Lyin' Hillary!




The FBI results are in.  And Hillary has been shown to be a total liar regarding her server and emails.  She has not been indicted. Yet, the FBI director has hinted that her actions were one step short of being indictable.  Is there one law that affects the common people, and another for the elite? 

I've never felt any warmth towards Hillary Clinton.  Her recklessness in handling her State Department email was inexcusable, and should have resulted in her having charges brought against her. Sadly, this did not happen.  It appears that the FBI investigation may have been partially defanged because the political infrastructure is afraid of a President Trump.

Both Trump and Clinton are liars. Neither speaks a truth based on facts.  Yet, Trump speaks an emotional truth to people who have been neglected by the political infrastructure supporting Clinton.  Trump's language is emotional, and he connects with people on a level that resonates with the more primitive sections of the brain, and not that of the prefrontal cortex.  To me, this is much more dangerous, as the last politician this successful who resonated this way came from Central Europe in the 1930's.

I was rooting for the FBI to force the Attorney General to bring charges against Hillary. This would have triggered a series of actions which would have removed Hillary from the position of presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party, and would have installed Bernie Sanders in her place. Trump could not win against him.  Bernie knows how to speak the truth and gain power from doing so.  Hillary does not, and her presence at the top of the ticket will make it a 50/50 chance that Trump will become president.

So the question becomes - who do we vote for?  If one leans Republican and hates Trump, vote for the Libertarian party's candidate, Gary Johnson.  If one leans Democrat and hates Hillary, vote for the Green party's candidate, Jill Stein.  We're getting screwed either way, and the only thing we can do about it is to help a third party get the votes that could disrupt the political system.
