We’re suffering with Donald Trump for a reason. We're going through this because far too many people were much too willing to just follow the lead of the string-pullers. The DNC told those people to vote for Hillary Clinton or else, and that's just what they did - at least, some of them. If Hillary had won, what would stop them from doing that very same thing in the next election, and the one after that? So instead of pointing the finger at each other, we should just stop for a minute and think about the consequences of blindly allowing others to manipulate our vote. We learn by being burnt, and Trump simply represents a hot skillet, the very same kind of hot skillet that taught me to never vote for a Clinton again.
.
I wrote an article discussing the need for Black people to become efficient thinkers in order to move forward. That article applies perfectly here. In fact, I wish I had this discussion as a example when I wrote it. I understand the frustration of many people, but it's misdirected. We've all been played by the DNC, but the first reaction of many is to blame their own people, and to start calling each other names because many refused to vote for the preferred bigot. But the anger of those frustrated over Trump should rightly be directed toward the DNC who used corruption and deceit to force them to have to choose between two bigots in the first place. The DNC made Trump a virtual shoo-in by shoving Hillary down our throats. Too many people saw through Hillary, and they hated what they saw. So it was foolish to even expect to win when even the polls were telling them that the rules have been bent to run the most flawed Democratic candidate since the Civil War. So instead of going online and ranting about their own people, the appropriate thing to do was to direct their anger at the DNC. If the DNC got a few million letters like the one below it would cause them to think long and hard before they tried to manipulate us again.
. HILLARY CLINTON’S CORRUPTION, AND DESTRUCTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY (ACCORDING TO DONNA BRAZILE, CHAIRMAN OF DNC)
.
1). “As Hillary’s campaign gained momentum, she resolved the party’s debt and put it on a starvation diet. It had become dependent on her campaign for survival, for which she expected to wield control of its operations.”
.
2). “Gary Gensler, the chief financial officer of Hillary’s campaign, described the party as fully under the control of Hillary’s campaign, which seemed to confirm the suspicions of the Bernie camp. The campaign had the DNC on life support, giving it money every month to meet its basic expenses, while the campaign was using the party as a fund-raising clearinghouse. Under FEC law, an individual can contribute a maximum of $2,700 directly to a presidential campaign. But the limits are much higher for contributions to state parties and a party’s national committee.”
.
Thus, Hillary was using the DNC to skirt campaign finance laws. “Individuals who had maxed out their $2,700 contribution limit to the campaign could write an additional check for $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund—that figure represented $10,000 to each of the 32 states’ parties who were part of the Victory Fund agreement—$320,000—and $33,400 to the DNC. The money would be deposited in the states first, and transferred to the DNC shortly after that. Money in the battleground states usually stayed in that state, but all the other states funneled that money directly to the DNC, which quickly transferred the money to Brooklyn” - or to the Hillary Clinton campaign.
.
“Wait,” I said [DNC Chairman Brazile]. “That victory fund was supposed to be for whoever was the nominee, and the state party races. You’re telling me that Hillary has been controlling it since before she got the nomination?”
.
3). “Right around the time of the convention, the leaked emails revealed Hillary’s campaign was grabbing money from the state parties for its own purposes, leaving the states with very little to support down-ballot races.”
.
“A Politico story published on May 2, 2016, described the big fund-raising vehicle she had launched through the states the summer before, quoting a vow she had made to rebuild ‘the party from the ground up … when our state parties are strong, we win. That’s what will happen.’ . . .
“Yet the states kept less than half of 1 percent of the $82 million they had amassed from the extravagant fund-raisers Hillary’s campaign was holding. A Politico story described this arrangement as ‘essentially … money laundering’ for the Clinton campaign.”
.
So Hillary was using the DNC to take money from the states to use for her own campaign. Could that be the reason that we have so few Democratic governors and other officeholders across America? Could that also be the reason that Democrats are so vulnerable to gerrymandering across the nation, solidifying the Republican lock on congress? Really!!!? - because of one woman’s self-serving ambition!!!?

A MESSAGE TO THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
It has come to my attention that you’ve just adopted a rule requiring candidates to both run, and serve, as Democrats. Such arbitrary rules are, by definition, undemocratic, and they’re also an insult to the voter. You’re trying to deprive the voters of their freedom of choice. Such an action is just as unconscionable as gerrymandering, instituting a poll tax, or a literacy test. It’s an attempt to give the candidates of YOUR choice an unfair advantage. The candidates who the voters choose to vote for should be the VOTER’S choice, not yours. So who wants to vote for - or even trust - people who try to deprive the voters of their right to choose?
.
Just the thought of your arrogant attempt at manipulation turns my stomach. That’s why I voted against Hillary Clinton in the last election - and that was in spite of the fact that I knew it could cause Trump to win. But I came to the conclusion that since I was being manipulated out of my right to choose, I would vote for democracy by voting third party - and although I hate Trump intensely, I’d do the exact same thing again even if the election was being held tomorrow and my vote alone would determine whether the Democrats won or lost. Because as I see it, one group of scoundrels are no better than another, and I WILL NOT allow myself to be blackmailed out of my vote - and believe me, there are millions of other voters across this country who feel EXACTLY the same way I do. You’re trying to treat us like children, and personally, I don’t appreciate it a bit.
.
