The headline reads: Can Mary Mack save Wells Fargo? The banking fraudsters have promoted a woman to handle damage control after getting cought manipulating bank accounts without their customers consent. The next line, Mary Mack "has arguably one of the hardest jobs in finance", reminded me of the press surrounding the appointment of Mary Barra to CEO of General Motors, when it faced similarly terminal public anger. It's no kind of victory for feminism when the glass ceiling is being bypassed for the sexist purpose of installing a female to placate outrage. Who can celebrate a woman finally attaining a pennultimate job level when no man wants it? It was the same for Janet Yellen at the Fed, for Christine LaGarde at the IMF, and doesn't it explain the Election 2016 plans to rescue Capitalism? Ol' Hillary for the U.S. of A.

When Lucid Fails, try Lurid..
First allow me to posit a few noticeable facts. Donald Trump is invested in the National Enquirer supermarket gossip rag. To the point they'll publish any mouth-farts he wants. And he's got some kind of teenage or toddler Persecution Complex. The daily/weekly/whenever they, unlike a real newspaper, decide to publish... is prominently displayed at (just an estimate) every grocery checkout counter in America. Even if you try you can't ignore their bloviation. It's like those damned posters in the novel 1984 with a picture of Big Brother and the eyes having the effect of always looking at you, and the infamous quote Big Brother Is Watching You. And yes, I am capable of visualization when I read. It's a level of literacy that some people don't feel the need to exercise. You know, the ones who trust their leaders to think for them. So you get a blast of Trumpista Propaganda every time you buy groceries. Which has some deep Freudian undertones. 48073
At Colorado Springs UCCS rally protest, Trump critics make his fans look smart.
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO- While protesting Trump's appearance at UCCS, I found myself on the worng side of the shouting match. Trump supporters were yelling "JAIL HILLARY" and their protesters were drowning them out with chants of "USA USA!" WTF. And our side was shouting "America is Already Great" but that's what you'd expect from Colorado Springs white people.
The Hillary Clinton War Machine banner seen by everyone at 2016 DNC but you.
PHILADELPHIA, PA- The second day of protest of the 2016 DNC was expected to dwarf Sunday's impressive turnout, so we hit the Monday rally determined to repeat our photo-op coup of the day before. This time our banner read “HILLARY CLINTON IS THE CANDIDATE OF THE WAR MACHINE” which we knew would ruffle more feathers. We wore costumes, me as American Cowboy Capitalist, my teammate as war victim, in a black burqa, Muslims being both targets and scapegoats of the US War on Islam. Shutters clicked wherever we went, whether our banner was unfurled or not. Professional photographers recorded our names and fellow activists gave us thumbs up and maneuvered to record us on their phones. Some posed beside us, asking companions or strangers to take their selfies. We gave interviews to Time Magazine, the New Yorker, several newspapers, and multiple foreign news outlets. We spoke about the undemocratic character of our party conventions and about Hillary being the establishment warmonger. Having drenched our clothes in Philly's 95 degree weather, we consoled ourselves that we had absolutely nailed the message. 47857
Who wrote Melania Trump’s speech?
Number one, Melania Trump did not plagiarize Michelle Obama, her speechwriter did. And that hack copied from the First Lady's. So one speechwriter plagiarized from another. More probably they cribbed from the same citizenship pledge essay. I'm surprised pundits pretend to differentiate platitudes from longitudes. Has anybody checked to see if Michelle and Melania don’t have the same speechwriter? Or it's a Dr. Carvell, Mr. Matalin dueling personality, we've seen that before. It wouldn’t take a bipolar disorder to support today’s conjoined parties. TWO, in 2016 the Bushes are rooting for the Clintons, even Karl Rove is pitching for the rival team. If bogeyman Trump wins anything, it will be the best bad actor Oscar, up against every black hat that's ever troubled WWWF fans. That no one of stature will take the podium for Trump in Cleveland suggests his polling figures are as much of a hoax as he. Why is no one complaining that election 2016 showrunners are plagiarizing from previous lesser of evils season cliffhangers?
