uhm...where did they reduce the state dept funding???


...the security for embassies comes from the state dept budget...which increased every year prior to bengazi in2012..the only decrease (at the request of Hillary was 2013

state dept budget 2009 14.5 billion
state dept budget 2010 17 billion
state dept budget 2011.....50 billion............hmm state dept budget nearly triples in fy11....bet the weapons running of Hillary through Benghazi was part of that....follow the money
state dept budget 2012 ....52.1 billion
state dept budget 2013.... 51 billion

hillary was the sec of state..SHE DIRECTLY was responsible for all actions and policies within our embassies

was she or was she not the sec of state??? YES she was
does all policy, security, troop movement, etc for the embassies come through her office?? YES it does
did she use a non-secure email for her duties as SoS?? YES she did
did she violate G6, cyber security protocol??? YES she did
did an ambassador get killed, because of her offices incompetence??? YES
was it asked of her office to increase the security for that embassy.....YES....did her office honor that request.....NO

that is why the bullseye was on her...it was her RESPONSIBILITY to do her job PROPERLY

Rambling nonsense is not going excuse the fact that there is absolutely no reason to do this other than to cause trouble.

Trump is a timebomb. We are bound to have a nuclear war with this loose cannon. Hope he gets his wings clipped soon or we will be in a world of SH*T.

Good try, but no dice. You and your Repugnican gang of fiends, I mean friends, constant stance is to condemn her and Democrats for being weak on war and weapons. So your little 180 degree remark here won't work, and you're called out on it. We know you guys can't pull together a fixed foundation of never-changing standards, so we'll just chuckle once again.

Susan Sarandon: 'We'd be at War' If 'Very Dangerous' Hillary Had Won ...

Very true. I wondered this myself as my evangelical neighbors are always talking about the importance of Israel even though they are quick to say Jews are bad, they are going to hell, etc. I couldn't understand it. They told me Israel needs to be preserved and Jews need complete control over the Holy Land to bring about the second coming. They said Jews will die during Armageddon. The ones that don't can repent and be born again which fulfills God's covenant with the Jews.

Wow. Radical stuff. I can't believe these people are running the country. Guess this is the reason for all the prayer breakfasts. BTW, they look down on anyone who is not born again. Everyone is going to hell (but them). Trump is desperate now. He has kept his KKK following by speaking about them without criticism. I strongly believe this is a play to the evangelicals to keep the arm of his Christian army happy. When the sex harassment charges come back against him again, they will overlook it and anything else if they think they are getting Israel.
