i just saw hillary clinton!

right there on cnn!

they were showing her doing something other than defending against emails or benghazi or walking up icy steps!

it looks like she's running for some sort of office.

something federal, like, maybe even president...?

but i've been watching cnn and cnbc for weeks now and i'm pretty sure donald trump is the only one running for president. i think it's a yes or no ballot in november.

i'm confused.

anyway, always good to see hillary on the tube!

covers one "person" (I believe the jury is still out on whether or not that one is human). some higher authority must have sent the media a memo.

This is getting ridiculous. They don't cover anything Hillary does and have 4 Trump surrogates on for every 1 Hillary surrogate.

...it's mighty suspicious that the Clintons have given Family Circle Magazine the same recipe three times ('92, '96 and now, 2016). The Family Circle Cookie Committee wants to know why Bill didn't give them a new recipe. If he wants to be First Gentleman, shouldn't he know how to bake cookies and pick out china patterns? Or does he hate stay-at-home, cookie-baking moms as much as Hillary does?

According to media around here, she's just a thorn in the side of the One True Candidate, Trump.

change that to music of some kind or even a jangling alarm....For your own mental health. Those two words are NOT what you should hear first thing in the morning.
