Representative Gabbard,

We were very disappointed to hear that you would resign your position with the DNC so you could endorse Bernie Sanders, a man who has never been a Democrat before. When we met over dinner a couple of years ago I was so impressed by your intellect, your passion, and commitment to getting things done on behalf of the American people. For you to endorse a man who has spent almost 40 years in public office with very few accomplishments, doesn't fall in line with what we previously thought of you. Hillary Clinton will be our party's nominee and you standing on ceremony to support the sinking Bernie Sanders ship is disrespectful to Hillary Clinton. A woman who has spent the vast majority of her life in public service and working on behalf of women, families, and the underserved.

You have called both myself and Michael Kives before about helping your campaign raise money, we no longer trust your judgement so will not be raising money for your campaign.

Glad to see Gabbard finally stick up for herself. Have to admit that I have a soft spot for modern-day iron-fist cut-throats like HRC though, they're kind of a dying breed among all the usual boomer types that just sit in their niche for 50 years, relative to say the New Deal era when basically every prominent politician was a ruthless murderer.

I've seen people over the years try to say HRC is America's Iron Lady but never found it convincing. Iron-fisted types don't cry the victim and play the 'muh sexism' card as much as she does. Thatcher dominated male politicians, HRC doesn't do that. She is cut-throat though, in a slippery snake kinda way.

Thanks for the email I've never actually read it for some reason.

Edit:

...standing on ceremony to support the sinking Bernie Sanders ship is disrespectful to Hillary Clinton.

I don't think she plays the idpol card all that much, except maybe against Trump. At least, not that much relative to candidates like Harris, Booker, Castro, etc. The only recent one that's coming to mind was...



And that basically threw the young, probably-left-leaning interviewer under the racism bus for quick laughs. Completely ruthless. Like, you read the Goldman Sachs transcripts and there's little if any bullshit talk about the importance of diversity and so on, instead she mostly rails against other foreign nations, expresses her desire to send the navy into the South China Sea, and promises old wealthy conservatives that she'll begin enforcing federal marijuana laws again. Or how in that recent interview with Chelsea she basically openly admitted to being pro-TERF. She'll throw out the occasional meaningless "Women are the primary victims of war" line for her audience but it's just window dressing to her vast network of informants, bankroller elites, and power-brokers, unlike Kamala Harris who has nothing beyond her vagina and the occasional forced sassy-black-womyn voice. Between that, her leading the research on Watergate as a fresh college grad, and her open admiration of Kissinger, I think she's someone that seeks power for some kind of grand egotistical legacy, unlike her husband who just wanted money and sex.

lmao that was pretty funny, she kinda roasted that poor man's Maddow interviewer.

I do agree that HRC has a much more grand vision compared to her husband whose presidency resembled some kind of National Lampoon's project, and she's ruthless in a kind of pulling strings behind the scenes way (which Tulsi accurately referred to as "the curtain") but I guess I don't associate that kind of thing with iron-fistedness. She doesn't strike me as a puncher, she cries with her public face and then wields cold ruthless realpolitik in private.

Probably just an issue with me rather than you here? Staying married to a lump of shit like Bill literally just to retain her career's upward trajectory is pretty fucking cold, but at the same time I think an Iron Lady would dump his ass out of principle.

I've soured on Christopher Hitchens a lot over the years but I think a lot of his hatred towards HRC has stayed with me in the form of an unconscious bias. This is still a favourite compilation, and the Bosnia fabrication is one of the funniest examples of HRC playing the victim card. Behind closed doors she accepts millions from patriarchal dictatorships and then steps out and cries about the glass ceiling.

I will always see her as Kissinger-esque, he pulls bloodied strings while projecting a set-upon image to the public. Oh everybody is out to get me, I'm being bullied and so forth.

Pretty sure that one is fake desu, but point taken with the other examples

EDIT: wtf it's actually real? lmao

 

[CiG]

Yeah I looked it up on Hilldawg's Twitter when I saw it on FB lmfao, I was so sure it was fake news but nope.

 

[Einherjar86]

Clinton's been saying some version of this since the '90s, and it's been fact-checked numerous times (inconclusively). It's nothing new.

 

[CiG]

Still funny.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

It's funny the people who respond to your troll posts on a politicians Facebook page. Last night I was told that all whitey fear strong black men and women shut up and learn something. Mind you my FB picture is the Mystery Man from Lost Highway. That was pretty racist, I thought. I hope to keep the conversation going. She seemed lovely.

Transgender activist Jessica Yaniv loses 'wax her balls' complaint against salon workers.

Jessica Yaniv, a Canadian transgender activist, lost a court case she brought against estheticians who refused to wax her male genitalia.



"Human rights legislation does not require a service provider to wax a type of genitals they are not trained for and have not consented to wax," the BC Human Rights Tribunal determined according to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms which represented five of the estheticians.

Yaniv was found to have "engaged in improper conduct" including filing "complaints for improper purposes." The Tribunal said that Yaniv's testimony was both "disingenuous" and "self-serving" along with "evasive and argumentative and contradicted herself."

Jay Cameron, the Justice Centre's Litigation Manager praised the decision, saying, "No woman should be compelled to touch male genitals against her will, irrespective of how the owner of the genitals identifies."

"lost a court case she brought against estheticians who refused to wax her male genitalia"

"No woman should be compelled to touch male genitals against her will, irrespective of how the owner of the genitals identifies."

I mean, sure.

Honestly I would stretch it even further, saying no woman should be compelled to touch ANY genitals against her will, irrespective of how the owner of the genitals identifies, and you know what? Let's do no PERSON and get it out of the way, because touching genitals against ones will is a no-no in general.

So what happens when fewer people get married and, indeed, spend time with the opposite sex? Gender-segregated politics it seems.

I don't think this is the only factor, but it factors.
