Now the Vatican Lies

Because that's all that's left of this ridiculous game of distraction or derangement syndrome.

In real news, Bernie wins Wyoming. Bill Clinton still hasn't apologised. Investigative journalists still haven't fully vetted Hillary over the Clinton Foundation's receipt of donations that align with travel and deals made while SOS, or those foreign donations immediately following. It will also be interesting to see how.those fall out against the #panamapapers,and more to come. What else? Oh yes, we can handle the truth around Area 51 distraction, but not her transcripts. *white noise*

I swear, it is worse than the cult of George W. at freerepublic, which I monitored for some years. They actually had a prayer circle over there of women who would pray for him each day. And I began to notice that the qualities they projected on to him were the qualities that appeared to be lacking in their husbands. It was pretty weird.

11. Worship of humans is always pretty spooky

And you are right- when people worship, they often project their needs onto the object of worship.

In essence, they are trying to make a flawed person(we all are in some ways, and thank goodness for that) into something perfect that is their champion...and since everyone wants something different, those images don't actually match anyone else's.

Hall of mirrors FTW!

After the 2nd or 3rd how is he traveling post, someone did a nice breakdown of arms deals aligning with travel and foundation funds flowing in. It really would be nice to get a good audit and reconciliation of that. Especially since it often involved people's lives, livelihood, and our tax money. And I've heard nothing about that foundation shuttering if she were to get elected.

Hillary travel or Bernie? Neither should be far down. I think Hillary's was more part of an overall foundation thread. I'll see if I can find it.
