I dont recall defending Dick Cheney, either. We can start a new thread about him if you like, but this one is a little more contemporary

I'm just telling you in the simplest way - that I completely understand how you feel
Using examples is a common way people communicate similar feelings and experiences

So yeah... I get what your feeling

And when I made similar points in the past - that you are making today
I received absolutely no consolation just pictures of crying babies

To me it SHOULD be a big deal because any reasonable person would believe she was trying to create a situation in which she could hide stuff. Also, to me, she has a long history establishing her as a shady character. But it won't be a big deal.

One of the most amazing things to me was seeing polls before this thing even broke where she had a higher "trustworthiness" rating than other potential Presidential candidates. It was like: "You have GOT to be kidding."

But there it was.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Nobody ever said that- much less broached the subject before that turd you just laid - either you're completely confused (don't worry just breathe deeply) or give it up, klam. You don't have to make arguments for argument's sake-

Seriously if you're just trolling with nonsense - good job

WTF? :lol:

You brought up living through kleptocracy. I sarcastically pointed out how progtard it was of you. You defended by suggesting law and order are the province of conservatives and then used the Occupy movement as an example to support your premise. You're suggestion that government is the ruling class (part of the real world definition of kleptocracy) was only half right as the private sector ruling class also benefits from kleptocracy as well.

News flash: Occupy was protesting bankers who manipulated laws and enjoyed regulatory capture to line their own pockets before and after the Great Recession. AKA known as kleptocracy. So again…how progtard of you! :clap:

For a king of smarm and labeling, you sure don't like it much when someone calls your bullshit.

But please, Tman…carry on. :thumb:

Don't get mad because your feeble attempt to be contrarian got blowed up, klam.

Hillary Clinton is a carbon copy of every corruptocrat ever shat out onto society in in places like El Salvador and Nigeria. THAT'S the point, regardless of your attempt at misdirection.

You think I disagree? My only point, which evidently struck a nerve is that you're siding with progtards on this one and you've done nothing to dismiss that.

I'll also remind you that you've labeled Clinton a neo-con before. Kleptocracy is straight out of that playbook.

So again…congrats for agreeing with me. :lol:

If you know you won't be transparent then just keep your trap shut and don't set the expectation. Pretty simple in my opinion.
