linkI can’t disagree with what he is saying. From John Pavlovitz 4-25-2018 ” Hillary Would Be Leading Us Right Now”“Several times a day I meet or encounter people like you. In a conversation about the unquestionably precarious days in this country; someone visibly disturbed by the facts being discussed, matter-of-factly tosses out those words; that sentence that sounds like the earworm of a woefully overplayed pop song, grating upon the ears every time you hear it: “Well, Hillary would have been worse.” This is abject nonsense, and if you’re saying it—you need to know how ridiculous you sound. It’s a continuation of the same tired, misogynistic, bot-fueled, fake news fantasy-land, 2016 narrative, declaring that Donald Trump; with his p*ssy-grabbing bravado, xenophobic tirades, truth allergies, intellectual ignorance, verbal diarrhea, public bullying, multiple bankruptcies, multiple wives, and multiple affairs—was somehow ever the “lesser of two evils” here. The idea that Hillary Clinton would have been remotely capable of the kind of wanton recklessness, legislative overreach, and civil rights assaults we’re experiencing right now in America, is so far afield of reality it should come replete with unicorns, leprechauns, and a Trump popular vote victory. Of course, those delivering such parallel universe prophecies, never have any specifics to offer about precisely how a Clinton Presidency would have eclipsed Trump’s in predatory behavior, political scandals, and legislative offenses—but that doesn’t prevent them from saying it with volume, authority, and repetition.That’s because these people need to believe this myth, in order to protect themselves from their culpability in creating this national cancer, in launching this global joke of a Presidency, in doing such damage to so many people. No, I don’t know with certainty what would be happening right now in a Hillary Clinton-led America, but I can tell you without hesitation what wouldn’t be happening: Millions of sick and poor Americans wouldn’t have spent the past 18 months fighting to not have their healthcare taken away and sabotaged by their Government. Our environmental protections and national parks wouldn’t be quickly evaporating. Thousands of kids wouldn’t be sleeping in cages, and there wouldn’t be ICE raids in hospitals rooms and church parking lots, and families of immigrants ripped apart without notice. Christian extremists wouldn’t be legislating their prejudices around sex education, gender identity, science, and school prayer. LGBTQ Americans wouldn’t be seeing their rights repealed and their voices not counted. We wouldn’t be facing incessant rounds of Travel Bans designed to vilify people of color. Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and Jeff Sessions wouldn’t have carte blanche to steamroll the will of the people. Bigoted monsters like Steve Bannon, Sebastian Gorka, and Stephen Miller wouldn’t have been allowed access to the White House or have had influence in our national trajectory. Nuclear weapons wouldn’t be used in social media exchanges as penial substitutes. Russia wouldn’t still be avoiding sanctions. This is all really quite simple: Hillary Clinton wouldn’t have been capable of the malice and malpractice Donald Trump is capable of, simply because she’s a rational, level-headed, intelligent, articulate, faithful, compassionate human being—and he is none of those things. She wouldn’t be having middle of the night Twitter rants. She wouldn’t be using mass shootings to marginalize Muslims. She wouldn’t be calling Nazis and racists “fine people.” She wouldn’t be playing patty cake with Vladimir Putin. (He is terrified of her.) She wouldn’t be attacking political opponent’s gender, national heritage, or physical characteristics. She wouldn’t be emboldening racists to march through streets in the light of day. She wouldn’t be leaving her response to mass shootings, to simply “thoughts and prayers” and more NRA coddling. She wouldn’t be daily tripping over herself for praise and credit and affirmation, like some insecure middle schooler. She wouldn’t still be holding rallies, in a desperate attempt to gather a choir of sycophants to shower her with adulation. She wouldn’t be attacking the integrity of the Free Press, the FBI, or the Judiciary. She wouldn’t be golfing hundreds of her days away at a property she was profiting from. She wouldn’t be stumbling and shoving and faking away moments of international diplomacy, because she lacked basic knowledge of the issues or the ability to be decent. She wouldn’t be trying to build a wall across our border that she’d lied about Mexico paying for. She wouldn’t be talking about pee tapes and lying about trips to Russia and explaining payoffs to prostitutes. She wouldn’t have had a revolving door Cabinet filled with white supremacists, creationists, and flat-earthers. She wouldn’t be praising murderous Russian dictators and slandering the FBI. Many of the people saying that Hillary Clinton would be doing anything remotely approaching the malevolence and incompetence of this President—are those who voted for him and realize what an unmitigated disaster he is. The only defense mechanism they have against that knowledge—is straining to believe our Government could somehow have been even more divisive; even more inept, even more racist, even more hostile to foreigners and the poor and the sick than it is now.This of course, is an impossibility—and rational adults understand this. Hillary Clinton wouldn’t have been a perfect President (no such President has ever existed)—but she would have been a President with dignity; one who worked hard, who studied carefully, who showed compassion for hurting people in times of crisis; one capable of restraint and empathy and reason. She would have put America first, not on website headers and rally banners—but in the way she protected all its people, in the way she celebrated its diversity, in the way she did her job. So friend, you’re welcome to keep throwing out the fantastical, baseless, conversation-stopping assertion that Hillary Clinton would have been worse than the fast food dumpster fire you’ve helped set here.
Just know—that I don’t believe you. I don’t believe you believe you. I think we both know that you sound ridiculous.

