[Monty Python – “Loretta”] (Viewer #147,270)
China is designing a manned deep-sea platform 3000 feet below the South China Sea to help it hunt for minerals.
Impressive, but still not sinking as low as the press in propping up Hillary.
The following is a comment that, I believe was made at MSN and is being spread around the internet. I figured I’d do my part and post it here as well. I do not know who wrote it, so I cannot attribute it properly. I will say I disagree with the requirement of being 50 for remembering any of this, as it’s quite clear in my memory and I am only 37. I’ve done a bit of editing, but the text is as follows:
If you’re under 50 you really need to read this. If you’re over 50, you lived through it, so share it with those under 50. Amazing to me how much I had forgotten!
When Bill Clinton was president, he allowed Hillary to assume authority over a health care reform. Even after threats and intimidation, she couldn’t even get a vote in a democratic controlled congress. This fiasco cost the American taxpayers about $13 million in cost for studies, promotion, and other efforts.
Then President Clinton gave Hillary authority over selecting a female attorney general. Her first two selections were Zoe Baird and Kimba Wood – both were forced to withdraw their names from consideration.
Next she chose Janet Reno – husband Bill described her selection as “my worst mistake.” Some may not remember that Reno made the decision to gas David Koresh and the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco, Texas resulting in dozens of deaths of women and children.
Husband Bill allowed Hillary to make recommendations for the head of the Civil Rights Commission. Lani Guanier was her selection. When a little probing led to the discovery of Ms. Guanier’s radical views, her name had to be withdrawn from consideration.
Apparently a slow learner, husband Bill allowed Hillary to make some more recommendations. She chose former law partners Web Hubbel for the Justice Department, Vince Foster for the White House staff, and William Kennedy for the Treasury Department. Her selections went well: Hubbel went to prison, Foster (presumably) committed suicide, and Kennedy was forced to resign.
Many younger votes will have no knowledge of “Travelgate.” Hillary wanted to award unfettered travel contracts to Clinton friend Harry Thompson – and the White House Travel Office refused to comply. She managed to have them reported to the FBI and fired.
This ruined their reputations, cost them their jobs, and caused a thirty-six month investigation. Only one employee, Billy Dale was charged with a crime, and that of the enormous crime of mixing personal and White House funds. A jury acquitted him of any crime in less than two hours.
Still not convinced of her ineptness, Hillary was allowed to recommend a close Clinton friend, Craig Livingstone, for the position of Director of White House security. When Livingstone was investigated for the improper access of about 900 FBI files of Clinton enemies (Filegate) and the widespread use of drugs by White House staff, suddenly Hillary and the president denied even knowing Livingstone, and of course, denied knowledge of drug use in the White House.
Following this debacle, the FBI closed its White House Liaison Office after more than thirty years of service to seven presidents.
Next, when women started coming forward with allegations of sexual harassment and rape by Bill Clinton, Hillary was put in charge of the scandal defense. Some of her more notable decisions in the debacle were:
• She urged her husband not to settle the Paula Jones lawsuit. After the Starr investigation they settled with Ms. Jones.
• She refused to release the Whitewater documents, which led to the appointment of Ken Starr as Special Prosecutor.
• After $80 million dollars of taxpayer money was spent, Starr’s investigation led to Monica Lewinsky, which led to Bill lying about and later admitting his affairs.
Hillary’s game plan resulted in Bill losing his license to practice law for ‘lying under oath’ to a grand jury and then his subsequent impeachment by the House of Representatives.
Hillary avoided indictment for perjury and obstruction of justice during the Starr investigation by repeating, “I do not recall,” “I have no recollection,” and “I don’t know” a total of 56 times while under oath.
After leaving the White House, Hillary was forced to return an estimated $200,000 in White House furniture, china, and artwork that she had stolen.
Now we are exposed to the destruction of possibly incriminating emails while Hillary was Secretary of State and the “pay to play” schemes of the Clinton Foundation – we have no idea what shoe will fall next.
But to her loyal fans (supporters) – I guess in her own words “what difference does it make?” I guess being a female Democrat is all that matters. By the way, I’d post the same if she were a Republican. You see, she’s already been in the White House, she has a record we can review.
Hillary for prison 2016 would be a good start to help make America safe again.

In Florida, a group of Cuban refugees made it to shore in a homemade raft with “Barack Obama” painted on the side.
