Trump Mocks Wrong Editor As He Gloats Over Vanity Fair’s Hillary Clinton Hit Piece

Hillary Clinton

Earlier this week, I saw this tweet from Vanity Fair that suggested, among other things, Hillary Clinton should “Take up a new hobby in the New Year. Volunteer work, knitting, improv comedy… Literally anything that would keep you from running again.”

Folks were not happy about a woman as accomplished as Clinton being told to “take up knitting.”

In any case, Donald Trump (who has no time for golf or watching Fox News or reading anything the least bit negative about Hillary Clinton) chimed in today on the subject chiding Vanity Fair and somehow invoking the name of Anna Wintour, the editor in chief of Vogue – a completely different publication from Vanity Fair (other than that “V”).

In a statement on Wednesday, Vanity Fair said of the video, “It was an attempt at humor and we regret that it missed the mark.”

Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton Recognized As “Most Admired” For 10th Year In A Row

Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton

For the 16th consecutive year, Hillary Clinton has been named as the most admired woman in America according to Gallup Polling.

Hillary has been honored with the title 22 times. This year she edged out Michelle Obama by just two points.

Barack Obama clinches his 10th title as the most admired man in America in a row ahead of – who else? – Donald Trump.

Trump is the first U.S. president in the poll’s 71-year history not to win most admired man in his first year in the White House.

Yet another thing to drive the Trumpster crazy…

Fox News’ Shepard Smith Explains The Whole “Uranium One” Issue

There are reports today that US Attorney General Jeff Sessions in looking into allegations that Hillary Clinton somehow profited from the sale of Uranium One mining facilities back in 2010.

The short version of the story: She didn’t.

From NBC News:

On the orders of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Justice Department prosecutors have begun asking FBI agents to explain the evidence they found in a now dormant criminal investigation into a controversial uranium deal that critics have linked to Bill and Hillary Clinton, multiple law enforcement officials told NBC News.

At issue is a 2010 transaction in which the Obama Administration allowed the sale of U.S. uranium mining facilities to Russia’s state atomic energy company. Hillary Clinton was secretary of state at the time, and the State Department was one of nine agencies that agreed to approve the deal after finding no threat to U.S. national security.

While Hillary haters have spun the story as “Hillary sold American uranium to Russia” in exchange for Clinton Foundation donations, the truth is Hillary wasn’t involved in the deliberations.

There were nine US departments that oversaw the decision, and the deal was unanimously approved by all nine. The State Department official who took part in the meetings has already stated Hillary didn’t intervene in the issue in any way.

Watch below as Fox News’ Shepard Smith explains the facts of the case. You’ll soon see why this is just another Trump-led attack on Hillary.

Allegation That Hillary “Rigged” Democratic Primary Falls Apart Once You Read The Full Memo

Hillary Clinton

Lots of excitement in Hillary Hater Land this week as it seemed like former Democratic National Committee head Donna Brazile cracked open a “terrible secret” – that the Hillary Clinton campaign had somehow hijacked the DNC for her own purposes before she was even the nominee for the party.

This all came to light as an excerpt from Brazile’s upcoming book was published earlier this week.

Cries of “Rigged!” rang out among “Bernie Bros” and Republicans alike.

“See! She was dishonest. Lock her up!”

Turns out the memo Donna Brazile referenced applied only to the general election. This kind of memo/agreement has been standard operating procedure for the DNC for 15 years.

Here’s part of the memo that no one really took time to read:

“Nothing in this agreement shall be construed to violate the DNC’s obligation of impartiality and neutrality through the Nominating process. All activities performed under this agreement will be focused exclusively on preparations for the General Election and not the Democratic Primary.”

You will note that the entire agreement pertains only to the General Election, not the primary season.

The cash-strapped DNC needed Hillary Clinton’s impressive fundraising powers in 2015. And so, they agreed to give her campaign input on some party hiring and spending decisions but related only to preparations for the general election, not the primary season.

It turns out Bernie Sanders signed the exact same agreement.

So, move along folks. Yet another example of “nothing to see here.”

The full memo can be read here.

Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon shared this on Twitter:

And Brazile backed off the claim:

Hillary Clinton At The Human Rights Campaign National Dinner 2017

What can I say? Hillary Clinton addressed the Human Rights Campaign’s National Dinner in Washington, D.C. last night.

Via Politico:

Clinton took aim at the White House’s efforts to roll back the Affordable Care Act and ban transgender service members, as well as its silence on international LGBT issues, during her remarks at the national dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, an LGBT rights organization.

…”You know and [Trump] knows that transgender people have fought and died for this country,” Clinton said, adding that it was “insulting and wrong” for his administration to suggest transgender troops are unfit to serve.

Trump’s Justice Department has also argued in court that LGBT people are not protected from discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, reversing a legal position trumpeted by the Obama administration. It also voted against a United Nations resolution that condemned use of the death penalty against those who engage in consensual same-sex relationships.

“We cannot rely on this administration or the Supreme Court to uphold LGBT rights,” Clinton said. “We need to be agitating to pass the Equality Act,” she added, referring to proposed legislation that would make housing and workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity illegal.

Clinton touched on many other topics, including the upcoming anti-gay Colorado baker lawsuit coming to SCOTUS: “It is just wrong that in 2017 you can lose your job, lose your home, or, if this administration gets its way, be denied a wedding cake simply because of who you are or who you love,” she said.

There’s much more, but really, hit the play button below.

Please watch. Please. #ShesWithUs

Hillary Clinton On “The Graham Norton Show”

Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton made the trip across the pond to chat with premiere talk show host Graham Norton about her exploits of the past year including the presidential election, attending Trump’s inauguration (which George W. Bush reportedly called “some weird shit”), the catharsis of writing her memoir, What Happened and more.

In this clip, Hillary talks about how she thought about “getting out” of going to Trump’s inauguration as well as her disappointment that the Trumpster didn’t rise to the occasion.

Later, Graham asked Hillary what her thoughts were on Trump’s preference to tweet complex ideas (that’s assuming Trump has complex ideas) to his followers.

Here’s the whole show:

Hillary Clinton Responds To Deadly Las Vegas Shooting

Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton tweeted her thoughts about last night’s deadly shooting in Las Vegas, and expressed her concerns regarding if the shooter had had a silencer.

Las Vegas, we are grieving with you—the victims, those who lost loved ones, the responders, & all affected by this cold-blooded massacre. The crowd fled at the sound of gunshots. Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get. Our grief isn’t enough. We can and must put politics aside, stand up to the NRA, and work together to try to stop this from happening again.

Watching the videos of the event, the only thing that alerted folks that anything was happening was the sound of the rifle popping off shots. If the shooter had a silencer people would have just started dropping with those around them having no clue.

Chilling.
