    Hillary got spared. Hillary got discarded. Hillary got Trumped. Hillary got Female Body Inspected. In Soviet Russia, Hillary had it coming. The elites couldn’t save Hillary from themselves.

  2. Mikey says:

    “My God, Donald, what did you eat!?”

    Hillary thought she would eat an Orange, but she ate a lemon instead.

    “Foundation donations have dropped by how much???”

  8. RockThisTown says:

    “But, but, but . . . I already had new drapes picked out!”

  9. Guarneri says:

    You mean “threatening our democracy” is on tape?

  10. Guarneri says:

    Et tu, Pennsylvania??

  11. RockThisTown says:

    Well, on the bright side, the Cubs won.

  12. Guarneri says:

    After WI and PA, Hillary was overheard. ” I am trying, dammit; it is a brick, you know. “.

  13. Guarneri says:

    So with the loss it’s more time with “my husband?”

  14. Tony W says:

    Mrs. Clinton visibly laments the loss of America as we all once knew it.

  15. Guarneri says:

    That is my happy, campaign face, Podesta.

  16. michael reynolds says:

    Is the caption, “Whoever thought this was an amusing picture is a jerk?”

  17. Mu says:

    “Yes Michael, all that money you gave me wasn’t enough”

  18. michael reynolds says:

    You really have to be a fwcking asshole to think that a photo of a woman in emotional pain is funny. Misogynist creeps.

  19. Jack says:

    You mean I lost the bake sale too?

  20. Jack says:

    @michael reynolds: Suck it up, buttercup.

  21. Jack says:

    But, Bill promised!

  22. James Pearce says:

    @michael reynolds:

    a photo of a woman in emotional pain

    Um…that’s not a photo of a woman in emotional pain.

    That’s a photo of Hillary Clinton making a weird face while answering a question at a campaign appearance. Digital high definition photography, dude.

  23. Mikey says:

    @michael reynolds: Is she in emotional pain there? To me she just looks disgusted about something.

  24. Franklin says:

    Robotic Hillary doesn’t seem so robotic now.

  25. al-Ameda says:

    “God, that orange hair smells awful”

  26. markm says:

  27. RockThisTown says:

    “What do you mean Obama lost his pen & won’t be signing my pardon?”

  28. barbintheboonies says:

    Do you people even get the quandary I`ve gotten myself in?

  29. Pch101 says:

    The photo was taken at a 2015 campaign event in Iowa as Clinton attempted to win over voters by appearing to be a decent person who cares about others.

    Trump won enough votes in Iowa to prove that a substantial percentage of Iowans don’t particularly want a president who is a decent person who cares about others. So there goes that theory…

  30. john430 says:

    “They…they called me f–f–f–fat!

    Dean Wormer just called me fat, drunk and stupid and said that’s no way to go thru life. I’m NOT fat!

  31. Pch101 says:

    @john430:

    If your priest heard you talking like that, he would put soap in your mouth instead of giving you communion.

  32. Guarneri says:

    Now, now, people. Mikey R is still whining and bitching like an old woman. Have sympathy, compassion. Wish him well in New Zealand. He’s not well these days.

  33. Jack says:

    @Pch101:

    by appearing to be a decent person

    That is the key phrase there. Obviously the voters wanted a decent president rather than one who appeared to be decent.

  34. “Of course I’m not upset at the outcome of the election. Why would you think otherwise?”

  35. James Pearce says:

    @Pch101:

    by appearing to be a decent person who cares about others.

    Yeah, but does this definition of “others” include white males?

    You should read this Freddie Deboer piece:

    Racism and sexism and homophobia are uniquely pernicious and require our special attention; that special attention presents no conflict at all with our absolute need to help those white or straight or male people who suffer too. Anyone who sees a contradiction between the two halves of that sentence is someone who is not actually committed to the fight for human progress.

    I’m genuinely curious to hear your thoughts.

  36. Pch101 says:

    @James Pearce:

    For the white guys who are in your camp, there is no way for any political party or organization to help minorities without you taking offense to it.