One of your cultists asked me, "Didn't you learn anything from the 2016 election?" I did. I learned that many of the people who run the DNC are nothing more than corporate conservatives in drag, and thus, just as corrupt as any Republican. So while I hated seeing Donald Trump win the election, I would have been just as miserable if Hillary had won. At least Trump is serving to wake people up from their state of apathetic somnambulism, but with Hillary it would have been the quiet corruption of business as usual. I only agree with Trump in one regard - Hillary should have gone to jail over her emails, because the one and only reason she used a private server was to try to hide her corrupt pay-to-play schemes from the federal government:
.
BILL CLINTON ENCOURAGED TRUMP TO RUN,
THINKING THAT WOULD GIVE HILLARY A SURE WIN
"New Democrats, also called centrist Democrats, Clinton Democrats or moderate Democrats, are a relatively centrist ideological faction within the Democratic Party that emerged after the victory of Republican George H. W. Bush in the 1988 presidential election. Describing themselves as "centrist", they are an economically moderate to conservative and "Third Way" faction of the party. New Democrats dominated the party starting in the late 1980s after the U.S. electorate turned to the political right, until the mid-2010s following a rise in the Congressional Progressive Caucus" (Wikipedia - New_Democrats).
.
And please don’t try to write me off as just another fanatical "Bernie Bro," because I’m not. I'm simply an informed American citizen who's highly insulted over being dealt with like I'm a clueless child, and people like me are growing with every day that's passes. It's time for the American people to send you arrogant bastards a message, and this is mine - you’re NOT our leaders, you’re our EMPLOYEES, and any one of you who don't understand that fact needs to be voted out of office.
.
So I sincerely hope you have the common sense to review your thoughtlessly ridiculous decision, because if you don’t, you can add Jesus to your ticket and I’d vote against him - and since he espoused honesty and fairness, I’m sure he’d be in my corner.

You'll find just a few of the people you've pissed off below.

A TRUE progressive.

December 14 at 9:12am · Them: Michelle Obama for President. Me: What qualifies her other than sleeping with a President? Them: You ignorant. Stop being fake Black Person. You think you so smart, but you dumb. Me: Please tell me what she has done that qualifies her to be President. Them: "silence"
.
THE HEAVY PRICE OF ANTI-INTELLECTUALISM
.
Dr. Selassie, you recently posted a comment to one of my posts where I suggested that Michelle Obama be drafted for president. In your post, you said, “I don’t vote for people based on who they slept with. Tell MO to go get a day job.” Then you went on to ask, what qualifies Michelle Obama to be president? You said, “Tell me what MO has done concretely that qualifies her to be President of the United States?”
.
That was THE most uninformed, sexist, and bigoted comment that I’ve heard coming from any Black man since I’ve been posting to the internet, and I’ve been posting to the net since it was called a bulletin board. What makes you assume that Michelle’s only significance as a human being is the fact that she slept with Barack Obama, because she’s a woman? So, once again, Selassie, you've managed to shock me beyond belief with one of your blindly bigoted, and recklessly unwarranted assumptions. The last time I heard anything even approaching your level of cluelessness was in 2008 when Hillary Clinton betrayed a similar kind of condescension against Barack Obama.
.
In her 2008 run against Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton said, “He’s [John McCain] never been the president, but he will put forth his lifetime of experience. I will put forth my lifetime of experience. Senator Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002." In other words, what kind of life experience could an ignorant coon possibly have that would qualify him to be President of the United States? That's exactly the kind of attitude you're bringing to the table with respect to Michelle Obama. The irony of the Hillary Clinton episode was, in the end, it turned out that it was Hillary herself, with all of her "lifetime of experience," that ended up being the only smudge on President Obama's record after eight years in office. But in spite of that glaring irony, I'll respond to your question anyway, because you're obviously in dire need of an education.
.
Michelle LaVaughn Robinson-Obama attended Princeton University and graduated cum laude in 1985. She then went on to earn a degree from Harvard Law School in 1988. Thereafter, she went to work for the Chicago office of the Sidley Austin law firm, where she met Barack Obama and was assigned as his mentor. She also worked as an assistant to Mayor Richard Daley, and later as the Assistant Commissioner of Planning and Development for the city of Chicago. So based on just those qualifications alone, even then - before she became First Lady - Michelle was twice as qualified to be President of the United States as Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln was only self-taught as a lawyer, while Michelle Obama graduated from both Princeton and Harvard. In addition, she didn't just sleep with the president, she was his mentor - she was responsible for SCHOOLING him right after he graduated from law school. And another thing, she’s certainly more qualified than either George W. Bush, or, Donald Trump. Charles Ogletree, a Harvard professor who taught both Michelle and Barack Obama, said recently of Barack, "you know his wife should have been president, absolutely." So tell me, Selassie, what in your eyes makes Michelle any less qualified than any one of these gentlemen, the fact that she’s a woman, or because she’s a Black woman?
.
Your comment clearly demonstrates that your perception is based more on Michelle Obama's race and/or gender than the facts, and there's a phrase for people who go around recklessly spewing such flawed and unwarranted assumptions as you've done here - the phrase is "narrow-minded bigot," whether you're cognizant of your bigotry or not. It's not as though you initially asked whether or not Michelle was qualified, you simply made the assumption that she wasn't, just like Hillary Clinton did in the case of Barack Obama - and by the way, you can't be trained to become President of the United States, you simply have to have the knowledge and intelligence to learn on the job as you go along, and Michelle has more than proven that she has everything it takes in that regard, and more. Look at what we currently have in the White House - a man who is both unqualified, and untrainable, because he has an inability to grasp complex ideas, and has the attention span of a tick. Yet, you question the fact that this highly educated Black woman could do his job. That's unbelievable.
