Her options were admit treason or admit incompetence. Of course she chose incompetence.

Which, if I am being honest, is probably true.

said the russians denied it and the white house said the president was never briefed. then they went on to the next story.

apparently this is a nothing-burger to the media that the president allegedly ignored a bounty program to kill American soldiers.

i'm also getting pretty sick & tired of their happy ending of "AMERICA STRONG" --

day after day, week by week, i turn the channel when that happy ending comes on. i guess i'm just not viewing "america strong" these days. i think america is is pretty fucked up and sick and contagious.

maybe they'd have more time to report on the white house traitor if they pulled the plug on this happy slappy crap until we get our shit straightened out in this country.
