Here’s your leftover turkey: The case for Hillary Clinton 2020
by Matthew Rozsa
What better way to honor the holiday than with a spiteful argument for yet another Clinton candidacy?
Are you sick of Republicans? Or just right-wingers in general? Do you want to send a message to Washington that you aren’t going to buy into their racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic and classist nonsense for one second longer?
Then do the very thing that Donald Trump unintentionally encouraged in a recent tweet: Encourage Hillary Clinton to run for president in 2020!
I’m sure this is the part where the Clinton-haters — be they Trumpers, Bernie Bros or anything in between — will say something to the effect of, “Of course he wants her to run again. That’s the only way he’ll get re-elected!”
Get out of my head! That is precisely what I and other clear-thinking persons were thinking. After all, that Trump/Russia thingie has worked out so wonderfully, has it not?
The next paragraph is absolutely golden, however. Think: what would be the finest reason for Hillary Clinton to run in 2020?
Slow your roll there. Clinton’s poll numbers aren’t too good right now (OK, they’re downrightatrocious), but there are still four great reasons to consider choosing her as the Democratic nominee in 2020. Even better, all but one of them has to do with an emotion that has no place in this season (which is why I absolutely had to write this article for Thanksgiving weekend): Spite. Delicious, nutritious spite.
But what of the four reasons delineated by author Rozsa?
1. Hillary Clinton is the Winston Churchill to Vladimir Putin’s Adolf Hitler.
I agree with the basic principle of Godwin’s Law: The first person to invoke Hitler in a political debate should normally lose. The exception, of course, has to be when someone has genuine Hitler-like qualities. A foreign despot who has invaded neighboring countries and has a right-wing nationalist agenda is about as Nazi-like as you can get.
Omigosh Rozsa, but what would Jesus do? In your case, that of Leftists, Demorats and the American Media Maggots like yourself, what would Stalin or Guevara or Castro or Chavez or Maduro do — you know, your actual idols?
2. Hillary Clinton being elected president (at last) would monumentally piss off misogynistic trolls, and what’s not to like about that?
I can’t think of a single political figure in recent American history who has been hated as deeply, or for as long, as Hillary Clinton. From the moment she emerged on the national stage in 1992 as a distinctly feminist prospective first lady, she has been the target of right-wing wrath woefully out of proportion to anything she has ever said or done.
Of course. You’re right back at “spite.” Seems to me, Rozsa, you’ve confused both 1 and 2 as separate issues when they’re not.
3. By winning the popular vote convincingly in 2016, Hillary Clinton has earned the right to be considered the presumptive nominee in 2020.
As I wrote in September, Clinton is the first defeated presidential candidate to win the popular vote without being automatically considered a frontrunner in the next election. Two of the previous four popular vote-winning also-rans were actually elected in the subsequent cycle (Andrew Jackson in 1828 and Grover Cleveland in 1892), while two others were widely regarded as frontrunners before dropping out for personal reasons (Samuel Tilden and Al Gore).
My, could that possible be because Hillary Clinton was precisely the wrong candidate for the Demorats to run? Yes, beautiful idea: let’s take the most corrupt, the most craven, the most arrogant, the most hypocritical and unlikable Demorat candidate possible and run them. #BecauseIt’sMyTurn
Here’s where Rozsa proves himself an unparalleled comedian.
4. We can expect her to be a good president.
Frankly, the worst thing that can be said about a potential 2020 Clinton candidacy, especially in America’s current cultural and political climate, is that her husband still hasn’t answered for the numerous sexual abuse accusations against him. While it may seem unfair for Hillary to be held accountable for Bill’s alleged predations, it can plausibly be argued that she played a role in helping him cover them up. If that is ever proved beyond a reasonable doubt, she should be given the heave-ho.
As my poor mother-in-law used to say before she passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2007:
Sometimes people are put on this planet solely as an example of what not to do.
First, for background, see my post here from October 1st. Then watch the video below for visual and aural reference.
Now that we’re all up to speed, here is an article from Breitbart.com:
Report: UC Riverside Student Faces Up to One Year in Jail over Alleged MAGA Hat Theft
by Tom Ciccotta
UC Riverside student Edith Macias has reportedly been charged with one misdemeanor count of grand theft for a September incident in which she allegedly stole a MAGA hat from one of her peers.
At this point I’m certain she’s hyperventilating at the thought. But wait, there’s more.
