(1,898 posts)As a Bernie supporter, I held my nose. I wasnt enthusiastic about her. Her election wouldve been more relief about her opponent losing than her winning.
She was right about every single thing. She saw everything miles away. Everything shes said has aged beautifully and America didnt listen.
She couldnt have been worse if she tried.

(1,898 posts)I wasnt a fan of Hillary, I wasnt enthusiastic. I was a big Bernie fan and lets be honest, neither nominee in 2016 was well liked.
She couldnt possibly have been more corrupt, picked worse judges, be more neglectful during a pandemic, have botched a transition of power or be a bigger national security threat than TFG has been. Not even if she tried to be worse.
Thats how pathetic TFG was, and still is.

(12,483 posts)They have Trump a platform and actually a big PUSH at first because he was good for ratings... it wasn't until AFTER he won the Primary that SOME in the MEDIA stepped back at the Frankenstein THEY had helped create and were the slightest bit regretful.
Oh and yeah, don't forget Comey.

https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2022/07/11/how-to-understand-israel-and-saudi-arabias-secretive-relationship/
Clandestine cooperation between the Saudis and Israelis dates to the early 1960s, when both supported the Royalists in Yemen against the Egyptian and Soviet-backed Republican government in Sanaa. Their intelligence services coordinated the delivery of weapons and expertise to the Royalists, who were based in Saudi Arabia. The chiefs of the Mossad and Saudi intelligence met at the Dorchester Hotel in London on one occasion. The 1993 Oslo agreement facilitated more behind-the-scenes contacts.
Iran and its allies like Hezbollah and the Houthis now form the common foe. Saudi Arabias Gulf allies Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates recognized Israel in 2020, largely to get the Saudis support against Iran. The Saudis have allowed direct flights from Tel Aviv to Manama, Abu Dhabi and Dubai crossing over their territory.

I wonder just how great the world would be today if we had had Gore hand off to Obama and Hillary take over from them. It would have changed everything.
The whole world was robbed and it breaks my heart what they have done.
