    I thought my disclaimer was pretty clear as well. Just out of curiosity, what was the point given that we all agree it was utter bullshit?

    Point of what?

    It just reeks of a hack piece with a disclaimer. Sort of equivalent to telling a long horrifying story only to toss in a disclaimer that it might not be true. I mean in this case the disclaimer wasn't even needed because of how utterly ridiculous it reads, but I don't think it's a stretch to say that unfortunately many would read that nonsense and believe it. Precisely what some may actually want. Maybe I am misunderstanding the intention, but it certainly seems like an attack on Clinton using what are clearly things she never said but then the disclaimer becomes the get out of jail free card.

    It's blatantly obvious satire not to be taken serious, you may be taking it too serious. Maybe I give most on these boards too much intellectual credit, my bad. I thought it was a clever well thought out and written piece that gives insight to what Clintonites and Bansters really think.
    Have you had any person experience with anyone on that level?

    Not sure I understand the question?

    In any event, while it was obviously clear the piece was nonsense, I do owe a mea culpa in that I read the first paragraph ("The following....etc") in the first post as your writing and not as part of the piece. That makes a world of difference. Again, my bad.

    How Hillary Clinton’s Goldman Sachs Speeches Cost Her the 2016 Election

    the truthdig piece or the book does not explain how Russian hackers or Putin made Hilliary say these things.

    Editor’s note: The following is an excerpt from “How I Lost by Hillary Clinton,” introduced and annotated by Joe Lauria and reprinted by arrangement with OR Books. The book draws on the WikiLeaks releases of Clinton’s talks at Goldman Sachs and the emails of her campaign chief, John Podesta, as well as key passages from her public speeches. “How I Lost by Hillary Clinton” also includes extensive commentary by Lauria and a foreword by Julian Assange, editor in chief of WikiLeaks.

    considering clinton is not the president, i don't see what legs your argument is standing on. clinton made money giving speeches to wall street people trump actively employs former wall street execs in his cabinet. if you fail to see the danger in trump's cabinet picks i don't know what to tell you. 

    but her emails and her speeches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Funny, I don't see the correlation between Clinton's Wall Street speeches and another topic - "things that matter today". At least your dead horse is well tenderized.

    wow...my line wasn't even in the water and I still caught two trigger fish!
    1. nobody said Clinton was the president
    2. I made no argument, although I did answer the question posed
    3. name me the last presidential cabinet that did not have wall streeters?
    4. topic thread title HILLARY CLINTON WALL STREET SPEECHES.
    5. things that matter today... to who? should we forget about primary rigging?
    5. things that happened yesterday might help things that matter today or even tomorrow.

    someone asked how many speeches Hillary gave since blowing a billion dollars on her failed election campaign? (Halloween candy!)
    I'm guessing none.

    I legitimately have no idea what idea you are trying to sell. 

    A year ago, you wrote three posts including some of the contents of an article. You mention nothing of the fact that it is satire, just that it is 'unverified' (typical Roger Stone move there).

    Several comments later, you posted a link to the source with a clear "Satire Alert!!!" on the top. When people read the link and comment on the fact that it's satire, you defended your posts, insinuating we're just not "clever" enough to keep up, and that it was important to note the part of the satire that speaks to "what Clintonites and Bansters really think". Guess what? A piece of satire doesn't tell you a damn thing about what anyone except the satirist thinks!

    A year later, you revive this thread to post an article called "How Hillary Clinton's Goldman Sachs Speeches Cost Her The 2016 Election" featuring that title (but not the article, oh generous sharer of information - http://www.truthdig.com/arts_culture/item/hillary_clintons_goldman_sach_speeches_economic_elitism_20170703), a Reuters link about Trump promoting US natural gas exports, and the Editor's Notes. 

    Stop playing games and making cryptic insinuations: come right out and make a suggestion you're trying to reinforce with supporting evidence (even if your evidence is a satire column). Otherwise, don't be surprised when people have no positive sentiments to share with you. Trying to have a discussion and failing to even identify the point you're trying to make is a sure way to lose your audience.

    It's all about distractions and deflections from Russia, Russia, Russia, collusion and obstruction of justice. That silence you hear? It's the sound of the other shoe being raised.

    Did you really, honestly, guess "none"? If so, you haven't really kept up with the news outside your small bubble. Or maybe that was just another fishing comment that you want us to bite on.
