Gotta admit, I’m editing her comments here. Well, fair’s fair.

Hillary Clinton: I’m Facing ‘Enormous Pressure’ to Enter 2020 Race — I Want to ‘Retire’ Trump [“…zzzzzzzzz”]
Breitbart | November 12, 2019 | Pam Key

On Tuesday, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton

[and failed 2009 nominee, and presumptive failed 2020 nominee]

told BBC Radio 5 Live she was under “enormous pressure”

[medical quip withheld, causing me enormous pressure]

“to consider a 2020 White House run.”

When asked about her future in politics, Clinton said,

“[zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….. ] . . . I feel a sense of responsibility partly because you know my name was on the ballot, I got more votes, but ended up losing to the current incumbent in the White House who I think is really undermining our democracy in very fundamental ways. [And we don’t have a democracy.]

“And I want to retire him.” [“And I presume you know a euphemism when you hear one.”]

When asked if she is absolutely ruling out a 2020 run, Clinton said, “I, as I say never, never, never say never.

[“Did I just contradict myself four times? Oh well; nothing new there.”]

“I will certainly tell you.

“[But not an American.]

“I’m under enormous pressure from many, many, many people to think about it.

“[And to think about never, never, never saying “many.”]

“But as of this moment, sitting here in this studio talking to you,

“[if that’s what I’m doing,]

“that is absolutely not in my plans.

{Falls off chair.} {Thunk!}

San Francisco’s New DA: Public Urination “Will Not Be Prosecuted”
Daily Caller | November 11, 2019 | Peter Hasson

Chesa Boudin, the urine-and-feces-plagued city’s incoming district attorney, pledged during the campaign not to prosecute public urination and other quality-of-life crimes if he was elected. Boudin declared victory Saturday night after results showed him winning a plurality of votes in the DA race.

“We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes. Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted,” Boudin vowed in response to an American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) questionnaire during the campaign.

“Many of these crimes are still being prosecuted, we have a long way to go to decriminalize poverty and homelessness,” he lamented. . . .

Boudin “was raised in Chicago by Weather Underground leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn” after his parents were sent to prison on murder charges while he was a toddler, NBC News noted.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders cheered Boudin’s victory in the election. “Now is the moment to fundamentally transform our racist and broken criminal justice system by ending mass incarceration, the failed war on drugs and the criminalization of poverty,” the Vermont Sen. wrote on Twitter Saturday, congratulating Boudin on his “historic victory!”

I was all set to jump all over Bernie Sanders for calling our criminal justice system “racist and broken,” but I realized that he is right — just not in the way he thinks it is.

“Double standards” is a contradiction in terms.
They exist, and can be shown to exist.
If this is flatly denied, or admitted with excuses that begin with “but, . . .” is immaterial.

AOC Backs Anti-Cop Protesters Who Jumped Subway Turnstiles in New York
Fox News | 11/02/19 | Adam Shaw

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Saturday gave her backing to a New York City anti-police protest, in which demonstrators jumped subway turnstiles and yelled anti-cop slogans to protest a crackdown on fare evasion and allegations of police brutality.

“Ending mass incarceration means challenging a system that jails the poor to free the rich,” the left-wing freshman congresswoman tweeted, retweeting a video of protesters jumping subway turnstiles in Brooklyn Friday night.

“Arresting people who can’t afford a $2.75 fare makes no one safer and destabilizes our community.”

Surely arresting people who can’t afford $2.75 for two regular sodas when they could get a Big Gulp for less makes no one safer and destabilizes our community.

And arresting people who can’t afford a $2.75 “Green Tax” tacked onto their monthly electric bill or their tankful of gas destabilizes our community, too.

“There never was any party, faction, sect, or cabal whatsoever, in which the most ignorant were not the most violent; for a bee is not a busier animal than a blockhead.”
