<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;color:black">Her cartoon, for example, articulates the entrenched "meme" or biased and emotionally charged view of a large segment of voters who have voted or will vote without reference
to FBI Director Comey's last-second letter of "reprieve" for Hillary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;color:black">I predict that this letter won't change Susan's biases at all. She's totally stuck in "their" popular anti-Hillary meme, and nothing you or I or Mr. Comey can say will
change her mind.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

political malarkey Susan has swallowed whole?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;color:black">How can we make any sense of how Susan can be so misguided, given the depth of our common understanding of the way life is?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;color:black">Finally, it has become obvious that the political process may come to an electoral outcome, but that does not allow for healing or reconciliation between warring political
parties, who will feel obliged to take the political battle to the next level--the halls of Congress.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
