"They can do it to anybody."
Now we all know that politics and surfing don’t often mix, no? Oh the two are very much oil and water but we can also agree that if ever there was a virulently “anti-surfer” politician, it was/is erstwhile presidential candidate and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Of course you recall how the one-time senator from New York, a state not known for being overly friendly to our kind, possibly “severed off” two of surf journalist Liz Crokin’s ten fingers.
You also certainly remember how she just called the only surfer in the United States House of Representatives and only politician to ever appear on Ain’t That Swell Tulsi Gabbard a “Russian asset.”
Well, in a new documentary she is going hard after Bernie Sanders and his “Bernie Bros” and let’s read her hurtful talk in a just-released interview promoting a new four-part Hulu documentary.
“He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done,” Clinton said in the documentary. “He was a career politician. It’s all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it.”
“I will say, however, that it’s not only him, it’s the culture around him. It’s his leadership team. It’s his prominent supporters. It’s his online ‘Bernie Bros’ and their relentless attacks on lots of his competitors, particularly the women. And I really hope people are paying attention to that because it should be worrisome that he has permitted this culture — not only permitted, [he] seems to really be very much supporting it.”
Now, I assume the Bernie Bros, per Ms. Clinton’s record, are exactly like surf bros. Like, “Hey, bro, saw that sick little nugget…Hey, bro, don’t paddle on me…” and feel very badly that we are getting drug through this dirt.
But do you also feel bad or do political attacks roll off your back like water off a shark’s?
Also, with no professional surf contest on the horizon, will you watch and enjoy the new Hulu documentary?

Finally…can Hilary really speak with any authority about another person’s popularity…seriously??
And Chas deliberately starting a debate about politics is low…even for you
It was true then and always will be…”you’re not the Messiah…you’re a very naughty boy”
You can tell he did it just to troll cause hes not all over the comments. It’s like fetish pr0n for him.
Hilary may not surf…but wasn’t bill well known for putting his stick in some deep, dark caverns?
Your so naive if you don’t under stand that “democratic socialist” means communist who was elected. It doesn’t matter if you vote for it or not, his beliefs are fundamentally communist. I laugh when people try to explain that there’s any kind of big difference. Government take over of industry is communism. Also his views on foreign policy would put us in a very compromised position as every democratic candidates view on the topic is patently insane. Completely divorced from reality.
Bernie has also not been shy about hanging with/praising open communists. This shouldn’t be news to you at all. The mans beliefs are text book communism.
What crooked selfabsorbed feminazi bitch. Why is there no investigation in her & her cheating husbands crooked deals. She should have been jailed for her email crap. .🖕🖕🖕💩💩💩🐕🐕🐕
Emoji-free zone Rhett. Let’s keep it classy around here.
Hillary..thick ankle dog face loser and commie reeducation camp Bernie..all corrupt losers
People talking about people who talk for a living talking about people who talk for a living. I’m feeling a bit removed.
Smear points ? A smear is an untrue or misleading statement about someone. I have not lied or mislead about sanders in any way. In fact I agree with you that he is actually a very honest politician I simply disagree with his politics. It’s not misleading to say he is an open communist and sang the Russian national anthem with a communist political party on his honeymoon in Russia. There’s actually video of it that can be easily found. I’ve been very precise with my wording the only person trying to smear or mislead is you referring to my comments.
I’d also encourage anyone reading to look into his policy proposals. But before that I’d suggest reading basic history to understand how terrible his recycled communist ideas are that have led to more deaths than any political movement in human history.
You actually couldn’t which is why you didn’t. Stating that leftists love the man is as undeniable a fact as saying the sky is blue. You took the time to send that response so why not debunk my claim ? It’s ok just admit that you love big daddy controlling you.
I’m confused … I don’t want bigger, more intrusive governments but I don’t want corporate wanker types fucking me and the environment over for their own greed … what do I do obe?
Rebuttal my statements in a clear and articulate manner, I dare you.
How could you possibly think lefty politicians represent the surf community ? If you are a leftist you have to come to terms with the fact that you love “the man”. It’s so simple, leftist ideology = Bigger more intrusive government. It blows my mind when wannabe edgy type surf bro’s say they hate the current political system while at the same time actively promote “the man” being more involved in their lives. If you like democratic politicians you love the government dictating your everyday life from what you should say/think to who feeds your children. Also worth noting Bernie sanders is a literal communist by definition. There’s actual video of him singing the Russian national anthem shirtless in Russia with a communist political party on his honeymoon.
This is SHIT. You conservatives are cheerleaders for the current establishment. Rupert Murdoch, Gina Pigheart, Dump, the Religious Right et al rub their hands together with glee at you conservative tryhards singing their tune. Fuck off to Breitbart you establishment tryhard.
