Related: About this forumI'm number 791 ! ! !
Although I have avoided posting in the Hillary Clinton group, yesterday I inadvertently responded briefly, politely and factually to a post there. I was admonished for sticking in my nose where I was not wanted and promptly blocked, of course.
But the one place that Hillary is surging is on her DU group's list of blocked members. They're now up to 797 ! ! !
With any luck, they'll hit 800 today!!!
That should be grounds for a great celebration over there, shouldn't it? God knows they are in dire need of a reason to celebrate.
Let us all join in congratulating them on this record-breaking accomplishment and cheer them on to reach ONE THOUSAND blocked DUers in the very near future!

By 1997, the Islamist revolution was failing. There were mass demonstrations against the Islamist groups by thousands of people horrified by the violence. And then, in June of that year, a group of Egyptian Islamists attacked Western tourists at the ruins of Luxor. 58 were killed in three hours of random violence. The massacre shocked the Egyptian people, and the leaders of the revolutionary groups agreed to call a cease-fire. In Algeria, a few groups held out. But they began to tear each other apart, as they followed the logic that had driven their revolution to its ultimateand logicalend: they started to kill each other.
TAMIMI : It led to their own destruction. A group that believes in 100% pure Muslim will not see that purity in anybody else but themselves. So whoever disagrees with them becomes the enemy, becomes out of the House of Islam, and then if they happen to disagree with each other themselves, then they will start liquidating each other. And they keep fighting each other; there will be infighting. Eventually it ends in suicide.
The main Islamist group in Algeria, the GIA, ended up being led by a Mr. Zouabri, a chicken farmer, who killed everyone who disagreed with him. He issued a final communiqué, declaring that the whole of Algerian society should be killed, with the exception of his tiny remaining band of Islamists. They were the only ones who understood the truth.

This also sounds a bit like what has happened after WI:
In May, 1998, bin-Laden and Zawahiri invited a group of journalists to this press conference, where they announced a new jihad. Zawahiri was convinced that it was not their theories that were to blame for the failure; it was the fault of the Muslim masses. Their minds had been corrupted by the liberal ideas from the West. But rather than give up, they believed that the solution was to attack the source of the corruption directly. The new jihad would be against America itself.
change a few words:
In April, 2016, Hillary Clintoni invited a group of journalists to this press conference, where she announced a new strategy. Clinton was convinced that it was not her behaviour and policies that were to blame for the failure; it was the fault of the voters. Their minds had been corrupted by the liberal ideas from Sanders. But rather than give up, she believed that the solution was to attack the source of the corruption directly. The new jihad would be against Sanders himself.

(15,480 posts)I mean the effort it has taken to select, alter, assemble, pack and ship the hundreds and hundreds of different outfits (each and every one with color coordinated earrings and necklaces), over the past year - it just boggles the mind!
Don't get me started on that tacky Jackie Kennedy with her simple triple strand of simulated pearls!
You know the pearls Im talking about. Jacqueline Kennedy was so often photographed wearing those pearls they seemed a natural extension of her an integral piece of her legendary grace and charm. She wore them to state dinners. She wore them on trips to India, Greece, and Japan. She wore them when she greeted the high and mighty and when she was looking after the children. Believe me you know those pearls! But what you may not know is that the pearls were fake. Jacqueline Bouvier purchased them at Bergdorf Goodman in the 1950s for about $35. Yes, the very same Bergdorf's where Hillary has them close off the beauty salon while she gets her $1200 cut & dye job.
Yes, many's the day Hillary has had to change into several outfits and sets of jewelry per day - what with comfy outifts for private jet travel, and then meeting with some common folk and then posh fund-raisers with the elite.
I mean, yeah, we all love to kid around about Hill's "baggage", but seriously, talk about actual baggage! Does she use steamer trunks? Have a separate private plane to transport her wardrobe?
She must have a whole campaign team devoted to the royal wardrobe. Is there a royal steam ironer?
There's a rumor that her loyal followers will be rewarded with an autographed coffee table volume of photos of Hill in all her campaign finery.
It will be YUUUUUUUGE!
