Paranoid Drunk Rants About Conspiracies and Wheels Within Wheels
Before getting into this off-her-trolley harridan's rant, let's take a look at her psychological state circa 1994-ish.
Alana Goodman examines the brittle, wounded, ineffably bent psyche of the woman who wants to put her jittery fingers on All the Nukes:Clinton Foundation head Donna Shalala privately expressed concerns about Bill and Hillary Clinton’s mental state in the mid-1990s, saying they had become "paranoid" and fixated on "right-wing conspiracies," according to previously unpublished audio recordings obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. In 1994, four years before Hillary Clinton said a "vast right-wing conspiracy" was trying to take down her husband’s presidency, top aide Shalala said this theory was already embraced by the Clintons. "They’ve become paranoid. Paranoia. Thinking people are out to get them, this right-wing conspiracy stuff," said Shalala, who was the head of Health and Human Services during the August 1994 interview. Shalala was recently appointed president of the Clinton Foundation. The tapes are part of a series of interviews with Hillary Clinton and top aides, conducted by the late Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Haynes Johnson and obtained by the Free Beacon from the Wisconsin Historical Society on the University of Wisconsin campus. ... Aides feared at the time that Hillary Clinton had become "paranoid", "burnt out," and prone to angry outbursts, according to the tapes. "[The Clintons are] feeling sorry for themselves. They talk about [conspiracies] all the time," said Shalala. "That there really is a conspiracy out there to get us. That we don't have a chance, people don’t understand how much good we've done. Our message isn’t getting across because these people are beating us up." ... At a Clinton Global Initiative conference last year, a New York Times reporter said a Clinton press handler trailed her throughout the event, even following her into the restroom. ... "She's a much sadder person than she was when she started this job," Boorstin said in another taped interview. "As she's gotten more sad she’s gotten sharper at times." "She’s always had a very caustic edge to her, but it’s even gotten sharper, that edge," he added. "It's razor sharp now." During the interview, Johnson asked if Clinton ever "flipped out" at the staff. "Yeah, but verbally. It's sad," said Boorstin.You can listen to some of the audio of that at the Free Beacon. Oh, and there's more in Alana Goodman's article, too. Let me relay a story I heard third-hand. The person from who I heard this -- I trust implicitly. I have never known him to lie, and he would, I think, not bother lying to me. (At some point, people stop lying to each other.) However, he himself had this only second-hand. He believed the guy who told it. But I don't know that guy. So I can attest to the honesty of the guy who relayed this, but I have no idea about the guy it actually happened to. 'Round the mid-nineties, the Clintons were being served interrogatories as part of Ken Starr's Independent Counsel investigation into the Whitewater crimes and cover-ups. FBI agents were sometimes used to ferry documents at this time; something would have to be sent to the Clintons, someone from the Bureau (maybe agents assigned to assist in the investigation? I don't know) would deliver the papers to the Clinton. One guy delivered a sheet of questions to Hillary Clinton. Bear in mind, this guy did not know Hillary Clinton, was not a pal of Ken Starr, and had nothing to do with any of this, except serving as a convenient delivery-boy. I'm reconstructing the dialogue for the purposes of storytelling, but this is the gist. The series of two-word replies Hillary gives later is verbatim, however. "Oh," Hillary said with a nasty, sarcastic edge. "More papers for me." "Sure," the FBI agent said. "Just need you to sign that you got them." Hillary signed, and then began paging through the interrogatories. Then she perked her head up. "Would you like the answers now?" Now, the FBI guy wasn't really in a position to take her answers, but he had also been trained to take down any voluntary statement or interviewed offered by pretty much anyone, so he took out his pen and pad. Hillary began reading the questions. "Question one: When did you become aware of the Whitewater development project? Answer: Fuck. You." She leaned into his face to let him know this was indeed personal. But she wasn't done. "Question Two: How many hours of work did you spend on the Whitewater project? Answer: Fuck. You. Question Three: Why did you previously testify you had no knowledge of the Whitewater project? Answer: Fuck. You." At this point, the FBI guy got the basic gist of the interviewee's point, and unclicked his Bic, and walked away, with Hillary still spurting out Fuck. You.'s after him as he walked to his car. So that's the woman we're talking about here: A paranoid, venom-hearted, nasty, unkind-to-"Everyday-Americans," entitled borderline depressive, sexually embittered and sexually vengeful, with a chip on her shoulder the size of Carrie Nation's emotional emptiness and bearing a dark grudge against the American people in general. So, it really should be no surprise that while the bodies of the nine dead in Charleston were just being prepped to have their chests cut open in the Morgue Y for their autopsies, Hillary Clinton decided she would return to her 1995 playbook and blame the shootings on Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh. From Pam Key at Breitbart:
Last night Clinton told host John Ralston, "We have to have a candid national conversation about race, and about discrimination, prejudice, hatred. The people who do this kind of dastardly, horrible act are a very small percentage. But unfortunately public discourse is sometimes hotter and more negative than it should be, which can, in my opinion, trigger people who is less than stable to do something like this." Clinton continued, "I think we have to speak out against it. Like, for example, a recent entry into the Republican presidential campaign said some very inflammatory things about Mexicans. Everybody should stand up and say that’s not acceptable. You know you don’t talk like that on talk radio. You dont talk like that on the kind of political campaigns. I think he is emblematic. So I want people to understand, it’s not just him, it's about everybody. The second thing is guns. Let's just cut to the chase -- it's guns."Check out Allah's piece for a reminder of when the Clintons blamed the OK City bombing on Rush Limbaugh. These people are consistent in their pathologies.

