Seriously?

Hillary is counterbalancing. She is actually hawkish, compared to progressives, and according to recent Maris Polling gets 20% of the Republican vote. My take is the 20 percenters, McCain type Republicans, think she hung the moon on hawk.

So, of course, she loses progressive Democrats who want the US to roll over and actually BE dead. It’s a wash and she moves on.

Besides, progressives are going to vote for her anyway and those 1 in 5 Republicans will too unless Jeb runs for open borders. Then they might vote for Bush over Clinton. (Except for McCain.)

A recent excuse for not speaking up/opposing Obama is that the rats would never have forgiven her for tarnishing their hero and this would have cost her support for her 2016 run. So, as always, her power mongering and career comes before doing the right thing - even if it costs lives.

She has NO BUSINESS being anywhere near the seat of power because she has the ethics of a starving alligator. And we were warned by her Watergate boss decades ago.

I am sure both Obola and Cankles are just playing the roles that King Soros has written for them. Nobody is catching anyone else by surprise in the elite circles. They all know the script.

I was unsure how to categorize Mr. Rogin. This piece makes clear he is a stooge.

You could have a point there... however, the fact that HRC tried to get that book and two others banned or blacklisted meant there had to be some pain inflicted...

Jesus H Roosevelt Christ!

I am not even going to read the article as the headline alone has given me vertigo from shaking my head.

Who the eff do they think they’re kidding???????

So now Hildabeast of the infamous Reset Button is now going to be unveiled as a frustrated genius SOS? If only the High and Mighty and Most Holy Emperor Princess Barry had listened to her - we’d not have so many fires around the world, eh?

I’m gonna go have a grown up drink and pet my dog.

I think the only two things he’s concerned with are his drive and his putt.
