1. I forget how sharp she is...

and then am reminded again. What a shame that we didn't get 4-8 years of her.

[erronis]

14. That's what THEY were afraid of. Hillary at the helm.

Putin and the US plutocrats were not expecting to actually win the election.

Then they struck fools gold - djt.

[hamsterjill]

23. Absolutely!

Great post. The only comment I’d make is that I think there IS a possibility that Putin knew Trump would win. I’m still not convinced that Hillary lost fair and square - but unlike the QAnons, I’ve moved on.

Hillary is a national treasure.

[CaptainTruth]

24. Hence their all-out character assassination of her.

I hope everyone understands how long ago it began. Early in her career they realized she was smart enough & competent enough to pose a threat to the GOP, so they spent decades discrediting her & lying about her.

The result? I have a Republican customer who once told me that they didn't like Trump "but Hillary is evil." I asked why they believed that, what things she had done that made them think that & they said "I don't know, it's just what I've heard."

And there you have a perfect example of the power of effective messaging.

[yellowdogintexas]

38. I have never been able to get an answer to that question either

they know she is horrible/evil/whatever but can't tell you how

[Polybius]

22. We still might

Ya never know...

[padah513]

2. Tell this to Andrea Mitchell and

Mika Brezinski and Joe Scarborough

[jaxexpat]

6. ....and all the people who still think there must have been a fire because there was so much smoke.

Why did the media universally agree to demonize this woman? Was it something someone said? Like Bill Clinton, when he said she was the smartest person he knew? and that from the smartest president we ever had (for sure, since 1980).

[Jerry2144]

8. And all that smoke

Was from the smoke machines and pyrotechnics set up by the vast right-wing conspiracy that has been attacking the Clinton family since forever. The actual smoke coming from them is in the order of what you get blowing out a match, not California Brush Fire levels of smoke. They are good people and not corrupt

[2Gingersnaps]

13. Fans of the National Enquirer President...

until it became overwhelmingly embarrassing trying to normalize the ignorance, vulgarity, and criminality.

[spooky3]

18. I would say Obama was tied with Bill for smartest

Prez.

[csziggy]

40. Don't leave Jimmy Carter out of the smartest category nt

[Wounded Bear]

3. K & R...I distinctly remember...

that during that whole gaslighting campaign, the actual content of "heremailz" were never actually exposed or discussed.

[Hortensis]

4. Leaving them all free for endless work on "the insinuation is the crime."

Lol, love Hillary's comment on her versus Meadows' emails.

[Kingofalldems]

5. Kick and rec

[MontanaMama]

7. Kick.

I’m still with her.

10. Meadows deserves "But his emails"

Where are you MSM?

[2Gingersnaps]

11. Her charity with A+ rating defamed by the felon Dinesh D'Souza.

Hey Dinesh, she got her A+ rating back when they investigated and found out you are a liar, but the damage was already done and still she did not sue you for defamation. And she never stole from a children's cancer charity, was not banned by the State of New York from running a charity, or had to take court ordered classes on how not to steal from charities.

[crickets]

12. Boom. Good for you, Hillary!

Caught this tidbit in the thread:

Mueller, She Wrote
@MuellerSheWrote
I asked Pete Strzok how the FBI investigation into Hillary’s emails started. He said it was a referral from the ICIG having gone through material she produced for congress’ Benghazi committee.

That means the ICIG is likely going through everything produced to the 1/6 committee

Since I had to look it up, I'll share to save others the time:

ICIG = https://www.dni.gov/index.php/who-we-are/organizations/icig/icig-who-we-are

The 2010 Intelligence Authorization Act formally established the Office of the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

In accordance with Title 50 U.S.C.A. Section 3033, the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community (ICIG) conducts independent and objective audits, investigations, inspections, and reviews to promote economy, efficiency, effectiveness, and integration across the Intelligence Community.

Interesting.

[Hekate]

15. ...and some Italian nonna's recipe, iirc....

[Jon King]

16. Ha, what an amazing tweet!

She absolutely nailed that one!

[alfredo]

17. Gefilte fish is a crime against all that is Christian and holy

[AZLD4Candidate]

20. Well. . .it's food for Passover that we Jews eat and celebrate

And history has shown what Catholics and Christians have thought about us Jews.

[Lucky Luciano]

25. Don't worry, we Jews (half anyway for me) got nothing on the Norwegians!

Lutefisk - OMG NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!

Prepping fish with lye? GTFOH.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutefisk

[iemanja]

31. Norwegians don't even eat lutefisk

Only Norwegian-Americans, at least here in Minnesota they do.

[iemanja]

29. Is it like

or the same as lutefisk?

[AZLD4Candidate]

32. No. The fish is combined with matzo meal, eggs, spices, and a few other things

to make sort of a white slug like looking thing. Gefilte Fish are an acquired taste because of the look and consistency. I've eaten them my entire life. I actually love eating them with horseradish on to.

[iemanja]

33. I'm glad you enjoy it

Thanks for the info.

[alfredo]

37. I ate some when I was a kid, and it was not a favorite. No meaning beyond that.

There is some ashkenazi in my DNA. There is also some Persian in me. There’s even a town in Iran with our surname and a Tatar trader in Siberia sports our name.

[IronLionZion]

19. Podesta's risotto recipe is a matter of national importance

[Polybius]

21. Is somebody Jewish in Hillary's family?

Gefilte fish is polarizing even among Jewish families. At a friend's house years ago I saw what they look like. Fish in jelly. I passed.

[karynnj]

26. Her son-in -law is Jewish, though I have no idea if he is observant at all

I do not think the kids are Jewish, because I never heard that Chelsea converted (like Ivamka).

[TexasBushwhacker]

27. Yup, minced fish and matza crumbs in gelatinous broth n/t

[stage left]

28. I love Hillary.

She will always be Madam President to me.

[iemanja]

30. Don't forget the chocolate cookie recipe

That is of national importance.

35. Why Mark Meadows' use of personal email accounts matters

The idiots who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton due to her emails still piss me off. The NYT and other media sources covered this issue in a way to to help elect TFG. Now the medial is ignoring the fact that TFG's COS did far worse

Link to tweet

But Meadows offers an even more striking example, not only because he was part of a Republican White House filled with Clinton critics who were doing what she did, but also because he was a GOP member of Congress — who helped investigate Clinton's email practices in 2016.

In fact, it was the Republican-led House Oversight Committee that held hearings on Clinton's email protocols ahead of Election Day 2016, and it was Meadows who served on the committee at the time.

Four years later, he became the White House chief of staff — a position in which Meadows had access to highly classified information, and a job in which he was required to use government-issued accounts and electronic devices.

It nevertheless appears that the Republican used "a personal cellphone, a Signal account and two personal Gmail accounts for government business."

It's something to keep in mind the next time a rabid GOP crowd starts chanting, "Lock her up."

[Kath2]

36. Excellent.

I still love Hillary.

[niyad]

42. I always will.

Hillary is, as usual spot-on.

Of course, all we get is crickets when Republicans do it. Infuriating!

[Jakes Progress]

43. This country seems to have it in for smart women.

I am always amazed at the lies and smears and stupid things that people are willing to believe about Hillary. Some of the nastiest attitudes about her come from women. I just don't get it. Back when she was in the primary, we even had Hillary hate here on DU.

In 2016 we had two candidates: the most qualified, honest, and smartest ever to run and the lowest, stupidest, most inept, and disgusting ever to run. So which one did America put in office? I don't get it. I just don't get it.
