Come back with me to the days of yesteryear, when Republicans cast Hillary Clinton as a likely purveyor of our countrys most closely-guarded secrets, a woman so apparently guilty of nefarious doings, lock her up! became the battle cry of Trumpsters intent on seeing her imprisoned for her alleged crimes.
It was a simpler time, to be sure because now we have people in the White House who have had a years worth of access to highly classified information, despite not being able to get a security clearance. Feel safer now?
So tell me, Republicans because its a story we all love hearing, again and again how the nation teetered on the precipice due to HRCs email server. God only knows what closely-guarded national secrets might have found their way into our enemies hands due to her carelessness. But be advised, its a story that now pales by comparison to an actual (so-called) president who didnt bother with emails, but simply handed classified information to the Russians right there in the Oval Office. So much for protecting national security, eh?
Do you want to talk about Hillarys speaking fees now or would you rather talk about Jared Kushner accepting a half-billion dollars in loans to bail out his family business, while using his position as an advisor to the pResident to negotiate those loans? Or maybe we can talk about his desire to set up a back door channel to the Russians, so that the WH could communicate with our enemies directly without anyone in the US government being aware of it.
Do you want to talk about Hillarys shady dealings now or would you prefer to discuss the indictments, and the guilty pleas, of all of those best people Trump hand-picked to advise him and carry out his agenda?
Do you want to talk about Hillarys alleged loyalties to the wealthy which rendered her out-of-touch with the hard-working middle-class or would you rather talk about your pResidents tax reform, which only benefits the wealthiest individuals and corporations, and leaves the average American family still struggling to make ends meet?
Do you want to talk about Hillarys blatant dishonesty or would you rather talk about the fact that thus far, your pResident has been clocked-in at an average of five-plus lies per day since hes been in office?
Do you want to talk about Hillarys alleged ties to shadowy underworld types or would you rather talk about your pResidents long-standing and well-documented ties to organized crime?
Do you want to talk about Hillarys totally laughable involvement in a child sex-slave ring or would you rather talk about the many, many women who have accused the self-proclaimed pussy-grabber-in-chief of sexually molesting them?
Do you want to talk about the investigations into Hillarys email server, her role in the events in Benghazi, and her willingness to answer any and all questions about both or would you rather talk about your pResident desperately trying to avoid being questioned by Muellers investigative team with respect to his possible collusion with our nations enemies, the Russians?
Do you want to talk about Hillarys penchant for being self-serving or would you rather talk about your pResident using the office of POTUS to promote his brand and increase his personal wealth?
Do you want to talk about Hillary being unfit for the office of POTUS or would you rather talk about your pResidents inane tweets, his easily-debunked lies, his inability to grasp the workings of government, and his ridiculous buffoonery on the world stage?
Do you want to talk about your pResidents business acumen or would you rather talk about his bankruptcies, or the investors he left holding the bag when his much-touted business enterprises went belly-up?
Yeah, GOP, we have a lot to talk about the problem being that you seem to have your fingers permanently embedded in your ears, while yelling la, la, la, I cant hear you.
Everyone with a functioning brain or even a modicum of common sense knows that your pResident is an abysmal failure not only as the leader of a nation, but as a husband, a father, a businessman, and a human being. So when are you going to wise up?
Until you do, Im afraid that trying to talk to you is an exercise in futility. Fortunately, the conversation about your idiot pResident is ongoing not only at home, but around the world. And whether you choose to participate in the discussion or not is no longer relevant, or of any consequence whatsoever.

Get straight, get RIGHT! Get behind the POT Party, the Party Of Trump!
Go back to Russia, where the real Americans know how to get behind a real man.
Get back, Loretta

(253 posts)I will never, ever, EVER, forgive any breathing person who cast a vote for T.rump. I do not want to hear of forgiveness, healing, coming together for the sake of the nation...blah, blah, blah. I do not want to hear that they regret their vote and have changed their minds. I am barely speaking to my elderly parents who still support this pos-ident & everyone else has been unfriended and I'm permanently done with. So there.

You are correct when you say talking to them is an exercise in futility.

Thank you for all you put forth so succinctly.

(15,536 posts)Unfortunately, it will never change the minds of those who are too ignorant and or stubborn/immature to admit they were "taken" by this charlatan. My only hope is that some of them do what's right and at the very least admit to themselves they were wrong and either abstain from voting and let the informed people vote or inform themselves better next time.
I'm not very optimistic at this point. The rest of us need to do the heavy lifting and turn this around come November and then again in 2020.

(43,146 posts)"Emails" were a strategy devised to point the finger at the opposition so they could deflect scrutiny of their own criminal transgressions.
They enjoy the sadistic nature of that blame, that you lose while they win and walk off scot-free. They think you'll never figure it out. Funny about that.

(2,120 posts)... if challenged on Hillary I would wager money that the idiots who still support Trump will just double down on the lies and insanity. They'd immediately start shrieking Hillary was guilty, guilty, guilty of this, that and the other thing, the corrupt FBI refused to indict her and is now wasting their time investigating Trump when they should just endlessly, eternally and forever investigate the Clintons until their dying day, Killary Killary Killary, the Clintons stole money, sold uranium, ripped people off via Clinton Foundation, and my personal favorite, they had hundreds or thousands of people killed.
Anyone left who still supports that piece of fucking shit we have as a fake "President" will undoubtedly spew the above crap and more, ending with screaming about how Hillary would have been the worst President ever, thank God for Trump and all that stupid shit. Because that's what they themselves are: stupid shit.
