she sure as hell deserves to be canonized after this POINTLESS hearing...she has shown poise and forbearance, and clear recall of the situation as it happened. Her fierce intellect is front and center, especially as juxtaposed to the knuckle draggers who are trying to make something out of nothing.
I am writing this while I am watching pompous Pompeo trying to trip her up...and failing miserably.

(14,807 posts)as other non ending actions by Conservatives. It does not matter that she has friends in Monsanto, Wall Street or whatever. Some think that will be helpful. Compromises lead to everything moving at a snails pace. The Climate....Wall street...poverty...education....
We need swift action on many things now. It may never happen I fear.

(5,141 posts)Second, I couldnt tell you what happened with such clarity 6 months ago let alone 4 years ago. Thirdly, her calm cool demeanor is something I could only aspire to...but Im a hot-headed Irish chick from the Bronx.
That she has to go over this again....ad nauseum...and has to firmly control the story the GOP is trying desperately to spin without losing her cool is a thing of beauty to behold.
Fuck these assholes. Today were all on Team Hillary.

(58,785 posts)FWIW, some think this'll do her more good than otherwise. She looks dignified and professional compared to her accusers.

(5,141 posts)Ultimately the thing that matters is that the GOP comes out stinking like the putrid shit theyre made of. Anything that calls such clear attention to the fact that they are unscrupulous, partisan AND stupid is a-okay in my book.
Im still SOLIDLY a Bernista, but she was really great today. Well done!

(58,785 posts)Like your flashy Bernie thing, btw. Tammy Duckworth's now back to looking at how Congress was too cheap to supply our foreign personnel adequately. Or cutting the waste as the GOP thinks of it.

(5,141 posts)When she was reading Stevens email about buying fire sale items from the British. That would have been the perfect moment to say we wouldnt be looking for used items to protect our embassy personnel if you stupid FUCK HEADS hadnt decided funding embassy security wasnt as important as killing off womens reproductive rights.
Im so glad Duckworth also focused on how to prevent this in future.

(8,985 posts)how a GOP Congress would have treated a Democrat who was President during 9/11?
We'd STILL be having 9/11 hearings.

(4,234 posts)is helping Hillary's poll numbers I believe, and I can understand why. She's comporting herself extremely well among a bunch of maniacs who bring up every conceivable angle they hope will damage her and then show that they think volume equals intelligence.

(5,141 posts)But DAMN this woman is rockin it. I can be objective; theyre not accomplishing with her what they need to.

(458 posts)HRC is way too eager to go to war. She was a big booster of Obama's decision to join NATO in overthrowing Quaddafi... now the country is in utter chaos... the progressive base keeps getting pushed aside as our Dem leaders persist in military solutions to deep-seated tribal issues and the aftermath of our postwar foreign policy... this has to stop.
