The party that gave and sometimes delivered on hope for the US and indeed the world - FDR & Truman, John & Bobby Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson - has sank into an abyss of madness & degeneracy as we witness every day.

This is as good an example as any. I wonder has she set up a pretend Situation Room and has someone to carry round a pretend football.

Has-been Hillary
:National Review

Hillary is retired, but courtiers help her maintain the appearance of importance.

The funniest episode in the protective yet revealing new Hillary Clinton profile arrives when we learn that this sad, unemployed, 69-year-old lady is so desperate to keep her self-image alive that she still employs flunkies and retainers to treat her as though she actually were the president, or the secretary of state, or a president in waiting, or at very least the leader of the opposition.

Her longtime loyalists are so happy to bustle around her in the service of maintaining the illusion that, after she takes an hour away from it all to exercise, her communications director, Nick Merrill, breathlessly updates her on everything that’s happened in the political world in the last threescore ticks of the minute hand. Her profiler, Rebecca Traister of New York magazine, obviously a great admirer but one who declines to throw herself overboard from reality for the sake of giving Hillary more company bobbing about in the sea of fancy, writes that Clinton “listens to the barrage of updates, nodding like a person whose job requires her to be up-to-date on what’s happening, even though it does not.”

Ouch. Hillary Rodham Clinton isn’t merely in a state of denial. She has become Bruce Willis in The Sixth Sense. Politically speaking, she is dead, but she doesn’t know it. Her staffers are so many Haley Joel Osments — too kind (and too attached to their salaries) to tell her that her career is over. She doesn’t need briefings. She doesn’t need to do interviews. She doesn’t need to write the book she is writing (after so many indigestible volumes, why bother with one more?). She doesn’t need to stake out a politically nuanced position on James Comey’s firing or scramble to get out in front of the Resistance parade. She lost two exceedingly winnable presidential campaigns in Hindenburgian fashion. There is no demand for her to run again and there is nothing left for her except to receive whatever ceremonial honors and sinecures may come her way.

She has been handed her political retirement papers by the American people. She’s done.

Actually, she hasn't.

More American people voted for her than the bloated orange douche-bag accused of raping children.

But, you knew that already.

The Democrats are neither sad, sorry or in decline. They won the popular vote in the last election and with the astonishingly poor work of TRump and Co, the Dems are looking at possibly getting majorities in both houses in 2018. And with the chance of Trump being impeached and he and some of his colleagues possibly being charged with criminal offences, the white house in 2020 is already in the hands of the Democrats.

your dont know much about politics, do you?

Could well imagine that.

She was quite removed from reality during the election progress.

When people 'retire', they rapidly lose contact.

Why? He already has more scandals than the last 5 presidents combined and the smell of vastly more. He has been the least effective president ever in that he is still - 4 months into his term - without a single major legislative achievement. He still has most positions in his administration empty and now, almost no one who will take on any of the jobs.

Moreso just a lie.

Of course it's not all bad news for the Dems. They still have the support of the "critical thinkers", to use mothra's terminology, people like the celebrities.

Like this for instance:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/image/8575550-3x2-340x227.jpg

When you have these intelligent forward-thinking people in your corner you know you're on the right course.

Perhaps we better have a look at some more of the current leading lights in the Democrat party (says he with malice aforethought).

Moving along, here's another current Democrat leader to ponder on . . .Nancy (yes you heard her right) Pelosi:

http://www.theblaze.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/nancy-pelosi-2-1280x720.jpg

The more Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) speaks, the more it seems that decidedly odd stuff proceeds from the Democratic House minority leader’s mouth.

Earlier this month, the self-proclaimed “devout, practicing Catholic” offered in a speech that the Dalai Lama “prayed for me that I would rid myself of my negative attitude about dwelling on the negative too much.”

Then during a press briefing Thursday, Pelosi complained about Republican President Donald Trump’s choice for his first abroad trip: Saudi Arabia.

“I thought it was unusual for the president of the United States to go to Saudi Arabia first,” she remarked. “Saudi Arabia?”

Pelosi’s first reason for her dismay was, one might say, a head-scratcher.

“It wasn’t even alphabetical,” she said. “I mean, what, Saudi Arabia?”

***********
No doubt about it, the Democrats are in good hands, no?

You seem to not understand the nature of Trumps administration and how they are headed to impeachment and jail.

Shitpants draft dodger and known pedophile/child molester Nugent said President Obama should suck on a machine gun, and he got invited to the goddamned White House.

Even hardcore Rethuglicons are starting to get embarrassed by orange fat man. Even Senator Pat Roberts (no relation to religious wackjob Pat Robertson) of the Koch Korrputed state of Kansas was talking about SINGLE PAYER yesterday. They are desperate to get the Cheeto circus off the table before it drags their entire party down beyond the point of repair.


Nice try, Goebbels

Obstruction of Justice is already there for a number including Trump
Perjury is there for a few including Sessions and kushner

and that is just what Joe Public knows. If even half of the pile of evidence that is out there now goes somewhere, TREASON is a good possibility for a handful, including Trump.