.
BLACK WOMEN HAVE BECOME THE MOST EDUCATED GROUP IN THE UNITED STATES | The Independent .
.
Black women are now the most educated group in the US, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Between 2009 and 2010, black women earned 68 percent of associate's degrees, 66 percent of bachelor's degrees, 71 percent of master's degrees and 65 percent of all doctorates awarded to black students.
www.independent.co.uk › News › World › Americas Jun 3, 2016 .
And in another thoughtless comment, you said, “I am not sure if Black people were ever behind neoliberalism. Can you explain?”
.
That’s yet another ridiculous statement. It was Black people who got behind Hillary Clinton to get her the Democratic nomination during the 2016 primaries, and it was also Black people who were running around calling Bill Clinton “Our first Black president” - even as he was creating the Prison/Industrial complex which ended up negatively impacting the lives of more Black people than there were slaves in all of America in 1850 - and the Clintons virtually INVENTED neoliberalism. So how can you say Black people weren’t behind neoliberalism? Most Black people are into personality politics rather than movements, so they're into whatever their favorite politician is into, a flaw in our thinking that we're going to have to correct, because the Clintons were the very face of neoliberalism due to their closet conservatism. The fact is, I’m still fighting many Black people over their mindlessly unwarranted love of the Clintons for that very reason:
.
A MESSAGE TO HILLARY CLINTON CULTISTS
.
Whenever Clinton cultists try to point their finger at those of us who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton it makes me want to throw up. They shouldn’t point their finger at those of us who refused to vote for this woman, but look to themselves for being so delusional that they thought they could force the most hated and distrusted Democratic nominee since the Civil War down the people’s throat.
.
The Democrats didn’t lose to Trump on election night, Trump became the President-Elect during the Democratic primaries due to the unrealistic, short-sighted, and uninformed stupidity of Clinton cultists during the Democratic primaries. They didn’t have sense enough to realize that trying to force America to choose between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was like trying to force INFORMED Americans to choose between cyanide and strychnine. In addition, they failed to realize that conservatives who claimed not to like Trump, secretly loved everything he stood for, so when they went into the voting booth, they secretly voted for him.
.
On the other hand, trying to get INFORMED progressives to vote for Hillary Clinton - who, again, was the most lying, distrusted, and hated Democratic nominee since the Civil War - they were asking progressives who were much more informed than themselves to vote for David Duke, since the Clintons have done a hundred times more damage to the American middle class, minorities, and the Black community than the Klan has ever done. So they need to put that dumb-ass bullshit to rest. We have Trump as a direct result of Clinton cultists’ closed-minded lying, deceit, corruption, and uninformed determination to shove Hillary Clinton down America’s throat in spite of the fact that we said we didn’t want her.
.
The Clintons walk like liberals and talk like liberals but they always seem to leave conservative policies in their wake. They've been more successful in promoting the conservative agenda and destroying the American middle-class way of life than any administration in American history, including Ronald Reagan's. They're responsible for NAFTA, which allowed $20 an hour jobs to be sent out of the country to be performed by people who make less per week than many upper-middle-class Americans spent on lunch per day, and they gutted Glass-Steagall (which President Roosevelt put into place to prevent Wall Street greed from plunging the nation into a second Great Depression), which led directly to the 2008 Wall Street crash. Clinton also abolished the Fairness Doctrine (no, it wasn't Reagan as many people think. Reagan simply prevented it from being elevated from a regulation to a law, but Clinton abolished it outright). That led to the creation of the corporate media culture and propaganda machines like Fox News that were then allowed to spew conservative propaganda and disinformation with impunity.
.
Clinton's "Welfare Reform" led to the undue suffering of millions of poor Americans. And then, after colluding with Ronald Reagan to flood the Black community with crack cocaine while governor of Arkansas, after becoming president - even as Black people were running around calling him our “first Black president” - Clinton signed the most draconian crime bill in United States history to incarcerate on a massive scale the very victims of the crime that HE committed, just to prove to Republicans that he wasn’t “soft on coons” - and he actually paid states EXTRA to give those victims longer sentences. And again, as a direct result, today there are more Black people under the control of the prison/industrial complex than were enslaved in all of America in 1850, a decade prior to the Civil War, and that very same prison industrial complex became one of Hillary Clinton's largest and most prolific political contributors.
.
Thus, as a direct result of Clinton’s unconscionable actions, the lives of hundreds of thousands of Black people have been completely destroyed - and it’s still having a negative impact on Black people today. There's currently a huge part of an entire generation of young Black people who don't know anything about their culture, and don't really know what it means to be Black, because the people who were responsible for teaching them were either dead, in prison, or mentally disabled by the effects of crack cocaine. As a result, instead of developing their potential and preparing for the future, many of these young people, who were literally raised by the corporate media, has been conditioned to believe that their role in life is to be criminals, drug addicts, and at the very bottom of society. In addition, they're being mesmerized by the media by being fed a constant diet of music that celebrates drug use, killing one another, and referring to the very womb of their culture as "bitches and hoes." So their fate is all but sealed. And worse, they're unfit parents for the generation that's coming up.
