Mine could use a grilled cheese sandwich. It's just not fair that our dear Cheese Sandwich taunts those of us who haven't had lunch yet!

But seriously, after the Nancy Reagan debacle, I question her judgment. Hell, I questioned it before then, but now?

Oh, hell no.

To set the record straight about all of the lies Camp Weathervane has told over the years, especially when she is running for President.

At the same time, it is also the end of the Clinton brand, and that is also a good thing.

2008 was not so long ago that I forgot any of the racist remarks that Hillary and Bubba made about then-Senator Obama.

I mean, Drugs are bad, kids! JUST SAY NO!



If that cancer granny didn't want to go to prison for 10 years, she should have known better than to eat that pot brownie!

...she should have spent 500 dollars a pill on an approved big pharma prescription med that would make her vomit for 10 hours and give her seizures.


By the way, there's a heroin addiction problem in the Northeast, therefore there can't be any meaningful reform to federal marijuana law. derrrp.

They need to have a new war on <insert thing to scare Americans> in the pipeline because USSR was starting to no longer be a threat they could have. The Seawolf sub was in development. We need a new enemy to fight. In comes the War on Drugs, That was before War on Terror.

HRC: Larry, it is such a great step for this country to start taking control our streets and our neighborhoods again. You and I have talked about that in the past. It has to be seen in context, it must be part of the larger initiative the president is pushing for crime control with more prison, tougher sentences, more prevention. But it is such an important step.

LK: You said after healthcare that what you were going to devote your attention to next.

HRC: The whole web of violence. The guns, the drug, the decaying neighborhoods, the irresponsibility. All of that we have to tackle.

nothing was done to help those decaying neighborhoods. Instead those 'irresponsible superpredators' were put in jail by the thousands for drug related crimes.

What prevention was ever presented by the Clinton admin? None.

What hope was ever offered for the people in these neighborhoods? None.

What economic & social justice was provided? None.

How so many can buy her lies now after having lived that reality then is simply a testament to the power of human denial, cognitive biases, and a dumbed down electorate once more voting for the assholes that will hurt them.

Once health care was quashed by the Repubs, the Clinton machine recognized THIS is what America needed most. Ugh.

She was a firm supporter of HeritageCare and was pushing a type of insurance mandate much like today's ACA.

If we remember that, then we see the Clintons for the Republicans they truly are - corporate welfare, bring superpredators and thugs to heel, and abolishing the social safety net.

She doesn't have the natural charisma but besides that she's pure politician.
