Proving what we all knew to be true, a newly released cache of bathroom server e-mails were released raising new questions about whether Hillary & Bill Clinton used the Clinton Foundation to personally enrich themselves by offering access and favors from HRC's State Department.
E-mails renew questions about Clinton Foundation and State Department overlap. Eric Lichtblau, New York Times
I am shocked! To find out the Clinton's were breaking the law and will face no consequences for it!
Round up the usual suspects and fire another staffer!
Then watch as she takes the oath of office (presumably with her hand on a Bible) for the Presidency of the United States of America.
Yes, Hillary Clinton is awful and yes it's true that, throughout her entire career, she's been known more for opportunism, riding her husband's considerable coattails and corruption than she has been for actual accomplishments. And yes it's more than somewhat likely a Clinton Presidency will be earmarked by crony capitalism, the politics of favoritism,some very, very sketchy business dealings, total disregard for the rule of law and corruption not seen since Bill tried to turn an intern into a humidor.
The American people know this, even honest-Democrats, in their quiet moments, know that they nominated a rank opportunist with a moral code that makes a petty thief look like a choir boy in comparison, We know that Hillary will sell out our safety and security for a large donation to the Clinton Foundation. We know all of this because it's already happened. And no matter how many times she attempts to "reintroduce" herself to us we know that, at heart, she really is a pretty awful human being, a pimple on the ass-crack of American society.
But none of this matter because......The GOP nominated Donald J. Trump to run against her.
The GOP took a look at all of their candidates, looked at the negatives that Clinton carried with her to the race (she's not even especially popular with Democrats) and decided to nominate the Brad Lidge to her Albert Pujols. The one man who could snatch defeat forcefully from the jaws of victory, who could possibly cause them to lose not only the Presidency, but the Senate and the House as well.
As a bonus they've exposed the party proper as racist, functionally illiterate, economically stupid and more sheep-like in their devotion to party over principle than even the Democrats.
Heckuva job Reince.
You know you're screwed in a political contest when the guy you nominated to head your ticket is the worst of the two options when Hillary Clinton is the other. In fact, it's so bad that the Senate and (yes) even the House GOP majorities could be in play. Trump has managed to alienate just about every minority group, social conservatives, fiscal conservatives and classical liberals that used to make up the old coalitions. What he's left with is an angry soup of misplaced rage, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity. Gross.
It's gotten so bad that the most ardent Democrats are concern-trolling without fear of reprisal.
The only answer that I can see is to stop voting and start living. Because the reality is your life is not going to be made better by Hillary Clinton, Donald J. Trump, Greg Abbott, this idiot or even this one. (h/t to Kevin from BlogHouston for the last two links) All politicians can do is make your life worse. So it's not up to you to go out, live it, and make it better.
#NeverTrump
#NeverHillary
#NeverVote
And yes, you can still gripe. Last I checked there's no voting requirement attached to the 1st Amendment. But, when the choices are all bad, not voting might be the wisest choice of all.
