They all tried to warn us from the top of the metaphorical rooftops. We didn't listen. We're in the predicament that we are in now because we ridiculed them, dismissed them as deep state conspirators, and thought that nothing done wrong in Washington could ever negatively affect our lives directly.
Looks like that grandiosity has led to the worst loss of American life since Vietnam and a global economic calamity to rival the great depression. No one could have seen it coming! Oh wait...
Not us here on DU, of course, but Americans generally.
Would have been nice to have awoken sooner to the nature of the threat, eh?
Buttttttttt her eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemaillllllllllllllllsssss!

(15,325 posts)* ON 19 OCTOBER 2016, in the third and final presidential debate, Hillary Clinton opined that Vladimir Putin would rather have a puppet as president of the United States, meaning Donald John Trump, than a formidable adversary like her. As Trump short-circuited like a Star Wars droid on the fritz (No puppet. No puppet. You're the puppet!), she continued:
HRC ~
"Its pretty clear you won't admit that the Russians have engaged in cyberattacks against the United States of America, that you encouraged espionage against our people, that you are willing to spout the Putin line, sign up for his wish list, break up NATO, do whatever he wants to do, and that you continue to get help from him, because he has a very clear favorite in this race.
So I think that this is such an unprecedented situation. We've never had a foreign government trying to interfere in our election.
We have 17 intelligence agencies, civilian and military, who have all concluded that these espionage attacks, these cyberattacks, come from the highest levels of the Kremlin and they are designed to influence our election. I find that deeply disturbing."
*As usual, HRC was right. But even the most cynical viewer could scarce have imagined, in the fall of 2016, just how on the nose she was.
