You mean, have I heard about the vast right-wing conspiracy that&#039;s been persecuting the poor saintly Clintons for decades? Tricking the helpless naifs into one incriminating situation after another, after another?

Bill&#039;s criminality is not disputed. Hillary is more of a white collar criminal, and as someone noted recently, they often don’t face the consequences of their actions. Sometimes they manage to skate right up to the edge of the letter of the law. When they cross the line, cover-ups and stonewalling and counter-allegations work, and at that the Clintons are in a league of their own.

Is it conceivable that Hillary is beyond the reach of the law? Clearly she has been to date. That&#039;s a long way from innocent.

I don&#039;t suppose that it has crossed your mind that the reason Hillary Clinton has never been charged with a crime is that she hasn&#039;t done anything illegal and all the charges against her are just political innuendo? 

The Russia Uranium One thing is the biggest pile of crap in existence. The State Department was one of NINE departments that had to approve the deal, the discussions began before she was Sec of State, she didn&#039;t sit on the nine member board and wasn&#039;t involved in the decision. Further, two of the other board members were the Sec of Defense and Homeland Security. They approved it too. There is no export licence for the Uranium. It cannot leave the US. It is being used for nuclear power. I can&#039;t believe this is even being discussed as a problem! ]]></description>

If Clinton is the precise horror of all your paranoid horrors, is that enough? What does it take for you...? You&#039;ve written &#039;you need help&#039; as a lot of &quot;burns&quot;. I think you are older than 12...maybe 22? dunno. I&#039;m surprised you don&#039;t reflect on your own weird Clinton fetish. Take a step back bro.]]></description>

It goes without saying that laws must be applied without fear or favor. Among other things, that means I want the Clintons to be held accountable for once. I can&#039;t imagine I&#039;ve ever posted anything here that could fairly be construed otherwise. 

Meanwhile, though, it is Clinton and her band of deranged dead-enders who furiously traffic in scurrilous innuendo, while hoping for the worst. It will be a case of delicious irony if the whole Russia farce blows back on the Clintons and Obama.]]></description>

The Franco dictatorship ended in 1975, that is 42 years ago. Now I do not know the profile of Catalonia&#039;s population pyramid, but it is safe to assume that a majority of Catalans have no living recollection of that era. So yes,I agree that money probably is the main motive.
Catalan is indeed more like Occitan then Spanish, like Occitan is more like Catalan then French.
I&#039;m neutral on the question of secession, but it has been handeled very badly, from both sides. A farcical &#039;vote&#039; and a ridiculously heavy-handed reaction.

What about an Occitan Republic comprising Catalonia and l&#039;Occitanie? (former Languedoc-Roussillion and Midi-Pyrenees).
[Of course they will fight about where the capital should be, Barcelona, Toulouse or even Montpellier ????].  Would not be a bad idea.]]></description>

All that is true. It seems to me that they&#039;re not treated like second-class citizens anymore and that the treatment meted out to them previously is being used to work people up. Of course, never having been there and not speaking the language it&#039;s hard for me to judge how accurate my perception is.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I think the independence movement in Catalonia has much deeper roots.  Historically, it was closer to the Occitan-speaking area of southern France that to Spain.  Catalan is more a dialect of Occitan than of Spanish.  Catalonia had been a strongly Republican region in the Spanish civil war.  During the fascist era under Franco, Catalan was banned in an attempt to suppress Catalonia culture and forcibly merge it into Spain.  To many Catalans, it was more like living as second-class citizens in a conquered territory and this naturally fuelled the independence movement.  Spain is now reaping the harvest sown by the Francoist fascist nationalists.]]></description>
