I’d say it sounds like you can’t think of one single thing that would be better in my life if Hillary were president

This place is so swamped with Trump posts that we need a new Trump thread. Drain. The. Swamp!

Nice dodge. Oh wait, you just ignored what was said as usual.

Says someone who couldn't even follow a simple article to see that it wasn't pro-Trump. Come on bro, you can do better than that.

Cmom man you should know better. You know people only read the article titles to form their opinion.

Im curious how someone in your field determines if a publication is scholarly. In science we can be critical of how studies are conducted and peer review/consistent reaults helps determine credability. In politics and to a lesser extent economics it just seems to be an appeal to the authority of the author since its mostly opinion based.

When did you turn into a Clinton worshipper elf?

8 years as first lady of Arkansas

8 years as the Senator of New York
4 years as Secretary of State

Withstood 7 different senate hearings, (Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi, rinse, wash, and repeat) costing us all millions of dollars just to try and take her down, and came out unscathed legally. But the constant redundant brow beating cost her badly once Trump coined "crooked Hillary" and his minions adopted it.

She also was one of the lawyers at the House Nixon Impeachment Hearings.

Is it hot? It feels like a swamp in here. :D
