Yikes! It was earlier?

Yeah. Al Gore and the Democrats when they bitched and moaned about a stolen election in 2000.
Just like Hilary’s Illegitimate President, you guys cry and lie when you legit lose too.

Is this what Republicans mean when they talk about "weaponizing law enforcement?"

Justice Dept. Investigated Clinton Foundation Until Trump’s Final Days

President Donald J. Trump and his allies tried to cast the Clinton Foundation as corrupt. But the yearslong investigation sputtered to its conclusion without charges.

Is this what Progressives like Paul mean when they say parents have no right to interfere with what teachers address in schools?
This is the text of an actual resolution passed by the Colorado Education Association at the beginning of May: "The CEA believes that capitalism inherently exploits children, public schools, land, labor, and resources. Capitalism is in opposition to fully addressing systemic racism (the school to prison pipeline), climate change, patriarchy (gender and LGBTQ disparities), education inequality and income inequality."

These are the union clowns in charge of teaching the state's kids and the stuff that Bobbie McGee supports in his state.

Swalwell and The Clinton Foundation...lol. Interesting hills to die on. Odd to puff out the chest in defense of a scumbag who banged a then 20 year old Chinese spy. Solid citizen, that Swalwell:

"During the Mueller probe, Swalwell repeatedly claimed without a shred of evidence that Trump not only colluded with Russia but also that he was an “agent” of Russian intelligence. In an interview on MSNBC, Chris Matthews asked him whether Trump was a Russian agent “like in the 1940s where you had people who were ‘reds’?” Swalwell answered, “He’s working on behalf of the Russians, yes.” It turned out that was a lie. Swalwell used his position as a member of the House Intelligence Committee to suggest that he had seen evidence the rest of us could not that Trump was a Russian operative — when we now know no such evidence existed."

Anyone want to bet there’s no prosecution of this? Just for the heck of it, I searched for both machete and Hunter College in the CNN, NYT, and NPR apps and got zero results. Guess they don’t think this is news. The AP app did have a story about it.

Cliff notes version is a college professor is caught on video cussing out students standing at a table with pro life pamphlets and brochures and then pushing their materials on the floor. A New York Post reporter goes to her apartment to talk about the viral video and has a machete put to his throat by the professor. The professor subsequently goes after the reporter and photographer on the street with the machete.

Double post.

Just sort of typical. Spend years investigating the Clinton Foundation, first Trump's DOJ and then Republican Congress. What do you get? Nothing.
But you successfully destroyed her reputation with the Benghazi nonsense so that despite being the popular choice of the people, she loses the electoral college. All that time, energy , and money wasted because Rush, or Fox or somebody told you she was "evil." And you got nothing.
Time to move on to a new "evil" person who also has a foundation like Clinton supporting progressive causes. "Evil" Soros.
(Of course, whose charitable foundation was really breaking the law? The buffoon who is still racking up results for more law breaking)

And of course spend 10 investigating Swalwell under 3 presidents and various DOJ and FBI heads and Republican lead ethics committee....and what have you got? Nothing. You must be proud.

I'd like Hillary better if she hadn't suicided all those people.

Trump is a buffoon. Yet somehow I don't really feel like we missed out when he beat Hillary.
