After MSNBC Mornin’ Joe’s second full day of three nonstop hours about FBI Director Comely’s Friday statement that there are more emails [the only reason it was not four straight days is because Mornin’ Joe is not on weekends] Libertarian Vice President candidate Bill Weld gave a roundhouse up side the head to both Morning Joe and Mika to read a passage from George Orwell’s classic 1984 describing what we all know is going on with The Donald and his rallies.
“Before the Hate had proceeded for 30 seconds, uncontrollable exclamations of rage were breaking out from half the people in the room … In its second minute the Hate rose to a frenzy. People were leaping up and down in their places and shouting at the top of their voices … The horrible thing about the Two Minutes Hate — that’s the name of the exercise — was not that one was obliged to act a part, but that it was impossible to avoid joining in … And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like the flame of a blowlamp.” Bill Weld said read adding “Sound like a Trump rally?”
Joe Scarborough didn’t like that one bit, saying he doesn’t read books and it would better apply to Kanye West.
I have cable news on in the background most of the working day and other than hurricanes, airplane crashes and terrorism, I have never seen all the networks go full in 24/7 on any story days on end as they have on this, WHICH IS NOT A STORY. IT HAS NO CONTENT. THERE IS NO GUN YET ALONE A SMOKING GUN. This empty vessel is now being compared to Watergate and an impeachable offense which has turned the election upside down. HILLARY HAD EMAILS!
What could be the worst thing in any email from Hillary Clinton. A stodgy old grandmother? All they have is The Lie! That she said she did not send classified material through her server. Which is not even a lie, it’s what she believed that happens to not be true because they found ONE, and we don’t even know what that ONE email classified information was about.
No, that is not what this is all about. It is about Hillary Clinton for 22 years understanding how the Right-wing machine works and calling them out on their nasty silly swill, she fights back. Of course there is a Right-wing conspiracy to destroy the Clintons, and the Obamas and those doing it are indeed, cookie bakers, deplorable and irredeemable.
What would a Trump Presidency be like?
We have it coming at us daily from the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, a crazy vindictive populist outliner won the election there not by a few points but by a landslide. So far 3000 summary executions of SUSPECTS by Duterte’s police and his vigilante gangs, upsetting America’s place in the Pacific Rim, calling President Obama and Pope Francis Sonsawitches, while kowtowing to China as even now Trump kowtows to Russia.
