Hillary Clinton is making a fool out of herself blaming nearly everything under the sun, including the DNC, for her election loss to Trump. The one thing she did not blame was the one thing that mattered: herself.
Hillary Blames DNC
“I inherit nothing from the Democratic Party,” said Hillary during a question and answer session at Code Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, California on Wednesday. “I mean, it was bankrupt. It was on the verge of insolvency. Its data was mediocre to poor, nonexistent, wrong,” she recalled. “I had to inject money into it.”
Hillary Blames Russia
“The Russians in my opinion, and based on the intel and counterintel people I’ve talked to, could not have known how best to weaponize that information unless they had been guided,” she said. “Guided by Americans and guided by people who had polling and data information.”
Hillary Blames Media
Hillary moans Media Covered Email Server Scandal ‘Like it was Pearl Harbor’.
Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton lambasted the media’s coverage of her use of a private email server as secretary of State, arguing Wednesday that she did nothing wrong and charging that the media’s fixation on the matter allowed Republicans to effectively exploit it.
Speaking at an event with the technology website Recode, Clinton argued that most people viewed the issue as “the biggest nothing-burger ever.” While she said that it was a “mistake” that she wishes she could take back, she ultimately defended the decision she made at the time.
“There was no law against it, no rule against it, nothing of that sort. I didn’t break any rule. Nobody said, ‘Don’t do this.’ I was very responsible and not at all careless.”
Excuse me for pointing out she did break rules, she was not responsible, she was careless, and she obstructed justice in coverups.
Clinton Blames FBI Director Comey
Clinton accused Republicans of using the email server “very effectively for adverse political reasons,” lamenting Comey’s decision to effectively reopen the investigation in the final days of the race before later announcing that he found nothing new in freshly obtained emails. And noting that Recode had interviewed New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet on the same stage on Tuesday, she criticized the paper’s handling of the situation. “They covered it like it was Pearl Harbor,” she said.
Nixon Moment Needed
Dear Hillary, please shut up. The world could use some silence. I strongly suggest you issue a one-liner to the effect “The world doesn’t have Hillary Clinton to kick around anymore.”
After Richard Nixon lost to Pat Brown in the 1962 California Gubernatorial election, Nixon lashed out at the media and issued this famous statement “you don’t have Nixon to kick around anymore, because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference.”
Here’s an irony I just uncovered while looking up the above statement.
No Trump to Kick Around
On October 21, 2016, CNN proposed this headline “You won’t have Trump to kick around anymore”
The details of Nixon’s concession speech in the above report are amusing.
In the 1962 gubernatorial race, Nixon finally went to sleep at about 4 a.m. He didn’t wake up to good news. When told by his advisors that reporters had been waiting to hear from him, he responded, “Screw them.” When Press Secretary Herbert Klein said that everyone expected to hear the traditional concession statement, Nixon repeated himself: “Screw them.”
In a bizarre press conference, Klein appeared before the media at 10 a.m. to inform them that Nixon had left the building and would not appear. Instead he read from the concession telegram Nixon sent the governor. About ten minutes into his appearance, Nixon surprised everyone by stepping in front of the microphones. Looking haggard and angry, Nixon explained that, “Now that Mr. Klein has made his statement, and now that all the members of the press are so delighted that I have lost, I’d like to make a statement of my own.”
He spent his time with the media blasting the kind of coverage that he received and complaining that the “Cuban thing,” meaning the Cuban Missile Crisis, prevented him from getting his message across in a critical few weeks. He targeted the press, saying that throughout his public career, journalists had always been biased against him.
Nixon famously concluded by saying: “I leave you gentlemen now and you will write it. You will interpret it. That’s your right. But as I leave you I want you to know — just think how much you’re going to be missing. You won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore because, gentlemen, this is my last press conference. And I hope that what I have said today will at least make television, radio, the press recognize that they have a right and a responsibility — if they are against a candidate, give him the shaft, but also recognize if they give him the shaft, put one lonely reporter on the campaign who will report what the candidate says now and then.”
