#2  "And in other news, there he been an jump in the crime rate. Unexpectedly."

#3  Over-riding juries of peers, judges, and parole boards everywhere.

It's good to be king.

#4  Yes, but instead of saying the traditional "Arise, Sir Jones" he has to say "If I had a son, he'd look like Jones."

#6  And one of the platforms of the BLM [Black Liberation Movement] is to release all incarcerated blacks.

#7  Obummer looking to have sources of weed and coke after he is out of office?
Posted by: JohnQC || 08/04/2016 9:10 Comments || Top||

#8  Yes, #7 you have it. First president to go broke and first drug addict. He will hang with the wrong crowds. This will be a long drawn out period. The media will enable and cover for him which will make his additions worse. He wants to be important and in control. Drugs will for a while feed that hunger.

#9  Assuming they were all arrested because of mandatory sentencing laws has Obama done anything to change the actual laws that caused this many 'injustices'?
Posted by: rjschwarz || 08/04/2016 15:48 Comments || Top||

#10  Apparently the laws had already been changed. These sentences should probably have been re-evaluated at that time.

#11  Would it be racist of me to want to see pictures of the miscreants? If so, why?

Voters love pelting ‘Hillary for Prison' float with water balloons at Iowa parade [VIDEO]
Iowa parade-goers got their chance to lob water balloons at an imprisoned Hillary Clinton on Saturday.

A float in the Arcadia Fire Department celebration parade included a man wearing a Hillary Clinton mask and an orange jumpsuit, standing in a makeshift prison cell. The float -- made out of chainlink -- carried the sign, "Hillary for Prison."

Volunteers handed out water balloons for people to throw, the Daily Times Herald reported.



Carroll County Democrats Chairman Tim Tracy was not happy about the float, telling the newspaper: "We saw a lot of children along the parade route. Children aren't politically savvy. It's sad to imagine that some of them may have been wondering why they were being mean to that lady and throwing things at her."

NBC Quietly Scrubs ‘Discredited’ Smear of Bill Clinton Rape Accuser
[BREITBART] Following the receipt of a retraction demand, NBC News has quietly edited the Internet edition of a segment that aired on the highly-rated "Today Show" in which anchor Andrea Mitchell claimed Juanita Broaddrick’s rape accusation against Bill Clinton
...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is...
had been "discredited."

After receiving the legal letter, penned by Broaddrick’s attorney and son, Kevin L. Hickey, NBC removed the word "discredited" from the network’s Internet version of Mitchell’s video report, Broaddrick and Hickey told this news hound. However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
NBC did not make any indication of the edit in the video or on the webpage that hosts it.

Nor did NBC fulfill Broaddrick’s request, which she says was communicated in the letter, for an apology from Mitchell on the "Today Show" as well as an acknowledgement on the show and on NBC’s website that there is no information that Broaddrick’s story has been discredited. Instead, a staffer from NBC informed Hickey that the "discredited" statement had been removed, Broaddrick and Hickey said.

"It is incredibly disappointing that NBC and Andrea Mitchell will not publicly apologize for this egregious error, especially considering that NBC has retroactively edited the online version of the story and taken out the word ’discredited,’" Hickey told Breitbart News.

"Why not now go the extra step, the morally right step, and publicly acknowledge the mistake and publicly apologize?" he said.

"My mom’s credibility was just fine for Lisa Myers and NBC when the story was initially aired. Nothing has changed. Yet NBC apparently thinks it is okay to disparage a victim like this and then do nothing to rectify the situation."

#1  Bill Clinton raped someone? That can't be. I've been watching PBS, Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, and CBSN and I didn't see this story--it can't be true (sarc).

#2  It is incredibly disappointing that NBC and Andrea Mitchell will not publicly apologize for this egregious error...

It may have been a lie but it was not an error. They did it on purpose.
