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.”

The one and only political show I watch, and actually talked my husband into it who is now a fan. That took some doing! This was excellent....and lmaoed at "I will cut a bitch!"
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the debates, Donnie, should you decide to accept them.
He won't. He's already whining about them.

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
ReplyDeletehttp://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:

Delete"that he got a letter from the National Football League saying they were unhappy that upcoming presidential debates conflicted with scheduled game broadcasts — but the NFL has denied sending Trump any such letter."
Why would the NFL care, Donnie? How stupid can you get. Their money has long since been made in contracts, games as scheduled. They're going to take a day off because YOU are speaking?
DeleteI may not be making any sense because OH the laughter! Yes, Donnie you are all that and a pee in the bushes because Porta Potty lines were long.
Says the guy that can't stop tweeting even when it plays into the hands of those mocking him for tweeting.
DeleteGlad to hear you are embarrassed by the Bernie bots because honestly, Gryphen, weren't you one of them??? Weren't you a big feel the Bern supporter?
ReplyDeleteUm, no.
DeleteDakota Meyer didn't like them either. He made a fool of himself on TV over them.
Deletehahahaha Gryph!
DeleteRemember that Fox News probably kept its camera focused on the small but disgustingly noisy and rude group of Bernie bros in the auditorium.
DeleteThe 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!
ReplyDeleteFelt 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!
Did you watch?
DeleteBarney Frank embarrassed?
If you say so.
Reread what was said, 6:45 PM! No one said Barney Frank was embarrassed (5:26 PM)!
DeleteI doubt Barney was embarrassed, but would assume he was pissed due to not being able to get his points across because of the loud-mouthed West constantly yammering!
I was hoping the Koch brothers would fund Trumpty Dumpty so I could call him The Koch Mess Monster
ReplyDeleteWest is just an unhinged dude with a big mouth. I can't figure out why people even invite him to discuss politics, it's not as if he's ever held elected office, he's just a shit stirrer.
ReplyDeleteDid you intend to say a Palinite?
DeleteThe definition of "shit stirrer".
Because it keeps Maher amused and he is very respectable to his guests.
DeleteCornel West gets showtime for the same reason Sarah Palin, and now her dumber-than-a-rock putative son-in-law; people love a train wreck.
Delete#TrumpSacrifices: Twitter DESTROYS Trump For Cowardly Attack On Military Family (TWEETS)
ReplyDeleteRepublican 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.
http://addictinginfo.org/2016/07/30/trumpsacrifices-twitter-destroys-trump-for-cowardly-attack-on-military-family-tweets/
As someone has already commented, the Hillary campaign needs to make an ad from Mr. Khan's speech, then get the ABC tape of Traitor Trumps response !!!!
DeleteNot only did Trump attack the father, but he just couldn't help himself and went after the mother.
DeleteI am sure tomorrow he will come up with his usual excuse, I didn't say that blah blah, some one hacked my twitter account oops can't use that one, he said in on ABC.
I am sick to death of the Bernie Bros. Any of them remember President Gore? Well think about what the world - and our country - might be like today without two Bush/Cheney administrations. A President Trump would be a disaster, the man thinks the National Enquirer is a news paper. I'm almost 60. I have no children or grandchildren. For those of you that do, THINK.
ReplyDeleteThese activists aren’t going away. The Democratic Party will contend with them in coming years

Can a delegate inspired by Sanders come around to Clinton?

Some of the Bernie delegates were interviewed on TV after the Democratic Convention and said they will vote for Hillary Clinton.
DeleteThe majority of Bernie supporters are already on board with Hillary. It's that obnoxiously loud minority of them who are continuing to make noise. I think they will fade away by November.
DeleteIn 24 Hours, Donald Trump Insulted A Four-Star General And A War Hero’s Family

