Gosh, thanks for minimizing the importance of this particular moment in our great ongoing national debate.
I can't wait for the cynics to start making fun of them Lord, Kumbaya
When will our Long National Nightmare be over Lord? Kumbaya
Oh Lord... let's just outlaw religion in the name of freedom and be done with it...
Kumbaya"
Here's Pete Seeger, a victim of the Blacklists of the 1950s, to give us a little sense of history...
I just can't understand why one would endorse Hillary, I mean... If you solely look at the times she has been lying about the email affaire. She either knew what she was doing, or she is not so bright. Either way, she's not fit to be the POTUS.
Enlighten us with the times she has proven to be lying about the e-mails. as far as i can tell even the FBI under a Republican director found no ground to persecute her. If you took away all the candidates ever for the presidency who'd been lying, you wouldn't have had a president in ages.
You gotta be kidding me. There's a difference between thinking why or why not someone should be elected president (or prime minister) or why or why not someone actually is capable of properly governing a country once in office. Now your history, especially our own Dutch recent political history.
On top of that, I think both candidates really need to show honesty and transparency at this stage. That goes for Clinton, but also for Trump. The big advantage for Trump is, that his tax returns are not part of politics....just yet. It makes him an outsider yes, but does that mean he's more good than Clinton when he still refuses to release his tax returns? The difference between a politician destroying people's lives and a private citizen destroying people's life these days seem to be one word: The devil. And that stinks.
I have been in politics myself. Perhaps as an outsider at first. But does that mean politicians are 'corrupt aliens who need to die'? No. That also goes for already established politicians like Geert Wilders.
No problem, here you have it
Or this video:
If you watch that and you still conclude she isn't lying... Based on all this I also can't for the life of me figure out why there is no ground to prosecute.
I agree with you on that. I don't think Trump is a good candidate either. But I'd pick Trump over Hillary if I had to choose.
Also, I'm not a Geert Wilders supporter and I don't think Dutch politics really have anything to do with my previous comment.
I stated a fact, Hillary lied multiple times about the emails. I therefore think she should not be POTUS.
Ooowh I do think it has everything to do with what is happening in the USA. Everything!
First of all, the Dutch example gives you insight in how effective or ineffective governments, consisting of populist parties or populist wings of parties, actually are. And they were, in the case of The Netherlands, failures. Period! The country stood still because of obstructionism in the parliament and internal quarrels within the populist parties. It damaged our country.
In my opinion the late Pim Fortuyn and Geert Wilders are no different from Donald Trump either. Entertaining narcists. In my opinion populists of today also remind me of past American politicians with rather 'dark agenda's'. Think of George Wallace or Joseph McCarthy.
Regarding the lies of Hillary Clinton, you seriously need to see things into perspective and read some books from Carl Bernstein. People compare Hillary Clinton with Richard Nixon these days....and that Hillary's so called lies are worse than the Watergate Scandal. It is pure utter bullocks.
That doesn't mean that Hillary Clinton goes without blame. She as well needs to be more empathic and transparent when she's talking about her email servers. It is fact that she did not do a criminal thing. And journalism should be based on facts, not emotions. But in the current populist sentiment that is ruling the West, one needs to appeal better to the worries of ordinary people.
Still, when we solely talk about who will be more fit and effective as president, then by all means give me Hillary Clinton. She's a bitch yes, but so was Judi Dench as 'M'. So she has the balls, but also the tact to work within the complex boundaries as a president. With Trump my biggest fear is a situation like we saw in The Netherlands.
This video basically.......makes me like Clinton even more than Trump :-):
Interesting to see that the congressman himself is lying too: 'thousands of classified emails" whereas in fact it were 110. Of 30.000 emails on her server.
110 e-mails on 30.000 isn't much, and Clinton said this for a tv camera, not in a hearing. All in all it isn't strange she thought there were no classified emails on that server. If you have any idea how many emails she gets per day you might understand.
Politicians all use private accounts for their work, as their work is 24/7. This I don't condone as beeing good (it is after all the line of work i'm ín and I wish they didn't) but it isn't as bad as you claim it is either. And it certainly sais nothing about if she's fit to be president.
Minister Kamp of your (our) own government has done exactly the same, and that all went down with a 'I'll pay more attention next time'.
