jimmyk found the misreading of 1984 and ace had a treasure with the "absolution" quote ... good grief.

[Reposting only because it's now on topic]

First degree category error:

HillaryClinton thinks the lesson of Orwell's 1984 is that you should trust experts, leaders and the press

Comment by Laslo: The book "What Happened" will be followed by the book "What I Meant To Say".

Thanks for the concern but all is well in the RG household and with family members all over the state. Like the state, we were incredibly lucky on many fronts.

Sorry MM but; McMaster is a disaster.

No hell he isn't. Iggy, to me there's a weird battle of "operators" going on via Twitter, etc. I'm not sure I trust the play being made by folks who are obviously utilizing the writer of the article you cited, David Steinberg, in PajamasMedia. This is an article (September 6, 2017) that is something of a tell to me, revolving around Mike Cernovich:

https://pjmedia.com/davidsteinberg/administration-sources-creepy-tweet-coded-message-general-mcmaster-leakers/

Caroline Glick >> David Weinberg >> Mike Cernovich ???

Well, YMMV, but I'm much more confident with General McMaster. I have been *very* suspicious of Cernovich ever since he was granted that interview on 60 Minutes. I rather believe General Kelly and General McMaster are part of that methodical, python-like effort to squeeze out the players with influence that generate the leaks within every administration. The desperate squeaking about McMaster says to me the effort is being successful and may (may!) be in its final stages.

It would be a huge, huge victory for the Trump Administration if they could get this under control before Summer 2018. I would like to think the overly-impatient Lurker's Ledge inhabitant, CH, would factor this in a bit more prominently but I see he's still on the Elmer Fudd kick (((sigh))).

IMHO everyone dissatisfied with Sessions or Trump or McMaster *seriously* underestimates the adversary being confronted . . . and that is never a good thing.

She keeps referring to all these horrible people who wouldn't let her "be herself" during the campaign. Like that wasn't really her hectoring television viewers "why aren't I fifty points ahead, you might ask" like the mother in law from Hell?

Someone might want to check on that skeezer Jennifer Palmieri because I have a feeling she's been chugging dago red continually since the book quotes started stumbling out.

Rodham has been a LEECH her entire life. She was a blood sucking VAMPIRE at Rose Law, vis a vis Whitewater, and a lying cheating lout with regard to her CATTLE FUTURES kick back. She has NEVER accomplished ANYTHING of note. She was kicked off of the Watergate legal team for being "unethical". She lied about RAPIST BILL'S affairs, although she knew the truth.

Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki

There is a certain ostrich-with-its-head-in-the-sand feeling to ignoring that over and over McMaster and others have undeniably purged the most vocal Trump supporters up to and including Bannon who has stated fairly clearly that Trump has relied too much on the Establishment to populate his admin to the point the trump revolution is over.
Now, Trump has stood firm here and there but, as in Afghanistan, he has not at times as well.
I hope the purges have been over matters other than draining the Swamp and I hope Trump remains steadfast and I hope that those surrounding him faithfully follow his agenda, but hope is a poor substitute for observation. To pretend there is no cause for concern and the dozens of people let go do not indicate a possible counteroffensive by the Swamp and the possibility these portend a purposely hobbled Trump doesn't seem too wise to me.
Nor am I willing to discount the possibility Trump doesn't mind just so long as gets a deal, even if it's one the Swamp loves more than his supporters. I tend to doubt that aspect just from his steadfastness so far, but DC has a way of grinding even the most steadfast smooth.
We shall see, but to pretend there is no smoke in the air indicating a possible fire somewhere doesn't seem to comport with either observations or the nature of the Swamp.

We may not be at the 'who you gonna believe, me or your lyin eyes' point yet but it's on the horizon.

Update on the death of Joseph Rago:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/medical-examiner-said-wall-street-journals-joseph-rago-died-of-natural-causes-1505242044

As it's likely behind the pay wall:

Julie Bolcer, the spokeswoman for the city’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner, said Mr. Rago suffered from the inflammatory disease sarcoidosis, which affected his lungs, heart, spleen, hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes. “The manner of death is natural,” Ms. Bolcer said.

