Thank God Hillary Lost [View all]

Despite being a rabid HRC supporter, I now see the greater good that has come about since she lost the election.

The threat to our national security due to her email server, a headline story for months, has now completely disappeared from the news. I can only assume that this is due to that ominous threat having coincidentally ended on election night. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I now sleep a lot easier at night knowing this dangerous threat to our safety was somehow eradicated the minute Trump was elected.

The overwhelming problem of her Benghazi involvement, also coincidentally, ceased to be problematic at the exact moment the election was called for Trump. Kudos to those PTB who, after endless investigations, somehow resolved our long national nightmare in a single 24-hour news cycle last November.

Being a great admirer of Hillary’s, I am particularly happy with the sudden turnaround in her health. After months of reading about her suffering from dementia, seizures, Alzheimer’s, a brain concussion – along with the mind-altering drugs she had to take to counteract the effects of the many life-threatening conditions she was reportedly suffering from – I am thrilled to see that she has somehow pulled back from imminent death and appears to be in perfect health.

I am forever grateful that Hillary not being elected POTUS means we no longer have to fear the wars we were told she was determined to start, specifically with Russia. Instead, we can all rest easy that we have someone in the White House who has such a close, intimate relationship with Putin that there is literally nothing the Russians can do that would cause him to stop praising their leader’s every move.

But the real upside of Hillary’s loss is that those who warned us she was a corporatist who would place her Goldman-Sachs, billionaire buddies in Cabinet positions were heeded, and their encouragement of others to vote third party to avoid that catastrophe really paid off. Congratulations to those who saved us from having monied, out-of-touch, clueless incompetents put in positions of power simply by virtue of their financial wherewithal and/or their generous campaign contributions.

Let’s face it, fellow Hillary supporters. Things have apparently turned out for the better, when you consider how many of HRC’s “problems” are suddenly not problems any more. The things that were an overwhelming threat to our national security have miraculously been dealt with to the point where they no longer warrant so much as a mention by the MSM.

Thanks to all of those who refused to vote for Hillary. You helped us dodge so many bullets that now no longer seem to exist.