CNN Irony
The CNN article concluded …
It is easy to imagine that if Hillary Clinton is victorious we might see something resembling Nixon’s bitter words in November. Trump might very well concede, but it is doubtful that he would not emphasize how unfair he believed the entire process to have been. Like Nixon, Trump is a figure who feels the need to justify his defeats and to put blame on others for his own difficulties.
Dear Hillary, in the likely event you will never shut up, how about a little humility and honesty?
Mike “Mish” Shedlock
She reminds me of my delusional, alcoholic father. Like a bad record (LP) that has nothing new to say and totally lacking in self-awareness, she repeats the same garbage over & over & over.
The only “choice” is, “do I stick around and continue listening to this nonsense, or abandon her so that I can live a normal life”?
Nothing more pathetic than an out of touch hag with delusions,of grandeur who is desperately trying to remain relevant. Still trying to fleece the public for as much as she can get.
But wait!
It gets even better…..er…..or is that worse?
“DNC Data Officials Hit Back at Hillary Over Blame for Loss”
“…..Hillary Clinton laid blame at the feet of the Democratic National Committee. People at the DNC are not happy about it and are pushing back….”
http://legalinsurrection.com/2017/06/dnc-data-officials-hit-back-at-hillary-over-blame-for-loss/comment-page-1/#comment-757170
You know for sure Crooked Hillary has lost any respect anyone still had for her when even CNN is turning against her. CNN called Hillary’s latest rants the “Excuse Tour”.
Ahh! Hillary – not quite a Marie Antionette but just as aware of her obscene privileges. ‘Let them eat cake’ – but that was fake news too.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_them_eat_cake
Full circle on fake news. Now it’s not just the Coast Guard and the people in charge of maps joining in to sing together: “We assess that only a state actor could have pulled this hack off, and that Putin did it because we know he has the motive”, no, it turns out that the Russians couldn’t have pulled it off without good-old American know-how to help weaponize and target the faux-but-true [DKIM authenticated] information.
We have passed the point of not giving a damn about the Clinton’s. And their so-called “do-good” foundation, their spawn and their incessant whining. The wonderful news is we also don’t hace ro put up with the thousands of “Clintonworld” degenerates that would be going about the business of destroying what is left of America had she been elected.
I await the first indictments of this criminal. That would shut her up – right up until she cried conspiracy and got Soros’ funded Brown Shirts in the streets burning Starbucks to really piss off the latte sipping Snowflakes. Bring it.
If a combat dodging coward like George W. Bush can’t be charged for lying us into a war, its highly unlikely that a Wall Street stooge like Hillary will be either.
Not just the Clinton’s.
There’s a whole layer that went from public service to self service, all need flushing away like the turds they became.
A lesson in this for everyone.
Serve others, stfu about yourself.
Who is this Hillary?
He conquered Everest.
I don’t think she’s done… She missed blaming George Soros, Debbie Wasserman Shultz, Huma Abedin, and John Podesta, but the one that just might get her is Seth Rich invetigation by George Webb.
I noticed that too. She failed to blame Seth Rich for his role in her losing.
Well, not publicly anyway…
As I always told my kids, you have never truly failed until you blame someone else.
I am stealing that.
That is a great line. Thank you.
Hillary has late stage Parkinson’s disease. She lost consciousness, she lost her footing, and she lost her colostomy bag on camera.
…or maybe someone put a spell on her…😉
I knew you wouldn’t forget me, Mike …we’re in this together.
– Hillary is – IMO – a spoiled brat. She simply feels to be entitled to the presidency and won’t quit untill she gets her way or destroy the political system in DC.
– I fear that this constant bickering/infighting – in the end – WILL tear up/consume/embroil the entire US political system and Congress. A prospect I DO NOT like, how much I would like to see Congress gone.
– But I fear it will get only get worse until it gets better.