Sarcoidosis is the formation of tiny clumps of inflammatory cells in one or more organs of the body, according to the Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research. Chronic inflammation can lead to permanent thickening or scarring of organ tissue.

Goodie, an international summit of leaders in Chicago!

With the summit, Obama said he and his wife Michelle Obama want to "hear directly from the future leaders we want to cultivate."

"And what makes me so hopeful, so optimistic, is that so many of you have shown up, dived in and embraced the kind of active citizenship that makes our democracy work," he said.



Old Lurker

"How unsurprising that Hillary! claims to have no idea how to battle the Antichrist."

Perhaps if Hillary! had had to spend the last ten months holed up with her defense lawyers, she might not think she is our once and future savior, risen from her unfair death, and the MSM would not be touting that line once again.

Did this get posted? I'll believe it when I see it, but it is interesting. Trent Franks (R-AZ) on Fox News re: possibly Awan wife immunity deal:

“I don’t want to talk out of school here but I think you're going to see some revelations that are going to be pretty profound. The fact that this wife is coming back from Pakistan and is willing to face charges, as it were, I think there is a good chance she is going to reach some type of immunity to tell a larger story here that is going to be pretty disturbing to the American people.”

"I would just predict that this is going to be a very significant story and people should fasten their seat belts on this one."

Appalled

It sounds like Ms. Clinton was honest about her feelings (something missing from the campaign except by accident), and allowed a certain level of amusing sourness into her book, as well as providing tips on good bars and vodkas. That makes this a window into a state of mind, but hardly source material for a factual account of her campaign.

Since she did let out the sardonic sour that Hillary's friends insist is a sense of humor, I guess she's not running in 2020. That makes every Dem except Huma and Husband happy, I am sure.

Am in agreement with RG. No surprise.

Wasn't McMaster chosen when Flynn had to leave? I would assume General Flynn General Flynn had some input on his replacement. I think everyone forgets this.

I think people like Cernovich are causing doubt and division for their own purposes. Anyone who is using him as a source is very misguided, and that includes Steinberg.

Quotes from HC's book seem lifted from Moby Dick's Captain Ahab.

Susanoo

“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters,” Trump bragged in January 2016. This statement should be met with only a modicum of skepticism. Trump has mocked the disabled, withstood multiple accusations of sexual violence (all of which he has denied), fired an FBI director, sent his minions to mislead the public about his motives, personally exposed those lies by boldly stating his aim to scuttle an investigation into his possible collusion with a foreign power, then bragged about that same obstruction to representatives of that same foreign power. It is utterly impossible to conjure a black facsimile of Donald Trump—to imagine Obama, say, implicating an opponent’s father in the assassination of an American president or comparing his physical endowment with that of another candidate and then successfully capturing the presidency. Trump, more than any other politician, understood the valence of the bloody heirloom and the great power in not being a n*gger.

I'm not confident that Ms. Awan is any big catch, immunity or not. She probably likes living in the US better than living in Poke-ee-stahn, and got a "good deal" to return. Not saying she isn't a criminal, just saying she may be in the dark about her hubby's espionage. She gets immunity, and he gets tagged with theft of services and equipment - BFD.

Green at Insty write about Hilligula's book recriminations tour:

But she doesn’t seem to have learned anything, if her book and recent statements are anything to go by. Clinton not only thinks that Trump is an inexcusable disaster, but her book indicates that she places the blame for him (while blithely comparing herself to Cersei from Game of Thrones) on those same deplorables, still so full of “anger and resentment.”

So while there’s always good fun to be had at the expense of a clueless politico, the idea of a sitting President filled with that much contempt for her fellow Americans ought to make one shudder.

So...Mr. NeverTrumper Green: would a Prez Curb Dive have more or less contempt for "fellow Americans" than Preznit Jiveass? Take your time to think your answer over...

cboldt

The professional political class finds NWO to be an inevitable and good thing. "Nationalism" is considered a dirty principle. This political evolution has been going on for hundreds of years. In the US, manifested by ascendancy of FedGov over state govs starting in earnest with Woodrow Wilson.