Oh no, they DO believe it. They believe it whole heartedly. And there lies the issue.
My absolute most favorite is “Hillary is dishonest, Hillary is a liar.”
Really? Your going to compare the two of them and point out that Hillary is a liar?

I was helping my mother (83) with her new tablet and something with facebook. This was about a year ago. I scrolled through her facebook feed and was horrified at what her friends were posting in support of Donald Trump. So far right and conservative - and pure ugly. My mom is easily manipulated and not one to think for herself at all. She is also fearful and a prime target for Nigerian prince schemes. I remember when the only thing I feared for her was email and phone scams. I died a bit the day she got a facebook account. I imagine what it must be like for her to read only that type of social media feed as her sole source of information.
That one and only time we had a heated discussion and I did not hold back of what I thought of her vote and all it represented. I gave her as many examples as I could think of (what was listed above in that article) and she looked at me and quietly said, "But Julee, Hilary LIES."
My mother is a kind person who would not hurt another human being of her own device. We have a challenging relationship to begin with and I have to compartmentalize like crazy with her anyway. This just put me over the edge.
But yes, there are people who believe exactly that. I am surrounded by them. And it makes absolutely zero rational sense.

I’ve had this opinion for a while... when someone tells me they believe Trump is a great president (or other such bullshit) I can’t even go on. It’s like they just told me that they think the earth is flat, and there’s no reasoning with that crazy.

Your going to compare the two of them and point out that Hillary is a liar? I love DH with all of my heart, but this topic makes me really perplexed and angry at him!!!! Out of nowhere he voted for Trump. He was a local politician back in his day, and he detested dishonesty. He was a staunch Dem and later on more neutral. He chose Trump for all of the reasons that older white guys fell for his shit. He believed Trump was a "successful, wealthy NY businessman". He didn't listen to my laundry list of Trump's criminal past. INstead, he chose Trump because he was "different" and because Hillary was "haughty". He claims to have many other reasons that "left no choice" but to vote for Trump (I'm still awaiting even an abbreviated list!!!!). But I'd LOVE to hear and possibly debate the HTC hatred! ETA : within a few months, DH realized that his electoral choice was a scammer and he wanted him out. Only NOW is he saying that Hillary would have been the better choice. Ya think?

