 The online retail giant Amazon has been accused of censorship after it removed many one-star reviews of Hillary Clinton’s memoir for supposedly violating “community guidelines.” Amazon has acknowledged removing hundreds of one-star reviews of Clinton’s memoir, ‘What Happened,’ claiming they have the right to uphold reviews from legitimate customers. As a result, Clinton’s memoir had five out five stars from over 700 reviews, as of Friday morning. However, the top eight “most helpful” reviews, picked by users, gave the book one or two stars. "If Amazon doesn't like what we have to say, don't ask for input," said one reviewer, who said their feedback was deleted three times. www.rt.com/usa/403496-amazon-purges-bad-reviews-clinton/It's not been her day, her week, her month or even her year. |

Hillary needs to take herself out of the limelight and do something behind the scenes. People are worn out with her.

She just seems incapable of it. Is there nobody in her camp with some sense?

She just seems incapable of it. Is there nobody in her camp with some sense? Do you really think she needs encouragement? Nobody's going to tell her she can't write a book. I don't see anybody telling her to run for public office. |

She just seems incapable of it. Is there nobody in her camp with some sense? Do you really think she needs encouragement? Nobody's going to tell her she can't write a book. I don't see anybody telling her to run for public office. Personally, I think she needs help. As What Happened reveals, Hillary has a lot of problems with a lot of people who, she believes, cost her the 2016 election. She doesn’t care if you don’t want to hear it (apparently many close to her advised against her writing the book), she is going to spend 512 pages letting you know how she really feels. When Clinton writes about ‘the deep currents of anger and resentment flowing through our culture’, you can’t help think that this is actually an apt description of her own feelings.
...
Hillary’s list of those people (other than herself) to blame for her loss is much longer than we’d previously thought. Bernie Sanders is a particular target of her scorn. ‘Bernie’s presence in the race meant that I had less space and credibility to run the kind of feisty progressive campaign that had helped me win Ohio and Pennsylvania in 2008’, she writes. She seems to be saying: if I had no opposition, I would have won.
...
She simply cannot hide the fact that she looks down on the electorate. A prime example is this passage:
‘Since November, more than two dozen women – of all ages, but mostly in their twenties – had approached me in restaurants, theatres, and stores to apologise for not voting or not doing more to help my campaign. I responded with forced smiles and tight nods. On one occasion, an older woman dragged her adult daughter by the arm to come talk to me and ordered her to apologise for not voting – which she did, head bowed in contrition. I wanted to stare right in her eyes and say, “You didn’t vote? How could you not vote?! You abdicated your responsibility as a citizen at the worst possible time! And now you want me to make you feel better?” Of course, I didn’t say any of that. These people were looking for absolution that I just couldn’t give. We all have to live with the consequences of our decisions.’
Trump is a disaster of a president, but What Happened is a stark reminder that Hillary would have been no better.www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/hillary-is-what-happened/20330#.Wb43wciGP4YBy redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government To dissolve the people And elect another? Bertolt Brecht |

You may not like Bubba but he is at least intelligent and savvy when it comes to government. He'd have chosen good people for her. Of course the GOP would have worked hard to undermine more Clintons so everything would have been an uphill battle. If Trump had been the Democratic candidate, he'd be imprisoned by now. |
