Hillary Clinton thanks Russia for 'Lifetime Achievement Award' of sanctions

Does anyone care she is sanctioned?

Few, but it's still news.
Relatively unimportant IMO.

But for damned sure they got some clicks from it.

And that's one of the qualifications these days.

On that we agree it’s all about clicks these days above substance

I believe you are wrong here. She isn't trying to do anything to remain relevant. IF you wanted an example of someone trying to remain relevant think Beto O'Rourke.

He is the likely Democratic nominee for Governor of Texas ... of course he is relevant.

Putin was solely responsible for Hillary's loss to Trump as everyone knows. He interfered in the 2016 US election and Trump won. Now can the dried up old hag just go away and leave us the hell alone?

Solely, of course not. But he did help elect Trump. It simply is not clear to what extent his contribution worked to get the job done, but given that Hillary lost by 75,000 votes spread over three states targeted by Russian social media efforts, it would be more than plausible that it was Putin that put Trump over.

How Much Did Russian Interference Affect The 2016 Election?

One of my least favorite questions is: “Did Russian interference cost Hillary Clinton the 2016 election?” The question is newly relevant because of special coun…

Did Russia Affect the 2016 Election? It’s Now Undeniable

In the wake of the Mueller indictment of a Russian troll farm, any attempt to claim that the 2016 election wasn’t affected by Russian meddling is laughable.

Russian Interference in the U.S. Presidential Elections in 2016 and 2020 as an Attempt to Implement a Revolution-like Information Warfare Scheme

Information warfare is tantamount to active measures. While adapting Western theories and terminology, Russians make assumptions aligned with their domestic needs. The whole procedure is designed to conceal methods and tools Soviet spy agencies had brushed up for decades, as confirmed by the...

It was certainly far, far more likely that Clinton had her election stolen from her in 2016 than Trump had his stolen in 2020.

The idea that Hillary could use her Jedi mind tricks to convince Putin not to invade Georgia in 2008 (before she was SecState) or Ukraine in 2014 (after she was SecState) is narcissistic and solipsistic. Not everything is about you. Not everything is about your own country. Other actors on the global stage also have agency.

It's called diplomacy, and Hillary failed.

If she had gone to the Russia-Georgia border in 2008, as a random senator from the president's opposing party, in an attempt to reach a diplomatic agreement, Republicans would have called her a traitor and demanded she be locked up for violating the Logan Act.

I'm sure there's a Devil Went Down to Georgia joke in there somewhere.

Jedi mind tricks are only part of diplomacy in Star Wars, and that's fiction.

I could just reposition a couple of these names in slightly different positions... and be in full agreement with this post. But Hillary's name might not be in there at all.
 
Its astonishing how differently Hillary gets treated, than a lot of presidential nominees of both parties since 1968 who did not get 51.1 percent of the general election vote.

Because you believe the list was kept secret?

Also, the woman has over 30M followers on twitter alone. Don't think she is as irrelevant even now as you are attempting, even if she isn't (and shouldn't) going to be President in the future.

30 years of AM radio hatred has done this.
Look at how ANY woman who doesn't bow to the feet of Trump is treated. "Hag" "cackles" "slept their way to the top".

She failed miserably as Secretary of State in forging diplomacy and partnership with Russia.

This is indisputable.

She failed at forging partnership with an enemy nation?? If only Cordell Hull could have forged a partnership with Nazi Germany...

Because it couldn't possibly be the fact that she was included on the short list of those being sanctioned, despite her not being in office and a lot of people who are currently in office being left off?

Was Trump left off?
