"SNIP....

“My Republican colleagues, all they seem to be upset about with this is not that the president sought an investigation of his political rival, not that he withheld a White House meeting and $400 million in aid we all passed in a bipartisan basis to pressure Ukraine to do those investigations. Their objection is that he got caught. Their objection is that someone blew the whistle, and they would like this whistleblower identified, and the president wants this whistleblower punished. That’s their objection. Not that the president engaged in this conduct, but that he got caught.”

— House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, quoted by The Week.

she went into a store. Even if it was just a stick of gum. It was her thing and she bragged about it. She was proud of her ability to fool the clerks and store owners.

When she got caught you would think it would change her in some way. But what happened is she got angry that those stupid people who she had duped and fooled for so long would dare to catch her. How dare they look down at her and judge her! In her mind she was superior to them and she wanted to get even, to punish them.

She never showed an ounce of remorse, nor did she apologize. She just continued to shoplift and brag about it.

She had the same cavalier indifference to people. She saw them as things to dupe and fool and as inferior to her. She was Trump.
