Are you a Hillary supporter trying to drive me off?

Note I asked, I didn’t assume and conclude. Do me the same courtesy.

These leaks look suspiciously like an effort to damage Hillary Clinton’s future political prospects.

This crap didn’t recently spring up, the rot at State has been long making.

The entire system is gangrenous, there isn’t a uninfected spot anywhere in government.

Hillary is responsible for what went on during her tenure. I thought she showed her colors when she accepted the State post. Could have used a stalwart humanist in the senate but Hillary wasn’t that and didn’t stay.

RIP, Clintons. I hope.

Did anyone else see Bill’s Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more urging Obama to fling the military into Syria? More death, more ruin, onward, I say!

Anyone else notice that the NSA Chief is in full military regalia? Chalmers Johnson was right.

Beginning to develop some twitches and tics, eh. Good. I have never been able to stand istening to him. I tried, but he is an insufferably pompous windbag, Windy City I call him, and I just can’t do more than a few seconds. That upraised scolding finger. If I were too close, I don’t know that I could resist reaching out and breaking it. He looks like he’s reading chapter and verse to naughty children. What an asshole.

Psychopathic liar. Pathological liars are compulsive and cannot control their lying: they tell ridiculous and self-defeating, even humiliating lies: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pathological+liar and http://www.wikihow.com/Spot-a-Pathological-Liar Obama is a calculating liar, altho I believe there is an element of compulsion in lying to get whatever you want.

I don’t know that Clapper thinks about any of that, at all.

Because lying is not unacceptable. The whole of government DC is a lie.

Closely examined, there was never a quid for the pro quo.

Identity politics.

The left died in the virulent repression of anti-communism. So much so, the socialist parties still functioning at all are just about invisible–and seem happy to remain so. I voted for Stewart Alexander because the Socialist Party USA was the only platform that made sense to me, but it will be a long time before socialism gains any electoral credibility in this country. Its ideas are beginning to show up in some discussions of solutions.

Yeperdoddle.

I foresee the possibility of nullification: “John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!” The possibility of states and states courts implementing and ruling as they see fit and without regard to federal rulings, rules or treaty agreements. It seems to me the only outcome of a bought and debauched system and state governments are no better. Because government has become a dollar free for all, I’m betting states and municipalities feel less and less constrained by “rule of law” conventions. After all, contract law is as good as dead for those with power and/or money. Ask any state worker or teacher whose contract terms have been abrogated.

Oh, I think parts of us are.

So much said, so little researched. MA has been held up as a shining example, but most of what I’ve seen doesn’t support that. There was one guy at DKos who defended the MA system, somervilleguy, I think he is, but he hasn’t done in a few years and at the time he didn’t seem to have actually used his insurance that he thought reasonably priced. I thought Medicare was pretty good until I used it for major med. Still paying off the 20 percent. Of course, my standard of comparison when I thought Medicare was good was no insurance, which was my carrier for 25 or 30 years. So, my initial enthusiasm is understandable.

You borrowed that from Glen Ford at blackagendareport.com It was right on the money.