.
So if a new election were being held tomorrow and my vote alone would determine the outcome, I'd still vote against Hillary, Trump, or noTrump. It’s much easier to fight a bloviating idiot than it is the insidious treachery of a Hillary Clinton, because she's more subtle, and not in your face. We have the entire country up-in-arms against Trump, but with Hillary it would have been business as usual, because she would cut our throats with a scapel instead of a hacksaw.

"New Democrats, also called Centrist Democrats, Clinton Democrats or Moderate Democrats, are a relatively centrist ideological faction within the Democratic Party that emerged after the victory of RepublicanGeorge H.

So Dr. Selassie, if you profess to be an educator, you really should bone up on what’s going on around you, or at the very least, put more thought into what you say before you say it. Because, again, the comments you’ve made above are absolutely ridiculous, and as a so-called educator, you’re not only embarrassing yourself, but you’re embarrassing the Black community as a whole. Many in this White supremacist society already think we’re ignorant, so please don’t add to that perception, because as we should be able to see, such perceptions are deadly. We can't out-scream 'em, because they control the media, and we can't outfight 'em, because they control the military and police, so our only alternative is to out-think 'em. That's where our educators should come in, but you're absolutely worthless until you train yourself to think efficiently, and I'm not seeing that here. What I see is a lot of very sloppy thinking.
.
So I’m keeping a list of some of the more outrageous comments being made by politicians, ministers, and so-called Black intellectuals for a book on “THE PRICE OF ANTI-INTELLECTUALISM,” and I can see now that you're gonna be featured quite prominently, because it's very important for the Black community to understand that the primary reason that Black people can’t find justice is because we aren’t respected, and the reason we’re not respected is because far too few of us are using our creativity and powerful intellect for anything other than singin’, dancin’, and running with a ball.
.
Due to a system filled with shallow-minded, uninspired, and tribalist educators, our educational institutions are conferring advanced degrees upon people who are actually moderately educated 9th graders who fail to understand that no one can educate you. You must educate yourself. For that reason Black people can't afford to just think as a hobby, we must make thinking a way of life.
.
But unfortunately, many of us in the Black community would rather be seen as cool, than knowledgeable - we're not as interested in actually seeking knowledge as we are wearing the robe across the stage to get a receipt from the White man attesting to the fact that we've been through his brainwashing academy- and we’re paying a heavy price for that.
.
So do the Black community a favor - if you choose to be an educator, dedicate yourself to being a real educator. Don't just stand before a class and regurgitate the words of dead White men, teach students to think for themselves; and don't just collect a check for keeping our young people ignorant and uninspired, teach them to be careful, thoughtful, and creative thinkers. If you're not doing those things, regardless of what you're being paid for, you're not an educator, you're a fraud - just another Cornel West, with his "prophetic tradition" and advanced degrees in talkin' snakes.
.
"The Prophetic tradition?" That's laughable. Prophecy and all other unfounded beliefs are the very antithesis of knowledge. It translates into Voodoo. Truly learned individuals believe in efficient thought, not prophecy or any other unfounded beliefs, and what seems to be your trove of unexamined assumptions fall right into that category. Instead of examining the facts, you indulged your sexist and/or racist mindset to simply assume that Michelle Obama doesn't possess the wherewithal to be President of the United States. But if you were truly a man of knowledge and wisdom (putting your PhD, receipts, and all other accoutrements of alleged knowledge aside for the moment), immediately after making such a baseless assumption, your very next thought should have been, "What evidence do I have of that?" That, in turn, would have led to your doing at least a minimal amount of research, which would have helped to inform you, and it would have prevented you from making a public fool of yourself.
.
You once told me that you didn't answer one of my questions because since I didn't have a PhD in psychology you thought it would be a waste of time. But as I told you on that occasion, Socrates was a mere stonemason, yet, by many, he's considered the father of modern thought, and he educated some the greatest minds of his time, including Plato. So you should never confuse education with intelligence. While I haven't been anointed by the White man with one of his PhDs, nevertheless, I'm something of an educator myself, so I sincerely hope you have the innate intelligence to embrace the following axiom: Arrogance betrays itself. If you possess the kind of brilliance that warrants arrogance, you should also possess enough wisdom to avoid it.
.
And let me leave you with this bit of knowledge. It involves two very simple concepts. First, never rely on a receipt from the White man to attest to your intellect. That's a form of worship, because you can't worship a document without worshipping the man who conferred it upon you. Your PhD has absolutely no value unless you assume that the man who conferred it upon you is superior to yourself. Thus, you're relying on the fact that the man who conferred your receipt upon you is not an idiot himself. There are enough advanced degrees in congress to be used as toilet paper, yet congress is undoubtedly among the most dysfunctional institutions in America. Think about that. It speaks volumes regarding the relative value of credentials as opposed to intellect.
.
And second, always make sure you know what the hell you're talking about before you start shootin' off your mouth. That'll prevent you from embarrassing yourself in the future. Always avoid the tendency to jump on your high horse, because it's inevitable that you're going to come across people capable of dragging you off of it. Instead, you should always think of yourself as a student of knowledge, intent on sharing what you've learned with your peers, because in the final analysis, that's what we all are - students.

CORNEL (THE PROPHET) WEST ON THE VERY MORNING THAT BARACK OBAMA ANNOUNCED HIS CANDIDACY
.
