My take on the CP joke ...

Wow. If it wasn't so scripted, I'd be less shocked.

It sure smells like a set up to me so ... , let it die. It's bait meant to put Bernie on the defensive, well, to put us on the defensive... pre debate. So they can control the narrative.

I wondered what dirty trick they were going to roll out. They are truly disgusting..

Thoughts?

They always have been, they always will be. They are narcissists who don't give a shit about AA's, Latino's, white's, women, etc. unless they need them as objects to fulfill their combined ambitions.

The mask slipped in 2008. It has slipped again in 2016.

Bill Clinton's poster child for the failed Welfare 'Reform', 'Workfare' Act of 1996 where she was invited to the signing are used and exploited. After her call for help from the administration following a stroke, Lillie was refused, discarded and then died. The Clintons are what they've always been, albeit disguised- very callous, ambitious and opportunistic.

and was not one bit surprised given what I know about the Clinton Machine.

She was an object to be used and then discarded. They had more important things to get done.

I have been watching the latest season of House of Cards, and it is terrifying how accurate it portrays the Clintons in fictional form.

Is this a New York expression or something? It seems neither offensive nor funny to me. Just totally boring. I don't see any connection to anything. But then again , I'm from PA and have never heard the expression.

A big MEH to this. Ho hum.

A group of poc.

I grew up with similar.

Just tasteless and offensive. Clinton and De Blasio can both have a slice of Miss Millie's shit pie as far as Im concerned.
