Hillary FTW

[KS Toronado]

Bout time someone called him "temperamentally unfit"

[Lovie777]

1. K&R......

[TigressDem]

2. Once he has been convicted and sentenced for all his crimes, history should be revised.

For 2016 and Presidential Position 45 - it should be noted that AN IMPOSTER STOLE THE ELECTION
Under his picture should say, USURPER not elected BY THE PEOPLE
THEN Hilary's picture should be there as PEOPLE'S CHOICE - denied

JUST IMAGINE if he hadn't been able to rig the electors in 2016.

4-8 years of Clinton stability instead of the insanity of the tRUMP years with all the dirty diapers the toddler in chief has left and is still filling and lobbing at the White House.

[jaxexpat]

4. Oh, my long sunken heart. What if indeed.

[triron]

5. I will always lament this.

[StClone]

6. As does the World

Serious leaders versus deluded knife-throwing sideshow freaks.

[NullTuples]

20. Can we maybe not do that, please?

So called "sideshow freaks" were typically disabled people or simply people who appeared different enough from the local paying public. Dark skin, differently shaped eyes, women with excess facial or body hair, people whose limbs and bodies that didn't develop in the typical fashion in utero. Being mocked and ridiculed was often the only job they could get in a society that did not yet have social safety nets and viewed anyone sufficiently different as "touched by sin" merely by existing.

Unlike Republicans, sideshow performers committed no ethical or moral failings by being born into this world and attempting to survive. Republicans on the other hand choose to be who they are, every morning when they get up, and don't care who they harm with their greed.

10. in addition

we haven't even drawn the correct conclusions from this nightmarish experience. That is that some peoples' brains are different than others (see Canadian psychologist Robert D. Hare).

Their brains are different and not in a good way. They are not fit to govern, period.

And we have an entire political party of them now. The Criminal Party, formerly known as "republicans."

[CTyankee]

14. don't get me started!

[Hortensis]

8. Just imagine. Hillary's to-do list was huge.

America would be in a far better place now.

Horrifyingly, the federal minimum wage is still $7.25 instead of $15 seven years later. (Those workers might at least have been earning $12 for almost the last 2 years, since March 2021 when Manchin blocked $15, but Senator Sanders wouldn't go for it.)

Sigh.

[ShazzieB]

24. I'd forgotten about this.

(Those workers might at least have been earning $12 for almost the last 2 years, since March 2021 when Manchin blocked $15, but Senator Sanders wouldn't go for it.)

What's that expression about letting perfect be the enemy of good? Oh yeah, don't let that happen. *sigh*

[Hortensis]

29. At least the Biden admin was able to raise it to $15 for federal contractors

and then all federal employees in two different actions, the first nearly two years ago, the second a year ago.

Why Sanders didn't act when he could have a national increase...? I've often thought he seems to see issues in macro-ideological (socialist) and macro-economic terms, and suspect he believes real solutions will only be possible as part of macro-ideological change, all lesser actions as fails.

Liberal Democrats like Hillary and Joe of course seek solutions for people who need them now from within existing progressive government meant to serve them. "Of the people, by the people, and for the people" after all.

[betsuni]

35. There was something about the exact number $15.

Not 12.50, not 13.45, not 17.00 -- had to be fifteen or nothing. The magic number.

[Hortensis]

36. And perhaps something about who got credit for what.

Some seem to be more in competition to be the only real, true progressives than to achieve it.

Oh, well. I'm sure it's not been much harder to survive on $14,000 a year over the past two years than it would have been on $24,000.

[betsuni]

37. I think it's nice to give credit. The Fight for Fifteen began in 2012 with a strike and became

a national movement, Seattle was one of the first cities with a $15 minimum wage in 2014 and showed that all the restaurants didn't go bankrupt. To use $15 as a purity test as if it appeared out of the blue in 2016 ...

[Hortensis]

42. Seattle's been doing MW increases since also. Just looked,

2023's MW is now $18.69 after an increase of $1.42. Remember when it was supposed to ruin the economy? Again, Seattle Democrats and the various wonderful unions and organizations behind this, most members also Democratic or leaning, made it happen. Of course.

