Hence the comment that you are Ted Rall. That's exactly the kind of criticism Rall makes of his fellow cartoonists on a near-constant basis.

Stantis might be in the running for Worst of the Worst. There's something pernicious about going "Why are people so angry and mean about politics these days?? :saddowns:

Hillary once proclaimed that her email scandal was "a big nothing burger.� If that were the case she wouldn�t have destroyed cell phones with a hammer. She wouldn�t have lied about the amount of classified material in her email. She wouldn�t have used a program called �Bleach Bit� on her illegal server�a serve that had no safeguards and could be readily hacked by anyone. As it turned out, Seth Rich leaked info to WikiLeaks and he was murdered as a result.

Hillary and her ilk expected victory. Once Mrs. Clinton was president, all of her scandals would be easier to cover up. Similar to how James Comey whitewashed the Whitewater scandal. Comey was later rewarded with millions of dollars during a stint with Lockheed Martin. It was his reward. His integrity compromised, he was given a job as the head of the FBI. In that capacity he was able to let Hillary off the hook. He claimed she had no ill intent.

Hillary should be in prison right now, but she�s well-connected and �above the law.� Still, she lost and that means she�s worried. Obama is worried, too. So are a lot of the other corrupt DNC insiders. They don�t want to end up in prison where they belong. They have released the mainstream media fake news hounds to constantly attack President Trump and that�s a tell-tale sign of their fear. Trump can and should investigate their gross misdeeds.

Fear of prison is why Hillary and Podesta drummed up the Russia story. They want to distract attention away from their scandals. If anyone was involved in a scandal involving Russia it was Bill and Hillary. Their Clinton Foundation benefited from Russian donations. In return, the Russians received a good chunk of America�s uranium. This �pay for play� graft is routine with the Clintons. The Clinton Foundation is completely corrupt and it should be investigated. It�s why they�d rather see Trump investigated. The Democrat elite continue to double down on the �The Russians hacked our election� malarky, but more and more Americans are realizing it�s nothing but a big nothing burger. It�s meant to distract from super-sized burger of corruption on Hillary�s plate. She needs to eat it�every bite.

Part of me kinda wishes Hillary really had been deathly ill and died after November just so the hacks had no loving idea what to point to when the darkness closes in on their Golden Boy.

But of course they'd probably just be talking about Pelosi's emails or some poo poo.

Here is a good run down. Basically, the Ukrainian embassy was cooperative when someone working for the DNC was looking into Manafort. The right wing is conflating being helpful answering a few questions with full scale state intelligence operation.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/07/11/did_the_clinton_campaign_collude_with_ukraine.html

Seems like some Ukrainian ambassadors offered dnc some info on manaforts Russian connections. Which admittedly probably not great, but is still a far step down from the Russian government's full on (and successful!) efforts to influenve the election.

It's another one of those things right wingers do where even if you take what they say at face value and no context, what their guy did is still way worse.

Edit:beat!

It did happen, a DNC staffer apparently got help from the Ukrainian embassy in doing oppo research against Manafort, but unlike the Trump-Russia collusion, there's no evidence that it involved a concerted effort by the DNC or Clinton Campaign to coordinate with Ukraine (it was all done by a DNC staffer working alone) or that anyone representing the Ukrainian government higher ranked than an aide to the Ukrainian ambassador was involved.

Allie/Stantis were going on about voting Gary Johnson. If there's one thing you can count on from Libertarian Party voters it's "both parties are exactly equal in their corruption and if you say one is worse that means you're a blind partisan, unlike brilliant independent minded libertarians like me"

Dunno, it usually seems to be "I like to say both parties are equally bad but I mysteriously find myself only criticizing Democrats and getting weirdly defensive every time a Republican is even tepidly questioned"
