She is a better human being then you. At most she would call you deplorable, not sub human.

When we start saying nonsense where we dehumanize those we do not like, it brings out the worst and most vile in us.

Everyone should care that Hillary benefitted from a different standard than the rest of us can expect.
It shows that the USA is little better than some corrupt developing country.

He certainly IS an eletist. He can lie and swindle with the best of them, he proves that more and more every day.

That's an interesting point.

The usual term of "elitist" would be directed in a derogatory way at someone like John Kerry - who seems to be an educated, cultured guy.

But Trump is the true elitist, in a derogatory way - uncultured, unrestrained, ostentatious in the crudest possible way (like all the gilt in his home), uncaring about everyone he tramples on.

By the way, how about treating Trump like Hillary in other ways? For instance, there were about 20 Benghazi hearings? Shall we have 20 hearings on every single dubious action of Trump's?

How do you know that, that is the worst she would say? If she was willing to say that publicly one can only imagine what she says in private or anonymously. Hillary isn't exactly known for a civil tongue when she is even a little annoyed.
I agree with the rest of your post.

Many said the same about the Obama cult. No matter how big the lie, the mistake, the blatant arrogance, his groupies made excuses.

That said I also look forward to when Trump is out of office. With the possible exception of Hillary or Maxine Waters, Trump is the most annoying human alive.
He is also about the only one I know that can give Sheila Jackson Lee a run for her money when it comes to spewing stupidity.

That may all be true, but there is only one guy that advocates on behalf of working Americans and that guy it Trump.

The anti-Trumpers, be they Democrats or Republicans, are corporate whores.

If Trump gets us into a war of choice, topples a stable government in the mid-east, opens the door for extremists, arms those extremists, refuses to provide the security asked for by the ambassador, sends no help when the inevitable attack takes place and organizes a campaign of deception to cover for his gross negligence, then Trump should be subject to Congressional oversight, as Hillary was.

Give all staff immunity.

Allow all evidence, subpoenaed or otherwise, to be destroyed.

I have to thank Hillary, though, because I was just going to throw away my old cell phone but now I know to smash it with a hammer.
Thanks for the correction! i was rushed and had to go to work when I originally posted this thread.

One thing is clear, the President is not subject to a subpoena by Mueller and his merry band of Democrap fanatics attempting to depose the President.
