Nevermind MineralMan's bogus Bernie pic with Anne V... THIS is what creepy looks like:

[ChisolmTrailDem]

Shout out to DUer imagine2015!

[elleng]

1. DAMN RIGHT!

Surprised that MineralMan doesn't know where an ASS is!

[jillan]

30. Zing!

[elleng]

37. Hi, jillan.

Miss you!

[sheshe2]

39. Care to post a link ellen?

TIA

[elleng]

41. Here, she2.

HI!

[sheshe2]

52. Hi ellen

Thanks.

Never saw MM trash anyone. Not ever. Always the voice of reason. That image is inappropriate.

Will go on to say BSers make hay trashing Hill for associations in her job as SOS. Kissinger, what was she suppose to do? Punch him in the face? Their is a thing called diplomacy, most world leaders abide by that. Obama did, even the most hated, he tried.

[elleng]

54. Neither have I.

Was very surprised to see it.

[Scuba]

60. Are the Clintons just being diplomatic when they vacation with Kissinger?

Was Hillary just being diplomatic when she praised Kissinger as a trusted advisor in her book?


http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511229967

[madokie]

98. Of course they are Scuba

we both know better though don't we

[Hortensis]

101. Yes. MM's showing some impatience as this drags out,

but he is always a gentleman and his political experience a great asset to this forum.

As for this silly OP, just filling time waiting for the bell.

[elleng]

105. Guess so.

[Hortensis]

108. This pic reminds me that W was chosen the person

voters most would like to have a beer with. I always thought he'd be perfectly fine as a neighbor, an insurance salesman, perhaps, whose employer keeps his paperwork properly reviewed.

[cui bono]

110. Not Good Enough sheshe2.

Just love you trying to take the moral high ground after your epic vile OP.

.

[opiate69]

69. Surely, he's got a mirror somewhere at his house?

[Lizzie Poppet]

71. He need only look at the (likely) top of the ticket...

[JudyM]

92. LOL! I was thinking the same....

[dinkytron]

2. Time for this site to drop the word "Underground" from their moniker.

[dchill]

3. Or the "Democratic."

[dinkytron]

4. ...

Ah feel ya.

[villager]

6. Been time for this center/right "discussion" site to do that for years...

The "Underground" is increasingly... laughable.

[dreamnightwind]

9. Replace Underground with Overlords

[VulgarPoet]

70. CorporateOverlords.com?

[dinkytron]

10. So many folks have left. Its so unfamiliar around here. I saw a post i GD

about old DUers who have moved on or faded away. I am happy I have shared so many moments with so many. I just regret that so many have been so anonymous.

[pinebox]

5. Whoops!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

8. It's a club. ETA: Milania sure has a death grip on Bill's hand! nt

[TM99]

17. She heard about Bill's roving

hands!

[sheshe2]

33. Your comment.

juvenile

[pinebox]

59. Here

[frylock]

88. That comment was truth.

[BreakfastClub]

16. Trump knows a lot of people...

These pictures are meaningless.

[merrily]

55. No difference between (1) attending Trump's wedding and gazing up at him fondly and (2) being

seated at a nearby table at some event and smiling for the camera?

Trump also said he donated to Hillary, which got him the results he wanted when he picked up the phone and called her.

We've seen photos of Hillary gazing fondly at Kissinger, too, even leaning in to kiss him. Wen questioned, she said admiring things about that criminal. And it turned out they vacation together. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/02/hillary-clinton-kissinger-vacation-dominican-republic-de-la-renta

So, maybe certain photos are not as meaningless as you think. Maybe you're just failing to see the difference between the kind of photo you posted and other photos.

[radical noodle]

80. She was receiving an award in that one ^^^^ n/t

[bahrbearian]

84. Award or Bonus Check

[radical noodle]

106. Why in hell would Kissinger give out checks

bonus or otherwise?

[merrily]

120. Irrelevant deflection attempt.

First, I don't kiss everyone who gives me an award. Hell, I don't even kiss people who pay me a bonus.

