It's Russia Today, not Russian Times.

And yes, it's little more than a propaganda arm of the Kremlin. A lot of what they report is true, basically because they rip off other genuine news sites, but they very selectively report only those stories that make the West, the USA, and its allies look as bad as possible

The same people who tell blacks to "go over it" when it comes to slavery and the Civil War always seem to be the ones insisting that we "honor and cherish our noble Confederate forefathers forever and ever"

Slavery should be buried and forgotten about...Johnny Reb should be immortalized and honored forever

Hillary should copyright that phrase. It could become a standard legal defense.

"Yes, judge, those nine people are dead in a church in Charleston. We'll never really know if I did it or not. But what, at this point, does it matter?"

Royalties for the use of that defense will go to the Clinton family slush fund, where a whole 10% of the money goes to helping people.

BTW, during the flurry of big news yesterday, the FBI quietly announced that they were no longer going to investigate Hillary's missing Benghazi emails. Imagine that...

They still haven't been provided much of the relevant evidence they subpeona'd, starting with the Hillary emails on Benghazi. You know, the ones Hillary destroyed.

They'll get whatever they need after her inauguration. Her 2nd inauguration, I mean.

I agree about the second inauguration part: I would have thought that you would used the term "get what's coming to them" instead of "whatever they need."

It's a matter of perspective - they'll get what SHE thinks they need . . .

It's "Fort Marcy" and - as any idiot (except you) knows - it wasn't Hils who had Vince killed, it was Bill. Not because Vince was shtupping Hils, but because Vince had info on Bill's peccadilloes.

If you're going to promote a conspiracy theory, promote it right!

Rumor has it that Hils isn't interested in dudes, Foster or otherwise.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.
