Hillary Clinton Opens New Presidential Library Charting Course Of Purely Theoretical Tenure As Commander In Chief – The Onion (satire)

PARK RIDGE, ILAt a ribbon-cutting ceremony held Tuesday on the steps of the recently completed 200,000-square-foot facility, Hillary Clinton opened a new presidential library and museum that commemorates the presidency she might have had if elected. Visitors to the Hillary Rodham Clinton Presidential Center can learn all about her tenure as commander in chief as it hypothetically might have unfolded over two terms in office, read a press release issued by the library, which archives thousands of pages of correspondence the former candidate wrote herself on replica Oval Office letterhead, displays pens she could have used to sign landmark legislation, and otherwise chronicles the pivotal moments of her nonexistent presidency. Preserved here for future generations are the texts of the seven State of the Union addresses she would have delivered, as well as filmed interviews in which Clinton reflects on imagined signature achievements such as the 2019 Paid Family and Medical Leave Act and a new U.S.-led climate treaty that future historians would have credited with ending the worlds dependence on fossil fuels. Sources said the museum also contains exhibits on the Supreme Court justices Clinton would have appointed to replace Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Anthony Kennedy, and Stephen Breyer, presuming they had all died during her presidency.

Trump speaks on Russia, North Korea and Hillary Clinton – ABC15 Arizona

Giving what was essentially President Donald Trump's first news conference in nearly six months on Thursday, the President reiterated threats to the North Korean government, while taking a softer tone on Russia.

The news conference took place from Trump's New Jersey resort, where he was meeting with military leaders about the threat North Korea poses.

Trump told reporters on Thursday that Russian President Vladimir Putin did the United States a favor by expelling 775 diplomats and other staffers working on behalf of the United States in Russia.

I want to thank him because we're trying to cut down our payroll, and as far as I'm concerned I'm very thankful that he let go a large number of people because now we have a smaller payroll, Trump said. There's no real reason for them to go back. I greatly appreciate the fact that we've been able to cut our payroll of the United States. We're going to save a lot of money.

Putin's decision was put enacted after the US Congress overwhelmingly supported legislation that would increase sanctions against Russia, and prohibit Trump from being able to lift the sanctions. Trump came out in opposition of the legislation.

The legislation was enacted due to US intelligence services finding that Russia attempted to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

The war of words between Trump and North Korea leader Kim Jong Un continued on Thursday as Trump said that maybe his threats of'fire and fury' were not enough.

On Wednesday, the North Korean government said it is exploring a plot to fire missiles toward the coast of Guam. In response on Thursday, Trump said,"Maybe it wasn't tough enough," referring to his own comments from earlier in the week.

Trump would not rule out a preemptive strike against Un's government.

"We don't talk about that. We never do. I don't talk about it," Trump told reporters. "We'll see what happens."

Trump once again said accusations that his campaign colluded with Putin and the Russians were false, and that he simply won because he was the better candidate. Trump said that Russia would have prefered Hillary Clinton would have won. Trump claims that Clinton would have decreased the size and scope of the US military.

" I fought a smart battle," Trump said. "I didn't win because of Russia. Russia nothing to do with me winning. We had a great team and I guess I did a good job."

9 times Hillary Clinton warned this would happen – New Statesman

All the times Hillary Clinton warned US voters about Donald Trump and she was right:

"A man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes, as far as I think anyone with any sense about this should be concerned."

- First Trump-Clinton debate, September 2016

"I think Donald just criticized me for preparing for this debate. And, yes, I did. And you know what else I prepared for? I prepared to be president. And I think that's a good thing."

- First Trump-Clinton debate, September 2016

"We have never in the history of our country been in a situation where an adversary, a foreign power, is working so hard to influence the outcome of the election, and believe, theyre not doing it to get me elected."

- Second Trump-Clinton debate, October 2016

"But it is important for us as a policy not to say, as Donald has said, were going to ban people based on a religion. How do you that?... Are we going to have religious tests when people fly into our country and how do we expect to be able to implement those?"

- Second Trump-Clinton debate, October 2016

"Words matter when you run for president. And they really matter when you are president."

- First Trump-Clinton debate, September 2016

"Every time Donald thinks things aren't going in his direction, he claims whatever it is, is rigged against him. The FBI conducted a yearlong investigation into my e-mails. They concluded there was no case. He said the FBI was rigged."

- ThirdTrump-Clinton debate, October 2016

"The other day, I saw Donald saying that there were some Iranian sailors on a ship in the waters off of Iran, and they were taunting American sailors who were on a nearby ship. He said, you know, if they taunted our sailors, I'd blow them out of the water and start another war. That's not good judgment."

- First Trump-Clinton debate, September 2016

"Your child had asthma, you may not be able to have insurance because you can't afford it. So let's fix what's broken about it, but lets not throw it away and give it back to the insurance companies. That's not going to work."

- Second Trump-Clinton debate, October 2016

"He even said, well, you know, if there were nuclear war in East Asia, well, you know, that's fine..."

Dorinda Medley Breaks Down Her Six Degrees of Separation to Hillary Clinton – Bravo (blog)

When Dorinda Medley isn't hanging with the ladies of The Real Housewives of New York City, you can find her hobnobbing around the Big Apple with the political elite. And that's just how she spent her weekend, catching up with her old pal, Hillary Clinton. You may have heard of her?

For those of you who may have caught a glimpse of that photo of Dorinda's timeline and wondered, "How do they know each other?", Dorinda recently explained their connection. "Hillary was a big part of our life at one point, and it's so funny because Hannah is incredibly comfortable with her because she was little when she first met her," she told Too Fab. "Both Bill and Hillary -- they're always so gracious and kind and happy to see you. She always says something relevant to make you feel like, you know, she really feels close to you. She's just amazing like that."

Their most recent catch-up session took place at the nuptials of Sophie Lasry and Alex Swieca at Cipriani Wall Street.

And, as Dorinda put it, "everybody who was anyone was there." And she's not lying. The event was also attended by Bill Clinton (naturally), Huma Abedin, Jennifer Lopez and boyfriend Alex Rodriguez and Donald Trump's daughter Tiffany Trump. Oh, yeah, Dorinda's daughter, Hannah Lynch, was also there. "It was one of the most beautiful weddings I've ever been to," she told TooFab. "[Marc Lasry, the father of the bride,] is an old friend of my late husband [Richard Medley], and Hannah is best friends with Sophie. The flowers, the decorations, the food -- it was pretty outstanding. I said to Hannah, 'Don't think you're gonna have anything quite like this. Don't get used to this, 'cause this ain't happening!'"

In case you didn't know, Richard also dabbled in politics. He was the Chief Economist for the House Banking Committee and Chief of Staff for the Democratic leadership in the U.S. Senate under Robert Byrd. He was later the head speechwriter for Geraldine Ferraro's Vice Presidential campaign during the 1984 election. Dorinda and Richard were married in 2005, until his passing in 2011.

Below, Dorinda opens up a bit more about their marriage. She also dishes more about their time together in the video above.
