As Hillary said, she would have been a good president

No. No she wouldn’t have been. She would have been god-awful terrible. Just like Trump is god-awful terrible, but in a different way.

Just because Trump is a joke, and he is, does not mean she would have been good or better.

It was truly a lose-lose situation in this country.

Woah, I think that’s the first thing I agree with you on 😛

And another thing I disagree with both of you on.

If Trump has proven anything, it’s that those who said he would be god-awful terrible were more right than they feared, and those who said he’d be a funny meme who wouldn’t get anything done were very wrong (although thankfully as of today at least one thing has been narrowly prevented).

I cannot fathom how Clinton would have been in anyway worse or even a fraction as bad. Cannot at all.

Everything that people feared from her is showing up in spades. Lying through teeth? Check. Personal interests over country? Check. Lining pockets with foreign dollars? Check. High chance of starting a war or two? Check. Flagrant disregard for the needs of the working class? Check. Gross incompetence that threatens national security? Check. Goldman Sachs? Check. Keeping the swamp full of bureaucratic insiders? Check. Being too tired to put the in the hours necessary? Check.

I guess he isn’t murdering his critics* or running a kiddie porn ring out of a pizza place though.

Nice opinion piece Dominic, for a minute I thought I was reading a Washington Post or New York Times article, then I realized Hillary Clinton is a member of the forum. LOL.

I am inclined to agree with most of this. We will never know what an alternate timeline would have looked like.

If I take your post correctly, I would say I think you have an interesting line of thinking there in regards to how everything that the Trump / anti-Hillary decried as the evil and corrupt actions of Hillary, are almost all being actively enacted by the current administration. Is that due to the fact that Trump engages in the tactics of blaming your opponent with all his own faults (in order to make any retort look like childish mimicry)? If so, then shame on us all. I have a feeling that at least half of Trump voters knew that most of his attacks against rivals during the primaries and the election were “whataboutisms”. They knew he was deflecting and avoiding real discussion, but jumped on board regardless.

I still agree with what I posted right after the election. Trump is all talk (but terrible talk is still terrible), and it is the Republicans in Congress we need to keep an eye on (hopefully they will step up and become good leaders).

So far it looks like I was wrong in hoping for leadership to come from the Republicans. The fact that the terribly rushed ahca bill died yesterday is a good sign, but I am not holding my breath.

I found this while browsing today.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-03-24/general-mcinerney-says-obama-was-heavily-listening-what-was-going-trump-campaign

GUILTY of the espionage act.

Lt. Gen. Thomas Mcinerney weighed in on Devin Nunes’ bombshell revelations that said the Trump team were being spied on by the NSA/CIA – and it wasn’t Russia related. The whole cover for the surveillance was supposed to be because Trump had a bunch of Ivans working for him, but that simply wasn’t the case, or the concern, inside the Obama White House.

McInerney believes when all of the evidence comes out, Obama will rue the day he decided to spy on Trump. Moreover, he said the democrats are chimping out and fabricating a Russian spy novel in order to avoid Trump investigating the Clinton server and how both Hillary and Obama violated the espionage act, a crime punishable by heavy fines and up to 10 years in prison.

Section 793(f) of the federal penal code (Title 18): With lawful access to highly classified information she acted with gross negligence in removing and causing it to be removed it from its proper place of custody, and she transmitted it and caused it to be transmitted to others not authorized to have it, in patent violation of her trust.

I wonder if James Comey is en-route to becoming Obama/Clinton’s “Oliver North” when the dust clears.

McInerney is 80, he’s on the Fox News payroll, and is apparently a member of the Obama birther cult. Do the math. 😉

What crazy and/or rascist website did you just link to? “Ivans” just made me laugh but “chimping out” is an often used derogatory term by horrible rascist trolls on the web.

They couldn’t pass Trumpcare so they’ve instead quietly gone for a bill to sell all your private browsing history for profit. Good luck with that America. Kim from NerdAlert doesn’t often get mad…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT9fFfnsQJQ

…and the list of 50 Republican Senators that Kim refrences, who are trying to do this to you…

https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/blog/2017/03/us-senate-votes-50-48-away-broadband-privacy-rules-let-isps-telecoms-sell-internet-history/

The usual suspects. Mitch McConnell. Ted Cruz. Marco Rubio. I expected a little better from John McCain but maybe he doesn’t know what the internet is?

As a YouTube comment said…

wait till anonymous gets mad and leaks these bozos’ web history

Oh and the list of bribes she mentions too…

As far as I can tell, Rand Paul and Deb Fischer are the only ones on the pay list who did not then vote for this bill (Rand wasn’t present).

If you either thought it was rubbish, or you didn’t actually know what it was, then why post it here?

Why not? Are you suggesting, that no other such articles have ever been posted in this thread, until now?

I don’t know what that means. There are 4 options, you posted that article because…

  1. You disgreed with the article
  2. You agreed with the article
  3. You misunderstood what the article was about, or didn’t read it properly
  4. You just copy’n’pasted a totally random part of the internet into this thread for no reason

Which is it? It would make things clearer going forward if you said which it was going to be.

You know what, when you’re willing to ask others that have posted articles in question like you’re doing to me, we can discuss it. Otherwise, the only answer I have for you, is already posted in the original post.

When somebody else posts an article and then claims to not really have an opinion on it, when questioned, I will.

I don’t know that one needs to have an actual opinion on an article to post it but I am glad to hear you’ll give the next one the same shakedown you’ve given me.

What you did here is no different than Trump pointing to Fox News as a source for his wiretapping claims. Paraphrasing: “I never said it was true, I’m just pointing out what some other guy said.”

Maybe you should ask yourself why some here were so ready to believe that you agree with the contents of the article.

I am not a Trump supporter so I don’t know why you are equating me to him. I hadn’t heard the story posted in the article so I posted it. If it’s wrong, anyone can post the fact check article that proves it wrong, and I’m good.

You are free to believe that.

Sad thing is … his own party didn’t cheat him out of a chance to run for President. His party affiliates didn’t cheat his rival by feeding him questions for townhall meetings before the other candidate knew what the questions were. I agree that Trump is a personality … one that has no political background … he took a state like Wisconsin which hasn’t voted Republican since 1984 while spending less money than Clinton did. He was not my first choice for President but I’m willing to at least give him a chance. That does not make me a Trump supporter.