– I supported neither Trump nor Clinton because both don’t have the interests of the common Joe Sixpack at heart. In that regard Sanders was – IMO – the best of three bad choices.
Yeah, because delusional socialists always have the worker’s best interest at heart….every time they run anything we see how well they care for the average guy…oh….wait…nevermind.
Not just the DC political system — I fear that ultimately this in-fighting will goad Trump into starting a war to galvanize support, despite his better isolationist instincts.
– Joe Lauria wrote a book called “How I lost, by Hillary Clinton”

Actually – we should be hearing lots about Hillary.
Where is the criminal probes/investigations and indictments?
So much corruption and crime. She should be in the news every night ON TRIAL.
Nixon was never convicted of anything (never charged either). Nixon spied on his enemies like Obama, using the FBI and IRS and CIA like Obama.
Unlike Obama, Nixon actually ended an unpopular war. Something WaPo doesn’t like to admit in private never mind in their propaganda rag.
Unlike Hilary, there was no physical evidence of Nixon’s wrong doing (lots of circumstantial evidence, some “blank space” on some recordings — but no actual evidence). Hilary had an illegal server filled with evidence of her wreckless release of classified documents, a tax evading “charity” that collected bribes from foreign persons, and a dead DNC intern killed in a “robbery” where the robbers took nothing but the intern was supplying embarrassing emails to wikileaks. Years ago, WaPo could find Deepthroat, but today’s sniveling media couldn’t even find Washington DC… and somehow Obama’s FBI director couldn’t either.
Check out reporters that are actually “in the weeds” like Lee Stranahan. He explains how all the people on the ground are reporting investigative info back to their employers, but then the news group withholds the reporting to the public. It’s a major headache that’s gotten much worse over the years. Stranahan is concentrating his efforts on Soros. Tomorrow, Soros and associates is holding another nationwide event, the March For Truth. Expect a bunch of violence again.
https://www.marchfortruth.info/
Hope Stranahan has eyes in the back of his head and a boatload of bodyguards. With Soros, he’s going to need them.
He’s already had lots of trouble. Followed, cars sitting outside his house, ect. This weekend, the FBI and Dearborn police raided Huma Abedin’s brother’s house. Took a few people away and confiscated several items. It was noted that Huma had visited her brother right around the time of the Seth Rich murder. Kind of funny how all of a sudden, Hillary goes on her blame tour after a long period of relative silence. Nothing will ever come of this anyway… history repeating itself, again.
Anthony Weiner is living proof that the Clinton’s never murdered anyone.
Lol.
Information is power. Much too valuable to go blabbing it out to everyone. Much more lucrative to keep it all under lock and key in case you ever want to work for the administration. Or just play the market w/o looking like an insider…
Hey Medex Man, I agree with you on Nixon. If you haven’t read Russ Baker’s interesting ideas about the Nixon takedown, here’s a link.
https://whowhatwhy.org/2012/05/07/watergate-revelations-the-coup-against-nixon-part-1-of-3/
I didn’t say Nixon was innocent, I only said he was never charged or convicted. And like OJ and Hillary, Nixon never acknowledged any responsibility for anything
“Unlike Obama, Nixon actually ended an unpopular war.”
Nixon actually worked to extend an unpopular war, seeking to throw a monkey wrench into a peace deal that Johnson was working out, by getting the South Vietnamese leader to not agree to it- the story just came out recently.
Neither Nixon or Obama ended an unpopular war. The Vietnam War continued until 1975, when the north over ran the south. The Iraq war morphed after Obama pulled U.S. troops out, which should never have been in there in the first place.
Not sure where you get your fake news from loser.
Walter Cronkite documented all the ways Johnson was lying about the war — including LBJ’s absolutely bullshit claim that the war was winding down, while construction for Cam Ranh bay’s giant new military base was starting construction.
Also, if you check real world history books — people with brain cells blame Nixon / Kissenger for establishing diplomatic relations with the Chinese and actually ending the vietnam war. Even people who strongly dislike Kissinger admit this, why can’t you?