.
THE VERY SAME CORNEL WEST SUCKIN' UP - AND LEAVING MESSAGES AND PRAYERS OVER THE PHONE - AFTER OBAMA WON
HILLARY SEEMS TO BELIEVE SHE SHOULD BE HANDED THE PRESIDENCY BECAUSE IT'S 'HER TURN'
.
I wish Hillary Clinton and her supporters would stop running around trying to find a scapegoat for why she lost. All they’re trying to do is setup a scenario where they can claim that her lost to Trump was an aberration, so if she ran again in the 2020 election she’d be successful this time. But that’s not true. All she would do would be to create yet another Democratic disaster. So progressives need to nip Hillary’s obsession in the bud before she revves up her political corruption machine again.
.
Hillary’s unbridled ego, ambition, and sense of entitlement is causing her to believe that she has a RIGHT to the presidency because it’s her turn. But the American people don’t share her sentiments. So the people have to make it crystal clear to her exactly why she lost, and why she would lose again in 2020. The fact is, she lost because the vast majority of Americans don’t like her, and they want her to go away.
.
Donald Trump’s support is firm, because it’s based on hatred and bigotry. But Hillary Clinton’s support is tenuous. Many progressives who voted for her were holding their nose and weren’t actually voting for her, but against Trump. But there are also a sizeable number of informed progressives, like myself, who can’t stand her. They don’t like what she represents - her lying, her corruption, her sense of entitlement, or her condescending attitude toward the people.
.
So the fact is, if a new election were held today, and my vote alone would determine the outcome, I’d STILL vote against Hillary, Trump or no Trump, and there are a large number of progressives who feel exactly the same way I do. Yes, Trump is a buffoon, and he’s dangerous, but virtually the entire nation has risen up against him. But Hillary is just as dangerous, because she’s sneaky, insidious, and she has a well oiled political machine poised to cut our throats, just like she and Bill did the last time they were in the White House, with NAFTA, the gutting of Glass-Steagall, Welfare reform, the prison industrial complex, and the abolishment of the Fairness Doctrine, which allowed the conservative corporate media - including Fox News - to virtually take over our airways and spew conservative propaganda with complete impunity.
.
Yet Hillary claims that it was Bernie Sanders' fault that she lost. But the fact is, she didn’t actually lose on election night. The 2016 election was lost when the DNC used corruption and deceit to nominate her in the first place. The DNC miscalculated. In spite of the fact that they knew full well that next to Donald Trump, Hillary was the most hated politician in America, they tried to shove her down our throats under the assumption that given a choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, the American people would hold their nose and vote for Hillary, but they were wrong. Many of us either voted 3rd party, or didn't vote at all. Hillary was just too much for us to take.
.
So Hillary, her supporters, and the DNC need to own up to that and stop trying to blame everybody else for the Democratic disaster that THEY brought about. After all, if they engaged in the very same kind of corruption to give Steve Harvey the nomination, when he lost, who’s fault would that be, the peoples, or there’s? If you want to win an election, you’ve got to give the people who THEY want to vote for, not the choice of the DNC.
.
So the bottom line is, if the Clinton machine got Hillary the nomination again in 2020, all we’d see is a replay of 2016. So go away, Hillary, and spare us your neurotic obsession. And one other thing - Hillary supporters, wake up!
. Eric L. Wattree
Hutch, I am truly shocked by you. Generally you are a very efficient thinker, but in this case you seem to think that in order to be against Trump, we have to embrace Hillary. That's the kind of thinking that got us Trump in the first place, because there are a lot of very thoughtful people who saw right through that flawed logic and refused to vote for either one of them. But those of you who did buy into that nonsense allowed the Democratic establishment to manipulate you into engaging in the pick-a-bigot game. I don't play that. If the Democratic Party would have nominated David Duke would you have voted for him? Well, the Clintons are no better. Twenty-seven years later the Black community is STILL suffering from what the Clintons did to us.
.
I don't like Hillary or Trump, and I'm going to fight against both of them, regardless to how Clinton loyalist feel about it. One is just as bad as the other, so just because I refuse to drink cyanide, doesn't mean that I have an obligation to consume strychnine. You see, I don’t become enamored with personalities. I fight for and against issues, and in this case, both Trump, and Hillary, represent bigotry, corruption, and injustice - and from my point of view, there’s no such thing as a lessor bigot. A bigot is a bigot - period.
.
So I'm currently on Hillary because she doesn't seem to get the point. She doesn’t seem to realize that it’s time for her to get the hell off the political stage; she’s done enough damage. But due to her unbridled ego and ambition, I believe she's planning on running again in 2020. So it is my intent to inform the people of exactly who she really is in order to nip that in the bud. But that doesn't mean that I can't also go after Trump. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other, so it's the height of stupidity to try to conflate the two. It constitutes nothing less than giving one bigot a pass, and any Black person who embraces that philosophy is a damn fool.
.
Hillary supporters - like yourself - like to recite the DNC mantra that "If you don't like Hillary you must like Trump." That is so goddamn childish and lame that it's unbelievable that they would even try to pass that nonsense off to thinking adults. Actually, the people should be pissed at the Democratic Party for thinking that we would be so stupid as go for that. If they had any respect for us they would have recognized is as an insult to our intelligence, and for many of us it was just that. That's why we have Trump in the Oval Office today, because hoards of Democrats voted 3rd party, like myself, or didn't vote at all. The thinking people among us realized that if they could get us to pick between two corrupt and lying bigots this time, how many more corrupt and lying bigots are they going to try to get us to support in the future? So in that regard, it's good that Trump did win, because it should teach the DNC a lesson.
