Tsk tsk. Below will =e the revised mini-essay to serve as the final piece. Although I detest =rump, to be fair, I realized, thanks to you, that I had no =vidence that he had raped a 13-year-old, though I did have have =vidence that, as an adult, there was evidence that she made an =ccusation. Also, I added another sentence with a positive ending. =eanwhile, Happy Earth Day. The Last Word: =ikes! When George W. Bush was elected president in =he year 2000, it was due to the electoral college (a rigged system which originally =ntended to prevent slaves from voting and evolved to gerrymandering), even =hough Bush's opponent, Al Gore, won the national popular vote. Hillary =linton was elected senator that year, and she announced that the first thing she =ould do was to get rid of the electoral college. A few years later, as a =olumnist for the New York Press, I sent her a letter asking about the status of that promise. She didn't =eply. On November 8, 2016, a crooked businessman, =iar extraordinaire, bragging pussy-grabber, make-America-white-again, =nti-choice, anti-Semite, fake Christian, accused rapist of a 13-year-old in 1994 =she canceled a press conference one week before the election because of =eath threats if she filed a lawsuit), climate-change hoaxer, twitter addict, homophobic, apprentice politician, fucking fascist, and Vladimir =utin's "useful idiot," namely Donald Trump, who was elected as =n insanely narcissistic dictator based on the electoral college, whereas his =pponent, Hillary Clinton, won the national popular vote by almost three million individuals galore, to no avail. Irony lives. But the monster has inadvertently =wakened a population to resist. 1 EFTA_R1_01894981 EFTA02652074
