Clinton jabs Trump in first major post-election speech

A spirited Hillary Clinton took on the Trump administration Tuesday in one of her first public speeches since she lost the presidential election, criticizing the country's Republican leaders on everything from health care to the shortage of women appointees in top administration positions.

Cracking jokes about her November defeat and her months out of the limelight since, Clinton spoke to thousands of businesswomen in San Francisco, joking there was no place she'd rather be, "other than the White House."

Without mentioning President Donald Trump by name, Clinton faulted the Republican presidential administration repeatedly, including calling its representation of women in top jobs "the lowest in a generation."

She rebuked White House press secretary Sean Spicer, again not by name, for hours earlier Tuesday chiding a black woman journalist during a news conference for shaking her head.

"Too many women have had a lifetime of practice taking this kind of indignity in stride," Clinton said.

"I mean, it's not like I didn't know all the nasty things they were saying about me. I thought some of them were kind of creative," she said. "But you just have to keep going."

Clinton declared herself appalled at a much-circulated photo showing an all-male group of Republican lawmakers last month negotiating women's coverage in health care legislation, noting a social-media parody of it that showed an all-dog panel deciding on feline care.

Last week's failure of the GOP health care bill, Clinton told a cheering, applauding crowd, was "a victory for all Americans."

The Democrats need to find some new faces fast. Their starting lineup belong in a nursing home.

"A spirited Hillary Clinton took on the Trump administration Tuesday"

Just sent a tinkle down your leg didn't it Ellen? But which spirit did Hillary have, Jack Daniels or Mad Dog 5150?

This is like saying that a mosquito jabs a human. She’s not relevant anymore. Hell, even most Democrats just give her polite applause and wish she and her gang of grifters would just go away. I hope it burns her up that she’s reduced to throwing out banal one-liners about how “dark” Trump is at some two-bit Feminist self-congratulation lunch instead of sitting in the Oval Office. That’s where Trump is, Hillary.

Can you just imagine the reaction of the press if Romney had come out with a speech against Obama after his shellacking? He would’ve been laughed right out of town, which is exactly what should’ve happened to Hillary. Instead, she’s breaking news. Good grief.

If that wasn't intentional, it should have been. LOL.

That is her greatest accomplishment given she could barely stand let alone walk.
Of course she is dependent on obamacare either.
