Hillary Hates Taxes and other Hillaryous things

[gotbeer]

For a while I thought that Kevin Spacey's character in House of Cards was like Trump.  But now, it seems like he is more Hillary than anything.  That she doesn't want to run anymore, but realizes that she could do more good in politics.  Sure does sound like she is going to chase the money that dried up at the Clinton Foundation and become a lobbyist, where the real power is.

Clinton: ‘I am done with being a candidate’

What a sad day.  Now Bill will only have the Presidential Museum interns to select from.

This is kinda like Brandon Wood being done as a MLB baseball player.

Amazon deletes one-star reviews of Hillary Clinton's new book

https://www.yahoo.com/news/amazon-steps-trump-supporters-trash-130010734.html

[red321]

You forget the part where they mentioned those 1 star reviews were from people who most likely didn't read the book, in some cases even admitting so. 

 

[Amazing Larry]

Should I just post the whole fuckin story?

You forgot the part of the article that states Amazon rarely deletes reviews. Why didn't you mention that Red?

Didn't Netflix do the same thing to the Amy Schumer reviews?

Oh Jeebus. This is actually something to you? 

It seems to me that a deluge of BS reviews for a product on day one of release falls out of the norm, thus calling for a situation that allows for things that are done "rarely."

When's the last time a microSD card or something like that came out that got slammed with negative reviews on day one from unverified purchasers? I'm sure the volume here was probably overwhelming. Hell, I bet there's probably no precedent for the volume that they saw day one. It's so highly visible. Maybe Trump can get someone to write another book for him so that we'll have an item where you'll see a similar amount of BS comments from the other side's nutters with nothing better to do.

I just find it amusing that when something doesn't jibe with Bezos' train of thought Amazon will skew reviews.

So they proved all of those one stars were from people who didn't read the book or just deleted them because... Hillary?

I think Hutzler's bannana slicer is going to end up with more favorable reviews but Amazon hasn't deleted any of the unfavorable. 

Of the two products I would be more inclined to buy the bannana slicer.

If you are going to misquote it, than you probably should. 

Amazon is rarely moved to delete reviews so publicly, although in November negative comments under a book by anti-Trump broadcaster Megyn Kelly appeared to be removed by the retailer. 

Speaking to Fortune, a spokesperson from the company said: "In the case of a memoir, the subject of the book is the author and their views. It’s not our role to decide what a customer would view as helpful or unhelpful in making their decision. We do however have mechanisms in place to ensure that the voices of many do not drown out the voices of a few and we remove customer reviews that violate our community guidelines."

Out of the 40 plus 1 star reviews...not a single one was a verified purchase and reviews were left on the day the book was released...even you can connect the dots

I for one am glad that Amazon is striving to maintain the integrity of their reviews. Also, this: https://www.amazon.com/Images-SI-Uranium-Ore/dp/B000796XXM

I see reviews are also subject to "deletion" by the Clintons.

Did they remove unverified positive reviews? The reason I ask is the Democrats have this reputation of not reading something before heaping praise on it.

Really, we have to appreciate Tank's autocorrect acting with knowledge of his search history, don't we?

He had help from "Ted Cruz's intern."

I have no idea what Trump's New Yorker cover looked like (or if he had one), but it would be fitting to have him in the chair and facing the other direction, with blue and white light from his phone illuminating his face.
