Today is Wednesday, June 14, 2023. Emerging from out of the shadows of undeserving presidential defeat in 2016, former Secretary of State and First Lady Hillary Clinton got her jollies off in commenting on her former political rival’s 37-count federal indictment on a Monday night Pod Save America podcast taping hosted by ex-Obama and Clinton staffers. This funny moment was captured in an online article in Daily Mail.com entitled “Hillary Clinton laughs off Trump’s 37-count federal indictment.”

When she was asked about the indictment, Clinton’s sense of humor predominated. She just responded with a cackle when asked to reply to the news regarding the former president. At the same time, Dumpf name-dropped his former rival – and inexplicably and irrationally claimed that she “acid-washed” (what the hell is this?) her emails and stole furniture and china from the White House as he mounted a very unconvincing public defense of the documents case from his New Jersey compound, Bedminster, last night. Is this man insane or what? We all should be asking this salient question right now as the Orange Haired Menace starts to self-destruct in public.

When the hosts mentioned Dumpf’s second indictment, Clinton chortled “You’re kidding!” and then let out a loud laugh. She restrained herself afterward, responding, “I have a lot of reactions to it. And I think the best reaction publicly is, you know, let’s see it unfold and let’s see what happens.” This is precisely the stance the entire corrupt Republican Party should have been adopting as a result of the indictment, but they could not and would not. They just launched an all-out defense of the indefensible without even suggesting that a wait-and-see posture should be adopted instead.

Clinton did proceed to attack Dumpf’s Republican faithful for sticking with him and predicted he would be the party’s 2024 nominee, despite his overwhelming legal woes, but also said that Democratic President Joe Biden would be in a strong position to defeat Herr Dumpf.

As for her own troubles with her pesky email situation, Clinton marveled that many repugnicans were still pointing out – ad nauseam – how the FBI decided not to press charges against her, as she was found to have kept classified information on her private email server during the time she led the State Department.

The former FBI director James Comey rattled her presidential prospects by publicly announcing that she wouldn’t be charged – and then alerted Congress days before voting that the emails case had been reopened when additional emails were found on former Rep. Anthony (“Look at My Junk”) Weiner’s laptop.

Despite this development, Clinton was cleared a second time before Election Day by the FBI, but many Democrats blamed Comey’s interference for her shocking loss. Concerning repugnicans’ response to her old email case, Clinton puzzled, “I do think it’s – odd – let’s just say, to the point of being absurd, how that is their only response.”

In the wake of this explosive news, Republican Party faithful still stuck to their Golden Idol. Clinton said this of their undying fealty, stating “Their efforts to defend this man are truly beyond anything that I ever thought possible in our country.” Here she echoes the sentiments of millions of other Americans when she said, “It is so profoundly disturbing how this could have been the break – this could have been the opportunity to say, ‘You know, thank you for everything you’ve done for us, we really appreciate it, you know, but this is kind of serious and so we’re not going to continue to defend you,’ she said. She continued, “But no, they’re all in again. The psychology of this is so hard for me to fully grasp.” You and me, Ms. Clinton. The gutless response from the other supposed political party is so irrational in my mind.

She said this of Republicans with regard to the indictment: “They refuse to read the indictment, they refuse to engage with the facts, there’s nothing new about that, and what they refuse to admit is this is on a track about him, not about anybody else, no matter how much else they try to confuse people, and how much they try to raise extraneous issues.” She continued to say this about repugnicans, remarking, “And it’s going to be fascinating, I guess, in a bizarre and sad way, to watch them spin themselves up.”

The target of the federal documents case, Dumpf himself, first announced he would be charged in the case last Thursday night, with the content of the indictment being unsealed last Friday afternoon.

Clinton sadly added that “It seems likely right now that he will end up the nominee.” She correctly pegged the repugnican party as a cult rather than a political party at this point.

Assessing Dumpf’s successor, Clinton said that Biden had a “remarkable” first two years as president. “I don’t think he gets the credit for it,” she said. She continued, “And in part that’s because he’s not a performer, he’s a producer.” She noted, “He gets up every day and goes to work for the American people.” Clinton believed that Biden would be successful in 2024 by showing “contrast” and highlighting his “accomplishments.”

In Bedminster, Donald Dumpf blasted his old rival, Clinton, as he tried to portray the charges against him as politically motivated. He whined, “Hillary Clinton broke the law and she didn’t get indicted.” Then he falsely charged that she “acid washed” the emails she deleted from the server before turning the rest over to federal investigators.

In reality, since Dumpf does not comport himself truthfully, ever, Clinton’s IT people used a program called BleachBit – which was the genesis for his false claim.

Then the twice-impeached, twice-indicted, and sexual predator ex-president made more baseless claims regarding Clinton stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of furniture, china, flatware, rugs, and more from the White House, and she wasn’t prosecuted. He charged, “How about that one. She took the furniture and the china.” And you took classified materials exposing national security concerns, Sir. How is this equivalent to taking furniture out of the White House which cannot even be corroborated at all since you’re just lying as usual? Give me a break!

How could anyone believe this rigmarole from a pathological liar who is probably shitting himself now that he’s been caught red handed with hundreds and hundreds of classified documents. Obviously, many MAGA nitwits do!

By the way, today would have been my 42nd wedding anniversary of my first marriage. Is that amazing or what? In honor of the date, Elliot and I had breakfast at IHOP in Manhasset, Long Island. I’m just joking here, folks. We ate there since my comic book store did not have any new books for me and I didn’t have to drive there this time. So we went out in the morning instead. Then we drove to Barnes & Noble nearby, where Elliot browsed the travel section for guides to Japan, the country we might be visiting this October. It’s also Flag Day, by the way.

To go off on a tangent here, how many of you are pissed off by the steady stream of drug commercials hemorrhaging the airwaves these days? My God, they are so numerous and disgusting. I just turned off MSNBC because of the Jardiance commercial. You know the jingle: It’s a lovely fucking musical number where the actors are singing in some field the Jardiance song and there’s one rosy, robust young woman in the musical lead. It’s positively revolting, I think. Making a musical out of taking a new diabetes drug. It airs on MSNBC and other stations constantly, so when I see it, I want to mute the television or turn it off, which I did now. If an alien came down here and was forced to watch our commercials, it would think all Americans are suffering from one serious health condition after another. Hmmmm, maybe we are, after all, come to think of it!

Stay safe and be well.
