Are Americans Starting to Notice?
Via the WSJ, some bad news for Hillary Clinton:
Published in GeneralLast October, 42% of people polled said her use of a private email system while secretary of state was an “important factor” in whether to vote for her, a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed. A survey last month found that figure had jumped to 55%. What’s more, half of voters surveyed said she lacked the right judgment to be president based on a Federal Bureau of Investigation probe that showed she was careless in handling sensitive government information, compared with one-third who said she does have the right judgment.
Hillary could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and the coverage would still be about the latest Trump gaffe. I think 51% are resigned to a criminal sociopath in the White House in 2017.
I’m shocked by the number of people I talk to who simply aren’t paying attention -yet. We need to take a page from the liberal playbook and hammer her increasingly and relentlessly until November 10.
The public isn’t paying attention until after Labor Day in which case you stop wearing white and start looking for prison jumpsuit orange.
I have seen no evidence that she was careless. That’s just Hillary spin that the WSJ is using on her behalf.
Unless she has an aneurysm mid debate with Trump:
But wait wait, she is homogametic, meaning she has two identical chromosomes, a woman. Shouldn’t that cancel all other concerns? What are you, sexist? (sarcasm)
I’m afraid Hillary is going to win and then a plague of locusts will descend upon America. The GOP will not view her win as legit (“you didn’t win; that idiot Trump lost”) and her honeymoon will last approximately 5 nanoseconds. Then, China and Europe will suffer economic collapse, SCOTUS will go mad and take on the 2nd Amendment leading to the Beltway being shut down by protests, and voters will be counting the days until they can kick her out.
Of course, none of this means she won’t win in November. Whom the gods would destroy….
That is assuming trump even goes to the debate. Knowing trump he will simply say it was rigged and leave and that will take over the news cycle for a day which will cover up a cankles gaffe or crime.
US citizens, and I am certainly using the term loosely, have learned one major thing this election season: The Olympics are in a place in Florida named “RIO”. Most Americans think (“Think”!? hahahaha, stop it, I’m killing me) that Hilary is President. She is simply awaiting the imminent retirement of the Sir Obama to Kooleliteland, which he, after providing his invaluable service to ‘fundamentally disfigure Amerikka’, has decreed will be sometime in, say, early November…maybe during the TV network’s “sweep weeks”?
Meanwhile Donald Trump is playing the Stupid Republican foil in this seasons traditional Presidential election year TV show: “Republicans and constitutionalism are bad. Very, very bad”. It’s a ‘take-off’ on the ole Washington Generals (Donald) viz a viz the Harlem Globetrotters (insert Democrat here) bit. Simply Hillaryious…or would that be tragic. Sigh...
What difference, at this point, does it make?
Eggsactly. Just the death of a once great Republic. And, that just doesn’t make good TV.
The best darn line of this century. Capturing both the cynicism and despair of the age. It should be written in Latin and engraved on a block of marble.
Trump is so bad at running this general election campaign I don’t think it matters how bad it gets for Clinton. In Illinois the Dems chose to stick by a nominee who was indited by the Federal government all the way through his re-election, and then they subsequently impeached him. The same may happen to Clinton for all I know if they actually have something on her foundation (but I doubt that they do, because she probably destroyed all the evidence).
Why would she destroy evidence now? Who, that would matter, would “uncover” it? The Department of Justice? The Media? As Hillary has now learned, for a second time, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” Answer: none what so friggin’ ever.
Perhaps a lot. The last President before the Great Reboot is slouching towards DC to be borne on the wings of the MSM, their evil monkey faces grinning in the gathering darkness. The best will lack all conviction and instead seek ammo sales, a really durable can opener and mindlessly buy stuff with”tactical” on the label. Mere anarchy loosed upon the land may soon seem like the good old days as thousands take their own lives rather than hear that screeching laugh one more time… What difference, indeed.
I am afraid that the problem is and will remain that as bad as Hillary is, and she is terrible, that the majority of voters, Democrats and independents, see Trump as worse, and he is doing absolutely nothing to disspell that idea.
New York Times headline:
Hillary Clinton Unveils Plan to Reduce Carbon Emissions
ROFLMAO!
Heart Of Darkness part deux?
From the article:
…the parents of the would-be carbon terrorist say, “Emily was looking forward to starting Vassar in the fall”……”according to 538 blog, the emmiter only had about 23.45% chance of reaching her full potential, so, really this is for the best.”……”It points to the need for Congress to investigate the role that Exxon has in funding these people”, said John Podesta, a mere passer-by and witness to the near attack…
No
It will also depend on the meaning of “shoot” and whether the interception of a bullet without consent is theft. It was a personal, not an official government bullet so it is not clear that she need turn it over to investigators after digging it out of Emily with a campaign souvenir Ka-Bar. So , without the bullet and with only 104 eye-witnesses and 46 cell phone and surveillance videos there may not be enough evidence to recommend a criminal charge. And, after all, Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice also used guns at one time or another. And this endless unfair focus on Hillary just helps Republicans instead of our kids, like Emily.
Really, when you think about it, Hillary is the victim here.
notice what?

Not to get all Star Trek-y. But that would actually be the headline if she tried to pull a Governor Kodos move.
http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Kodos
Kodos… as in Kodos the executioner?
That is a complete and total smear and completely beyond the pale. A hatchet job orchestrated by the Gamesters of Triskellion and Fleet News Service. Governor Kodos was a tireless public servant dedicated to creating a dynamic and vibrant inclusive society that protected the rights of women, people of color, (including green Orion slave women), and the LGBTX (X=xenosexual) communities. Your offensive violent exclusionary rhetoric is the biggest problem we have in this Federation, abetted by your cronies in the military-industrial complex and their wealthy Ferengi donors.
