how come when hillary coughed it brought the entire media world to a STOP

to discuss how sick she was..............

and right now multiple people in close contact to the president have tested positive for a disease that is LETHAL to the elderly and people with underlying medical issues like obesity... that same president just announced he is taking a drug that HE promotes as a "cure" (for no reason other than he can't admit he's wrong)... the same drug known to have side effects such as cognitive issues, and the media is not losing its SHIT about the health of the president? Why are they not asking if he is sick and covering it up? why are they not asking if he is fit to be in command if he is taking this drug? Hillary's ability to command was called into question health wise for a HELL of a lot less!

4. I can't deny sexism played a role, but in fairness, they treat all democrats unfairly

They altered al gore's words to make it appear that he exaggerated about his pivotal role in bringing the internet/web about. One "lie" or exaggeration and the media lost their damn minds.

But Donnie lies far more than 10,000 times, and they still sit, enthralled at his feet, eager to take in and report on the latest nonsensical fabrication that trips from his lips.


Michael Dukakis was made a laughingstock after one pic of him wearing a helmet in a tank. Donnie wears clown makeup, and a bleached ferret on his head everyday, everywhere, and again, no problem.

First major party woman presidential candidate
Most thoroughly investigated and exonerated politician ever
Stood up to midslinging for a quarter-century with grace and dignity

They called thatcher the Iron Lady. They couldn't find up with any positive nickname for Hillary?

No, they *always* have to call her "widely disliked" even after she got 65 million votes.

They *always* have to call her "unpopular" even after she got more votes than donnie, who they don't often refer to as "widely disliked" or "unpopular" even though he got fewer votes.

They *always* have to hammer her for the baseless scandals even though they constantly drop Donnie's scandals.

A story about Hillary *always* mentions the stupid email nonsense, but stories about Donnie don't often mention his 25 sexual assault accusers or his Ukraine bribery/extortion or his Putin ties or the secrets he's leaked or the grift he's taken or the fact that he's been bloody impeached ffs or the fact that this is only a fraction of the list.

The media always talks about democratic "scandals", however thin or trivial or just plain false, and *never* holds republicans accountable for starting false rumors.

Donnie's brother crap was 100% racist nonsense and lies. It was entirely made up. He used those lies to con the media into giving him free airtime to promote his candidacy. And the media was and remains happy to go along with it.

Oh, and they gave Hillary around 20% of the airtime during the campaign, and 80% of that was negative "scandal" crap

It's the lack of a Y chromosome, also called "being a woman".
