Touting her plan to rebuild America’s infrastructure, Clinton said:

“Look, I’m excited about this stuff. I’m kind of a wonky person.”

But I kept thinking of the big gap between Clinton’s words and actions that her own emails reveal — especially toward Latin America.

When my turn came for a question, I asked about her role as secretary of state during the 2009 military coup in Honduras — a country from which so many children and mothers have fled to the U.S. of late to escape massive political and gang violence.

Before the coup, Honduras was at least making progress. Its democratically elected president, Manuel Zelaya, had instituted free public education for all, decreed a reduction in sky-high bank interest, and sharply raised the minimum wage.


Then Hillary wrecked it. Just like Libya, when progress was being made in that country.

We're way worse than the Soviet Union ever was. We're truly the Evil Empire with Hillary calling the shots.

I actually listened through the whole interview... much of it twice and thrice. She.Is.Slippery.

"We need to link what needs to be done with what can be achieved ... because one of the challenges is that we're locked into an ideologically binary world. It sounds boring but this is the kind of strategic analysis and presentation I believe in."

-Hillary (SuperWonk) Clinton


Argle + Bargle = I didn't do anything wrong or at best you'll never conclusively prove otherwise. Meanwhile you may believe that I will tell the truth soon after if and when everybody else has done so in writing, and delivered their complete notarized confessions (and formal requests for mine), to my legal team, in triplicate.

I firmly believe this is fair, because no one is above the law... (even though a few of us are safely hidden deep within it).

Gotta go, thanks bye.

I don't watch MSNBC & have only watched a few bits of CNN in the past week.
