hypocrisy....is a walk on a slippery rock

ok....so Edie Brickell was actually talking about PHILOSOPHY , but I couldn't find a lyric that circled around hypocrisy. I wont rehash the past 8 years.....just the most recent incident in the long winding road that leads to Russia....so....Obama was incensed with the evidence that Russia was behind the hacking of emails of the DNC that lead to exposing of some ugly truths about miss Hillary & co.........he expelled Russian diplomats and proposed financial sanctions......again these were private emails that were exposed.....nobody suggested they were fakes..........Bradley manning on the other hand published classified documents about battle plans that put the military in real jeopardy.......that offense ? not so bad.....he gets a pardon ......if he hadn't declared he was transgender and attempted suicide while in jail , does he still get a pardon ? just ask Petraus. Obama also pardoned Oscar lopez Rivera...the FALN founder that was linked to 100's of bomb attacks on US soil, including the one in lower Manhattan of Fraunces Tavern that killed 4 during lunch and wounded 50......yep, never forget, blah blah blah....... the whole premise of a Presidential pardon is OK.....just like the electoral College.....we wont hear the left complain until Trump leaves office and pardons a few folks, then all holy hell will break out. CIA head John Brennan has been very vocal in his opposition to PRESIDENT Trump, went public with his outrage when Trump questioned the intelligence community.....but when asked about his personal feeling about the spoonjiah get out of jail cards he suddenly had NO COMMENT........what about that famous letter from 100 members of the intelligence community that warned against Trump prior to the election ? did they write any letters warning of possible pardons to potentially dangerous people, or the freeing of Guantanimo prisoners ? nope....silence.... I had the unfortunate displeasure of watching the confirmation hearings yesterday while working from home......Bernie Sanders, Al Franken & company......they collectively reinforced there is no tolerance for any ideas or free thought that deviate from their own mantras......and yet they wonder why they are out of touch with voters......Trumps nominees showed great composure and class while being preached to by a pack of degenerates.... these are twisted times my friends......thank God for the diversion of the annual Sweater Nite Gala to restore some normalcy. Sweater pauses for a moment to remember Mary Duffy and ask that all my readers say a prayer for her and the extended Duffy family. Mrs Duffy was a Saint, plain and simple, no other way to describe her....despite all the hijinks and insanity that surrounded her she remained one of the most pleasant people you could ever encounter, if you met her on the Avenue, coming or going from Lento's or Rinzy's Steakhouse; you left feeling better....she was that nice of a lady......Rest in Peace Mrs Duff.
