Trump makes case against Hillary
TRUMP: the COMING LANDSLIDE. ~Ancient Prophecy Documentary of Donald Trump / 2016)
Just finished watching a very real Trump trounce Mrs. Clinton. I wish that I had been standing in his shoes. He was far too kind to her during the first debate, letting her get away with murder and so many spurious assertions (shaky facts and figures) clichés, platitudes and palliatives.
This election season could be compounded by more damaging wikileaks, more terrorist attacks and other brutalities inside and outside of the United States and more of the unexpected and the "unseen". Of course, everybody knows that if Trump doesn't win, then there's gong to be plenty of all kinds of trouble. We shouldn't have too long to wait since the elections are only 28 days away…
Just as in 2008 when the US got its first Black president in the person of Brother Barack Obama, young, handsome, intelligent , charismatic with oratorical skills and a vision, so too at some future point, there's going to be a woman president – a nice, beautiful, younger, candidate, not previously married to Bill Clinton, one who has not previously deleted top classified e-mails to erase the evidence against herself etc. etc. etc.
Two additional questions : Who do you think is better Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama? What does she want to do at home and abroad, that Brother Obama has failed to do - such as gun violence against Black people ?
It was real theatre, unlike the start of the last debate, this time they didn't even shake hands - so much bad blood between them, the big bad burly wolf larger than the statutes made of him, like a colossus, like incredible hulk, like Goliath, like Trump Towers walking around on stage dwarfing little old lady Hillary, to be precise, head and shoulders, towering over little Hillary (who was mostly sitting down (low energy) legs together, on the stool, heavily made up to conceal all her wrinkles, looking very neat, very prim and proper in her middle aged suit – waiting for her turn to speak – and speak she did, prancing around putting on airs (sense of entitlement because her name is Mrs. Hillary Clinton) grinning continually like a Cheshire cat (what is she always smiling so sweetly about? What's there to be smiling about, when she should be looking as serious as Bette Davis?) and she's now laying claim to some of Brother Obama and John Kerry's achievements as her own – now claiming that she she was part of the planning committee that took out Osama bin Ladin ( which we are to assume she was -maybe chief strategist) - and of course Muammar Gaddafi (some of her Muslim fans won't like that either) and even more strongly, she is claiming to be the architect of the peace deal with Iran – "without firing a shot" - maybe she would have much preferred if the Nobel Prize for Peace had been awarded jointly to her and Barack Obama
If the UK had voted against Brexit, she would have probably claimed that it was due to her & Obama threatening the United Kingdom that they would find themselves "at the back of the queue", if they vote Brexit - as if they don't know what I know, that Brits don't like non-Brits telling them what to do or how high to jump – and honestly, in my view, Hillary Clinton is not in the same class as the following : Margaret Thatcher, Therese May, Golda Meir, Indira Gandhi, Sirimavo Bandaranaike, is not a patch on Angela Merkel the angel, or Bush baby Condoleezza Rice, or Madeleine Albright, or Gro Harlem Brundtland or our own Margot Wallström ( to name just a few) or my favourites, Mary Robinson and Mary McAleese and I'm 100% sure that Brother Obama will agree with me that Hillary Clinton lacks the integrity of someone like Aung San Suu Kyi
At one moment during the debate (I should give you the exact minute) I thought that Trump was going to make a surprise move right there in front of moderators Anderson Cooper, Martha Raddatz, the town hall audience, TV viewers in the US and around the globe, grab her by the somewhere (one of his favourite hiding places) and shake some compliance out of her, but it didn't happen and what also should not happen is Mrs Clinton becoming the next president of the United States - in which case we will see the US going down the drain (time will tell), more Benghazis , more humanitarian disasters in Syria and at this moment half a paragraph from Ishmael Reed's 2008 Counterpunch essay"Ma and Pa Clinton Flog Uppity Black Man , comes to mind, the half paragraph:
" Clinton was able to seduce black audiences, who ignored some of his actions that were unfriendly, even hostile to blacks. His interrupting his campaign to get a mentally disabled black man, Ricky Ray Rector executed. (Did Mrs. Clinton tear up about this act?) His humiliation of Jesse Jackson. His humiliation of Jocelyn Elders and Lani Gunier. The welfare reform bill that has left thousands of women black, white, yellow and brown destitute, prompting Robert Scheer to write in the San Francisco Chronicle, "To his everlasting shame as president, Clinton supported and signed welfare legislation that shredded the federal safety net for the poor from which he personally had benefited." (Has Ms. Clinton shed a tear for these women, or did she oppose her husband's endorsement of this legislation?) His administration saw a high rate of black incarceration as a result of Draconian drug laws that occurred during his regime. He advocated trade agreements that sent thousands of jobs overseas. (Did Mrs. Clinton, with misty eyes, beg him to assess how such trade deals would effect the livelihood of thousands of families, black, white, brown, red and yellow?) He refused to intervene to rescue thousands of Rwandans from genocide. (Did Mrs. Clinton tearfully beseech her husband to intervene on behalf of her African sisters ?"
What does Hillary know about Syria other than what Obama and the generals tell her? Interestingly enough, when Bush & Blair invaded Iraq without any legal cover from the UN – and their continued adventures in Afghanistan to a tune of six trillion dollars - we didn't hear so many protestations from Russia – not half as much as we have been hearing from the likes of Hillary, when Mr. Putin wants to help his pal Assad (the lion) in his country Syria...
N.B. Russia is currently president of the Security Council...
