Hillary Clinton slams Republicans and that network for Benghazi witch hunt.
This slip up by the Republican Majority Leader shows the public that the GOP is inept in governing!
Matter of fact, this could rebound Hillary Clinton's struggling campaign. She's not really struggling but the way the junk food media puts it, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) is catching up. Vice President Joe Biden can join the CNN debate anytime he wants.
Hillary Clinton is not trustworthy and old. Whatever, however and whenever!
If the junk food media is so fucking liberal, why does that network lead in ratings?
If the junk food media is so fucking liberal, why is President Barack Obama still stuck in 40s?
Damn it, the junk food media isn't liberal. It's a part of a well oiled machine in which collects revenue from partisan debates, sensationalism, and repetitiveness.
The Republican slip of the tongue came from a California lawmaker.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) went to that annoying conservative agitator's program last night. He is jockeying for House Speaker. He explains to the annoying agitator that Hillary Clinton's slide in the polls were caused by the House Select Committee on Benghazi and the classified server.
He basically said that Republicans were devoted to pushing this Benghazi nonsense until the election.
“Everybody thought Hillary Clinton was unbeatable, right?” McCarthy said on that network. “But we put together a Benghazi special committee, a select committee. What are her numbers today? Her numbers are dropping. Why? Because she’s untrustable.”
Despite Clinton being cleared of any wrongdoing, the Republicans are now focused on her server.
Already fucking up!
They gave the talking points to the junk food media. They ran with it. Now in October, Clinton will head back to Washington to testify again about Benghazi and the server.
Clinton used her private email instead of a government sanctioned email. She said that no classified information was leaked to the press. Clinton admits that she had failed in transparency. Giving her potential run for president, she should have saw this coming. The Republicans are relentless in their "fact finding" missions.
The slip of the tongue caught wind at the Hillary Clinton campaign. The campaign slams McCarthy and Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) for playing politics on the blood of Americans killed in the September 11, 2012 attack.
Brian Fallon, a spokesman for Clinton, called McCarthy’s remarks “a damning display of honesty by the possible next speaker of the House. Kevin McCarthy just confessed that the committee set up to look into the deaths of four brave Americans at Benghazi is a taxpayer-funded sham. This confirms Americans’ worst suspicions about what goes on in Washington.”
As you know, the country's worst attack on soil happened under a Republican president. September 11, 2001 is memory to the Republicans. The still act like their policies were beneficial to the country.
If you are debating over which event was the worst, you would pick 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina.
Compared to Benghazi and the BP Oil Spill, Bush would lose this debate hands down.
We gave Bush a second term because of his "keep us safe" policies.
Cecile Richards testified in Congress. Many pundits think it was a big sideshow.
If fixing stupid was easy, Washington edition.
While I don't support abortions, I don't believe it's my right to tell a woman whether to keep an unwanted pregnancy. I think women should have the right to make this difficult choice. I learned that a few years back when I dated a woman who I had gotten pregnant with my child. She had an abortion.
Matter of fact, that was probably one of the worst experiences in my life. And most recently, a woman I've dated hid her pregnancy from me. She was pregnant with another man's child.
I learned that I'm too damn nice and I've almost given up on finding love.
The Republicans may stall the government shutdown. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) is weeping his last role as the House Speaker. His sudden resignation from Congress sparked a major civil war between the establishment and the insurgency.
Finger wagging from lawmakers. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is an insurgent.
The insurgency continues to push Republicans further to the right. They still are fighting battles they'll never win.
Women rights is a very important issue. Planned Parenthood is a women's health clinic that assist women in family planning, women cancer screening, sexual disease treatment, and provide assistance to abortions.
Republicans who hate "big government" believe it's their business to be in a woman's legs.
These Republicans are so fucking stupid.
A majority of Americans polled said that Planned Parenthood is needed. A majority of single issue Republican voters support stripping funding from Planned Parenthood and every abortion provider.
Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) and many of her insurgent members were disrespectful to Planned Parenthood CEO.
Cecile Richards, the CEO of Planned Parenthood was called to testify at a majority Republican committee.
Many of the insurgent lawmakers were interrupting her and tossing around baseless claims about the Planned Parenthood CEO. Matter of fact, they gathered their talking points from the secretly recorded videos provided by an extremist group masquerading as a firm.
The videos that were released in this year were heavily elected and doctored. These videos haven't stopped the Republicans from stripping Planned Parenthood.
They vow to shut down the government if they can't take away a woman's right to choice.
Any thoughts on this controversy.
By the way, insurgent Black lawmaker Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) got a chance to show the country how truly crazy she is.
Dana Loesch got trolled and she threw a hissy fit.
I thought the conservative agitating, gun totting mother of three from the outskirts of St. Louis was bigger than that!
The Blaze's Dana Loesch got shook by a stalker online. Loesh got trolled by some nobody who mocked her in a gun training video. She had to call upon the U.S. Justice Department and FBI to find out who the fuck is trolling her with threats on her life.
She appeared in the NRA's "I'm Not A Victim" promotional.
Of course, Loesch uses the "thug" in this promotional.
The troll decided to mix it up a bit.
And holy shit, she got pissed. Matter of fact, she asked her supporters to troll the troll.
The edited version of this ad included Loesch holding a gun, then gunfire and blood spatter. The post was from a Twitter user named Tom Adelsbach, who describes himself as a "Graphic Artist, Website Designer, Flash Animator" from Chicago.
