Clinton is problematic as fuck, but holy shit the difference between reading this and the “your mom” outrageously stupid sounding bullshit the current admin puts out is so remarkable. I do so miss having smart people at the top. Say what you want about Clinton and Obama, at least both were wicked smart and able to communicate well.
Bill Clinton tweet: Everything Slick Willy should say
Angry Leftists: Bah! You suuuuuck! Fuck you Clinton! BlAARghh! DEAaaaaaTH! Deth to ALL!1
Me: Huh.
Yeah people really struggle to hold two thoughts at once these days
I understand the criticism of Clinton. I would also appreciate it more if people from ALL parties, especially the GOP would step up for basic human rights and if they would write such letters
Not sure what it is like in other countries, but you should know that it is extremely RARE in US politics for a former president to speak out against the current president. Even rarer to issue a formal statement.
Yeah, that’s cute. We’re a little past the point where the ruffling of the ruling class’ powdered wigs impresses anyone.
Not sure the little kids screaming for their parents care.
I don’t think folks getting their faces kicked and scraped against the pavement care.
Trump is never mentioned in his letter.
To make matters even worse, at every turn, the people in charge have lied to us, told us not to believe what we’ve seen with our own eyes, and pushed increasingly aggressive and antagonistic tactics, including impeding investigations by local authorities.
He had to release as statement because he’s the embassador of Epstein Island, Trump’s former position.
Except, you helped significantly get us here, Bill.
You and you shitty fucking wife, not only moved the Overton Window MUCH further right with your presidency, but you and your wife forced themselves upon Dem voters in 2016 regardless of the fact you were and are both insanely unpopular with the voter base.
You’re an asshole. Hillary is an asshole. You both enabled this shit, and should be held accountable too.
… and the statement is typical of the milquetoast “strongly worded letter” response that made Democrats into the weak hand they are now
Well that’s a revisionist republican take. Dude balanced the budget. Hillary’s primary was fair, Bernie was never popular with registered Democrats, he was never going to win and anybody not buying republican bullshit was well aware of it. If anything Clinton pulled the window left before 9/11 and revenge of the Bush put the final nails in the coffin.
That’s cute, Bill, but are you going to ban Trump from sucking your dick until he defunds ICE? Because until you take that step, this is all talk.
Says the man whose wife gave us Trump.
What actions of a lifetime are you (Bill, not OP) suggesting to stop ICE?
We now live in a world where Slick Willy is a voice of reason.
We already lived in a world where Dan Quayle saved Democracy, at least for a few years
Do you mean caused the defeat and put curious George in the whitehouse? That shite family was the worst for your country and helped get you where you are today.
No. I mean calmly explained to Pence that there was no way to legally justify doing what Trump wanted him to.
Oof.
Potatoe
Very strongly worded letter
Slam!
That’s a large amount of inaccessible text.
Post needs link to source.
Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:
- usability
- we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can’t
- reflow text to varied screen sizes
- vary presentation (size, contrast)
- vary modality (audio, braille)
- accessibility
- lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
- some users can’t read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
- users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
- web connectivity
- we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
- we can’t explore wider context of the original message
- authenticity: we don’t know the image hasn’t been tampered
- searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
- fault tolerance: no text fallback if
- image breaks
- image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.
Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.
- usability
When Democrats talk, I am reminded of this:
