Also, it's looking more and more like WJC actually did assault at least some of those women.
And then there's Kathy Shelton (who was not a WJC victim, she's the one HRC abused in court with lies). She is one of the best examples of what a genuine rape victim looks like. You read her story, you watch her interviews-- you know that poor girl was horribly victimized. Shelton talks about her experiences with a simple acceptance, tinged with regret and sadness, that comes from years and years of private therapy to cope with the physical and psychological damage from the traumatic experience. She is the opposite of an XoJane attention whore. She's the opposite of Mattress Girl. She's clearly a genuine victim who deserves support and sympathy.

Representative Gabbard, We were very disappointed to hear that you would resign your position with the DNC so you could endorse Bernie Sanders, a man who has never been a Democrat before. When we met over dinner a couple of years ago I was so impressed by your intellect, your passion, and commitment to getting things done on behalf of the American people. For you to endorse a man who has spent almost 40 years in public office with very few accomplishments, doesn't fall in line with what we previously thought of you. Hillary Clinton will be our party's nominee and you standing on ceremony to support the sinking Bernie Sanders ship is disrespectful to Hillary Clinton. A woman who has spent the vast majority of her life in public service and working on behalf of women, families, and the underserved. You have called both myself and Michael Kives before about helping your campaign raise money, we no longer trust your judgement so will not be raising money for your campaign.

As a former criminal defense lawyer who defended accused rapists myself, I am utterly unmoved by the Shelton story. "Abused in court with lies?" That sounds like the framing "Rape Culture" advocates make. How are we to know what are "lies?" As I say to many people, it's the jury's job to decide what happened - I wasn't there, and the prosecutor wasn't there, either.
But the Shelton story feeds into the "Rape Culture" hysteria just as much, because it promotes the idea that accused rapists should not get the zealous defense the law orders.
Anyways, the accused in that case got convicted of a lesser charge and served a year in jail.
The rest of Bill's "victims" are scorned women and pump-n-dumped attention whores.

Quote:As part of her handling of the case, Clinton filed an affidavit July 28, 1975, requesting that the girl go through a psychiatric examination. “I have been informed that the complainant is emotionally unstable with a tendency to seek out older men and to engage in fantasizing,” Clinton said. “I have also been informed that she has in the past made false accusations about persons, claiming they had attacked her body. Also that she exhibits an unusual stubbornness and temper when she does not get her way.”
Clinton offered no source for the claims.

I did not see it like that. What I saw was an excuse for clandestine operations amounting to possible regime change if the leadership doesn't do what they are told. Turkey in NATO is too important of a buffer strategically to just simply revoke their membership.
They will try to manage that relationship. If that fails, change their leadership. They would not want to indirectly arm a flaky ally in an unstable government.
Look at it this way. Turkey if shunned by the EU and NATO, would ally with Russia for heavy armaments. Do you really think they will let Turkey do that?
They want Turkey to have a missile defense zone closer to Eastern Europe to buffer Russia, but it needs to stabilize more before that happens. That coup attempt hurts that case, but in some ways makes it stronger because they squashed it so easily.

Correct. They screwed the pooch on that one. They will likely try again. Even if Trump wins, unless he grabs the CIA and demands they cease all activities until he reviews them, they will keep on. Maybe even if he tells them to stop. Who knows.
I wonder if the Russians, the Chinese, or others tipped off the Turks, based upon the shitty email security of these Liberals. They probably saw that coup attempt from a 100 miles away.
Either way, our generals and intelligence community may successfully convince Trump to continue trying regime change. Giving up on them might make it easier for them to ally with Russia, which may or may not be a good thing. Depends upon what strategy and things we are should spend money on. If Trump ignore it, I don't see anything wrong with that short term at least, but 20 or 30 years from now, will that decision backfire? Who knows.
EDIT: Trump should be careful not to let generals and Intel people inadvertently work on behalf of the dark side of the NRA and Arms Manufacturers/Defense contractors looking for any excuse possible to sell Turkey armaments for a money reason. If they pursue that agenda, it better not be about money, otherwise he will be a sellout just like Obama and the others are, and nothing will change.

Sure, that's a fair and nuanced view. I just object to the promotion of this "Bill Clinton is a RAPIST" theme based on weak evidence - that is like Mattress Girl, etc.
The evidence does differ. If Broaddrick made a complaint to her friends at the time, that lends credibility - the only problem is that the complaint was not recorded. It's possible he raped her. Willey is almost certainly a liar. Jones, who knows? The original American Spectator story implied she (not named in the story) fucked Bill in a hotel room.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/201...ore-123009
You have probably seen the latest example of the media claiming a released presidential poll from NBC and The Wall Street Journal as an example of Hillary Clinton expanding to an 11 point lead in the weekend following the “controversial” leaked tape of Donald Trump.
The claim is complete and utter nonsense. Here’s the proof.
Transparently the poll is manipulated with: a) a small sample (500); and b) the following ideological make-up:
♦ Republican and Republican leaners 36%
♦ Democrat and Democrat leaners 43%
♦ Independents 12%
By itself that ideological snapshot is silly. Nationally the party registration is roughly 27% ®, 32% (D), and 40% (I) – SEE HERE – However, the polling sample is the least of the issues for this deconstruction.
Arguing about the construct or methodology of the poll is typically what most people do when they are refuting a media poll. That aspect alone is not the big story.
Look at the polling organization:
Do you see: Hart Research Associates/Public Opinion Strategies?
Hart Research Associates is headed up by Peter D Hart (founder), and Geoff Garin (President) – SEE HERE
Now look at what role Geoff Garin, Hart Research Associate President, is currently occupying (link here):
OK, so Mr. Geoff Garin, the President of Hart Research and Associates”, is currently working as “a strategic adviser for Priorities USA in support of Hillary Clinton’s election“. Gee, I wonder why the media never tells us that part?
See the issue?
Wait, we’re not even close to finished. It gets better.
Let’s take a look at the recent financial connection between, Geoff Garin, Hart Research Associates and Hillary Clinton’s Priorities USA Super-PAC.
For that information we turn to FEC filings -HERE-. What do they indicate?
On Page #118 of the September 2016 (most recent) filing we find a payment for $178,500 (screen grab above)
On Page #92 of the same September 2016 (most recent) filing, we find another payment for $42,000 (screen grab below)
♦ $220,500.00 in the month of September alone paid by Hillary Clinton’s Priorities USA Super-PAC to Hart Research Associates.
♦ The President of Hart Research Associates, Geoff Garin, is working for Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
♦ NBC (S Burke) and The WSJ (Murdoch) contact Geoff Garin (Hart Research Associates) for the post-debate poll data they will use on the day following the debate.
♦ Hart Research Associates provides a small national poll sample (500) result, with skewed party internals, showing Hillary Clinton +11 points.
Do you see now how “media polling” works, and why we advise to ignore it?
