Hulu Hillary Documentary. And then, her candidacy?


She reflected on the public's perception of her career and life, dealt with in "Hillary," which is directed by Nanette Burstein and based on 35 hours of interviews with Clinton. (And water-boarding is defined as "torture"? Can you imagine being on crew, or...the film editor? - DD)

"I didn't do a good enough job to break through a lot of the perceptions that were out there," she said. "It was quite common (No it wasn't. - DD) for people who knew me … to shake their heads at the way I was portrayed." (Awwwww...The horror and indignity of it all; dirty deeds from the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. - DD)

And while she would "blow it off, brush it off," she said, "perhaps I could have and should have found ways to better present myself and deal with misperceptions that were out there," she said.
Yeah, Hillary's problem are the "misperceptions" about her. We don't know who she really is. We just don't know the real, loving, caring, wholesome, altruistic, ethical, moral, deeply faith-based Hillary. Lawdy, Lawday! The Hulu doc will change all of our minds and we'll recognize ourselves for the deplorables that we are. Has any other woman in history - ever - been so wronged?
 
She's running. She's waiting for the current DEM clown candidates to destroy each other and then...she steps out from behind the curtain. Or, there's always Jimmy Carter!

Cory Booker blames DNC for lack of diversity of DEM presidential candidates.

Angry Spartacus

OH HO...this is Rich!

After Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) announced Tuesday she was ending her campaign for president, some supporters were shocked and some megadonors were frantic, trying to get their recently donated money back.

But to many — including several other presidential candidates — the immediate reaction to her departure was what it meant for the Dec. 19 Democratic debate: Namely, that the event may now have an all-white stage.

“I’m a little angry, I have to say, that we started with one of the most diverse fields in our history, giving people pride,” Sen. Cory Booker (N.J.), who is among the nonwhite presidential candidates who have yet to qualify for this month’s debate, told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes on Tuesday night. “And it’s a damn shame now that the only African American woman in this race, who has been speaking to issues that need to be brought up, is now no longer in it.”
[.]
For many critics, the question was how this historically diverse class of candidates has faded to white — at least on the national debate stage — before February’s Iowa caucuses. To Booker, part of the problem is that this cycle’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee’s qualifying rules are “preferencing millionaires and billionaires.”
 Yeah, it's the DNC's fault. Blame them. But - but - Diversity is their Strength!

When does Hillary step in and save the DEMS? She's on a listening tour.


In an email to supporters, the 2008 and 2016 [Hillary Clinton, the]  presidential candidate said, “I’d like to hear what you’re thinking.”

While she isn’t talking about running for president a third time, Clinton said that she has been talking to people about key issues, including immigration reform and electing Democrats “at all levels” in 2020.

I’ve been traveling and talking with folks around the world about their plans for the rest of the year. Some members of this team are doubling down on issues from voting rights to immigration reform, while others are focused on electing Democrats at all levels in 2019 and 2020. Like you, they’re all thinking about how we can best work toward making our country a place where the values we share are front and center — in our policy and in the way we treat each other,” she wrote for her group, “Onward Together.”

Clinton has recently been weighing in regularly on President Trump, just this weekend mentioning the reports he asked Ukraine’s president to look into consulting done in the country by Joe Biden’s son.

What’s more, she will soon embark on another national tour, this time to promote a book she and her daughter Chelsea wrote about women titled The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience.
There's a decent amount of chatter out there that it's Hillary bringing down Biden. If true, it makes sense. While the DNC claims they want nothing to do with her as a 2020 candidate, why would anyone believe the DNC. Or Hillary. Or that they wouldn't be colluding to take-down the current DEM front-runner candidates and whoosh...in steps The Always-Been A Yankees Fan, saving their party and saving our democracy. Who wouldn't enjoy a second Hillary vs President Donald Trump rematch? Well, I guess the DEMS and Hillary Rodham maybe not so much.

 What parent wouldn't list their child's name first on a book they "wrote"? Only Hillary. Note the resurrected 'Rodham'.

I'll go out on a limb here. Not a word in the book was written by Chelsea or Hillary. Except the Acknowledgment page to all their sycophants and partners in crime. I wonder if they gave a shout out to John Podestaphile?

CBS (via Yahoo): Hillary Rodham Clinton calls President Trump a "corrupt human tornado." (There's a reason 'The Rodham' is back. This is more than optics).

Hillary Tweets Trump is a "clear and present danger."


Hillary is the one who, during the presidential debates, said that anyone not accepting the results of our election is a threat to out democracy.

She needs some Pelosi Spackling Paste. (I'm just trying to help...)

The Revered Cone of Silence

And I thought the Cone of Silence was awesome...well it is, but check out...

...Science Daily - Spectral Cloaking:
Most current cloaking devices can fully conceal the object of interest only when the object is illuminated with just one color of light. However, sunlight and most other light sources are broadband, meaning that they contain many colors. The new device, called a spectral invisibility cloak, is designed to completely hide arbitrary objects under broadband illumination.

Ars Technia - 1990 Technology For 2018:
I decided to enroll the Macintosh IIsi as my main computing system for a while. A 1990 bit of gear would now go through the 2018 paces. Just how far can 20MHz of raw processing power take you in the 21st century?
So how does 20MHz fare in 2018? You'll have to read the story.

You've seen it, you've perhaps interfaced with it without even knowing. So, WTF is Dark Pattern Design? TechCrunch:
Manipulative timing is a key element of dark pattern design. In other words when you see a notification can determine how you respond to it. Or if you even notice it. Interruptions generally pile on the cognitive overload — and deceptive design deploys them to make it harder for a web user to be fully in control of their faculties during a key moment of decision.

Remember this story when the U.S. - some day - thinks that this is the panacea to everything. ZD Net: India's digital Universal ID program is deeply flawed[.]
When the Indian government embarked on the plan to issue a compulsory nationwide universal identification (UIDAI) and accompanying digital payment system, the idea was that technology would act as an efficient tool for service delivery as well as a panacea for rampant corruption.
Well..how do you think it worked out?

A: Just as planned
B: It tanked, sucked and made things worse
C: It caused Pennywise  to appear

Hungary Refuses To Bow To the EU’s Imperial Technocracy[.]
[.]
The Hungarian government and in particular the prime minister, Viktor Orban, are continually denounced for their alleged violations of EU values. The mainstream Western media have picked up the message that it is okay to hate Hungary.
"What are EU Values?", has to be the answer/question to a Jeopardy Daily Double under the category "Extreme and Laughable Oxymorons."

NextGov: There is no White House Cyber Coordinator.
White House National Security Adviser John Bolton eliminated the cybersecurity coordinator position soon after taking office in May.
The elimination was greeted with consternation by many cyber analysts who believed [...] U.S. cyber policy, was too complex to be subsumed into broader White House operations.
This is a very valid concern.

Security Week: Facebook app exposes data of 120 million: 
...privacy bug on Nametests.com resulted in the data of over 120 million users who took personality quizzes on Facebook to be publicly exposed.

Patched as part of Facebook’s Data Abuse Bounty Program, the vulnerability resided in Nametests.com serving users’ data to any third-party that requested it, something that shouldn’t normally happen.
I have such a hard time believing that the numerous data breaches of Facebook are "accidental."