The caustic edge is sharper. I don't want anyone to think I meant mentally sharper--heavens no!--that woman's brain is dull as a pachy's rear end.
Oh, and when I said "pachy" I mean pachyderm--dull as an elephant's ass, I guess I should have said.

"Signs of an alcoholic."
Oh sure. But can be induced by other things.
I've seen a few instances in my life of married individuals who for whatever reason (often kids) stuck with spouses who engaged in repeated and flagrant and practically high-noon-on-Main-Street sexual infidelity.
When the message being conveyed from the person to whom one has pledged one's troth is "My standards aren't high. I'll have sex with nearly ANYONE. Just not you. Yuck," then that really tends to have a wearying, embrittling psychological effect over time.

Yeah, duh. That's how it works. Narratives and all that.
But when Trump said it in a speech, it was funny. I mean he just bashed everyone and every thing -- except himself, of course.

There IS a "vast right-wing conspiracy" out to get the Clintons.
But the operative word there is "vast."
This "conspiracy" is 100-million strong. It includes just about everyone in the nation who isn't drunk on Progressive Kool-Aid.
One imagines a "conspiracy" as a small group of sinister plotters meeting in a dark room illuminated by a single low-wattage bulb hanging a few feet above a rickety wooden table.
But does it count as a "conspiracy" when it involves over half the citizens of a nation, discussing their schemes over barbecues and and frisbee games in the weekend sun?

Well, about half of therm show up to vote. Just as about half of the Kool-Aid drinkers also show up to vote.
If either side voted in their full numbers, they'd easily sweep any national election.
This is actually well-known by campaign strategists on both sides. That's why most campaign efforts are focused on "getting out the vote" of those already on your side, and pay little mind to convincing people to cross the aisle.
Which is exactly why candidates like Jeb Bush are such losing propositions: He's not going to convince anyone to switch parties, while simultaneously failing to inspire the base. He's a lose-lose candidate.

I no longer believe that there are as many as 100 million solid conservatives left in America.
But even with that, for the rapidly shrinking remnant who are properly described as conservative, when was the last time that the Republican Party offered them a Presidential nominee who was openly, proudly, unapologetically and consistently conservative to _motivate_ them to show up to vote?
Consider the record post-Reagan: Bush the Lesser. Bob "Bob Dole" Dole. Bush the Lesser Still. Juan McInsane. The Mittbot 3000.
Pretty picked-over as far as conservative credentials go.
And who can forget Dubya Bush to one of his aides before a CPAC appearance, ordering that all references to "the conservative movement" be removed from the speech which was being written for him to deliver? Telling the aide that he, Dubya, had "redefined the party" away from conservatism.
Yeah, redefined the party into historic lows for voter identification and the massive 2006 and 2008 wipeout losses to the Democrats. Some redefinition there. Great job, Dubya.

