Hillary Clinton Blasts Trump in New Essay: ‘Our Democracy Is in Crisis’ By CHRISTINA CARON 3 hrs ago © Doug Mills/The New York Times Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump at a presidential debate in Missouri in 2016. In a new essay, Mrs. Clinton compares the president to a tyrant. With the midterms fast approaching, Hillary Clinton has written a scathing critique of President Trump that accused him of disregarding the law and weakening the social fabric of the country, imploring voters to “do everything we can to fight back” and “mobilize massive turnout” in November. When Mr. Trump prevailed over Mrs. Clinton in the 2016 election, she had told her supporters that they owed him “an open mind and the chance to lead,” she recalled in the essay, which was posted by The Atlantic on Sunday. “I hoped that my fears for our future were overblown,” she wrote. “They were not.” “And right now, our democracy is in crisis,” she added, saying she does not use the word “crisis” lightly. The essay was adapted from the new afterword in the paperback edition of her 2017 memoir, “What Happened,” which is being released on Tuesday. In the piece, she listed “despicable things” inflicted by the president “and his cronies” and ticked off five “main fronts” to what she calls the “assault on our democracy.” Comparing Mr. Trump to a tyrant, Mrs. Clinton said he considered himself above the law. She cited the investigation led by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, to examine links between the Trump campaign and Russian officials, pointing to an article in The New York Times that said Mr. Trump told White House officials that he needed Attorney General Jeff Sessions to protect him, and had asked the White House’s top lawyer to stop Mr. Sessions from recusing himself in the Justice Department’s investigation. Mrs. Clinton also expressed concern over the legitimacy of the country’s elections, saying it was “in doubt.” She pointed to “Russia’s ongoing interference and Trump’s complete unwillingness to stop it or protect us,” as well as voter suppression and gerrymandering efforts. She then referred to large tallies of Mr. Trump’s “false or misleading statements,” without going so far as to explicitly call him a liar, and denounced “Trump’s breathtaking corruption.” The president “makes no pretense of prioritizing the public good above his own personal or political interests,” Mrs. Clinton wrote. “He doesn’t seem to understand that public servants are supposed to serve the public, not the other way around.” Finally, she took aim at Mr. Trump’s divisive words. He “doesn’t even try to pretend he’s a president for all Americans,” she wrote. “It’s hard to ignore the racial subtext of virtually everything Trump says. Often, it’s not even subtext.” Representatives from the White House did not immediately respond on Monday to a request for comment. On Monday, Mrs. Clinton posted a link to the essay on Twitter, adding that “we should all be focused, determined and, yes, optimistic as we work to save our country.” In addition to her blistering critiques, Mrs. Clinton’s essay also listed ways to help “save our democracy,” such as voting during the midterms, engaging in “serious housecleaning” in Washington and pursuing election reform, which included a call to abolish the Electoral College. Democrats have mobilized in advance of the November midterm elections, drawing on help from former President Barack Obama, who had largely stayed out of the fray after leaving office. In recent weeks, however, Mr. Obama has also spoken out against Mr. Trump, describing the president and his administration as a “threat to our democracy” during a speech at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on Sept. 7. During the speech, Mr. Obama condemned Mr. Trump’s policies on climate change, taxes, health care and regulations, and also blamed him for polarizing the nation. Mr. Obama said he decided to speak out because “the stakes really are higher” than before. Mr. Trump, who had not commented on Mrs. Clinton’s essay as of Monday morning, had seemed to take Mr. Obama’s words in stride. “I’m sorry, I watched it, but I fell asleep,” he said at the time. “I found he’s very good, very good for sleeping.” He also speculated that Mr. Obama’s criticism might further motivate his base. “Now if that doesn’t get you out to vote for the midterms, nothing will,” he said. Poster Comment: It's easy for you to say this, Hildabeast. For if you were in the Oval Office now many more of our liberties would be curtailed, and Obummer's unlawful Executive Orders would not have been rescinded. I thank God each and every day that Trump is POTUS.

LOL! “I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
That old spirit-cooker is beyond tone deaf.
That's rich,coming from a Clinton. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Like that fucking goddamned bitch didn't have a hard-on to crucify Traditional Americans if she had become POTUS? Fuck that old hag, she needs to die yesterday for the good of the nation. “With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." That's rich,coming from a Clinton. ROTFLOL! "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Translation from Old Army Field Manual: "Democracy" is Communism. Thank God if it is in crisis. Hopefully they are going down. My computer froze right after I posted to you last night [this morning?], but I had started playing a video about those two and Donald Trump. I was exhausted, but listened to the whole thing before shutting off the internet. Hopefully, they are going down and taking a whole lot of criminals with them: I wanted to post this last night. I thought you might, but here it is: Title: Who really owns the encryption keys to the Internet? (Video) freedom4um.com/cgi-bin/readart.cgi? ArtNum=219470&Disp=1#C1 They may be sounding like cornered rats. One of the people on the video said the situation brought to mind a verse in Genesis 50, about what Joseph said to his brothers who sold him into slavery, You thought to do evil to me, but God wrought it to do good. I wouldn't have thought of that one. What came to my mind was Let them be caught in the net they set for me. just now looked it up. here are some variations on the theme: "...as long as there..remain active enemies of the Christian church, we may hope to become Master of the World...the future Jewish King will never reign in the world before Christianity is overthrown - B'nai B'rith speech http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/luther.htm / http://bible.cc/psalms/83-4.htm
Be sure to read the Bible commentaries! They are short. Here's Matthew Henry's: Matthew Henry Commentary 141:5-10 We should be ready to welcome the rebuke of our heavenly Father, and also the reproof of our brethren. It shall not break my head, if it may but help to break my heart: we must show that we take it kindly. Those who slighted the word of God before, will be glad of it when in affliction, for that opens the ear to instruction. When the world is bitter, the word is sweet. Let us lift our prayer unto God. Let us entreat him to rescue us from the snares of Satan, and of all the workers of iniquity. In language like this psalm, O Lord, would we entreat that our poor prayers should set forth our only hope, our only dependence on thee. Grant us thy grace, that we may be prepared for this employment, being clothed with thy righteousness, and having all the gifts of thy Spirit planted in our hearts. Psalm 141:10 Commentaries biblehub.com/psalms/141- 10.htm Job 5:13 Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers (13) He taketh the wise.--St. Paul quotes the former half of this verse in his warning to the Corinthians (1Corinthians 3:19): "The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness." The word rendered "froward" means crooked, perverse, or tortuous. The name Naphtali is derived from the same root (Genesis 30:8). Pulpit Commentary Verse 13. - He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. Men are, as Shakespeare says, "hoist with their own petard." They "fall into their own nets together" (Psalm 141:11), while the godly, their intended prey, "escape them." And this is God's doing - it is his providence which brings it to pass. And the counsel of the froward is carried headlong; or, "put to confusion" (Lee). Dear Jesus, let it be so.
