3. Well, to be fair...

If Obama's family had done this, they'd have been killed as readily as if they'd run a stop sign.

12. The Obama family

has morals and ethics, something foreign to the tRumps. Had Michelle been a nude model, they would not have even been elected dog catcher!! Different, and looser rules for democratic politicians, and gop.

16. All true from start to finish, alas (nt)

13. It's always ok if you're a republican. Not!

History will judge these hypocrites very harshly. Clinton derangement syndrome is glaring here. They spent 65 million on the BS impeachment of President Clinton. Were inconsolable about the prospect of Hilary's victory. Were angry after 8 years of Obama, the best President since FDR.
They somehow condone the disaster machine that is occupying the White House now, because he completed the theft of the Supreme Court seat that was Obama's to appoint.
I hope America will recover from the madness we are enduring now.

23. Ouch.

Sometimes the truth is really painful.

[misanthrope]

25. Not to mention the cop committing the murder might get $48,000 on top of it

like Jeronimo Yanez did for blowing away Philando Castile while a woman and her 4-year-old daughter were in the car with Castile.
