The Bill Clinton Presidency

The slime on the right in their criminal dishonesty are trying to trash Hillary with the Lewinski blow job scandal but these treasonous slimeballs won't admit that in spite of being a whore fucker, Bill Clinton was a damn good president!

Under President Bill Clinton:

-- Developed the nation's first anti-terrorism policy, and appointed first national coordinator of anti-terrorist efforts.

--Stopped cold the Al Qaeda millennium bombing plot.

--Stopped cold the planned attack to kill the Pope

--Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up 12 U.S. jetliners simultaneously

--Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up UN Headquarters

--Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up FBI Headquarters

--Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up the Israeli Embassy in Washington

--Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up Boston airport

--Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up Lincoln and Holland Tunnels in NY

--Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up the George Washington Bridge

--Stopped cold the planned attack to blow up the US Embassy in Albania

-- Tried to kill Osama bin Laden and disrupt Al Qaeda through preemptive strikes (efforts denounced by the G.O.P.).

-- Brought perpetrators of first World Trade Center bombing and CIA killings to justice.

-- Did not blame Bush I administration for first World Trade Center bombing even though it occurred 38 days after they had left office. Instead, worked hard, even obsessively -- and successfully -- to stop future terrorist attacks.

--Named the Hart-Rudman commission to report on nature of terrorist threats and major steps to be taken to combat terrorism.

-Clinton sent legislation to Congress to TIGHTEN AIRPORT SECURITY. (Remember, this is before 911) The legislation was defeated by the Republicans because of opposition from the airlines. 

-Clinton sent legislation to Congress to allow for BETTER TRACKING OF TERRORIST FUNDING. It was defeated by Republicans in the Senate because of opposition from banking interests. 

-Clinton sent legislation to Congress to add tagents to explosives, to allow for BETTER TRACKING OF EXPLOSIVES USED BY TERRORISTS. It was defeated by the Republicans because of opposition from the NRA.

-Clinton increased the military budget by an average of 14 per cent, reversing the trend under Bush I. 

-Clinton tripled the budget of the FBI for counterterrorism and doubled overall funding for counterterrorism

-Clinton detected and destroyed cells of Al Qaeda in over 20 countries

-Clinton created national stockpile of drugs and vaccines including 40 million doses of smallpox vaccine.

-Of Clinton's efforts says Robert Oakley, Reagan Ambassador for Counterterrorism: "Overall, I give them very high marks" and "The only major criticism I have is the obsession with Osama"

-Paul Bremer, current Civilian Administrator of Iraq disagrees slightly with Robert Oakley as he believed the Clinton Administration had "correctly focused on bin Laden.

-Barton Gellman in the Washington Post put it best, "By any measure available, Clinton left office having given greater priority to terrorism than any president before him" and was the "first administration to underatake a systematic anti-terrorist effort"



HERE, IN STARK CONTRAST....is part of the Bush-Cheney anti-terrorism record before September 11, 2001:
-- Backed off Clinton administration's anti-terrorism efforts.

-- Shelved Hart-Rudman report.

-- Appointed new anti-terrorism task force under Dick Cheney. Group did not even meet before 9/11.

-- Called for cuts in anti-terrorism efforts by the Department of Defense

-- Gave no priority to anti-terrorism efforts by Justice Department.

-- Ignored warnings from Louis Freeh about the urgency of terrorist threats.

-- Halted Predator drone tracking of Osama bin Laden.

-- Did nothing in wake of August 6 C.I.A. report to president saying Al Qaeda attack by hijack of an airliner almost certain.

----Now we've got Bush knowing about the terrorists plans, and the fact that they were in flight schools in the US, and little georgie takes a four week vacation..

-- By failing to order any coordination of intelligence data, missed opportunity to stop the 9/11 plot as Clinton-Gore had stopped the millennium plot.

--Blamed Clinton for 9/11.

