....serene on the surface and paddling like hell underneath. Whether we hear frim them publically in the near future or not, they will both be busy.

been a tireless public servant for so long, and that goes for Big Dog as well. I hope they're enjoying the grandkids. Unlike some, I'm not worried about Hillary and Obama keeping a low profile, they've earned a good long rest. This is a chance for new leadership to emerge. Leaders like Barack Hussein Obama, who came out of nowhere to inspire an entire generation. Leaders like Hillary who, despite her loss, has inspired women across the political spectrum to run for office.

I remain hopeful even in the face of the Orange Turd.

had I such extraordinary funds to protect my friends and family.

Just as was the case during the election, I don't care how she looks.

and that, for me, there is even less relevance now.

Or did you mean the radiant-wealthy part?

what would make that any of your fucking business?

You care enough about her appearance to check in and respond to a comment about her appearance by telling us how much you allegedly don't care, qualified by an irrelevant and petulant comment regarding your emotions over the protection she receives.

Seems rather self-validating on your part, but I'm certain you'll allege it is not as it appears.

My opinion is: Like during the election, her appearance has little relevance.

instead of peeing in their cereal.

Thanks. l

I know, you care so little that you have to say it multiple times.

There is the reality that Clinton is a human being. I mean heartbeat and all. She is also respected by a majority of the posters here. Then you add in the fact that losing a major election can throw the losing candidate into depression for years or longer. Clinton is a human and this has been devestating for her. With all of that being common sense why don't you get why we might be happy to see her smiling? Even further, that level of contientiousness has me hoping that you actually like seeing her smile. That's not a bad thing. I want you to smile.

Not that that has anything to do with the Clintons; just an observation in general.

I would prefer to see her determined and active, but, no pressure.

She's a 69 year old woman who just battled through an incredibly grueling campaign to a horrifying conclusion. Give her some time to collect herself and figure out what to do next. I'm having a tough time these days...I can't even imagine what she must be going through.

I have every confidence that Hillary will be back with a vengeance...when she's ready.

However, as an archetype, the "rich white secure" family is rather low on my empathy-list.

Anyhow, thanks for the wake-up. I do hope the Clintons continue to fight against conservative authoritarianism.

Judgemental. Hillary has done more for this nation than you ever will. And judging people by their bank account rather than their deeds and character is just as bigoted as judging people for being poor.

that she look all haggard, sad, depressed, downtrodden, whatever? Wouldn't that just give the a**hole in the WH and his low-class followers one more thing to gloat about?

Neither one of them comes from money. She's worked very hard and given so much of herself in public service. Isn't that what the so-called American dream is supposedly about?

I'm in the same age group as she is and I don't begrudge her the wealth, the happiness, the way she is glowing one bit.

Hillary haters can't stand it that she looks so happy. They're filled with hate and don't understand that someone like Hillary, who has love rather than hate in her heart, is intrinsically happy in a way that is not even imaginable by someone who is drowning in hate.

She doesn't employ the same mindset like the man selected by the electoral college to be president.

them "being low on your empathy-list."

That TOTALLY negates the slam on your OP....

Ss and Medicare are on the chopping block.

If I had her multi- hundreds of millions I might look happy also.

Instead we are stuck with Trump and Ryan

Having been wacked a few times....

Ready to criticize her every time she makes a fucking public appearance?

Amen to that.

Let's hang her high !

Unforgivable, as far as these fascists are concerned.

What a load of shite from these people.

own talents, resourcefulness, willingness to work hard and long, and not by being born to wealthy and indulgent parents.

She gets more done for this country in one day than most do their entire lives.

and has a bunch of bankruptcies along the way. If she looked ailing and sad, the Hillary bashers would be happier and could say "Poor Loser!" I admire the way she's taken this blatant theft. The Clintons, like the Obamas, weren't born with the advantages of the last several Republican presidents. I'll give Reagan credit for his middle class background and the fact that he really could ride a horse.

Never criticized for their far more extensive wealth.

woman?" Not that you mean anything bad or insulting or demeaning by that, of course.

