Has Hillary Clinton Lost Her Mind?

By Bonchie | Oct 02, 2021 7:15 PM ET

With all the different people involved in the current chaos going on in Washington, one name you wouldn’t expect to hear is Hillary Clinton. After all, she’s not a relevant figure outside of her cult fan base. Yet, the two-time failed presidential candidate — who lost the 2016 election and then blamed Russia for four years — decided to weigh in, and I’m pretty sure she’s lost her mind.

Trump well and truly broke this woman.

I'm just astonished by how blunt Hillary was in her interview with me yesterday. She's genuinely afraid—as I am, as so many of us are–that this country will descend into minority rule. https://theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2021/09/hillary-clinton-gop-conspiracies-and-election-reform/620262/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium =social&utm_campaign=share

Before we get to Hillary, I just want to point out that this staff writer for The Atlantic claims to be genuinely afraid of the fall of our government and “minority rule.” I hesitate to use the term mental illness, but what else should we call such paranoia, backed by absolutely no evidence at all? The rest of the country is full of people going about their lives, and these beltway apparatchiks are hiding in the closet, mumbling about January 6th still. For cripes sake, get out of your bubble every once and a while.

Regardless, Hillary’s comments came in response to the fact that Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are refusing to fall in line with their party’s reconciliation ploy, which seeks to establish a new socialist utopia. Yet, I’m not sure Hillary understands what the word “minority” means. As I’ve said before, I’m not the best with math, but I’m still pretty sure that 52 (Manchin, Sinema, and the 50 GOP senators) is a greater number than 48, and therefore it is, in fact, a majority that opposes the $3.5 trillion budget bill. No concerns about the tyranny of the minority need apply. As Republicans learned during the John McCain era, there is no rule that party members vote along party lines.

Further, how exactly does a country “descend” into minority rule? Is Hillary suggesting there will be open warfare and subjugation by force, or is she just so cynical that she’s using that kind of inflammatory language to whine about…a domestic spending bill?

You can decide where you think Hillary’s mind is at, but her answer in that interview is a symptom of a much broader sickness on the left. That is, the belief that anything they don’t like is not just disagreeable, but a direct threat to “democracy.” It’s baseless panic porn, and it’s become pervasive in the Democrat Party. I believe it’s also deliberate in many cases. When you have no argument, why not paint your political opponents as terrorists looking to enact “minority rule?”

Obviously, no one is going to call Hillary or any other Democrat out for such idiocy, and that kind of hysterical claim has become the go-to tactic for a party that otherwise has nothing to run on, as we head into the 2022 election season. In short, the constant talk of some kind of minority takeover, possibly violent, that destroys the country is all these people have left. They are trying to scare people in the absence of an actual platform.

Or maybe Hillary is just nuts.

Sir - Possible - the witch KumHoela would have to appoint H... as VP upon her inauguration.
then be removed for incompetency - which is likely.

H... - the nastiest hag in teh world - as POTUS - she will start Civil War in America

[HedonistForever]

Funny how when the majority party doesn't get all their people in line, losing 2 Senators, all of a sudden there is talk about minority rule? Yeah, if one wants to make a point that a very small minority of a particular party can hold it hostage, but in no way is a problem with Republicans being in the minority and doing anything different than what Democrats did.


Democrats used the filibuster rule


https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...ge-protect-it/


Democrats have vigorously used the filibuster. It’s pathetic they now won’t pledge to protect it.

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...cktrump-303811


he Senate's record-breaking gridlock under Trump

Filibusters against the president's nominees have hit historic highs.

During Trump’s presidency, McConnell and the Senate GOP have held time-sapping roll call votes to break a filibuster and end debate on nominees a whopping 314 times, according to Senate

tallies

. All previous presidents combined faced 244 roll call votes to advance nominees over a filibuster.

Too Right, mate. I did some checking. The Republicans
could BLOCK the VP appointment. So the point is moot.

Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.

Uh, actually, not that I wanna be boss-cocky here and try to tell you America's laws - BUT - the "vacancy" would be for PRESIDENT. So then the " new choice" for Vice-President would need to be confirmed. Republicans could block the choice in the Senate.

just sayin'

25th Amendment

Presidential Disability and Succession

Passed by Congress July 6, 1965. Ratified February 10, 1967. The 25th Amendment changed a portion of Article II, Section 1
Section 1

In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.


Section 2

Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.


Section 3

Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.


Section 4

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.


When there is a'vacancy' in teh POTUS office - teh VP assumes teh POTUS office - and then nominates a VP candidate for Congress confirmation.

SA - Thank you for your diplomacy

Hope this clears up the question of succession in teh American office of POTUS.

[Salty Again]

That's good for 1965, mate. That was, I believe, before the
Senate filibuster... But no matter... HOW will the Dems
"get a majority" in the Senate?
