THIS JUST IN! BILL CLINTON'S DOG WHISTLES WIN HILLARY OVER!

BULLY BOY PRESS &     CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE


REACHED FOR COMMENT BY THESE REPORTERS, CRANKY CLINTON DENIED ANY FEARS OVER POSSIBLE FALL OUT FROM THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY, "WHERE ARE THEY GOING TO GO ANYWAY?  I AM THEIR QUEEN.  NO, THIS IS JUST BILL DOING WHAT HE DOES BEST.  HAVING HIM ANOTHER SISTER SOULJAH MOMENT TO TRANSLATE TO WHITE PEOPLE THAT WE KNOW HOW TO KEEP THOSE PEOPLE IN THEIR PLACE.  AND WE DO.  GET ON MY WRONG SIDE AND WE'LL THROW THOSE SUPER PREDATORS BACK IN PRISON FOR A GENERATION.  LIKE WE DID IN THE 90S."






War Hawk and overweight pig at the trough Hillary Clinton made news today when she insisted that Senator Bernie Sanders had not "done his homework" on bank deregulation.

The sense of entitlement Hillary has always gets her into trouble.

Which is how the woman whose actions are the subject of an ongoing FBI investigation could date to criticize anyone else on having not done their homework.

Against all guidelines -- and common sense -- Hillary Diane Clinton set up her own e-mail server while serving as Secretary of State and used her own e-mail account.

This action put national security at risk.

Hillary Rodham Clinton has since insisted that she made a mistake.

But the reality is that she didn't do her homework.

If she had, she wouldn't be the subject of a federal investigation.

The one time First Lady also 'distinguished' herself on the topic of Iraq, of course.

She voted for the Iraq War and supported it for years.  She found her 'objection' to it only after public opinion turned against it.

At which point, Clinton was forced to comment in some way and did so by insisting that to was a "mistake."

It's been a "mistake" for various reasons though, of late, she's favored the excuse that the "mistake" was in trusting Bully Boy Bush.

Trusting Bully Boy Bush?

Yes, she tried to play the wronged woman in public yet again knowing that pathetic display earned her applause in the nineties.

Poor, poor, pitiful Hillary.

Her husband cheats on her.

She just didn't know.

But, of course, she did.

Bill cheated on her for decades.

Why does a woman stay in a marriage where her husband always strays?

Is Hillary really so physically unappealing that she thinks no other man would ever want her?

Is she so filled with self-loathing that she thinks she deserves to be repeatedly cheated on over and over?

Maybe it was greed?

At WSWS, Andre Damon notes:


Hillary Clinton, the Democratic frontrunner, has, together with her ex-president husband, made over $140 million in the eight years since the 2008 financial crash. She garnered a substantial portion of this wealth in speaking fees from major corporations and banks. In the first 15 months after she left her post as secretary of state in 2012, Clinton received $5 million in speaking fees, putting her squarely in the top 0.1 percent of income earners. Such payouts are, in the world of American politics, nothing more than a form of legalized bribery.


Greed can be a powerful motivator for staying in a marriage that brings so much public humiliation repeatedly.


Or  she maybe just like playing the victim?

Some people do get off on playing the victim.

Strangely, those who make a show out of playing the victim rarely are able to offer real or fake sympathy for actual victims.

Harper Neidig (THE HILL) reports Bernie

A CBS reporter tweeted that she asked the Vermont senator about Clinton's calls for him to apologize to Sandy Hook victims because of his stance against holding gun manufacturers liable for gun crimes. Sanders reportedly responded by saying that Clinton should apologize to the victims of the Iraq War, which she voted in favor of as a senator.

Votes have consequences.

Many Iraqis have been killed (over a million), many more have been wounded.  Many US troops have been killed, many more wounded.

Hillary, however, has been sitting pretty.

And she doesn't feel for the real victims of the Iraq War, she only feels and frets for herself.

THIS JUST IN! CRANKY CLINTON'S KEEPING IT REAL!

BULLY BOY PRESS &     CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

A STRING OF SEVEN LOSSES IN A ROW ISN'T DETERRING CRANKY CLINTON.


"WHEN I TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE," SHE INSISTED TO THESE REPORTERS TODAY, "THE LINCOLN BEDROOM WILL BE CALLED 'THE MARY TODD.'  NOT ONLY THAT, LITTLE CUPCAKE JUSTIN BIEBER -- OR JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE -- WHICH EVER OF THEM IS YOUNGER AND STILL AT THEIR SEXUAL PEAK WILL BE DECLARED 'WHITE HOUSE STUD.'  IF CATHERINE THE GREAT COULD HAVE HORSES, WHO'S TO SAY MAMA CAN'T BREAK HERSELF OFF A FEW POP TARTS.  YOU FEEL ME?  YOU BETTER!"





She said yes to war and, increasingly, America is again saying no to her.

