Martyring yourselves for the greater good, you have attained a new level of sophistication and moral superiority, the likes of which we may never see again.

The well-deserved failure of Democratic elitism:

"I think of the lawmakers, the consultants, the operatives, and—yes—the center-left media, and how everything said over the past few years leading up to this night was bullshit...Every power-hungry young Democrat fresh out of law school, every rising lawmaker, every old friend of the Clintons wanted a piece of the action. This was their ride up the power chain. The whole edifice was hollow, built atop the same unearned sense of... inevitability that surrounded Clinton in 2008....The voters of the party got taken for a ride by the people who controlled it, the ones who promised they had everything figured out and sneeringly dismissed anyone who suggested otherwise. They promised that Hillary Clinton had a lock on the Electoral College. These people didn’t know what they were talking about....The ace ground game, the brilliant ad-makers, the top Hollywood talent, and the best analytics operation ever assembled? This was all a joke."

"Perhaps the most notorious freebie flights were when Clinton flew 26 times on the private jet owned by sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. His aircraft, dubbed the 'Lolita Express,' was supposed to be equipped with a bed for sex with underage girls. On at least five occasions, Clinton dumped his Secret Service detail for the flights"

Here the State Department is also confirming that Qatar's gift to the Clintons, while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, was not disclosed and subjected to review.

The Clinton Foundation has confirmed it accepted a $1 million gift from Qatar while Hillary Clinton was US secretary of state without informing the State Department, even though she had promised to let the agency review new or significantly increased support from foreign governments.

"The final Senate Report on Benghazi corrects/clarifies a lot of prior speculation, including the idea that members of the Green resistance might have targeted the US ambassador. Instead, it seems that members of the former government came to the rescue of US personnel and helped to evacuate them. The item below is an image based on extracts from Part 1 of the report, pages 143-146, which you can find here:

"What most writers have already understood—and at least this point is not in dispute—is that the whole rush by foreign powers to create a puppet government is to legitimate a rush to war in Libya. Western powers, working through the UN, not only want a superficially unified Libya so that they can bomb it, they also want the powers that be to recognize their replacements. That such unvarnished arrogance should pass with so little comment outside of Libya is a disturbing testament to our own numb acquiescence to imperialism.""
