    Those are political things. Those are things she should have been voted out of power for, not locked up for.

    I was thinking more along the lines of the “helping cover up pedophilia and human trafficking” thing. That’s a crime worthy of prison time.

      She was voted out of power. And then we got Trump.

      I’m no fan of Clinton, but rather a million times her than Trump. But the US clearly needs better candidates.

        Certainly, she would have been a better president than Trump. But that’s damning with extremely faint praise. A rotten turnip would have been a better president than Trump.

        I’ve long tried to tell Americans that they need to spend their effort on the party primaries, that’s the last chance for actual options to be considered. Once you get to the election itself the only thing left to evaluate is “which is the lesser evil?”

      Everything is political, my friend. She should absolutely face consequences for her role in the heinous war crimes committed while she was secretary of state.

        We’ve got literal piles of active Nazis and you want to go after Hillary for doing status quo shit.

        Yeah, okay. Let me add her to the list. I think I’ve got a spot here at #187.

          Don’t worry, I want to go after the fascists. But I reject the assertion that making life worse for Americans is somehow more morally wrong than making life worse for Libyans. In fact, I will go so far as to say that if you are willing to hand wave away atrocities as “status quo shit” then it makes sense that fascism is where things end up.

            But making life worse for more groups is objectively more morally wrong than making life worse for fewer groups.

              I wasn’t talking about who is better or worse than who. Do you actually think nobody less bad than trump should face any kind of justice?

              Edited: clarity

                  I mean I’m not talking about who is worse than who. For the record I do think Trump is far worse than either Clinton. But I absolutely reject that that somehow means it’s fine to authorise death squads etc. or that it’s somehow “not important enough” to remember all the horrible shit that happened under the Obama admin.

                    Nobody said any of that.
