It's almost adorable that they keep thinking "THIS IS THE ONE!!!" and then getting all mad and disappointed when another half assed attempt to gently caress over the Clintons fails predictably. You'd think they'd get tired of missing that football but they come back every time.

Hey I didn't see this mentioned here yet, maybe this will brighten up your day:

UAE guy in town for treatment at the Cleveland Clinic was falsely accused of pledging allegiance to ISIS.


And the body cameras for those cops didn't fall off!

As a Clevelander it's going to own if the Emiratis/Saudis stop coming here because they've pretty much bankrolled the Cleveland Clinic to take up a quarter of downtown. There's skybridges between the CC and the luxury hotels they stay at so they don't have to deal with the natives

Seriously no kidding. "Party of fiscal responsibility" I wonder what great stuff we have to look forward to (knock on wood) for the next four years. Did Hillary pull the tag off a mattress? The twenty two month investigation will get to the bottom of it!

There was ever any doubt? Hillary Clinton is probably the single most hated woman alive in the United States, maybe in the entire world.

Also cool how Republicans would have been all HE'S SUCH AN UNBIASED PERSON and wouldn't have batted an eye if he'd gone the other way. It's almost like this is a political witchhunt.

I think the news lacks self awareness.

By consistently covering Trump's argument over time, and by following up on it, media outlets did their job to inform voters. That was why Tuesday night's collective Captain Renault moment was so strange, and so demonstrative of why many media consumers are skeptical of what they're hearing. Instead of a debate on the facts -- should Hussein have been removed? Did he "kill terrorists," in a contradiction of what Americans were told before the war? -- there was manufactured outrage, straight from a rival campaign

I know to us this looks absurd, and it is, but judging by my conservatives friends on Facebook, now the FBI is compromised, owes Petraues an apology, and the GOP will now smash the Clintons by forming committees to remove Comey from power.

So they're still hitting their target audience. I'm not sure why this surprises me.

Remind them that Petraeus literally admitted to: giving top secret material to his mistress, lying about it to the fbi, trying to hide it.

If they wanted a witch-hunt into a politically motivated decision, it's actually that Holder overruled career prosecutors and the FBI on felony charges.
