Could YOU recount that story without a sense of guilt or without showing signs of feeling troubled?

Just watch and tell me at what point you hear her express ANY sense of regret or sadness or anything (other than gleeful bragging and amusement)

I only replied tge way I did to point out the fact that she did not have to take the case and that she willingly played the woman card. It's disgusting and revolting the way she speaks about her part in damaging the psyche of a 12 year old girl

She chose to defend the pedophile using the most disgusting tactic possible. She didn't have to do that.

All of it was. I don't even know of anyone in my life who could think of defending those actions towards a child who was already physically and mentally/emotionally so damaged by all of it and come across in that interview the way she did. It's almost unbelievable to me that people make excuses for it.

I hurt for that little girl and the sad life she's lived as an adult because of it all.

Being a complainer? That is somehow comparable to being sociopathic?

It just goes to show how easily morals and empathy, compassion can be tossed out the window, all depending on just how badly they want something. Even ugly war, a horrible refugee crisis, people suffering because of Wall Street theft and fraud .... anything and everything is suddenly ok and defensible.

But Sanders 'complains'. He's upsetting their status quo ...... period. That's the only way I can understand any of this.

What happened to that little girl:
"In her interview with The Daily Beast, she recounted the details of her attack in 1975 at age 12 and the consequences it had for both her childhood and adult life. A virgin before the assault, she spent five days afterwards in a coma, months recovering from the beating that accompanied the rape, and over 10 years in therapy. The doctors told her she would probably never be able to have children."

How could anyone laugh knowing this?

Not that this is really comparable, but it is similar in that it shows a disconnect, an emotional disconnect that is chilling to me.

We came, we saw and we CONQUORED. A reference not overlooked by many overseas. Winning is everything. These ethics do not belong in the WH.

... that was uneffingbelievable. Not impressed with the young Hillary either. She did not give a damn about that little 12 year old girl. I can't say what she sounds like (and there is a name for it), because if I did I would get kicked out.
DAMN. It's NOT a curse word. It's a psychological term.

I feel like this is the real Hill before the walls and polish. When she faltered before getting into this story all I could think of was ...sniper fire. After listening to the whole thing I can not believe the cold delivery of such a terrible crime. She depicted her dangerous trip in a cab to meet the underwear spy with more regard than an attack on a young girls life. I guess she has always had a gift for dealing with blood and death.

That's what I hear on that tape. Combine that with limitless greed.

That simply can not happen. People don't understand who she is. And Bill is no better. They're both amoral as far as I can see. No boundaries at all except what they can get away with.
