“But convicting Hillary...that’s dangerous politically.”
I believe you are right on that, but I keep hoping that there will be SO much stuff on her lackeys, that even the press and Dim voters will demand to see her swing.
You know, even hardened criminals in prison will beat the crap out of a child molester - NOT saying that’s what she did, just saying that even the worst folks have a line they won’t tolerate others crossing.
There was a great posting a few days ago, on an article titled "A church-going society is a healthier one." In an awesome follow-up comment by dfwgator, our FRiend recounted a Philadelphia pastor's theory of life if Satan ran the City, that:
..all of the bars would be closed, pornography banished, and pristine streets would be filled with tidy pedestrians who smiled at each other. There would be no swearing. The children would say "Yes, sir" and "No, ma'am," and the churches would be full every Sunday...where Christ was not preached.”
I followed dfwgator's link to an underlying article, and read this equally-awesome comment...while it covers successful autist Temple Grandin's insight into the importance of keeping cattle stress-free (i.e., removing "novelty") prior to processing (the stress apparently releases chemicals that tarnish the meat), the awesomeness comes at the end:
“...the insight that novelty distresses cows. A slaughterhouse, then, in order to keep the cattle relaxed, should remove anything from the sight of the animals that isn’t completely familiar. The real problem is novelty… Workers shouldn’t yell at the cows, she said, and they should never ever use cattle prods…If you just keep the cows contented and comfortable, they’ll go wherever they’re led……” to their slaughter.
Our society, our culture, has become numbed...the "novelty" of Nixon's errors are passe. The "novelty" of Clinton suborning perjury is ho-hum. The weaponization of the IRS...c'mon, every Administration is crooked; who cares? And off to slaughter we go...
This is why I was saying, that convicting Hillary for things that most of us normal people still consider crimes, but which our numbed fellow citizens no longer consider "novelty", presents a tough political decision.
But crimes against children....THAT "novelty" remains one of the few remaining things that can agitate the entire civilized world, regardless of party, race, creed, or national origin. You need to look no further than Judge Moore - yes, his candidacy had other issues and problems - the whiff of pederasty made lots of people run away.
If Hillary really is mixed up in that kind of business, and Trump and Sessions have uncovered all sorts of evidence, then that "novelty" must be revealed and pursued.
This is why I joined FR...for healthy discourse and to up my own game. Thanks for listening.