--In the meantime, his father was working for bin Laden's family business. "Wall St Journal: Bush SR in Business With bin Laden Conglomerate" CARLYLE GROUP, Washington DC

The Art of the Lie: Trump's New Free E Book

Correct The Record today released The Art of the Lie: The Definitive Guide to Donald’s Dishonesty, a new e-book examining how—and why—Donald Trump lies. Over the past sixteen months, Trump has waged an all-out assault on the principle of fact-based debate that is the cornerstone of modern American politics. By analyzing the totality ofTrump’s falsehoods and deconstructing his self-serving lies, The Art of the Lie exposes the Republican nominee as one of the most talented and dangerous con men in American history.

“Donald Trump’s mendacity goes beyond anything we’ve ever seen in American politics and threatens to completely destroy our democracy’s bedrock values of honesty and openness,” said Brad Woodhouse, President of Correct The Record. “We wrote this book out of a simple belief: Donald Trump is playing a massive con on the American people, and he must be exposed.”

In his penchant for self-aggrandizement, his fondness for conspiracy theories and his blatant disregard for facts, Trump is unlike any major party presidential candidate in modern American history. For Trump, lying is not just about spouting inaccuracies. It is literally central to his political identity. In the past four months alone, Trump has told at least 1,057 lies. And PolitiFact has rated about 70 percent of Trump’s statements they fact checked as falsehoods. The previous Republican nominee, Mitt Romney, received a42 percent false rating—a 28 percent difference.

This book is the latest effort in Correct the Record’s Trump Lies Project, which is an effort to hold Trump accountable for his unprecedented deceitfulness. Since June, Correct The Record has tracked and fact checked Trump’s false claims in real time and released a weekly roundup of Trump’s lies each Friday. This book builds on that work but also goes deeper by examining exactly how Trump lies and how his lies have constructed a self-serving and outlandish alternative reality. Read The Art of the Lie here.

Here's A Running List Of President Trump's Lies And Other Bullshit ...

Trump's Sexist Comments

1. He insulted pretty much all women. In a May 1991 Esquire magazine profile, Trump had this to say about his recent bad press: "You know, it really doesn’t matter what they write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass. But she’s got to be young and beautiful."

2. He insulted a breastfeeding mother. "You’re disgusting." Trump hurled this barb at a female lawyer, who, during a deposition involving Trump, asked for a medical break to pump breast milk for her 3-month-old daughter.

3. He insulted Kristen Stewart.

4. He insulted Megyn Kelly — and, once again, pretty much all women. When talking to CNN’s Don Lemon on Friday, he said this about Kelly: "You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever."

5. He insulted Arianna Huffington.

DONALD TRUMP TWITTER

6. He insulted New York Times columnist Gail Collins. Trump sent her one of her columns, in which she called him a "financially embattled thousandaire," with her picture circled and a note saying, "The Face of a Dog."

7. He insulted Sarah Jessica Parker.

8. He insulted Brande Roderick, a contestant on The Apprentice. "It must be a pretty picture," he said to her. "You dropping to your knees."

9. He insulted Bette Midler.

DONALD TRUMP TWITTER

10. And yes, he insulted Rosie O’Donnell.

11. He insulted moms who expect their husbands to change diapers. In a 2005 radio interview, Trump said he didn’t change diapers because it’s the wife’s job. In fact, he said he wouldn’t marry a woman who expected this of him. "There’s a lot of women out there that demand that the husband act like the wife and you know there’s a lot of husbands that listen to that," Trump said. "So you know, they go for it."

12. He insulted all Muslim women. When Donald Trump went after Ghazala Khan, mother of fallen Iraq War veteran Humayun Khan, he invoked gross stereotypes about Muslim women. In July, Ghazala Khan stood next to her husband, Khizr, as he delivered a passionate speech at the DNC excoriating Trump. Noting that Ghazala did not speak, Trump told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos,"Look at his wife, she was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me." Ghazala Khan then spoke out in a powerful Washington Post op-ed saying she chose not to speak because she was too emotional.

