My WordPress colleague B. Ashley is asking:
- “Do you want a person who is questionably devoid of conscience and empathy with a self-serving orientation and thirst to dominate others, to control war and peace matters? ” and
- “Do you want someone with a penchant for outrageous, disrespectful and pathologically untruthful statements to represent the United States?”
My answer to both questions is: NO!
Narcissism
“If the Jack Mitnick episode revealed anything about Donald Trump, it was the direction of his narcissism, that he could take credit for an employee’s expertise as if it were a condition of his own character.”

Evidence
What also perturbs me is that the FBI (the Federal Bureau of Investigation) did not comply with Mrs Clinton requests for full disclosure.
Why would the FBI not supply the information Mrs Clinton wants everyone to know? The answer that leaps to one’s mind is that the FBI does not have the information Mrs Clinton wants it to release in time for Americans to vote knowledgeably. By not complying with her request, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is not lifting the cloud of suspicion weighing down on Mrs Clinton which is how it is sabotaging the American election.
Casting suspicion will not do if proof is not provided. The people need evidence. One is innocent until proven guilty.
A New Cache: the Timing
Examine the timing. The new cache was found days before the elections, which is much too convenient, so convenient that it is difficult to tell whether or not a new cache has been found. Americans need evidence. The FBI must prove that the cache of emails exists and, if it exists, disclose the content of all emails.
The FBI under a Cloud of Suspicion
If it does not disclose the content of all emails, the FBI is placing itself under a cloud of suspicion. It has to disclose the content of these emails as the American electorate does not otherwise have the slightest reason to believe they exist. The American electorate may in fact conclude that they have been manipulated, like puppets.
An Investigation of the FBI
If the FBI does not have the emails it claims to have, there will have to be an investigation into the FBI as one or more of its employee(s) will have acted irresponsibly and unconscionably. It is highly unconscionable to manipulate the electorate just before an election.
Who and How
Just who put the FBI up to such shenanigans? And how?
A Democracy
There is not such thing as a perfect form of government. A Democracy is the best we poor humans have found. We can vote. This is what made America great. So please vote.
Every adult can vote: black, white, Asian, male, female, rich, poor, middle-class, working-class…
This man, featured below, cannot lead a nation. He has yet to present a platform. He prefers accusations…
Mr Trump
Mr Trump is now behaving as though he had won the election. Grandiosity! The election is scheduled for 8 November 2016. Only then will we know who has been elected President of the United States. We will not know a second before.
However, I have just learned that the new investigation will not be over before 8 November 2016.
Conclusion
I’m hoping for a miracle. Mrs Clinton has devoted most of her life to the well-being of her nation. She is like a veteran. She has served her country dutifully. Does anyone need more evidence?
Love to everyone ♥

Though I sympathise with your dilemma, and amm horrified by the thought of Donald Trump becoming president, you are being lied to by the mainstream media. Like any other citizen under suspicion in an investigation, Hillary Clinton cannot order the FBI to show her the evidence against her when she hasn’t even been charged with a crime.
The FBI certainly does have the emails, and many have already been published. As to the question who put the FBI ups to it, the American public should be asking who put pressure on the FBI to drop the investigation. I have the answer: Attorney General Loretta Lynch. Lynch has just had a federal lawsuit filed against her to reveal the details an airport meeting with former President Bill Clinton, which took place while the FBI was conducting the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email scandal. The following week the FBI and Justice Department agreed no charges should be brought against Hillary Clinton. The FBI had been investigating suspected corruption involving the Clinton Foundation for around a year.
Nevertheless, if she really is interested in seeing some of the emails all she has to do is search the alternative media where there is plenty of evidence pointing towards highly questionable activity especially regarding the Clinton Foundation, which has received donations appearing to link directly to fees the Clintons have made for speeches.
The mainstream media seems unwillinging to face facts, yet faced they must be.
There is the other rather rudimentary point that if the evidence is in the emails, then Hillary Clinton already has it, as they were her emails.
Sorry, Micheline, both candidates have an awful lot of baggage, and I really wish it wasn’t so, for your sake, my sake, and for the sakes of everyone on the planet .

