Courtesy of TPM:Secret Service agents walk on stage during Hillary Clinton rally https://t.co/Btp1na4Pxt— ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) August 4, 2016
Animal rights protestors appeared at a Hillary Clinton rally Thursday in Las Vegas, to which she quipped that they should be protesting Donald Trump since "his kids have killed a lot of animals."
As Clinton was discussing her jobs plan, Secret Service agents appeared on stage as a protest broke out. It's unclear if the protesters, apparently belonging to the group "Direct Action Everywhere," tried to rush the stage or whether the agents came onstage as a precaution.
Clinton brushed off the commotion, joking that the demonstrators must have come to protest her Republican opponent.
"These people must be here to protest Trump," she said. "He and his kids have killed a lot of animals."
Here is another angle for those confused about what happened.
You know the Right Wing news outlets have been pushing the narrative that Clinton mistreats her staff and that her Secret Service detail does not like her very much, but they certainly seemed quick to respond the minute that it appears she might be in some kind of danger.
By the way I also could not help but notice that Clinton just stood there holding her ground.
Perhaps she could give Doanld Trump lessons in how to sack up in the face of protesters.
Thank you SS. Please protect her. I guess Kaine would be fine.
ReplyDeleteTrump made this a street fight but he has vastly underestimated Clinton...
ReplyDeleteShe is so cool
ReplyDeleteThank you Hillary for being out there and trying to protect our country from that crazy Donald and his fans. I know you don't have to be there every day talking to people from every walk of life, and having to put up with the erratic behavior of people who got things to say, but you do it. The job you are doing to stand against people who hate you, people like Donald, it's hard, yet you are out there holding your own. Now, that's a leader.
ReplyDeleteExcellent comment!
DeleteShe stands between us and chaos. We have to have her back.
DeleteLike them or not the Secret Service going to protect her or Trump with their lives. I did a few details with the Secret Service when I was canine handler in the military during the Reagan era. They are truly dedicated to their mission irregardless of who they are protecting. Your second paragraph is has no merit what so ever.
ReplyDeleteBut sometimes they're busy tying their shoes and such, The GOP is greasing their palms. Sissy Trump would say he was viciously attacked.........
DeleteAnonymous 2:57 PM wrote: Your second paragraph is has no merit what so ever.
DeleteBy "your second paragraph" I take it that you meant the second paragraph written by Gryphen in the article, the one beginning, "You know the Right Wing news outlets …".
In that paragraph, he reported on what RW news outlets have been saying about Clinton, and then pushed back, writing, "but they certainly seemed quick to respond …".
Are you saying that his pushback "has no merit what so ever"? If so, on what grounds do you make that claim? If not, then what were you trying to convey???
If you don't understand what I was saying, you're not as smart as you believe.
DeleteHillary Clinton is amazing. She made a joke of it which is what the silly protesters deserved. And I'm glad to see the Secret Service doing their job.
ReplyDeleteLet's see the same group storm a Trump rally somewhere. At least there would be some logic to their presence at a Trump rally.
Beaglemom
Silly protesters? You're as bad as any other who doesn't recognize just exactly what protesters have accomplished throughout history.
DeleteI don't care what or who they protest. They are never "silly".
Screw you and your little dog too. Or did you do that already?
Bullshit, 8:52. As in any other human endeavors, protesters and their causes can range from the heroic, to the sublime, to the selfish, stupid, or just plain silly.
DeleteYou claim that no matter what or who they protest, they are never silly?
That is just nonsense. So is your notion that no one is allowed to voice an opinion on any protest anywhere any time. What is a protest but voicing an opinion?
Zimmerman got punched in the face in a Florida restaurant today after bragging about killing Trayvon Martin.
ReplyDeleteGood!
DeleteBest news I've heard all day!
DeleteI hope you hatred makes you sick.
Delete4:31
DeleteYou are a fool. It was Zimmerman's hatred that resulted in the murder of Trayvon. When are your mommy and daddy going to put you in a facility where you can get some help? Your sick mind is mush.
Too bad the other guy didn't have a gun.
DeleteAnon 2:57, I agree. The son of some of our very best friends is a SS agent on Pres Obama's detail and before Pres Obama, Mrs. Bush. Their training is exemplary, extensive and so demanding. Despite all the news about corruption in the SS, I believe they would protect whoever's detail they are assigned with their own lives.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they would. But only AFTER they were done dilly-dallying with the local call girls!
DeleteAnon @ 3:40 Posts like yours are the reason why this blog is pretty much worthless now. You need to in very to Pitman's blog, she has a constant hard on for the Secret Service.
DeleteMadame Secretary the Alpha Diplomat always stood her ground.
ReplyDeleteAnd came back at the protesters with truth.
DeleteRight now Donald Trump wishes he had proof Obama wasn't born in Hawaii.. #anothertrumplie
ReplyDelete"My people are on that" or whatever he said. Gee, Donnie, did you come up zero?
DeleteIs everyone saying "gee" now? What is this, Leave it to Beaver?