They are both liars....Trump and HRC. I didn't vote for either one. While this is aimed at those who didn’t vote at all, I will include those who voted third party. And no I don’t know who or if you voted for a presidential candidate. But to me not voting for a presidential candidate or voting third party is the same. And while I disagree with those who voted for trump and will question their judgement, at least they showed up and voted for one of the two candidates that would win. From John Pavolvitz... This was written in December 2017 and since then things have gotten even worse. “To The 100 Million Americans Who Didn’t Vote in 2016”“I don’t think about you all that often. I’m usually too busy. Like many people, I’ve spent most of the waking moments over the past year fighting. I’ve spent much of my days pushing back, against: relentless assaults on healthcare, legislative attacks on Muslims, the gutting of environmental protections, emboldened nazis and racists marching without hoods, white supremacists in the Cabinet, nepotism in the White House, vanishing LGBTQ protections, evangelists and preachers defending rapists, oil pipelines dug into sacred lands, midnight tax bills leveling poor people and coddling the wealthy, a burgeoning Theocracy of Bible-sanctioned bigotry, ranting, nonsensical, nuke-baiting Tweets, the vilifying of kneeling black athletes, and on and on and on… The sheer volume of the violence has been so great and its velocity so fierce—that there has been little time to rest or to lose focus. By their design, there simply isn’t a moment to stop or breathe or to think of much else—let alone to dwell upon you. But every once in a while my mind does drift toward all of you; the 100 million eligible voters who opted out of the 2016 election—and I wonder what you’re thinking right now. I wonder what your story has been since that day: Did you realize on November 9th that you’d made a terrible mistake? Did you become overnight activists, immediately joining the resistance to a filth you felt you helped release? Did you walk in the Women’s March alongside grieving voters and feel a twinge of guilt? Are you mortified at your recognized error and still hiding in your anonymity? Did you simply stop paying attention to politics to avoid the shame it yielded? Have you convinced yourself that your vote wouldn’t have mattered? Are you fully sickened by what you’re seeing right now and merely silent? Are you perfectly happy with the country you see on your timeline and out your windows? Is this the change you were expecting by your silence? Do you feel any regret or remorse? Are you as disconnected now as you seemed to be then? Would you still opt-out, if the election were today? And ultimately I wonder if you believe this America was worth the hour or two you saved on that day in November. Honestly, I don’t like to think of you too often because I feel the sadness in me rise to the surface. I don’t want to resent you but I do. I don’t want to see you as complicit in the sickness we are now afflicted with, but I can’t help it. I don’t want my blood to boil at either your apathy or laziness or fatigue or spitefulness—but ocassionally it does. I don’t want to still be disheartened thinking about you, but I am. While I may not agree with those who voted Third Party while knowing the likely impact of their decision on the outcome, or those who cast a vote as some middle finger revolt against the status quo—at least they spoke, they participated in the process, they stood for something—even if it’s something I am fully opposed to. I do blame those who voted third party for this mess.I much prefer an honest, visible adversary than a silent one I can’t see. The number is still beyond belief. 100 million people. 100 million people thought so little of the freedoms Americans who came before them protested and were jailed for, were beaten and imprisoned for, fought and died for—that they would simply abstain. 100 million people didn’t find a compelling enough reason to leave the house and allot a couple of hours to speak into the future of their children, of their country, of the planet. 100 million people just opted out of one of the most critical responsibilities we have as citizens of this country. And for whatever reason, you were among this multitude. I’ve heard every reason and excuse, every justification and motivation and I honestly don’t disregard them—it’s just that none of them seem to be worth this unequivocal mess we currently find ourselves stuck in.If you are one of those 100 million people who stayed home last November when you were eligible to vote, I hope your abstaining was a momentary lapse; some perfect storm of anger and exhaustion and frustration. I hope you’ve engaged or re-engaged the political process now, that you’ve found your personal activism, that you are intentionally leveraging your influence again. I hope you’re working hard for equality and justice and diversity, that you’re openly opposing hatred. I hope you are using your voice in more ways than by not using it. I don’t know why you were silent in 2016, but I want you to know that your silence was costly regardless. Your abstinence was loud, and so your presence now needs to be even louder in making it right. Today tens of millions of us will continue to be the kind of people the world needs, we will keep pushing back against so much that seems so very wrong since the election, and I really hope to see you alongside us—even if we never meet or have a conversation about the election. No matter why you stayed home then, I truly hope you’re with us now. I hope you’ve joined us in the fight against the hateful people in power because we need you. I hope you’ll raise your voice in these days, because the world needs to hear you. Please speak.“

I know people who voted for every race BUT President. That's their right. I do blame those who voted third party for this mess. No this mess was made by both parties supporting two liars.

