OT - Speaking of Doublespeak

[George Anthony]

"My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked! My
proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of
the opposition it faced early on, you know. the remnants of prior
situations and mind-sets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby
they may have overlooked the bigger picture, and we didn't do that, and I'm
proud of that. Very proud. I would say that's a major accomplishment."

~Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton

Although it sounds right (pardon the expression).....

Snopes cannot verify it, or the alleged reporter.

I get a flat out "false" from Snopes. Wanna bet we never get a
verifiable source? George never bothers to verify the crap he scrapes up
from the bottom of the far right echo chamber because if he did he wouldn't
have anything to post.

FALSE

In part:

In mid-2014 many web sites began reproducing the quote referenced above,
putatively a response given by Hillary Clinton on 11 March 2014 to a
reporter or interviewer who asked her to identify her major accomplishments
during her time as Secretary of State. Clinton's supposed answer was a
stream of words that conveyed no tangible
accomplishment or anything specific; just a vague doublespeak sense of "We
did things differently than those other guys."

It's doubtful that Hillary Clinton made such a statement, however. None of
the numerous reproductions of this quote we've found on the Internet makes
any mention of whom Hillary Clinton was speaking to when she allegedly said
it or identifies the specifics of the setting in which it was supposedly
uttered. (Where did this event take place? Was it a speech or an interview?
Who asked her the question? What else did Hillary say on that occasion?)

We've also found no record of Clinton's having engaged in any public
appearance or interview on 11 March 2014 during which she might have said
what is attributed to her, nor any news account or transcript that
references such a quote (from that date or at any other time). As well, the
quoted words apparently didn't begin showing up on the Internet until months
after they were supposedly spoken, rather than immediately afterwards.

I received this in an email but I vaguely remember hearing her mumble it.

Could be something I dreamed. I have nightmares about liberals all the
time.

ROFLOL I Love it. Now George is hearing things that never happened.
Pretty soon he'll be able to cut out the middle man and just tell us
straight out what his voices are telling him. Reminds me of a paranoid
schizophrenic I knew. He was getting secret messages from the CIA in his
junk mail. His proof was mailers from the Military Book of the Month Club.

Okay George, you'd better read this post with the lights on, and not within three hours of bedtime!

Imagine this nightmare. The liberals are turning former conservatives into Democrats, using "pods", about like they had in the movie, "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". Pretty soon, there'd be nuthin' but Democrats everywhere one looked, all ready to vote in every new tax conceivable so shiftless bums can have plenty of free stuff...

The Boss Democrat, (an Atheist BTW) decides people who go to church ought to pay a "user fee", of fifty bucks a week for funding a public supported welfare cheat's retirement home down in Florida....

Any church goer who balks at kicking down the $50, would be crab walked away in irons, their guns confiscated, and they'd be sent to nudist reeducation camps for six months, then delivered into forced homosexual marriages..... HawHawHaw!

Now that's just cruel. Here's a more soothing dream for poor old
George. Imagine Trump wins the election:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/01/22/here-are-76-of-donald-trumps-many-campaign-promises/

Some of Trumps promises:

1. Build a wall along the southern border that's taller than the arenas
where Trump holds his rallies, taller than any ladder and one foot taller
than the Great Wall of China. This "artistically beautiful" wall will be
constructed out of hardened concrete, rebar and steel, and it will be "the
greatest wall that you've ever seen" -- so great that the nation will likely
one day name it "The Trump Wall."

2. Make Mexico pay for the wall. If Mexico refuses, then the United States
will impound all remittance payments taken from the wages of illegal
immigrants, cut foreign aid, institute tariffs, cancel visas for Mexican
business leaders and diplomats, and increase fees for visas, border-crossing
cards and port use.

3. "If I become president, we're all going to be saying 'Merry Christmas'
again."

6. Get rid of Obamacare and replace it with something "terrific" that is "so
much better, so much better, so much better."

9. Save Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security without cutting benefits.

11. "I will take care of women, and I have great respect for women. I do
cherish women, and I will take care of women."

His 3 wives are proof of this.

15. Heavily surveil mosques in the United States. Trump has said he's open
to the idea of closing some mosques.

17. Never take a vacation while serving as president.

19. Make medical marijuana widely available to patients, and allow states to
decide if they want to fully legalize pot or not.

23. Strengthen the military so that it's "so big and so strong and so great"
that "nobody's going to mess with us."

24. Be unpredictable. "No one is going to touch us, because I'm so
unpredictable."

25. Allow Russia to deal with the Islamic State in Syria and/or work with
Russian President Vladimir Putin to wipe out shared enemies.

27. Target and kill the relatives of terrorists.

28. Shut down parts of the Internet so that Islamic State terrorists cannot
use it to recruit American children.

29. Bring back waterboarding, which the Obama administration considers
torture. Trump has said he's willing to use interrogation techniques that go
even further than waterboarding. Even if such tactics don't work, "they
deserve it anyway, for what they're doing."

30. Leave troops in Afghanistan because it's such "a mess." Protect Israel.
And increase U.S. military presence in the East and South China Seas.

32. "I promise I will never be in a bicycle race. That I can tell you."
(This promise is connected to criticism of Secretary of State John F. Kerry,
who was injured while riding a bicycle amid the Iran negotiations.)

44. Rather than throw the Chinese president a state dinner, buy him "a
McDonald's hamburger and say we've got to get down to work."

45. Replace "free trade" with "fair trade." Gather together the "smartest
negotiators in the world," assign them each a country and renegotiate all
foreign trade deals.

46. Put billionaire hedge fund manager Carl Icahn in charge of trade
negotiations with China and Japan, and pick an ambassador to Japan who is "a
killer," unlike the current ambassador, Caroline Kennedy.

47. Tell Ford Motor Co.'s president that unless he cancels plans to build a
massive plant in Mexico, the company will face a 35 percent tax on cars
imported back into the United States. Trump is confident he can get this
done before taking office. (Last year he incorrectly said this had already
happened.)

48. Force Nabisco to once again make Oreos in the United States. And bully
Apple into making its "damn computers" and other products here.

49. Impose new taxes on many imports into the country. Numbers thrown around
have included 32 percent, 34 percent and 35 percent.

55. No longer charge income tax to single individuals earning less than
$25,000 per year or couples earning less than $50,000. These people will,
however, be required to file a one-page form with the Internal Revenue
Service that states: "I win."

56. Ensure that Americans can still afford to golf.

60. Use "common sense" to fix the mental health system and prevent mass
shootings. Find ways to arm more of the "good guys" like him who can take
out the "sickos." Get rid of bans on certain types of guns and magazines so
that "good, honest people" can own the guns of their choice.

61. Impose a minimum sentence of five years in federal prison for any
violent felon who commits a crime using a gun, with no chance for parole or
early release.

68. Deport the almost 11 million immigrants illegally living in the United
States.

69. Triple the number of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.

70. Continue to allow lowly paid foreign workers to come to the United
States on temporary works visas because Trump says they are the only ones
who want to pick grapes.

Is Hillary still talking to Eleanor Roosevelt? I wish she had taped
those conversations.

BTW, the big e-mail fiasco? Disemboweling her personal computer to see
what she tried to delete? Subpoenas from the FBI?

Just a normal "security review".

She wiped her computer with a dust rag once but that's not a crime...is it?

Oh yeah! She didn't lie to the relatives of those killed in Benghazi;
their memories are all incorrect.

*I* think she should be shot full of Scopolamine or hooked up to a
polygraph to get the facts.
