I find the irony in her jesting to Trump for his business losing a billion dollars. As Colin Powell's leaked e-mail said, "Everything HRC touches she kind of screws up with hubris." Colin Powell was trying to explain to Clinton about using a private server to backdoor e-mail's. It's so destructive to see these 'characters' manipulate their way to victory, interfering in so many lives, yet end up failing like a cartoon character in Loony Tunes.

While I don't disagree about Clinton and her hubris, it seems silly to be celebrating it now considering the new administration is taking moves right from her playbook, like the current cabinet hanging onto private email accounts. It was obvious that HRC was doing it to avoid the accountability of a papertrail, we talked about it all through the election, and now the new administration is embracing the same old bullshit.

To call a spade a spade though: New cabinet members were found using their RNC emails (according to a reporter from the most evidence I have seen) which is very different then Hillary's private emails. This is also within only days of the transition occurring. If they still are using them months after ping me and I will care.

What do you mean by this? That hey have private email accounts, or that they conduct official business through private email accounts? Both?

But it was her turn.
[–] KoKansei 1 point 15 points 16 points (+16|-1) ago
In a sense, she was the perfect first female candidate for president. Really represented her gender well.

Ouch.

Yep. If the dems aren't happy with how the election turned out, blame the women's caucus in the DNC. I recall reading articles in which one of them boasted of how they "put their foot down" to get HRC the nomination. I wonder how big was their role in the shenanigans that cost Sanders the election (eg, those coin flips that went for HRC waaaaaay past the odds/averages),
Lena Dunham wrote an extremely stupid essay about how HRC's losing made her vagina ache (seriously ; ache in the places that make me a woman is how she put it) and went on to burble:
"It wasn’t supposed to go this way. It was supposed to be her job. She worked her whole life for the job. It’s her job."
HER job. Unreal.

Jesus, she probably angry fisted herself when Hill Dog lost.

I'm pretty sure it was NORMLs fault and their Women Grow rent seeking scam that turned the world against Hillary. Yup...yup.

I don't care. She needs to be locked up.
[–] lord_nougat 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
Meh, that's a waste of resources. She should be executed.
[–] FuckYouReddit- 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Just deny her the source of virgin blood she needs, and she'll die in a week.

What about Senor Jeb Bush? He didn't even get nominated, and he's been made a fool of throughout the primaries.
[–] Grifter42 0 points 4 points 4 points (+4|-0) ago
Jeb is a mess.
[–] lord_nougat 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
That's an insult to messes!

I like Jeb. He's reasonable, rational and a great debater who can......sorry, I tried to finish that statement but the giggles just kept causing me to screw up what i was typing.

That may be true but the part that isn't funny, the part that is actually terrifying, is how much support she managed to get. The fact remains the true threat to a democratic republic is not the fool who runs for office but fool who votes. Mob mentality and targeted political paid protesting and fake news is more of a threat than a batshit crazy Clinton.

We can laugh now, but the day before election night I was genuinely concerned.

Chances that she actually spent it all are about zero.
Creative accounting and self-owned sub-contracting bussinesses have undoubtedly made her very rich with each lost campaign.

Forgot to mention the Clinton mafia hits.
