on millions and millions of working-class voters.

"Bill was so red in the face during his conversation with Hillary that I worried he was going to have a heart attack. He got so angry that he threw his phone off the roof of his penthouse apartment and toward the Arkansas River."


During the campaign, Bill Clinton felt that he was ignored by Hillary's top advisers when he urged them to make the economy the centerpiece of her campaign. He repeatedly urged them to connect with the people who had been left behind by the revolutions in technology and globalization.

"Bill said that constantly attacking Trump for his defects made Hillary's staff and the media happy, but that it wasn't a message that resonated with voters, especially in the rust belt," the source explained. "Bill always campaigned as a guy who felt your pain, but Hillary came across as someone who was pissed off at her enemy [Trump], not someone who was reaching out and trying to make life better for the white working class."
[...]
"A big part of Bill's anger toward Hillary was that he was sidelined during the entire campaign by her advisers," said the source. "He can't be effective if he sees himself as just another hired hand. He wasn't listened to and that infuriated him. After all, he knows something about campaigns, and he told me in early October that Hillary and her advisers were blowing it.


"Hillary wouldn't listen. She told Bill that his ideas were old and that he was out of touch. In the end, there was nothing he could do about it because Hillary and her people weren't listening to anything he said."

Yep, Colin Powell nailed when he said, "Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris." She should have listened to the old fart, Bill.

lol. More infosec issues for the Clintons. You don't just go chucking phones toward the Arkansas river with no thought of who may come upon it! That family has no cyber hygiene.