    You’re always going to whine about it and there is no pleasing you. So we can either help the minorities or else blow off minority concerns entirely and cater instead to your whims, i.e. all white all the time.

  37. Mikey says:

    @Jack: And they now have neither.

  38. Pch101 says:

    @Jack:

    Obviously the voters wanted a decent president rather than one who appeared to be decent.

    You are aware that Clinton received more votes, right?

  39. rodney dill says:

    As God is my witness I thought turkeys could fly.

  40. Franklin says:

    Hoping to benefit from Obama’s popularity but instead starting her campaign’s downfall, Hillary took the phrase “passing the torch” way too literally.

  41. Guarneri says:

    @Pch101:

    So while you are at it, why don’t you cite us the rules of cricket.

  42. James Pearce says:

    @Pch101:

    For the white guys who are in your camp, there is no way for any political party or organization to help minorities without you taking offense to it.

    That’s utter BS, but I’m content for you to keep believing it.

    Smart Democrats who want to win elections are not are saying to themselves, “Hey, let’s double down on this anti-white male thing.”

  43. Pch101 says:

    @James Pearce:

    Well, you could provide a path for addressing minority concerns in such a manner that it doesn’t piss you off. But having minorities who suffer in silence appears to be the only option that works for you.

    You keep banging on about this, but you never provide a solution that doesn’t involve dismissing the problems that are faced by people who don’t look like you. Big on complaining, not so big on workable alternatives.

  44. RockThisTown says:

    “Where’s my safety pin?”

  45. Aelio says:

    Hillary after she wasted her fortune at a slot machine. BTW Casinos could have a Fortune Teller machine. “You’re screwed. Quit it while you can. Go play golf instead and have the caddie fix the ball for you when your shots don’t land. Win an election for President.”

  46. Jack says:

    @Pch101:

    You are aware that Clinton received more votes, right?

    Not in Iowa where this picture was taken and where the people there voted for Trump.

  47. James Pearce says:

    @Pch101:

    Well, you could provide a path for addressing minority concerns in such a manner that it doesn’t piss you off.

    You didn’t read that Freddie DeBoer piece, did you?

    Let me quote:

    If you believe that all people deserve equal rights, you will necessarily be a feminist, because those rights are so routinely denied to women. If you believe that all people deserve economic security, you will necessarily fight against racism, because economic security is so routinely denied to people of color. If you believe all people deserve to live lives of human dignity, you will necessarily fight for LGBTQ people, because dignity has so routinely been denied to them. Any political platform that fights to guarantee the rights that I have enumerated here is necessarily feminist, anti-racist, and so on, because the people that suffer from bigotry are those who have been denied them. That such a platform would also help a white straight man in the destitute corridors of Appalachia could only be perceived as a flaw by those who have fundamentally misunderstood the essential question of contemporary politics.

    Liberals figured this out years ago.

    MLK’s dream was that “little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.” The SJW’s dream is to make sure white people don’t “culturally appropriate” anything.

    And you’ll just have to forgive me if I prefer the road-tested version that’s been around for decades over the buggy version so popular today that a) doesn’t work b) is insultingly dumb and c) leads to the election of Donald Trump and the rise of “white nationalism.”

  48. Pch101 says:

    @James Pearce:

    The SJW’s dream is to make sure white people don’t “culturally appropriate” anything.

    Well, I don’t recall Hillary Clinton saying that, so thanks for nothing.

    Liberals are happy to help the white guy in Appalachia and the black kid who was shot by the cops without cause, so I have no idea what you’re going on about.

    If the white guy in Appalachia wants to be a resentnik because there are liberals who have the audacity to devote some effort to defending the black kid, then there’s not much that I can do about that.

  49. john430 says:

    @Pch101: When you finally get out from under your boyfriend, please note that this is a caption copy for humor. Then again, forget about it; you’re humorless.

  50. Pch101 says:

    @john430:

    Funny, I checked the “great sense of humor” list, and you weren’t on it.

    In any case, the point remains that you really suck as a Catholic. Being pious for one hour on Sunday falls waaaaaaaay short of covering you for the week

  51. James Pearce says:

    @Pch101:

    Liberals are happy to help the white guy in Appalachia

    This is exactly what I mean by “insultingly dumb.”