Your hatred for all things republican (real or imagined) and your cult like acceptance of media propaganda has rendered you incapable of seeing anything but what they spoon feed into your empty skull

Nice cartoon, Mish! You have a second career waiting for you!!
Those of you who think Trump is not made of presidential material should thank your lucky stars that Hitlery didn’t slip through the cracks in November. She’s got her head stuffed so far up into that dark space that she wears her collarbone for a hat. She would’ve issued leftist EO’s left and right and no black-robed government worker would have stepped in to stop her. And she would’ve put the kibosh on any conservative legislation that crossed her desk. Go ahead and criticize Trump if you must, but always keep in mind who the alternative was. Be thankful.
We came, we voted, she lost. Good riddance. Good to see her let it all hangout in California. It reaffirms her madness and fundamental incompetence, and electoral college wisdom.
DNC email leaker (Panda/Seth Rich?) deserves posthumous Wiki Freedom Medal. Zero investigation of possibility that DNC email leaks were an inside job, as Neo-con war mongers are advancing Russia war agenda (which includes moving USA nuclear-capable missiles closer to Russia border with North Korea). Discussion of DNC leaks as potentially an “inside job” is banned from USA media as “conspiracy theory.” But Pravada and Canada Free Press had interesting summaries connecting some of the dots:
http://canadafreepress.com/article/the-murder-of-seth-rich-a-basic-primer-for-corporate-media-hostages
…Comey testified that the FBI made multiple requests, but was denied direct access to the Democratic National Committee’s email servers and other “hacked devices” as part of its probe of Russian hacking…foreign interference of our election process, specifically by Russia. To this day, this unproven conspiracy theory is repeated ad nauseum by the corporate media without any authenticated proof from any government law enforcement agency. The primary source of this narrative is the private cyber security firm CrowdStrike…CrowdStrike was hired and paid for by the DNC in June 2016, essentially making the Russian hacking account a paid product of the DNC…All told, there were at least four-(4) separate hacks into the DNC computers: the Democratic Caucus “hack(s),” the Podesta email “hack(s),” the DNC “hack(s)” and the Clinton Foundation “hack(s).” Included in the above is the strange account of the Awan brothers, three highly-paid Pakistani nationals who were employed as IT specialists shared among House Democrats. Working under Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, the Awan brothers are at the center of controversy in a series of thefts discovered early this year…
I’ll take Hillary over 45 every day of the week. Not a popular sentiment here, but she was the standard NeoLib in the Reagan tradition. 45 is a nut case.
Let what you just said sink in. If Clinton represents a standard, why on earth would we want that to exist at all?
Because the non-standard option is a disaster, as we are experiencing. We are treating politics as entertainment and thus not taking it seriously – this is hubris based on a reliance that our government and institutions are immutable and can suffer any abuse. They can’t, and building them back up again is going to be hard work after the insulting fiasco of the current clown.
“We” don’t treat politics like entertainment. However, CNN decided to make the 2016 Republican primary race into Survivor: United States because they thought Hillary was a shoe-in. Got them lots of attention too.
Really. CNN is the problem?
Here it is from the inside:

Establishment big govt’s and their self-interest remora are destroying economies around the world with their grotesque corruption, inexperience, and mismanagement (a natural result of big govt). Hillary epitomizes the establishment, which is being increasingly rejected around the world, because Socialism (Collectivism) is failing ONCE AGAIN.
Hillary also epitomizes the response of those in the establishment when they lose their grip on their jobs, perks, and power. Instead of looking in the mirror, govts always point the finger elsewhere and raise taxes to pay for their abuses.
What we are witnessing is exactly what Margaret Thatcher pointed out when she said “the trouble with Socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” Socialism / Collectivism is failing spectacularly, but it certainly does not mean that those who’s jobs, perks, and power are dependent on growing govt will go down without a fight. When their alternative is a real job, they will DO ANYTHING, including destroying people and societies.
