The more things change, the more they stay the same. Or in this case, the more they get even worse.
This brings us to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
As my colleague Bob Hoge reported, Hillary suggested on a Friday podcast, in no uncertain terms, that Donald Trump would "really like" to "kill his opposition" if he wins the November presidential election.
Look, politicians say hyperbolic politician-like things all the time. It's expected. But, this? To suggest that potentially the next president of the United States would happily kill his opposition if he could, is sick. Then again stage-4 Trump Derangement Syndrome is an insidious debilitating mental disease.
Hillary made the comments on the "Democracy Docket" podcast with host Marc Elias, a Democratic election lawyer who previously served as general counsel on her 2016 presidential campaign. Hills told Elias that Trump "models himself" after Russian President Vladimir Putin and other dictators, calling the notion of his return to the presidency "very scary."
Trump was like, you know, just gaga over Putin because Putin does what Trump would like to do: Kill his opposition, imprison his opposition, drive journalists and others into exile, rule without any check or balance. That’s what Trump really wants.
And so we have to be very conscious of how he sees the world because, in that world, he only sees strongmen leaders. He sees Putin, he sees Xi, he sees Kim Jong-un in North Korea.
Those are the people he is modeling himself after, and we’ve been down this road in our, you know, world history. We sure don’t want to go down that again.
Disgraceful? Hillary Clinton. What else should we expect from an embittered former presidential candidate who lost the 2016 election to Trump — an election that Hillary and the Democrats believed at the time would be nothing more than a formality on the path to her rightful throne?
Clinton went on to spew additional venom about Trump, but the irony isn't lost in her declaration that the former president would like to kill his political opponents if he returns to the White House in January.
From the 1993 death of Clinton White House deputy counsel Vince Foster to the 2019 death of sex offender Jefferey Epstein (both deaths were ruled suicides), along with other "mysterious" deaths in between, conspiracy theorists have long run wild with claims that the Clintons were involved in a number of "unexplained" deaths.
"He was 'suicided,'" became a thing, suggesting "he" was killed so "he" couldn't finger the Clintons in whatever "nefarious" activities that either--or both of them--were alleged to have been involved in.
The Bottom Line
Do I believe the ominous accusations? It doesn't matter if I do or not; I can no more prove any of the accusations false than anyone who'd bet their proverbial bottom dollar that the Clintons did have one or more people killed could prove true.
No, the purpose of my article is to suggest that of all the places that Hillary Clinton could've gone, suggesting that Trump would like to kill his opposition wasn't the best place for her (or Bill) to go.
Then again, Hillary in 2016 was denied her rightful ascension to her self-ordained crown. It takes a minute to get over stuff like that.
