I lived overseas for the entire Clinton presidency so I missed the whole thing. I heard about the scandals of course, the whole world did. It was embarrassing to be an American overseas when Bill Clinton was “sullying” the White House as I heard Nancy Reagan put it.
When I returned from overseas it was an odd experience, America had changed so much I didn’t recognize it and felt lost. I couldn’t believe how much things had changed. Tweens were talking about oral sex and how it wasn’t considered sex - according to the president. Holy cow….really?
Commercials on TV were different too. I had never seen a drug commercial before and was shocked to learn so many men had erectile dysfunction disorder. I had no idea and wasn’t sure I ever needed to know that. I’d never seen lawyer commercials before either - “how much is your claim worth? call us to find out”. Or how about this one “do you really think the insurance company cares about you? Puhleeease!”
The most astounding change in America on my return was so many babies mommas with no baby daddies and the government paying for them. What the hell? Really? This is progress? What happened to my country?
Nancy Regan was so right in her comment about “sullying” the White House and it was as serious as she implied it was. She and many others were shocked that the democrat party and their supporters seemed to cover for Bill Clinton rather than call him out on his many moral transgressions. The most serious accusation against Bill was rape but he also settled with another victim for $850,000 to avoid him having to testify in court. He earned the nickname “The Silver Zipper” from his many known sexual indiscretions. I remember wondering why Hillary didn’t divorce him. I learned later that she enabled him. Disgraceful - both of them - and disgraceful on the democrat party too for enabling.
But this article isn’t about re-hashing Bill’s sexcapades. America is frankly very tired of the Clintons. Even the democrats are wringing their hands at this point over the damage done and what to do about it with their new #MeToo campaign of "sexual abuse awareness". (I should tag that as sarcasm. Democrats have proven not to care about victims of sexual abuse if it affects their politicians or powerful donors reputations)
This article is about the slow drip of unintended consequences from immoral and unethical politicians like the Clintons and Barack Obama. I’ve described the Clintons as grifters many times because they are. Those two will steal a piece of china and a soul or two from every party anyone is foolish enough to invite them to, but the Clintons became “Master Grifters” after Bill’s second election. That Americans could be so dumb really bolstered their bravado. I mean, who wouldn’t think they were king of the hill when that many people will cover for your indiscretions and help you go even higher and cheat even more? The depths that can be plumbed with that kind of power. The mind boggles. In Bill's case it called for a cigar to celebrate.
Enter Barack Obama. To say he put a kink in the Clinton’s plans for Hillary to be president back in 2008 is an understatement - he won. This guy just came out of nowhere! But those Clintons, they know how to play the game. “Grow where you’re planted” said Hillary and she got herself planted as Secretary of State, a position she was no more qualified for than the man in the moon. But politics is for deal making and that particular deal with the devil was the biggest mistake of Barack Obama’s entire life……so far. He’s capable of much more I’m sure.
Get this. Obama was such an insecure unqualified president he didn’t even tell Hillary no when he knew she’d set up an unsecured email server in the basement of her home to run her government job from. Hello? So instead of calling her on it as he should have since he was her boss, he used an alias to communicate top secret and classified information with her on that unsecured server!! Hello?!?
Well since the boss “bozo the clown” (Barack Obama) did it then so did his Attorney General Loretta Lynch. She used an alias too to communicate with Hillary on her home brew server. I mean, you have to feel pretty powerful when you can manipulate so many people and wrap the entire American government including the president and attorney general around your little finger - and it didn’t stop at Obama and Lynch, no sir. Lets bring everyone in to the fold and own them too. That way if one of us goes down we’ll all go down (Grifters 101) - and by god nothing can bring us down. Lets get the FBI, DOJ, State and IRS working against any citizen who dares interrupt our good thing of getting away with “punishing our enemies” (as Obama put it).
Lets see what our enemies are saying says Hillary (or Barack or whatever brilliant lemming with high level security clearance they had ready to do their bidding)…..lets spy on them. Lets get some really smart people who can pay some other really smart people to help us spy on our enemies the republicans and especially that clown Donald Trump who’ll never be president. Lets dirty him up so much that even if by some miracle Trump gets elected…… (haha…..that ain’t going to happen says Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, George Clooney, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, Planned Parenthood, and the entire Hollywood branch of Hillary Inc)……..but you know if he did…..(he won’t)……lets make sure we get him! Lets put our best and brightest on it……cuz we’re so damn smart.
No problem says the entire U.S. Government, we’ve got people at the FBI, and DOJ working on buying some smut and lies about Donald Trump from some Russians. We will nail this bastard. And to bypass our own government recording ourselves we’ll get our guy at DOJ’s wife to use ham radio to pass info about the dossier of smut we’re getting. We’ll never get caught.
November 8, 2016. What the hell happened! How did that happen? How on earth did Donald Trump get elected? What, how, who, what???!!!
All the “brilliant” nincompoops who fell into line with the Clintons woke up on November 9, 2016 and collectively said “oh sh*t”. Every one of them knew they’d crossed the line. Every one of them knew they’d risked their high level careers, reputations, retirements and freedom to lie and cover for Hillary. Every one of them knew by what they were covering up for Hillary that she was incompetent, inept and unqualified to be president. Every one of them willingly went down with that ship.
Democrats are floundering like we’ve never seen before - deservedly so. Hillary losing the election completely discombobulated them - deservedly so. They had no clue on this earth what they’d do if they lost. Their supporters became unhinged just like their party is unhinged because their useless leader who lost the election stayed drunk and hungover and didn’t even speak to them with any reassurances. It’s astonishing to watch.
We’re now at the stage in the democrats game of thorns of who will escape the damage? Who will be the fall guys? Will Hillary escape? Will Obama escape? You can bet the farm they’ll make sure everyone else will and they won’t - if that is at all possible.
Stand by for the next episode about to break when the Inspector General of the Department of Justice Michael Horowitz releases his report of “wrong doing” in the Clinton email investigation; and when Chairman Nunes of the Senate Intelligence Committee continues his investigation into abuses of our court system allowing the government to spy on citizens. Other investigations of all these matters are underway as well.
