She would sink faster than the Hindenburg, if only...

1. or only if WaPo had released its interview with Guccifer prior to NY.

They sat on it for a month.

We can only assume that was to influence the election.

[silvershadow]

2. Yeah, or if only a partisan clerk hadn't monkeyed with the voter rolls, disenfranchising

thousands....

3. You can't get a job as a retail clerk if you

Have too many parking tickets, but this woman is aiming for the highest office in the land with investigations galore going on.

6. Speaking of parking tickets

Did you see about the suspended Democratic Brooklyn elections official's fake parking placard incident? Lovely people we trust with our voting. It's not earth-shaking news, but why is it so hard for them to do the right thing?

4. The Hindenburg didn't sink; it blew up.

Which metaphor do you prefer, sinking or blowing up? You might say she would sink faster than the Andrea Doria, or blow up faster than the Hindenburg, but you can't have it both ways.

5. It sank, after it blew up...which, I think, fits. :D nt

7. Well, technically it burned up, right?

Not an explosion, just an extremely efficient fire.

And it did sink to the ground (and most on board escaped) before fully burning up.

10. Like those transcripts that likely burned up in The Great Chappaqua Fire of 2016.

(In the Clinton compound's fire pit).

11. Sounds like we have a "mierenneuker" here.

It's Dutch and doesn't translate well into English. At least not the meaning.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. I did find a translation:

"Pejorative coarse - a petty person who makes a pointless fuss about insignificant details or issues, a nitpicker."

Do the Dutch have a word for someone with no sense of humor?

[RoccoR5955]

13. Yes they do

Zure pruim or droogkloot are Dutch words for a sour puss, or a dullard.

I am trying to learn a new language. Moving there in a year or so, so I have to learn all of the pejoratives and idioms as well.
They have some good ones.

They also have stroopwafels.

8. Really? Anything of substance actually matters?

Based on what evidence? I'm sure not seeing it.

Camp Hubris has been sold her for decades, inconvenient truths be damned. They're terrified of Trump, and convinced she's our only hope.

9. The transcripts are not gonna go away, she better release them.
