Weekly... on the topic of the midterms. Starting Wednesday. There are 2 Wednesdays left before election day. But they're covering the "aftermath" too.
I can't imagine looking to Hillary Clinton to satisfy a hunger for real conversation. I will give this post my "Hillary goes away" tag. Somewhat perversely, but you know what I mean. I am so tired of these midterms! I've never seen midterms get so much attention. But I know they are all that saves me from being plunged into the 2028 presidential race, and I don't know how I will take what will be the 7th presidential race in the history of this blog.

"hopefully a lot of laughter."
"Hope" is doing some heavy lifting there. Hope springs infernal.
…two wrongs do not make a right…
…what a fucking phony journalist Swisher turned out to be- trying to weasel out of her contract a few weeks early not because someone asked her to do something against principle but because leftie…
Hillary was in Omaha last Saturday. About 300 people attended the event which was at the same time as the biggest UNL football game in years.
"I am thrilled to be here with so many Nebraska Democrats," said Clinton, the former first lady, U.S. senator and secretary of state who lost to Trump in the 2016 general election. "We just have to stay focused and on task, and turn out the vote and celebrate when we take back the House and the Senate."
She said Democrats have an opportunity to "begin to repair what's deliberately been broken," criticizing the Trump administration, particularly the One Big, Beautiful Bill.
Clinton called the legislation a tax cut for billionaires and said its effects on cutting health care are just starting to emerge. She also said the president pivots attention from economic issues to ones that divide people by their identities. "
Note well that neither the Dem candidate for Governor and the House - both women - were not at the event.
Dividing people by identities is what the Dems do.
"...our democracy..."
Hard pass.
"Reeeeeeel Conversation" with Hillareeeeeee Clinton.
I would rather watch an internet ad than a Hillary podcast but it’s close.
“And the Chinese guy said,, two wongs don’t make a white.” That’s one you can almost, barely, get away with.
These two women are the two most unlikable in America. Swisher is a real piece of work. Nasty!
“I can't imagine looking to Hillary Clinton to satisfy a hunger for real conversation.”
Well, she’ll spoil their appetite, so that sort of counts.
The discussion should be about Democrat party corruption - and the schemes and billions and billions of fraud.
it should also be about Voter ID.
Prediction - 2028 Presidential election cycle will be way more exciting and consequential than people expect. D side will be fun to watch. R side will be interesting just to see what "others" jump in.
Hillary is excited for Impeachment theater to return.
In our Democratic or majority rule nation of super eelegates.
Unsavory aftermath. Somebody will get Vince Fostered, and then Buddy'd (Clintons' dog).
Swisher? Swish swish, swish swish... Hmmm wonder where Laslo is?
Hillary - will never be president. But he Clinton Foundation is awash in corrupt money whore heights.
Include me out.
Just what we need - more words. It's a word desert out here.
Why not " Hillary won't go "
Never forget Benghazi.
Hilary simply won't go away, will she? Power, control, and MONEY are great attractors.
They abandoned that civil servant to die at the hands of fanatics paraded through the streets half alive. Hillary got blood on her hands.

Hillary is supposedly "friends" with Susie Buffet. That's probably why she visited Omaha. And she was probably paid too.
Say what you will about Sarah Palin. When the time came she made her quiet exit. Not Hillary.
Speaking of Mangione morality, here's Hillary's new podcast poder, Ms. Swisher:
"Reflecting on [John McLaughlin's] death from prostate cancer in 2016, she wrote, "I'm so glad he's dead. Seriously, I'm glad he's dead. He was a jackass. He deserved it."
Think about it.
Hillary could have been the Leader of the Free World and Commander-in-Chief. We could have enjoyed peace and prosperity with President HRC.
But she got cheated by Obama and Trump. Cheated! Discrimination!
And now she has to visit Omaha and talk to 300 Dem loons on a beautiful Fall Saturday. Omaha! Gag!
But at least she's rich and has the undying love of Bill.
BTW, the photo of Hillary in the OWH was of her butt. I kid you not.
No they drove her out and trash people like harris and ocasio cortez are celebrated
Kara Swisher in the Autumn 2026 Vanity Fair.
"Q: What words or phrases that you most overuse?
A: Enragement equals engagement - but it is a good one, so it is fine to repeat.
Q What is it that you most dislike?
A: The grievance grifter industrial complex."
LOL. That's the entire Democrat party!
Yes, I hope Hillary brings her well known sense of humor to the podcast. I look forward to gales of laughter.
Weird how the D's and the Establishment are always talking about "our Democracy' instead of "our country".
Poor ann.
All these years working her blog and she's reduced to plugging the Hillary and Kara podcast...
Yes, Hillary, do tell us "what is happening to our Democracy."
Let's start with a candidate and her incumbent administration manufacturing false "evidence" that her opponent is really a Russian asset. All while officials in that very same administration are raking in money (and diamonds) from Russia, Ukraine, China and other foreign actors.
It has become a cliche, but you can tell Hillary's criminal actions by what she accuses her opponents of doing. Not many people earn my "evil" designation, but she's on the short list.

