“They were careless people, Bill and Hillary – they smashed things up and retreated back into their money and their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess.”
That the media and Democratic party elite made Hillary the Democratic nominee, despite a decided lack of enthusiasm for her candidacy among party rank-and-file, seems almost too obvious to mention.
Except, it’s not. It’s key to understanding what — for most of us — is an especially dispiriting moment in America.
Pointing a finger of blame at some of the fatuous cretins we’re been forced to endure on TV for two years may help pierce the gloom a little, and inspire a few rueful smiles. Schadenfreude can be fun, even if it’s difficult to pronounce.
As long-time Washington fixture Alice Roosevelt once said, “If you can’t say something good about someone, come sit by me.”
Any post-mortem explaining how Donald Trump became the 45th President of the United States begins by pointing to the rigged Democratic primaries that anointed Hillary Clinton the party’s standard-bearer. As was painfully obvious last night, voters didn’t want Hillary Clinton. So, who did?
Those whose hands were on the levers of the rigged Democratic primaries. The fix was in, as was clear to anyone with eyes to see: (CLICK PICS TO SEE STORIES)
Some of America’s biggest media shills, like Chuck Todd of NBC’s Meet The Press, made a point of deliberately looking the other way. When Wikileaks began publishing leaked DNC emails, the reason for Todd’s deliberate obtuseness became clear.
Leaked Emails Show DNC Chair Told Chuck Todd Negative Coverage ‘Must Stop’
Todd dismissed talk that primaries had been rigged for Hillary Clinton as taboo, beyond the pale, and nonsense. Strangely, even Donald Trump knew better than that.
The BREXIT election counted actual paper ballots, and was clearly not rigged. The example was lost on everyone in America’s bought-off media.

The leaked DNC emails showed the Democratic contest had been rigged against Bernie Sanders. His lack of response showed him to be too much the gentleman, and was the death knell for his campaign.

Even after Democratic Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was exposed as a Clinton shill and she was forced to resign, Hillary Clinton refused to repudiate her, and even gave her a job in her campaign.

Hillary Clinton’s contempt for Sanders’ supporters (who she unwisely thought she wouldn’t need) was most apparent in her feckless choice of a running mate.
While the media rightly excoriated Donald Trump for deliberate vagueness, even on his own signature issues like immigration and the wall, no one mentioned that Hillary Clinton was also totally ignoring the real and difficult issues facing the country. Like the role of drug money in the world’s largest banks, and the fact that they operate completely above the law.
Then, too, Barack Obama’s “Three Amigos” summit made clear American involvement in the illegal drug trade remains as taboo as it ever was under Nixon.
Does anyone recall Hillary Clinton’s position on the phony Drug War? Did she have one?
Disclosure that a new TRILLION-DOLLAR jet fighter didn’t work, and was probably a waste of money, caused nary a ripple. Does anyone recall Clinton addressing it? (I didn’t think so.)
Nor did talk about the cover-up of Saudi involvement in the 9/11 attack ever make it into Hillary Clinton’s issue-free campaign.
The conclusion is inescapable. She deserved to lose. But of course we’re the real losers. Scott Fitzgerald’s judgment on rich socialites Tom and Daisy Buchanan comes to mind. 
“They were careless people, Bill and Hillary – they smashed things up and then retreated back into their money and their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
We’ll be cleaning up this mess for a very long time.
The fact that Bernie Sanders, even when it was all brought to light that the Hillary campaign had the entire game rigged against him, endorsed her and campaigned for her proves that he is a useless coward too. He has spent almost his entire political career as an Independent anyway; he owed no obligation to the DNC to back her. But in the end, he did anyway. So Bernie can fuck off too.

And who are some of the leaders of the Medical Cannabis movement? Rabbi Kahn – Tacoma Wellness Center – DC.

Trump did a 180 on the Drug War. He used to be against it before he was for it.
My hope is that he can count. Medical Cannabis got 71% in Florida. Trump got 49%.
Go brush yer teeth, KKKingy baby. Yer breath stinks.
CORA RICHMOND: read the Wikileaks emails. The DNC built Trump up on purpose suggesting he would be the easiest to beat. 😀
No one here talks about AIPAC and Zionism – the real problem of America.
Who do you actually think is all over South America the last 50 years? Who do you think controls the drug trade at the grass roots level? Those private intelligence agencies within the agencies are all hard core Zionists and regulars at Epstein parties where Netanyahu takes his camera.
Israel has half the congress under its direct control. The other half it just threatens.
Steve Bannon of Brietbart recommended by Roger Stone as Trumps Chief Of Staff :-I
Next it will be Netanyahu for Secretary of state.
God help us, I am Trump already.
Dr Steve Piexzenik playing footsies with the likes of Rudolf Guliani?
There is something afoot already. There should be heads on pikes – the neo-cons especially.
dinn, obviously the real establishment candidate won. The deep state will not be “trumped”. (which isn’t to say that Clinton was not in their pocket as well, because she obviously was)

IMO, the media is the root cause of this. They built trump up for a year, deceptively promoted him and lack of reporting Bernie Sanders were just the beginning. The media and the powers to be forced two grossly flawed candidates on us. The end result is not pretty. The DNC and media ignored the people and were deceptive. Until we the people have a trustworthy, honest media we are doomed and the people will continue to rebel in any way possible til this ends.
Thank You for your article.
We are a strong nation and we will survive this dismal, rocky road.
This is the best thing since sliced bread or a Cayman Island bank account with a Lear Jet hauling cash. I’ve stashed the pop corn. This is the best presidency…ever.
With new president Dr Steve Pieczenik and a nationalist clique of pentagon and intelligence people running the country now I’m sure alot of changes are afoot. Not to mention that guy, what’s his name? Trump? He looks pretty entertaining and fresh and clean as one can be after a Jeffrey Epstein party, with Bi Bi Netanyahu taking pictures.
Who’s worried about Trump? It’s president Pieczenik I’m worried about. God Willing, he will live up to everyone’s expectations.
And to think Daniel, Trump got through the entire campaign and never mentioned this four letter word, M-E-N-A.
Now pass the pop corn.
