Hillary Clinton, political icon, on how LameDonaldDuck
has changed since she ran against him in 2016:
"Where is he now? Look, I think that he's lost the
plot. You know, back in 2016—10 years ago, think about that—he had a theory of
the case, he knew how he wanted to present himself, he had people around him
who had at least some ability to rein him in or to say no to him. He's totally
unfettered and unhinged now. And for him to go to the Reflecting Pool, one of
the great failures of his efforts to redo Washington, and stand there as though
it's a huge success and go on and on about all of his projects ripping up
Washington, destroying the East Wing, building an arch that will interfere with
air traffic control navigation in and out of Washington, I mean, you can't make
this up. He is so focused on himself. You know that old poem, 'Ozymandias,' he
wants to build tributes to himself, in the image of himself. I mean, he’s truly
lost the plot of being president for the American people, of winning a midterm election
that would be better than what I think is going to happen to him tomorrow. And
I do worry about how much more out of control he might get. And therefore,
having a Congress and having the courts and having state attorneys generals and
others all working to try to control the damage that he could do is going to be
really important.”
I’m with Her, still. Just think of America had he never been
elected and she won.
No tariffs; no wars; no dust-ups with our allies and no ass-kissing
to despots and tyrants. No criminality and grifting and enriching yourself and
your criminal family off the White House.
What a wonderful world this would be if racists didn’t get
out to vote and Democrats who weren’t sure about her hadn’t stayed home.

Goddess!
ReplyDeleteIf this country would have listened to Hillary! Can you IMAGINE the life we would have? Ugh. Idiots.
I can’t help but feel bitter. Cankles is above all, a malignant narcissist and malignant narcissists destroy what they cannot have. We were warned.
And I love Jessica Lange. Her Cora in The Postman Always Rings Twice is fab.
XOXO
Hillary told us, but a lot of us were scared of a woman running things, especially a smart women so we stayed home and let the literal shit hit the fan.
DeleteI don't think I've ever seen Lange in something I didn't love [even King Kong!!!]
Hillary wasn't wrong then, and she isn't wrong now. I do wonder how much lower IQ45 can go. There is still a number of weeks before the transition. Sadly, your country wasn't ready for a woman to lead them in 2016 or 2024. Things would be much different now. (We haven't reached that here in Canada, though we had an interim female PM for six months before she lost the next election).
ReplyDeleteIt is good to hear that some people - clearly women - on the right are speaking out about the GOP failures.
For such a progressive nation we are woefully behind the times here.
DeleteI still think the loss in '16 was two-fold. Too many didn't like The Hil because they felt threatened by a strong woman. The rest? Retribution for putting a Black man in the Oval, not once but twice!
ReplyDeleteBrava! Amy Acton.
Truth about Hillary!
DeleteWhy should Amy Acton waste her breath on a pig like Vivek?
Hillary, oh how things would be different today, if people had showed up and VOTED!
ReplyDeleteRight? Better, definitely.
DeleteI am behind Amy Acton 100%. The idea that she should engage with Ramaswamy after what he did is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI think no one should engage with Ramaswamy ever again.
DeleteI like Anna too.
ReplyDeleteWhat I fail to understand is Hedgebreath's attitude to the American fallen military. He lies about the numbers of the dead and wounded in Net a Yahoo's war and he sees the tomb of the Unknown Soldier as a place to laugh and make fun about. No-one should make fun of memorials for those who died for their country. The people of democracies honour those who died that we might be born free rather than live in a tyranny.
DUI Pete doesn't care about the military he cares about his power over the military.
DeleteHe needs to go!
the dog's mother
ReplyDeletexoxo :-)
Hillary has it right. He's never been able to accept his own failures, and during his first term he had guardrails to keep him from making too many mistakes. He has no guardrails now and they're happening daily.
ReplyDeleteLameDonaldDuck said today that he could beat Obama in an election.
DeleteThe stupid, it burns.
Good observations, all of them!
ReplyDeleteSavvy smart women!
DeleteI loved Jessica Lange (and Sissy Spacek and Diane Keaton) in "Crimes of the Heart." I didn't realize Amy Acton refused Vivek's call -- good for her. If ONLY Hillary had won in 2016!
ReplyDeleteI love that Lange film, too!
DeleteActon has zero fucks to give Vivek.
Some good quotes this week. And Jessica is smart and brilliant and intelligent enough to know when to stop. Many continue ...and I'm not sure why they wouldn't want to go out on top. Like Madonna. I adore her...and she smashed this latest album and cleaned the award shows....but how many more can she pull out and not look ridiculous? Many remember you by the last thing you did.
ReplyDeleteI remember when Beverly Sills retired from performing and was asked why, and she said: "I'd rather people say, 'Where did she go?' and not 'Is she still here?'"
DeleteNavarro is my favorite Republican too. If more of the GOP were like her, we would certainly be living in a different world. I often think of Hilary Clinton’s loss. If we didn’t have the Electoral College, she would have won, and the last 10 years would have been so different.
ReplyDeleteYup - at 77 Jessica Lange admits that her time as an actress is just about up. Most working people retire before they hit 70 years of age... but over at The White House, that fat orange thing is 80. I don't want to appear ageist but 80 is far too old to President of the USA. I felt the same about Joe Biden.
