This time it's Bill Clinton's big mouth

BULLY BOY PRESS  CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

CRANKY CLINTON SHOULD HAVE A WIN TODAY WITH SOUTH CAROLINA BUT HER HUSBAND BILL SHOT OFF HIS MOUTH ABOUT A U.S. MARINE INSISTING THE MAN'S MIND WAS "POISONED."

BIG TALK FOR A SEXUAL PREDATOR WITH A LIST OF WOMEN CLAIMING TO HAVE BEEN HARASSED OR RAPED BY HIM -- A VERY LONG LIST -- AND A SEXUAL PREDATOR WHO CANNOT PRACTICE LAW BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT.

REACHED FOR COMMENT, CRANKY SAID, "WE WILL TRASH ANYONE -- IN UNIFORM OR OUT -- WHO STANDS IN MY WAY!"



FROM THE TCI WIRE:



Starting in the US where Cranky Clinton wants to be president.  However, the former First Lady, former US senator, former Secretary of State and forever War Hawk, doesn't want to disclose her private speeches to Wall Street.

She and her husband Bill Clinton have taken millions from Wall Street.  They are happy to sing and dance before them and say whatever.  They just don't want the American people to know what was said.

Why does it matter?

John Podesta is the Chair of the 2016 Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.




Huge thanks to all the staff, volunteers, and friends who brought it home. On to Super Tuesday!






He is also -- with his brother -- the founder of The Podesta Group.


A lobbying group.

And his closeness to Hillary benefits him -- if not the people of the United States.


The Podesta Group has [PDF format warning] disclosed their new contact to represent the government of Iraq:


Iraq shall pay the Provider an amount of nine hundred sixty thousand US dollars (US $960,000) for services rendered, plus expenses.  Quarterly installments of two hundred forty thousand US dollars (US $240,000) shall bee paid by check in advance of each three-month period, including the beginning of the term of this Agreement.  Should the Provider be required to travel, Iraq will reimburse Provider at cost for travel expenses, including but not limited to airline tickets, airport transfers, accommodations, and meals.  Public relations expenses such as subscription services, events, digital and media monitoring, or advertising will also be passed through at cost.
Expenses for each three-month period shall be invoiced and paid by check with the fees due for the following period.  Total expenses billed during the period of this contract shall not exceed forty thousand US dollars (US $40,000).


What's that money buying?


The contract innocently puts it:




The objectives of this contract are to promote better understanding within the United States of the priorities and concerns of the Government of Iraq and to further the purposes of the Strategic Framework Agreement between the United States and Iraq, facilitate dialogue between Iraq and the U.S. Congress and executive branch, and make available to the Government of Iraq the services identified below. 



So Podesta's family gets richer and he gets Hillary's ear and what do the Iraqi people get?

A non-responsive government which tolerates and participates in abuses well documented by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.



A functioning media would be raising this issue, asking Hillary at debates, "How will you be protecting the people of Iraq when the Podestas rake in close to a million for representing the government of Iraq?"


They'd be asking about her own vision of a free Iraq.  They'd be asking about this Tweet:











  • But we don't have a functioning media.

    Clinton's still on her plantation


    BULLY BOY PRESS  CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

    PLANTATION MISTRESS CRANKY CLINTON WAS SHOCKED IN SOUTH CAROLINA TODAY WHEN BLACK LIVES MATTERS ACTIVISTS PROTESTED HER.

    AN OBVIOUSLY ANGRY CRANKY TOLD THESE REPORTERS, "THAT THOSE PEOPLE WOULD PROTEST ME -- ME!  AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR THEM.  WELL IF THEY DON'T WANT TO VOTE FOR ME, THEY CAN JUST GO BACK TO PICKING COTTON!  NO ONE'S DONE MORE FOR THEM THAN I HAVE!  NO ONE!  I EVEN INVITED BILL COSBY TO THE WHITE HOUSE WHEN I WAS FIRST LADY!"


    FROM THE TCI WIRE:


    In the 2016 US presidential race, Iraq remains an issue -- much to frustration of Hillary Clinton who, as  a US Senator, voted for the war and supported it throughout most of her years in the Senate.




  • she defend mass murderer Kissinger instead of Iraqi women & girls who now being tortured by isil thx 2 her vote 4 Iraq war.
  • Hillary should beg for forgiveness from the families who lost loved ones in the Iraq war she voted for.




  • “I am happy to admit that voting for Iraq War and the Patriot Act was a mistake when everybody else does the same"








  • Of course, when forced to comment, Hillary calls her vote for the Iraq War a "mistake."  To that,
    Ben Tanosborn (RUSSIA INSIDER) offers:

    Time and time again we, Americans, keep referring to the invasion of Iraq in 2003 as a mistake; almost in unanimity: Democrats and Republicans.  But it was not a mistake, not by a long shot!  It was a calculated, belligerent act by a government clique of elitist war-hawks, Bush-Junior and Dick Cheney at the top of the criminal heap.  Fortunately for these American leaders, and unfortunately for the rest of us, only leaders from nations vanquished are indicted and go to trial.  If the Axis had prevailed in World War II, and we were living in Hitler’s Millennium, there would not have been those Nuremberg Trials (1945-9), or the subsequent enactment of important, critical international law, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), or the Geneva Convention (1949).  No, no gallows for Bush and Cheney… only admiration from fools!
    [. . .]
    Yes; Hillary Rodham Clinton, former First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State constantly invokes her extensive experience in affairs of state as strongly qualifying her for the White House; yet her vast experience follows for the most part decisions with bad judgment… bad experience which in my book is counterproductive to that required from a prospective good and effective leader. 



