95. Jury decisions go both ways...

Apr 2016

I had a post blocked that was nothing more than an actual picture of Hillary in an orange pantsuit. It wasn't photoshopped or otherwise altered, and all I posted was "something in Orange, perhaps?"

That was it. That was all. If a fucking real picture of HRC with a fairly harmless bit of text is enough to get her supporters crying to mommy over the big bad Sanders bullies, her peeps are going to swallow their goddamn tongues and piss themselves when Trump and his minions open fire with shit A MILLION TIMES WORSE.

Hillary has faced nothing but underhand, slow pitch wiffle balls in the primaries. Trumps BILLIONS could be serving up 100mph chin music on a daily basis for the next 6 months. You people better toughen up real quick. Bernie played nice. The GOP won't. All the cute little cards and "loud voice" hectoring by HRC is going to fall short of countering the nuclear barrage coming Hillary's way.

Add to that his supporters are highly motivated. Hillary's? Not so much. Show me video of a HRC rally that DOESN'T resemble a viewing at a funeral home. Hard to get excited over Goldman Sachs' favorite Democrat.
