“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.

Mr. Hopsicker, How about exploring just what Indiana Republican connections are?

I have never seen the political landscape so murky.
I’m trying to figure out the electorate and it doesn’t compute.
It is pro-pot and pro-Republican. Republican politicians are notoriously anti-pot.
What I like about America is that we get to choose our crooks, expecting that the crookedness will cease. It is inherent in the machine. Best to keep the machine as small as possible.
Honest government is an impossibility.
A more honest government is an outside possibility.
Google “Kay Griggs Talks” and let her seven hour interview on the sexual deviates and Zionists who run America convince you.

I was going to write something, but then could not be bothered.
Sure, Bush JNR and “The Saudi’s” did it. Maybe Barry Seal.
What was it former fat boy Aerial Sharon of Israel said to Simon Perez on Kol Yisrael radio…and reported on the BBC…”you always yell me America will do this and America will do that. Let me tell you, we the jewish people control America and the Americans know it.”
Don’t blame me – – – he said it.
How do they control it? Most of you have no idea that Israel is considered “technology juggernaut” and dominates all banking and telecommunications databases, government encryption services, police and intelligence agencies data interception equipment (VERINT) Booz Allen Hamilton (yeh THAT B.A.H) headed by Rabbi Dov Zackhiem, duel national Israeli/American citizen – who lost Three Trillion when comptroller for the Pentagon. Then Michael Chertoff, biggest single supplier of IT interception services via his private company – dual Israeli/American.
All of the big IT private entrepreneurs were all trained up under “OPERATION TALPIOT” – an Israeli Military Intelligence operation. Most notable graduate, Zohar Zispel. Head of RAD Group, the biggest of them all.
There home base is ‘The Technion’, where they train all their best after they thieve all the technology off the US taxpayer funded pentagon budget.
I’m sorry, but the Truth can sometimes hurt 🙁

When I would walk the prison oval with Roger we would have the best shouting matches on Israel. “Still praying for Israel Roger?” I would quip on the way to the food line. “Still getting your 70 virgin’s?” He would fire back. But we’re still friends.
I was just granted political asylum in Iran by the way.
I note your Web page loads fast from Iran Daniel.

His best mate is Roger Stone – ardent advocate for legal marijuana.
Israel has big interests in legal marijuana industry.
I guess until the world markets can wean themselves off the liquid drug money flow…it will be here to stay.
Interesting times.

THE WAR I WANT TO HAVE: between people who think Bernie Sanders is an independent, and people who think Hillary Clinton is a Democrat. My guess is there’s more of us than there are of them. Let’s get it on.
