Or maybe you would like to discuss how Lincoln was not given the authority by congress to declare war on the south (maybe you might know why that is?)

The reason this country is failing is because it is filled with ignorant people who have been indoctrinated by a corrupt system.

You go ahead and stop reading though, critical reading is not one of the strong points of our younger generations, actually... blind flowing is.

The whole idea of cover up doesn't even make sense.

The Clinton's control all these agencies in the government, elections, the Press but they can't keep Hillary from being brought in front of an investigation committee for eleven hours before her presidential run???
/sigh

so because they don't control everything at every moment, it is evidence that they have no control at all?

Do you know what the "extremism fallacy" is? Oh wait.. you must, because you just used it.

One simple question: do you believe Obama was born in Hawaii?

Well you should know and you should care considering it was a huge source of contention and division during our president's tenure.

Or are you just deflecting?

Now, because a decision didn't go their way, it's the FBI.

Anybody seeing a theme here?
"This GOP's love affair with accusations of "bias" and "conspiracy" go way back."

You need to look at the other lane once in a while.

It is just as correct to say, "This DEM's love affair with accusations of "bias" and "conspiracy" go way back."

Are you old enough to remember 1989 and John Tower, "Where do I go to get MY reputation back"? after the dems tried to destroy him?

The dem Senate DENIED his Cabinet appointment.

Wait, aren't the dems now crying about "the President's appointments should not be blocked"?

Do you believe W. Bush blew up the levees in New Orleans?

These threads are FULL of "conspiracy" from BOTH sides.

I don't think one side has more less then the other.

Only a totally biased person would think otherwise.
