Message   BOB ACKLEY    ALL   US elections   July 5, 2019
 11:44 AM *  

I find it disturbing that so many people in this country refuse to 
accept the fact that corrupt, power obsessed Hillary Clinton, the 
Savior of the Whole Human Race according to some of them, LOST the 
election in 2016 (I thought she had a lock on it, and apparently
so did she and most of her supporters).  The level of hatred displayed 
by these people is unprecedented, and I've been watching the political 
class in this country for over half a century.  I have to say that I 
did not vote for Donald Trump and I think that basically he's the south 
end of a northbound horse, but I don't hate him or people who support 
him; as a side note I haven't thought much of any of the presidents 
since Truman, who in my opinion was probably the best president of the 
last century.

Trump's opponents are claiming - so far without a shred of evidence 
despite more than two years of looking - that Trump colluded with the 
Russians who were "meddling" with the election.  Now that the 
Corruptocrats own the house of representatives they've set up
congressional committees to destroy Donald Trump - not just nullify the 
results of the 2016 election, but actually destroy him and anybody in 
his administration they don't like.  As a side note, I doubt that any 
of those sanctimonious Corruptocrat officials so intent on destroying 
Donald Trump could withstand the torrent of political "investigations" 
being brought against Trump and members of his administration.

I don't see why "meddling" with elections in this country is such a bad 
thing anyway; the elections have been rigged for probably a century, 
and for the past couple of decades anybody who has run for national 
office has been, in my opinion, morally and ethically unfit to hold 
it.  Note that I did not distinguish between Corruptocrats and 
Republicrooks.

Only about 1/4 of those eligible to vote in this country actually 
bother to do so - half of those eligible to vote don't bother to 
register, and of the half that does register, half don't bother to 
follow through and vote.  Undoubtedly this is because the result of
any election is foregone, it will be won by a corrupt, venal crook 
whichever party he or she belongs to; in this country the term "corrupt 
politician" is redundant.  By not voting at all, 3/4 of the eligible 
citizens are, in effect, voting for "none of these candidates," so it 
really doesn't matter who is "meddling" in the election.

As a matter of historical note, other countries have been "meddling" in 
this country's elections and government for decades (the US Communist 
Party, which was and presumably still is wholly owned and operated by 
Moscow, actually ran candidates in US elections - usually 
unsuccessfully - for decades), it's not a new phenomenon so I fail to 
see why it's such a big deal now.  I should also point out that the US 
has been "meddling" in other countries' elections for decades too, and 
turnabout is fair play