    Lectures on “white privilege” don’t exactly play well in small rural towns full of white people, but I suppose if you give them health insurance they’ll overlook that.

  52. Pch101 says:

    @James Pearce:

    Look, I get it. I realize that it’s impossible to even suggest that minorities have suffered any indignities without pissing you off.

    I also get that it would be wise to avoid talking about white privilege. Seriously, I wouldn’t do it for a variety of reasons.

    What you refuse to understand is that there is an element of this society that resents the very notion of lifting a finger to help minorities, and there is no way that the Democratic party will avoid offending them. The Democratic party would have to revert to its pre-Civil Rights Dixiecrat days in order to change that.

    In any case, I have no doubt that if the phrase “white privilege” was eliminated from the English language that you personally would still find something to complain about. You like playing the white wounded warrior, and there won’t be any way to please you.

  55. James Pearce says:

    @Pch101:

    What you refuse to understand

    What I refuse to understand is why I continue to engage you on this issue, considering the endless bad faith.

  56. Pch101 says:

    @James Pearce:

    What I refuse to understand is why I continue to engage you on this issue, considering the endless bad faith.

    You’ll talk about the perils of being a white male victim with anyone who will even pretend to listen because it obviously means a lot to you.

    Let’s remember that you’re the one who brought this up, and you did so when it was completely off topic.

    And the funny thing is that I sort of agree with you. I understand that whites in America do not want to feel as if race ever provided them with any kind of advantage or less of a disadvantage, even though it should be painfully obviously that it did. Ironically, minorities have to mince their words because they remain outnumbered.

  57. Just 'nutha ig'rant cracker says:

    @michael reynolds: Well, I was going to ask when do the contestants start saying clever things, but this is just as good, so I’ll just be on my way.

  58. Just 'nutha ig'rant cracker says:

    @Pch101: Now THAT was clever. I think you should win.

  59. CSK says:

  60. john430 says:

    @Pch101: You are hardly in a position to review my adherence to Catholicism seeing that you leftists consider “progressiveness” as a religion but without God. .

  61. Pch101 says:

    @john430:

    You’re the one who touts his supposed Catholic credentials on this website.

    From here, you just look like a petty hypocrite who uses his alleged faith to justify his homophobia and petty attitude. Light on the sacred, heavy on the profane.

  64. al-Alameda says:

    @James Pearce:

    Lectures on “white privilege” don’t exactly play well in small rural towns full of white people, but I suppose if you give them health insurance they’ll overlook that.

    James, I understand your point, I really do, but …

    I’m the only liberal among my parents and 8 siblings, and believe me, I’ve heard virtually all the derogatory remarks about liberals and their constituencies that can be made. Many of our family friends are very conservative and I hear the same stuff from them as I do among family members. Now, I’m not thin-skinned, I can take it. However, I’m tired of the constant whining by conservatives that they’re permanently victimized by liberals.

    It’s not as if those salt-of-the-earth rural and alienated conservative suburban white folks never run down or denigrate liberals, refer to California as that place full of fruits and nuts, and stuff like that. It’s a 2 way street, but to hear the opinionista, it’s only liberals. ‘eff that.

    This election has re-sanctified the notion that conservative white people are constant regular victims of liberal condescension and patronizing bullying.

    How about if conservative white folks owning their current economic and social condition and stop complaining about being victimized by liberals? You know, that personal responsibility thing?

  65. john430 says:

    @Pch101: You really are a fool. Catholicism was germane to the thread we were once commenting upon. You dragging my faith around like it was a dirty stick that you want to beat me with is not only an insult to my faith but it shows you to be not only a religious bigot but a closeted KKKlanner. Go back under your rock.

  66. James Pearce says:

    @al-Alameda:

    James, I understand your point

    I’m not sure you do.

    I am not a Trump-supporting conservative. I’m a white male liberal who voted for Obama twice and Hillary this time without reservation, hesitation, or regret. I believe racism is stupid, sexism dumb.

