Clinton at the American Legion Convention

| September 1, 2016

The Associated Press reports that presidential candidate Hillary Clinton dropped in on the American Legion Convention today and she outlined her platform on National Security;

[T]he Democratic presidential nominee called the United States an “exceptional nation,” and accused Republican rival Donald Trump of thinking that approach is “insulting to the rest of the world.”

Clinton said the country has a “unique and unparalleled ability to be a force for peace and progress.” She questioned Trump’s support for the military and hit him for his last-minute trip to Mexico Wednesday, saying it “takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults and insinuations by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours.”

Like dropping in on the American Legion for a few minutes after years of insulting the military?

From Military Times;

“Threatening to walk away from our alliances, ignoring the importance that they still are to us, is not only wrong, it is dangerous,” she told a crowd of veterans gathered at the Cincinnati event. “If I am your president, our friends will always know, America will have your backs, and we expect you to have ours.

“You don’t build a coalition by insulting our friends or acting like a loose cannon. You do it through slow, hard work of building relationships.”

The entire time that Obama has been President, he’s been threatening to walk away from Afghanistan and essentially that’s what he did to Iraq – with predictable results. I think Clinton was Secretary of State when he walked away from our alliance with the Iraqi government. So, who does she think that she’s fooling?

More “Smart Power” bullshit from Cankles?

I’d bet that IDC SARC wouldn’t tap that with the original 10 foot pole…

IDC SARC

I’d hit it.

repeatedly.
with a 2×4.
to the head

Aluminum Donkey Punch

HMCS(FMF) ret.

I’d thought that a “high class” guy like you would have used titanium to do the donkey punch on Cankles? Got to keep those “standards” a little on the high side…

BTW – I wouldn’t tap her ass with YOUR DICK, bro… I have a few standards and a conscience

desert

She is a diseased, filthy, lying, worthless communist PIG! She and her pervert husband HATE the military, the two turds were students in the 60’s when all the hate the military B.S. was going on, nothing has changed with them! She said she was the daughter of a Navy Veteran…I would like to see if that is true, but she has never said anything truthful yet!!!

HMC Ret

I think she’s worse than that, desert, but I don’t have the words to describe my loathing for all things Clinton, including their ring of advisers and limousine liberals who believe they are so much better than the people who made this country great. They have, IMO, contributed absolutely nothing to the well being of this country, not one damn thing. At this moment I simply lack the words to improve your analysis. They are scum.

Ex-PH2

She is relying on that disease that usually hits people in their 90s – short-term memory loss. Not a good sign if you think the internet does not retain the things you say and do.

HMC Ret

Wideload and billy bob have serf-serving memory. They can’t remember shit when questioned re their dishonesty, but each has/will write an autobiography in which they can remember everything. (BTW, the liberals do not have sole ownership of this lapse of memory.) I simply believe they are more ‘scummy’ with the process. The liberals have stacked each alphabet agency with a blatant liar. Those trash at the IRS particularly irritate me.

MSG Eric

If only she saw the huge irony in that statement. But, it makes her look bad so she doesn’t see anything that makes her look bad.

And if you look at her 2008 candidacy, many of the major points are different, but are what Trump is following, like immigration. Mind you the delivery is much different.

Green Thumb

Hillary Sucks.

ChipNASA

She sucks so bad, she sucks at sucking.

Cpl/Major Mike

So bad that Bill had Monica suck his.

Blaster

Can’t say that I blame him.

There ain’t enough viagra in the world to be able to “stand up” to seeing cankles naked!

I just threw up in mouth a little!

The Other Whitey

If you were married to that, you’d be feeling up fat chicks at the office, too!

Cpl/Major Mike

Hell, I might anyway!!

Cpl/Major Mike

Oooops, didn’t mean to hit the report post, sorry.

sgt. vaarkman 27-48th TFW

She doesn’t give a damn about veterans!!! , she is just trying to BS for their/our votes and would soon forget about our existence if she were elected POTUS.
Did she tell her sniper story to those at the convention ,so she could give the impression of fitting in ?

LRRP2

Who in the hell invited her to the podium ? I guess I just assumed that Vets would run her out of town on a rail .

