Clinton urged people to join a Washington D.C. rally Tuesday.
Wiping the servers with a cloth or something
I really hope what she has to say is "In hindsight, I sure was wrong about having a private email server and using it for government work. I don't know why, but it took me until Elon Musk started running private servers at government offices to realize that only fully vetted government servers should be used on government networks."
But, that's probably not it.
Does Musk have a security clearance? Has he accessed documents for programs that he hasn't been read in? I would go to jail if I did the latter. Our country's security is being compromised and no one is doing anything.
You mean the Hillary Clinton who said that it was okay to have different public versus private opinions on things, as an elected official, who got PAID to give speeches to wall Street, who used her influence to get the apparatchiks of the party to tip the scales in 2016 to ensure that SHE would be the nominee instead of an anti neo liberal who could have put up an amazing contrast to djt instead of her neoliberal centrism? The one who insisted that SHE needed to be president, and who very much helped us to get into the situation we find ourselves in today? Oh, cool. I am very much interested in what she has to say, because of course she holds the interests of the country above her own

I mean, I actually agree with this in theory. An elected official may not personally agree with something, even if they’re willing to vote it in. That’s just the nature of politics, because a representative should actually represent the people who voted them in, even if they don’t agree with every single fine detail. Sure, it’s worth examining whether their private opinions are affecting their public voting record. But at least in theory, there’s nothing wrong with voting differently than what your personal opinion would dictate.
For instance, what if a closeted racist gets voted in, but votes for DEI initiatives because it’s what their voter base would want? Sure, that’s a rare example, but it would be possible and should even be encouraged in that instance. In practice, it’s more likely that the closeted racist would get elected and then try to enact racist policies that align with their racist views. But at least on paper, the idea of “representatives shouldn’t have to agree with every single thing they vote for” is sound.
Why is Hillary posting on X. These people need to go over to BlueSky
Why is Hillary posting on X.
Out of love for what the platform has become.
You spelled Mastodon with almost none of the right letters.
you spelled Sharkey with almost none of the right letters
Because she needs the center right folks to see her posts
This is great. Yes, I hate Hillary with the white hot heat of seven suns too.
We need anyone with influence to be shining a light on this. She will reach a portion of the people that aren’t following reason. Hell, I applauded Joe fucking Rogan for a critical piece on Trump.
We’re stronger united.
We’re stronger united.
Then the center needs to fall in line.
Rogan was critical of trump? The fuck? He helped get the fucker elected.
When you "unite" with certain people you become weaker
Oh good, problem solved. Everyone can quit worrying now by golly.

It's interesting how no matter what level of depravity the Republicans are doing currently and how many news outlets are talking about it ad naseum, Microwave always finds the angles that pit progressives against liberals and centrists. He's more transparent than Kanye's date's dress at the grammys.
Is it really incitement just to post an article featuring the Democratic nominee from 2016? The connection to email servers is relevant.
Hmm gee why would anyone post articles that are vaguely negative about the Democratic establishment. Right now they're fighting the blatent corruption going on in our country by doing:
Don't forget all the things they did to protect federal workers like:
But of course you can't forget the ways they got popular policy enacted when their man was in office. Policy like:
It could be that Microwave is seeking such takes out because he's trying to control the conversation in that way, or it could be that such takes are the easiest to find because the mainstream media is trying to control the conversation in that way.
You opened that door.
The way this bitch laughed about trump wanted to rename the gulf of Mexico says it all. She is better than all of us and we should suffer for not kissing her ring and making her president.
How does pedo-donni ass taste? Actually never mind.
I am not a fan of trump or any politician. But it annoyed me to no end and it is the typical response of Democrat laughing because fuck you it doesn't effect me. You probably think it was good Biden pardoned his son. Enjoy losing elections until you learn this lesson time after time. You deserve all of this.
She is better than all of us
I didn't get that at all. Sorry your feelings are different.
Yeah I bet there are a lot of things "you don't get." But you got president trump twice now...
In 1994 the Clinton admin (her and Bill literally ran as a "two for one" in case you didn't know) did the largest RIF in federal history cutting a quarter million feds out. Using mostly the same methods trump is today.
The numbers were just now coming back.
So really, she's probably just mad he's doing such a bad job of it, or more likely gloating that she did it better to her inner circle.
But there's a reason trump was a big do or back then, and why the Clinton's went to his wedding.
It's crazy to watch how people have blotted Trump's decades of pandering to every corner of the NY political establishment (while laundering money for the mob and their friends in the dirty-as-dishwater NYPD). Nevermind how the Epstein web neatly ensnared liberals and conservatives alike, for the purpose of extorting them to enrich his investor clients and enhance his credibility as a powerful insider lobbyist.
Trump's the symptom of a much deeper rot. Our refusal to acknowledge that is as much a part of the problem with the modern political landscape as his actual presidency. Its the reason why guys like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are so impotent in their opposition.
The Clintons, the Bushes, Bloomberg, the Cuomos, Bracewell & Giuliani, Howard Lutnick and the Cantor Fitzgerald investment bank, Bill Akman and Russell Vought... they're all friends from way back. This doesn't begin and end with one bruised ego in 2014. If Mathew Thomas Crooks had been a better shot, the administrative state would still be getting demolished right now.
People are downvoting you, but you're absolutely right. These youngsters don't know just how much (most) people adored Trump up until ~2015.
I still think Bill and Hillary have/had an open marriage and that they only went with adultery because they figured it would be easier for the public to stomach than the truth which (I believe ) is likely to be a purely political marriage with secret lovers often.

I'm not "old" but I'm not young either, I don't remember any period where people liked Trump all that much. Maybe it's because I'm from NY and have pretty much heard about his bullshit on the news my whole life.
It's always blown my mind how people from NY could love him suddenly when our whole lives it's been one article after another about some scumbag thing he did to contractors, or something with a woman. He'd go on Howard Stern and just be a pig with him. Maybe some people liked that part of him, but I never got the impression people liked Trump at least from the 90s onward.

What's wrong with that? Don't get me wrong, I hate both of them, but out of all the things to call out about the Clintons, why that?

It's not that people adored him.
It's that he paid neoliberals to do things that favored the wealthy over average Americans, and Dems were more than happy to take his money and give him what he wants.
He gave for decades, he got more out of it than some wedding guests. As much as trump never paid his workers, he always paid his politicians.
And that's what they cared about.
We can't fix the country till we fix our party, and that means tossing a shit ton of rotten old apples out.