According to a document provided to The College Fix by the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office, Macias has been charged with one misdemeanor count of grand theft. Her next scheduled court date will take place in March 2018. According to a spokesman for the district attorney’s office, Macias could face up to one year in county jail.
Of course she won’t do a year. Likely she’ll be placed on probation. And the only reason she’ll acquire that is because the entire incident was properly documented by Matthew Vitale.
Note to Conservatives On Campus: the video and photo aspects of your phone can be your best friend in challenging times. Do what every other Leftist does. Record everything. Believe nothing.
“I’m very pleased that the DA decided to charge her, especially because I am skeptical that UCR student conduct did anything. I will be following up with the student conduct office to determine if anything was done,” he said.
Today, this is the best one can achieve considering the circumstances.
Vitale went on to explain that the charges against Macias should serve as a message to college students around the country as to what conduct is acceptable with regards to political discourse.
In my college years, had something like that occurred on campus and Edith stole an item belonging to another student and refused to give it back, her next memory would be that of awakening on the floor with a swollen jaw.
No one would have bartered or negotiated patiently for a return of their property. There would have been immediate consequences for stupid and/or illegal behavior.
Precisely what’s missing today: common sense and obvious consequences in a timely fashion.
That’s called problem-solving at the lowest possible level.

Cases in point. Olbermann objecting to Comey’s firing. I ask: what does an ahistorical German know about the Constitution or Bill of Rights anyway? Particularly in light of the NRA video below.
This is also Keith Olbermann.
My, how your mother must have frequently washed your mouth out with soap.
Then there is this from Olbermann’s “The Resistance” series. As in: “The NRA should be branded a terrorist organization.”
You know. For supporting the Bill of Rights. That terrible document.
Olbermann also said it was “time to end the lies about the Second Amendment” and “time to end refusing to call mass murderers who do not have obvious political motives ‘terrorists.’ ”
Uh, wait. Maybe one should at least give a passing glance to the foundational and historical definition of the word “terror” or “terrorist.”
The unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
Proving that Olbermann is clearly an ignoramus who has no concept of definitions or, dare I say, the meaning of words themselves. He bends them and breaks them into ways they were never meant. For. Political. Purposes.
Who is the real terrorist here, Keith Olbermann, mein Teutonic Fuhrer? You aim your intimidation towards the civilian population for political purposes. Hello? Bueller?
Olbermann was removed, if you recall, from MSNBC in 2011 for, shall we say, a lack of performance. He was replaced by Lawrence O’Donnell, an avowed Socialist. Olbermann was, ahem, polemic to say the least, but still somehow envisioned himself in the mainstream of thought — which he was, but only for the Elitist Left who elbow-rub in various parvenu and jejune DC soirees.
According, therefore, to Herr Olbermann, His Teutonic Self and Leftists, these things are fundamentally true.
Anything conservative is evil;
Anything or anyone advocating conservatism is evil;
Supporting the US Constitution is evil;
Supporting the Bill of Rights is evil;
Supporting the First Amendment is evil;
Supporting the Second Amendment is evil.
You see? Rampant and unmitigated evil which must be immediately shut down.
The American Media Maggots create false memes and stories with regard to Trump and Puerto Rico because they so want it to be true.
Anything to denigrate President Donald Trump.
The Promoted Leftist Meme of the Week is that President Trump hates Puerto Rico and is doing his best to ensure these brown non-Americans receive little if any aid.
I swear to God, I’ll wager you could actually pass that line to the bulk of Leftists, Antifa, American Media Maggots and even a few Demorats. They’d actually bite.
The Leftist Demorat Mayor of San Juan, Carmen Yulin Cruz Soto lied directly to Geraldo Rivera’s face, he himself no massive supporter of the right.
People are not dying in Puerto Rico,
The Death Count was 16 a week ago
and its remains 16 today.

“The mayor’s wrong about that.” Hold the thought. Because here is what the mayor of San Juan alleged, from the GatewayPundit.com:
San Juan Mayor to Liberal Media: We Are Getting No Help From Trump – As She Stands In Front of Pallets of Aid
by Jim Hoft
Just four days ago San Juan, Puerto Rico Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz Soto praised FEMA for the work on the island.
Puerto Rico was devastated by Hurricane Irma and then Hurricane Maria a categaory 5 monster hurricane two weeks later.
