Hillary Clinton: another day, another lie (oops, another "mistake")

http://nypost.com/2016/03/16/hillary-to-coal-country-i-love-coal-i-swear/


"Hillary Clinton sent coal-country Sen. Joe Manchin a letter admitting she was wrong when she said, “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business” while campaigning in Ohio."
...

"In the letter sent on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton said she was “mistaken” in her remarks."

“I’m writing to clarify what I said recently regarding coal communities at a CNN town hall. Simply put, I was mistaken in my remarks,” she wrote. “Coal will be part of the energy mix for years to come.”

Paul Ryan

So about the rumors Paul Ryan may be the Hail Mary pass for the Republicans, I just thought of a slogan for him: Paul Ryan, he's not crazy.

pandas

http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/canada-fears-photo-of-prime-minister-with-pandas-could-worsen-american-refugee-crisis



"TORONTO (The Borowitz Report)—Canada, already bracing for the possible inflow of millions of American refugees in November, might have made matters worse by releasing an unacceptably adorable photo of its Prime Minister hugging two baby pandas, Canadians fear.

The photo, taken at the Toronto Zoo and showing Justin Trudeau cuddling with two panda cubs, was “the last thing this country needed,” Harland Dorrinson, the executive director of Canadians for Responsible Immigration, a prominent anti-immigration organization based in Ottawa, said.

...

The news photo, which Dorrinson called “an unmitigated disaster,” is expected to worsen the influx of illegal Americans because, he said, “in addition to pointing out that Canada has pandas, it is also reminding people that our Prime Minister is an unusually handsome man, especially for someone in government.”

In an open letter published online, the anti-immigration leader urged Trudeau “to put his country first” and cancel a visit scheduled for Friday at the Winnipeg Puppy and Kitten Shelter."

the Clinton Times leads its Best Comments of the week with a HIllbot propaganda comment

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/05/nytnow/no-grace-in-defeat-our-best-comments-of-the-week.html

"No Grace In Defeat" And the meme that Sanders' supporters are racist etc.

Really nauseous.

Every time I think the Times can't wreck more of its former reputation, it goes lower.

This, Bill getting away with blatant interfering with the vote at four Massachusetts polling places, etc. If Hillary does get the nomination, and I think that is by no means certain, let's see how they like losing the general.

Don't forget to vote progressive down ticket, people.

President Bernie's going to need all the help he can get for our agenda.

Is Bill Clinton losing it mentally?

Seeing the photos of Bill Clinton inside a polling place, violating the devil out of election laws, my first thought was Clinton crookedness.

But then I thought maybe Bill has developed Alzheimer's. Even the Clinton Times did an article about his erraticness a few months ago.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/29/us/politics/bill-clinton-campaign.html
"he occasionally meandered, leaving the audience, including some who had lined up for hours to see him, seeming more politely attentive than inspired...
“I have seen him speak many times, and he just didn’t seem to be the same guy. He could still summon stats and an anecdote or two, but not with the same verve.”


Nonetheless, charges should be brought.
