1. I read a theory here the other day...

...that maybe there are no transcripts because there was no actual speech. The thought is that maybe she was just given these large sums of money from Goldman Sachs and the story to go with it was that she gave three "speeches" to them in order to get that money. I'm sure there's more to the theory than that, but that was what I took away.

2. Oh that's right I keep forgetting, they just love to give money to candidates lovingly.

I wonder why they haven't given Bernie anything?

What could anyone do for $265,000 for anyone, over the course of an evening? If she wasn't talking or promising I can't imagine what went on. If nothing, then that is a real problem as well. Please explain what you think they paid her for.

Edit I see I missed the sarcasm thingy but I wish Hills buds would explain! : )

...which makes me think it may even be possible. I mean, why wouldn't she just show the transcripts already then? If there's nothing sinister in there. Can you imagine if there were no actual speeches and it was a straight up quid pro quo between her and GS? Now THAT would be fucked up.

Reading the GD: P posts are very intriguing to say the least.

the very fact that people find the satire totally plausible, is an indicator of just how untrustworthy people find her! That is some scarey shit considering TPTB keep pushing her for the GE.




on edit: I shoulda, shoulda, SHOULDA! - went to bed. Now I'm involved in a shouting match with someone that called a politician's kids "little bastards". And feels they are justified doing so cuz the guy is apparently an ass. Good nite, sweet Berners. Sleep well!
