If anyone was supposed to be our first woman President it was Hillary Clinton. She is more than amply prepared for the office. I wish her well and success in everything on her path. Personally, I believe the course of the USA has been altered by the 2016 elections and she needs to be around to be sure that breach into forever needs someone to mend it. I am counting on her and I sincerely believe the Democratic Party is ALLOWING their future to be altered by a false victory by the current President Trump in 2016.
Russia. I am trying to decide at what point in our recent history, since "W" won 2000, when all this mess of propaganda started. It was long before 2016 that the poison of hate infiltrated our country and the turning point for me was when the Voting Rights Act of 1964 was dissolved.
President Obama and Attorney General Holder did magnificent work after that change in the law.
But, see, we actually do have a planet on melt down. Currently, there is a hurricane in the Atlantic that has a prolonged residence in the northern latitudes of the Hadley Cells near the jet stream. Today, the jet stream is markedly slower than 24 hours ago and far slower than 48 hours ago.
I have to get this right.
No matter how much I miss Secretary Clinton as our President, I have to maintain a focus on where my primary mission is; a mission I was assigned by the void over 17 years ago. I thought getting reciprocity for child support was a challenge, but, Earth is such a complicated beast. And reality about the ever increasing heat that is now upon us in a very overt way is important to note. I am not alone. I have friends. I wish Hillary had friends. Real friends. Friends that would ensure America knows the crime that happened. I don't think she should be telling it herself.
I am still concerned about the leverage Comey used and there is some profound misogyny that occurred there. If any fact of Comey's role is completely evident that is. I actually think Russia was not as successful as he. Some of my elder family members believe Trump, the Wackos Fanatics in Congress, McConnell or any combination there of threatened him with his job. Then again he simply might have a problem with women in authority.
But, as to Russia. There are stalwarts within the Russian government and people that long for Lenin. Seriously. Putin might have his issues, but, he was part of the change in Russia as much as Senator McCain believes he is a permanent KGB agent more than a Russian President. He followed Yeltsin. Putin was not hardened as he is today. He was at our side the very second the jets hit the first tower in Lower Manhattan. He wasn't scared to our side, he was a sincere leader that would provide minimally medical aid to the American soldiers yet to parachute in to Afghanistan.
I have little dislike for Russia. We have found ourselves together in battle more than anyone in history or otherwise cares to admit. That is because we care about our people. Putin has a problem with the way capitalism dominates the economy of the USA and the suffering the seething greed has created for so many Americans. The international problem as well that resulted in 2008. But, as to the Russia of today.
The USA put Vladimir in a corner. He isn't interested in war really. I do believe that. Ukraine was a surprise to him and his politics was about Crimea and the "Russian people within Crimea." When Yanukovich found it necessary to travel to Crimea to leave Ukraine, Putin was forced to face his politics. Those politics have forced the Crimea to pledge to Russia and then the border became an issue. He broke with treaties. Many treaties, not, just the one with Ukraine. He is a man with a problem. If anything was to change his reality it would be to have a President in the USA that not only shook hands with a Russian President, but, embraced him and wanted his business as the USA's own. Tillerson is a dead give away. Did Putin put him in office, too?
Vladimir Putin and the Russia people are scared of the fall of the USSR. It is just that simple. He crossed a line after Ukraine fell out of Russian control. He felt he had to make it all work for the people, including, his new economic union with surrounding countries that find it difficult to exist without Russia.
Did Putin effect the elections of 2016? You betcha he did. I don't care how many hackers he authorized or didn't authorize, he was the motivating factor and within that was his goals for propaganda with Trump under his control. He thought for sure Trump would be able to lift the sanctions. He wants out of his corner and no one is throwing in the towel to let it happen. The USA has hardliners, too. Right, Senator McCain? I love Senator McCain. If there was ever a time when his service was needed it is now. And to think cancer wants him more.
It is a darn shame Trump brought all that corruption with him. His loyalty to the USA is really in question. Maybe he wants his own country. An island nation in servitude to him. But. Hey, he always treats them right.
Hillary Clinton. The President that never was. I hate it. There is no doubt she loves this country. I never questioned that. Former Director Mueller's work will go a long way to right the ship. But, the USA is such a big ship and right now it is floundering. Russia would love for the USA to break up into little countries with a billionaire stricken with greed as President for each slice of the pie. That won't happen no matter how much Russians wish it.
Right now every American has to be thinking to get out of the Paris Accords was a HUGE mistake. If they aren't, then they aren't thinking and they lack the will to move into the future. Irma devastated an entire state and Florida is not a small state. I really think the American people need to realize what is happening to them by the will of Earth.
I am sorry Hillary Clinton is not President for all the right reasons. We all need to get the future right and we need to get it right soon.
