For you reading pleasure, a visit into the camp and mindset of the "We're with her" crowd.
Funny and sad!
Some of us have two loaves, too.
$200,000 a year in Manhatten is broke ass poor!
Read the article while humming the tune and lyrics to Freeze a Yankee. You may have to look up who Dolf Bristol was (if it helps he was the inspiration for the Governor in Best Little Whorehouse in Texas).
That would be a very wealthy person in my part of the country.

The “let them eat cake” snobs need to wake up to how the rest of us really feel about them.
Pretty decent article considering where it was published.
If Matt Vespa wanted to visit the REAL Clinton Country he should have gone to Baltimore and Detroit... into the pit of black hellholes... That’s where Democrats vote in numbers larger than the numbers of people living in those ‘communities’...
All the stuff about democrat ‘elites’ is fun but it’s NOT where the big vote total come from... maybe Matt Vespa missed the Texas border with Mexico - dirt poor brown people pulling the lever for Hillary. Or the ‘homeless’ of Orange Country in CA... lots of Hillary voters there... not ever listening to NPR...
I can attest to this. My own family is afflicted with this affluenza.
To them, we are the ants under the magnifying glass. Something to be observed and pitied.
The Politico article is loooonnnnnngggg, but only asked Libs about, or mentions, exactly ONE policy dislike:
‘What did he not like about Trump? He shrugged. “So many things,” he said. He cited Trump’s support of the “Janus SCOTUS decision,” which I’ll admit I had to look up.’
No wonder the TDS hatred is all substance-free and stylistic.
This is The Insufferables Creed—what they truly believe (hat tip Michael Kelly).
The Insufferables believe in President Bill Clinton. And have always believed in him. They believed it when Clinton said he had never been drafted in the Vietnam War and believed him later when Clinton said he had merely “forgotten to mention” that he had been drafted in the Vietnam War.
The Insufferables believed him when Clinton he said he hadn’t had sex with Gennifer Flowers and believed him later, when Clinton reportedly said he did bed her down.
They believe the president did not rent out the Lincoln Bedroom to celebrities, did not sell access to himself and the vice president to hundreds of well-heeled special pleaders and did not supervise the largest, most systematic money-laundering operation in campaign finance history, collecting more than $ 3 million in illegal and improper donations.
The Insufferables believe that Charlie Trie and James Riady were motivated by nothing but patriotism for their adopted country.
They believed President Clinton when he conceded that his administration mistakenly obtained the FBI files of more than 300 people, including many top Republicans and believes it was the result of a “completely honest bureaucratic snafu” involving security clearances.
The Insufferables believed Clinton’s chief of staff, Leon Panetta, when he told reporters that “obviously a mistake was made” and apologized to the people whose FBI files wound up at the White House. They believed Clinton when he said “I completely support” what my COS Panetta said about the affair.
They believed Vice President Gore when he said that he had made dunning calls to political contributors “on a few occasions” from his White House office, and believed him when he said that, actually, “a few” meant 46.
The Insufferables devoutly believe in no controlling legal authority....but not for Trump.
They believed Bruce Babbitt when he said that the $286,000 contributed to the DNC by Indian tribes opposed to granting a casino license to rival tribes had nothing to do with his denial of the license. Brooks believed the secretary when he said that he had not been instructed in this matter by then-White House deputy chief of staff Harold Ickes.
The Insufferables believed him when he said later that he had told lobbyist and friend Paul Eckstein that Ickes had told him to move on the casino decision, but that he had been lying to Eckstein. They agreed with the secretary that it is an outrage that anyone would question his integrity.
The Insufferables firmly believe in the “Clinton Standard” of adherence to the nation’s campaign finance and bribery laws, enunciated by the president on March 7, 1997: “I don’t believe you can find any evidence of the fact that I had changed government policy solely because of a contribution.”
All of the accomplished Insufferable types noted with approval the use of the word “evidence” and also the use of the word “solely.” Journos believe, as Clinton does, that it is proper to change government policy to address the concerns of people who have given the president money, as long as nobody can find evidence of this being the “sole” reason.
They believe President Clinton lived up to his promise to preside over the most ethical administration in American history that indicted former agriculture secretary Mike Espy did not accept $35,000 in illegal favors from Tyson Foods and other regulated businesses.
The Insufferables believe that indicted former housing secretary Henry Cisneros did not lie to the FBI and tell others to lie to cover up $250,000 in blackmail payments to his former mistress.
They believe that convicted former associate attorney general Webster Hubbell was not involved in the obstruction of justice when the president’s minions arranged for Hubbell to receive $ 400,000 in sweetheart consulting deals at a time when he was reneging on his promise to cooperate with Kenneth Starr’s Whitewater investigation.
The Insufferables believe, as Harvey Weinstein does, that Paula Jones is a cheap tramp who was asking for it, that Kathleen Willey is a cheap tramp who was asking for it, and that Monica Lewinsky is a cheap tramp who was asking for it.
They firmly believe Monica Lewinsky was “just fantasizing” in her 20 hours of taped conversation in which she reportedly detailed her sexual relationship with the president and begged Linda Tripp to join her in lying about the relationship and that any gifts, correspondence, telephone calls and the 37 post-employment White House visits that may have passed between Lewinsky and the president are evidence only of a platonic relationship.
The Insufferables believe that such innocent intimate friendships are quite common between middle-aged married men and young single women, and also between presidents of the United States and White House interns.
They see nothing suspicious in the report that the president’s intimate pal, Vernon Jordan, arranged a $40,000-per-year job for Lewinsky shortly after she signed but before she filed an affidavit saying she had not had sex with the president.
Nor did they read anything significant into the fact that the ambassador to the United Nations, Bill Richardson,
visited Lewinsky at the Watergate to offer her a job.
The Insufferables believe the instructions Lewinsky gave Linda Tripp informing her on how to properly perjure herself in the Willey matter “simply wrote themselves.”
The Insufferables believe, as does Hillary, that The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Newsweek, Time, U.S. News & World Report, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS and NPR are all part of a vast right-wing conspiracy to malign the saintly Clintons.
These people are Lotus Eaters”. Come a day, they will go down in droves, unable to fend for themselves.
Believe me, that’s a good salary in Manhattan. Somebody here was trying to pass you a rubber peach!
They do in my neck of the woods.
And it doesn’t go too far in much of New Jersey, either. Of course, this is largely because the liberals around here tax the hell out of everything, and through their socialist policies, distort normal free market forces.
On one of my forays into the heart of darkness, the DC metro, I was treated to a lengthy diatribe by a well connected denizen. According to this highly educated, wealthy and opinionated man, the entire state of West Virginia should be emptied of its population and turned into a nature preserve used only for recreating.
When I asked what he proposed for the 1.8 million souls who called West Virginia their home and ancestral property, he waved his hand and said, “Inbred and stupid people. Just put them somewhere.”
So, to all those highly educated people in “lesser” states, all those who live on land their forebears settled, those who labor and produce, provide works of charity, prayer and gratitude for life, I apologize for this pig-ignorant man.
In the immortal words of some internet bard: YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID.
You will never change their mentality which surpasses the supposed obligation of nobility.
Unless, of course, they sleepwalk into a nasty revolution.
“The “let them eat cake” snobs need to wake up to how the rest of us really feel about them.”
They really don’t care. They just fly over.
