    She really takes people for idiots. And to be fair, they keep voting for her.

    I’m not even American and it was obvious this entitled asshole would do more than just boof beer.

    Fuck this cunt. Couldn’t have known my ass. I hope she’s tried and hung like we should do with the rest of them.

    If she were assassinated in the street by one of her victims, I wonder if her last words would be, “There was no way for me to anticipate that.”

      No, it would be, “Remember me as a drain on society.” As the lawyer hit by the car in the simpsons.

    Look obviously she is complicit/lying, and we all can see that. But what also bothers me is how our society approaches dealing with people like her.

    As a person in a position of power/leadership she is expected to have good judgement. That’s the same sort of thing we expect of a pilot in an aircraft. If the weather forecast says the weather will get bad in a few hours, other pilots warn the pilot about the weather getting bad, and the controller radios the pilot before takeoff saying “hey the weather is getting bad, are you sure?” and then the pilot takes off and has a crash due to weather - we all say this person has bad judgment and should not be a pilot.

    So even IF she were telling the truth (which she is not), she was warned repeatedly about this specific outcome and ignored it. Everyone who cares remotely about this issue should be saying “Best case she has poor judgment and shouldn’t be in charge of anything.”

    Platner would’ve won. The fact it’s in the air means we have the wrong candidate.

    SA allegations are the go to method of disqualifying candidates the establishment doesn’t like.

    Why are there 0 white populists in the democratic party at the federal level? Excepting Bernie, and he’s jewish, and older than old. Because white populists could take the party from them, and that is what they fear most. Beating republicans is secondary.
