Donald, Hillary, and Bill's women


Trump vs Clinton

Aaron Klein . . . "Clinton has sought to portray her campaign as one that is fighting for women’s rights.  On several occasions, she has tweeted about sex assault survivors’ right to be believed, and awkwardly starred in a campaign ad in which she insisted that one must always side with women who accuse men of sexual assault – a strange position given that her husband was repeatedly accused of precisely that crime.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHlt1W83JFU“ 'You have the right to be heard. You have the right to be believed. We’re with you,” Clinton said in the video, which she addressed to “every survivor of sexual assault.”
"Since Hillary first announced her candidacy in April, my weekend talk radio program has become a support center of sorts in which Bill’s female accusers tell their newly relevant stories; a safe-space for these women to sound off about the way they were allegedly treated by both Bill and Hillary. The theme that emerges is of an out-of-control, entitled husband, and a wife who was actively involved in covering up his behavior, many times by allegedly targeting the female victims themselves." . . .
Juanita BroaddrickRape Accuser Juanita Broaddrick to ‘Evil’ Hillary: ‘Shame on you!’ Broaddrick responded: “Aaron, the only thing that I would like to say is I hope that someday these two people, these people that I feel like are so evil, will be brought to justice. … You know, if I can help in that, I will. But these are not good people for America,” she said of Bill and Hillary.
Kathleen WilleyKathleen Willey: Hillary ‘wrote the book on terrorizing women’  . . . "Willey refuses to watch as Hillary’s campaign accuses Republican candidates like Trump of waging a so-called war on women.  In August, Willey announced the launch of a new anti-Hillary website called A Scandal a Day.  A section of the site asks women who may have been sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton to come forward."
gennifer flowersGennifer Flowers: “A joke that she would run on women’s issues”. . . "I accept my responsibility. … But she’s never accepted her responsibility at being an enabler. She’s been an enabler that has encouraged him to go out and do whatever he does with women." ”

"Donald Trump To Hillary Clinton: ‘Be Careful’ When Playing ‘War On Women Card’"  . . . "Trump’s political director, Michael Glassner, seemed to confirm that the Trump campaign will write off the “schlonged” controversy as Clinton playing “politically correct” gender politics, going so far as to reference former President Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinski, according to CBS." . . .

The mainstream media is having a lot of fun reporting that Hillary is this year’s Gallup “Most Admired Woman” for a “record 20th time.”


WaPo: In his escalating attacks on Hillary Clinton this month, Donald Trump has made one thing clear: He's not afraid to go, well, anywhere.  . . . "And we all have to fight fairly, and we have to fight, you know, for the good of the country, for the good of the people, for the good of everybody. But we have to fight fairly, and she's playing the woman's card, and it's like: 'Give me a break.'"

Star Wars: The Liberal Menace

The meltdown of Syria. The rise of ISIS. The worst refugee crisis of our time. Homegrown terror in the United States.

 . . . "And when in London he said, “With my election and the early decisions that we’ve made…you’re starting to see some restoration of America’s standing in the world,” he was touting his departure from Bush-era policy.What Bush wrought he would undo. And he has undone much." . . .
Abe Greenwald  . . . "It is no longer in dispute that the president has been overtaken by events. While he alternately scolds and reassures, ISIS fights on, gaining power and claiming lives.
"But Obama has not been blindsided; he has chosen policies that have emboldened ISIS and has rejected other options at every turn. In fact, his words in Turkey were patently false. Obama doesn’t need an introduction to those who would have done things differently; he knows them well. They include two of his secretaries of defense, his former under secretary of defense, his former secretary of state, his former head of the CIA, his former Army chief of staff, the last commanding general of forces in Iraq, his former ambassador to Syria, his former deputy national-security adviser, and, yes, even his former joint chiefs chairman—among others." . . .
. . . "Unlike the Iraq War, the Syrian horror is entirely a creature of the Obama years. And here we have a much longer record of the ideas Obama rejected, the policies he chose, and the increasingly malignant repercussions of those choices."

Why Humility Is Important To Truth-Telling

The Hayride  "Here’s a fascinating discussion on the topic of modesty, and its relationship to speaking truth, and particularly difficult or controversial truth, in the public sphere.


"Bill Whittle, who jokes that he’s the most modest guy in the world and has the awards to prove it, says that he came about his own humility through 25 years of professional and career struggles – there are few things which can beat modesty into your psyche like having your electricity shut off because you can’t pay the bill.

"But what Whittle says is important to him is that coming about one’s opinions through humility allows one to allow the truth – rather than his own arrogant impositions upon it – to guide one’s thinking. And in that, he’s correct. We see all the time the downfall of people who attempt to define reality through the power of their own will; the real world always has other ideas."


Lets hope Bill Clinton is not like your abuelo

Trump says Bill Clinton has a 'terrible record of women abuse' - and rival Republicans say ex-president is 'fair game' in race for White House . . . "On Sunday and again Monday morning, the billionaire attacked Hillary for Bill Clinton's 'terrible history of women abuse'
" 'If Hillary thinks she can unleash her husband, with his terrible record of women abuse, while playing the women's card on me, she's wrong!' he tweeted on Monday morning. " . . .



Carly Fiorina: 'Bill Clinton's fair game'  . . . "The former secretary of state will play the "woman card," Fiorina said, adding that the way to go after it "is to attack her track record."

"As for the notion that people want to vote for Clinton because she would be the first woman to be president, Fiorina offered her own approach.

“ 'Look, how about an honest woman? How about a competent woman? How about a qualified woman? But I’m never going to ask for people’s support because I’m a woman," she said. "I’m going to ask for their support because I’m the most qualified candidate to beat Hillary Clinton and to do the job."

"She also criticized Trump's past support for liberal policy ideas." . . .