I know people who voted for every race BUT President. That's their right. I do blame those who voted third party for this mess. No this mess was made by both parties supporting two liars. So when you SHOWED up and voted third party just exactly what did you expect to happen? I mean did you think your third party candidate would win? Or were you sending a message? A message to who? IMO, your vote was irrelevant and that is not the definition of SHOWING up. As to Hillary the great liar. Name 5 of her biggest whoppers. You keep saying she is a liar so I assume you know what she is lying about and that being the case it should be a simple matter for you to share with us what you perceive as her 5 biggest lies. Of course I don’t expect you to provide the list. I find that when one asks someone to be specific about Hillary’s transgressions one either gets nothing but silence or some vague response that tells you nothing. I almost deleted this response because it is kind of snarky, I believe what I wrote but thought maybe I could make a bit less harsh. But decided not to. trump should never been elected president and everyday he reminds us why. I believe that Hillary has her flaws, we all do, but at her worst she would never do the callous things that trump is doing. The latest, he has literally signing the death warrant for thousands of Kurdish Rebels that helped our military fight ISIS Allies who did most of the fighting. Add to that, they are denying visas to Iraqi individuals who acted as interpreters to our military and by doing so put their lives in danger. In fact I read where one guy was beheaded for helping our military. Add to that, the administration is potentially signing the death warrants for a bunch migrant kids that are here getting medical care that is literally keeping them alive, care they can’t get in their own countries. The trump administration sent these kids letters saying they had to leave the country in 30 days. After an outcry from a lot of different places it appeared the trump administration backed down. But now it seems that the administration didn’t and those kids are still in limbo as to whether they can stay and get the medical care they need. Care they can only get in this country. What kind of country does this stuff to people who help us and kids that need help they can only get here? The country that trump is building is the answer. So when people who claimed they showed up when they voted third party, trump is proving every goddamn day they didn’t. So own it.

OH and for the record...I hate DT with a passion. What he is doing to us as a nation is horrible. And what he is doing to other nations etc along with immigrant children....is also horrible.

Most of the ‘fault’ for Benghazi actually falls to Obama & the mistakes he made, he was the one who could have done something. Hillary is just the scapegoat. I knew someone who worked at the state department at the times& they sent out several warnings to all employees thru out the area over several countries saying what could be said. People were told not to report to work, not to stay in known ‘American’ areas or quarters if possible. ( not always possible ). Hillary could not callman airstrije it any military actions at the time nor could she release classified information. I’m not, never was, a Hillary fan but the whatever went wrong with Benghazi ( and we will probably never know the truth ) is on Obama The Email server she screwed up on. But hey, this administration has used both unsecured servers & unsecured phones. After the numerous hearings I was willing to bet Hillary wouldn’t have emailed Chelsea on an unsecured device if she won. But it always goes back to Obama throwing her under the bus for Benghazi

But hey, this administration has used both unsecured servers & unsecured phones. After the numerous hearings I was willing to bet Hillary wouldn’t have emailed Chelsea on an unsecured device if she won. But it always goes back to Obama throwing her under the bus for Benghazi Remember Enough from the old board? She posted the link to Senate Intelligence Committee report on Benghazi and I read it. In that report was a lot of information of what went wrong and recommendations on how to insure it didn’t happen again. The following 7 hearings really didn’t uncover any additional information. What it boiled down to was this... 1. The Obama Administration, in a hurry to release information after the attack, did so without having all the facts. At the best of times it’s hard to get information out of there but during this it was almost impossible. There is a part in the report where the CIA in Libya was getting information by reading the newspaper. While the Obama Administration should have been a little slower in releasing information until they had all the facts, if they had, they would have been slammed for withholding information. Damed if you and damned if you don’t. in the big picture that video never should have been made as important as it became. That was nothing but a red herring thrown by the Republicans. 2. All decisions made about security were made with the understanding the agreement made with The Libyan officials to protect the embassies in Libya would be honored. They were not. The Libyan law enforcement stood by while the mobs attacked the mission in a Benghazi. It took the folks at the nearby CIA compound to come to the rescue of the folks at the mission. And even the head guy at the CIA compound delayed going waiting for the Libyan law enforcement to step up. Was this a odd agreement to make? If a foreign embassy is attacked in the US, who protects it? The police force of that city. Which brings up the question was the Obama Administration decisions responsible for Benghazi or was it the State Department doing business the way they had been doing it for years, long before President Obama and Hillary came on the scene? How to address these issues were made in recommendations in the report. The Trey Gowdy hearing, which was hearing number 8, was suppose to check if the recommendations made in the Senate Intelligence Report were implemented, instead it turned into a “get Hillary Clinton because damn, she is running for president and we can’t have that” hearing. So who knows if all the recommendations were implemented.