Reagan admitted his biggest mistake was making a deal with the democrats on spending and expecting them to live up to the deal.
All of the republican presidents recognized they were president of all the people, and all have tried in one way or another to accommodate the voters who didn't agree with them philosophically or ideologically.
and that is why we are where we are now. That is why the next GOP republican won't fix the problem.
It is a problem that can't be fixed as long as half the people in the country hold a point of view that is politically incompatible with the other half. One side or the other has to lose, and will lose eventually.

If she's shrill with Bernie, while Bernie is just repeating the same left-wing nonsense that rattles around in the brains of the garden-variety lefties that make up the Democrats' lefty base .. well, then what?
She really can't debate. She takes the slightest criticism as an intensely personal attack and goes into harpie mode at the merest disagreement. She's unwilling to defend any part of her record outside of ridiculous generalities. She just wants to call the other side bad actors and then drop the mic and walk off to applause.

Reagan in 1980 versus Carter, addressing the electorate:
"Are you better off today than you were four years ago?"
Of course, this is a double-edged sword. Incompetent Republicans leave their party just as vulnerable to such comparative questions.
Obama in 2008, in the wake of the massive financial bust and huge layoffs that happened on Bush's watch, didn't quote the Reagan line word for word, because that would have scandalized his lefty faithful, but he certainly paraphrased it. And it worked.

It never got much traction. Reagan chose, to purge the federal bureacracy, various hatchet men. Several of them being unvetted loose cannons with big mouths who then ran those mouths in public, and caused considerable political damage.
For example, anyone who remembers reading a big urban newspaper of the era will recall the saturation level coverage of James Watt at Interior constantly firing off ridiculous gaffes in front of the cameras.

I have no doubt I'm in the minority. I look at the majority now inhabiting this country and I want no part of the freak show of ignorance and entitlement.
But the majority of this country is not who elects the president. It's the majority of people who turn out to vote. Obama's scummy Chicago machine along with the media blowing him on a daily basis because of his historic blackness got him across the line. And he has proceeded to be a miserable failure in every facet of his job.
Hillary is an awful, spiteful, hateful witch. And unlike Obama she has a long record of failure that can't be hidden. Her poll numbers have been falling steadily and the campaign hasn't even begun yet. She's not new and shiny, she smells like a used adult diaper. And by the fall of 2016 she will be dust in the wind as the country looks for something better and the Obamabots stay home.

Indeed. And more actual voters have voted for a Democrat than a Republican in 5 of the last presidential elections. You all will expect this to change in 2016, despite the fact that the demographics have gotten worse for you in every election cycle and will continue to do so.
The Republican candidates are going to eat each other alive. That race is a toss up with several serious contenders, each with a real shot at the nomination. Whoever the nominee is is going to emerge beaten after having been assailed by his fellow Republicans for months. Hillary, on the other hand, is running largely unopposed. Sanders isn't going to even dent Hillary's facade. She won't have to spend much money. She won't have to face serious criticism from Sanders. It's going to be another Democratic rout.

You should hope you're wrong. Because if you're right you can expect this country to descend to a place where we won't recover. And you'll be going down with the rest of us.
This is what I don't get about the left. They are so tied to their agenda they don't once look at what it is has brought forth and recoil in horror. No moments of introspection, just blind allegiance to a political and social philosophy that has failed miserably wherever it has been tried.
Hillary Clinton has a record of failure a mile long. Everything she has ever tried has failed. Every job, a failure. She is brazenly corrupt and makes even some elitists cringe with her money grubbing and pretend populism. She is manifestly unprepared to be the leader of the west and the thought of her leading our foreign policy and military should given everyone night sweats.
Yet here is a typical lefty crowing over the dumbing down of America to the point that it will accept this corrupt, vile, incompetent dirt bag as it's leader. Hard to know what is more pathetic, Hillary or the soulless assclowns who support her.

My google says June 2010. And there was no "formal organization" of the TEA Party. Several organizations took that name, but most of them are completely autonomous, and more than a few are (were?) scams.
And the "TX Legislature" comment was a riff on an old meme. The point being that Obama *wasn't* "recently in office" in 2008- what with not being inaugurated yet.

