This an important reminder that even people lacking any sort of humanity are still very much human.
This is hilarious
This is horrific.
Thousand dead because the powerful can’t be adults.
Hilary is a psychopath
Both things can be true. This really isn’t the post to pearl clutch
Yes. If Bill was sitting in prison for war crimes, and ultimately wouldn’t be remember fondly; yes it’s funny. So yes I see the Clinton’s as funny. If only their status, power, and influence reflected the reality. (I would absolutely want them back in office over trump.) But I personally would laugh in Bill’s face if he offered to shake hands because that’s how he should be treated everywhere. Imagine if Bill dropped those bombs on his friends (at the time), like Trump and Epstin. Reality sometimes feels like the movies Idiocracy and The Butterfly Effect had a baby. Bill gets his dick sucked so Thousands have to die on the other side of the planet. Honestly, I’d watch that movie.
Nobody in America views bill clinton fondly. Maybe his presidency, maybe the 90s, maybe they’d prefer him over trump.
Nobody… Nobody here maybe. A lot of the current Neoliberal leadership running the DNC comes from their offices/administrations. Let’s hope more people see them as the snakes that they are.
My condolences to Mr. Cockburn
Lmao holy shit
Yup. The people in charge of the “free world” are petty, vapid, and… Human.
Don’t trust anyone that puts people in power on a pedestal. That person lacks objectivity and will betray everyone and everything as they get closer to power.
The US House of Cards was inspired from them.
Underwood-Urquhart comparisons
edit
Underwood is an Americanized version of the original BBC series lead character Francis Urquhart, a Machiavellian post-Margaret Thatcher Chief Whip of the Conservative Party. Urquhart employs deceit, cunning, murder, and blackmail to influence and pursue the office of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. According to series producer Beau Willimon, the change in last name stemmed from the “Dickensian” feeling and “more legitimately American” sounding resonance of the name ‘Underwood’. Whereas Urquhart is an aristocrat by birth, Underwood is a self-made man, having been born into a poor Southern family with an alcoholic father.[43] Urquhart was one of television’s first antiheroes,[21] whereas Underwood follows the more recent rash of antiheroes that includes Tony Soprano of The Sopranos, Walter White of Breaking Bad, and Dexter Morgan of Dexter.[20] However, unlike most other antiheroes, Underwood is not forced into immorality either by circumstance (White), birth (Soprano) or upbringing (Morgan). In his review of Season 2, Slant Magazine’s Alan Jones writes that Underwood is evil by choice.[45] Although the character is based on the BBC show’s lead character, in interviews during the writing and filming of season 2, creator and showrunner Willimon said that he used Lyndon B. Johnson as a source of themes and issues addressed in House of Cards.[46] Unlike the right wing Urquhart, who leads the Conservative Party, Underwood is a member of the Democratic Party, but cares little for ideology in favor of “ruthless pragmatism” in furthering his own political influence and power.[8]

WTF are you talking about?
The US version of ‘House of Cards’ was taken from a British show.
The fact that you used ‘US House of Cards’ shows that you know this.
You do realize the concept can be based on one thing and then the storyline can be based on something else, right?
Watch the actual shows.
FU’s wife is a willing participant.
Also, there’s a long, long history of political wives who schemed along side their husbands.
Lady Macbeth sound familiar? Cleopatra? Elanor Roosevelt?
But yes, Hillary and Bill are the only two it could have been. /s
The writer of US House of Cards said the Underwoods are based from the Clintons.
No, no.
I’m going to blindly assert you’re wrong and chain together my own theories with semi-plausible arguments.Anyway, that’s how the internal power struggles of the Branch Davidians inspired House of Cards.
Cleopatra was scheming long before she was shacking up. Kind of reductive to say she’s a “political wife”.
Worked hard to marry two of the most powerful men in the world.
What would you call it?
Queen of Egypt? She was a ruler in her own right.
So was Queen Isabella. She also married a powerful man.
“Wife” = woman married to a man.
“Political” = relating to politics.
“Political wife” = a wife involved in politics with her husband.
What part of that confused you
The writer of US House of Cards said the Underwoods are based from the Clintons.
Could you post a source for this?
Milosevic was also a pile of shit. A less informed, less ambitious pile of shit.
Milosevic didn’t have Hillary to tell him when to bomb, he had to improvise
We all deserve our own Hillary
Eh, if we had less Hillary in 2016, we wouldn’t have 45/47
Find yourself someone who looks at you like Hillary looks at bombs dropping on Serbia.
I have one. It’s not always pleasant
Some Serbs just have to be bombed. That’s just the way of the world
Human Rights Watch estimate: 489–528 civilians killed (60% of whom were in Kosovo)
Yugoslav estimate: 1,200–2,000 civilians killed and about 6,000 civilians wounded
FHP: 218 Albanians, 204 Serbs and 30 others
China 3 Chinese citizens killed in NATO’s bombing of China’s embassy in Belgradehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_bombing_of_Yugoslavia#Civilian_casualties
Oh no, some people got bombed while murdering and raping neighboring civilians. They should have tried not genociding Kosovar Albanians and serbs.
Can’t wait for the yearly whining of s*rbians on the anniversary
Bombing Yugoslavia was one of the small handful of good things NATO ever did, but the other person is talking about the civilian casualties here. One would presume the people involved in murder and rape don’t count towards those number.
Also is anyone else seeing that 60% of the casualties are in Kosovo stat?
That’s where the Serbian army was. I think the people from Kosovo have forgiven NATO though, if you’ve ever been to Prishtina the multi-story Bill Clinton tribute banner is quite noticeable.
The Kosovo War was an armed conflict in Kosovo that lasted from 28 February 1998 until 11 June 1999. It was fought between the forces of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY), which controlled Kosovo before the war, and the Kosovo Albanian separatist militia known as the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). The conflict ended when NATO intervened by beginning air strikes in March 1999 which resulted in Yugoslav forces withdrawing from Kosovo.
