Huma breaks down and weeps openly as she returns to campaign headquarters

OMG, she put a lot of years into building a life that was going to take her to wealth and power on the coattails of Clinton Corp, and over what was it only 6 months the entire endeavor burned to the ground, leaving almost nothing.

Does anyone want to read a book from her now, or pay her for anything else now either?

Doubtful.

I don't know about the book, but I'd bet she signed nondisclosures every which way.
 
Huma and Pence are almost the same story but in opposite directions....A stunning reversal of fortunes.

Breathtaking is the right word here I do believe.

Exactly. As depressing and nasty as this horrible election season has been, I'm stunned by the gleeful nastiness of the winning side. Gloating is one thing; crap like what we've seen here on DP is something altogether worse. The divisiveness is just getting worse.

Are you blind to the abuse Trump Supporters have taken for well over a year for exercising our Constitutional rights?

Sometimes we reap what we sow.

Wow. I see just exactly the opposite. What a difference one's perspective makes. I'm so surprised anyone would see it that way.

Non disclosures can be moved aside, and they would have been if she was to tell a story that Clinton Corp wanted told...which for sure would have happened if Hillary had been the first female President.

I feel badly for her.

She's been betrayed by her husband, put into legally uncomfortable positions by her employer to whom she is unquestionably and unwaveringly loyal, and she's been attacked politically, as well as hounded by the press.

I do. I really do. I feel badly for her.

I agree with you - I feel bad for her as well, but she made some really bad decisions too. Hopefully she'll learn from these mistakes and be a strong person for it.

Gleeful nastiness was also present in 2008 (the new President telling the GOP to get over it because "Elections have consequences"), and then a little less in 2012 because it was four years later and the shininess had worn off. What we've seen here on DP from many members, however, is beyond the pale of reasonableness. Just as what we've seen in the streets of some of our major cities is beyond the pale of reasonableness by calling for overthrowing Trump before he even takes the oath of office. We even had a thread here on DP asking people to sign a petition to insist on the electors in the Electoral College to not vote for Trump. All that is unreasonable.

The problem is, this entire process has been nasty from the beginning 18 months ago, and it's just gotten nastier.

It saddens me to think that not only are there people out there that take pleasure in the pain and suffering of others as well there being people that are calling for harm to the President-Elect, but the worst part for me, are the shear numbers of people that fit into each of those categories.

I try to think that we are all basically good at heart and are kind souls when it counts. Times like this, make me question that.

It's actions like what we're seeing on TV and what we're reading even on here at DP by those gloating in their victory that lead to spilled blood, and shedding of tears by the nation as a whole.

We all need to step back, take a deep breath, and consider what we're saying and doing and how those two things affect others.

It's sad.

Take heart; everybody is still taking in the election results. I am very hopeful that the approaching holidays will bring perspective.

But I will say this: There was an awful lot of gleefully anticipatory gloating on this board before the election, but post-election, with a few "notable" exceptions, just about everybody has been pretty gracious.

I've never understood that. Even when I was in combat. I could get extremely angry at the guy that's shooting at me, but when the fight was over, and the guys now lying on the ground bleeding to death, I treated his wounds no differently than I would one of our own. I may yell at the bastard for shooting at me, but I took no pleasure in his pain, nor in me being the one that inflicted the pain.

We're all human. We're all the same under our outer layer of skin. Trust me. I've seen the insides of most every type of human that's on this earth, and they all look the same on the inside, they all cry the same tears, and they all have the same look of fear in their eyes when their life is slowly fading away - even the suicide bomber that didn't die immediately is scared as hell when he realizes he's still alive, but not for long.

I feel very bad for Huma, and all the Democrats or Independents that voted for Hillary. I've been there. Hell, in a way, I'm there now, but for different reasons because I didn't vote for Hillary or Trump or anyone for that matter for President.

I even feel for the kids that are out in the streets protesting. I think they need to suck it up and stop acting like idiotic nut blades, but I do understand their feelings and their pain. Not the rioters or the ones calling for an insurrection and the overthrow of Trump - those folks need to be prosecuted.

I find no joy in other's misfortune. Life is hard for everyone. Even the richest among us will have pain and personal loss in their life. I can disagree with someone, even vehemently dislike a person's ideology, and maybe even the person. But... my dislike of them or their ideology will never make me wish harm upon them, or to take joy in their misfortune or misery. And for anyone that does so, is in need of inner reflection as to what is the content of their own soul.

Sorry for rattling on.

You weren't rattling on; I think you expressed what many of us feel. Thank you.

Hillary Clinton's closest aide Huma Abedin wept openly in the street on Friday as she returned to the place where the Democratic candidate's campaign was fought - and lost.
Abedin looked like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders as she visited the campaign headquarters of the failed presidential candidate – after her own stumbles and her husband's sexting habits helped contribute to Clinton's historic defeat.

How do you know for sure what the tears were for, she may have walked into the building and marley and me was playing during the sad part.
 
I don't feel sorry for her. I don't think it's a coincidence that she's aligned so closely with two corrupt politicians. I mean, how could any decent woman marry a guy like Wiener? She's clearly ambitious. And she has some shady Muslim extremist ties as well.

I don't. I hope she goes to jail if it is found she broke the law. She made some poor choices, and the American people deserve to see justice served.

Justice has been sadly lacking under the current regime, so maybe it will change for the better.

I think that's admirable of you. Her husband? What an unbelievable mess THAT is.

I think I can agree that her unwavering loyalty is what's done her in. Hopefully, HC will still stand by her. It should remind all of us how few questionable decisions it takes to go completely off the rails.
