Did the Russians also author the craziness that the E Mails reveal ?
Sorry Johm, this is among the lamest deflections ever put before an audience. And only the most obtuse among us, of which thankfully for you , there is no shortage, are going to believe you.
And that is the way it is in American politics, the political elite realize and capitalize on the fact that anyone can throw a lever or push a button in a voting booth , even those who don't know who the vice president is. There is no shortage of persons who can be duped.
Apparently there is no wide spread knowledge of the shenanigans and dirty tricks revealed by the WikiLeaks E Mail dump and the shenanigans and dirty tricks are simply awful. Now infiltration of the churches as proposed in the E Mails is good stuff, for there is a memory simmering somewhere in my white matter or is it the grey that recalls a statement or name. It was Godless Communism, remember that one.
I remember the phrase as an indictment in the 1950s of the Soviet treatment of citizens. 25 million of them exterminated without a wink or a nod because there is no God there is no possible fear to being the one who drops the hammer on 25 million people. If we were to ask 10 Americans about the worst of 20th century , I suspect that some might mention the Holocaust, but relatively few would mention the
actions of Stalin.
Conscience can be dispensed with if we can dispense with morality and places where we attempt to learn morality. Do undermine church, then undermine family, then school, then feed the people what it is that you want to tell them. Release photos of old Bernie Sanders in his speedo to make him look daft, invade Trump rallies with paid gangs of thugs, co opt what is supposed to be a free and independent press and make them part of the power elite so that they can have a place set for them at state dinners. If our politicians can avoid conscience then they can justify anything. I fear we are at that stage now.
I wonder if I am the only person alive who is greatly disturbed by the content of these leaked E Mails, which strike me as being utterly without conscience. Why is it that the Democratic party seemingly is at war with citizens. Are citizens no longer worth nothing more than contempt. Needy Latinos, basement dwelling millennials, deplorables are all terms used recently , but what really strikes home is the imperiousness of actions seen in the revealed E Mails. Donna Brazile feeding debate questions to Hillary ahead of time, and much later when caught stating that she did nothing wrong.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Someone needs to speak. NOW. What you people have done is unconscionable. You have sold your country for speaking fees and for power and for all the self serving reasons you can put forth.
You have re enslaved Black Citizens in inner cities in exchange for votes, you have sent soldiers off to fight wars where there is no reason, you have watched your own people have their lives and livelihoods stripped away and you have encouraged this. What a shame.
I don't know if Trump is the guy to drain the swamp, but it sure needs someone. The house is looking in need of a coat of paint.