Very telling indeed. They do think of it as "our democracy." The democracy that they own, control, rig and cheat to achieve and maintain power.
Begley: “Note well that neither the Dem candidate for Governor and the House - both women - were not at the event.” So that means both WERE at the event?
"People are hungry for real conversation"
Is this why so many bluesky users are migrating back to X? Echo chambers are calorie dense but have the nutritional profile of powdered sugar.
"Our democracy"
All 8.3 billion of us!
Buzz Patterson on X has personal experience in dealing with Hillary. He was the military aide who carried the "football" and the launch codes. Read on:
"On a Clinton official state visit to Mexico City, we were finally done with the events and were heading back to DC. Everybody was excited to get home. Our itinerary was to move from the hotel to the airport on Marine One and then onto Air Force One for the flight home. I was with the president and First Lady on Marine One, the lead helicopter in a formation that included staff and press.
After we lifted off and were halfway to the airport, Hillary suddenly blurted out, “Turn around! Put this back on the ground! I left my sunglasses in the limo!” The Secret Service guys and I exchanged side glances and rolled eyes. I hopped to, of course. I chatted with the pilots and the Secret Service. It wasn’t safe to turn around.
Marine One was almost to the join-up point with AF One at the airport. AF-1 was ready to go, and the press plane was as well. These trips were logistical challenges. Back at the hotel landing zone, the Secret Service, the White House Communications Agency, and administration staff were pulling down communications lines, lifting barricades, and driving off in vehicles. The required support for even a helicopter flight was highly involved and extensive, and there was no landing zone security left. The secure launch site no longer existed.
At this point, it wasn’t a good idea to turn around. I approached her, “Ma’am, we can’t do that. We can’t safely do that.” Hillary responded, “I need my sunglasses, god****it! We need to go back!”
Then one of the onboard Secret Service agents chimed in, “Yes, ma’am, the milaide is correct. That wouldn’t be wise.” I suggested that I radio back, ask the staffers to locate the sunglasses, and ask one of the White House valets to bring them home on their flight. She calmed down and acquiesced, but not without smoldering disdain in her eyes. Security be damned, those were her sunglasses! Bill just shrugged and went back to reading his book. The valets and staffers still at the hotel went to work and located the sunglasses in the Clintons’ hotel room. They were safely returned to Hillary the next day.
I’ve been shot at in combat by guys who wanted to kill me. I think at that moment, she did too. Trips without Hillary were akin to Animal House, a frat party. Trips with her always had a Nazi-like edge. Hard to tell which was worse. I preferred the frat parties.
That was Hillary Clinton. And, I have no doubt, it still is."
...and recipes from her extensive email list, no doubt...
Lucien:
The two female candidates were NOT at the event with Hillary. I would have thought they would have enjoyed meeting and being in the presence of such an iconic and historic figure. But they must have determined that it would help them get elected. And both can win.
Hillary turning up for the Democrats is like Trump trying to help Republicans. Only the die hard smooth brains can stomach either one.
Is this “al Qaeda is on our side in Syria” Hillary, “We came. We saw. He died[chortle guffaws]” Hillary? Israel considers the Libya operation a success because rule of law has collapsed, slave markets in public squares, same as they don’t give a crap about the massacres of Christians in Syria.
Annual winner of the Mrs. Hypergamy contest from 1975 - 2016 has, in all her years of alleged public service, uttered only two memorable lines...and memorable only for their unintended irony: "Vast right-wing conspiracy," and "At this point, what difference does it make?" A podcast with her? No thanks.
I'm hungry for Hillary to take a vow of silence.
I'm all for this podcast, as long as we can make John Cornyn listen to loops of it, for all time going forward.