Bernie Hackett

Naw, she is hoping that the voters have the attention span of a fruit fly. With all this brain dead gazing into small screens all the time, I suspect that is what you get as a side effect. Lotsa quick flashes, calculated to make you like Pavlovs dog, and not too much attention on any one thing. Oh, look! Shiny stuff! Vote for me, I just LOVE veterans. Yeah, sure. You and all the rest of your coterie of real smart people.

Graybeard

Delusional. Simply, plainly, delusional. And hoping others are as well.

David

Squirrel!

Blaster

Turning our backs on Israel too.

What does or would she know about loyal relationships! Her own husband cheated on her. Her right hand aide, Huma, is in a marriage that involved cheating. How many friendships has she been loyal to?Better yet, how many of her friends have “died”?

I hope that Trump can pull this off, but I’m afraid we’re going to be stuck with this bitch. I was never a Trump fan, but I can’t stand the thought of the alternative. however, I am warmup Trump. I don’t know if his handlers are helping him sound better or if I just absolutely cannot stand the thought of that bitch being my CinC

F’n Legion should be ashamed of itself. Benghazi.

Here’s her speech. It’s a scream. Note that the welcoming applause (all 11 clappers) were covered by music to spare the embarrassment of the cold welcome (or so I hope.) During the speech, uninterrupted by applause, no house shots were shown. I don’t wonder why. Middle finger displays may have been in abundance. Benghazi.

UpNorth

No house shots were shown to avoid showing the dozens of empty seats. It seems that attendees stayed away in droves.

Having served from Jimmy “peanut brain” Carter to William “Jackass” Clinton I did several Presidential support missions for the USSS. I can tell everyone that by far the Clintoons regularly should their disdain for both the USSS and the military.

Hillary was by far the worst; in public, private or semi-private, didn’t make a difference with her.

And as far as I can tell, the bitch has only gotten worse.

SFC D

She really should’ve kept holding her breath. Forever. Phony bitch.

HMC Ret

” …my commitment to do whatever I could in whatever role I had to bring bin Laden to justice.”

Did she tout her role in the slaughter of our four warriors in Benghazi? I’m not watching the video.

Perry Gaskill

An interesting question is whether Hillary actually believes she was a key player in the bin Laden raid, which would make her delusional, or if she actually knows she’s babbling a line to pander to the AL– which would make her a charlatan.

Bill M

Or both.

nbcguy54ACTUAL

Hildebeast’s husband was a key player in reference to OBL. SF had him in their sights but Billie wouldn’t let them pull the trigger.

Ultimately we can thank the Clintons for 9/11 and all of the fun we’ve had since then…

AW1Ed

It goes back much farther than that. Think Carter and Desert One/Operation Eagle Claw era.

Mayhem

WTF does her experience inside the beltway as a Senator have to do with military tactics? Stoopid bitch!

nbcguy54ACTUAL

She is good at getting people killed…

Blaster

Yeah, but she’s confused on which side the killing is supposed to happen to

wireman611

She’s good at having people killed. Body count 45+ now.

Mick

Here’s a photo of Hillary during the bin Laden raid.

http://victorygirlsblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Hillary-vapors.jpg

Yeah, she sure looks like she was performing a key, highly aggressive leadership role during the mission. Uh huh.

It looks more like she’s scared shitless and about to burst into tears.

HMC Ret

My money is that everyone in civvies in that room is developing two speeches for the press. One for a successful mission with contains a bunch of words such as ‘I’, ‘Me’, ‘We’, etc. The other with words such as ‘They’, ‘He’, ‘The President’, etc. The guy in uniform is sitting there hoping to see some major ass kicking, probably secure in the thought he is the only one in the room with a set.

SFC D

It was the first time she’d ever seen real men.

ex-OS2

I think that was due to the 12″ dildo crammed up her ass, but I could be wrong.

Cpl/Major Mike

I don’t know anything about how the AL decides who speaks at their convention but whoever ok’d that lying bitch to speak needs to be tossed out on his ass. Any of them up there on the stage with her should be ashamed of themselves, ny of them sitting there listening to her babble should be equally ashamed. Very disappointing since after 50 years I was actually thinking about the American Legion.

sj

Yep. I won’t be renewing my membership.

A Proud Infidel®™

They invited both Clintoon and Trump, he’s yet to speak there. There were PLENTY of empty seats when Hildebeast Cankles spoke, I wonder if Trump will have any?

Poetrooper

Democrats treat the military and veterans communities much like they treat the black community, four years of disregard and neglect followed by a brief campaign period during which they pat us on the head, tell us how valued we are and promise to do better next time.