Hillary 2016 as Rosie the Riveter: like we really need another war-machinist.
You've seen meme: Hillary Clinton's face superimposed over Rosie the Riveter, the original image used to boost war production during WWII. It became a feminist icon in the 70s as historic proof women could do the job of men. Reprising the theme for Hillary 2016, Democratic party photoshoppers opted to erase the source of the original poster, as if it wasn't true now more than ever. I restored it. Hillary 2016, brought to you by the WAR PRODUCTION CO-ORDINATING COMMITTEE.
Yellen, Lagarde, Merkel, & May, already give us a taste of women-led injustice.
When Hillary Clinton ascends to the US presidency, she'll join a girls club of world leaders who've already shown that the feminine gender doesn't lack for sociopaths. It may be hard to know whether IMF head Christine Lagarde or FED chair Janet Yellen are mere figureheads or cold-blooded usurers in their own right. The UK's Theresa May hasn't had a chance yet to flex her Thatcherism, but few dispute that Angela Merkel's power is not as authentic as it is heartless. Those Americans campaigning for Hillary Clinton based on the assumption that women leaders could not possibly fail to restore humanity to a capitalist war-ravaged world, are ignoring the maternal instinct already disappointing on the world stage. When the fracking industrialists came to Colorado Springs, they hired a white-haired grandmother to be their liaison to the city council. Predictably her fracking sold like hotcakes, if you'll pardon the sexist analogy. Hillary is the frackers' point-person to the unexploited regions of the world regardless of whether they beckon from war zones to be.
FBI says Hillary Clinton was “careless” with classified secrets, not treasonous for evading public record.
Pundits are decrying the unfair scrutiny on the presumptive successor-in-chief, pointing out that Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell were never called out for using private servers. Other miscreants too, who should have been hauled before the justice department, tarred and feathered and pilloried. Carl Rove and Dubya Bush purged email records. Are they the new role models for what behavior is acceptable?! And all that is missing the point. Hillary's use of a private server for state department emails was more than a security breach, it was an avoidance of keeping a public record. It was evasion of accountability. It was treasonable. Richard Nixon was in touble for erasing 18 minutes of taped conversation in the White House. Hillary has deleted millions of records in flagrant violation of rules of transparency meant to check government corruption. Fortunately Wikileaks snagged a bunch of them, and presumedly the NSA has archived them all, with the entirety of everyone's public and private record. Funny no one is reopening that can of worms.
A Hillary t-shirt says I’M WITH EMPIRE
Why is the New Yorker selling a bright eyed, androgynous Millennial Hillary?
Cheaky Bastards. The New Yorker pulls Sy Hersh, and their covers are establishment all the way. There have been four Trump covers, as many for Hillary, and curiously none for the senator from Vermont. This week's issue touts a resilient confident Hillary, conveyed oddly as a bright eyed baby-faced twenty-something scrapper. Remove the band-aid and her eyes are very wide apart. Inside, the same artist, propagandist recidivist Barry Blitt, rendered an editorial illustration of Bernie Sanders as Icarus falling, semi-naked, essentially the same unbecoming pose he gave coverboy Trump doing a belly flop to crash the GOP.
Hillary may be the presumptive head of the US empire but Trump is its asshole
Billionaire reality TV villain Donald Trump is bringing his presidential candidacy roadshow to Denver JULY 1ST. Like the rhetoric of the Westboro Baptist Church, Trump's utterances don't warrant rebuttal. But unlike the lone Fred Phelps family espousing their gutteral homophobia, The Donald has followers. Some see Trump as an underdog challenging the empire's vetted candidate. Some may be provocateurs staining his campaign with violence. What is certain however is that popular enthusiasm for Trump echoes his hate speech and dumbfuckery. If zenophobic bigotry congeals into a white power movement, that's the specter of fascism that begs a swift preemptive beatdown. Trump can tramp his celebration of brute ignorance wherever he wants, it's a free country, but local communities need not welcome his fan base aping the white thug's antisocial behavior. Friday July 1. Western Conservative Summit, Colorado Conventional Center, Denver. Be there!