Frank AND Maher tried several times to get West to admit that a vote for jill stein is a vote for dumpsterfire. He just refused to yield the conversation and just kept going, and going, and...
ReplyDeleteI will probably steer clear the next time they have him on the show. I mean geezus, Wagner barely got to speak at all.
She is so damned cute!
DeleteThat's Cornel West all over. He never lets anyone else talk. He's also bounced from university to university. I'm sure that faculties and students grow very tired of his behavior very quickly.
DeleteBeaglemom
West, like Palin, is upset that he is now just a bit player. Temper tantrums ( and a lot more intelligence than $arah) are required to keep the cameras on him.
ReplyDeleteTrump has a 30 second attention span, and can hold his erection for about as long.
ReplyDeleteAs long, perhaps, IF he took a Viagra pill! Remember, he's 70 and men have natural problems with erections at that age! He's overweight, probably has high blood pressure and is on medication for it.
DeletePlus, who in the heck is having sexual intercourse with him any more? I'm sure his wife isn't - and, I'll be they have separate bedrooms!
Ageism much?
DeleteMy Dad is 85, overweight, takes heart and blood pressure meds and has no problems in that area according to my Mom.
7:18 if you noticed their body language at the convention right after she lauded him you'd see a lot of space and no real feeling between them. If it's not Melania it's nobody because anyone else would see his weave. And his belly. And his vulgar short fingers...
Delete@anon 10:01pm
DeleteIt's not ageism to point out that many males over 60 cannot achieve erections and your Mom might not know if your Dad is taking anything or not.
O/T I bet that sneaky Hillary broke the elevator so Trump would get stuck in it . Next time they should just leave him there; he is so smart let him figure out how to get out. Better yet, let the elevator crash down to the basement.

Reports: Trump rescued from elevator ahead of Colorado rally
Donald Trump was trapped in an elevator for 30 minutes ahead of a Friday rally before being rescued by Colorado Springs fire department, multiple local news outlets reported Saturday......
.... Within an hour, the Denver Post noted, the GOP presidential nominee was bashing the fire marshal at his rally.
http://www.politico.com/story/2016/07/donald-trump-elevator-colorado-226470
Wonder if he was so scared that he peed his pants during that 30 minute period? Too bad the elevator didn't take him for a quick little ride to the bottom!
DeleteDonald 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!).
ReplyDeleteHe'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!
YES! All that we can. G PoWer Vote HRC on Nov 8th
DeleteI was a campaign volunteer in Alaska years ago, I wish I could return this year.
DeleteI agree, Lisa is no better than Dirty Dan the Carpetbag Man- but can we say at least she didn't appear on stage and speak for Donald Trump?
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.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I am beginning to hear those three little notes from the Twilight Zone every time I read another tweet/speech from Trump.
ReplyDeleteWho in the hell is Cornel West and why should I care about his opinion?
ReplyDeleteO/T The son of the Republican nominee for President - the son who favors killing elephants and leopards over golfing and says he wants to become secretary of the Interior Department (which oversees trophy imports) if his father is elected president -

He'd also get to shoot all the American animals he wants, plus open up all our protected lands to logging and mining.
Delete7:12PM - Google is your friend. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHe does have a point but I hope she never takes advice from a satirist.
ReplyDeleteThe media are all parroting the same thing because they've run out of shit to write. They need to keep this a 'contest' but they're too stupid to see that if Herr Trump wins they either write what he tells them to or they're out of a job.
Do you need a comedy break? I just watched Aussie comedian Jim Jefferies FREEDUMB on Netflix. He talks about the 2nd amendment & Donald Trump among other things.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't have Netflix you can watch it here on YouTube:

We know what to expect from Cornel West now, so I was ready with the mute button and peace reigned in our living room. Maher was lucky to get any guests to come on a panel with West. Those two won't next time.
ReplyDeleteCornel West is only interested in himself. He has whined and criticized President Obama since he became president and probably before that too.
DeleteBeaglemom
From your post: "which is why Hillary has to own all the nasty things the haters say and run as the Notorious H.R.C.”
ReplyDeleteEverybody needs to see this from the Daily Show; Michelle Wolf; Advice for Hillary. She talks about how Hillary needs to reclaim the persona from the "Tweets with Hillary" meme: "That woman is like the Terminator, nobody is going to f*ck with her". LOL. Love it.

Now that the convention is over I'm going back to boycotting Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert, Larry Wilmore, and any other "comedian" that makes nasty personal jokes and egregious false claims about Hillary Clinton. Bill Maher tries to avoid doing that.
ReplyDeleteGoing to stick your head in the sand and ignore any of your candidate's flaws? Sorta like Donald Trump supporters.
Delete9:35 you need to google some adjectives, principally "nasty", "personal", "egregious" and "false". Very Trumpian of you to mouth off without understanding the language.
DeleteTHIS!>"The media should make this the focus of every interview with Trump and senior Trump staff. The Republican Party chairman should urge him to release his returns. The Republican leadership in Congress should insist on it. Every American voter should demand it."

Treading a little too close to the 'we need a grizzly mama' for me.
ReplyDeleteYes, but at least Clinton is in fact tough, strong, and powerful.
DeletePalin's "grizzly mama" persona was phony through and through. She is a terrible "mama" and a chickenshit whiner, quitter, and loser.