.
So no, I don’t like Hillary, but neither do I like Trump, and I find that to be perfectly consistent with good and common sense:
Trump supporters are constantly claiming that "Deep State" is out to get him. Deep State is not “out to get” Trump, they're simply trying to protect America from an idiot. That’s their job. Trump is his own worst enemy, and he has made it clear that he's unfit for office. Even his own staff is disgusted with him, that's why the White House is leaking like a sieve. The only people who care about Trump are a handful of bigots, and even THEY'RE beginning to see the light, because it seems that everything he does and says is immature and stupid. So in terms of getting the people's admiration and respect, becoming president was the very worst thing that could have ever happened to Trump, because it’s placed his immaturity, narcissism, and gross ignorance on public display. White House aides can’t stop talking about President Trump like he’s a toddler.
.
The real problem is, Putin makes Trump look like the lightweight he is, and that makes the American people look like lightweights. Leaders all over the world know that the best way to get whatever they want out of Trump is to give him a parade, because at his core Trump is an insecure, self-absorbed man-child desperately seeking validation. He’s so emotionally immature that the only thing important to him is self-aggrandizement. That’s why he’s so fixated on the myth that he had the biggest crowds in history at his inauguration. He seems determined to prove that he’s a great man who is adored by the masses, so he doesn’t have time to be worried about little “petty” things like the suffering of the American people or the sorry state of this nation, that’s irrelevant. The only thing that’s important to him is to prove that the American people love and admire Donald Trump, and any evidence that suggests otherwise is “fake news.” The man is absolutely delusional, and anyone who can’t see that is also less than fully grounded - and that’s far more than just an opinion, it's the general consensus of the American people. Read the polls.
.
That makes him an extremely dangerous man, because he'll put self before country every time. He doesn't know how to think in any other way. Look at his behavior in the current North Korean nuclear crisis, for example. He's capable of starting WWIII just to raise his poll numbers, but he's so clueless he could also do it inadvertently. Without thinking it through, discussing it with his staff, or even giving it a second thought, he told the North Koreans, "North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen." That was a needlessly stupid escalation of a very dangerous situation. He's playing a game of "chicken," with another egomaniacal lunatic with the lives of the American people. That alone shows that he's completely irresponsible.
.
His poor judgement and self-absorbed nature could even be seen when he spoke at a Boy Scout jamboree where it is traditional to give uplifting and patriotic speeches to our youth, but his speech was all about Donald Trump: "Boy, you have a lot of people here. The press will say it's about 200 people. It looks like about 45,000 people. You set a record today. You set a record." And then he goes on to say, referring to election night before an audience of children, "But do you remember that incredible night with the maps and the Republicans are red and the Democrats are blue, and that map was so red, it was unbelievable, and they didn't know what to say?" It was so over-the-top that the Boy Scouts of America had to issue a public apology for the conduct of the President of the United States. Politico reported:
.
“The head of the Boy Scouts of America apologized to the group’s members on Thursday after President Donald Trump delivered a meandering, controversial and frequently political speech to the organization's National Jamboree on Monday. ‘I want to extend my sincere apologies to those in our Scouting family who were offended by the political rhetoric that was inserted into the jamboree,’ Chief Scout Executive Michael Surbaugh said in a letter published online. ‘That was never our intent.’ . . . Surbaugh noted in the letter that the group is nonpartisan and has had a ‘long-standing tradition’ of inviting the sitting president to speak at the event since its inception in 1937. He reiterated that Trump’s appearance at the gathering was ‘no way an endorsement of any person, party or policies.”’
.
Now that has to be a first, for the Boy Scouts to have to apologize for the behavior of the President of the United States. It clearly demonstrates the Donald Trump's horrible judgement, the man we’d have to depend on if this nation comes under threat. Are you frightened yet? If not, there’s something wrong with you . . .

Whenever Clinton cultists try to point their finger at those of us who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton it makes me want to throw up. They shouldn’t point their finger at those of us who refused to vote for this woman, but look to themselves for being so delusional that they thought they could force the most hated and distrusted Democratic nominee down the people’s throat since the Civil War.
.
The Democrats didn’t lose to Trump on election night; Trump became the President-Elect during the Democratic primaries due to the unrealistic, short-sighted, and uninformed stupidity of Clinton cultists during the Democratic primaries. They didn’t have sense enough to realize that trying to force America to choose between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump was like trying to force INFORMED Americans to choose between cyanide and strychnine. In addition, they failed to realize that conservatives who claimed not to like Trump, secretly loved everything he stood for, so when they went into the voting booth, they secretly voted for him.
.
On the other hand, trying to get INFORMED progressives to vote for Hillary Clinton - who, again, was the most lying, distrusted, and hated Democratic nominee since the Civil War - they were asking progressives who were much more informed than themselves to vote for David Duke, since the Clintons have done a hundred times more damage to the American middle class, minorities, and the Black community than the Klan has ever done. So they need to put that dumb-ass bullshit to rest. We have Trump as a direct result of Clinton cultist’s closed-minded lying, deceit, corruption, and uninformed determination to shove Hillary Clinton down America’s throat in spite of the fact that we said we didn’t want her.
