Hillary Clinton Rages: “I WON THE GODDAMN ELECTION!”

Linktor? is that the Doctor's elder sibling?

Meanwhile, a not unreasonable proposal about refugee resettlement in the USofA.

One requiring only a memo from the president to the Department of Homeland Security and a few other relevant agencies.

Simply settle refugees and illegal immigrants in sanctuary cities. More specifically into the progressive, virtue-signaling neighborhoods that liberal judges and politicians call home.

When our mayor begged Obama to resettle refugees in our city, I'm pretty sure he was certain it wouldn't be in his neighborhood. It is much easier to be generous if you're inconveniencing other people and not yourself and neighbors.

Curiously, aside from having planned an anti-Trump event defined by “pussy hats” and Ashley Judd’s most public embarrassment, Linda Sarsour has yet another distinction: she has vigorously promoted Sharia law.

Being dressed in a bag from head to foot will end catcalls, so there is that. And no voting, no driving on your own, no going out without a male relative to defend your value...err, virtue.

Answer: yes. Next question.

AT&T, Time Warner shares halted on report of possible DOJ antitrust suit

Holy Shit.

Interesting look behind the curtain, written by Donna Brazile.

https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/11/02/clinton-brazile-hacks-2016-215774

The campaign had the DNC on life support, giving it money every month to meet its basic expenses, while the campaign was using the party as a fund-raising clearinghouse. Under FEC law, an individual can contribute a maximum of $2,700 directly to a presidential campaign. But the limits are much higher for contributions to state parties and a party’s national committee.

Individuals who had maxed out their $2,700 contribution limit to the campaign could write an additional check for $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund—that figure represented $10,000 to each of the 32 states’ parties who were part of the Victory Fund agreement—$320,000—and $33,400 to the DNC. The money would be deposited in the states first, and transferred to the DNC shortly after that. Money in the battleground states usually stayed in that state, but all the other states funneled that money directly to the DNC, which quickly transferred the money to Brooklyn.

“Wait,” I said. “That victory fund was supposed to be for whoever was the nominee, and the state party races. You’re telling me that Hillary has been controlling it since before she got the nomination?”

Later on, there's this (emphasis mine):

Yet the states kept less than half of 1 percent of the $82 million they had amassed from the extravagant fund-raisers Hillary’s campaign was holding, just as Gary had described to me when he and I talked in August. When the Politico story described this arrangement as “essentially … money laundering” for the Clinton campaign, Hillary’s people were outraged at being accused of doing something shady. Bernie’s people were angry for their own reasons, saying this was part of a calculated strategy to throw the nomination to Hillary.

Because it looks an awful lot like money laundering?

Holy shit what, Crid? I don't see a link there.

Because it looks an awful lot like money laundering? ~ I R A Darth Aggie at November 2, 2017 9:12 AM

Money laundering is SOP for the Clinton crime family.

Brazile's revelations are eye-opening, but not unexpected. Like vampires, Obama bled the DNC dry and the Clintons fed off the corpse. All with the full cooperation and complicity of the DNC itself.

Yet, these are the people some folks wanted running our national treasury and managing our money supply.

That's the true legacy of the Obama age. The dismantling and almost total disintegration of a storied political party. Reagan left the post-Nixon Republican Party in better shape than he found it in, despite fierce resistance to his candidacy from the party Mandarins. Bill Clinton did not do the same for the Democrats. And Obama allowed the bloodletting the Clintons had started to continue.

But Obama's role may have been smaller than Brazile indicates. The Clintons were essentially in charge of the party then, even during Obama's presidency. Hillary chose DWS, not the Obamas; and it wasn't for her fundraising skills, but for her obeisance to the Clinton machine.

Outgoing DNC Chair, Tim Kaine, recommended Clinton's 2008 campaign co-chair, DWS, to succeed him. Brazile also served as the interim head of the DNC between Kaine and DWS, so there may be some bitterness as she had been in line for the permanent position before it went to DWS. Brazile was not a Clinton operative and could not be trusted to put the Clinton's interests ahead of the DNC's.

I'm not going to suggest, as some conspiracy theorists have, that Kaine cut a deal then that made him Hillary's running made in 2016 - merely that Hillary was lining up her ducks for a 2016 run; and one of those ducks was to have a friendly face at the DNC.

Kaine's position on the Clinton-Kaine ticket was probably more due to the fact that he won a statewide election in Virginia, a state presumed to be more Republican than Democrat based on past elections, but a flawed presumption that ignored the migration of pro-DC suburbanites that had, by the time of Obama's election, all but turned that state bright red.

Deer Penthouse Letters,

Nothing like this ever happens to me. Which is probably for the best.

A woman was arrested on the airplane for performing oral sex on a man while they were in their seats. The 48-year-old woman was heading to Nashville, while the 28-year-old man was heading to Miami.

https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/man-woman-caught-having-sex-on-flight-to-detroit-after-meeting-on-plane

Oh, come on! We all know that oral sex is not sex-sex.

"...but a flawed presumption that ignored the migration of pro-DC suburbanites that had, by the time of Obama's election, all but turned that state bright red."

I think you meant bright blue... I'm not sure it is quite there yet. The irony is that this is all happening because of another blue state, Maryland. It used to be that the Maryland side had the bulk of the D.C. suburbs, and the Virginia side was the poor relation. But Maryland's high taxes, aggressive law enforcement targeting suburbanites, and its more or less surrendering Baltimore to BLM/Antifa, has driven most of the large employers, and their employees, to the Virginia side. Having not learned their lesson, many of them continue to vote for the policies that made Maryland uninhabitable.

But other parts of Virginia are growing too. Richmond is relatively conservative for a state capital, and most of the rest of the state is deep red. It's going to be a contest to see which faction grows fastest.

Instapundit twofer. First, don't put a ring on it.

...I don't understand why Ricketts is expected to keep something he owns in business if it's not making as much money as he wants it to make.

It's as powerful a business fantasy as any I've had: The employees demand to be paid more, and get government power to force my hand. I tell them fuckit, I'll do something else with the resources.

As I understand it, only 116 people are losing their jobs across both of Ricketts' companies.

The thing is, the closure could have been done differently, give them time to collect their stories for their resumes.

The abrupt closure looks more like it was done out of sheer spite, and that is going to make people weary about getting involved with his future endeavors.

But I guess he's a billionaire with plenty of Fuck You money, so those things are just trivial nonsense.

Always keep samples of your work outside of work (unless, of course it violates a law - yes, Hillary and Huma, I'm looking at you). You are not guaranteed time to gather them later to put together a portfolio for a job search. Change the names and important details if you're worried about confidentiality.

I always kept a flash drive and put work i was proud of on that. I've been through enough layoffs to know how the game works.

Agree w/Coney in all respects, and have done the same.

Also, unionizing a workplace is a often a largely spiteful undertaking.
