Why did Hillary Clinton join Jill Stein, the Green Party’s oddball presidential nominee, in asking for a recount of the votes in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania when everyone knows that such a recount won’t change the outcome of the 2016 election?
Part of the answer is that people close to Hillary—Huma Abedin, Chelsea Clinton, and Sidney Blumenthal—encouraged her to ask for a recount as a way of lifting her spirits.
“She is weepy, looks ten years older and is very whiny,” said one of Hillary’s closest friends. “She has been drinking wine pretty heavily, much more than usual. She mopes around all day, swimming in a sea of recriminations and complaining that her campaign managers were ‘incompetent,’ Bill and Chelsea ‘didn’t work hard enough,’ FBI Director Comey was ‘in league with Trump.’”
In addition, President Obama convinced Hillary that it was in the best interest of the Democratic Party if the Clinton legal team got involved with the recount and didn’t leave it to Jill Stein.
“The president felt that the progressives were acting stunned and helpless and had to rise out of their stupor and show that they weren’t going to take their defeat lying down,” said the source. “Contesting the results of the election was the best and fastest way to stir the morale and fighting spirit of the demoralized party.
“Obama felt that a recount would plant a seed with the base that the election was somehow dishonest,” the source continued. “He wanted to raise serious questions about the legitimacy of the Trump presidency.”
And what did Bill Clinton—the man Charlie Rose called “the best political animal that’s ever been in American politics”—think of all this?
Said a close Clinton adviser: “Bill thinks the recount is going to backfire as a strategy because there are probably no more than a handful of questionable ballots and they could actually wind up adding to Trump’s numbers and validate rather than invalidate his election.”
Now I am going to be singing Ozzy’s “Suicide Solution” all day.
Wine is fine but whiskey’s quicker
Suicide is slow with liquor
Take a bottle and drown your sorrows
Then it floods away tomorrows
Away tomorrows
Evil thoughts and evil doings
Cold, alone you hang in ruins
Thought that you’d escape the reaper
You can’t escape the master keeper
‘Cause you feel life’s unreal, and you’re living a lie
Such a shame who’s to blame and you’re wondering why
Then you ask from your cask is there life after birth
What you sow can mean hell on this earth
Hell on this earth
Now you live inside a bottle
The reaper’s traveling at full throttle
It’s catching you but you don’t see
The reaper is you and the reaper is me
Breaking laws, knocking doors
But there’s no one at home
Made your bed, rest your head
But you lie there and moan
Where to hide, suicide is the only way out
Don’t you know what it’s really about

Ok freepers, help me out....what is this “strawberry” thing about?
//My attitude changed completely the first time I held my daughter, nearly 30 years ago//
My MIL was similar. Ultrasounds were not common when her kids were born and MrR and I were in our 40s when we had our daughter last year (high risk pregnancy). MIL was staunchly pro-abortion until I got pregnant and she saw the ultrasound. Not just the pics but I took her to an appt and she saw her only grandchild moving, ‘eating’, practice breathing and sucking her thumb and all of a sudden has become fiercely pro life. If we could force abortion doctors to show women ultrasounds there would be a lot fewer abortions.
For Strawberries, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Caine_Mutiny_(film)

The Caine Mutiny, 1954, Bogey played the crazy captain who was so sure someone was sneaking strawberries out of the galley, he kept counting them.
Anyway, Hellery would rather have a bottle in front of her than a frontal lobotomy.
Oh, and that presidential library, which juts out over a pond, sort of symbolizes an erection over a bowl. I wonder if that was intentional.
Well... that’s kinda what I said there...
Great movie, Fred MacMurray’s character was a real weasel, but was outed in the final scene.
“Whatever else Bill may be, he always was a lot smarter than Hillary, especially when it comes to politics.”
A healthy fungus is smarter than the “world’s smartest woman”.
Aside from the fact that he was Slick Willy Bill wasn’t so bad I suppose. When you get right down to it the only really BAD thing about him was that he was who he was, yeah, I’ll go along with that.
“What kind of President mopes, drinks and has a month-long pity party every time they DON’T get THEIR way???”
The kind that would have been called President Hillary Rodham Clinton had she managed to pull off the scam she had planned for so long. Do you really not believe she is just that sorry an excuse for a human being? I have no problem believing she is that rotten and worse.
“She is weepy, looks ten years older and is very whiny,” said one of Hillary’s closest friends. “She has been drinking wine pretty heavily, much more than usual. She mopes around all day, swimming in a sea of recriminations and complaining that her campaign managers were ‘incompetent,’ Bill and Chelsea ‘didn’t work hard enough,’ FBI Director Comey was ‘in league with Trump.’”

The same clown who ridiculed Trump for saying the election was rigged against him now would love to pretend that it was rigged to elect Trump.
Oh, no, could it be that she is wasting away in Margaritaville? I don’t care as long as she wastes away somewhere.
Actually I heard someone say to a man just this morning, “I don’t know why anyone would want a woman president.” You may have guessed the rest already, the person who said it was a woman. Between Obama and Hillary I think we can look forward to a world without either president Michelle or president Chelsea. Then again I could be wrong, may God forgive me for even thinking such a thing.
“DJT was the ONLY Republican running who had a snowball’s chance in hell of beating her and beat her he did!”
And even after Trump beat all the other contenders for the nomination many still insisted that the Donald was the only one who COULD NOT beat Hillary! I confess that I was not a big supporter of Trump when he first announced but I have learned a lot since then.
Actually Bill was not a Clinton at birth, he got the name from his STEPfather, Roger “Dude” Clinton.
I agree. He also I think wanted to be liked more than he wanted to push an agenda. That’s why he was willing to triangulate and get bipartisan things passed.
I think he is by far the smartest Clinton, and probably the best retail politician the Democrats have had. I think he’s better than Obama in that regard.
