You are witnessing HERSTORY

[LaydeeBug]

She is winning by each and every measure. She has been attacked repeatedly by the right *and* some on the "left" with the same old tired arguments they don't even BOTHER to play with others (Benghazi? <<<---- YAWN) (email? same *exact* thing time and time again with other officials and there *is* no inquest, just a lot of unnamed this unofficial that) and she gets back up every time. She is a leader.

She's going to break the biggest glass ceiling.

And I'm going to help her.

What we are witnessing, whether Bernie's people want to admit it or not, isn't history. It's HERSTORY.

[Codeine]

1. Kicked and recced.

[Hortensis]

62. Yes. We are creating legacy for America to be proud of,

a simple but tremendous advance. One way past time, but it is finally happening and we are doing it.

[riversedge]

2. Yes, she is making HERstory!

[rbrnmw]

3. kick

[glowing]

4. Yes, it's certainly about HER for sure. Lol. All the little people

Would have been so much easier, but for those darned kids, ideals, people wanting Doctors and education and jobs, pesky business, you know. It's HER turn, HER time. And if you don't like it, there's always a hackable electronic vote that may be turned for HER, too.

Ok, I know, I'm not being very nice. For some people, they are ecstatic about a woman winning the White House. I would normally be to, as a woman, however, I'm getting up there in age... By now, my parent s were miles ahead of where I am even at financially, etc, and it worries me to continue down the same old path... And the amount of favors this woman owes to the people who are funding her campaign is astronaumical. And I'm not sure she will make it past her FBI investigations? The Republicans are going to hit her where Bernie never went.

[Herman4747]

45. Excellent post +100! n/t

[LaydeeBug]

61. It's about HER or TRUMP. All us little people will decide between those two. nt

[glowing]

70. Or do as many Independents do, and not show up.

[840high]

79. .that^

[mcar]

5. Big kick!

[LWolf]

6. I've been sick of HER story since I first met her in the 90s. nt

[LaydeeBug]

7. I certainly wish you the best getting over being sick. HERSTORY continues....nt

[LWolf]

8. It's a fatal disease.

Should she get the nomination, she won't be POTUS. If THAT unlikely scenario were to occur, it would mean the first woman president would be so bad there wouldn't be another for a long time...long past my lifetime.

I'll hold out for a great woman to be POTUS.

But thanks for your "concern".

[Fawke Em]

13. Yup. That's why Britain hasn't seen another female PM since Thatcher.

She was that bad.

Sad for women, really.

[LWolf]

15. As a woman, I agree.

It's more than sad.

[Armstead]

22. Fall in line. Stop being a traitor to your gender.

Stop thinking we should try to do better than a candidate past her sell-by date, who represents a Corporate/Wall St. stranglehold that we should have left behind in the 90s.

This is HERSTORY.

Don't you understand? It doesn't matter who the HER is.

[farleftlib]

18. Thatcher - the iron lady

Clinton also thinks she can bomb her way through every conflict. Equally deadly, equally hated.

[Haveadream]

42. If that is truly the reason, then more women, not fewer, need to be promoted

Because what that says, on its face, is that there are so few women in positions of power, that it takes only one to prevent others from being considered. The unequal standard in this metric is astonishing. The murderous regimes of Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Idi Amin and Mussolini, just to name a few in very recent history, have caused no one to stop electing men into positions of power.

The crime here is not Margaret Thatcher but the prejudice by which all women are judged by the actions of a few. That is the very definition of blatant bigotry and it is far uglier and more damaging than the actions of one. The "Margaret Thatcher" response reveals just how far the world needs to go in considering women equally deserving of power. That people do not automatically see that, shows how unconscious and entrenched the prejudice is.

And, that is sad for women and all of humanity. Really.

[Fawke Em]

57. I agree with parts of what you're saying...

I do think more women in politics would be a good thing, but I disagree that Thatcher didn't bring it on herself.

[Haveadream]

72. I am addressing what you said here:

That's why Britain hasn't seen another female PM since Thatcher.

She was that bad.

If that is true, it has nothing to do with Thatcher and everything to do with discrimination against women. You cannot wholesale exclude political consideration of men, blacks, asians, muslims, women, etc, etc, etc on the basis of the actions of one without engaging in rank prejudice. If you are correct in your assessment, we have a huge problem. And one which people like Trump, and according to your analysis, the people of England, are guilty of promoting. I truly hope that is not the case.

[Hortensis]

58. Very revelatory post, fawkem.

[LaydeeBug]

29. Luckily, you're mistaken and there's a cure...a great woman found making HERSTORY

if she gets the nod, she won't be POTUS. <<<-------misdiagnosis right there.

9. FBI Reveals New Details About Its Probe Into Hillary Clinton's Use of Private Email Server

https://news.vice.com/article/fbi-investigation-hillary-clinton-email-server-details

The FBI submitted a classified declaration to a federal court judge late Friday explaining details about the bureau's "pending investigation" into the use of a private email server by Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton. The declaration addresses why the FBI can't publicly release any records about its probe in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed by VICE News.