.
The Clintons walk like liberals and talk like liberals but they always seem to leave conservative policies in their wake. They've been more successful in promoting the conservative agenda and destroying the American middle class way of life than any administration in American history, including Ronald Reagan's. They're responsible for NAFTA, which allowed $20 an hour jobs to be sent out of the country to be performed by people who make less per week than many upper-middle class Americans spent on lunch per day, and they gutted Glass-Steagall (which President Roosevelt put into place to prevent Wall Street greed from plunging the nation into a second Great Depression), which led directly to the 2008 Wall Street crash. Clinton also abolished the Fairness Doctrine (no, it wasn't Reagan as many people think. Reagan simply prevented it from being elevated from a regulation to a law, but Clinton abolished it outright). That led to the creation of the corporate media culture and propaganda machines like Fox News that were then allowed to spew conservative propaganda and disinformation with impunity.
.
.
Clinton's "Welfare Reform" led to the undue suffering of millions of poor Americans. And then, after colluding with Ronald Reagan to flood the Black community with crack cocaine while governor of Arkansas, after becoming president, even as Black people were running around calling him our “first Black president,” Clinton signed the most draconian crime bill in United States history to incarcerate on a massive scale the very victims of the crime that HE committed, just to prove to Republicans that he wasn’t “soft on coons” - and he actually paid states EXTRA to give those victims longer sentences. As result, today there are more Black people under the control of the prison industrial complex than were enslaved in all of America in 1850, a decade prior to the Civil War, and that very same prison industrial complex became one of Hillary Clinton's largest and most prolific political contributors.
.
Thus, as a direct result of Clinton’s unconscionable actions the lives of hundreds of thousands of Black people have been completely destroyed - and it’s still having a negative impact on Black people today. There's currently a huge part of an entire generation of young Black people who don't know anything about their culture, and don't really know what it means to be Black, because the people who were responsible for teaching them were either dead, in prison, or mentally disabled by the affects of crack cocaine. As a direct result, instead of developing their potential and preparing for the future, many of these young people, who were literally raised by the corporate media, have been conditioned to believe that their role in life is to be criminals, drug addicts, and at the very bottom of society. In addition, they're being mesmerized by the media by being fed a constant diet of music that celebrates drug use, killing one another, and referring to the very womb of their culture as "bitches and hoes." So their fate is all but sealed. And worse, they're unfit parents for the generation that's coming up - and speaking of unfit parents . . . .
.
.
So when anyone even suggests that I should have voted for Hillary Clinton, I'm absolutely insulted, because it clearly demonstrates that they are, at the very least, completely indifferent to the atrocities that the Clintons committed against the Black community - and unbelievably, this includes many Black people!!! These people will say, "Okay, okay, so they destroyed a generation of Black people and herded others into concentration camps, but what else have they done wrong?" Give me a break!!! If a new election were held tomorrow and my vote alone would determine the outcome, I'd still vote against Hillary, Trump, or noTrump. It’s much easier to fight a bloviating idiot than it is the insidious treachery of a Hillary Clinton, because it’s more subtle, and not in your face. .
The New York Times reported the following:
.
“In lucrative paid speeches that Hillary Clinton delivered to elite financial firms but refused to disclose to the public, she displayed an easy comfort with titans of business, embraced unfettered international trade and praised a budget-balancing plan that would have required cuts to Social Security, according to documents posted online Friday by WikiLeaks.
.
“The tone and language of the excerpts clash with the fiery liberal approach she used later in her bitter primary battle with Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont and could have undermined her candidacy had they become public.
.
“Mrs. Clinton comes across less as a firebrand than as a technocrat at home with her powerful audience, willing to be critical of large financial institutions but more inclined to view them as partners in restoring the country’s economic health.
.
“In the excerpts from her paid speeches to financial institutions and corporate audiences, Mrs. Clinton said she dreamed of “open trade and open borders” throughout the Western Hemisphere. Citing the back-room deal-making and arm-twisting used by Abraham Lincoln, she mused on the necessity of having “both a public and a private position” on politically contentious issues [In other words, sometimes it’s necessary to lie to the people]. Reflecting in 2014 on the rage against political and economic elites that swept the country after the 2008 financial crash, Mrs. Clinton acknowledged that her family’s rising wealth had made her “kind of far removed” from the struggles of the middle class.”
HILLARY CLINTON DOG-WHISTLING THE ASSISSANATION OF BARACK OBAMA
DEMOCRATS LOST THE 2016 ELECTION IN THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES
.
I’m so sick of hearing Clinton cultist trying to hold the people who refused to vote for Hillary Clinton responsible for Trump’s win that I could throw up. The DNC lost the 2016 election in the Democratic primaries when they used lying, deceit, and corruption to deprive the people of their right to choose, and then shoved the most hated, corrupt, and insidious Democratic nominee since the Civil War down our throats. What did they expect to happen? So they shouldn’t blame the people for refusing to be blackmailed out of their vote, they should blame themselves for failing to stand up for democracy and trying to push Hillary into the White House through hook or crook.
.
.