Mayor Caren Yuliz Cruz Soto went on a tirade against President Trump on Friday.
San Juan Mayor: “I’m mad as hell because my people’s lives are at stake… We are dying, and you (Trump) are killing us with inefficiency”
The San Juan mayor accused FEMA and President Trump of offering her no help. She said this in front of a pallet of US aid.
In the video below where she criticizes Trump, Mayor Soto is standing in front of pallet after pallet of water and supplies. In a warehouse. Full of supplies.
MSNBC lovingly picked up that ball and ran with it.
After the American Media Maggots piled on to that story, counter-stories began to emerge, many more in number.
There are more videos which, naturally, you won’t see covered by the AMM, such as this one.

SMOKING GUN: San Juan Teamsters Didn’t Show Up for Work to Distribute Relief Supplies – US Aid ROTTING at Ports
by Jim Hoft
The liberal media is pounding President Trum over the suffering in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
The San Juan Mayor slammed President Trump for ignoring the suffering people of Puerto Rico.
Now we know why the people have no aid.
The Teamsters Union drivers did not show up to work.
Only 20% of drivers arrived at the ports to distribute the relief supplies.
Puerto Rican born and raised, Colonel Michael A. Valle (”Torch”), Commander, 101st Air and Space Operations Group, and Director of the Joint Air Component Coordination Element, 1st Air Force, responsible for Hurricane Maria relief efforts, has the following comment:
…They have the generators, water, food, medicine, and fuel on the ground, yet the supplies are not moving across the island as quickly as they’re needed.
“It’s a lack of drivers for the transport trucks, the 18 wheelers. Supplies we have. Trucks we have. There are ships full of supplies, backed up in the ports, waiting to have a vehicle to unload into. However, only 20% of the truck drivers show up to work. These are private citizens in Puerto Rico, paid by companies that are contracted by the government”.. (link)
The union is reportedly not allowing drivers to remove goods from the Port of San Juan.
Imagine. The Port of San Juan was the problem. But wait; there’s more. Additional people chirped up. From DailyCaller.com:
EXCLUSIVE: Fellow Puerto Rico Mayor Rips San Juan Mayor — ‘She’s Not Participating In Any Meetings’
by Alex Pfeiffer and Peter Hasson
The mayor of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico cast serious doubt Saturday on the claims made by San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz, who has repeatedly attacked President Trump and accused him of abandoning Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
Guaynabo’s mayor, Angel Perez, said in an interview with The Daily Caller that his experience with the federal government has been different from Cruz’s, in part because — unlike Cruz — he has been participating in meetings with officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other federal agencies.
You mean cooperation could mean the difference between success and failure? Mayor Soto had to actually do something to further aid? There were meetings? Meetings she really had to attend?
Cruz has repeatedly accused Trump and the federal government of abandoning Puerto Rico. She demanded in a press conference on Friday that Trump do more to help the island, adding that “we are going to see is something close to a genocide” if more is not done.
Mayor Perez told TheDC that the story Cruz is telling the media doesn’t mesh with what he has seen from the federal government.
“My experience is different. I have been participating in different meetings at the headquarters of FEMA and our government and the help is coming in and right now my experience is different from hers. I’m receiving help from the government, we are receiving assistance from FEMA, I got people over here helping us with applications for the people that have damage in their houses. And we have here in Guaynabo, we have thousands of people that lost partially or totally their houses,” said Perez, who is a member of Puerto Rico’s New Progressive Party.
Things then went from bad to worse when this story came out, via GotNews.com:
BREAKING: Puerto Rican Cop Says San Juan Mayor Is Sabotaging Hurricane Response For Political Reasons
San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz is deliberately withholding food and supplies from her hurricane-ravaged city as part of a publicity stunt, according to a bombshell video currently circulating across the internet.
The video features a panicked female voice who identifies herself as a police officer from Guaynabo, a suburb of San Juan, calling into a New York City Hispanic language radio station. The caller accuses Cruz, San Juan’s anti-Trump mayor with a penchant for supporting and befriending convicted terrorists, of staggering negligence and dereliction of duty in the wake of Hurricane Maria:
What? Political motivations by a Leftist-leaning mayor? How odd; I don’t seem to recall that having occurred before.
These allegations appear to confirm President Trump’s earlier criticisms of Yulin. The President has made clear that he thinks her response to the hurricane has been a disaster, and that her frequent, televised jabs at him are politically motivated.