In a separate public declaration, David Hardy, the chief of the FBI's FOIA office, said there are a number of documents exchanged between the FBI and the State Department relating to the FBI's ongoing investigation of Clinton's use of a private email server, which stored all of the official government emails Clinton sent and received during her tenure as Secretary of State. But the FBI, which consulted with attorneys within its Office of General Counsel "who are providing legal support to the pending investigation," cannot divulge any of them without "adversely affecting" the integrity of its investigation.

(snip)

Earlier this month, the Washington Post cited a senior law enforcement official when it reported that the Department of Justice granted immunity to Bryan Pagliano, a former State Department staffer who worked on Clinton's private email server, "as part of a criminal investigation into the possible mishandling of classified information."

"As the FBI looks to wrap up its investigation in the coming months, agents are likely to want to interview Clinton and her senior aides about the decision to use a private server, how it was set up, and whether any of the participants knew they were sending classified information in emails, current and former officials said," according to the Washington Post report.

(more at link)

To be fair, this is from March 26, 2016. Since then her staff has been interviewed, the hacker has been extradited, and her criminal defense attorney has already been hired in preparation for her FBI interview.

She's already made a name for herself as the first presidential candidate to be under criminal investigation by the FBI while still running for office. I look forward to the excuses her supporters will offer when her indictment is revealed.

[grossproffit]

12. It's a great day! Madam President!

[LaydeeBug]

16. and yet, you pull an outdated article that STILL doesn't prove your point.

but your concern is noted.

[TimPlo]

78. In case you don't know it

But making a prediction on future event is not something you can prove. I know it is hard for someone like you to understand that but what the person you quoted was giving is his best interpretation of the article he posted. Now if he is right or wrong only time will tell. But to ask him to prove something that is going to happen at a future time is not something a rational person would ask for.

[LaydeeBug]

82. That applies to both sides, sweets.

and your concern is noted.

[frylock]

85. The meltdown here when the FBI recommends indictment is going to be HERSTORICAL!

[BillZBubb]

95. Or Hersterical or Hillaryous

Who knows. All joking aside, I have no idea what the FBI will recommend I just hope they make a decision before we have a nominee.

[grossproffit]

10. I'm ecstatic. We're going to help her too.

[Fawke Em]

11. God, I hate that lame word.

I'm a woman and always thought "herstory" was so stupid.

And, I won't be helping her. I hope she gets indicted and leaves the stage.

[LaydeeBug]

19. Too bad. I love it. Buy your *concern* is noted. nt

[Fawke Em]

20. I'm not concerned.

She's corrupt. Period. End of story.

[LaydeeBug]

24. Oh good. But it's funny how you think you can

judge her. End of story, and all. HERSTORY has not ended. And Bernie couldn't beat her.

[Fawke Em]

59. I'm a voter and a (soon to be former) Democrat.

She is running for office.

By those very definitions, yes, I can judge her. That's what an election is: it's judging candidates and casting ballots for those who pass your judgement.

[LaydeeBug]

83. Best to you on your journey. I vote too. nt

[grossproffit]

14. It's sad that we can't have a nice thread about our nominee.

Many of us go out of our way to not comment on many, many threads as to not hurt anyone's feelings. It's sad that we can't even enjoy this moment.

[Fawke Em]

23. There's no crying in politics.

BTW, she's not the nominee, yet.

[LaydeeBug]

25. I am glad you think so, because it's about to *BURN*, and HERSTORY lit the flame

and she's the nominee. You guys just need to grasp at some more straws before the math sinks in

[grossproffit]

35. Nothing to cry about. It's a still a great day.

[joshcryer]

27. 27 days.

[grossproffit]

32. I wish it were sooner, but I can wait.

[frylock]

87. Is that when Director Comey unleashes the indictment fairy?

[joshcryer]

88. That's when the last vote happens.

19 days if we wait for the MSM to call it.

[frylock]

90. The MSM called it over a year ago.

But here we are, with the most qualified candidate in herstory limping to the finish line against an unknown socialist from a small NE state. Did I mention the pending indictment hanging over her head?

[winter is coming]

17. Yes, we know we're witnessing a dated cliche. n/t

[LaydeeBug]

21. Awww, we do, do we? lol nt

[workinclasszero]

26. We are making it happen!

[Punkingal]

28. HERSTORY includes being under investigation by the FBI.

We don't know the ending to that, either. I have a hard time not being interested in how that part of her story will turn out.

[LaydeeBug]

31. Email Scandal Crushed As FBI Finds No Evidence Clinton Broke The Law With Private Email

Sorry to burst your bubble: I just took the first link for good measure

http://www.politicususa.com/2016/05/05/email-scandal-crushed-fbi-finds-evidence-clinton-broke-law-private-email.html

[winter is coming]

37. You know what happens to "crushed" investigations? They end.

The FBI is still investigating, according to James Comey, a named US official who actually knows what's going on with the investigation, unlike the conspicuously unidentified "officials" quoted in your linked article.

[frylock]

91. C'mon, man. This is only taking as long as it has..

because the FBI is carefully crafting an apology letter to Mrs Clinton for inconveniencing her.

