The only woman she cares about is herself. So wonderful a Saudi shill vs a Russian shill. Neither who actually gives a suit about America or the American people.

Hillary is too Liberal and pretty corrupt as well as really corporate. I still find her personality more likable than Trump however.

If you are a straight ticket voter, and do decide on the Republicans, please bear in mind that there are people down the list who can and will mitigate any damage a President Trump may do.
His presidency will probably face more opposition and obstructionism than any before him, from both parties simultaneously. Three if you count Libertarians.
The Anti-Trump fearmongers do not realize that there is a vast chasm of distintion between accepting a nomination, and actually backing them in office.

Nothing quite as damaging as the emails but if they are getting email and voice mail this is a highly organized team of hackers.

If the number of female presidents of the US was closer to the number of males ones, you might actually have a point. Otherwise it is a false equivalence.

Tooting her horn about it is really undignified. Imagine if Obama, when he was nominated, were saying, "You're making history, I'm going to be the first black President!"
He whose will and desire in conversation is to establish his own opinion, even though what he says is true, should recognize that he is sick with the devil’s disease. And if he behaves like this only in conversation with his equals, then perhaps the rebuke of his superiors may heal him. But if he acts in this way even with those who are greater and wiser than he, then his malady is humanly incurable.

Actually, Hillary has been a Russian shill too, if you count selling them uranium.
As a more dedicated globalist, her contributors are more vastly international than what DT could hope for.
The Clinton Foundation is probably the closest thing to Spectre to exist in the real world.

But yeah, Trumps involvement with Gazprom is just one of many actual illustrations of his unfitness beyond buying too much into his rhetoric.

While methodically different, this is in its simplest form a contest between two self-absorbed powermongers who have almost no significant ideological motivation or inspiration, beyond being the boss.

Hillary is Blofeld of course. Bill gets to shave Socks for her.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

As a conservative I wish she was a Saudi shill. Just getting donations doesn't mean she's a shill, just that someone with a lot of cash wanted to gain a bit of favor with her.

These people are basically saying that whenever the west tried to let Russians know how shit the USSR government was, we were being assholes.

Russia just exposed massive levels of collusion and corruption. This is our glasnost. But we're supposed to be mad at them?
These people are so fucking detached from the public.
The "But Russia!" argument is entirely reliant on xenophobia, and on hoping that merely because they're opposing our government, we should get mad at them.
No, they did the US a favor.

Our MEDIA wasn't going to report this shit, so why shouldn't russia? What's the functional difference between us trying to let Russians know their standards of living were shit in the USSR because their media wouldnt tell them, and Russia doing this for us?

"DEM EVIL RUSKIES! THEY OPPOSE THIS SYSTEM! YOU SHOULD BE MAD!"
Why? It's clearly a shit system.

I see no coherent reasoning behind this, and only two possible explanations.

The establishment figures are so far up their own ass and delusional they genuinely believe this is a good system worth defending.

Or

The establishment figures are just responding to this by trying to whip up xenophobia to distract from their own failings, in a year they were *fucking constantly* whining about how Trump was doing this. But I guess since it's Russians, it's okay.



Opposing Russia's government is not opposing Russians. Take that strawman somewhere else.

Well to be fair isn't Russia a democracy? So presumably if you oppose the govt you at least I. Theory are opposing a significant plurality or majority of Russian voters. Of course how legit Russian democracy actually is, is a bit questionable.

Well the Saudis are much worse than Russia after all the 9/11 hijackers weren't from mother Russia were they?

At least Russia adopted universal sufferage.
I was always tickled about the old USSR, at its best, having just under 20% of its adult population ever earn the party membership required to have the priviledge of voting for the one party.

Talking about democracy in the sense of letting people vote, not other aspects of classical liberalism. But yeah, Im not so sure those Russian elections are entirely fair.

Pretty much the same Saudi royal family now as then. They've still not done enough to actually fight terrorism. Russia on the other hand has never really attacked America as far as I can remember. Not saying they are good guys, but there are still plenty more Middle East bad guys that are for worse from the whom the club tons have taken money for their foundation from.

Also, the hijackers were directed and funded by the House of Said.
