Hillary Clinton Wants to Lock Herself Up

The champion election denier calls for locking up anyone who commits election fraud...including herself?

“I think it’s important to indict the Russians,” said Russiagate progenitor Hillary Clinton on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show, “but I also think there are Americans who are engaged in election interference and propaganda. Whether they should be civilly or criminally charged is something that would be a better deterrence.”

But after eight years of Russiagate, one of the biggest conspiracies in US history in which a presidential candidate used the FBI to fraudulently claim election fraud and foreign interference in the 2016 election, who, in the eyes of Hillary Clinton, is more deserving of that deterrence than herself?

So, “Lock me up!” she began to shout, as fellow Russiagater Rachel Maddow joined in on the chant. “Lock us up, and we’re sorry for everything!” And so on.

Since it’s election season, Russiamania is back in full force. So we’re also watching:

• Presidential candidate Jill Stein’s uncomfortable interview with liberal attack dog Mehdi Hasan, where he catches her off-guard with a gotcha about whether or not Vladimir Putin is a war criminal.

• James Rubin of the Global Engagement Center (the propaganda arm of the State Department) complaining that the global south doesn’t like NATO because they get the RT channel there (and they’re not smart enough to make their own decisions, of course).

• And Jill Stein’s VP pick Butch Ware calls out another warmongering form of US propaganda: if we’re spending trillions of dollars on weapons used to blow up kids in other countries, why is it a “wish list” to have actual social programs here?

Plus, another week has gone by since the last Thursday Throwdown, which means Israel has committed a slew of new war crimes. This time, they’re using pagers and electronics to blow up “Hezbollah targets” in Lebanon. So far, it’s mostly kids and medical workers who they’ve murdered. John Kirby doesn’t want to comment on that just yet.

Don’t watch the news alone. Watch Thursday Throwdown – your midweek dose of media madness. Stick with Katie and Aaron so you can laugh instead of cry at it all. Subscribe to support independent media and watch the full interview here:
