This also reminds me of when people blame her and Obama for pulling out of Iraq even though Bush signed the status of forces agreement which set a timeline for the pullout. I got into an argument about it once and the person basically said Obama should have somehow not followed the agreement made with a sovereign…

I don’t even understand the email thing. Like, she had a private server. Okay. Didn’t Colin Powell do that too?

Where’s their outrage over GWB’s embassy deaths? He had the equivalent of 16 Benghazis with 66 embassy-worker deaths .

THE GOP CONTROLLED CONGRESS SLASHED FUNDING FOR EMBASSY SECURITY. FULL STOP.

The irony is that the GOP cut funding for embassy protection in the many austerity driven budgets prior to this happening.

in and of itself? maybe.

I actually had to google Chesney to make sure I had the right guy. Sturgill Simpson Drive by Truckers and Jason Isbell are about the only modern country acts I can identify.

The whole “I wanna vote for a guy I can have a beer with!” faction of the United States, that Republicans have been courting for decades, will ruin us all.

It’s fun and unifying to have a mega-talented entertainer with the broad appeal of Beyonce. She’s our common ground. Our Breakfast at Tiffany’s, if you will! Wanting to be part of something as grand and widespread as Beyonce fandom is easy and completely understandable.

After the Great Castigation, they ended up having to cancel a lot of their American concerts and filled up their tour with more Canadian stops, including my smaller city. Going to that concert was easily one of the top 5 experiences of my life. It was political, and raucous, and feminist and just a great time. Natalie…

It’s bothered me since they became popular that this, like waving the Stars and Bars, is even a thing that’s acceptable in the US. Just shows how profoundly racist and out of touch with its own history this country is. Does “Lady Rhodesia” sound romantic to you? How about “Fraulein Anschluss”? Just ugh.

Fuck that blogger and her claims about what she considers to be true country. Y’know where Willie Nelson got his recording start? Vancouver. As in the one in Washington state, right across the river from Portland. He’s from Texas, but it took moving to the Pacific Northwest for his legend to begin. I’m not saying this…

What galls me is that the Dixie Chicks were burned at the stake for saying that they are ashamed that GWB is from Texas, but Ted Nugent and others are calling for Obama and Hillary to be literally killed and that’s totally fine with the Dixie Chicks haters.

I’ll never forget watching the Dixie Chicks burned at the stake in 2003, in the lead-up to the Iraq War. They were one of my favorite country groups– I loved their vision of American freedom. It was horrible seeing all that creativity trampled under the boot of jingoism.

Yes, how dare Hillary Clinton not be psychic and know that her employee’s husband would get into a scandal years after she hired her employee! It’s outrageous that this woman thinks she can be President of the United States without being clairvoyant, omniscient and in possession of a time machine to vet all of her…

Would it be reasonable for Hillary to fire Huma because her husband behaved badly? By that standard, few women would be employed.

Maybe it’s Dad’s fault his 15 year old daughter had self-esteem issues and wound up sexting with a perv. (To paraphrase Chris Rock.... “If your 15 year old is sexting with a perv, you f**ked up as a dad.”)

“I voted for Clinton but regret it because someone who works for her used to be married to someone who texted a picture of his junk to my teenaged daughter and she maybe checked her email once on her husband’s computer. Hillary didn’t know anything about any of this until last week, and she has never mentioned my…

DIG DEEP AND FIND A WAY, GODDAMMIT!! THIS IS WHAT WE DO!!
