39. Some of them are her worst enemies.

Until recently, the reason for the majority of my posts about Hillary was the posts of her would be supporters. The hyperbole, the half truths, the lies, the attempt to silence everyone not swooning over Hillary, the constant bashing of the non-swooners, the laughable, yet incessant intimations that they were not Democrats.

Boring. Offensive. Rightist. Authoritarian. Dishonest.

Not all Hillary supporters, but quite a few.

And, they post over and over and over and over until they have the last ugly word, no matter what.

Then, I was over it. If that's how it has been, still is, and is going to be, bring it. I'm ready. It's go time.

Then, yesterday, I googled posting for pay. Among the list of supposedly the best companies. I saw one fee of up to $24 an hour. By the third or fourth on this supposedly great list, it was all of a penny a post. That, would, I suppose explain a lot of the one line line or one word posts that are not even always relevant.

And then, I just felt bad for them.