Second, google images has many pics of Hillary looking adoringly at Kissinger. Choose whichever one you prefer.

Third, she's called the criminal a mentor.

Fourth, the article I linked speaks of how close a personal relationship the Clintons have with a criminal.

So, your nitpicking deflection attempt is totally beside the point.

[virtualobserver]

7. Man, that is one affectionate hug.

[BreakfastClub]

11. Don't forget these!!!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

13. Apples and oranges. nt

[BreakfastClub]

14. It's the same exact thing and for the same reasons. nt

[Ned_Devine]

19. Not really. Barack is the President...and he's cool, so people like to be seen with him

[ChisolmTrailDem]

21. No it isn't. In the first pick, there is a changing of the presidency. In the second the President

is shaking hands of the governor of a disaster-stricken state who is greeting him as he comes to see the damage done by Hurricane Sandy. Those are protocol exchanges.

The one in my OP is not protocol. It's two friends having a hug and a laugh while drinking from dainty tea cups. It's two oligarchs rolling together through their rich, privileged world. Her nose is practically buried in his neck, for gawd sake.

[BuelahWitch]

100. And to me the first pic with Bush and Obama looks rather strained

They aren't really hugging, more like clutching arms.

[grossproffit]

24. Right. Hillary's a woman. How dare she!

[ChisolmTrailDem]

26. Why are you making it about her being a woman? What the fuck? How dare YOU! nt

[merrily]

56. As if no one has said similar things about photos of her husband! These faux claims of sexism hurt

women. If you really give a crap about women, please stop claiming every post about Hillary that you don't like is sexist.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1617001

[NWCorona]

72. There's no love in the picture between Obama and bush

In fact it looks awkward. The picture of Obama with Chris is priceless. Obama came up by just doing his job and sunk Romneys chances lol!

[Trust Buster]

12. What a waste of bandwidth on senseless nonsense. Even funerals are fair game to these people.

[grossproffit]

25. Many seem to lack both real world experience and reality.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

31. *rrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiP! snnnnnniiiiifffffffffff!*

Because you think that you're better than others...

[yawnmaster]

15. Hate doesn't work well when one needs to work with others. eom

[akbacchus_BC]

18. That is how they roll. Trying to make ordinary people feel

they are different, but it is the same old BS. They hobnob with each other and the electorates are the fall people. Which politician in the world is ever honest and accountable to the people of their country who elects them? None, once they get elected, that is the end. We the voters do not count anymore.

[bettyellen]

20. how about smearing RB Ginsburg with pics of her and her good friend Scalia?

these pics are from a funeral, isn't that right? That is how people act at funerals, and making hay of it is pretty slimey.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

22. It's still creepy, considering who they are and how their type rolls.

[bettyellen]

23. Creepy reading affection into a hug at a funeral. But professionals have to work together without

hostility, people work with horrible people all the time in the real world and we aren;t allowed to sneer at them. It seems like that is what is expected- for Hillary to be hostile all over the place, and that idea is fucking stupid.

[grossproffit]

28. Yep. It's obvious that some here have never been in a professional atmosphere.

Kicking people in the nuts/ovaries isn't what adults do in the real world.

[synergie]

32. It's how extreme partisans like Ted Cruz and Bernie work, purity at all costs

and screw anyone and anything that gets in the way of that purity, no matter what. It's how Ted was able to shut the government down and it's why Bernie has literally no credibility or power in the Senate, they simply have no ability to work with anyone to get anything done.

Bernie is even more partisan than Cruz, and that's saying something.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/03/who-are-the-most-partisan-senators-220365

[Warren DeMontague]

58. sort of like how FDR and Hitler were the "extremes" in WWII, and thus somehow equivalent?

We should all strive to be like Switzerland, I guess.

[Go Vols]

109. lol

[ChisolmTrailDem]

29. Hey, wait a minute! Are you saying you don't think those two are running in the same crowd and...

...members of the same club?

Really?