So I’m proud of the role I played in revealing Hillary Clinton's flaws. Yes, I'm disgusted that Donald Trump is now the President-Elect, but I'd be just as disgusted if it were Hillary Clinton, because she's no better than Trump, and quite possibly, worse. Hillary is sneaky and insidiously corrupt. In addition, she has a political machine in place that would give her the support she'd need to cut our throats covertly just like Bill Clinton did when he was in office. On the other hand, Trump is a mindless buffoon whose goal is to put ALL poor and middle class people back on the plantation - Black and White. So at least this time Black people will have allies to help them fight back.
.
In addition, Trump's election may have unintended consequences. The Republican don't have a sense of limits, so chances are they're going to go over the top and wake the people up to who they really are and sabotage themselves as a party. And further, if the intelligence community finds that Trump had any covert contact with the Russians during the election, that’s treason - and mark my words, the intelligence community (17 agencies) is looking into that as we speak - because they cannot allow the nation to have a “Manchurian Candidate” as President of the United States. If it's true, even if he wanted to go straight, the Russians could blackmail him. So Trump is entering office on very shaky ground, because the CIA doesn’t engage in spitball fights over twitter.
WHY I’M VOTING FOR JILL STEIN AND CONSIDER THE TRUMP THREAT A MYTH
.
BILL CLINTON SIGNING HIS URBAN HOUSING PROGRAM -
THE PRISON INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX, WHICH BECAME ONE
OF HILLARY'S BIGGEST POLITICAL CONTRIBUTORS
I'm going to be voting third party for the first time in my life, but I consider it the most important vote that I've ever cast. Even though I know that Jill Stein is not going to win, I consider my vote for her a vote for democracy, and against corruption. It's going to send a clear and unequivocal message to the Democratic Party to never, EVER try to play with my right to choose again. And if Donald Trump wins, oh, well. Maybe that'll have the unintended consequence of waking people up - and besides, Hillary is no better, and could very likely be much worse. We can only speculate about what Trump might do, but we've already experienced the kind of destruction the Clintons are capable of bringing upon us. We're still suffering from their last stint in the White House.
.
If Trump wins, he won't be able to bust a grape. If you think Barack Obama hit a brick wall when he became president, just imagine what Trump will face. He’s a buffoon and one of the most hated politicians in the history of American politics, so he has absolutely NO support worth mentioning. Where Obama only faced a hostile Republican congress, Trump would be facing both a hostile Republican and Democratic congress, and a hostile American public as well. So all he’d be able to do is sit up in the Oval Office and play with himself. As a result, the worse thing that he would bring to the country is continued gridlock, and make us the laughingstock of the world, which we deserve.
.
Yes, most Republicans secretly believe in everything Trump is spewing. The only thing they don't like about him is he's a loose cannon and he's saying what they believe out loud. That's why I think he could very possibly win this election. Although many claim to be against him, once they get into the secrecy of the polling booth they may very well vote for him, but the Republican Party can't afford to support him if he gets into office, because then they would take on his baggage, incur the hostility of the American people, render themselves a renegade party, and be voted out in droves in the next election.
.
On the other hand, Hillary has a political machine in place within the Democratic Party and the support of essentially ALL of Wall Street, so she'd be in a position to do serious damage. It has been reported that the Clintons' net worth is well over $200 million. They also control the $2 billion Clinton Foundation, so they're comfortably entrenched in the very corporate culture that has the American people virtually enslaved. Their daughter, Chelsea, is married to Marc Mezvinsky, an American investment banker, co-founder of hedge fund, Eaglevale Partners, and was formerly an investment banker at Goldman Sachs. Thus, the Clintons and Wall Street are, literally, in-laws. So Hillary would continue the process that they began the last time they were in the White House - robbing the American people blind, and turning our democracy into a corporate plutocracy. So Hillary, her reckless greed, and corporate allies are the greater threat to America.

Racism is not just the aggressive hatred of Black people, it's also the complacent acceptance of atrocities committed against them. If the Clintons had committed a fraction of the atrocities against Jews as they have Black people, Hillary wouldn't have even been able to run for office. But American's casual indifference toward the suffering of Black people is about to come back to bite 'em, because the new paradigm in this country is not just about racism. We're currently knee-deep in a class war against people who don't care any more about poor and middle class White people than they do Blacks or other minorities - and Hillary's one of them. The New York Times reported the following:
.
“In lucrative paid speeches that Hillary Clinton delivered to elite financial firms but refused to disclose to the public, she displayed an easy comfort with titans of business, embraced unfettered international trade and praised a budget-balancing plan that would have required cuts to Social Security, according to documents posted online Friday by WikiLeaks . . .

.
New Democrats, also called Centrist Democrats, Clinton Democrats or Moderate Democrats, are a relatively conservative ideological faction within the Democratic Party that emerged after the victory of Republican George H. W. Bush in the 1988 presidential election. Describing themselves as "centrist", they are an economically conservative and "Third Way" faction which dominated the party for around 20 years, starting in the late 1980s after the US populace turned much further to the political right. They are represented by organizations such as the New Democrat Network and the New Democrat Coalition.

Oh, and for those of you who are prone to give your genitals priority over your intellect, in the video below, notice the condescension and distain in which Hillary Clinton treats NPR correspondent Terry Gross as opposed to the respect she gives Terry's male colleagues like Anderson Cooper and others, in spite of the fact that they were asking much more biting questions. Hillary is not a woman, she's a political robot who's only dedicated, or loyal, to one thing - Hillary Clinton.