You know, I just ask in a totally non-passive aggressive way.

No pressure...

knew there would be someone wanting to crap on this thread.

Can't stand for her to be happy for one second.

...in the sense that how women look is not relevant to actual policy. This has been a huge issue in this election.

I think you miss the point about why comments on her appearance are not what's important.

Furthermore, I have never been so terrified for my country. It is disconcerting to see her looking so happy and carefree. America is in crisis. This BTW, is not a comment on her physical appearance but rather on the emotion she seems to be conveying.

I suppose she should be dour and anxious 24/7 - because to be otherwise "disconcerts" you.

How dare she have a positive emotion!!!

How so many begrudge and criticize her for wealth while saying nothing about far wealthier male politicians.

When was the last time people here made a comment about John Kerry bring a multi-billionaire? I don't recall that happening. These kinds of comments reveal the double standard that led to the American people (or the EC anyway) rejecting a supremely competent, liberal woman for an malignant narcissist.

We are fundamentally more sexist than even India and Pakistan, both of which have elected female prime ministers.

And most of his net worth is due to marriage anyway.

And how does the fact it comes from his wife make it better?

the State Department? What was she? Chopped liver? Don't think she was worth it, having performed beautifully on a world political and diplomatic scale? After being a successful and popular two-term Senator from a VERY big state - one that might not necessarily have been enthusiastic about her at first until she won them over with a statewide listening tour? After being a First Lady who did a LOT more than just bake cookies and have teas and pose with visiting troupes of Girl Scouts? A woman with a podium who wasn't afraid to use it to advocate for the greater good - not just in Arkansas but in Washington DC, the whole country, and the whole world? By the time she'd left the State Department after one term, she had ALREADY still earned Most Admired Woman in the World honors for about a dozen years in a row!

I wished SO badly that, whenever the inevitable criticism came up about how much she got paid for a speech, somebody somewhere would bother to point out what MEN of her stature were getting paid. I saw one set of figures that showed the top paycheck for a speech was paid to a male peer for 600-and-some-thousand dollars. I think it was either 625- or 650-THOUSAND dollars. By contrast, she got 225- or 250-thousand bucks for the same kind of speech. If I remember correctly, there was a list of five or six highest-paid speakers and what their fees were. All were men. Except for her. And she was at the bottom of this list. WHY did nobody EVER point that out?

And I forgot to add in my long-winded rant just above - I'm old enough to remember when you couldn't pay somebody to say they voted for Nixon. Watergate really pushed him underwater. Nixon voters could NOT be found. And he actually won his elections flat-out, popular vote and Electoral College, both times. You could find a winged unicorn in the flesh before you scrounged up a Nixon voter. NO ONE would admit to it. I bet we'll see the same thing about trump. It could wind up being a question of - before IMPEACHMENT? or after IMPEACHMENT?.

Is their some sort of semiconscious resentment that a woman has more money than some men do.

politicians do.. doesn't mean she doesn't give back.

She's been working all her life to give back and..

That's what the Clinton Foundation does..

A Year in Review: 11 Inspiring Moments from 2016

https://www.clintonfoundation.org/blog/2016/12/22/year-review-11-inspiring-moments-2016

She would have carried us forward from President Obama with grace, passion and integrity. Instead, we live in fear that the unqualified, petulant manchild will bring us to a collision course with disaster after disaster.

I'm not happy about all the negative comments this thread has triggered (though they're to be expected, I guess), but the fact is that Hillary has been and is a worker. I expect that she'll continue to plug away in some capacity, and (I'm not calling for editorial comments here), the Clinton foundation still exists and presumably is still going forward with its good work.

There are some for whom Hillary will never be good enough. I well recall 2008 when a picture that made her look about 120 years old kept getting posted here and a certain faction piled on about her age. (I was called "a (sic) old hag" for supporting her, which I will never forget). Now she's looking whole and healthy and that's not okay either.

GEESH!!!!

To everything that's befelled our nation since Comey, Giuliani, and the Russians conspired their election coup.

