The tide turns against the Benghazi committee




___________________

The tide turns against the Benghazi committee
Could this be the time when Benghazi finally turned from a liability to an asset for Hillary Clinton? If so, it’ll be because the issue has now become less about what the select committee Republicans set up to investigate the matter has found, and more about the committee itself.




How dare you call the 8th Benghazi committee, which has gone on longer than the Watergate hearing just to stretch into 2016, partisan? - LOLGOP

Aerosmith Threatens To Sue Trump
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has once again come under fire for using a famous piece of music at his campaign rallies without permission from the owners. Iconic rock star Steven Tyler, frontman of Aerosmith, has issued a cease-and-desist letter to Trump’s camp, demanding that they stop playing their track “Dream On” at Trump’s campaign rallies.

Meat Free Burgers
It is no secret that animal farming is terrible for the environment. However, it is also common knowledge that veggie burgers kind of suck compared to "the real thing". Sorry veggies, you know it's true. But fear not, a Californian start-up is hoping to create synthesized, meat-free cheeseburgers by 2016.

Right flexes muscle ahead of Speaker vote

Republican Shenanigans





Everybody’s still talking about Donald Trump. A recent poll had voters describe Trump in one word, and a lot of them used the words “idiot,” “buffoon,” “clown,” and “jerk.” And those are the people voting for Trump.
Of course, they also used other words, like “Still,” “better,” “than” and “Jeb.” - Jimmy Fallon
