There is a Serious Problem in the country with simple intellectual honesty [View all]

You have heard for well over a year now about how awful Hillary was for the email server at home putting classified documents at risk. You heard she was a traitor. You heard she isn't fit to lead. You heard she was reckless. You heard we should "lock her up"

I've been hearing this on TV, radio, the internet, social media, etc. I have Facebook friends who were shooting to the hilltops about how she is awful for what she did. So this morning I posted a direct comment and article to my right wing and Republican friends the story about Gen Petraeus becoming Sec of State. I reminded them, with the attached article, that Gen Patraeus had actually been CONVICTED of divulging classified information. GUILTY!

As of 6 hours later...just now...not one comment. NOT ONE! NONE! These people don't give a fuck about this. They just so badly wanted their person to win and Hillary to lose that they basically made up fake poutrage about emails, Ben-Gazzzzi, etc. They couldn't care less. They don't care of Russia hacked our elections. They simply don't care. And when confronted with something like a Patraeus appointment...nothing. No vitriol, no outrage. Nothing.

We are doomed by idiots in this country.
