Thank you, Sec Hillary Clinton

[BComplex]

1. Today is a GREAT day to donate to every single democratic campaign featuring a true

democrat! (i.e., Not one of those who vote with the republicans.)

[Budi]

3. Yes. Our Democratic Party.

sans the usurpers.

(By now we all know who they are)

[Cha]

2. That "establishment"

Planned Parenthood.. YES IT IS!

Rt TY!

[Budi]

5. LOL. Yes, the 'Establishment' Planned Parenthood.

The boomer establishment Planned Parenthood.

The one women have always relied on.
For women, by women ~

[Cha]

6. Kick.. that was

was Shameful

[betsuni]

13. A politician claiming to be the only one fighting for the working class dismisses PP,

often the only reproductive health care poor women can get, as "part of the establishment" -- a petty insult that doesn't even mean anything.

[Cha]

14. Exactly..

4. Hillary was right about the SCOTUS

7. Hillary was Dead On!

[speak easy]

16. and at the time, you Cha, stressed SCOTUS - to anyone - everyone

but 'whatevers' wanted to chant about Wall Street. I remember. And we can't talk about it on DU to this day.

[Cha]

17. I remember too, speak easy..

Anyone who cared about Women's Rights could see that.

18. Bwah! 😂 👍 I love this even as it IS so Unfortunately True! 😔

[DFW]

8. I ALWAYS donate to Planned Parenthood

Both the national HQ and some of the state organizations.

I have had great admiration for them for many years now.

[Budi]

9. What an outstanding team.

👍 that pic

11. Well, my three friends are, anyway

Katrina, Cecile and Jerry have accomplished a LOT in their lives. I was just invited along for the ride.

[Budi]

12. A commendable brush with fame

🙂

[DFW]

19. Well, not exactly a brush

I have known all three of them for many years.

Katrina had invited me the 150th anniversary of the Nation's founding in Washington, never dreaming I'd actually be there that day. Usually, I'm NEVER in America in September, let alone D.C. But THAT particular year, I was, because a close friend of ours was getting married in Massachusetts in September, so we stayed on after Cape Cod, and we had planned to stay with my brother in Virginia for a few days before. Katrina was as surprised as hell that I actually accepted her invitation, and you wouldn't BELIEVE who was there. That's why I said I was just along for the ride. A PARTIAL list: E.J. Dionne, Dennis Kucinich, Cecile and Jerry, of course, Raúl Grijalva, Elizabeth Warren, Eleanor Clift, Rev. William Barber, and that's just off the top of my head. I knew some friends there, of course, but the place was a practical who's who of East Coast progressive thought, and I was VERY humbled to have been asked. As far as fame goes, I wasn't even on the radar at that gathering. But anyone who WAS there was definitely among friends.

[Budi]

21. A power group & there you were in the thick of it!

However the day unfolded, it was a memorable one, indeed.

Thanks for the story!

[DFW]

35. It WAS a memorable day for sure

There was some serious Democratic candlepower emanating from there that day. And a group with any one of the three of the ones in the photo is already a power group.

20. When I had access to a computer I used to design...

with Word, either just text, or text with my own drawings - various Flyers for the Presidential elections in the late '90s, and 00's that I'd tape up in my nabe, and 2 big Uniiversities.

In one cycle I did one all about Supreme Court Picks.

[Budi]

22. That one on SC Court picks, would be interesting to read.

You still have it?
Just for history's sake.

[electric_blue68]

23. I do. 😁 Plus some of the others that I particularly liked...

I'd need a ?photo hosting site to post it here.

(I'll post the question in the help section. I've been meaning to do that any way! )

I'm also rather fond of my Sara Palin one. 😁


Btw...
I noticed - your Avatar - is that RFK?

I have "...seek a newer world" as my signature line. 👍

[Budi]

27. RFK is the epitome of 'what a better world would be'

[electric_blue68]

28. I was so looking forward to him campaigning in NYC for our then ...

NYS Presidential Primary.

I listened to a particular later night NYC radio talk show around mid '67 onward whose host had very many of JFK's and RFK's people on.

Here's my 'I could kick myself' story.
I'd fallen out of watching parades in person mode (though I'd not gone to many) by 15 y/o. Bobby was going to march in the NYC Greek Parade in '68. I'm 2nd Gen half Greek American. It's a tricky weather time often coldish, and grey.
I finally decided 'Eh, I'll catch him in the NYS Primary...' .
😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😑😔😔😔😔😔

Still stings all these decades later.

Finally - I know Chris Matthews is an iffy person for many - but he wrote an extroidinary book on RFK (if you haven't read it) 'A Raging Spirit: _ _ _ _ _ ' .

I remember my mom who didn't like him bc of the McCarthy Hearings say to me as she heard stories of him during his '68 campaign; "He's changed'.

As revealed in CM's book - he was a gentle, empathetic soul but his father hated that so he toughened himself up. After his brother's assassination that side of him began to reemerge.

29. K & R It has always been about race, as I see it.

I've always believed his assasination was because of the bond he had with the Black demographic.

The reason MLK was murdered is the same reason RFK was murdered.

The south was severely split & the rise & unity emerging of the Black voter was a direct threat to the southern white supremacy.

Bobby Kennedy was certain to lead them following MLK's murder, & that simply could not be.

I remember reading a piece, when Bill Clinton won the election over GHWBush that spoke to this same theme.

It stated that BC was warned as his campaign grew with the average man, specifically as he gathered a force with the Black people of the south.
He was warned to stay out of the south.
I don't recall who directed the threat at the time.
Thinking who the most likely culprits might have been, I'm guessing the Strom Thurmond group of supremacists. There were others named, but I don't recall.

As it went, Bill C won & the southern Black voters played a definate part.

As the typical knee-capping of a Democratic leader like BC goes thru history, what better way to end his popularity than a Roger Stone orchesrated sex scandal.

Roger Stone
Linda Tripp
Monica Lewinski
The DeGenova duo
And the emerging Fox newscasters of Ann Coulter, a young Kayleigh McEnany & Kellyann Conway along with the DiGenovas became the main nightly face of the Clinton scandal reporters.

Knowing what we now know of everyone of them, the appearance of a hit on President Clinton for refusing to 'stay out of the south', seems more orchestrated than simply by happenstance.

That is why the Southern Black voting biock was always a threat to the rise of white supremacy in the history of the US.

It has always been about race, as I see it.

Thanks...

36. Read "The Hunting of the President" for the info. Funded by Richard Mello Scaife and other R-W's

[Budi]

37. Ugh, yes forgot about him too. Richard Mello Scaife 🤬

I recall seeing Hillary make her statement on the Tonight show, about the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. It was no exageration.
She just said it out loud.
Yet another warning, by this woman who stood against the RW behemoth then, as well as now.

31. Just replied to your Community post as to the image posting link I use.

Hope it works.

Its pretty simple to grab a pic, copy the link on that site in the Direct Link line, & paste it here.
It'll do jpg & png-(sometimes, unless it's protected).

I use it mostly for gifs.
