Bill Maher and the "Notorious HRC."

Courtesy of Raw Story:  

The voting public, Maher said, “don’t want America’s nicest grandma. They want the wolf that puts a grandma in its teeth. They want a ruthless Mafia boss who will protect their frightened souls, which is why Hillary has to own all the nasty things the haters say and run as the Notorious H.R.C.”

I loved this part:

"And to those who accuse Hillary Clinton of not being able to work with Republicans? She should say 'Republican prosecutor Ken Starr exonerated me. Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy of the Benghazi committee exonerated me. Republican FBI Director James Comey exonerated me. You're right, I don't work with Republicans I beat their ass at their own game.'"

But I have to say that most of Real Time went way off the rails last night with the help of Cornel West who channeled the very worst of the Bernie Bros arrogance and opposition for the sake of opposition attitude.

And even when Barney Frank came on to set the record straight with some facts, West just kept digging out chunks of poo to throw around the set during his infantile tantrum.

My daughter, who just arrived back in town yesterday, sat with me to watch the show and she was completely embarrassed by what the Bernie Sanders supporters have devolved into.

    OT:"“We’re sleepwalking into a new Cold War,” said William Perry, who served as Secretary of Defense under Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1996, an era of relatively warm relations between the U.S. and Russia. “There’s hardly any debate about it, and the public doesn’t understand the danger.”

    Watched this show. Funny. Altho, anything about Donald Trump ceased to be funny months and months ago. Now, America we are in the fight for our life. Not with the Russians who want Donald to be the president. But the American people who believe that Donald is going to save us. Save us from what. He's practically handing our asses over to Putin. And the Republican party is helping him because they have had a twenty year old bone to pick with Hillary. Time to head for the Hillz folks, or your' ass is grass.

    Trump Mocked Mercilessly After He Tries (And Fails) To Mock Clinton

    http://addictinginfo.org/2016/07/30/trump-mocked-mercilessly-after-he-tries-and-fails-to-mock-clinton/

    How do you stop cyber-attacks? Well, if you’re Donald Trump, the solution is very, very simple. It’s so simple it’s amazing nobody else has thought of it. Trump must think he’s the genius of the world for thinking of this. He believes that stopping cyber-attacks is as simple as no longer using computers, let alone the Internet.

    No, really, he pretty much said that at a rally in Colorado just yesterday. It’s almost laughable if you can get through his word salad:

      Remember that Fox News probably kept its camera focused on the small but disgustingly noisy and rude group of Bernie bros in the auditorium.

      The difference between Democrats an the GOP is, however, that they were not thrown out (although I admit that there were times when I wished they had been). It really did bother me, though, that they never had the sense to think that they were making fools of themselves on national television. The military will always have a place in our government. Some of these idiots need to learn that. They may dream of replacing the Defense Department with the "Peace Department" but the world does not work that way. Having a president who will be careful about using the military and treat them with respect for the risks that they take in our name is important. Let's face it, the Bernie bros who were so noisy haven't a clue about much of anything. I think they realized by day 3 that their cause had failed.

    I watched the show last night too and was appalled at panelist West! He was rude and obnoxious throughout the show, to say the very least! The Bernie Sanders revolution folks are really showing themselves to be fucking jerks!

    Felt so sorry for Barney Frank who couldn't seem to get a word in edgewise! Or, we could not hear what he was saying because West kept yelling over him!

    I so hope West is banned from Bill's show. He was disgusting! The other panelists didn't get to say much either!

    Loved Bill's 'sum up' though as to Hillary and how she should act tough vs the sweet grandmother and mother. I personally would enjoy her being both!

    She can run a ramrod through Republicans - to include Donald Trump. She's already proven she is tough as nails when the need arises and she does it all w/calmness and thoughtful integrity throughout hearings, conversations, questioning, etc. We've seen her actions throughout the recent past decade and she's been outstanding. Better than most men, that is for sure!

    Hillary Clinton has my vote!

    Had to chuckle at Bill though! He was cute to watch as he lost total control of 'his' show due to West and Barney trying to talk over each other. I thought West to be the worst example of a guest we've ever seen on Bill's show!

    I'll bet Barney Frank was pissed as Hell - I'm sure he thought his being on the show was a total waste of his time!

    #TrumpSacrifices: Twitter DESTROYS Trump For Cowardly Attack On Military Family (TWEETS)

    Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump decided to attack the family of a U.S. soldier who died in combat in Iraq. Responding to Khizr Khan’s statement at the Democratic convention that Trump had “sacrificed nothing” for his country while pushing for bans on Muslims, Trump told ABC, “I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices. I work very, very hard.”

    U.S. Army Capt. Humayun Khan was a Muslim immigrant who died serving in Iraq in 2004.

    On Twitter, the dismissive, callous, and insensitive remarks from the former reality TV star and self-described billionaire (an assertion that has not been independently verified) were quickly attacked.

    The hashtag #TrumpSacrifices became the top trending hashtag in the world and thousands of posts mocking Trump followed.

    Donald Trump needs to be taken off the political scene forever! The man is horrible and does not represent the majority of Americans. He has no soul, is ugly inside and out, isn't bright, and assuredly isn't a Christian (certainly doesn't walk the walk as to being one!).

    He's committed treason (for the world to see) and it galls me that no one is going after him for that. What is wrong w/our country? It's no wonder he keeps pushing things - he appears to do it just to see how far he can go! Where are the Republican politicians in Congress? Where are their leaders - Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell? (All they do is provide a couple of soundbites!) These Republicans appear to think they will not lose their seats! I don't think either of them is doing their job or being responsible! They need to be replaced! What is wrong w/their party? Vote every one of them out of office when you have the chance.

    Alaska is going to get their chance to rid themselves of Republican Lisa Murkowski (U.S. Congress) in November! She's done nothing for Alaska. You can tell she is worried as she is already running political ads on TV throughout Alaska.

    I'm already campaigning against her! The Alaska Legislature has many Republicans that also need replacement.

    Vote, vote, vote Alaskans. Turn our state 'blue' again! We have already begun with the most recent election in Anchorage of our Democratic Mayor who is doing an outstanding job!

      Sullivan is the one to watch. He came to Alaska straight from the Bush Administration with one goal in mind: using Alaska to make his own run for president. That's what I predicted when he arrived and so far his plan is working. He's still a nobody in the Senate but if Lisa goes he's the senior senator.