[bettyellen]

57. No I did not, perhaps you are hallucinating about this "club"?

[azurnoir]

89. G-dub and Jeb call Bill "their brother by another mother"

The former First Lady lavished praise on the man who defeated George H.W. Bush in 1992, lovingly saying that Clinton is “a good fellow” who is “very thoughtful about calling.”

“He never said a mean word about anyone,” she said in an interview with Parade Magazine set to appear this weekend.

She even revealed that her sons - including, of course, George W. Bush, who followed Clinton into the Oval Office - call him “My brother by another mother.”

“He’s very nice,” Barbara Bush continued. “I think she thinks of George [Sr.] as the father he never had

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/barbara-bush-gushes-bill-clinton-treats-george-h-w-bush-father-article-1.1113917

[bettyellen]

93. you're hanging on every word rabid RWers spew, instead of spitting them in the eye?

The Clintons should shun them while you are pulling their quotes? Truly bizarre.
Wow, they are friendly people- burn them at the stake, LOL.

[azurnoir]

95. It's from the New York Daily News a source we're told is beloved by Hillary's team

[bettyellen]

96. quotes by RWers are quotes by RWers... and they are the bible here lately.

but this too will pass.

[azurnoir]

97. so now the New York Daily News is rightwing?

[Beacool]

114. Isn't this pic from Nelson mandela's funeral?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

116. I know, right? So creepy how they're smooching it up at a funeral like that. nt

[rpannier]

121. Should have kicked him down the stairs

or something like that
Because nothing highlights a funeral like brutally assaulting someone

It's (or should be) a nothing event.
They were at a funeral. They were pleasant and cordial to each other as most people try to be, especially at a funeral of someone with the prestige of Nelson Mandela

But, oh well, I can hope that the person who put up the pic didn't know it was from a funeral (anyone's funeral)

[R B Garr]

85. Thank you again for your voice of reason, bettyellen. I bet most of the military

can't stand the people they have to salute, but they do it anyway. How many people can't stand other people at work or in their neighborhood, but they act sensible towards them anyway. Only in fantasy land can we go around kicking people and spitting on them or cursing them out if we can't stand them. How utterly fantastical to think that people don't act with decorum. Disturbing the peace with silly emotional outbursts towards others is just fantasy for the internet.

[bettyellen]

86. it ties in with not wanting to do the work of fixing party issues, and expecting them to be run

as per their newbie expectations. it;s like they think they can wish themselves into a perfect system. bizarre stuff.

[R B Garr]

104. Very bizarre and very unrealistic. There seems

to be no bottom to their anti-everything mindset as if that is the actual goal and not the "issues". That doesn't seem to be winning people anymore -- the opposite.

[bettyellen]

107. The petulance and myopia remind me of sexist twits I know. the misplaced priority that their toys-

and crap like Twitter memes and FBing is more important than honest conversation. Not lectures- conversation.
They don't get it.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

90. Those people go beyond horrible. One is certainly a criminal and the other is at least an enabler.

[Beacool]

113. Isn't that photo from Obama's inauguration????

[ChisolmTrailDem]

115. Do have a surplus of question marks? Where do you buy extras from? nt

[Beacool]

117. Yawn........

[ChisolmTrailDem]

118. Here, let me tuck you in, dear...

[nilram]

27. ugggggggh

[uponit7771]

35. Bush doesn't have his hand on her ass or vice versa, this was a funderal and Sanders camp can't

... keep it classy

[ChisolmTrailDem]

38. I don't care that they're at a funeral. They are still buddies and they're part of the same club.

[uponit7771]

42. cause "give me 27 more dollars so we can lose better" is a waaaaay more moral :rolleyes:

[ChisolmTrailDem]

44. You might consider getting some rest, you're wandering off in the wrong direction. nt

[uponit7771]

46. Yeah, not being sold the used car Sanders is pedalling is the wrong direction to some

[ChisolmTrailDem]

48. Oooooo...OUCH! That really hurt!!1! Series!1!!eleven.

[uponit7771]

49. Truth does that to some people, others just think podium birds mean something

[ChisolmTrailDem]

50. HahahahHahAaa!!! So jealous the little birdie didn't land on Hillary's podium! You're so funny!

[IdaBriggs]

61. Bill and Junior raised $54M for Haiti - it's a paradise now!

They really are friends.

