I don't even have to look at the Hillary book thread to sense that Clinton Derangement Syndrome is in full swing there.
Really, just any thread that has Clinton in its title.

Tolerant Centrist Autodidact declares opposing sentiment toxic in bold new move.
Radical Extremist Crab is alright with posts telling her to "go and jump out a window," in a move that surprises no one.
Hua Mulan has more probably more sources than Jesus, and I doubt Pence would dismiss him or his morals out of hand.To be fair this part is actually true
I'm not saying Mulan is a factual retelling of history.

You guys know what we should talk about? Clinton. Because she's so relevant right now.
*Sessions arguing against homosexuals getting Title VII protections.*
Yup, Clinton. Relevant.

Heads up on new Skinny repeal. In short, it's getting fatter, with a defunding of PP for 1 year, but perplexing with it's removal of the tax cut for medical devices.

I thought they couldn't defund PP without violating the Byrd rule...

Why. Won't. Yesterday. End. Defunding PP? Whyyyy
Hasn't the PP defunding constantly been ruled to be in violation of reconciliation rules?
There have been zero rulings on reconciliation rules to this point, only informal discussions with the parliamentarian and guesses

-Sigh- One day crusty old men won't be trying to tell me and other women what we should and shouldn't be allowed to do with our bodies and what services we should and shouldn't be allowed to have access to... I can dream right?

The Senate Parliamentarian already ruled it a violation of the Byrd rule in the original bill.

If she goes, Collins goes. They're a package deal like McCain and Graham.

PP repeal for a year sounds like a lazy half measure even conservatives wouldn't fall for.

The only reason I wouldn't see it happening now is because even if they both flipped, they'd still be in the minority. They can both do more from their current posts.If she goes, Collins goes. They're a package deal like McCain and Graham.
Now if Dems even netted just one seat next year...

I mean she sucks up coverage. People here keep saying she doesn't matter, but that's just a lie.
She'll never run for office again, but she's a lightning rod. Its naive to say what she says doesn't reflect on the party.
Which is why this book is dumb as fuck. I still haven't heard a good reason or defense for her putting this out by the way.

A publisher decided to buy the book and publish it because there's obviously public interest in it. You think Random House/Scribner/Knopf etc. are charities?
There's your reason.

This is literally a self-fulfilling prophecy. She's only relevant because we talk about her being relevant which in turn makes her relevant. 2016 is over. There's energy better spent countering the constant crises induced by this administration. (This goes double for Clinton herself)
*but yes, now is not the time for Clinton to try and cash-in on a publishing deal*

Yes because losing candidates have NEVER released books reflecting on the campaign and discussing the future. You sound unhinged. Stop making me defend Hillary Clinton, man...

Running for president, first female nominee for a major party in the US, former SoS don't count as good reasons to put out a book about her experience?

In a surprise twist, it'll be Ryan who is (somehow) fired
Mulan of course is not a factual retelling of history, but Hua Mulan appeared as a character in a poem written hundreds of years ago. That's hardly a source for legit history. Her subsequent stories are expressed in a variety of media works, which are also not sources of history.Hua Mulan has more probably more sources than Jesus, and I doubt Pence would dismiss him or his morals out of hand.
I'm not saying Mulan is a factual retelling of history.
Chinese history can't even decide if her family name was actually Hua, the original poem only called her Mulan. It's debateable whether she truly existed or not.

Can you imagine how incompetent the White House would become if the Chief of Staff suddenly goes from Washington insider to Sleazy 80s Guy? It's... I mean... it was bad enough already, but...
I mean the loser of the last election had a documentary about his run (with film during it!) that launched a little more than a year after election. I don't think someone who runs such an election would say no to a deal which will probably give lots of money to fund charitable work (such as the Obama healthcare speach).
If anything, the all-engulfing shitstorm going on right now that may well be the nadir of the Trump presidency is arguably the ideal time for a Clinton book to come out.
People might go soft once he's impeached, and they won't have all this actual news going on.
Ha. You know it's going to be the exact opposite. It'll be front page on the New York Times, while Trump's impeachment is pushed to A17

Thus far, at least. I don't want to think about the future as being worse than the present.

Clinton's gotta eat. Part of the benefits of leaving public life are the financial opportunities of speaking, books, etc. I see no harm here.
That said, I won't be reading it heh

I'd rather stuff like books wait until after the Trump presidency, but eh. She's a citizen. She can do whatever.