Senator Bernie Sanders has won the Democratic Party's Wisconsin primary.


US House Rep and Iraq War veteran Tulsi Gabbard Tweeted:





    • Earlier today, Jake Tapper observed on CNN's THE LEAD WITH JAKE TAPPER that a win in Wisconsin would be Bernie's sixth win in a row.

    Who has the momentum?

    Chew on that.








    Some are noting that in the same contest in 2008, Barack beat Hillary by only 2% more.  (Some figures for Bernie's win have him at 57.8%.)

    That's not surprising.

    As we noted back in February, based on what we were seeing on the college campuses we spoke on, Bernie's connecting in the same way Barack did.

    The media narrative of Barack Obama?

    Bernie Sanders holds those positions.

    Bernie voted against the Iraq War, actually voted against it, unlike Hillary.

    It was an issue for young voters in 2008 and it remains one in 2016.

    Hillary failed to inspire in 2008, she fails to inspire in 2016.

    She's running for president because . . . her husband was president?

    Where is the enthusiasm, where is the inspiration, where is the reason for her campaign?




    Where is the enthusiasm for Hillary?


    She's always been a divisive figure.

    She's always been unpopular.

    And what, other than fear, would drive people to vote for her in a general election?

    Maybe they like her lust for war?

    Iraq lies in ruins, the people continue to suffer and Hillary's done nothing to atone for her "mistake" (her term) in voting for and supporting the Iraq War.

    THIS JUST IN! FRESH BLOOD, CRANKY NEEDS FRESH BLOOD!

    BULLY BOY PRESS &     CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE

    CRANKY CLINTON PREPARED FOR HER WISCONSIN BLOOD BATH TODAY BY . . . WELL, BATHING IN BLOOD.

    EXPLAINED CRANKY, "I NEED THE BLOOD OF VIRGINS AND NEWBORNS.  CLEARLY, WITH MY HUSBAND, I HAVE TO BE VERY WARY OF ALLOWING THE VIRGINS MUCH MOVEMENT OF MOTION.  BUT THIS IS WHAT I DO.  WE ALL HAVE OUR SUPERSTITIONS AND MINE IS THAT WITHOUT THE BLOOD FROM FRESH KILLS, I WILL NOT WIN.  SO THAT'S WHAT I DO.  THAT'S HOW I PREP.  I'M SURE IT SEEMS BORING.  BUT I'M JUST A REGULAR PERSON."

    "PEOPLE OFTEN MISS THAT," CRANKY INSISTED AS SHE RUBBED THE BLOOD OF THE DEAD ON HER FACE.  






    Haider al-Abadi is the current prime minister of Iraq.  He was installed by US President Barack Obama in August of 2014. 

    He hasn't been very successful.

    He was supposed to come up with a political solution to address the country's various crises but he's been unable or unwilling to do that and Sunnis continue to feel persecuted because . . . they are being persecuted.

    This persecution began under the previous prime minister Nouri al-Maliki.  It led to the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq.  It continues to fuel the Islamic State in Iraq.

    But Haider ignores that and so much more.

    Mainly, he ignores the Constitution.

    He took it upon himself, for example, to declare that Iraq had no vice presidents -- supposedly ousting three people out of their jobs.

    But they still haven't been removed.  And it was really against the Constitution to go about it the way Haider did.

    Ayad Allawi, Osama al-Nujafi and Nouri al-Maliki are the three vice presidents.

    Currently, Haider's attempting to circumvent the Constitution again.

    This time he wants to dispose of the Cabinet of Ministers and replace them with a new set of nominees.

    That notions has already run into hiccups -- see Saturday's snapshot.

    Another hiccup's emerged today.

    Parliament's declaring that they will vote yes or no on his nominees . . . in batches. 

    Not all at once as he'd hoped.


    Other problems he's facing include talks of a coup and, more recently, talk that a foreign government is eager to see him replaced.


    ALSUMARIA reports Ayad Allawi is denying reports that during his visit with Frank Baker, the British ambassador to Iraq, the two discussed the need to replace Haider al-Abadi as prime minister.

    That Allawi had to deny it says a great deal about just how believable the rumor is.

    THIS JUST IN! CRANKY RODHAM MILHOUSE NIXON!!!!

    BULLY BOY PRESS &     CEDRIC'S BIG MIX -- THE KOOL AID TABLE


    REACHED FOR COMMENT, CRANKY DID NOT DENY HER LIES AND EVEN WENT SO FAR AS TO INSIST THAT IT WAS A WINNING STRATEGY.

    "AFTER ALL," SHE CACKLED, "LYING GOT RICHARD NIXON ELECTED NOT ONCE BUT TWICE.  IT WILL WORK FOR ME TOO!"