At the same time, all claim to be "pro-America." The open borders advocates assert their preferred policy is pro-America. Some with single payer health care, "pro-America."

http://nypost.com/2017/09/12/hillary-clintons-book-signing-was-as-insufferable-as-youd-expect/

Amid wild applause, Clinton made her way up to a raised platform, and then . . . she sat down and started signing. No hello to the crowd, no thanks for the hours of waiting — let alone decades of support — no apology for or acknowledgment of being an hour late, or losing the most consequential election in American history. Not a single word. She just started signing.

Waiting patiently to Hillary’s right, mere feet from her stage, was a line of wheelchair-bound seniors. “Hey guys, I need everybody to move over this way,” one staffer directed, as if that were so easy. Another staffer hijacked a fan’s wheelchair, saying, “We’re going for a ride,” while moving the fan aside.

Another attendee approached the officials. “She’s not going to speak?”

“This is all you’re getting,” came the reply.

Yes, typical Clinton class was on display here.

This book, we’ve been told, will show us a different Hillary, a humbled candidate taking personal responsibility for her loss. Yet just as that’s not true — as we all know by now, she blames Bernie Sanders, the Russians, James Comey, et. al in her memoir — in hawking it, she can’t help but revert to form. Wait for hours, sweat it out, love her all you want — she’s popping in for your cash, nothing more.

Lacking charisma? This scrunt lacks basic humanity. Oh, but that vulgar Trump fellow...

Among the enduring criticisms of Hillary Clinton: Her sense of entitlement is limitless. She’s tone-deaf and doesn’t understand the average American — nor does she care to. Her greed is insatiable.

Add to this a gaping lack of self-awareness, and you have all the ingredients for the New York City launch of Hillary’s nationwide book tour Tuesday morning.

[snip]

A limited number of wristbands for entry will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis with purchase of the featured title at Barnes & Noble Union Square. Hillary Rodham Clinton will sign copies of her new release, “What Happened” and the 2017 illustrated children’s edition of “It Takes a Village,” no exceptions or personalizing. She will sign up to two books per customer, one of which must be “What Happened.”

No other books or memorabilia please. Posed photos or selfies will not be taking place . . . Book purchase and wristbands are both required to meet the author, no exceptions. Customers without wristbands will not be allowed to participate in any capacity.

From Chicago:

Ask Lyle.

"What? No IDs?"

David, Internet Deplorable

This seems appropriate, given the circumstances. This is a modified and expanded thought from a poster at Althouse.

A quote from Hillary Clinton's book:

"Attempting to define reality is a core feature of authoritarianism. That is what the soviets did when they erased political dissidents from historical photos. That is what happens in George Orwell's classic novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four," where a torturer holds up four fingers and delivers electric shocks until his prisoner sees five fingers as ordered. The goal is to make you question logic and reason and to sow mistrust towards exactly the people we need to rely on: our leaders, the press, experts who seek to guide public policy based on evidence, ourselves. For Trump, as with so much he does, it is all about simple dominance."

Hillary, you ignorant slut. Oh, right! To call you ignorant is an insult to ignorant people! I've known sheep that could outwit you. I've worn dress pants with higher IQs. But you think you're an intellectual, don't you, Hillary? Now let me correct you on a couple of things, OK?

The theme of "1984" is not "respect authority."

Aristotle was not Belgian.

The central message of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself."

And the London Underground is not a political movement.

Those are all mistakes, Hillary. I looked them up.

I would question the NYPost on this:

"losing the most consequential election in American history"

That's at least debatable. I think it's something #NeverTrumpers (of which there are some at the NYP) say because Trump is so horrible, in their view. That seems to be what is meant here.

Otherwise "consequential" can't be judged now. I thought 2000 was hugely consequential, in a good way, but then we ended up with Obama, so hugely consequential in a bad way.

I might argue that it was hugely consequential because Hillary would have been the greatest catastrophe to befall the presidency since at least James Buchanan, given where the country was, but that obviously isn't what the Post meant.
