I'm betting Hillary wouldn't have ignored any bounties on our troops...

[brush]

like trump has. In fact, Pootie wouldn't have even dared try it with Hillary.

Who's with me?

[Skittles]

1. honestly

I think it is a Putie puppet thing.

[rusty quoin]

5. Of course he is. There was never any doubt. I always believed the Steele Dossier.

[Skittles]

7. Barr was brought in to shut down the Russia investigation

he's one corrupt bastard

[rusty quoin]

9. I couldn't believe that Iran contra was pushed under the rug.

Can you imagine that Iran, our enemy would be promised weapons for money to fund against Central America. They got away with it. I was young. I’d like to be that young again.

[Skittles]

10. we heard more about Benghazi than we did about Iran contra

yup

[Cha]

2. Of course not.. trump sucks up to Putin.. We've known that

from the very beginning. he doesn't try to hide a lot of. I'm sure there's a lot going on that we know nothing about.. yet, though.

Betting Putin knew trump wouldn't try to punish him for itj.. in fact cover it up. But that didn't work out so well.

That's why he worked to get trump rigged in.. Putin's fucking life would be so different if Hillary were President and so would ours.

3. No other candidate Republican or Democratic would have ignored it.

Say what you will about Jeb, Cruz, Rubio, or the others, they would not have allowed Russia to target American soldiers.


Needless to say, Hillary would never have allowed Russia to even contemplate it. She would have had Putin on his heels since day one of her administration. That is why they fought so hard not to have her elected.

[Skittles]

8. I honestly believe that too

and Hillary would have been a fine president, she would have done better than all of them

[Tanuki]

4. In her own words, although on a different topic...

6. Yes. Plus, we would not be fucked by the Trumpandemic...nt

[Hortensis]

11. Putin was AFRAID of her as president, and it's a safe bet

he'd be hurting and raging now if she were. His power might well be in danger again, instead of being voted "president for life."

Leaders of oligarchies remain in power as long as they are able to protect the oligarchs and serve their ambitions. He had to stop the western nations' sanctions. They don't want to be international criminals confined to Russia and the planet's lawless hellholes. And the writing's on the wall for how safely they can hide wealth outside if nations around the planet increasingly go after it. It's not our nukes they're afraid of. They had to stop U.S. leadership.

And then there are his authoritarian followers. They don't like losers and weaklings any more than Trump's do, but with Democrats blocked from power and his assets in he's scoring them great victories.

12. During the campaign I saw her on Charlie Rose

He asked a general question about China and she went into great detail about the territorial disputes in the South China Sea that involve our allies. Does Trump even know this is an issue? You don't hear about it on TV so, no. I like presidents who know what the foreign policy issues are, be they major or minor.

When Biden takes over, national security issues will not just be four years worse. Decades of progress in international affairs is under assault.

13. BUT

no matter how she reacted, the GOP Congress would have had endless hearings blaming her for the mere fact that it happened.

[brush]

14. I contend it would've have happened under Hillary.

Putin feared her, which is one reason why he helped trump so much.

[edhopper]

15. Perhaps

But Putin would have continues to do sneaky underhanded shit.

16. The relationship between HRC and Pootie would have been fascinating

It would have gotten ugly, I believe. He would have done all possible to make her life miserable. Instead, he's doing all possible to make OUR lives miserable, with the help of someone who's not on our side.
Hillary would have been on our side. Such a basic expectation for a president.
