What does one do with useful grifters who’ve lost their utility? The Democrats Frankenize them. It’s like ostracizing without the pomp and ceremony. If you’re unfamiliar with the process, you can watch it play out on the Clintons over the next few months.
Frankenizing became a thing during the good ol’ days of “me too.” It was an era of national insanity, in which every Hollywood starlet wannabe with two X chromosomes insisted she was a victim of toxic masculinity after taking her clothes off to land a part. The Dems demanded that we believe every woman’s tale of harassment, regardless of how improbable.
Were some of the claims true? Undoubtedly. But when the Dems marched Christine Blasey Ford into a Senate confirmation hearing to spin a tall tale about Brett Kavanaugh, most of us figured out that “me too” was more about the narrative than the truth.
That wasn’t stopping the Dems from trying to tag Donald Trump as a sexual predator for observing something that has been true for eons. The Washington Post leaked that he had told an Access Hollywood host that some women prefer men of means (i.e., they’ll put out for money). The Dems seemed to think The Donald stating the obvious would end his presidential career — if they could redefine indelicate comments as a uniquely Republican vice.
But Saturday Night Live alumnus and Senate court jester from Minnesota Al Franken blew up their narrative. He decided to test the Trumpism but, to his chagrin, learned that “some women” is not “all women.”
When America found out that Franken was handsier with other men’s wives than gropey Joe was with six-year-old girls, it made it exceedingly hard to keep the “sexual deviant” spotlight on The Donald.

Here we are 30 years later and he (AND Hillary) BOTH still have coats of Teflon intact.
I called this 10 years ago.
When Trump beat Hillary, her major donors gave up on the Clintons.
Hillary and Bill were the only ones who didn’t realize it.
Now the Base is fully done with them.
That’s what she was hoping was in store for Nixon.
As the Clinton impeachment talk was starting, more than one FReeper commented he was finished one way or another and “he is just circling the toilet bowl, about to go down.”
Sad that he then ended his 2nd term with the highest recorded poll approval of any President at that point.
66% to 67% approval. With 73% of Americans endorsing his economic direction.
What does that mean "believe in Santa"? 🎅 Is someone keeping something from me?
After donating $1,000 to Bill Clinton's presidential election campaign in 1991, Epstein donated $10,000 to the White House Historical Association in 1993 and, accompanied by Maxwell, attended a donors' reception hosted by President Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton.[1] Around the same period, visitor logs indicate Epstein paid several visits to the White House to meet with Mark Middleton, a Clinton aide and assistant to the White House chief of staff, in 1993–1995. While Clinton was president, Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times between 1993 and 1995.
By 1995, Epstein was circulating in Clinton's social orbit: that year, he and Maxwell attended a small fundraising dinner at the Palm Beach home of billionaire Ron Perelman, which Clinton also attended. In April 1995, businesswoman Lynn Forester (later Lynn Forester de Rothschild), a Clinton supporter, wrote a personal letter to the President mentioning that she had used her "fifteen seconds of access" to discuss "Jeffrey Epstein and currency stabilization" with him, suggesting Clinton was acquainted with Epstein's financial acumen. Clinton's later schedules and archives confirm that Epstein and Maxwell were received as part of at least one White House donor event in 1993, though the exact nature of their conversations with Clinton remains unclear.
2001–2003: post-presidency relationship and flights Clinton left office in January 2001 and soon embarked on humanitarian and philanthropic initiatives via the Clinton Foundation. During this post-presidential period, his association with Epstein continued in the context of charity travel and social meetings. Epstein was an active supporter of the Clinton Foundation, even lending his Boeing 727 private jet for Clinton's international trips.
In 2002 and 2003, Clinton took multiple flights on Epstein's plane, commonly known by the nickname "Lolita Express", as part of foundation-related tours to promote global health and economic development. Flight log records later indicated Clinton's name on at least 17 legs of Epstein's flights in that timeframe. On one high-profile trip in 2002, Clinton flew aboard Epstein's jet to Africa along with actors Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker to visit HIV/AIDS project sites. Clinton's spokesman would later state that these comprised four distinct trips on Epstein's aircraft – one to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa – and that Clinton was accompanied by staff, foundation supporters, and Secret Service agents on all legs of those journeys.
Around the same time period, Clinton also visited Epstein's New York apartment and office in 2002, each time with his aide and security detail present.
Clinton and Epstein appeared to be on friendly terms; a photo from 2002 shows them together during a stop in Brunei, and in an interview that year Clinton praised Epstein as a "highly successful financier" and "a committed philanthropist". Epstein's New York residence, according to one visitor, contained a signed photograph of Clinton. Epstein possessed an oil painting of Clinton in a blue dress and heels. According to one of his lawyers, Epstein was "part of the original group" that conceived the Clinton Global Initiative, a flagship program of Clinton's "philanthropic" work. -----snip----
There's always the ole, "I don't recall" defense.
Does the stupid writer actually use the released Epstein files to expose something new about the Clintons??? No. So does he improve any case against the Clintons in any way? No.
His “opinion” piece reads like a bunch of Conservatives gabbing but not really saying much at all.
American Thinker has the lowest class of Conservative writers.
Ha ha Bombshell, walls are closing in.
No one is going to SWAT them like they did to Trump and a half dozen others. No frozen accounts.
Remember selling Uranium One to Russia?
Will the Haitian’s show? The raped women in the balcony?
The old coke dealers in Arkansas?
Benghazi? Anything about going after Trump? Did Hillary even return the WH silverware?
I was hoping for at least “Club Fed.”
I think that’s a brilliant tactic.
EVERYTIME a question is asked they will respond “Sir, on advice of counsel, I invoke may Constitutional privilege under the Fifth Amendment.”
KEEP ASKING over and over and over again. The very second they screw up and say ONE word different or more they lose 5th amendment protection.
Who can last longer GOPe or Clintoons??
Sadly I may already know the answer
The GOP could host an ashtray throw in her honor.
What I believe the author is referring to is the visual and verbal lambasting Hillary received recently in Munich, Germany.
There was a thread earlier today regarding it.
The Deputy PM of the Czech republic crushed her on stage in front of a group of journalists. The fact that she would even agree to be onstage and be one upped by some nobody shows just how far HERSELF has fallen.
Plus the fact that this guy actually had the audacity to question Madam Secretary in public shows that people are no longer afraid of the Clintons.
They have lost their gravitas.
They have gotten long in the tooth.
Put a fork in them, they are done.
The Grim Reaper will get the Clintons before any court.
Here is the link to the previous NY Post article and thread.

This guy would never have challenged HERSELF like this a few years ago.
He certainly signed on to enough of what the Republicans wanted. (I think the term used to describe his approach was "triangulation".)
Never mind that Ralph Nader beat the spread Al Gore lost by Florida because of this, Clinton was able to be a Republican just enough to help him leave office on a positive note.
I have images of men in grey suits and turtles running through my head.
