Noting unusual there.

In 1991/1992 I worked with former longtime reporter from the Atlanta J-C, and he told me directly that and his reporter buds couldn’t wait for Bill Clinton to be elected because they had so much sleaze and dirt on him.

I believe H.L. Mencken was of the same general attitude, and he crowed about it long and loud for a couple decades.

CNN is airing that like they are airing the fact ZERO wants to charge disabled veterans for their health care via having them pay for their own health insurance. These DAV men and women sacrificed to keep our Country safe and now that is their reward from ZERO and his Administration?

CNN is in bed with the ZERO Administration period!

The Office of the President-Inept speeds ever faster toward the cliff.

This is actually getting to be fun, like those cartoon that challenge you to find the mistakes. Look - the cat has only three paws, the car has five tires!!