DeleteGolly gee whiz, don't diss Leave it to beaver (or my three sons, bewitched, happy days etc). Gilligan's island is up for ridicule though 😁
National poll: Clinton up 15 over Trump
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/clinton-trump-poll-226691
If the election were held today, according to FiveThirtyEight’s forecast, Clinton would have a 92 percent chance of being elected the 45th president.
Here’s the thing, though, Democrats: The election isn’t today. We still have 95 days to go until voters actually cast their ballot in the most important poll of all.
While I tend to think we’ve seen a definite shift in the presidential race over the past week – one that may be long-lasting – Democrats should still work like they’re down by 10 points.
Thinking Trump is now destined to lose would be a mistake, and it would likely breed complacency. In the final stretch of the most important election in our lifetime, that’s exactly what we don’t need.
New voters still need to be registered. Phone calls still need to be made. Doors still need to be knocked.
After all, just a few weeks ago, the race between Clinton and Trump was basically tied. The spray-tanned buffoon was even beating her in some surveys. Many Clinton supporters were about to press the panic button.
Let’s remember that feeling before we kick back in our easy chairs and act like Clinton has it in the bag. Three months is a lifetime in politics, and anything can happen between now and November.
Sure, Democrats have every right to be proud of the convention they put on in Philadelphia. They should also be grateful that Trump is slowly unraveling and showing the country who he has been all along.
But this race isn’t over, and we shouldn’t act like it. Instead, we should remember how it felt a few weeks ago when it looked like Trump was pulling ahead.

MSNBC Just Destroyed Trump’s $400 Million Iran Video Lie With One Word During Speech
ReplyDeleteDonald Trump tried to repeat his lie about the video showing $400 million being shipped to Iran during a speech in Maine, but he was fact checked in real time on screen by MSNBC.
As Trump repeated his lie about seeing a video if $400 million being sent to Iran, here is what MSNBC showed over his remarks:

She should have pictures at her hands with the tRump heirs posing with their endangered animal kills...
ReplyDeleteAnd while the pee pond spews their anger that Hillary mentioned the esteemed sons of Der Fuhrer, I ask again. How is killing a big animal, especially endangered, sheerly for sport considered fun? Did they feel "manly" for doing so? I think it abhorrent.
DeleteForget the oee puddle. They're just now realizing that $arah won't be out on the trail and, of course, it's all Manafort's fault. Riiight.
DeleteNo one pays attention to baby in the corner anymore, so now she's (ghostwriter) moved to Independent Journal Review. LOL
They "kids.". They are adults heavily involved in running his campaign. Fair game.
ReplyDeleteAnd idiots to boot.
DeleteThe first SS agent on stage seemed to be truly caring of Hillary. Very professional but human too.
ReplyDeleteYep, I thought the same thing.
DeleteNice to see after the way she's been treated by the media.
I agree with you Nefer. He look like he had genuine affection for her, staying completely calm and speaking to her in a reassuring way.
DeleteI also noticed that Hillary looked very relieved when he rushed to her side. I think you can see her say thank you. Even though I never saw fear in her eyes I did see relief.
Paging Old Redneck!
ReplyDeleteSome dumb@ss bought it. Looks legit?

Wonder who paid the closing costs and what it actually sold for. I'll bet waaay under.
DeleteIt's listed as "Pending" which means only that someone made an offer on it. No word on whether Palin accepted the offer.
DeleteI bet it's a low ball bid. She's priced way out of the market in that area. We will see.
Delete"Views of Russia Not Included."
DeleteLOL
The difference between a pro and an amateur. The Trump Taj Mahal closed today, over three thousand pink slips created. Can't wait to see the trump name, boarded up windows, graffitti and Hillary doing a speech right in front of the joint.
ReplyDeleteJust re-watched the 2011 WHCD (mentioned on slate) where dumpster got roasted alive. The deliciousness of the burn was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, POTUS can sting like a bee. Sorry to mix similes.
DeleteA quote from Seth Meyers: "Donald Trump has been saying that he will run for President as a republican.. which is surprising since I just assumed he was running as a joke."
DeleteHe's such a shitty businessman too - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/donald-trump-west-side-yards_us_57a3bb42e4b03ba68011deb7?section=&
ReplyDeleteHis YUUUGE Taj Mahal also closed it's doors today.
DeleteHillary Clinton Shuts Down Trump For Not Naming Any Female Cabinet Choices
ReplyDeleteBesides daughter Ivanka, Donald Trump couldn’t name a single woman he was considering for cabinet positions should he – gulp – become president next year.....
..... Well, we have so many different ones to choose. I can tell you everybody would say, “Put Ivanka in, put Ivanka in,” you know that, right? She’s very popular, she’s done very well, and you know Ivanka very well. But there really are so many that are really talented people — like you, you’re so talented, but I don’t know if your viewers know that....
In less than 140 characters, the Clinton campaign was ready with a response.....

I don't know what you are seeing, 8:49, but I see Donald getting ready to charge, like a bull, almost taking the podium with him. (Sometimes we see what we want to see.)
Delete4:01 a.m. is delusional. Trump dodges like a coward, hunches in fear, and turns his back to run for the secret service to protect him. What a fucking pussy.
Delete@anon 4:01am
DeleteLMAO! Yeah, charge to the nearest exit, but what else can you expect from Draft dodger Don.
AS 6:27am says, The Don is a YUUUUGE Pussy.
I know one of the Secret Service guys who worked for the Clintons when they were in the white house the first time. He planned on voting for her in 2008 and will vote for her in 2016. His detail was the first ladies and he worked with several of them, his favorite was Hillary and he loathed Babs and Nancy...
ReplyDeleteThe SS guy who first approaches pats Hillary on the back and reassures her. I have seen Presidents and statesmen in person many times, including in stressful situations, and I'm a political junkie. I have literally NEVER seen that level of personal care from secret service protection.
ReplyDeleteJust another example of how Hillary really does inspire and value loyalty in her staff. All this negative nonsense about her personality is so, so false. It's infuriating. People who know her well universally love her. I don't understand why people can't see that, why they insist on misrepresenting her character.
Brings to mind sissy Trump and the eagle on his desk.
ReplyDeleteDrumpf had the same reaction when he encounter a domesticated eagle.