You left out the BEST PART, wherein it was revealed that the whole scandal revolves around flamboyant gay drama queens having drama-queen meltdowns. This is what happens when a city is run by promiscuous West Hollywoods types:
"According to the lawsuit, Duran and Owens met in April 2012 via Grindr, a smartphone dating app for gay and bisexual men. The men had sex the first night they met in person, and Duran offered Owens the council deputy position three months later, the suit states.
In the lawsuit, Owens says Duran made sexual advances or sexually suggestive comments toward him "well over 100 times," and "on average, about once or twice a week."
Duran has acknowledged that he and Owens were sexually intimate and that they met through Grindr. He said they became good friends and that he hired Owens because having a degree in finance and experience in hotel development and real estate made him well-qualified for the job.
In an email to the Times last month, Duran said the sexual harassment claim “is meant deflect attention away from [Owens’] own misconduct.”

Hillary tried to go after Obama's leftie credentials, saying he supported the 2003 Iraq invasion and that he agreed with Republican policies. Well, all that goes out the window against Bernie. She would have to get on the stage and accuse Bernie of being too leftist. Her base doesn't think that "too leftist" is a thing.
Hardest thing she can get away with is to say that Bernie was on the Veterans Affairs Committee all the way leading up to the VA scandal and didn't get anything done. Bernie just says, yeah, well, we need more money and more socialism, problem solved. Lefties applaud. Hillary loses.

Obama has done several public events *as President* visibly high off his ass. Red glassy eyes, wavering physical affect, meandering train of thought, could not construct coherent sentences.
The White House didn't have to "claim some sort of health issue", as they simply ignored the matter in toto. The Democratic operatives with bylines who make up the press corps obviously didn't say a word either. (Though you can imagine the private talk in the bar later on.) Neither did the feeble excuse for an opposition party.

You can listen to Santelli's rant if you want. It's on youtube. And to say the tea party was never a formal organization is being obtuse.

I'm not going to argue with you. I checked on Google and what I could find was all from June 2010. That article says Feb 2009. It could certainly be correct.
However, it does not link the original rant, and was itself written in 2014, so it may be factually incorrect.
Regardless (and why I won't argue the point)- it was certainly not in 2008, and Barky O'Bama was certainly not "recently in office" in 2008.
Of course, I've spent way more time defending my snarky comment- which was really just meant to be snark- than it deserves.

But the simmering anger in the R party about our pols definitely goes back to the earlier Bush years.

The female agent actually ended up in the group I worked with (a good assignment) as a result of some pretty peesistent harrassnent by Bill early in his presidency. She was a rookie at some event on a golf course, and being young and female, drew his attention. She got the transfer for not making it an issue.

They treat Bernie's brand of socialism as warm and soft and fuzzy. Bernie only wants democracy for everybody, right? Bernie doesn't want that other kind of socialism, the kind here a guy with hairy knuckles puts a gun to your head and drags you off to the gulag, right?

I have deep and lasting faith that the American electorate are ultimately going to choose to take the same path as the Greeks trod before them.
With a worse outcome. Because the Greeks will have the likes of the IMF (basically funded by the USA) to slightly pad the impact of national insolvency. There isn't going to be an IMF bailout for the USA. The USA's pool of liabilities is now larger than the total pool of private capital on the planet.

Um, you lost both Houses of Congress by record majorities. It was in all the papers, how did you miss it?
Hillary is already losing her "inevitable" lead in key swing states and the beating hasn't even started. I think you are going to be very surprised as to how many people don't like Hillary.
Hillary is not the pol Obama is. She repels people.

Hence the loss of the House in 2006, despite the now unbelievable economic numbers.
Remember, January 4th 2007: The day Pelosi became Speaker of the Democratically controlled 110th Congress
National unemployment rate for December 2006: 4.5%
2006 Federal Budget Deficit: $247.7 billion
Average GDP growth for 2006: 3.4%
Average price for Regular Unleaded Gasoline December 2006: $2.30
Federal Debt as % of GDP 2006: 64.55
Nonfarm employment in thousands Dec 2006: 137,000
And 12 years of Republican Congress, averaging annual deficits of *DUN DUH* $104 billion
It takes an amazing amount of pissing off to squander that.