I’m the try hard ? Lol you couldn’t have gone any harder with that comment if you tried. Relax bud you think a lot more clearly when you can control your emotions. Try writing an intelligent rebuttal to anything I said. (I’m well aware this won’t happen as the only thing people of your political preference do is get hysterical and name call)
Thanks. FYI there was no name calling I just labeled you how you came across. Unless you really are a super wealthy cunt benefiting from the current establishment. If you wanted small gov for real look into Socialist Libertarianism or even become an anarchist not an establishment conservative – you seem too smart to be swallowing that bs.
Ok your doing a little bit better thanks for toning it down a notch. You see people like me (conservatives) are generally interested in having civil discussion regarding politics and philosophy. Not to sound condescending but it sounds as though you are very misinformed and not educated in the matter you are trying to talk about. For example the term “socialist libertarian” is a massive contradiction in itself. It’s actually ironic that those two terms would ever be paired. Also assuming ones wealth based on political preference is a bizarre sentiment.
He just thinks its not ok to be super wealthy.
Even though it’s been this way since Adam fingered eve and hopefully it won’t change cause the alternative can be disastrous
Rupert and Gina really get under ol Pete’s skin.
How on earth is it a sin to be wealthy ? I’m not personally wealthy but I don’t care that Bill Gates is worth billions for dropping out of school and busting his ass to create a product that has improved the lives of millions of people. Not to mention the thousands of people Who he employs through microsoft. The notion that Bill Gates has in some way unfairly acquired his wealth is ludicrous. Show me the person who had a gun put to his head to purchase his product ? Bill Gates has probably donated a larger percentage of his money to charity than you. If you suggest the government should confiscate his wealth you are a greedy tyrant. Even the money that he has in the bank stimulates the economy as banks are in the business of lending. There’s no justification for socialism. The beautiful thing about capitalism is that there’s nothing stopping you from being the next Bill Gates. There will be no Bill Gates in bernies America.
I’m cool with it.
It’s natural.
It’s nature.
You personally are interested in civil discourse – I appreciate that. Well any kind of Libertarian really. Just not establishment conservatives those guys are the worst manipulators in politics.
I just love how there are surfers who are Republican, despite the fact that Trump administration has rolled back federal clean water protections so that we will all now surfer in even dirtier water. Why haven’t these Republican surfers learned that you don’t do you know what where you eat?
It’s just an alternate reality thing. You cant have a discussion with someone who cant even accept what is real. I’ve seen them defending the environmental rollbacks with “Oh all that is just to create more jobs and wont pollute anything. We actually need more chemicals in the water and CO2 in the air. It’s all just plant food!”
Nana needs to take a seat.

Fuck. I hate limousine liberals. Hillary is the cunt embodiment of that. I’m to the left of Bernie, he’s a cool-ass bro who fought for decades so little poor kids (like I was) could go to the doctor and shit. I remember when I was in my late 20’s, the first time I got snubbed my limosine liberals who kept me around to amuse their rich, Academy Award winning friends. Cause surfers are fucking funny. But when it’s time to really kiss up, they will drop you like a hot potato. That’s why I’m friends with more right-wing fucks, even if their politics are all fucked up, at least they’re honest. I won’t change the fact that if I get taxed, I want that fucking money to go to grandmas and kids with nothing. But I would shit in Hillary’s mouth if I could. yeah, blue no matter who. But ffs, stop ripping off Bernie. He’s not that radical. At 55 years of age, I broke my orbit in a skatepark (I was pulling off Cabellaerials and handplants, but later, I face-planted and didn’t have a helmet.) I think if they tax people, ni66a’s should be able to go to the doctor. So does Bernie. Whatever. I’m drunk. I’m more likely to get drunk with my right-wing bros that lefties. Fucking Mexcalito got me again.
and Bernie’s polls just went up. thanks hilldawg!
“Nobody likes” Bernie and yet he is the county’s most popular senator and the forth most popular politician. How can HC be so wrong? Its almost like she’s living in some sort of establishment bubble sustained by corporate donations and hubris.
I love American Politics, It’s the worlds greatest democracy. I especially love the bit where if you hold the balance of power you can dictate your own rules for your impeachment. Brilliant! great use of tax payers money too. Whilst the Westminster system is very different we get to vote for our dictators as well. Its a great system.
I prefer Larry David when it comes to old New York Jewish guys.
You don’t think young Hills looks like Amber Heard? And what was the moment that sent her down crazy hole?
Amber, Yum.
Young Hills was yummy. Makes me feel dirty (as in needing to scrub with soap)
Amber better looking both batshit crazy. Once Hillary got in with the satanists and eating babies and shit is most likely when the demon entity posted up in her vessel causing her to appear crazy but its just the reptillian vs demon battle going on inside her that gives that appearance
You can have more than one, live a little.
Are we sure they aren’t really the same person?
It won’t matter. Just you might not see them in the same room at the same time is all.
Bernie Bros