I've never wished a woman dead, but I will read some obituaries with great pleasure.
*Hillary turning up for the Democrats is like Trump trying to help Republicans. Only the die hard smooth brains can stomach either one.*
You really are stupid. One is the President of the United States who packs arenas night after night stumping for candidates.
The other is a washed up, vicious drunk who's despised by every one around her.
The Nobel Committee gave the Peace Prize to an anti-Semite this year.
Trump will end the war with Iran soon. But Trump will never win the Peace Prize because the people on the committee are irrational partisans. Obama never deserved the Peace Prize.
I really want to miss Hillary. But how can we miss her if she won't go away?
Who could have possibly thought this is a good idea? Boomer women must be deranged if they are looking for a Hillary Clinton podcast.
…if people hungry for real conversation bite in to what they’re cooking- explosive diarrhea Summer extends into Fall…
If this doesn't work out, maybe Hills can join the podcast with Norm Eisen and Maggie Haberman.
It would be like the old days of Radio Free Europe, broadcasting beyond the MAGA curtain. We could call it Resistance Radio - or better yet, Radio Free Shigella.
The Hillary plot is like this just-encountered action novel teaser summary "He doesn't count on getting to know a mother and her boy who reminds him of his own troubled childhood. When both vanish, only Victor seems to notice."
Great, another troubled childhood. That's about 150 pages of tripe in the middle of your action novel. Next!
"Annual winner of the Mrs. Hypergamy contest from 1975 - 2016"
Copyright that gold.
Elections are about results but also about results vs expectations. If the Ds get shut out (no house, no senate), that's going to set off a new whirlwind that Hillary wants to help direct from her podcast. Hence the need to cover the aftermath - in case the Ds activate Antifa.
How many times can one light their hair on fire and still have anything left to burn?
@MadTownGuy said... 'That was Hillary Clinton. And, I have no doubt, it still is." ....'
I read that account and it didn't escape my notice that Hillary was shrieking about going back to the landing site for the sunglasses she 'left in the limo' - and all the time, she had actually left them in the hotel room.
Once again reminded of what a bullet we dodged as a nation.
We are a Constitutional republic - not a democracy.

I look forward to gales of laughter.

Cackles from Cankles...
Tell that to the 8 billion or so non-citizens of the USA that care so much about their economic zone known as "our democracy".
Demos-cracy is aborted in darkness, under a Democratic den of vice and vice versa.
Oh! "Hillary goes away." My bad. When I first read it, I thought it was "Hillary goes awry."
"People are hungry for a real conversation ..."
We have "real conversations" every day. They stop when politicians get involved and impose their own conclusions and "solutions" to every "problem."
Who's uglier, Hillary or Kara Swisher.
Both. Ugh.
Who's uglier, Hillary or Kara Swisher.
Both. Ugh.
How will Althouse take the 7th Presidential election of her blog's duration? Vote Democrat. You will soon be relieved of all concern about future elections.
Ann will vote as meade tells her.
The country is getting violent and the former law prof cant speak up,for the first amendment or rule of law, so busy downing brewskis and cheering her team...
The Dems must not be confident. The only people who are hungry for Hillary are ladies who buy out the cat food stocks at Walmart twice a month. It's all about turnout now.
Every vote counts. Vote! And Vote for the Republican no matter what. I know, I know, but the time to send a message was the primaries. That time has passed. It will come again, but don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
Go away, Hillary. We haven't changed our minds about you. We've had enough, which was too much.
Most of us have lived long enough to feel justified cynicism and a degree of emotional fatigue about the political machinations and prescriptions of those seeking high office. Still, though we may wish to be less interested in politics, we must resign ourselves to the fact that politics is more interested in us now than it ever was.
Run, Hillmala, run!!!
Russiagate and Mueller all set off by Hillary lying about Trump and working with Obama to destroy Trump's presidency and undo the 2016 election.
And here we are years later, and the MSM treats her as some sort of valid figure with a podcast. Maybe they have Bill Clinton on and he can talk about his wonderful trips to Epstein Island.
pantsuited pantload
your sly chipmunk countenance
so very special
The Darkest day of mitt romney's life - when Hillary lost in 2016. Thank God for Trump.
kfc special
get two crispy far left wings
and the fattest thighs
Ugh, this is her, "How do you do fellow kids?" moment.
Lol misgu.
It's like a copycat bro podcast by and for the gals! (and galloway metrosex types...)
The internal polling must be saying that people don't like the Democratic party they see which is one dominated by Muslim Communists. This is what RFK Jr. is saying. And also, the Jews must have finally realized that the Islamists will always hate them even if the Commies don't. This must all have created an offshore current as it were, a counter current bouncing off the presence or prospect of actual Commies and antisemites running the Dem party. Hillary is hoping to catch a ride on that current. She always knows what’s happening because she works on it. What’s more, she has policies. But she never has been able to use her knowledge and her policies to turn herself into the fashion. She has always lacked that last political gift. Her ambition and greed show. Look at how Althouse is tired of her already.
Hillary’s latest move shows that an earnest women can be Alcibiades in our time. She’s even got the Persian empire behind her.
But they're covering the "aftermath" too.
More like the afterbirth, amirite...?!
Clinton (...) who lost to Trump in the 2016 general election.
This will never not be hilarious.
Nobody wants to hear that old cow say anything about anything I'll wager. Even the gay race communist feminists in Ann Arbor will change channels back to NPR after ten minutes of her. Without a speech writing team and teleprompter she has nothing but cliches. Most pols don't tbh.
Ignoring her becomes easier with each passing year. Make that month. Week. Day. Hour. Minute. Second.
Why aren't I 50 points ahead!!!?
Name a politician, male or female, reviled by so many. Pelosi comes to mind, but I think Hillary wins after the mail in votes are counted.