[betsuni]

46. "And many ideas that I brought forth, $15 an hour minimum wage, 'Hey, Bernie, you're crazy, that's

too extreme.'" 7/10/19 Rachel Maddow interview.

[Hortensis]

47. Oh, right. It wasn't extreme at all, but a socialist going around

"owning" it and claiming many thought it was certainly didn't do it any good.

The false equalization of Democrats and liberal progressivism with socialism is deployed at every turn to defeat what are actually widely approved goals, including a MW people can live on. It of course does our party great harm, dissuading many from voting for us for fear of socialism.

As you say.

[KS Toronado]

9. Him with Putin's help.

In 2024 maybe we could have a "Do you really want to elect who Putin's rooting for" campaign.
Or "Don't vote for another Putin puppet"

[TigressDem]

3. K&R

[StClone]

7. Where is Hillary's statement taken from?

[MrsCoffee]

15. Foreign policy speech, 2016.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/clinton-trump-is-dangerously-incoherent-temperamentally-unfit-to-be-president/2016/06/02/577e5174-28db-11e6-b989-4e5479715b54_story.html

[StClone]

16. Thanks MrsCoffee

You are the best!

[MrsCoffee]

19. My pleasure!

[patricia92243]

11. Temperamentally unfit is the polite way of saying he is as crazy as a bat.

[ShazzieB]

25. That.

Or to get really specific to Trump's case: psychopathic and malignantly narcissistic.

[Genki Hikari]

38. Nah, he's not crazy

Don't give him that out.

He knows what reality is. How he wants to ignore it or force it into a pattern more pleasing to him doesn't change that.

Temperamentally unfit covers how he's too angry, too whiny, too vindictive, too petty, too impatient, too selfish, too impulsive, too craven, too naive, and all of his other awful character traits.

None of that takes crazy, but it does indicate severe deficiencies in temperament.

And, btw, he is all of those things I listed that makes him temperamentally unfit.

Most irredeemable scumbag, ever.

[brer cat]

12. K&R

[dalton99a]

13. Trump is a dangerous career criminal.

[Blue Owl]

17. Temperamentally unfit and morbidly obese

[Raven123]

18. Brilliantly accurate, concise description of TFG

[housecat]

21. Hillary has been saying this since before 2015, but not many heard her

[Genki Hikari]

39. And too many actively ignored her or tried to silence her

You expect that of the garbage that is an r thug, but way too many on the left did it too, that's for sure.

[housecat]

40. damn media and propaganda

[republianmushroom]

22. like it

[Catherine Vincent]

23. Truth!

And it's one of the reasons Reps and Cons hate her.

[bluboid]

26. BRILLIANT SUMMARY!

[Martin68]

27. I see Hillary is sticking to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Good for her!

[KS Toronado]

28. Perfect ! 3 Blue Waves 4 U

[albacore]

30. trump "ideas" defined with fewer words. "Brainfarts" nt

[KS Toronado]

31. Good one, fit's in perfectly !

d...t...'s Brainfarts aren't just different, they are dangerously incoherent.

[inthewind21]

32. She did it in 2016

No one listened.

[DFW]

34. Three million more Americans listened to her than to Fox Noise and Putin's stooge

The questionable distribution of them is what brought the calamity upon us.

[BigmanPigman]

33. When was this posted/spoken? 2015?

I think it has been pretty obvious to anyone with an IQ over 25.

[calimary]

41. How many times do we have to say "she called it" before the knuckleheads

finally knuckle under?

I swear she’s got a track record better than any sports superstar, when it comes to analysis of the situation and how deviously to message it.

The longer I study this stuff, the more obsessed I become about strategic messaging.

[niyad]

43. HRC was correct then, and is still correct.

[dawn5651]

44. more like batshit crazy

[Aussie105]

45. A lack of self awareness

coupled with unbridled ambition and a penchant for rewriting both reality and history are always a dangerous collection in one person.

Why this combination attracted a political party and voters, is incomprehensible.

For that matter - why is he still given air time and why are some still listening to him?
