54. Bald eagles probably like her
Sat Mar 26, 2016, 11:13 AM
Mar 2016

Bald eagles are notorious for letting osprey or bears do the work of catching a fish, then chasing the osprey until it drops the fish or swooping in and snatching it from the bear while it isn't looking. Hillary sees which of Bernie's proposals are playing well and then takes them for herself. And she feeds off the scraps from Wall Street and the rest of the top 0.1%.

Here's what Ben Franklin had to say about bald eagles in a letter to his daughter:

"For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country. He is a Bird of bad moral Character. He does not get his Living honestly. You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River, where, too lazy to fish for himself, he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish, and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones, the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him."