I am not saying anything about Clinton, but that is a really gross message to send to people who have legitimate reasons to be concerned about Trump's policies.

Just spit it out, why don't you: you don't like her, and you feel great envy that she and Bill have managed to do well in this world even as they do good in this world.

Inquiring fucking minds want to know

misjudged it on election day.

I love it and will continue to broadcast it, because I'm proud of the campaign she ran and the fact that just about everything she said would happen if tRump was elected has come true. Her only mistake was by how bad tRump has been already. I'd say beyond comprehension.

I love her and Bill Clinton and will enthusiastically support them to my dying day. Great giving people, both of them.

But rich white people laughing and saying "I told you so" is definitely not something that moves me positively.

That is a picture of Hillary with words that some dude on the internet put together. Has nothing to do with HRC the actual person.

And view Comrade Casino's election as validation that the Democrats have "lost their way" by ignoring the plight of the straight white male?

Hillary is not laughing but rather mourning for the nation.

Good for her.

Amazing what some rest and relaxation can do for a person! Glad to see her looking so well!

and focusing on her family and her happiness.

...her looking so well! She had the winning message - Stronger Together - and should be proud. Thank you for listening and fighting, Hillary!



PS: First Families don't have financial worries and she does appear to be Caucasian. No revelations, either!

so does the First Gentleman. I hope they are having a nice post election break.

I miss her now more than ever.

I'm new to posting on the site. Enrolled just before the hacking. Been reading a lot of the comments. I'm just starting to get past the grieving and ready to move forward. I'm am angry but looking forward to doing whatever it takes to get Democrats elected.

I'm glad Hillary is looking radiant. Good for her. She is a hell of a woman! Just because she has money doesn't bother me. She is a woman who has had to deal with so much hatred and vileness from the Republicans and their ilk and has come through like a beacon of hope for the rest of us to pick ourselves up from the Nov 8th tragedy and start to rise to great heights.

Had lunch with an old friend today and we talked about the election and how we felt. I feel like she is still grieving the loss in a big way and is having a hard time dealing with her anger.

Whatever it takes for us to defeat that horrid creature in the WH, let's do it!

Senator from Vermont...who has no party

Context matters.

...http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8586608

All this over a picture of Hillary out on the town.

Amazing.

In dislike for one woman.

But no Democrat has ever won the nomination after losing the GE. I don't recall anyone even seeking the nomination after losing the GE.

HRC is retired. And it is hardly her fault that the FBI repeatedly intervened on behalf of her opponent and constantly lied to the American people.

It is rather remarkable that she had the race won--by a decisive margin--with 11 days to go before the final Comey intervention. It speaks volumes about what a good candidate she was, what a great campaign she ran, and what a fabulous job she did as a Senator and as Secretary of State.

Once in a primary and once in a general.

Just want to clear up someone's alternate facts.

I think we need to decide that as a party, not on your say-so. Many would disagree with you, including this Democrat.

Oh wait what? You mean NOBODY ELSE has made such an announcement? And NOBODY ELSE has had that demand made of them?

What's wrong with this picture?

I get so effing tired of the Special Rules Written Just for Hillary that are purveyed on this board.

Just curious.

It must be very sad to live life as someone who hates HRC so much that they still can't let go of their hate, despite having gotten exactly what they wanted and ensured that she didn't become president.

Enjoy the fact that HRC is not president. Enjoy how sad you imagine she must feel about it. And, most of all, enjoy the corrollary: Trump's presidency. You got exactly what you wanted. And your hate against HRC is hurting you a lot more than it's hurting her. She, I'm sure, has love, not hate in her heart. And love, unlike hate, makes one feel good. It's called karma.

an ironic example of how you are hurt by your hate. It works entirely against your point.

Oh wait. Neither of those things.

You truly have no clue what you are talking about. You say context and don't even know Gore lost a primary and General. Tee it up. Hit it out of the park. That was too easy. Alternative Context is what is being dealt with here.

You dislike her.. that is your issue and the only context required for your comment.
