Well researched comedians, my friend.

Although, no matter what he found on the other scandals, there's still no excusing the damn Swiss File Transfer.

Or a lot of her other scandals.

Ah well, if she does win (which she likely will) then I can at least take comfort in knowing that her term will be plagued with scandals.

There's a lot of reasons, but unloyal citizens isn't the most popular one. It's a fringe notion.

Also "the Latins"... *cringe*

Listen, if the Romans want to try and conquer the US, they're going to have to get used to the fact that the Pope now owns the term "Rome".

They're the Latins now, get used to it. :P

Probably not. But I'm willing to bet it wouldn't be as many as a Clinton presidency.

Based on experiences with the Clintons, one can safely assume that they will continue their trend of enriching themselves at the expense of their country.

Fun thing about the Clintons, the most scandalous thing either one of them has ever been proven to do was to get a blowjob. Not for the lack of trying to pin everything since the death of Christ on them.

So they're either the best damned thieves in the history of the universe or they're innocent. Which is more probable?

Cue Trump supporters getting taken down by the Secret Service while trying to splash Hillary with holy water.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I would take that bet. Clinton's detractors continue to whip the bones of the same two horses: Benghazi, and emails. Both were investigated, nothing came of them. But since the Republicans have nothing else to go on, it just keeps circling around, over and over while ignoring the facts. "Lock her up", they chant like a salivating torch-and-pitchfork mob - while remaining blithely ignorant of Trump's own pending indictments.

Trump, on the other hand, generates a scandal every time he opens his mouth. He's a walking, glow-in-the-dark scandal. And make no mistake, Trump does nothing that isn't intended for his direct and personal benefit.