I fully expect establishment Republicans to fight Trump and stab him in the back every chance they get. They are part of the corrupt cesspool that Trump wants to drain. Yet, the Collectivist and their talking heads site the fact that these establishment RINO’s do not support Trump on issues as proof Trump is out of touch. REALLY? This demonstrates how stupid they are, or how stupid they think we are.
Supporters of Hillary and big govt’s do not know their history, economics, or even 5th grade math, where we learned exponents. These people have the Utopian belief that govt spending can grow exponentially indefinately. As we have seen with health care spending that has grown around 9% PER YEAR for 37 years, when you reach the parabolic part of the curve, things blow up quickly.
“Supporters of Hillary and big govt’s do not know their history, economics, or even 5th grade math, where we learned exponents.”
It’s really that way across the board, public or private. We were all told that after 30 years of 8% compounded annually, we would have a retirement nest egg worth X. Another economic depression or another 75% or more stock market decline was never mentioned. An 8% compounded stock market goes into a parabolic curve, just as 9% compounded medical costs do.
100% of parabolic moves fail.
Yes, bubbles always pop. Thanks to the Fed and govt never taking their medicine, stocks have seen two bubbles pop since 2000. The bubble in Govt spending, like the yearly govt salary and pension increases, seems to never decline. However, the bubble in govt, or more precicely, govt bonds, will pop shortly – starting with soveriegn debt bubble in europe.
With a rising dollar and interest rates, govt bond bubbles will be popping all over the globe, including many muni’s and states (IL was just downgraded one notch above junk status). As the govt bond bubbles pop, capital around the world will not have another option other than stocks that are actually backed by real assets.
Yes, the coming stock bubble will eventually pop, but not until a reserve alternative to the dollar is established. This will not occur until there is a crisis, which could happen by 2020. The alternative will likely be a weighted hybrid, like the IMF’s SDR.
‘By contrast, she said, then-GOP candidate Donald Trump inherited a well-funded and extensively tested data operation that laid the foundation for his ultimately successful campaign to effectively weaponize data and internet content against Clinton.
“So Trump becomes the nominee and he is basically handed this tried and true, effective foundation,” Clinton said. ‘
WTF?
Trump was an out-of-control loose cannon that fired off one ill advised tweet after another in a hamfisted campaign that befuddled veteran political observers both left and right, …and that was before he fired Cory Lewandowski and brought in Kellyanne Conway as campaign manager in the middle of it all.
Now we’re supposed to believe that it was all a master stroke of well coordinated data mining that, as a reality TV celebrity, Trump was somehow able to turn into a winning strategy. Yeah, okay, sure thing. Thanks for clearing it all up for us, Hillary.
The electorate hate DC and 45 is a giant middle finger to the establishment. Hillary was just the person with the bullseye on her. And she has been wearing the bullseye for 20 years.
Sen. Ben Sasse had some interesting stats that sum things up – he noted three things on Bill Maher last night:
1. Over 1/2 of people won’t choose the Republican or the Democrats if asked their preference
2. The primary reason driving both Democratic and Republican voters is dislike of the other party.
The 2 parties have way too much power, every bit as much as the Communist party in China. Maybe even worse, since any freshmen congressmen are required by the parties to become fundraisers first, representatives second. And the party determines committee membership with “choice” committees going for big bucks:
http://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/freedom-caucus-member-slams-money-obsessed-politicians-new-book
The narrative is that any 3rd party candidate is just going to split the vote for whomever they are close match so don’t dare vote for a 3rd party candidate. But no one ever asks what if there were 20 other candidates running? From 20 parties who all have to jockey for power once their guys get into the congress?
If you want to fix the system, start voting for whatever third party you agree with. For sure you don’t agree with much of what the Republicans and Democrats have in their platforms, so it’s not like you’re giving up much.
Sorry – he noted two things 🙂

just crimes swept under a huge rug, or smoking guns? do we have a path to discovery or do our intelligence agencies only ever let us see what they want us to see?
