Forget Russia: HRC's Malia email scandal

This is a developing story meant to distract you from issues that are actually important...

A newly discovered email from HRC's private server shows she forwarded a picture of a young Malia Obama running with scissors. Senator Mitch McConnell was the first to comment on this: "It demonstrates a clear lack of parental control or guidance. How can the nation trust Barack Obama to lead it if he is incapable of handling his own child? It is time we impeach Obama before he can cause any more trouble". President (sic) tRump echoed the sentiment in a text that read, "Obama biggly bad. Crooked Hillary email proves it. Putin told me so! Dems are losers. Sad! Pathetic". Congressman Trey Gowdy, who has been entirely focused on damning Hillary after she was cleared by the FBI told reporters, "This Malia Obama picture was forwarded to ten separate people. That's TEN people who were able to view this highly classified photo. How many more classified photos will our investigation turn up?" Roy Moore of Alabama brought up the news in a campaign speech, telling his audience that the scissors were not even children's safety scissors, "I should know because I have a LOT of experience with children's.....safety scissors".

When the Times reached out to Hillary Clinton for comment, she sent an emoticon as her reply. We take this to mean she admits her guilt and will shortly turn herself over to the authorities.

People will believe Assange and post details from wikileaks as if what he says is gospel truth. But for clarification, it was Podesta who took the picture.

Look at the background, people! This photo was clearly taken in BENGHAZI!!!

Everyone else in the picture is a crisis actor — and a member of ISIS, brought here illegally by the Kenyan president to destroy his birth certificate and make frogs gay.

(With the slightest bit of effort, I could get people to believe this bullshit. That’s scary.)

the way we can be persuaded into looking away from what is important with the slightest pretext. I partially blame the MSM, which is why I made the reporter seem a little stupid. We should at least be able on DU to discern what is news and what is trash.
