“I'll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here. 'I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs.' 'I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.' 'Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!'”- Bill Hicks
If she can't even remember a person who she personally thanked for his involvement and work, that raises serious questions about her competency and fitness for office. Combined with her recent display of amnesia about the Reagans' failure on HIV/AIDS, I really am starting to wonder if there is something wrong with her ... something more than the pathological lying and lack of a moral compass we knew already; I mean does she really have trouble separating fact from fiction in her head? If so then I am more afraid of her than ever.
I heard something very interesting on Virtually Speaking Sunday's months ago. One of the commentators described the Clinton campaign running the pinnacle of last century's. She's running what will be the last old school campaign.
They don't understand the internet and that every morsel of info can be factchecked instantly. That's why they look like jackasses when they get caught, like with the Reagan thing, the sniper fire thing, etc. No wonder she's getting pwned in the millennial vote.
Let's assume for a moment that Hillary is not deliberately consciously lying about past events. If that is ruled out, then what is left to explain why some of her statements about past events are not accurate? I am not an expert in the field, so I am asking for help here. The thread I see is that her false memories redound to her benefit almost all the time, so could it be that she has a need to "improve" things and tidy up her memories to suit her self image or current needs? If so, this could be a real national security problem, like putting the Nation at risk based on false memories.
I hope we don't end up with a Chief Executive with her/his finger metaphorically on the nuclear button, while suffering from a false conception of reality.

We did manage to survive Reagan which was pretty much the same thing with a bit of dementia thrown into the mix. Still not a situation to relive if at all practical.
And i demand a brain scan from every presidential candidate; and the entire Supreme Court, as well. Yearly.
Is there a more sensible or important credential for a candidate to have? They need to have brain plasticity, empathy lobes, impulse control, and accessible memory storage.
The other day Hillary mentioned praying in the White House all the time.
I won't vote for anyone who admits to praying in the White House. Just admitting such a thing is a mental illness right there. No more Presidents with invisible friends in the sky.

It's likely her prayers were more along the lines of "Please don't let Bill fuck up today with some broad", but it sounds good to the masses. And a time of contemplation, whether you call it prayer, meditation, finding your chakras or what have you can be a good way to focus one's thoughts to face the day; my late father-in-law would get up an hour early every morning to do what is known as "centering prayer" before helping my disabled mother-in-law get ready for the day as well as get himself ready for work. And he was probably the most stable, centered person I've ever known (also a staunch progressive and Democrat).
Jeff Sharlet, who has deeply researched these people, describes how its leader, Doug Coe, told people they need to "emulate" totalitarian regimes in which children kill or inform on their parents in order to build a new society. While this seems a repudiation of Christian principles, those acting for God have different rules to follow than the rest of us. Doug Coe's son and The Family's heir apparent, David, explained what it meant to be a divinely chosen leader:
he asked a young man who'd put himself, body and soul, under The Family's authority, "Let's say I hear you raped three little girls. What would I think of you?" The man guessed that Coe would probably think he was a monster. "No," answered Coe, "I wouldn't." Why? Because as a member of the Family, he's among what Family leaders refer to as the "new chosen." If you're chosen, the normal rules don't apply.
I think it's honesty issues. She tells lies repeatedly and knows that even if half her listeners learn otherwise, the rest will never learn the truth. Then if you call her a liar, that makes you a Republican or a sexist. Maybe even a racist. And there's a special place in hell for you. Or something. Agh. I swear, I don't know how anyone who's paying any attention at all could vote for this woman.
And whether she had a head injury and bleeding in the brain.
I had a severe head injury 40 years ago and I have lost most of my memories from my 20's.
But I still have problems remembering things.
I recently asked a friend a question and she said YES! Apparently I asked the same question 4 times in 5 minutes.
So this might be what is happening to Hillary.
When do candidates release their health records?

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
He's in great shape despite his being a Cranky Old Deli Guy. The Mad bomber is looking into it I suppose she'll get back to us. I think Bernie did it early to counteract the Clinton talking points about how old he was. He seem to have great endurance for any age judging form his enthusiasm and grueling schedule. The millennials I know all think he's a smart, cool, cute, old grandpa. It seems bizarre for the HRC camp to practice concern troll ageism when she is 69. As my acupuncturist says to me after a spring gardening binge. Hillaery 'your no spring chicken'. He sure looks healthier the she does. I don't think she has a brain injury that lets her nasty bad ass self off the hook. She is what she is and always has been a sociopathic, lying, thieving, power mad, killer. He's pretty spry for and old guy.
And identified Hillary in the picture. I think someone already added it to Amy Chozick's feed. (Amy Chozick is the NYT reporter who Tweeted Hillary's quote, above.)

There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties.. This...is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution.--John Adams
That is not evidence that she saw him. Maybe each time she turned around he shuffled behind her so she couldn't ever see him, my kids do it to me all the time they get a kick out of it.
The #HistorybyHillary hashtag has that one in it a lot. Trending at number 3 as of a few minutes ago...hopefully it won't get "disappeared" like #WhichHillary did.
--Off my FB page, anyway -- but I could not resist sharing this one. I swear, that woman might as well have LIAR stamped across her forehead in big red letters. She simply lies and smears all day long. "I never met him!" "I never saw him!" etc., etc. When it's so clear that for every important cause for the past sixty years, if you didn't "see" Bernie there you just weren't looking.
Dolores Huerta, about Obama 2008: "I have been a civil rights activist like this all of my life, and I have been to Chicago many times for many different campaigns that the community there —- the Latino community was there. I have, to this day, to meet Mr. Obama. I have never encountered him in any of these big campaigns that we have done in Chicago on different issues. And, as I say, I have never yet to meet the man."
John Lewis, about Bernie 2016: "Well, to be very frank, I'm going to cut you off, but I never saw him, I never met him," Lewis said. "I'm a chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee for three years, from 1963 to 1966. I was involved in the sit-ins, the freedom rides, the March on Washington, the march from Selma to Montgomery, and directed their voter education project for six years."
Hillary Clinton, about Bernie 2016: "I don't know where he was when I was trying to get health care in '93-'94."
Kind of makes you think they might have the same speech writer, doesn't it?

Several in quick succession. Does HRC really want the Presidency because it's starting to look like self sabotage. Is the campaign involved before Clinton makes these statements?
Hillary and her campaign is imploding. Last weekend and Michigan went exactly the opposite they wanted. Remember 2008 and how it all self destructed in weeks for her. It is happening again.

I especially like the implication that because he -- a junior congressman from Vermont -- wasn't leading the fight for healthcare, his contribution and efforts were meaningless, while she was a great champion for healthcare reform who single-handedly built the reform movement while followers like Sanders fell into line behind her. Well, gee, I'm sorry. I'm guessing that had he been married to Bill Clinton, he'd have been in charge of the project.

You can call for no praying in the White House as a
qualification for holding the office of President all you want.
But most of us won't listen to you.
Prayer means many different things to different people.
I am not bothered in the least that Hillary or any other President or First Lady prayed in the White House.
I am more bothered, very bothered, by her association with the Dominionist group, The Family, and that so few voters seem to know about it:
