Democratic Convention Live Thread

[DwightShrute]

I will say this, Hillary ain't stupid. She gets away with everything. She lies and lies and steals and is corrupt like no other. She is pure scum.

[stealthyburrito]

I feel like I'm being lectured by my mother.

She sounds mechanical. Unnatural if you will

[Mr KLC]

Look at what happened in Dallas. Look at what what happens every week in Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Los Angeles. See a pattern America?

[Greget]

Yeah. It has been a remarkable week alright. Man from hope and the man of hope. And still so many hopeless in our country.

But many many more with hope.

So many sad pathetic losers here, no wonder Trump's message resonates with them. But losers don't decide elections. That's why Clinton will win, Because America is a nation of winners.

[thetrinity]

She sounds mechanical. Unnatural if you will

she just said something like better behind a desk then in public, even with how bad she is behind a desk, i would tend to agree

[Mr KLC]

No, your job titles don't tell us what you've done. You can't tell us all that you have done because you'd be in orange wear.

[tecmoslayer]

Hillary Clinton = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
After todays shitshow of betting, Hilldog comes through in the clutch.
She's got my vote

[KingJD31]

You're a winner? You're a fuckin ghost you fuckin loser

[Mr KLC]

Morgan Freeman also left out how she got her name - she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary. She says. (It was a lie)

[Greget]

Hope is all you got you broke fuk

I'm not the one who thinks America is a ruined country with no good jobs, that's you sad Trump boy. There is plenty of opportunity if you stop being so negative and apply yourself.

[thetrinity]

You're a winner? You're a fuckin ghost you fuckin loser

i forgot to put him on my ignore list and he popped up i puked in my mouth a little

[The Giant]

Greget believes in Hillary's message in kindness and love for everyone.

Meanwhile, he's calling people names on the Internet.

Liberal logic.

I lived in California for 15 years, I live in Houston, I see and know what's happening. LA has not turned into Mexico, stop being so dramatic. Do you know how many Canadians, Australians, South Africans, Europeans including Italians are living in California right now? Probably more than Mexicans. You don't even know the demographics have changed with them coming into the US by the millions too because they look just like you which you don't consider "dirty". You don't have a problem with them, you just have a problem with Mexicans, probably Africans and most certainly Muslims. Hmmmm, I wonder why?

How did your Grandparents come to the US legally? Please explain? Then tell it to a Native Indian. Why did you mention they worked hard? Do you think migrant Mexicans, which all of us benefit eating the food they pick that we would never do, don't work hard? The only reason they don't pay taxes is because people like Trump hire them to do shitty jobs and hide them off the books so they don't have to pay corporate taxes. It's not the workers that don't want to pay taxes, it's the employers that want to keep them off the books so they can pay them substandard wages. Get a clue.

You obviously think Mexico is a dirty place with dirty people that talk bad. Everyone in Mexico does not want to live in America. There's many place in Mexico that would put the US to shame. Have you ever been to Cuernavaca, Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun, Playa de Carmen? I can introduce you to several Mexicans that live larger than most people here in the US. You think they want to move to Detroit??? Come on man. Stop living in fear. You've had a head start on all these people. Why should you be worried that they come here to make a better life? Aren't you doing the same?

Screw that. california is mexican Why you think it has so many mexican names?Jbibby if you don't like the mexicans than leave

She has many accomplishments. This is just her time as a Senator.


ACTS: MILITARY / VETERANS / FIRST RESPONDERS
• As a U.S. Senator, Clinton was a champion for our service members and veterans. Hillary Clinton was the first New Yorker to serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee and made veterans a main focus. She introduced the Heroes at Home Act in 2006 and 2007 to help family members care for those with Traumatic Brain Injury. She also worked to increase the military survivor benefit from $12,000 to $100,000, and cosponsored the Support for Injured Servicemembers Act to extend benefits provided under the Family and Medical Leave Act. Hillary also worked across the aisle to keep the Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station open during a time when the Pentagon was shuttering bases, which saved 800 jobs in upstate New York.
• Hillary Clinton, as a U.S. Senator, worked with Republicans to expand health care for National Guard members and reservists. According to McClatchy, then-Senator Clinton worked with Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to “provide full military health benefits to reservists and National Guard members.” A statement from Graham’s senate office said, “Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) today announced that the Department of Defense Authorization bill conference report finalized today includes an amendment that will improve TRICARE benefits for National Guard members and Reservists, allowing all members of the Selected Reserve and their families to enroll in TRICARE with an across the board cost-sharing of 28 percent. Today’s victory builds on the Senators’ longstanding commitment to ensuring that members of our National Guard and Reserve and their families have access to the health care benefits they need and deserve.”
• Hillary stepped up for New York in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, fighting hard to secure funds for medical assessment, referrals and outreach for 9/11 rescue and recovery workers, and volunteers.
IMMIGRATION
• As Senator, Hillary Clinton fought to pass the DREAM Act and comprehensive immigration reform, helping to cultivate awareness of the issues in Congress. She introduced the Legal Immigrant Children’s Health Improvement Act, which would give states the option to provide federally funded Medicaid and SCHIP benefits to low-income legal immigrant children and pregnant women. She also wrote the Access to Employment and English Acquisition Act to meet the growing demand for English language courses and other job skills.
HEALTH CARE
• Hillary wrote a law as Senator providing grants to state and local governments to pay for respite care services for family caregivers, which allows expanded funding for temporary breaks for caregivers of sick or disabled people.
• One of Hillary’s Senate bills to distribute flu vaccines more efficiently inspired provisions of a law promoting the production and stockpiling of vaccines to improve our response to public health emergencies.
WOMEN & CHILDREN
• Hillary Clinton worked in the Senate to strengthen the State Children’s Health Insurance Program, introducing multiple bills allowing states to expand the program that she helped create as First Lady. The program, created in 1997, increased health coverage for children in low income and working families. Hillary also co-wrote a law compelling drug companies to conduct safety tests for products prescribed for children, and wrote a component of the No Child Left Behind Act authorizing funding for recruiting and retaining better teachers.
• Hillary Clinton was a powerful advocate for women in the Senate and was one of the original cosponsors of the Prevention First Act to increase access to family planning. As Senator she was a strong defender of a woman’s right to choose.
