No playground for you!

Hillary Clinton is being called “tone deaf” after her campaign scheduled a major campaign rally at a New York park for next weekend, forcing a planned children’s event to cancel.
The children’s event at Four Freedoms Park on Roosevelt Island, called “Imagination Playground,” was nixed to accommodate the Democratic presidential candidate and her husband, former President Bill Clinton, The New York Post reported.
Also in jeopardy is an annual celebration called “Roosevelt Island Day,” which features a blood drive and free rides for kids, which will be held at a senior center on June 13, the same day as Mrs. Clinton’s rally, The Post reported.
“It’s going to be horrendous logistically,” Sherie Helstien, vice president of the island’s community association, told The Post.
The island only has one main road.
Mrs. Helstien’s husband, Matthew Katz, who also served as president of the association, was incensed that residents didn’t receive notice of the rally from the Clinton camp....

What a great way to hurt your voter base.
Those children will be better off in the long run if Hillary becomes president so it’s all good.
Typical Clintoons
Each according to their need. Hillary! needed the park. Obviously she is a Clinton and therefore American royalty.
2DV, lately I have noticed a tenancy in you toward radical ideas. Get your mind right son. There is not room for everyman in the glorious peoples revolution.
History of Hillary...Children with cancer photo op from the American Spectator March 1997
>>So, to promote the new effort, showing how deeply Hillary cares about children, especially sick children in hospitals, Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington got a call. Hillary Clinton would be coming over soon with children’s author Maurice Sendak. Hillary’s advance team would be showing up arranging the security and logistics. The team did show up. What they saw horrified them.
The kids in the hospital children’s ward really looked sick! Some of them had tubes sticking out. Some had lost their hair to chemotherapy. Some were groggy because of the pain killers they had to take.
Hospital officials were quickly told this would not do. Hillary would look bad in a newspaper photo if she posed with sickly looking children. They were told. “No children that look drowsy, skip bald kids, sick looking kids, or kids with tubes sticking out.”
So here’s what the hospital actually did. They outfitted a hospital conference room with toys and kids decorations. They ordered hospital staff members to bring in their healthy children who would pose as sick children in photos with the great St. Hillary.<<

DFU sets of scandals that just don’t really make the news.

Define “force”.

I just can’t imagine who would want to go and hear this apparatchik spew out her cliches and lies.
That sure rings a bell. It fits her MO perfectly.
It does seem appropriate that she will be announcing on the site of a Victorian insane asylum.
Hopefully nobody shows up.
No one is more important than the Klintons. Got it!

But....But she’s a GRANNY....she can do NO WRONG!! Somehow this will all be for the CHILDREN.
“Don’t you know who I am?”
Apart from the optics, there is a legal question involved if the city took actions and/or expended funds to benefit a political campaign. Yes, I know this is New York, a party state, but the rest of us can still object.
Not enough diversity in that pic.
Wow! That did it...... She will NEVER carry New York now. (Do I really need that tag?)