I’m pretty sure PRIVILEGE is voting for a warmongering sociopath to feel good about having a first woman president.
Oh, really, so it's "privilege" to support Bernie Sanders because he will take votes away from Hillary and thus enable a Trump presidency? Is it privilege to vote for Trump just for the entertainment value of seeing what the blowhard will do? Who is the only candidate with a direct record of mass murder and banksterism? I'll assert it's wildly privileged to inaugurate Hillary Clinton, just as you did Barack Obama, for the token victory of a first whatever, at the cost of giving the US regime a public mandate for more war and imperialism. Remember how we used to believe the world didn't hate us ordinary Americans, just our fraudulently elected president? Now you want to elect the Bush-est of evils. Privilege is knowing the most formidable military in the world will kill untold thousands of darker-skinned others for the sake of your security.
Press button to hear short speech from Hillary Clinton
It's an old joke that probably makes the rounds every election season.
Insightful photos of Hillary Trump
I've been laughing at this photo for so long now that I'm not certain it is a photoshop mashup. It may be possible that Hillary and the Donald share the same face. Their only difference is gender, maybe. Hillary feminists are counting on their candidate's inherent maternal instinct to subvert her just one of the boys warhawkish temperment. I'm not convinced sociopathology reflects gender. If we want a bonafide benevolent mother, we might start with one that hasn't authored mass infanticide. 46642
Hillary, Trump Hold Historical Meeting
DLA News Service, Denver, Colorado Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, along with Bill and Melania have met privately to discuss the fall election. The meeting was conducted at a closed door meeting on Wall Street late Tuesday evening after sweeping wins by both candidates in Super Tuesday primaries. The candidates have made a tentative agreement, that after their nominations in their respective party conventions, they will suspend this fall's Presidential election. 46500
Don’t miss the big fight: Bernie “Birdie” Sanders versus Hillary the War Hawk!
A Damn clever poster for the 2016 DNC. Forgot to list fight venue. SHOWDOWN IN PHILLY. 46474
Proud to be an American against war, with the exception being this election.
A good friend of mine used to wear this button everywhere. If it wasn't the button, he wore the t-shirt. "Proud to be an American against the war." Tonight he sported a button for BERNIE. Of course he did. We were joking around and he intimated he was not wholly disinclined to favor TRUMP. ME NEITHER, I told him! Trump coud bring down the empire single handed! No need to spark a revolution, Trump would pull a Samson out of sheer egoism! He'd gold plate our drones and they'd be grounded! He'd build a great wall and then we'd have a Great Wall! For tourists of all nationalities! A Great Wall couldn't stop the Huns, even Disney knows that! And reportedly, billionaires are against Trump, so what's the problem? Remember when we'd attend rallies dressed in suits and pretend we were "billionaires" advocating for war or bank bailouts? If billionaires wanted it we were against it. What the One Percent fear, we need! Haha! My friend would prefer Bernie of course, but Trump is definitely his third choice he told me. "Third" I asked? Well, first Bernie, then Hillary naturally, then Trump. OMG WTF.
War criminals occupy a more “special place in Hell” than young women who don’t vote for Hillary
Did you see how Hillary Clinton BEAMED as she accepted Madelyn Albright's endorsement for president? Albright explained there was a "special place in hell" for young women who didn't support women candidates. There are endless good reasons to elect women. Does Albright know any good women? Madelyn Albright is of course a glaring exception to the hypothesis that a world led by woman would end war and injustice. Albright, like Condi Rice, Margaret Thatcher, and Hillary Clinton, is proof that the gender line does not filter for sociopaths. Albright famously declared the death of a half million Iraqi babies to be acceptable collateral damage in the US effort to depose Saddam Hussein. Clinton's murderous tenure has well surpassed Albright's. Both act like they haven't read Dante's guidebook which describes the special place they're going.
