Naw, it's an orangutan Robbin.

No offense to Orangutans that aren't named Trump.

Only in the circumstances. What is so bad the rats can't stand it?

Try to keep up.
Exonerate: 1. (especially of an official body) absolve (someone) from blame for a fault or wrongdoing, especially after due consideration of the case.
(from Wiki)

She was absolved? Must have missed the news report.

Friedman has a good take on what he believes should be Hillary's economic message (for a moderate such as myself, anyway).

If there is one thing that is not going to revive growth right now, it is an anti-trade, regulatory heavy, so************************t-lite agenda the Democratic Party has drifted to under the sway of Bernie Sanders. So************************m is the greatest system ever invented for making people equally poor. Capitalism makes people unequally rich, but I would much rather grow our pie bigger and faster and better adjust the slices than redivide a shrinking one...

...I get that she had to lean toward Sanders and his voters to win the nomination; their concerns with fairness and inequality are honorable. But those concerns can be addressed only with economic growth; the rising anti-immigration sentiments in the country can be defused only with economic growth; the general anxiety feeding Trumpism can be eased only with economic growth.

Sanders had no plan whatsoever for growth. Trump doesn’t, either, but he can fake it. It’s time that Hillary pivoted. The country today doesn’t need the first female president. It needs the first president in a long time who can govern with a center-left, center-right coalition, and actually end the gridlock on fiscal policy in a smart way.

Lil Kim, another fan of Donito Trumpolini, you'd fit in there better than I, trumpkins.

As to democracy, that's why Sanders lost. Time to get over it and stop whining, Joad.
