Hillary Clinton Directly Calls Out Trump & GOP For Betraying Democracy




During an appearance on The View this week, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton went directly after former President Donald Trump and his allies in the Republican Party for their betrayal of democracy. In short, Clinton said that she believes that the U.S. is “still in” a “full Constitutional crisis” thanks to the actions of Trump and his enablers. In the hands of Republicans, the powers of government have turned into tools for furthering their own, personal power — and that’s pretty much it. Trump sought to use the powers of the Justice Department to go against the duly documented will of the people after the election.

Clinton pointedly commented as follows:

‘I THINK WE NOT ONLY CAME CLOSE TO A FULL CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS — I THINK WE’RE STILL IN IT… I THINK WE’RE AT A VERY DANGEROUS, CONTINUING HIGH-LEVEL ATTACK ON THE LEGITIMACY OF OUR GOVERNMENT AND THE ELECTION OF OUR PRESIDENT. AND OBVIOUSLY, OUR FORMER PRESIDENT IS NOT ONLY BEHIND IT, HE INCITED IT. HE ENCOURAGED IT, AND HE CONTINUES TO DO SO. AND YOU HAVE LEADERS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, WHO HAVE WILLINGLY GONE ALONG, AS THOUGH THEY’RE MEMBERS OF A CULT — NOT A POLITICAL PARTY, BUT A CULT… WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDST OF A CONCERTED, WELL-FUNDED EFFORT TO UNDERMINE AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.’

It is so difficult not to become depressed.

Calling our reps, protesting, voting, etc. are the tools we have to stop this. Our tools may not be enough anymore. What more can we do. Soooooooooooo frustrating.

I'm gonna just deliver a final rant, here.
Feel free to appreciate it or move on.
idc.

The immesurable depth of goodness, of what she stood before us & offered to us, has yet to be equaled by even a nanosecond by those who drove a relentless campaign of hate & lies, spread by every opponant & opportunist equally & in tandem, thru MSM to every corner of Social Media, against this one woman who never ever deserved, nor in her lifetime earned so much as a moment of the slander shovelled out by Wealthy Media driven & Foreign bought, White Men & Women who were'nt worth the soil on the bottom of her shoes.

She had no equal. It was the greatest open public display of male driven abuse towards a women of such high standards she'd set by herself thru her lifetime, & the shock of witnessing it happen in real time for an entire year & a half, and the 5 years since that November 2016, was an atrocity to all women, girls & those who hold them in their true worth, past, present & future.

She, of all people never ever deserved any of it.

Her lifeworks are a story of strength, perserverance & genuine heart & soul.
From her humble beginning to rise of global achievements was her own hard work.
She didn't reach that pinnacle by a slick promo 'fluff' campaign by a couple of Silicon Valley Techies.

Every bit of her greatness was by her own brilliance, forethought & determination.


Her name & legacy was driven into the dirt by a bunch of failed aging white men who achieved nothing in their 30-40 years prior, but bullshitting those around them.

She should have been our US President.
Our Democracy would have been in the best of caring hands.

I will never ever forgive all those who took part in this destruction of our America.
These big powerful, self-important & ego driven worldly men beat her down & spit-shined their filthy palms as they walked away.
Not an apology has been uttered since the day.

The Mobbed-up teen-trafficking con of a publicity showman & his guy from Russia, Paul Manafort, & the proud author of 'Rape Fantasies' & his media men, Zack Exley, Tad Devine, and all neatly bundled by Vladimer Putin, the murderous ex KGB student of the most dangerous mobster in the world, Semion Mogalevich.
Oddly how all have ties to Vlad's Russia within the past 10 years..

You think back to all the power, money & forces foreign & domestic it took to keep her from that title of US President, & realize non had the power to do all they did to stop her & our nation, without the corrupt Media both Mainstream & Social marching in lock step.

Thank you Sec Hillary Clinton for walking with your head high. We walk there with you.
Your advice & words always still true & telling lift you among the greatest female leaders in our history.