13. He accused Hillary Clinton of playing the "woman card." "Frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5 percent of the vote," Trump said in April. "The only thing she’s got going is the women’s card." Here’s a reminder that Hillary Clinton is a former secretary of state, U.S. senator, and first lady, making her one of the most qualified presidential candidates in U.S. history. And considering America has experienced 227 years of male presidents and zero years of female presidents, one might reconsider how much Trump is benefitting from the "man card." The absurd comment was a boon to the Clinton campaign, which drafted up actual "woman cards" for Clinton supporters.

14. He insulted victims of sexual harassment. Both men and women can be victims of sexual harassment in the workplace, though women make up nearly 80 percent of the victims. And Trump believes that if a woman is harassed, she — not the harasser — should leave the workplace. In the wake of multiple sexual harassment allegations against former Fox head Roger Ailes — whom Trump called a "very, very good person" — Trump opined on what his daughter Ivanka should do if sexually harassed. "I would like to think she would find another career or find another company if that was the case," he said to USA Todaycolumnist Kirsten Powers. Just a few weeks later, Ailes, since ousted from Fox, is advisingthe Trump campaign ahead of the presidential debates.

15. He insulted women seeking abortions. More precisely, Trump believes that women who seek abortions should receive "some form of punishment" if abortions become banned. Because defunding Planned Parenthood, enforcing hundreds of anti-abortion restrictions across the country in recent years, and enduring increasing harassment at clinics isn’t punishment enough. Trump later walked back these comments, sort of, saying that instead, doctors should be punished for providing abortions if the procedure were made illegal.

16. He insulted NBC reporter Katy Tur. Trump has taunted NBC reporter Katy Tur relentlessly during the 2016 election cycle, calling her "Little Katy" and a "Third-Rate reporter," even tweeting that she "should be fired." At one rally in South Carolina, his attacks against made his supporters so belligerent that Secret Service had to escort Tur back to her car.

17. He attacked reporter Michelle Fields’s character. When former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields alleged that former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski assaulted her at a Trump event, Trump’s campaign assassinated Fields’s character, implying that Fields has exhibited a "a larger pattern of exaggerating incidents." Trump himself called Fields "terrible" in an interview with Fox & Friends’s Geraldo Rivera and even suggested that she assaulted him. "Maybe I should file a report, she was grabbing me," he said.

18. He insulted Heidi Cruz. After an anti-Trump Super PAC released an ad shaming Melania Trump for posing nude in British GQ in 2000, Trump went after opponent Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s wife, Heidi. First, he threatened to "spill the beans" on Heidi:

Cruz maintained that his campaign had nothing to do with the ad and thankfully did not retaliate with any sexist memes of his own.

19. He insulted Elizabeth Warren. Trump has gone after Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren time and time again, calling her "goofy," "a fraud," and, like Clinton, someone who is "playing the woman’s card." Unfortunately for Trump, Warren can tweet just as furiously and often dishes it right back.

20. He insulted Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Trump called on feminist rock star Ruth Bader Ginsburg to resign after she criticized him in the press. He has called her an "incompetent judge" and said "her mind is shot." Ginsburg, who calledTrump a "faker" and said, "I can’t imagine what the country would be — with Donald Trump as our president," later said her comments were "ill advised."

21. He insulted Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski. Trump launched a Twitter attack against Morning Joe’s Mika Brzezinski for what he believes was unfair coverage by her and co-host Joe Scarborough. Trump called Brzezinski "neurotic" (an insult he apparently only uses for women):

He then implied that the two anchors are dating, and called Brzezinski "insecure."

22. He said Rosie O’Donnell deserved the "tough things" he said to her. Trump has been insulting to O’Donnell for years, but at the first presidential debate, he reiterated that those insults were deserved, based on how "vicious" she’s been to him.

23. He body-shamed Kim Kardashian when she was pregnant.