    Yesterday, the White House issued the following statement:





    The White House
    Office of the Vice President
    For Immediate Release
    April 01, 2016

    Readout of Vice President Biden’s Call with Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi of Iraq

    The Vice President spoke today with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi to discuss the latest political and security developments in Iraq. The Vice President welcomed the Prime Minister's political reform efforts and reaffirmed continued U.S. support for steps, in concert with Iraqi political leaders, to strengthen transparency, national unity, and accountability.  The Vice President also underscored the critical importance of sustaining  momentum in the fight against ISIL and reviewed ongoing U.S. efforts to support Iraqi Security Forces.  The Vice President commended the Prime Minister for engaging constructively with the IMF to address fiscal challenges and unlock access to international financial assistance.




    On political developments?

    Elections.

    We tried to make a point repeatedly this week.  Some caught it, some didn't.

    You either oppose the notion that a new Cabinet can just be created or you pretend that Iraq didn't hold elections in 2014.


    Haider's just going to form a new Cabinet.

    That only happens after an election.

    Iraq did have elections in 2014.



    From the May 19, 2014 snapshot:





    Reuters reports, "Preliminary results on Monday showed Maliki won at least 94 seats, far more than his two main Shi'ite rivals, the movement of Muqtada Sadr, which picked up 28 seats, and the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq (ISCI), which won 29 seats."  Press TV reports, "Results released by Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission on Monday showed that the premier’s State of Law alliance garnered 92 out of 328 parliamentary seats. Maliki’s bloc won 30 seats in the capital Baghdad alone and won the first spot in 10 out of 18 provinces overall, while his main rivals are said to have gained between 19 and 29 seats in total." Sinan Salaheddin and Sameer N. Yacoub (AP) reports 92 as well and point out, "He will still need to approach other parties to piece together a broader majority coalition to get the first crack at forming a government as violence rages and instability grows."  Duraid Adnan and Tim Arango (New York Times) point out that these are "initial results -- still subject to challenges from various political parties" while stating Nouri won 93 seats.



    But if elections took place, how can a Haider al-Abadi in 2016 propose a new Cabinet?

    He can't.

    Not per the Constitution of Iraq.

    One member of the Cabinet can be ousted this way:


    Eighth: 
    A. The Council of Representatives may withdraw confidence from one of the Ministers by an absolute majority and he is considered resigned from the date of the decision of confidence withdrawal. The issue of no confidence in the Minister may be tabled only on that Minister's wish or on a signed request of fifty members after an inquiry discussion directed at him. The Council of Representatives shall not issue its decision regarding the request except after at least seven days of its submission. 


    The entire Cabinet can be ousted this way:


    D. In case of a vote of withdrawal of confidence in the Cabinet as a whole, the Prime Minister and the Ministers continue in their positions to run everyday business for a period not to exceed thirty days until a new cabinet is formed in accordance with the provisions of article 73 of this constitution. 


    But since when does the US government, the White House, really support rule of law in Iraq?


    Never.

    The only way a new Cabinet can be proposed is following elections.

    Otherwise?

    Otherwise, the Cabinet has to be shut down by Parliament via a vote withdrawing confidence.


    Where is the faith in rule of law?

    The US State Dept loves to give lip service to the rule of law in Iraq when it benefits their goals, otherwise they stay silent.

    The United Nations and the White House could've called for new elections in Iraq if they wanted a new Cabinet.

    But,per the Constitution, short of that the only way a new Cabinet comes about is via a vote of no-confidence in the Parliament.

    The rule of law is followed or it's not.

    AL MADA notes that the proposed Cabinet was greeted earlier this week by a statement from KRG president Massoud Barzani who declared Haider's proposal had no importance and that it was long ago cleared there was no true partnership in the current government.

    What's really amazing is how little objections to Haider's proposed Cabinet is covered by the international press.


    There was an election in Iraq today.  Ammar al-Hakim was re-elected as the leader of the (Shi'ite) political body the Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq.  And ISCI issued a statement that any political reforms (the Cabinet) should not weaken the law or increase political differences.


    ALL IRAQ NEWS notes Ammar issued a statement as well when he noted reform did not equal proposing a new Cabinet.

    Ammar held a press conference today where he expressed surprise by Haider al-Abadi's proposal to reform the Cabinet.  This as NATIONAL IRAQI NEWS AGENCY reports that there is strong division in Parliament over Haider's proposed Cabinet with some likening Haider's proposals to the start of a "dictatorship."

    Meanwhile AL MADA notes that the Kurds continue to demand 20% of the positions on any new Cabinet while Haider's nominees are facing criticism from Sunni political blocs.

    But it's the Shi'ite criticism that's emerging and the most vocal.  IRAQ TIMES notes State of Law MP Kazem al-Sayadi has declared that, no way, no how, will any former member of the Ba'ath Party sit in the Cabinet.

    In addition, ALSUMARIA reports that the Coalition of National Forces are also voicing objection to Haider's proposal with MP Khaled Mafraji declaring that what Haider has done is both incorrect and illegal.
