Just finished watching the new season of House of Cards on Netflix, and wow, it’s certainly becoming a reality show, accurately portraying the present state of affairs in Washington, D.C.     The show, now in its fifth season, plots the political careers of Democrats (not that it matters) Francis Underwood, played by Kevin Spacey, and his lovely and ambitious wife, Claire (Robin Wright).     Shadowy and slimy to the core, the  Underwoods climb the political ladder while breaking multiple laws, breaking others’ careers, and even slipping in two murders and a pair of induced suicides.   Despite blatant evidence against him, Francis always manages to blackmail the storyline’s key political players and maintain razor-thin alibis and cover-ups.

Shift to today’s Washington D.C., where the presumptive Proglibocrat candidate for POTUS, Hillary Clinton, dances and dodges her way around assorted schemes, malfeasance, and scandals.  We all know the content.   What is striking is that absolutely nothing happens in terms of holding her accountable despite absolutely overwhelming evidence of felonius wrongdoing. With 150 agents actively pursuing the email scandal, one in which elementary schoolchildren could reach an educated conclusion in five minutes, nothing happens.   No indictments.  No special prosecutors. I wonder what they all have on FBI Director, James Comey.   Hillary is clearly Francis Underwood in a large pantsuit.       J. Edgar Hoover would roll over in his grave !        WHAT THE HECK !