Guess their wasn’t room for “guy who resumed diplomatic ties with our oppressors“.
Add your name if you agree: We need a full Supreme Court bench for a functioning democracy. http://ofa.bo/c5uT #DoYourJob
“As historians well know, Rome fell because they were short a judge.”
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
A Democrat Congressman said that the First Amendment doesn’t protect…
“We thought this dumpster fire was going to turn into something else in the general.”
The GOP are realizing too late that the politically courageous thing would also have been the politically smart thing.
Hillary Clinton proves that a woman can do anything as long as she marries a man who did it first and has no principles to hold her back.
The Democrat primary is a thrilling story of someone overcoming all her advantages to eventually beat the underdog.
Has La Raza ever released a formal position on the Trump Grill taco bowls?
“This shattered glass ceiling was brought to you by Goldman Sachs.”
“Let’s elect this rabid squirrel! He’s not beholden to any special interests… other than rabies.”
This is good.
This is fine.
Things could be worse.
The country will most likely survive this.
At least, maybe, the planet.
“Mr. Gorbachev, delete your account!”
Watching Batman: The Animated Series with daughter. She thinks it’s “silly” Batman keeps saving the Joker from dying. Yep.
Noticed in The Animated Series, Batman doesn’t have a Batman voice. He has a Bruce Wayne voice he only uses when in public as Wayne.
There are freedom and liberty solutions to problems… if anyone is still interested in that sort of thing.
Remember when the Democrats rejected Hillary Clinton as old news back in 2008? Good times.
Now we’re to the stage of the election where the Democrats who rejected Hillary as old news in 2008 pretend to be excited about her.
Republicans, on the other hand, are stuck pretending their abhorrent garbage fire looks great in the living room.
The most destructive myth about science is that it is capable of ending debates once and for all.
People keep referring to #NeverTrump as some sort of organized group, but I thought it was just people who think the guy is awful.
Can’t wait to introduce my kids to the favorite show from my childhood, The Simpsons, and then it’s weird to remember it’s still on the air. I was Bart’s age when the show premiered. Now I’m Homer’s age.
Stop offering “thoughts and prayers”! Instead, pretend there’s a magic gun control law that would have stopped this that the NRA is blocking.
Apparently, people are congratulating Trump every time there is an Islamic terrorist attack. Is he the leader of ISIS?
If the idea is gun laws can stop a terrorist attack, does that mean we need stricter gun laws than Paris?
Gun laws can’t stop a terrorist attack. They can’t even stop a gang shooting.
We should have hate crime laws. It should be illegal to love crime.
There is no need for the average citizen to have guns. Only President Trump and his cronies should have guns.
I never thought I’d have to spend so much of life explaining which films are Pixar and which are CGI Disney.
Background checks won’t stop murderers from getting guns. Bans on AR-15s won’t stop mass shootings. You’re not taking this seriously.
Two things left are arguing right now:
1. A man who is basically Hitler could become president
2. Only the government should have guns
You can’t ban “military-style weapons” because you can’t base a law on a made up term with no concrete definition.
If a type of gun is way too lethal for any person to have, then start by banning it from government use.
The world used to be a peaceful utopia, but then guns were invented in the 1960s and have been nothing but trouble since.
There are over 100 million Christians in this country, all with easy access to guns. If you’re honestly scared of Christians, HOLY CRAP!
How about just a ban on assault Muslims?
If you don’t want people to have guns, you’re going to need a lot of guns.
Repealing the 2nd Amndment doesn’t remove the right to bear arms. It just allows the government to use force to oppress that right.
The Bill of Rights doesn’t create rights; it just makes them explicit in hopes our government won’t infringe them.
U.S. could raise revenue with freemium model. Everyone gets to play democracy for free, but you can buy liberty gems to unlock more votes.
“The government should be allowed to make a ‘bad person’ list and if you’re on it you can’t buy a gun. Or vote.” -progressives, maybe
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE: “Let’s see what the Constitution has to say about this.”

PUPPET: “Commerce clause!”
If you believe a “good guy with a gun” stopping violence is a fantasy, disarm the government.
In Kenya, a monkey has been blamed for causing a nationwide blackout after “falling onto a transformer at a power station”.
Ha! In America, it’d take an army of monkeys to do that much damage to our supply of electricity. Or a couple EPA coal regulations.