[Punkingal]

43. You wish.

[frylock]

89. The FBI doesn't brief "US officials" regarding ongoing investigations.

[BillZBubb]

30. On the emails there is an ongoing FBI investigation.

Do you deny that?

Or are you so deep into the cult you cannot even admit that?

[LaydeeBug]

46. see post #38. nt

[BillZBubb]

51. You can't answer a simple question?

You didn't write post #38. How does that mean anything?

Your OP reads like a cult script. I hope it is satire.

[LaydeeBug]

54. I already answered the question, but it's post #31 nt

[BillZBubb]

68. What's it going to be next time, post #17.

Your link in #31 is bullshit. The FBI investigation is ongoing. They haven't announced what they have or have not found. They are still questioning Hillary's staff members. Ultimately, they'll question her as well. They'll want to get "herstory" on the possible crimes committed.

I know the cult of Hillary has fogged people's minds, but for Pete's sake, the information on the investigation is there for anyone with an functioning brain to find.

[frylock]

94. They've been trying to ignore it for so long..

that when the recommendation comes down, the meltdown here is going to be epic.

[frylock]

92. Post #38 is rubbish.

Director Comey dispelled that nonsense a couple weeks ago.

[mainstreetonce]

33. Can't wait to read

The Nov. Chapter of Herstory


Hill yes!

[Jude the Obscure]

60. The one where she fails to win with only 19% of the GE

Vite? Can't wait for HERSTORY.

[LaydeeBug]

64. 19% in the General? Care to make a friendly wager on that? nt

[SmittynMo]

34. This is too funny

An oligarch that NEEDS your help?

[LaydeeBug]

47. Your labels are astounding. A DEMOCRAT needs my help.

and the choices are Democrat or Republican and I am a lifelong Democrat.

Good luck to you though. Mean it

[Jude the Obscure]

93. A Democrat needs your help.

It aint Clinton.

[My Good Babushka]

36. A feeble neologism and even weaker pun

for people who have no sense for etymology. The word "history"—from the Ancient Greek ἱ????ί?, or historia, meaning "knowledge obtained by inquiry"—is etymologically unrelated to the possessive pronoun "his".

[winter is coming]

38. Which is why I always laugh at people who trot it out as if it were clever. n/t

[LaydeeBug]

48. I am so happy to have provided some laughter in your world

Heaven knows we could always need some more laughter.

[winter is coming]

49. Thank you for doing so in abundance. Think I'll have to bookmark this thread.

It's well on its way to being comedy gold.

[potone]

55. Thank you!

I'm a classicist and a feminist and this false etymology annoys me greatly. I have had to point out its falseness to my students before.

[kcr]

69. It works perfectly fine as a pun.

You're not quite correct about the reasons it doesn't work as a neologism. Herstory isn't a play on a word that's spelled hisstory. It's a phonetic play on the word history. The actual etymology of the word is irrelevant.

[My Good Babushka]

71. how can something not work as a neologism

it's a word, it's new, then it's a neologism.
and it's the worst. It's the kind of word used by practitioners of consumerist feminism, who feel empowered by buying sweatshop produced T-shirts that say "diva" in rhinestones. They probably have "live, laugh, love" plaques somewhere in their house. That's the picture it conjures up in my mind. Un-fucking-tenable people.

[kcr]

74. What do you mean, how can something not work as a neologism?

Things can be incorrect. The word isn't hisstory. You get that, right? That word doesn't even exist for it to have an etymology. It's history. Herstory is a play on the fact that history sounds like his-story. Hisstory. But that word does not actually exist. His story is now her story. It's just a phonetic play on words. Not claiming that it has anything to do with the etymology of the word history.

[My Good Babushka]

76. Herstory

Herstory is the neologism.
It doesn't matter if it's a response to "History" or "HIS story", it's still a neologism.

[kcr]

77. Yes. I think you should drop it. n/t

[Jitter65]

39. Very nicely stated. nt

[closeupready]

40. lol - "herstory". :D

[LaydeeBug]

50. I think the word is *AWESOME* and your concern is noted.

Good luck getting over it. HERSTORY continues....

63. You talking about her LOSS in Oregon?

Just a taste of what she's going to get in California.

We'll see, when it's all over, what this 'story' is. My bets are on an indictment and a contested convention.

[Marr]

65. Yes, it's all about the Queen. We're all just extras in her glorious 'story'.

Think you could make this a little more servile and cultish?

[TheSarcastinator]

66. Correct: HER story, not OUR story

Your OP is exactly right, just not in the way that you think it is.

By the way, villains ALWAYS think it's "their" story. Always.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

67. Maggie Thatcher and Eva Peron mader "Herstory" too.

[farleftlib]

73. Yes they did

And Hillary exactly fits their mold of the hubris nemesis complex.

[SheenaR]

75. Herstory is a pun that

Makes absolutely no sense.

I've never understood the usage. History, from the Greek for obtaining knowledge through inquiry. Herstory is a ridiculous word.

When she campaigns in Nevada and New Mexico, what's next, Herspanics?

If they put a pet snake in the White House, will it have Herssed?

Stupid.

And agree with above. As a woman, this isn't our story.
