Hillary Clinton Praises a Guy With Lots of Blood on His Hands

Should Hillary Clinton Be Basking in Henry Kissinger’s Praise?
https://newrepublic.com/article/129325/hillary-clinton-basking-henry-kissingers-praise

Thanks for asking.

The other one's George W. Bush, I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on their "practically family" relationship as it's been covered enough here.

Endorsements?
Well, only you were the one talking endorsements. I just wondered if you were as proud to stand with Hillary's war criminal friends, as with people who've endorsed her current campaign..... and you still haven't answered that question. I suppose there's no good answer, so you are wise to deflect.

Sir or madame, the fact you believe you have a monopoly on the truth is not remotely surprising. Actually, it's less surprising than you using an anonymous medium to attack folks who have not harmed you, ergo:

He was a boxer like his brother, albeit not a professional one, but good enough to make the Golden Gloves. He taught me not to verbally or physically attack anybody, lest I could not calibrate their reaction. The few times I didn't take his counsel to heed it ended up badly.

3) When I pointed it out to you, you heaped more abuse on me, on an anonymous medium, which further betrays an abundance of pusillanimity and a paucity of chivalry.

4) By refusing to confront bullying one is actually encouraging it. I can not in good conscience do that.

5) This exercise is becoming boring.

Dancing with myself makes me

Why don't you want to dance with me? The prospect of dancing alone makes me sad, even sadder than the prospect of kicking a man when he's down, and that makes me very sad.

Surely you don't want me to be sad. Don't you want to turn my into a ?

Let's be friends. Let's lift up ourselves and other when they fall, and may we never kick them when they are down.

Since we are we can compromise. Let's dance together so we can get comfortable with one another and then we can take turns dancing for each other.




Dancing together is better than arguing and kicking others when they are down.



Do you want to ... dance with me, baby.

Dancing is better than fighting and kicking others when they are down, much better.

We can do the Macarena to get acquainted:



Two or more friends doing the Macarena is nice. I like doing nice things, kicking folks when they are down is not nice, just sayin. I am sure we are of accord on that.




Up with friendship.

Down with violence.

Only love is the answer.

I am so amped I can dance with you all night:






We can dance to our hearts take flight...

We are friends and we must never kick others when they are down, no matter what we were told.

We shall lift ourselves and others up and be a good example to those who want to bring others down and kick them. May we be exemplars to the world.

Maybe he thinks I'm a good dancer or something. I would hate to disappoint him. I'm not a good dancer. I am stuck in the 80s and 90s. My girlfriend is a great dancer but I don't think she would dance for him.

Phone banging. That thing where we used to call these chatlines in LA and talk to whoever was on, they had different rooms you could cycle through. Anyways, there was always somebody posted in some of the rooms who DEDICATED THEIR LIVES to holding that particular room down for rolling 40s crip ( my dumb ass cousins),cause you know how it is? Gotta keep that space 20, 90, six o, schoolyard and marvin gangster crip free. It was of the utmost importance to not let anyone who did NOT TRULY LOVE 40s crip TO DEATH, say a mf thing in that damn room.
My stupid other cousin had his own room too and he also held the phone to his mouth and away from his ear so that NOBODY ELSE CAN TALK. Except girls. Girls can talk and say what ever they want and also get a food/movie partner cause he loved gurls. Not boys.

It's similar, right?