[pacalo]

40. Like peas & carrots.

[nolawarlock]

43. This is sad.

What do you expect them to do, beat each other up? There is a camaraderie to the office of the presidency and the residency of the White House. I respect those who can put politics aside and just share life with one another.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

45. Defend the Oligarchy! nt

[nolawarlock]

47. Oliwhatsawhoisits? nt

[Betty Karlson]

51. Was that before or after she voted to let him rush into Iraq?

Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. How to call one who encourages the fools?

[NWCorona]

73. Nancy’s funeral I think nt

[Betty Karlson]

119. So just after praising Nancy's deadpanning of the conversation on AIDS as "silent activism", then?

Well, she sure seems remorseful for her years of support for Bush's neo-conservative colonialism.

[NewImproved Deal]

53. Our Oligarchy is as mediocre as it is sinister...

[link:|

[felix_numinous]

67. +100000

Just keep partying on while climate change is upon us, keep insulting and robbing the people and see what happens. Keep it up.

[Dem2]

62. 12 year olds appear to have taken over DU

alas.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

63. Hahahaaa! Is that all you got? nt

[Dem2]

64. Fitting response

~q75,dx720y432u1r1gg,c--.jpg

[ChisolmTrailDem]

66. So, taking your bullying pic as being representative of this situation, which you initiated btw...

...it would seem that you must also be a 12 year old.

Fitting response from you as well, kid.

[Dem2]

68. O/P is bailing out of own thread

[Beacool]

75. Yeah, they keep posting these nonsensical photos of Hillary with world leaders.

Then they try to bash her by association. Either they are clueless or disingenuous.

[Dem2]

77. One must urinate and defecate on ones opponents caskets when they DIE

is the implication here.

This is a vile a despicable post - the O/P has no shame.

[Beacool]

82. A host of them don't.

[Skittles]

111. lack of critical thinking skills

[Ferd Berfel]

65. Yep - THat's Creepy

[Dem2]

79. I normally spit on people at funerals

amiright?

[Ferd Berfel]

81. I"m not surprised

[Skittles]

112. SO far over your head

[Beacool]

74. Taken at Nancy Reagan's funeral.

I guess some of you live in a state of constant outrage. The rest of us have to deal with people at work and in life who we may not particularly agree with or even like. Bush's dad and Bill are close, not so much Hillary (although she and Laura have become friends).

There are only a handful of men who have served as president. Once they are out of office, they form part of a very exclusive club. Expect to see similar photos of Obama in the future.

[Ferd Berfel]

94. Bush has the blood of 4000+ Americans and

hundreds of thousands on his hands based on lies for power and profit. How the hell do you ignore that. He was Preisdent so we'll just ignore that

so does this guy the one she calls a mentor



She seems to have an affinity for War Criminals.

Both of these people should be on trial in the Hague. What's the message here. It's OK, ya got away with it?

[bkkyosemite]

76. I think they all party together and vacation together with Kissenger.

[Uncle Joe]

78. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, ChisolmTrailDem.

[SixString]

83. Kick and rec.

[bvar22]

87. Even Creepier!

[leeroysphitz]

91. Aww... Soulmates. n/t

[pdsimdars]

99. Never saw the picture he posted, he got ignored a LONG time ago.

Didn't take me long to figure out he wasn't interested in an honest discussion.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

102. MM's photo and attempt to discredit Bernie was sick, but in this photo, as disgusting

as one of the people in that photo is, at least there arent any women dying in the alley behind the building.

Which if the Democrat isnt elected in Nov, there will be.

[Ohioblue22]

103. Well at least awol isn't playing grab ass with her. Seems he knows of boundries