    Meanwhile, Paul Rosenberg (SALON) takes Cranky Clinton to task for the sliming she and her supporters are giving her rival US Senator Bernie Sanders who stood against the war:


    But we’ve also seen a predictable Clinton emphasis on foreign policy, taking aim at Sanders’ comparatively meager record—as we saw in the PBS debate in Milwaukee [transcript]—and trying to portray it as utterly disqualifying, rather than as yet another reflection of a profound elite/mass divide, symbolized by their starkly different views of elite elder statesman Henry Kissinger.
    However, such a move also requires a massive case of amnesia—above and beyond her palling around with Henry Kissinger, that is—for Clinton’s hawkish differences with Obama as well as Sanders.  It’s not just her Iraq War vote we’re talking about. Sanders is also far more in tune with Obama’s willingness to negotiate with enemies—a formerly bipartisan posture that traces back to John F. Kennedy (“Let us never negotiate out of fear, but let us never fear to negotiate”) as well as Teddy Roosevelt (“Speak softly and carry a big stick—you will go far”). 
    The fact that this is now seen as a soft, risky or fringe position by many in the establishment simply goes to show how badly the establishment has lost its way, on foreign policy, every bit as much as on domestic issues.



    Sanctions had already harmed Iraq before the start of the current war (March 2003).  The illegal war resulted in the deaths of over one million Iraqis.

    As appalling as that figure is, the dead aren't coming back.

    And the living?

    They not only mourn, they have to live with and in the system the US created.

    That's a government largely ruled by Shi'ites who fled Iraq like cowards before the US-led invasion of 2003.  In exile, they nursed their hatred and suckled on their fear.  When they re-merged in Iraq and were placed in positions of power, they misused their positions to fuel hatred.

    And did we note how corrupt they are?

    Last week, MEM reported, "Iraq’s Commission of Public Integrity referred on Thursday four former senior officials to court on charges of corruption.  The Commission said in a statement released on Thursday that it had referred to court two former deputies of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, the former director of former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s military office and Baghdad’s former mayor."


    Nouri al-Maliki became a very rich man while prime minister (2006 - 2014) and was able to secure a fleet of sports cars and pricey digs (such as the one in London) for his idiot son.


    The bulk of the Iraqi people live in or near poverty.

    This despite the fact that the country has approximately 30 million citizens and brings in billions each year via oil.

    Cranky bills herself as an American Evita

    BULLY BOY PRESS  CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE


    CRANKY CLINTON SQUEAKED BY IN NEVADA BUT MAY NOT HAVE TRIUMPHED WITH LATINO VOTERS.


    REACHED FOR COMMENT, CRANKY INSISTED THAT THE POLLING IS WRONG "JUST WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.  HOW COULD LATINOS NOT SUPPORT ME?  THEY LOVED EVITA IN ARGENTINA AND WHAT AM I IF NOT AN AMERICAN EVITA?  LATINOS LOVE ME.  THEY LOVE ME BECAUSE I DO NOTHING FOR THEM AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW ANY EXCEPT THE ONES WHO ARE MY SERVANTS -- IN MY CAMPAIGN OR HOME.  I HAVE THE LATINO VOTE.  ALWAYS!"

    AND WITH THAT, CRANKY NODDED DECISIVELY AND THEN LET OUT A LOUD FART.


    FROM THE TCI WIRE:



    In other destruction, this crap:


    But the fact remains that whoever’s elected this year is nearly guaranteed to inherit the war on ISIS that President Obama launched back in 2014. He or she will be the fifth consecutive US president to preside over some variety of military intervention in Iraq—a dour chapter that’s already continued for at least 25 years, dating back to the Gulf War. (And that’s not even counting the US role in the bloody Iran-Iraq war before that.)
    The good news is that Sanders sent some promising signals about his judgment on the last US invasion before it was even launched—in fact, probably even more so than he’s usually credited for. But the bad news is that his statements on the latest iteration of the conflict have been all over the map. In his bumbling calls for a “Muslim coalition” to stop ISIS, he’s shown none of the acumen that so distinguished him over 13 years ago.
    Without a plan to resolve the ISIS war responsibly, the US war in Iraq could reverberate through yet another generation. If Sanders is elected, that’ll be a grim asterisk to his “political revolution” indeed.


    If that garbage appeared at a military think tank, no one would be surprised.

    Instead, it's from jizz in his pants Petey Certo and it's published by THE NATION.

    That's what happens when Democrats are in charge of the White House (war), THE NATION goes all wobbly and loses any strong voice at all.

    The 'responsibly' is a lie.

    It's the lie that continues war every damn time, even when everyone knows it's time to end it, the 'responsibly' qualifier keeps it going.

    If you're my husband and you're beating the crap out of me?

    I'm going to end that marriage.

    Responsibly?

    No, immediately.

    By the same token, there is no 'win' here.

    There is nothing but more destruction.

    But THE NATION is a cathouse, a bordello of whores and FPIF is a joke.

    Does Phyllis Bennis really find pride being associated with what is now a war mongering outlet that let's just sprouted pubes boys pretend that they have any perspective to offer?

    Petey's a little idiot who pulls his pud to Barack Obama and thinks that makes him special or smart.

    He's just one more whorish idiot arguing for the continuation of war.


    We all suffer when liars claim a crime can be ended "responsibly."

    We all suffer as the crime continues while these liars look for their way out -- their 'responsible' way out.
