Tit for tat

Go get 'em, Bill!


Since Donald Trump is claiming he should get an extra two years in office because of the Mueller investigation, which actually proved him guilty of both colluding with Russia and obstructing justice, does this mean that Bill Clinton should get an extra four years in office after the Whitewater investigation proved nothing more than that he had a misguided affair with a White House intern?

Just wondering, because those of us who aren't wealthy could sure use a comeback of the Clinton economy which did a whole hell of a lot more for us regular folk than the "Trump" economy...

Fuck Donald Trump,

Whitewater, Part II

As the republicans play out their conspiracies on the "Fast and Furious" controversy (led by the morally and intellectually challenged Darrel Issa and the increasingly addled Chuck Grassley), it has come to remind me of the Whitewater investigations instigated in the 1990s to slow down the increasingly popular and successful Clinton administration.  When all was said and done, nothing much came of the Whitewater claims--a bunch of republican bullshit, little of substance. 

The bad news about the current republican mamufactured controversy is that it will take even more time away from anything the Obama administration wants to accomplish through even more republican obstructionism, much as Whitewater wasted the good that could have come from the economic boom we were enjoying.

The good news, though, is that Whitewater had no discernible effect on the 1996 election other than to help Clinton to a landslide victory and the Democrats to pick up a few lost seats thanks to the republicans looking like the booby hatch babies they were.  It certainly didn't help with independents who typically hate these kinds of chilidsh displays of much ado over nothing.  The other good that came of the Whitewater investigations is that it engaged and re-engaged (such as moi) Democratic partisans who were angry that so much time was wasted on what was nothing more than an attempt to usurp power by the republicans, and also proved, as we've seen again and again, that the brand name "republican" is much more important to those of the conservative ilk, than the very country they claim to love.
