I would like to point out that it was Bill Clinton's telecommunications act that made the media consolidation possible. It was one of the worst pieces of legislation ever passed, creating the conglomerations we see today, eliminating a large number of independent voices, and pushing broadcasters across the country out of business and out of jobs. Having said that, Hillary was right.

Thanks for that comment. Unfortunately, Clinton's presidency was a reaction to the Reagan phenomenon, and not in a good way. The whole Democratic Leadership Council of that era that shifted Democratic politics to the right was abysmal. I could probably write an epic on that, but I'd rather not, lol.
Charles, You called that Democratic Party policy shift under Clinton to the right correct. The whole country started drifting that direction under Reagan. What IтАЩve always found ironic was of the dozen Democrats that started out in the 1992 primaries, Bill ClintonтАЩs policies were the ones furthest to the right, and Newt Gingrich still attacked those as being far left liberal. I can only imagine the heat other Democratic candidates could have received if one of them had ended up in the Oval Office.
And for the record, my wifeтАЩs oatmeal chocolate chip cookies use butter, not (probably hydrogenated soybean oil based and artery choking) shortening. A recipe adapted from a friendтАЩs elderly Maryland Eastern Shore grandmother. Professionally accomplished, doctorate degreed, published and internationally cited, mother of many cats, and a hell of a great cook.
They are. Huge globs of old fashion oats and gooey chocolate chips. Lots of brown sugar and brown sugar. She also bakes a variation with white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.

Thanks! And, oh my, those cookies sound great! :-)

Stop that. Now youтАЩre just being cruel. See? Watching all that MAGA stuff is rubbing off on you! :-)
