(5,279 posts)...I have to side with the Constitution. Our current administration has overstepped or allowed overstepping with/by our intelligence industry. We can get a new guard dog, ours current one seems to have rabies. It desperately needs to be driven back into it's den or killed.
I can easily understand how someone opposed to a power wielded by adversary could become enraptured by the same power now in their hands. After watching multiple corruptions from the same source, do we doubt the evil influence of that source?
As far as it being time for any certain type of president. I'm looking for one to end the pointless (yeah I know, the profit for the war mongers is a point; technically) wars we are locked into terror, drugs, etc. At this point I don't care if the candidate was a tattooed transgender Muslim used-to-be sex worker who's grandfather was an escaped nazi war criminal, If they could competently carry out the duties of President of the United States.
Because who you might have been twenty years ago, who might be in your family tree, who you like to have sex with, who or if you worship, or what technique you used to use to urinate, it really doesn't fucking matter.
As long as you understand that there are 317 million Americans, who's lives matter; not just 2000 rich ones.
And I do wonder about Ms. Clinton concerning that point.
