Federalist No. 68 (Federalist Number 68), the sixty-eighth essay of The Federalist Papers, was probably written by Alexander Hamilton and published on March 12, 1788 under the pseudonym Publius – the name under which all The Federalist Papers were published. Since all were written under this one pseudonym, we can never be certain of the authorships.
Entitled “The Mode of Electing the President,” the essay describes Hamilton’s perspective on the process of selecting the Chief Executive of the United States of America. In writing this essay, Hamilton sought to convince the people of New York of the merits of the proposed Constitution.
Federalist Number 68 is the second in a series of eleven essays discussing the powers and limitations of the Executive branch but the only one to describe the method of selecting a president.
The US government publicly announced in October that it was “confident” Russia orchestrated the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and other political organizations of the Democratic Party.
Those hacks resulted in the public release of thousands of stolen emails, many of which included damaging revelations about the Democratic Party and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the party’s nominee.
There is also evidence that entities connected to the Russian government were bankrolling “troll farms” that spread fake news about Clinton. Investigators also found digital footprints of individuals tied to the Russian government who had been on intelligence agencies radar before, as was acknowledged when the intelligence agency put out a public statement in October.
No You Can’t : Why I’m Still Crying Over Hillary Clinton’s Loss
Eirene Donohue
I thought I had it together. I thought I was moving on, “getting over it” as the world kept telling me to. She lost, he won. The only thing we can do is keep fighting. We are seeds, we are safety pins, we are stronger together.
The realization hitting me.
~I AM HER~
And here was the root of my pain. This wasn’t just about the disappointment that my candidate lost. Or the fear of what Trump will do to this country. It felt like my very soul hurt and I realized that it was because of what this election said to me as a woman. It said no.
I am Her.
Every woman is, whether they know it or not. Every woman has been held back by, pushed down by, grabbed in the pussy by sexism that cannot, will not, allow a woman to rise higher than a man. The misogyny that pulses through this world, the blood that keeps the dick of American patriarchy hard, it penetrates us from the day we are born. Smile pretty. Be good. Be quiet.
Hillary Clinton stood up for women and when the world slapped her back down, my cheek felt the sting. I know that there is work to be done, battles to fight, toddlers to raise into Nasty Women.

Randy Rainbow Turned Mike Pence’s Disastrous Trip to ‘Hamilton’ into a Musical Skewering
If you saw the #MikePenceGoesToHamilton fiasco unfold over the weekend, November 18, you knew it was only a matter of time before Randy Rainbow turned the entire incident into a very Hamilton musical.
In his latest musical parody of the election that came to dinner, Rainbow gives Mike Pence and Donald Trump some advice: don’t go back to Broadway–and grow up.
Set to the tune of “You’ll Be Back” (originally performed by Jonathan Groff) from Hamilton, Rainbow skewers both Trump and Pence. Referring to Trump’s Twitter meltdown over Pence being booed, Rainbow suggested, “don’t denounce a Broadway play when you won’t denounce the KKK.”
Donald Trump and President Barack Obama exchanged pleasantries at the White House on Thursday, November 10, as the two leaders began a transition to the Trump administration following a vitriolic presidential campaign.
