Yep. 'Fraid so. She'll figure prominently in the history books.

I'm trying to post a photo but IMGUR seems to have changed.

But it doesn't seem to want to work...

I can't get Zippy the Pinhead out of my mind when I see this fellow.

I go straight there! Can't help it.

No kidding.

Seems as though, if there's any finger-pointing, they've aimed it much more at the Pentagon,

not the State Department so much.

They TOTALLY tried to hang Hillary with this. They even said so. Kevin McCarthy flat-out stated, early on, and proudly so, that it was to try to lower her public opinion numbers in advance of her running for President. It was a big enough blunder that he eventually had to withdraw from consideration for Speaker of the House!

I'm watching one of these CONS (Mike Pompeo) complaining about how they were SO OBSTRUCTED!!! WAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!! MAN, that's rich.

CNN's Dana Bash just asked - does this mean "you don't have 'the goods'" in this report (to lambaste Hillary Clinton). And Zippy the Pinhead (OOPS! I mean trey gowdy) kept falling back on "read the report."

But so far, everything I've heard said and dissected and commented about it so far seems to point a far more critical finger at the military. At the Pentagon.

Sounds like Nicolle Wallace isn't far behind her.

Nicolle Wallace, if I remember correctly, was the RNC operative assigned to perform valet and stylist service for palin. Her job was to take little sarah around to Saks Fifth Avenue and Neiman Marcus and buy her some nice clothes to wear for public appearances, to look all credible and businesslike and vice-presidential. Those shopping sprees cost 150-thousand dollars.

Welcome to DU, andrew_house. This has been a thorn in my paw for a long time.

OUR bodies. OUR choice!

NOT some politician - usually a male politician at that.

NOT some priest, minister, ayatollah, or mullah - also male.

NOT some government body that then chooses to cut the services, programs, and supports for women, many of them single moms trying to juggle poor-paying jobs and more than one kid - alone.

If, indeed, they REALLY believe in small government, then the answer is NOT to make sure they can still fit all that government into a woman's vagina.

If, indeed, they REALLY believe in getting the government out of your life, that has to include getting the government out of your bedroom (and out of a woman's vagina!).

NICE collection, n2doc!

I sent that last one to my best friend this morning. We've been laughing about Scotland's tributes to The Donald all weekend (you SPOON)!!!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SO cool to see that the Court went decisively this way - DESPITE all CON efforts to hobble the court by refusing even to hold hearings on that ninth justice nominee! It was DECISIVE.

We STILL got a majority on this, in spite of those bastards in the Senate!

In spite of those bastards in the republi-CON party!!!

And I heard in the coverage this morning that this ruling really gives a punch to the gut of other states' efforts to build on the damage this Texas law did to women to further hobble OUR right to decide what happens to OUR bodies.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
