Saying you are sorry is not enough...

“ ‘I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be a person I’m not,” Trump said. “I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more-than-a-decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong, and I apologize.’

Trump said his campaigning had changed him, and he pledged to ‘be a better man tomorrow’ and ‘never let you down.’ He said the video was “nothing more than a distraction from the important issues we’re facing today.’ ”

This quote was taken from an article in the Atlantic, and showcases the hypocrisy of Donald Trump. Saying you are sorry for the things you have said in the past doesn’t ring true, because you have recently continued to say the same things about women, Mexicans, Muslims—actually the list is pretty extensive. This means you must have gotten real sorry in the last few days, and I would bet your sorrow stems from the fact that you got outed because you do not seem to see any moral or ethical wrong in your current campaign statements. You say that actual evidence of your values and behavior is but a distraction from important issues facing us, but your entire campaign has been a distraction from the things this country needs to address: health care, immigration, an epidemic of shootings by criminals and police—again, this list is quite extensive. We don't deserve as President a philandering, draft-dodging, tax-evading, cheating huckster whose penchant for lying is only exceeded by reviled leaders of nations that support terrorism and genocide. Your moral character is a reflection on the old adage: Nothing is so bad that it cannot be used as a wretched example.

Talk about political bullshit...

I am not deserting my candidate on the eve of the Democratic Convention, but found some information I felt ought to be shared. It all started with this Tom Toles picture I found and then did some checking to be sure it was based on factual evidence:

Another link suggested itself as I was researching this claim, and came up with a far more horrific figure. The estimates from a number of sources indicate that three times that amount has been spent  in investigating the private email server of Hillary Clinton when she was Secretary of State. All the evidence I have seen appear to point out that other Secretaries of State had similar servers and, at the time she had her own server, the information in her communications was not classified as secret or even particularly sensitive. I did not see Dick Cheney under such scrutiny when he released the name of intelligence personnel, which is a felony.

What this means is that about $30 million of taxpayer money has been spent in an effort to indict someone, and it has as of now come to nothing.