Back in the days before the DSM V, before politically correct speech corrupted the meaning of language, Hillary would have been diagnosed as having several neurosis and her behavior that of a neurotic individual. Mental health workers are forbidden to use those terms. But the fact remains that her behavior is borderline psychotic, another forbidden term. If she were the average individuals she would have been encouraged to become hospitalized. If the psychosis were strong enough she might have been involuntarily institutionalized. Although given the lack of advancement in the treatment of mental illness, warehoused is a better description. Mental illness is a serious affliction. It’s mot like a broken bone or a virus. It’s not something one “grows out of” goes away with time and we build up an immunity.
Given her behaviors that have been made public one would not be wrong to draw the general conclusion she is suffering from some sort of neurosis that may have mild psychotic episodes. One would need to spend enough time with the woman under everyday circumstances to give a true evaluation. But given that she is a public figure and that she enjoys a far more wealthy lifestyle that the average American, the rules are different. Mostly, she gets a pass for public behavior that would normally draw medical doctors and case workers to intervene. I fear the only way that she will STFU is if she is institutionalized. No matter anyone’s opinion of her competence or incompetence for public office she has become “damaged goods”, mostly by her own doing. I might hazard a guess that given her reaction to her defeat and the bitterness with which she treats that defeat she may be hastening toward a premature death. I have my doubts that she will make it to 2020.
You’ve read too much conspiracy shit. Take a pill. I’ll bet you she is fine in 2020, and hopefully she and her husband will be as pertinent to current politics as Romney is today.
Let me get this straight. I base an opinion on the video that has been shown, did not mention any pundits or medicos who ventured an opinion, have several degrees in psychology and some training in clinical psychology along with years of reading on the subject and suddenly my general opinion is nothing but conspiracy theory? But what criteria do you venture such an opinion? Is it your gross ignorance of psychology? Is it due to some agenda you wish to push? Just what is it that makes your opinion expert? Of do you love to hear yourself talk?
Could it be that people who think something is a conspiracy theory are simply massively uninformed?
Yes, that is a possibility.
Reblogged this on John Barleycorn and commented:
A bitter old woman
Hillary doesn’t look in the mirror often.
She comes off as a bitter old woman, who feels she was entitled to be president because of her name. She has always rode Bill’s coat tails. Probably a mediocre intellect but very corruptible, and obviously so was the real reason for her demise.
Hillary is not making a fool of herself. She has always been this way, it is just now becoming obvious to the MSM and her nutty leftist supporters. Amazing how fast they turn on their own.
No, please continue, Hildabeast. Via your hilarious sideshow along with the “cultural appropriation” of ISIS by the likes of Kathy Griffin, attacks by antifa (anti-first amendment) fascists, the court blocking of travel restrictions against dangerous countries identified by the OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, the despicable culture and techniques of the left are being made clear to even the most casual observer and the only voters you’ll have left by 2018 will be drooling Bernie Sanders Marxists.
For comedians and Comedy Central, over the next four years, your audience will become totally sick of and bored with your continuous Trump bashing and that one pony show from your lazy “comedy” writers.
Biggest reason for her lack of support was her performance in office. As senator she supported foolish policies. As sec. of state she was instrumental in creating new terrorist states in Libya and Syria. As a politician she was unable to manage scandals.
We have so many more capable people on all sides just looking at non-Washington politicians. It is a shame that the least effective and poorly informed have been sucking up all the attention for national offices.
How very different Saturday Night Live used to be:
Thank you for this.
CNN says Trump would have acted like that if he had lost; but they don’t condemn Hillary for actually acting like that when she lost. Nope, no bias in the media and especially not from CNN -right? Hillary was one of the most mediocre people ever to run for president in my lifetime and that is really saying something.
Hillary Clinton would be best to remember her famous line, “What Difference does it make”. The election is over, she lost and she’s not likely to get another chance. She lost to Obama, nearly lost to Sanders and lost to Trump. Self reflection is a wonderful thing, but it doesn’t need to be done in public.
