peops

that was like a week ago

so this is lip service,nothing more

The cognitive triangulations that one has to do to vote for Hillary are just beyond comprehension...

Bernie voted for the 1994 crime bill.

Pick an issue your candidate is 99% wrong on. Can you find 1% to pin on your opponent to preemptively deflect? DO IT! DO IT NOW!

The problem for the Clintons is that it keeps backfiring. Even this apology - the main thing it will do is bring more focus to the fact the the Clinton white house was responsible for locking up so many people, in case younger voters were unaware of it.

They forget that bills originate in the House and the Senate and have to pass both houses before they wind up in front of the President to be signed into law. This bill passed both Houses with bipartisan support before it arrived on the Bill Clinton's desk to be signed. None of the representatives wanted to face being primaried because they were perceived as 'soft on crime'.

i don't know why he bothes with this.it's not like majority of blacks are upset with clintons.

how many lives and families have been destroyed and NOW he conveniently decides to express some triped up remorse?

and at the naacp meeting?????





be careful, the manure is making things very slippery,......

It seems really heartless to have a bunch of campaign consultants look for a solution to what they see as a political problem for Hillary's campaign rather than as an injustice that destroyed families.
So, they decide to have Bill do a mea culpa to hopefully keep people from talking about Hillary's role. It's just more confirmation to me that people are just abstraction whose only relevance is what they can contribute to the Clinton's ambitions.

" For in 1992, I worked for the Clinton campaign. And though employed in a minor capacity, word filtered down even to me that Bill Clinton intended to put to death a black man, as a way to "dog-whistle" to white racists that he knew how blacks should really be treated.

And so Bill Clinton put to death a black man, so mentally impaired that, when led to the death chamber, he left behind his pie, believing that, after his execution, he would return to consume it. In putting to death this black man, Clinton committed an act that, some 10 years later, the Republican-dominated US Supreme Court would rule occurred in clear violation of the United States Constitution.

No matter. His death helped Bill Clinton become president. That was all that mattered. "

the entire kos entry is worth reading. but i would not recommend it before bed if you plan on sleeping.

nt

is being able to fake it convincingly. I really fear for us.

So it's not necessary to debate it.

Now we'll see how much black lives matter to black lives.

He still needs to address his and Hilly's role in creating the private prison industry, and all the money they have taken from it. I guess that part slipped his mind.

Lots of days late and tens of millions of greedy dollars short.

Political opportunism and the Clintons go together like vegan bacon and scrambled tofu.

I hope they see right through this fake apology.

i.e. Hillary calling her vote for Bush's wars a "mistake".

it's too little too late.

IF he also apologized for welfare reform since that was the second punch thrown at the same families.
Ultimately it doesn't carry a whole lot of meaning since it's Hillary who is running and she hasn't apologized for stumping for those bills. And definitely not for using racially coded language to talk about children as if they were dogs.

The Clintons seem to do that a lot. They are on the wrong side of an issue when it matters and when the political climate has changed, all of a sudden they "evolve" and apologize. Unlike Bernie who stands up under pressure and makes the right decision when it matters, when it isn't politically expedient.
Gutless again. . . .
What I can't understand is why people keep buying this nonsense. A steady 50 year history vs. blowing in the politically convenient winds.

How many Americans know where, oh I don't know. let's say.... Göteborg.. is ?

I think it would endear Hillary to the public a bit more if she just owned up to her past mistakes. "Yeah, I did these things. Sometimes I actually thought they would work out better than they did. Other times I felt pressured by the political system to go along. I'm sorry, but I'm running for President because I've learned from my mistakes. I won't be perfect, but I remember who got me here and will fight to make this awful system a bit better. I won't apologize for playing the game, but I do apologize that the game is so awful."

Certainly seems to be fooling some of the people some of the time...<aarghh>

You're apologizing because your wife is running for president.


JESUS !!!!!!!

He ain't 'slick' at all.
Some people are just too stupid to see through his shit.


The gall. The unmitigated gall of these two people is just beyond belief !!

That would be YUGE!

she supposedly stopped taking their money late last year, as the optics were not good. a cynical rendering would be that she knew she needed support of poc and knew that his would be a huge stinkbomb.

i honestly don't see it as being less of a stinkbomb. it is clear she is refusing the money only temporarily to pander to minority populations who suffered under her husbands draconian presidency

cannot be compensated for by a simple apology.

Any word about an apology regarding UBS, Phil Gramm and Glass Steagall?
