They are beginning to do their jobs. It seems as though that report opened their eyes. And they cannot fully comprehend what they are now seeing. But, it seems that they are trying. When criminal charges against the anointed one seem likely vs. "never will happen," that causes every news room to start pulling out their hair. Then, overcompensate. Then, find blame in other media arms for causing the mess. Then, state they are redoing their Journo team, and promise to do bitter. Better. Butter. Batter. Some b word.

As for the strumpet, a blowhard are can fool some of the sheeple some of the prime time, and a lot less over a longer period of time.

Very dangerous. Hillary is a very weak candidate, but many Dems would rather risk losing with her than winning with Bernie.

The traditional slogan of the Democratic party campaigns is going to be a tougher sell this year than usual, even with Donald Trump to run against. Hillary Clinton excites a minority of the Democratic base, which is less than a third of the electorate. She stands for nothing other than her own sense of entitlement and the power of a second X chromosome. She promises nothing -- nothing anyone with three brain cells to rub together will believe. She is already almost as widely disliked as Trump, and exactly as distrusted. And she's got plenty of downside with the electorate from here. The new scandals about emails and pay-to-play around the Clinton Foundation will be the meat and drink of the next 5 1/2 months of the news.

I suspect that if she squeaks out a win against the most disliked and dishonest candidate in history, she will limp across the finish line so bloodied she will have negative coattails and less political capital than Newt Gingrich presently enjoys. Can she campaign in such a way that she improves over time in the polls? She never has managed it thus far. Even against Trump it will be an open question whether she can manage it.

Back in January I wrote a tough story about Clintonian corruption at TOP called "Enough," and reprinted it here when I joined. One observation sticks out, and may be pertinent to this diary:

The most important lesson the 2016 campaign teaches so far is that people are fed up with the status quo, and are no longer willing to listen to the establishment’s opinion shapers telling them the way things are supposed to be. They are increasingly believing their lying eyes. Republican voters are growing tired of the slave auction acquisitions leading them around by the nose. Democratic voters are less worldly wise, so far. But the plurality of voters, who choose to associate with neither party and are sick to death of the show, they are in large part more aware than either. People in general are increasingly unwilling to accept the arguments for the status quo, the preemptive capitulation to the power of money, the reality of oligarchy.

First there's the orange buffoon who has pissed off other country's leaders who say that they won't work with him.

And then the candidate that is under investigation by the FBI and has a history of making deals that the other party has spent so much time investigating them.

And I agree, what are the two of them running on? Trump changes his mind from one speech to the next one.
And anything that Hillary says, well raise your hands, do you believe anything she says that she is going to do?
Fight for the middle class vs. fight for the banks and corporations that have financed her career and lifestyle.

We finally has a candidate that represents what the democrats used to stand for and people are going to vote for the status quo and liar.

Oh, PULEEZE! This be Mer'ka, where suckers and rubes get taken every day. Why are the Kardashians wealthy if this isn't true?

That it has happened in the past his historical. That it will happen in the future is inevitable.

I will rethink my premise if USA-ans wake up and give power to Bernie this fall.

To me, this is one mind blowing election year. I never thought Bernie's campaign would have received the traction it did. Then, to see the visceral reaction to it by the Democratic party was just too much to take. Instead of embracing a turn toward the roots of what made the party so great in the first place, they rejected it like hissing hyenas. All along attacking Bernie and his supporters personally, and purposely avoiding the issues. The Democratic party's moves this year have shown me just how fucking corrupt our government is. Now, I have to think: support the corrupt system or let it go down. The trouble is, I have many good friends that will be targeted by the Mule. This is the most horrid election ever. Just waiting for the mud slinging that will take place between David Brock and the Donald. Holy fuck is it going to be ugly. This is America, where we just don't have a sane fucking choice. Maybe it is really time to start considering the 3rd party option, I gotta go read more about Jull Stein and the Green Party.

Karma is a Bitch.

Especially when it catches up with you,
at the most inopportune times.

The Neo-Liberals' appointment was long overdue.

A clear and concise indictment of this useless political system we currently endure.
