“... the successor of the NIT; you could also argue that the compulsory-work component was the seed for Clinton’s punitive ‘workfare’ policy, ‘the end of welfare as we know it’, in 1996.It might seem counterintuitive that the first serious attempt at a sort of UBI should have come from the political right. But the right loves UBI – or rather, it loves ...”

“... leaving him with nothing in his voice but a high-pitched squeak of disdain. Norquist is the man Hillary Clinton described as the leader of the right-wing conspiracy in America; others have called him the Grand Central Station of American conservatism, the president of tax reform, or, as television nabob Bill Moyers prefers, ‘the most powerful man in ...”

“... which is centrist with occasional aspirations to the left. The series began as a commentary on the Clinton administration, then after Bush ‘won’ in 2000, became an alternative reality, one in which a weekly dose of uplift was balanced by an unstated but powerful current of pessimism about the realities of American politics. It was entertaining, and ...”

“... The Vehmgericht of staffers had obviously drawn their own conclusions about what went on in Mr Clinton’s nooky hole. Drudge has a regular feature on Fox News. The cheesiest of the cable channels, Fox has embraced the ‘hard copy’ school of ‘sleazoid’ newscasting. Fox ran the tape (with Ms Jiggler’s face blurred) as an exclusive on their Saturday ...”

“... a report saying that the Russians had waged an internet disinformation campaign to damage Hillary Clinton and help Trump. ‘Moscow’s influence campaign followed a Russian messaging strategy that blends covert intelligence operations – such as cyber-activity – with overt efforts by Russian government agencies, state-funded ...”

“... have refused to learn the lessons of 2016. Biden’s campaign was only a tweaked version of Hillary Clinton’s failed playbook. This was illustrated most forcefully by Republican gains among Latino voters in several states. It is not particularly surprising that wealthy Cuban and Venezuelan exiles, screeching about communists on the ...”

“... who believe that tax cuts are evidence of enlightenment. The Democrats had grown complacent (Hillary Clinton was so sure she would win Wisconsin in 2016 she scarcely visited). The sport of working-class people voting against their own interests has become a dependable spectacle in 21st-century America. Milwaukee remains one of the country’s most ...”

“... The BBC, whose coverage of British politics looks increasingly lame, has been hopeless at Obama v. Clinton. It’s not enough any longer for a correspondent to paint some local colour about the weather or the quirks of the voting system before asking a seasoned observer from the New York Times or Washington Post to explain to a British audience what it all ...”

“... but not exceptional. The unusual thing is the degree to which his followers took his assaults on Hillary Clinton’s character literally. Not just the hateful chants of ‘Lock her up,’ but the fact that, according to one poll, 40 per cent of his supporters in Florida agreed with the statement that Clinton was ...”

“... a second time. Some reports suggest that, in sponsoring the National Coalition, Qatar was doing Hillary Clinton’s bidding. Qatar’s move irritated the Saudis and incited them to closer involvement. Riyadh was flatly opposed to any negotiations with the government and advocated arming the rebels; Washington, London and Paris were soon publicly ...”

“... range from the still painful memory of 2016 to the reorientation of the party personified by Bill Clinton in the 1990s; from Stuart Hall on the right turn in 1970s Britain to Bertolt Brecht writing from 1930s exile. But there are two distinct strands in all the opinion and argument. From the left, Gabriel Winant in Dissent pinpoints the ‘solipsism and ...”

“... and were accused of American arrogance.’ Following the trial, US Senator Maria Cantwell wrote to Hillary Clinton to alert her to the anti-Americanism in the courtroom – though Sollecito, an Italian, was being tried too. Was there ‘anti-American sentiment’ among the colpevolisti? The resentment, even, of a former imperial power towards the current ...”

“... has its echo in the divide on the liberal left in the United States between Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Might not – should not – anti-austerity actually be austerity for the rich, rather than for the poor? Might not the answer to public spending cuts be private spending cuts, that is, tax increases for the well-off? The arrival of ...”

“... supporter of UDI, sponsored the Zimbabwe Democracy and Economic Recovery bill (another sponsor was Hillary Clinton) and it became law in December that year. Part of the act was a formal injunction on US officials in international financial institutions to ‘oppose and vote against any extension by the respective institution of any loan, credit or ...”

“... This is hardly a radical idea, but the Lobby doesn’t tolerate even-handedness. During the Clinton administration, Middle Eastern policy was largely shaped by officials with close ties to Israel or to prominent pro-Israel organisations; among them, Martin Indyk, the former deputy director of research at AIPAC and co-founder of the pro-Israel Washington ...”
