Hypocrisy

When the 3—count them 3 stories came out about Bill Clinton’s 3 hour phone call with Trump 12 days before the Donald threw his hat in the ring to become a GOP nominee, it should have been evident that things weren’t kosher. It slipped under the radar of those who only heard “I’m going to build the biggest and best wall on the southern border, and Mexico is going to pay for it.”

Those who did read it or heard about it had two different reactions:

1: Well, it’s just business,

2: Or, he’s known the Clinton’s for a long time.

It should have been a clue. Those who lived through the 1992 elections already had a heads-up and still some ignored the obvious. Until Trump came along with all his promises, there was no chance for Hillary Clinton to win this election. Any of the other candidates, with a couple of exceptions, would have beaten Hillary.

"But, but their first debate was rigged." If you want to go there, then let’s go there. The Republican primary debates were rigged to eliminate the other candidates. Why? Because Fox News had a deep and abiding love affair with the Clinton’s way back when.

The Clinton’s run a political machine. They always have and always will. Trump is part of that machine. He and the Clinton’s have run in the same herd for 30 years. Why didn’t Donald attack Hillary with her scandals in the first debate? If you’re going with “Well there’s two more debates. He’s just getting warmed up”, remember that early voting has already started and the number of undecideds could decide this election year. The point spread between Clinton and Trump isn’t that great.

Trump cannot afford to push Clinton in a face to face debate, because she can give as good as she gets, and he knows it. After all, they’ve been close friends and associates for 30 years. Their daughters, Ivanka and Chelsea, are very good friends. So much so, that there have been a few articles written about the distress caused the girls because of this election. Tigers don’t change their stripes and neither do liberals.

Well, Hillary’s a murderer, you say. Yea and any man who has been hobnobbing with the NY mob for most of his adult life has left a few bodies in his wake, as well. In fact, there is an article about “The Whale that Almost Sank Trump.” It isn’t in reference to an actual whale, but to a gambler. After he and Trump had their falling out, the whale was murdered 4 months later. Granted, the murder was linked to Russian mobsters. The same mobsters that Trump has recently been linked to.

Oh, but that’s business, right? New Yorker’s swear you cannot get anything done unless you pay off politicians. Is it possible that they know that and think it’s not a big deal?

Recently, it has become apparent that hypocrisy is required in-order to support Trump. Trump stands and admits that he pays no taxes, and “Oh isn’t he brilliant”? The same people who have no trouble with Trump’s tax dodging have had a fit over Al Sharpton’s exploits into tax evasion.

Miss Universe posed nude. Okay, and? So has Melania Trump. Top that off with the hateful and horrid names we have all called Obama’s mother for having done the same. Yet, somehow it’s alright for Melania and now, with her photos having been all over the internet for over a year, she’s suing over the same photos being released nationally.

Another recent development are the pay to pray preachers singing the praises of a man who will not repent. They’re just certain he will praise God. He’s 70 years old and has lived by his code or lack of ethics his whole life; do you really think he will change once he has the power of the presidency behind him? Yea, yea, we all know that Clinton claims the Bible has been her guide. Well, are you voting for Hillary? I’m not, but more important, I’m not condoning or making excuses for what she does, either.

Then there’s Hillary’s gaining freedom for the rapist in the 1975 trial. Yes, she did horrid things to that little girl. Sadly, she also did her job. Like it or not, even the guilty are required to have the best defense possible, under the law. Rather like Trump and his philandering and friendship with Epstein, who is a convicted child molester and is named as co-defendant by the woman alleging that Donald raped her when she was 13.

Today, there were comments about Miss Universe’ history, and how she drove the getaway car in-which a murder was committed. So, we can dredge up her history, Hillary’s history, Al Sharpton’s present and past tax evasion, Obamas mother’s nude photos, but Trump is given a pass?

People are tearing each other apart over 2 beings that are barely human and are definitely not fit to be the leader of the free world. Hypocrisy is deep, and the country is more divided than when the elections started—although not all of it has to do with candidacy.

Many of us have simply given up debating what should be common sense and have placed our faith in God. His plan will be served. From what has come of the last year, it doesn’t look as though this is an election. It seems to be more of a judgment against this nation.

Vote for who you will, but quit prodding others to jump in your apple cart or join the train. People have to, as Ted Cruz said, “Vote their conscience.” He has allowed GOP bullying to push him into a bitter spot, but that does not mean that everyone else has to join him. Thank the good lord, there are still a few who have not thrown all dignity out and joined in the melee that is Election 2016.

As for me, I have faith in God. I’m at the “Just Get it Over With” point. The Electoral College, as Bill, Hillary, and the Donald all know, will decide this election. Many of us can go back to wishing away 4 more years of our lives.