    And yet when Colin Kaepernick, a millionaire frat boy who apparently made it all the way through college without learning a damn thing, tells me – a guy who takes two trains to get to work and won’t make a 60th of his salary in the next 20 years– that I’m privileged because I’m white and he’s oppressed because he’s black, I know it’s bullshit.

    Conservatives know it’s bullshit. Most liberals know it’s bullshit. Politically neutral people know it’s bullshit. How come the social justice types think it’s so compelling?

  67. al-Alameda says:

    @James Pearce:

    And yet when Colin Kaepernick, a millionaire frat boy who apparently made it all the way through college without learning a damn thing, tells me – a guy who takes two trains to get to work and won’t make a 60th of his salary in the next 20 years– that I’m privileged because I’m white and he’s oppressed because he’s black, I know it’s bullshit.

    Actually I do understand.
    Colin Kaepernick represents liberal Democrats? Perhaps to many Trump voters he does. Whatever, these are generally resentful people for whom, if it’s not a guy like Colin, it would be whatever other symbol of liberalism they could latch on to.

    I’m not impressed with these people – they just had a hand in electing a man who is relentlessly unthoughtful, a racist, a crude boor, and much less. To me that reflects more negative on them than it does about Colin Kaepernick.

  68. Pch101 says:

    @john430:

    So you were a Catholic on the other thread, but you aren’t one anymore?

    You hypocrites are hilarious.

  69. James Pearce says:

    @al-Alameda:

    Actually I do understand.

    If you did, you might not have led with this straw man:

    Colin Kaepernick represents liberal Democrats?

    No, Colin Kaepernick just shows that the social justice movement has ideological holes big enough to drive a truck through.

    We rejected the right wing idea that gay people make awful parents, not because it wasn’t true -I mean, I’m sure there some horrible parents in the gay community– but because it wasn’t true all the time. To think that gay people make awful parents would mean you would be wrong some, if not most, of the time.

    The same thing is true if you think white equals privileged and black equals oppressed. You will be wrong sometimes. Thinking this way will lead you to error. It’s inevitable. The only way to avoid it is don’t think that way.

    So I don’t.

  70. john430 says:

    @Pch101:Once again you prove that you can’t read. I was speaking of things being germane to the thread. Is “germane” too big a word for you?

    You are clearly lacking in smarts. You are bigot, a hypocrite, likely a racist and the neighbors think you probably like little girls a bit too much.

    Your mother dresses you funny and you can’t face the fact that you have erotic dreams about her..

    So I don’t.

    Neither do I, James.
    But I’m not going to sanctify resentful conservative white voters because they’re unhappy with the social justice movement.

  77. James Pearce says:

    @al-Alameda:

    But I’m not going to sanctify resentful conservative white voters because they’re unhappy with the social justice movement.

    Unfortunately, I think this “resentful conservative white voters” thing is a YUGE misdiagnosis.

    Trump got over 62 million votes, and not all of them were “resentful conservative white voters” anymore than all of Hillary’s 64 million voters are non-whites who want stuff from the government.

  78. al-Alameda says:

    @James Pearce:

    Unfortunately, I think this “resentful conservative white voters” thing is a YUGE misdiagnosis.

    First, I appreciate your even-handed give and take here.

    Well, I don’t know how to characterize the fact that about 50% of Republican voters have consistently since 2009 embraced the toxic Birther suspicions. I think my “resentful conservative white voters’ is a very mild characterization of the Republican base.

    Yes, of course there are distinct ideological/policy differences between a Republican-Trump voter and a Democratic-Clinton voter, however when I look back at the vitriol and obstruction directed toward a moderate Democrat like Barack Obama, I see no other way to characterize a majority of these people as angry and resentful.

  79. James Pearce says:

    @al-Alameda:

    First, I appreciate your even-handed give and take here.

    Thanks, I don’t want to troll, anger, or own. I want to change minds.

    I see no other way to characterize a majority of these people as angry and resentful.

    And I would agree.

    But after the last few weeks, I can’t say that “angry and resentful” is an exclusive province of the right.
