Nobody cares about HRC and her campaign, including HRC (Not showing up when she lost). I am sick of both Lefties and Righties talking about her, shes old irrelevant news.
Stupid wing-nuts thinking the person who gets the most votes should win the election.
Left wing nuts griping they lost elections where the numbers would suggest they won and had elections stolen from them.
Right wing nuts chanting a person who is not even in politics should be locked-up because…why?
Seems different in character to me. The first one is highlighting a flawed system. The second one is freaking out over some woman they have been freaking out over for decades and continue to long after she is retired.
Maybe I’m missing something.
Maybe you had plenty of contempt for those people during the campaign, and you sneered at that time about how they were calling for her to be locked up. Or maybe you thought they had a valid point back then, and didn’t think they were nuts.
But, either way, what’s the difference now? If they were right back then, and she should’ve been locked up, then it seems like it would still make just as much sense today to think, Hey, I Still Think She Should Be Locked Up — and if they were wrong back then, then aren’t they merely equally wrong at present?
Yes, they are equally wrong as they were back then, and they are very proud of that.
But then why should it be odd that they’re still calling for her to be locked up?
If, back then, they genuinely thought she should be locked up — and, as you say, they were wrong — then it makes perfect sense to me that they’d still think, at present, that she should be locked up; in which case, I’m apparently missing the whole point of this thread, since keeping on keeping on seems unremarkable.
Nope. Because they now have a president who has done all the things they accused her of doing, but they do not want him to be locked up. So it clearly was not about wanting her locked up for doing something they thought was wrong.
And thus the only reason to demand that is as a political tactic. And, as a political tactic, the time’s up. She’s no longer around.
Furthermore, they have every reason to realize that she’s not going to be locked up. Even for liberals who thought that Bush or Cheney should be locked up for war crimes, they stopped advocating for it when it became clear that Obama wasn’t going to do anything about it.
So even if they somehow actually legitimately think Trump’s problems are all fake news and still fundamentally think what Clinton actually did requires her to be locked up, they still are being stupid, because Trump is clearly not going to lock her up.
Not odd, just still stupid.
The point is that Trump is now President. The Attorney General is a Republican. There are Republican majorities in the House and the Senate. A majority of the Supreme Court are Republican appointees.
So if Hillary Clinton committed some crime and deserved to be locked up, why isn’t she being investigated and convicted and imprisoned? Why aren’t people yelling at Trump to get do his job and get this dangerous criminal off the streets?
…they are, aren’t they? They, uh, are yelling to Lock Her Up. I mean, they could start chanting “Lock Her Up, We Really Mean It” — but what would that add?
But Trump is still kind of leading those chants. It’s really like he doesn’t realize that he can direct the DOJ to investigate her, and it doesn’t even need a special prosecutor.
The paragraph that you omitted from Little Nemo’s post answers that question.
I don’t see that it does. I mean, yes, as Folacin says, that raises the question of why Trump says it instead of doing it; but it doesn’t tell me why the crowd of folks calling for her to be locked up would do anything other than call for her to be locked up.
What the heck should they chant, if they think she should be locked up?
They are just a lynch mob. How many investigations have the Clintons (Bill and Hillary) been involved in?
- Whitewater
- Travelgate
- Vince Foster
- Paula Jones/Monica Lewinsky (with Whitewater investigation ran over 4 years and cost nearly $40 million)
- Filegate
- Benghazi (there were 7 separate probes into this)
- Clinton Foundation
- Private email server
What did republicans get for all this? Bill lying under oath about a blow job.
Maybe give it a rest already.
Like I said, it’s not that they are stupider, it’s that they are just as stupid as they were when they were chanting this in the first place.
But, as far as why they are stupider for continuing the chant, the person who led them in the chant is the person who could do something about it, and he chooses not to.
They don’t realize that they were played by a charliatin who says things to get approval and attention, but has no intention of following through.
Something a bit more timely?
This sums it up:
Yup, better than 25 years of non-stop investigations into the Clintons got Bill for a blowjob and nothing on Hillary.
It’s a basic principle of running a con. You find a sucker and convince him that the two of you are going to cheat somebody else out of some money. The sucker is so eager to help you screw somebody else he never sees that you’re planning on screwing him.
If not that, it’s the bier.
