But her emails...

FBI pushes back on unfounded Trump claim that China hacked Hillary Clinton’s email
The FBI on Wednesday pushed back on an unfounded claim by President Trump that Hillary Clinton’s emails were hacked by China, saying it had found no evidence that the private servers she used while secretary of state had been compromised.
Trump asserted early Wednesday, without citing evidence, that China had hacked Clinton’s emails, and he said the Justice Department and the FBI risked losing their credibility if they did not look into the matter further.

Google Responds To Trump's Accusations


Trump accuses Google of hiding 'fair media' coverage
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday Google’s search engine was hiding “fair media” coverage of him and said he would address the situation, taking a swipe at the internet giant without providing evidence or giving details of action he might take.


Hey Donald J. Trump it’s not just Google. I just Asked Jeeves and he says you’re a dick too.- Andy Borowitz




The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam Trump

Perhaps Trump will have a deeper appreciation of John McCain’s sacrifice when he, too, is imprisoned.- Andy Borowitz


Okie Dokie! Deceased McCain Draws Out The Dark Angels!
Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) had complimentary things to say about John McCain, but viewed the White House’s indecision surrounding how long to fly the flag at half-staff unsurprising given the late senator’s rocky relationship with President Donald Trump.
“Well, you know, frankly, I think that John McCain is partially to blame for that because he is very outspoken,” Inhofe told reporters Monday.





“Truth is incontrovertible. 
Panic may resent it. 
Ignorance may deride it. 
Malice may distort it. 
But there it is.”--Winston Churchill




I Wonder If White House Staffers Need Tranquilizers?
With his closest allies defecting, the president increasingly trusts only his instincts. He “got joy” from stripping former C.I.A. director John Brennan’s security clearance. And after betrayals by Allen Weisselberg and David Pecker, a former White House official says, Trump “spent the weekend calling people and screaming.”

There’s no greater legacy that one can earn in this life than inspiring a temper tantrum from Donald Trump. - Andy Borowitz





Republican Shenanigans

Tiger Woods couldn't even be bothered to respect his marriage vows, but he thinks everyone should respect the office of the president while it's being occupied by a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic pussy grabber? Yeah hard pass on that one Tiger. - Cali Hecate







Mitch McConnell Reminds Me More Of A Weasel Than A Turtle
A proposal to rename the Senate’s oldest office building for John McCain has received bipartisan support, but the effort appeared to slow Tuesday as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced he will form a bipartisan panel to solicit ideas on the best way to honor the late Arizona senator.




Here’s the real reason why McConnell & GOP don’t want to replace Russell’s name w/McCain:

“Richard Russell Jr., who died in 1971, was a segregationist and led Southern opposition to anti-lynching bills and other civil rights legislation, including the 1964 Civil Rights Act.”







A Fox News History of John McCain:
1996–1999: a war hero!
2000–2007: a maverick war hero!
2008: the most heroic maverick war hero ever!
2009–2015: that guy who was on the ticket with Sarah Palin
2016–2017: John ... who?
2018: the traitor who dared to cross Dear Leader -
Jeff Tiedrich

McCain versus Trump

John McCain and President Donald Trump are not done with one another yet.
Days of mourning for the Arizona senator, including a lying-in-state in the Capitol Rotunda and the pomp of a service in Washington's National Cathedral, are certain to become about more than simply honoring a singular political leader and national hero.


John McCain was the last silken thread of decency attached to the Republican Party.

“The Cong were after me,” Trump said. “And then, just in the nick of time, I got my deferment.” - Andy Borowitz

The late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) rejected a bid from Paul Manafort, President Trump's former campaign chairman, to manage the 2008 Republican National Convention because of concerns over Manafort's association with Russian oligarchs


To the entire GOP: John McCain, in his death, is still trying to speak to you. He is having President Obama speak at his funeral. Donald Trump is to stay away. You all should be ashamed of yourselves for completely destroying what he fought for. - Carol Murray tweet




The news that Trump has fathered an illegitimate child is catastrophic for those of us who thought his gene pool had been contained.- Andy Borowitz

The portfolio of Gov. Rick Scott and First Lady Ann Scott includes earnings last year of at least $2.9 million in two dozen hedge funds registered in the Cayman Islands, a well-known tax haven for U.S. and foreign investors.




Dear Trump:  The media's not out to get you. 
The media's out to get ratings.
America's out to get you.
The media's just covering it.
- John Fugelsang
