Okay, well, fine. Let’s dance, buddy.

Yes, she sure did defend a man who was accused of raping a child. Because that was her job as a public defender. Do you know what a public defender is? It’s a defense lawyer for those who cannot afford an attorney but who are constitutionally given the right to one. If you think people who you believe are innocent are the only ones entitled to the rights of American citizens, then… okay. But a public defender – any lawyer – is obligated not only by law but by moral imperative to do her best for her client, even when she believes or even knows the client to be guilty. That’s how the system works in the US. Sorry if you’re just learning this now.

And If you actually believe that the tragedy of Benghazi was Hillary Clinton’s fault, you’re either solely feeding off of Fox News or you’ve decided that you’re just going to make up any old story that indulges your need to make Clinton into a psycho bitch from hell. I mean, “just for funsies”? What are you, fifteen damn years old? The fact of the matter is that Benghazi was an enormously complicated affair for which Clinton bears very little responsibility, unless you count the refusal of the GOP Congress to give the State Department more funds for protection to be Clinton’s fault. And as for what you can or cannot rest with, that’s up to you, but Clinton never said “They’re dead now, lets move on,” and in fact said precisely the opposite of that, so I for one would try to figure out something else to pretend to be outraged by.

There are two reasons why Hillary Clinton is former Secretary of State. One is that she wanted time to start her campaign for president. She’s been planning to run again in 2016 literally since July of 2008, and every single halfway politically aware person in the world understood that when she resigned as SoS in 2013, it was to focus on 2016. Nobody, except the very ignorant and the very prejudiced, think it had anything to do with her job performance; they knew that she was revving up to succeed Obama. Now, there are any number of people who were also pissed off at her because of that, and I’d be willing to bet anything that you, anon, were one of them. Because it showed just how ambitious Clinton was, that she’d devote three entire years of her life to running for president. I myself think it was also a really good thing to do for the country, because while you can half-ass being a competent Senator while running for President, the Secretary of State is a job that needs to be take up 150% of your time, energy, and attention. It is arguably a more demanding job than the Presidency. For her to resign from the State Department when it would have given her a pretty big boost in terms of prestige had she stayed there throughout her campaign showed me that not only was she serious about running, but that she was serious about making sure the country was being lead by the best people who were giving their utmost resources. John Kerry is a great Secretary of State. He’s also never running for President again. That’s who Obama needed in his second term, and that’s why Clinton left the State Department.

The second reason she left is that Hillary Clinton suffered a major concussion in December 2012. I’m sure that your ignorance of head injuries is just as vast and remarkable as your ignorance of both the legal system and the political system, but let me tell you: concussions are serious fucking business. You hear about football players and the like getting concussions and you see them play the next week, and that ought to make you have enormous fucking respect for those guys, because concussions can seriously fuck your head up. The damage can last for weeks or months or yes, even years – I am 100% positive that Clinton is still dealing with headaches, migraines, dizziness, and all of that jazz, because concussions can have after effects that last that fucking long. And you know what might not be a great thing to be doing when you’re recovering from a head injury? Being Secretary of State! Maybe instead of trying to deal with an injury like that, it’s better to rest for a few months and give a position that is enormously, fantastically important over to someone else who didn’t have a concussion! What do you think, anon, do you think that could possibly be relevant to the issue? Hmm?

So unless your position is literally that Clinton orchestrated a fucking concussion so that Obama could fire her with a good excuse (and please tell me you’re not so far down the rabbit hole that you’d believe a conspiracy theory I just made up), you can kindly fuck off with your moronic bullshit excuses for loathing a woman who’s been dealing with you and petty, small-minded twerps just like you for the last 40 years and who will be President of the United States just fine without your adulation, thanks.