Hillary, Bernie, and Elizabeth Warren
I have read often that it was time for our first woman President (Hillary). As a man I would agree with that. But I would also remind the reader that Lizzie Borden was a woman and we know how that worked out for her parents, when she hacked them to pieces with an axe. 45438
If you are not scared by GOP debates you are not drinking enough Koolaid.
After last night's televised Republican candidate debate there followed emails which begin: "if that didn't scare you, consider this", etc. Well, guess what? You're supposed to be scared! You're supposed to worry that any of a lineup of numbskulled fundamentalist zealots will appoint more Justice Scalias to the Supreme Court. You're supposed to worry that a racist hatemonger will lead the nation to unbriddled fascism. You're supposed to be so unsettled at the lowness of America's common denominator that you'll elect ANYONE to divert your handbasket going to Hades. Even, God forbid, that unscrupulous Hillary. 45123
Hillary walks into Chipotle, orders a “burrito bowl.” Haha. How about a soup salad?
The New York Times reported the story about the presidential candidate slumming it with her constituents without any hint that they caught the disconnect. It may not be Bush Senior marvelling curiously at a barcode scanner or Bush Junior referencing the "Internets" but this was clearly Hillary Clinton's first time in a Mexican fast food grill. The choice is beef, chicken, pork or tofu, served in tacos, fajitas, burritos, or bowls. Unless her handlers intervene, Hillary is going to waltz into a Souper-Salad and ask for the soup salad.
April 15: NYC took a bridge, Chicago & Seattle took the streets, Portland took Town Hall, and Denver took the cake
DENVER, COLORADO- Yes, Denver's FIGHT FOR FIFTEEN march kept to the sidewalks. When ISO members (organizing the local "15 NOW" group) pushed the boundaries, SEIU marshals criticized them not just for agitating, but for pushing their socialist agenda. Occupy Denver activists held a prominent banner which referenced reigning minimum wage champion Socialist Alternative. Most of the attendees were union members whose representatives have obviously failed to credit the SA party or Seattle Councilwoman Kshama Sawant for the nation's first $15 minimum wage victory. We fielded questions all evening from marchers eager to know if an SA chapter was brewing in Colorado. 42428
How about a first ANTIWAR president? America will elect a woman before it wants THAT
So we want a first woman president? How about a first anti-Monsanto president. Or a first Antiwar president. Or a first anti-usury president. How about those firsts FIRST? How about the first people-first president FIRST!
Hillary is declaring her candidacy. Are we ready for another white president?
Not that another token Black president would be better. Was it really worth it, having a first Black president, considering he expanded the Neoliberal nonsense instead of curbing it? Why do we now expect a token woman will deliver our hoped-for, bait-and-switched change? Especially from a woman who comes from within the establishment. As with Barack Obama's brief stunt in the Senate, we've had a glimpse of Hillary's record already. It's awful. It's corrupt. Hillary Clinton behaves like she's beyond the law or morality. She's a Neoliberal, Zionist, loan officer for the bankers. I know feminists want a female president. Everyone would like to see a woman in the White House. I don't know any position of authority in which I wouldn't be more confident to see a woman. Maybe even ANY WOMAN except Hillary. How about let's hold a lottery instead of an election. Ladies only. African American women only. Draft Cynthia McKinney 2016.
Hillary launches presidential bid in a duck barrel. Hard choices? Not peace.
It would appear eternal candidate Hillary Clinton has launched her presidential bid into a barrel of ducks. She's titled her campaign bio HARD CHOICES. Let's see... Doing the right thing? Not really a hard choice. Favoring human rights? Not a hard choice. Peace? Social Justice? Humanity? Morality? These are not hard choices. For a warmongering sociopath, ok, impossible. Jailing bankers or war criminals? That should be no choice at all. For an informed public, rejecting another oligarch figurehead, even in the guise of electing a woman president, should not be a hard choice.