I don’t know about you but when a Democrat pats me on the head, I want to tear his/her arm off and beat ’em to death with it.

Blaster

You like em better than I do!

HMC Ret

I’ve noticed some slight change of ideology among a few people of color and other groups that are said to be ‘oppressed’ by the conservatives. Some are speaking out about the obvious bullshittery that is the liberal mantra concerning how much they care for, value, protect people of color and other groups. Same crap q4 years: ‘Vote for me and I’ll set you free’. Well, after several generations, they are primarily still stuck in great numbers in a mire of poverty from which there is little hope of escape under present circumstances. It’s always about if only we had more money, we could do even more for you and those evil conservatives won’t give us more money to help you. Pure bullshittery. Their circumstances have less to do with expenditures as it does the oppressive nature of those who ‘help’ them and have convinced them that they are incapable of helping themselves.

Yep, I’m the ‘R’ word: Realist

Atkron

Both Trump and Clinton were invited to Mexico by their President. She’s just pissed because he rushed down there first….probably while she was taking a day off.

Carrying Obama’s putter???

Let’s not forget how Trump showed up in LA meeting people and donating his own money to help people recover while Hitlery Cankles merely made a few phone calls and B. Hussein 0bama went on golfing at Martha’s Vineyard.

HMC Ret

The media was all up Bush’s ass re his ‘delay’ in visiting NO after Katrina, but I haven’t heard shit from them re opuss and his golfing. At least Bush conducted official business. Those media whores don’t even pretend to be unbiased.

Dave Hardin

How big is that bitch going to get? If she had to haul ass, it would take several trips. She is trying to bring the Momo dress back into style. Not only is she just fucking ugly, every time she speaks I feel like I just gargled with a cacophony of puss and piss.

No bitch, I will not be agreeable.

SKYJUMPER

C’mon Dave, stop using big, more than two syllable words.

This addled old army grunt had to look up “cacophony” ( which strangely fits Hillary if you pronounce it “cackle-phony”) to find it’s meaning.

Also heard that her people in anticipation of her becoming the POTUS, are redesigning Air Force One to fit her ass.

They’re taking this plane, the “Guppy”>

and retrofitting it & renaming it the “Sham-moo-moo”.

CC Senor

I appreciate your pun and since Dave all but called her a dog I’ll leave you with this:

HMC Ret

Is that karaoke tryouts?

AW1Ed

Hey now! Sham-moo-moo would have to carry her ass AND her ego.

Hondo

It’s pronounced “caca-phony”.

For either Clintoon, that seems perfectly apropos.

FatCircles0311

She should have been boo’d and thrown out on her ass.

CDR_D

I may have to reconsider my membership in the Legion since they allowed that slimy, conniving, lying whore to address their convention.

jonp

I am questioning the integrity and common sense of the National Leader in letting a person who allowed 4 men to be murdered in Bengazi then lied to everyone including the families over the dead men’s coffins.

I sent the National Commander a letter since I have been a member for over 25yrs letting him know my displeasure.

jonp

yeah, and letting him know I am considering withdrawing my membership. I bet I’m not the only one. I expect a nice commentary from him in the next magazine about tolerance, freedom of speech etc…blah blah blah

HMCS (FMF) ret.

Bet you that the leadership of the AL was dorked in the squeak hole by Cankles and the BARBED COCK OF SATAN (with patented “gorilla fist” action) that she’s packing under her pantsuit…

Azygos

I wonder why John McCain didn’t introduce her?

Skippy

Everything that comes out of her mouth should be disregarded as pure B.S. Every politician I’ve ever seen has no care or respect for us vets period unless a photo op is in store

JimV

Ever been to a local American Legion meeting? A bunch of old guy’s drinking. They wanted me to join. Thanks but no thanks. I rarely drink.

Why they allowed illary to speak is beyond me.

JBar

She is going to get us and Poland into deep shit with Russia, even more so since the Russians are hacking the shit out of her and leaking all of the info. We can look back in history to where we are looking at a direct result of her incompetent handling of sensitive and classified information, even before she gets into office again. Russia, an outside state actor, is directly, deliberately, and heavily influencing the US vote. How she can even still be a candidate, or not in prison, is beyond belief. Also the fact that a large portion of the population doesn’t realize this, or doesn’t care.
