As soon as I get my "Paid Hillary Operative Check" in the mail

I thought I would shop for a ball gown for Hillary's alleged "coronation." Anybody have any ideas on style, color, designer etc...? Please keep in my that I am almost 65, will wear my hair in my normal braid down the back and would prefer to wear my New Balance Tennis shoes (ankle support and all that).

I'd post a CW video here, but my comment is risky enough all by itself.

that accompanied that scene.

But I thought that hat was pretty groovy. My favorite of the day, anyway.

from the Clinton Foundation of course, with a confirmation of receipt embedded within Hillary's Bengazi
emails

Heck, you might get to testify before the republicans, since they are not doing much else, however, that might actually be a good thing because everything the republicans touch seems to hurt someone, and this might keep them distracted from doing the least amount of damage

Because there isn't a location large enough to handle all attending. We will throw confetti when Hillary appears on the big screens.

They would go well with the braid & tennies, and add a charming common touch to the scene.

If Bernie makes it, I'm figuring on jeans, a red T shirt, and a Mao hat.

Hopefully the Bernistas will develop a sense of humor. It seems to be ok to trash Hillary but not ok to point out any of Bernie's negatives.

I think that both camps should lower the flames a bit.

I've seen equally virulent trashing of both Bernie and Hillary on here (and their supporters, too, sadly).
