‘d be bitter, too, if I were Hillary Clinton. Sure, she’s had one of the grand, public careers of the past 50 years, serving as First Lady, senator from New York, and coming oh-so-close to occupying the Oval Office itself. But she’s eaten a stable full of shit over the years, too, standing by her man even as she swore she warn’t no Tammy Wynette, and then getting bigfooted by Barack Obama in 2008 and now, unfathomably, by Donald Trump.
Christ, she even won the popular vote over the lie-spouting billionaire who has no relevant experience to become what used to be known as “leader of the Free World.” WTF, WTF, WTF!: You can just hear her shouting that at Huma Abedin, at her webmaster, at Robby Mook, at good ol’ Bill (whom everybody has always loved more than her even though he’d be next to nothing without her), at the people who stuffed her into that SUV after she fainted from dehydration, exhaustion, pneumonia, or whatever the hell it was.
But most of all, she’s shouting it at James Comey, the FBI director, and Vladimir Putin, the future co-regent of these United States. Why exactly did she lose to Donald Fucking Trump? Let’s let her explain:
“Swing-state voters made their decisions in the final days breaking against me because of the F.B.I. letter from Director Comey,” she said.
The Russians, she said, sought to “undermine our democracy” through cyberattacks on Democratic targets. She said the hacking into the Democratic National Committee and into the emails of her campaign chairman, John D. Podesta, were a result of Mr. Putin’s “personal beef” against her, pointing to her accusation that Russia’s 2011 parliamentary elections were rigged.
