Big deal. She will be pardoned, like the other grifters now leeching from the American Taxpayer, including a certain orange-faced dotard...

Surprised it took until the fourth paragraph for the odious Corey Lewandowski to make an appearance in this raggedy tale of grifters run amok.

Decades ago I heard an Italian describing someone similar to Kristi 'Puppy Murderer' Gnome: "Non ha anima."

Roughly translated: "She has no soul."

Our stupid American electorate voted to establish a nouveau riche oligarchy created through the corruption in the Trumpf junta-- as if we didn't have enough Ancien Regime millionaires and billionaires already gorging themselves on our wealth like deer ticks.

Good job Republican voters for creating a brand new cadre of millionaire tycoons in less than one year who think of you as suckers and don't give a darn about your medical problems, outrageous grocery bills, high rents, mortgages, school loans, or that you might ne taking care of an invalid or elderly parent.

Thanks to Killfile I won't be able to read the jejune defense of this greedy, selfish kakistocracy

Effin' unbelievable.

Cor,

Serious?

That goes way back further than a year. Decades even.

And the heartless nature of many of the wealthy is hardly limited to Republicans.

You're buying into some partisan BS rich Democrats want you to believe.

There you go again Fake Plastic Christian.

Both sides are NOT the same.

Democrats passed the ACA.

Republicans passed tax cuts for the wealthy and attempted to repeal (and NOT) replace the ACA 70 times!

The difference could not be clearer.

Especially after this recent shutdown.

That is the one thing Democrats did get from the shutdown.

Clarifying the stark differences between the Parties.

Most corrupt administration ever.

The entire objective of the Pedo Crime Cabal is to:

1. Personally enrich themselves by stealing money from the taxpayers.

2. Set up recurring bribes and payoff from foreign governments.

3. Engage in criminal prosecutions of political enemies.

4. Fire anyone in government that serves as a watchdog for their corruption.

And then fall asleep.

Republicans don't care. Tom Homan was recorded taking a $50K bribe and all any republicans do is shrug it off.

Republicans, remember: You asked for this. Given the choice between a dozen solid conservatives and one Clinton-supporting con artist and game-show host, you chose the con artist. You chose him freely. Nobody made you do it.

Oh please. Don't try to downplay the blatant corruption of this administration with some lame as bothsiderism.

You voted for it. You still support it.

Own it.

Pardoned for what? Having an employee's whose spouse works at a place that did work for the government? That describes most of DC, why are you only noticing how inbred our Federal Government is now? TDS?