Moreover, this police officer’s account corroborates Trump’s claim that the federal government’s response to the hurricane so far has been timely and impressive, and it is the various levels of Puerto Rican government that deserve the blame.
“If the US government doesn’t get involved, they will finish us,” the Puerto Rican cop pleads. “We’re going to end up worse than Cuba, Africa, or worse than Haiti.”
U.S. MILITARY ON PUERTO RICO: “THE PROBLEM IS DISTRIBUTION” AND HERE’S WHY
by Penelope Jean Hayes
“It’s picture perfect devastation. The hurricane came through the middle of the island. 100% of the island is without power. As a Puerto Rican it troubles me to hear the misinformation about the crux of the issue.”
Speaking today exclusively and live from Puerto Rico, is Puerto Rican born and raised, Colonel Michael A. Valle (”Torch”), Commander, 101st Air and Space Operations Group, and Director of the Joint Air Component Coordination Element, 1st Air Force, responsible for Hurricane Maria relief efforts in the U.S. commonwealth with a population of more than 3 million. Since the ‘apocalyptic’ Cat 4 storm tore into the spine of Puerto Rico on September 20, Col. Valle has been both duty and blood bound to help.
Col. Valle is a firsthand witness of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) response supporting FEMA in Puerto Rico, and as a Puerto Rican himself with family members living in the devastation, his passion for the people is second to none. “It’s just not true,” Col. Valle says of the major disconnect today between the perception of a lack of response from Washington verses what is really going on on the ground. “I have family here. My parents’ home is here. My uncles, aunts, cousins, are all here. As a Puerto Rican, I can tell you that the problem has nothing to do with the U.S. military, FEMA, or the DoD.”
Oh no. More corroboration that Mayor Soto is a partisan, lying hack for Leftists who is willing to jeopardize her own residents.
“The aid is getting to Puerto Rico. The problem is distribution. The federal government has sent us a lot of help; moving those supplies, in particular, fuel, is the issue right now,” says Col. Valle. Until power can be restored, generators are critical for hospitals and shelter facilities and more. But, and it’s a big but, they can’t get the fuel to run the generators.
They have the generators, water, food, medicine, and fuel on the ground, yet the supplies are not moving across the island as quickly as they’re needed.
“It’s a lack of drivers for the transport trucks, the 18 wheelers. Supplies we have. Trucks we have. There are ships full of supplies, backed up in the ports, waiting to have a vehicle to unload into. However, only 20% of the truck drivers show up to work. These are private citizens in Puerto Rico, paid by companies that are contracted by the government,” says Col. Valle.
Again, very odd. Isn’t that what other people are saying? And what the American Media Maggots are not saying?
Then this from FoxNews.com from a Puerto Rican CEO who says, well, the government of Puerto Rico is rotten and incompetent. That’s never good in an emergency.
Puerto Rican CEO: Local government ‘corrupt’ and ‘totally inexperienced’ in Maria cleanup
The head of an international engineering firm in Puerto Rico said in an editorial Saturday that when the time came to send 50 of his engineers to help in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, he bypassed local officials and went straight to FEMA.
The reason, said Jorge Rodriguez, the CEO of PACIV, in an editorial in the New York Post, is that “for the last 30 years, the Puerto Rican government has been completely inept at handling regular societal needs, so I just don’t see it functioning in a crisis like this one.”
“Even before the hurricane hit, water and power systems were already broken. And our $118 billion debt crisis is a result of government corruption and mismanagement.”
Puerto Ricans elected a new governor last November but, Rodriguez charged, he was inexperienced and had never been responsible for a budget.
Gov. Ricardo Rossello cannot exactly count on those around him either, Rodriguez asserted.
“His entire administration is totally inexperienced and they have no clue how to handle a crisis of this magnitude,” said Rodriguez, who has a graduate business degree from Harvard Business School and was named a “Most Distinguished Graduate” by the University of Puerto Rico.
Translation: in many ways this is a self-inflicted wound. And we wonder why Puerto Rico went bankrupt? The clouds are parting, yes?
DoD Accelerates Hurricane Relief, Response Efforts in Puerto Rico
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 2017 — The Defense Department is accelerating relief operations and the deployment of additional response capacity to Puerto Rico to meet the Federal Emergency Management Agency‘s need for a comprehensive commodities distribution network able to reach isolated communities and provide sustained medical support for the island’s residents, Army Lt. Col. Jamie Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said in a statement this morning.
