Trump bragged often of being corrupt. He is. She's not. Yooooge differences.

(52,288 posts)like a true sociopath, he was just saying whatever worked, whatever got a reaction out of the audience.

that goes for many of the slanders and lies against hillary.
the media is heinous in this regard, though they couldn't help themselves because they had already been doing that to hillary for decades.

GEM$NBComcast has an ad running showing Joe Scum saying Groper Don the Con was no longer going to investigate Hillary Clinton - he never had any such authority - but they repeat it over and over.
If I were Hillary Clinton I'd sue them all

(4,229 posts)The more he goes along the more he is doing the very things he insinuated Clinton would do, but at a much worse level.
I hope to hell the media, and the Sanders Warren wing is noticing and soon will be bringing the story more to the public.
I'd like to see this brought forth by a more well known outlet than Bigstory.
