"The park feels divorced from Manhattan, whose skyscrapers loom from across the water, not just geographically, but spiritually. With the bomb-sniffing dogs, security guards, metal detectors, police officers, Men In Black-looking security guards and campaign staff speeding around on golf-carts, Hillary Island felt like its own world with its own rule. Its a serene summertime police statewherein campaign staffers told reporters to stay in their designated area, away from attendeespleasant and creepy at the same time."
Hillary's Village?

It’s too bad that I didn’t know that there would be a small conservative protest group - I would have gone!

Hillary’s only chance to be elected is for the RNC to deliver the amnesty candidate that The Cheap Labor Express has paid them for.

pleasant and creepy at the same time."Yeah. Just like those guys who shot up the Dallas police station were "courageous and brave."
What the hell is wrong with America's reporters?

Hillary channeled FDR for ballast as her 2016 launch balloon sunk ignominiously cheered on by her campaign's rent-a crowd.
She tried to dismiss the Clinton wealth issue, saying that though she's rich, she's helping the little people.....equating herself w/ wealthy populist FDR.
But FDR is a far cry from the criminal tactics "dead broke" Hillary used to acquire her wealth.

There aren’t any reporters in America anymore. They all work for The Ministry Of Propaganda.
If you want real reporting, you have to look for overseas sources.

‘I am going
to speak in a
condescending manner that
is to speak softly
and slowly so
you can
better understand
what I am
saying to
you.’
Then, she goes into a disjointed diatribe that is nothing more than a litany of liberalism: the same promises and politispeak politicians have been spouting for a century or more.
She said nothing new.

Amen. Russia Today is less propagandistic than our media.

Isn’t Roosevelt Island where all the garbage is dumped?
If not, it should be.
Hillary should talk about poor Vince Foster and why she had Craig Livingstone shoot him right after she fed him a hearty meal in her tony Georgetown residence.
She should talk about that pile of dead bodies that were left in the Clinton wake on their trip to the White Hovel.
She should talk about her humble life as a child in Chicago and her life as the wife of a struggling, sex-crazed hillbilly politician.
She should talk about her splendid job as secretary of state and how she and poor little Chelsea were met by a hail of machine gun bullets and mortar fire as they fled from their plane on a trip to the Balkans.
She should talk about how she forced her idiot husband to bomb Yugoslavia.
There are so many things she should talk about, but she never will.

Question for the group...
Anyone know if the domain names "HillaryRodhamClinton.com" or "HillaryRodhamClinton2016.com" are available.
I'm not tech savvy enough to research it..I know it can be done.. and if not ".com", then what about ".org"
I'd be willing to kick in a few bucks to buy it (them)..then we can redirect it (them) to FR
Could be fun..