Right, but it was in response to... TARP. And to the ideas being floated (by our nominee, in fact) about bailing out people who were underwater in their mortgages.
Yes, it was a few months in to Obamas presidency, but it was in response to Bush's TARP and McCains ridiculous "bail out people who over extended themselves" proposal(s).

On a completely off topic but on my mind, I saw an amazing video by a CJ Pearson on Allen West's site today re: the Golfing Prancercizer. Also saw what Dr. Ben Carson had to say about the mass murder in Charleston. This is what we need in leadership...and how can any dialogue be discussed when it is one sided screeching of fifty years of history vs 2015. How can anyone discuss anything with screeching of Uncle Tom crapola. It is like being diplomatic with terrorists. They will not listen to what you, as a white person, has to say. They also will not listen to what black people like Pearson or Carson have to say, as they label. And I would bet many are simply parroting and fueling their individual anger through any event...whether they have actually been discriminated for their race or even know anyone who has. It is a domino-sparked summer, my flying monkeys. Once Ferguson, now Charleston. And I do and will continue to blame The Won, who fuels the fire. xoxo

Bill could at least engage people without being overtly contemptuous.
Anyone who asks Hillary a question that's not on the approved sheet of approved questions with prepared answers gets a death stare.
Bill really did grow up a poor kid in a hillbilly town. Bill may be as cynical and self-serving as they come, but he has enough real-world flavor to make it work. Hillary can't manage to hide her disdain for ordinary people.

And rather than saying "Whoops, our bad," the GOPe has been doubling down for 8 years.
Oh, and despite that doubling down (which if the SCOAMT weren't a SCOAMT would lead to FDR-like Democrat majorities) they have majorities in both House and Senate.
So we merely loathe the GOPe. Democrats we despise.

Democracies fail when Politicians pander to enough splinter groups, giving them Money from the Public Trust, that they outnumber those who produce.

Well, it's been obvious since day one of Keynesian economic theory that "the long run" was a real problem.
No one has ever addressed that. When Keynes was asked, he said "in the long run, we're all dead."
And that's that.
Oh, and our brilliant fearless leaders aren't even following Keynes stupid economic model which was not supposed to work exclusively on endless deficit spending, and was more of a theory on how to "level out the business cycle" by saving up money during the good times, then injecting that back in to the economy during the bad times. The theory being that lack of liquidity was what caused downturns... so to add liquidity and boost aggregate demand, government would go on spending binges periodically.

Proven anti-troll winning techniques:
1. Dehumanize the troll. To this end, NEVER respond to it directly, or address it personally. Being ignored is deflating and angering to a troll. It derives emotional energy from attention and people turning to face it. Speak ABOUT the troll, but never ever speak TO the troll.
2. Do not let the troll "set the agenda." Trolls exist to change the subject. When you let it do so, you allow it to "win" in the sense of a letting an hysteric ruin a party. Ignore off-topic barbs.
3. Instead, dissect the troll and its motives on a meta-level. Analyze its strategy. Expose its motives. Belittle its techniques. This too is infuriating to the troll.
Trolls leave when they don't get traction, and when they see their attempts only backfire.
This has been known since the early days of the Web. Don't fall for primitive trolling attempts. Move it up a notch, people!

And even that figure can't be trusted, because the debt clock was stopped from ticking months ago. Hard up against the debt ceiling again, at which point the Treasury stop officially accruing and updating the figures.
Of course, they're still borrowing and spending, so when a fix is finally churned out to lift the ceiling again, the debt figures will take another horrible upward lurch as the updates are applied to all of the backlog.
I've noted before that the next President will face a situation where all official metrics used by the federal government have been rendered unfit for purpose. Like trying to fly in fog at night without reliable instruments.

What seems to especially infuriate Hillary is that certain elements of the Secret Service realized early on that acting as procurers and enablers of Bill's womanizing was a career rocket booster for them.
The same devil's bargain that several officers on Bill's protective detail from the Arkansas state troopers had previously accepted.
