End Stage Hillary Derangement Syndrome

I look at my Facebook feed in slack jawed amazement!

A number of my FB friends are of the deep red persuasion, so I get a lot of anti Hillary political posts and memes.

I supposed I shouldn't be, but I am astonished how people are still desperately tying to spin Donald Trump; how they are shrieking Beghazi! Email! Foundation! Clenis! They are even trotting out "tweets" from "women" who think pussy grabbing is no big deal, while demonizing Bill Clinton's consensual sex.

They are fundamentally incapable of considering that most of what they "know" about Hillary Clinton is outright lies. They simply hate her so much they are willing to abandon any sense of morality, decency, or ethics.

I think a lot of these bozos were living in a bubble thinking that Trump was going to win. When the sexual assaulter video came out, it dawned on them that Trump might lose, and they're absolutely losing their shit over it. I never respond to that shit anyway, just hide it immediately, so what do I care, but the uptick in lunatic rantings about Hillary since the tape was released is definitely notable. These people are gonna be absolutely frothing on election night.

3. I'd like to say something about "pussy" grabbing

I have heard TV folks use the word "vagina" in an attempt to clean up Trump's language. For a long time I've despaired over the squeamishness we Americans have about naming female genitalia. The female external genitalia is properly called the vulva.

I'd actually like to see some guy try to grab me by my vagina.

Women: be proud! It's a VULVA! It's not a pussy; it's not a hoo-hoo; it certainly is not a vagina: IT'S A VULVA.

4. The Hillary Derangement Syndrome enters Stage 2 on November 9th

The stage we are seeing now, to a large extent orchestrated and using very pliable emotional people, was only to influence the election, which the great manipulators of the media and their paymasters know is practically a lost cause by now. I'm sure they are moving into the same phase they were in the day after Election Day in 2008, when they met to discuss how they could best derail the upcoming Obama presidency. Too bad for them that their screenplay is already public knowledge this time, seeing as how it is word for word the same one they used on Obama.

Does anyone remember the so-called "Obama Scandals" of a few years ago? The Republicans, acting mostly through Fox "News," National Hate Radio and some of their print arms, such as the Washington Times and the Wall Street Journal, invented a series of "crippling" and "distracting" scandals that Obama was supposedly faced with, fighting to preserve his presidency and a modicum of relevancy in his lame duck days. Well, except for the minor detail that NONE of the so-called "Obama Scandals" had any basis whatsoever in truth, and when there was no more kindling wood, the Republicans allowed that fire to sputter and die out. Hillary will probably not have it any easier than Obama did, and maybe worse. But Hillary knows the ropes here, and will be expecting everything they try to throw at her. If the Republicans think they will be shooting at someone who is reluctant to shoot back, I think they will quickly find themselves with more holes than your average Swiss cheese.

Obama's main selling point has always been being able to work with people and be cool. Hillary's is "She's a fighter". She can be incredibly compassionate, but I honestly can't think of anyone (with any actual brains) who would want to get her seriously pissed off at them. Not trying to be all CT, just sayin' ... she tore Trump apart last time and laughed at him about it. This week, she is probably going to just let him dig himself in as deep as he can. There's no doubt she's waiting for the "Please Proceed" moment. Next one will be precision cruise missiles to level anything of the campaign that is left standing. The precision will be important, as she needs to take out enough to ensure we get Congress back, but not so much as to enflame and unify the GOP against her.

7. I was glad to see this morning on a couple of the political shows people got shot down trying to lie

about Hillary's role in trying to discredit women in the 90's related to Bill's affairs. Rudy Guiliani was on at least 5 of the shows making the same statements that Hillary had said very bad things about these women. I was a news junkie even back in the 90's and I didn't recall any of these things Rudy was talking about. I was glad when Jake Trapper said on his show Reliable Sources pretty much the same thing, that what Rudy was saying was just not true, and that the media had been unable to find any such statements made by her that Rudy and others are saying. She never did say any of those things that Rudy was claiming. Now she did go on TV when the Monica story broke and made the statement about the "real story being, for those who choose to check it out, was those people who had been trying to discredit her husband since he first ran for office." The only place I recall people saying that Hillary had said nasty things about these women was in books by NEWSMAX. I would see them in bookstores, and in Costco. I never bought any of them, but they would have them out there in the open and I would occasionally thumb through them, knowing that the stuff in there was all lies.

Besides, I don't know any wife who would want to have lunch with her husband's mistress. Besides, those women all knew that Bill Clinton was married and IMHO there are no victims, only volunteers.

8. the 2+ decades McCarthyist assault on the Clintons has worked pretty good. Joe McCarthy would be

proud.

... Of course, the GOP has to recognize how important the help of GOP toadies of M$M has been in selling the various "scandals" ... which later turned out to be nothing but Big Lies and hysterically exaggerated behaviors (by the Clintons) that didn't really differ much from the behavior of others in public life. It is pretty amazing to see people buying these unsupported charges and innuendos of wrong-doing, coming from the party that a few years ago seemed quite blase about Bush administration operaters outing a covert CIA agent. THe GOP toadies of M$M - and pollsters (many of these polls are paid for by M$M) - weren't nearly as interested in an actual scandal, involving an actual federal - even treasonous - crime. Nor were the media very interested in the fact that NOBODY was found guilty of outing Valerie Plame. Nobody ever went to jail for outing her. Now THAT's a SCANDAL.

While the obvious motivation for the McCarthyist campaign against Hillary is to keep her from beating their slime-ball candidate (to be fair, not by Republican standards - but by the standards of what is generally accepted decent behavior for a presidential candidate) .. the GOP have a longer term disinformation objective here in hoping to convince the easily persuadable that the Republicans are not the only ones who are willing to compromise national security. Thus, the great effort to sell the Big Lie that Clinton did something egregiously out of the ordinary and mishandled classified data, in using a personal email account for Government business (as if Colin Powell didn't do the same thing and didn't advise Clinton to use a personal email account); despite the fact that the State Dept's IG report said that use of private email accounts for official business by executives in the State department was found to be widespread; despite the fact that Comey had to admit that not one of the emails purported to contain classified information had a Classified Header on it and despite the fact that the State Dept does not agree that information contained in the emails should be considered classified at the time. In selling this fairy tale, the M$M played an invaluable roll in keeping the suckers misinformed and totally unaware of facts that explode the Big Lie.

...in this country know they are losing.

Expect plenty more shit talk, mud slinging, lies, conspiracies, and outright maliciousness against Hillary in the weeks ahead. They've got nothing. They know it. Let them gurgle on down that septic tank from whence they came...along with Trump.

This country is about to collectively flush the Orange Shit down.
