Never saw MM trash anyone. Not ever. Always the voice of reason. That image is inappropriate.
Will go on to say BSers make hay trashing Hill for associations in her job as SOS. Kissinger, what was she suppose to do? Punch him in the face? Their is a thing called diplomacy, most world leaders abide by that. Obama did, even the most hated, he tried.

(131,458 posts)Was very surprised to see it.

(53,475 posts)Was Hillary just being diplomatic when she praised Kissinger as a trusted advisor in her book?

Trump also said he donated to Hillary, which got him the results he wanted when he picked up the phone and called her.
We've seen photos of Hillary gazing fondly at Kissinger, too, even leaning in to kiss him. Wen questioned, she said admiring things about that criminal. And it turned out they vacation together. http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/02/hillary-clinton-kissinger-vacation-dominican-republic-de-la-renta
So, maybe certain photos are not as meaningless as you think. Maybe you're just failing to see the difference between the kind of photo you posted and other photos.

(8,020 posts)bonus or otherwise?
merrily
(45,251 posts)First, I don't kiss everyone who gives me an award. Hell, I don't even kiss people who pay me a bonus.
Second, google images has many pics of Hillary looking adoringly at Kissinger. Choose whichever one you prefer.
Third, she's called the criminal a mentor.
Fourth, the article I linked speaks of how close a personal relationship the Clintons have with a criminal.
So, your nitpicking deflection attempt is totally beside the point.

The one in my OP is not protocol. It's two friends having a hug and a laugh while drinking from dainty tea cups. It's two oligarchs rolling together through their rich, privileged world. Her nose is practically buried in his neck, for gawd sake.

Which politician in the world is ever honest and accountable to the people of their country who elects them? None, once they get elected, that is the end. We the voters do not count anymore.

(1,901 posts)and screw anyone and anything that gets in the way of that purity, no matter what. It's how Ted was able to shut the government down and it's why Bernie has literally no credibility or power in the Senate, they simply have no ability to work with anyone to get anything done.
Bernie is even more partisan than Cruz, and that's saying something.

(45,850 posts)The former First Lady lavished praise on the man who defeated George H.W. Bush in 1992, lovingly saying that Clinton is a good fellow who is very thoughtful about calling.
He never said a mean word about anyone, she said in an interview with Parade Magazine set to appear this weekend.
She even revealed that her sons - including, of course, George W. Bush, who followed Clinton into the Oval Office - call him My brother by another mother.
Hes very nice, Barbara Bush continued. I think she thinks of George [Sr.] as the father he never had

Because nothing highlights a funeral like brutally assaulting someone
It's (or should be) a nothing event.
They were at a funeral. They were pleasant and cordial to each other as most people try to be, especially at a funeral of someone with the prestige of Nelson Mandela
But, oh well, I can hope that the person who put up the pic didn't know it was from a funeral (anyone's funeral)
R B Garr
(17,022 posts)can't stand the people they have to salute, but they do it anyway. How many people can't stand other people at work or in their neighborhood, but they act sensible towards them anyway. Only in fantasy land can we go around kicking people and spitting on them or cursing them out if we can't stand them. How utterly fantastical to think that people don't act with decorum. Disturbing the peace with silly emotional outbursts towards others is just fantasy for the internet.
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)as per their newbie expectations. it;s like they think they can wish themselves into a perfect system. bizarre stuff.

(30,254 posts)I guess some of you live in a state of constant outrage. The rest of us have to deal with people at work and in life who we may not particularly agree with or even like. Bush's dad and Bill are close, not so much Hillary (although she and Laura have become friends).
There are only a handful of men who have served as president. Once they are out of office, they form part of a very exclusive club. Expect to see similar photos of Obama in the future.

so does this guy the one she calls a mentor
She seems to have an affinity for War Criminals.