I wonder who would motivate that? President Trump perhaps?
A Q&A with former Navy Captain Jerry Hendrix on smart preparations the White House and Pentagon made for the looming storm.
by Tobin Harshaw
“Send in the cavalry.”
That was the advice retired Army General Russel Honore gave President Donald Trump this week about responding to the devastation of Puerto Rico by Hurricane Maria. And Honore’s opinion was well informed: In 2005, President George W. Bush sent him to bail out New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina’s 30-foot storm surge overran its levees. And by Honore’s judgment, Trump has fallen short: “This is a hit on White House decision making,” he told Bloomberg News.
“The logistics chain is broken and only the U.S. military can stand it up,” insisted Florida Senator Marco Rubio. “And it is truly my hope that at some point in the next few hours the generals that are down there now, someone with … two stars, or three stars on their shoulder, will be able to be the ultimate decision maker until we get basic logistics.”
TH: So, it seems like everybody has blasted Trump administration’s response to the Puerto Rico crisis. Has that criticism been fair?
JH: No, I don’t think so. First of all, there was a fair amount of anticipatory action that is not being recognized. Amphibious ships including the light amphibious carriers Kearsarge and Wasp and the amphibious landing ship dock Oak Hill were at sea and dispatched to Puerto Rico ahead of the hurricane’s impact.
Oh wait. You mean to say the Trump administration was planning ahead of Hurricane Maria, as he was ahead with Hurricane Harvey?
Then there was this terrible video. Why terrible? Because President Trump told the truth.
34 people dead in Puerto Rico via Hurricane Maria vs the final death toll via Hurricane Katrina, which was at 1,836, primarily from Louisiana (1,577) and Mississippi (238). More than half of these victims were senior citizens.
Are you beginning to see a running theme here? Let’s be honest: Demorat/Leftist Mayor Soto disliked President Trump way before the storm. Soto wants independence for Puerto Rico. I say: they should get it. You want to cut the cord? I am all for that, including the cord cutting of cash.
San Juan mayor accuses Trump of ‘genocide’ after hurricane
by Stephen Dinan
The House overcame a conservative rebellion Thursday to pass a new round of disaster relief, saying the $36.5 billion is needed to replenish funds that are quickly depleting in the wake of hurricanes that have battered Texas, Florida, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
The overwhelming 353-69 vote came even as President Trump suggested federal emergency workers cannot remain in Puerto Rico “forever” — and Carmen Yulin Cruz, the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, accused Mr. Trump of “genocide” for what she said was an antipathy toward her island territory.
“I ask every American that has love, and not hate in their hearts, to stand with Puerto Rico and let this President know we WILL NOT BE LEFT TO DIE,” the mayor said in a statement she sent to Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez, Illinois Democrat, and asked him to publicize on Capitol Hill.
“I ask the United Nations, UNICEF and the world to stand with the people of Puerto Rico and stop the genocide that will result from the lack of appropriate action of a President that just does not get it because he has been incapable of looking in our eyes and seeing the pride that burns fiercely in our hearts and souls,” the mayor continued.
Then there is this, the newest, from October 16th, in which Puerto Rico Secretary of State Luis G. Rivera Marin discovers American aid purposely pitched into a dumpster.
Puerto Rico’s secretary of state filmed this in a dumpster.. AID thrown away & mishandled & they blame @POTUSpic.twitter.com/yUEFGuD52w
Politics, anyone? Bueller? At the expense of Puerto Ricans in desperate need?
Damn. Don’t you hate it when money cannot go on indefinitely? Particularly to a spendthrift, corrupt and unaccountable entity like Puerto Rico? Hey PR, where did our earlier American Taxpayer cash go? Crickets?
Note to American Media Maggots: as the X-Files used to say, “the truth is out there.” You just have to want to find it and every once in awhile jump on the internet. Check a few sources. Contrast and compare. You know. Do your jobs.
Dammit, sorry. That’s too much to expect. You’ve gotta keep your phony-baloney jobs. Despite the fact that your bosses are firing you at a record pace, your once-credible foundations are crumbling, you’re bleeding readers and hemorrhaging dollars.
If an ancient fat guy with a shameless radio contract and a blog can do it, I bet you could too, AMM.