Bryan I agree. Fortunately, I am a Canadian and cannot vote. But I pity Americans and I am pity all of us. If Washington sneezes we catch a cold. In my opinion, if there are rotten apples in their basket, the Clintons should tell. More importantly, if there are rotten apples in the Clinton Foundation basket, she should not be in that basket and if the media knows, they should make it public. They to be ready to live with the consequences of our actions. The problem is that the US elects one of two candidates: a Republican and a Democrat. Canadians elect the New Democrats when the Liberal or Conservative parties are not a credible party. Our problem is that we have to live with the leader of the party we choose. The US had terrible difficulties at the moment because they have to choose the lesser of two evils. I realize that I’m introducing relativity in the debate, but is Donald Trump a valid alternative? It appears he has raped a 13-year-old and threatened to kill her if she spoke. If such is the case, I doubt he is a legitimate nominee. But the timing is wrong. Why tell at this moment? Moreover, if Hillary’s problem is her involvement in the Clinton’s Foundation, the investigation should be about her involvement in the Clinton foundation. The electorate is being manipulated which is a nightmare. My best Bryan. Micheline

To play an even hand, Micheline, and to show I do try to read as many sides to an argument as possible, it is only fair that I point to an article in Counterpunch by someone I admire, Mike Whitney.
In ‘Memo to Comey: Keep Your Damn Hands Off Our Elections’ he rather supports your point of view..

I thank you for the link. Looking at every side is essential. A little humour is also important. We’re watching a perfect storm, but we know that anyone is found guilty of a crime, we will have an impeachment. There was a good article in the New Yorker.

They seem ready to do anything so Mr Trump is elected and that includes breaking the law, any law. Former President Bill Clinton is not Mrs Clinton. He cannot be used as a genuine means to discredit Mrs Clinton. If they are requesting DNA from Monica Lewinsky, they are desperate. The FBI has stated that it will not be finished researching emails before November 8, which suggests a will to prevent Mrs Clinton from being elected. This is paramount to a refusal to disclose the truth. How can the FBI dismiss claims of connivance between Mr Trump and Kremlin almost instantly and state an investigation that has already taken place will not be finished before Americans vote. The New Yorker has humorous articles on the election: http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/queen-offers-to-restore-british-rule-over-united-states?intcid=mod-most-popular. The New Yorker is also endorsing Mrs Clinton’s bid for the Presidency:http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/31/the-new-yorker-endorses-hillary-clinton. This is obstructionism.

Bill Clinton’s indiscretions are not a criminal offense and they are his indiscretions, not hers. John Kennedy had an affair with Marilyn Monroe. FDR had a mistress. Infidelities are regrettable and embarrassing, but they are not a criminal offence. If Mrs Clinton has committed a crime, she cannot be elected President of the United States, or, if she is elected, she will be impeached and prosecuted.
It appears Mr Trump raped a thirteen-year old. That is a criminal offense. He has also assaulted women.
At the moment the FBI has given Mr Trump an advantage. Emails have surfaced just in time to jeopardize Mrs Clinton’s bid for the presidency. Mrs Clinton used her personal computer to send sensitive emails. The FBI needed a certain document before going further regarding the new cache of emails, hence the delay.
The FBI’s announcement created a nightmare for the American electorate, but the Bureau is rapidly investigating the new cache.
Retired General Colin Powell is right. Mrs Clinton is more experienced, but the election has become too complicated. My best to you. 🙂

It seems there are rotten apples in both baskets and having to choose the lesser of two evils is a horrible situation. Besides, the timing is all wrong. The dead bodies are surfacing just before Americans vote. Americans are resilient. They may not be seen as # 1, but they are a great nation.
When I lived in France, I saw an endless field of white crosses. Americans died to liberate Europe and you were in the Pacific. Pearl Harbor! December 7, 1941. Yet Japan is a great nation, risen from ashes. Canada is not # 1, except occasionally in a hockey match.
If a crime has been committed by a leader, he or she will be removed from office.
President Obama was a faithful husband and a good father. How refreshing! He was # 1 in the world for the eight years of his Presidency, despite the problems in the Middle East. Have a good day. Micheline

Dear Gallivanta, So am I. He has threatened not to accept defeat and coming from him, this threat could imperil the United States. Mr Trump does not seem to be able to contain his emotions. He is therefore very dangerous. I hope his family can help him.
Americans will not accept having as president a person they have not elected into office. That would be the ultimate violation of democracy. Let’s pray. Best regards, Micheline