Perhaps you should try less biased sources then Trump propaganda.
*High Five*
You can't use your work email when not at work? I mean you should be able to access you're work email 24/7 these days. No reason to fall back on private email.
Minister Kamp was careless as well. But he did not set up a private email server in his basement like Hillary did. In the case of Hillary it to me suggest she has something to hide.
30.000 emails where received by the investigating team. Because large numbers where deleted. By her attorneys... she claims that she doesn't know why they did that...
But still, my comment (about Hillary lying) has nothing to do with Dutch politics. I agree populist parties have failed in The Netherlands. I think Wilders lost al his believability when he did not take responsibility and made cabinet Rutte I fall.
Then was the strange case of Trey Gowdy from South Carolina. Gowdy had numerous hearings over the course of a couple years to try to nail Hillary. Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy said the committee was a joke and the investigation was a scam just to get Hillary. Gowdy and his cronies failed again. She was exonerated. Gowdy is known on Capitol Hill for his cosmetic surgeries, botox jowl treatments and bizzare hiar. Thru one of my NSA contacts, here's what Gowdy's hair is covering up.
A scanda is brewing.
"We're really in a pussy generation," he said. "Everybody's walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren't called racist."
Yeah the good old days Clint when you could be racist and it wasn't called out, such a shame white people can't be like that anymore.
If he doesn't think what has been coming out of Trump's mouth isn't stirring up racial hatred I have to question whether Eastwood knows what a racist is?

I think what he is saying is that the definitions have expanded over time as language policing has become more socially acceptable.
:))
Yep I'm from Florida. Quite some changes. I do find it interesting. I've always been happy that America is a "melting pot."
I love the "edits" within the Gowdy video. It's a classic conservative trick. Ask Shirley Sherrod. Fact is, and this is legal mumbo-jumbo, HRC never received or sent anything marked "classified." In some cases, there a few (out of all those thousands) that were marked "C."* And there is no way of knowing whether or not HRC saw this or recognized it. In the court of public opinion, it's sketchy; but in a court of law, HRC can't be convicted of lying because, for a FACT, nothing was marked "CLASSIFIED."
All that said, I got a big laugh out of Trey Gowdy being called a bulldog. He's more like a Pekingese terrier.
*And we all know what C stands for: "careless." :-)
And I think you're hitting on what is the basic, underlying problem in the U.S. It really comes down to this: for 200 years, you had a segment of society (basically, white, heterosexual, "Christian" males) who ran roughshod over everything; then came the 1960s, and the you know what started to hit the fan. Suddenly, people stood up and said, "No more." Women said it. Minorities said it. Gays said it. The crap that that segment was getting away with was not going to be tolerated anymore. Here we are, fifty years later, and that fight is still being waged. That white segment has been throwing a temper tantrum for decades, because, no, they don't get to shoot and hang blacks for no reason and send them to other parts of the cafeteria. No, they don't get to pinch a woman's ass and gawk at her at work and pay her half what they pay a man. No, they don't get to put up the Ten Commandments on a city courthouse. No, they don't get to start school with a prayer to Jesus. No, they don't get to keep homosexuals from serving in the military. And and and on. The collective whine has grown louder and louder, especially over the past eight years, because they lost the presidency to a BLACK man! (The horror!)
The Tory party isn't right wing enough for him, says it all really.
Telling the Republicans they can't do what they used because it's about common decency seems to be winding them all up a treat.
Why can't I pick on them like I used to it's just not fair.
And this is all based on that one comment from him? :/
So Eastwood does not agree with you, he therefore must he must be ill. That's just so typical.
I really think the problem is human nature, not white, cis, male nature. Removing white males from the equations won't fix the problems with human nature. Its a big waste of time and energy.
You've come to the party a bit late, @Jeffrey. Go back a few months & see what you see...
We must remember that this is a man who held a televised argument with an empty chair at the last Republican convention. I hold a great deal of respect for Eastwood's body of work as an actor & director so I'll not suggest what may be going on w/ him as the aging process takes hold. No, my reticence is not out of the dreaded demon of Political Correctness. It's out of common courtesy, something that seems to be less and less common as Trumpishness fastens its iron grip on our society.