Soon I will add Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to the list of many here on World News Today. The California congressman who became a rising star since the departure of Eric Cantor is thinking about becoming the next House Speaker.
K-Mac is the Republican Majority Leader. He represents the 23rd U.S. Congressional District of California. The district carries Bakersfield, a large city with a population of 376,000 residents.
The current district is centered in areas of the southern San Joaquin Valley and southern Sierra Nevada, the Tehachapi Mountains, and the northwestern Mojave Desert. It includes the cities of Mojave and Ridgecrest, as well as most of Bakersfield. Sequoia National Park and Sequoia National Forest are within it.
If he's picked to become the new Speaker, he will have a lot of work ahead of him. He will face an already invigorated President Barack Obama. Obama has won the summer.
Obamacare survived another Supreme Court challenge. Marriage equality is valid in the all states and territories. The Iranian deal will go into effect. Cuba and the United States are establishing friendly relations. Planned Parenthood will not be defunded.
Conservatives are demanding Republicans stand firm against Obama or face a primary challenge.
The president promises that anything the Republicans pass will fail. He concludes that the Republican civil war is damaging the party and hurting the country. The party has become more extreme in their views.
Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) the outgoing Speaker of the House blasted the insurgency. He believes that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) are false prophets. He believes these politicos are fucking stupid.
He announced on Friday that he's bouncing out of Congress effective immediately. In late October, Boehner will give up his role as the House Speaker and representative. He basically said to Republicans, "Fuck you! I'm Out! Good luck on getting things done with Obama!"
Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) may become the new House Speaker. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) were Speakers of the House. President Barack Obama believes Republicans infighting causing government shutdown.
Boehner's congressional district is up for grabs. Insurgents are looking to replace him, A right wing bigot sheriff named Richard Jones is considering a run for the seat. The Butler County Sheriff is willing to take his anti-immigrant, anti-BlackLivesMatter rhetoric to Washington, DC.
McCarthy on the other hand is hoping the Republicans will give him a chance. The insurgents are really happy with picking McCarthy as the new House Speaker.
Matter of fact, Rep. Daniel Webster (R-FL) is plotting to derail McCarthy's coronation.
The insurgent lawmaker announced his bid to become the speaker as well.
The insurgent and establishment are showing teeth. The departure exposed some real bad tension between Republicans.
Kevin Owen McCarthy (born January 26, 1965) is the House majority leader of the United States House of Representatives and the U.S. representative for California's 23rd District.
A Republican, he was formerly chairman of the California Young Republicans and the Young Republican National Federation. McCarthy worked as district director for U.S. Representative Bill Thomas and in 2000 was elected as a trustee to the Kern Community College District. He then served in the California State Assembly from 2002 to 2006, including from 2004 to 2006, as the minority leader. When Thomas retired from the House in 2006, McCarthy ran to succeed him and won the election.
The 23rd district, numbered as the 22nd District from 2007 to 2013, is based in Bakersfield and includes large sections of Kern and Tulare counties.
McCarthy was elected House Republican chief deputy whip, from 2009 to 2011, and House majority whip, from 2011 until August 2014, when he was elected House majority leader to replace the outgoing Eric Cantor, who was defeated in his primary election.
Teen dies in police custody. Family demands answers to his death.
Indianapolis Police are investigating the tragic death of an 18-year old teen who died in custody.
Apparently he had a heart attack while in police custody. The death of Terrell Day is getting national exposure after Black Lives Matter got involved in his death.
He was suspect in a shoplifting of a Burlington Coat Factory. He allegedly pointed a firearm at the security guard. He was quickly apprehended. I guess something went wrong on his way to lockup.
The medic and the law determined he was faking this and sent him to lockup. They ignored his calls.
He was admitted to lockup. The next day he would turn up in the back of an ambulance, dead.
"Despite the best life-saving efforts by the EMS crew, the suspect died in the back of the ambulance," the statement added.
Indianapolis Emergency Medical Services chief Charles Miramonti offered "sincere condolences" in the statement. Miramonti said a "full internal investigation" has been launched but that he was "confident the highest level of response and care was provided."
Police said that when the man told officers he was having trouble breathing, an ambulance was called. The responding EMTs assessed Day and determined he could be taken on to processing "via jail wagon," according to the statement.
Day again complained of breathing difficulties when the jail wagon arrived and a second ambulance was called but his "condition deteriorated," police said.
Now Indianapolis Police along with state investigators are determining who ignored the suspect's request for medical treatment.
#IfIDieInPoliceCustody is a trending hashtag. It became a trend after the deaths of Freddie Gray and Sandra Bland.
Freddie Gray was severely injured in a scuffle with police. Freddie complained of injuries but was ignored by the officers. He was arrested and transported to city lockup. The officers are being charged with homicide and manslaughter, Sandra who was arrested after a routine traffic stop died while spending a night in a Texas county lockup. They claim that she committed suicide.
Now it seems like there's many more incidents like this. The law ignoring a suspect's request for treatment when asked.
Yeah, a fraction of the suspects may lie about being injured. But seriously, the law should take everything into consideration.
My son died and I want answers.
Day's mother, Shanika Askew, said her son had not been suffering from any health problems or ever had asthma.
The Marion County bag 'em ups said that he had a heart attack. Tests are still pending on whether he had other medical issues or narcotics in his blood.
You know what happens when this becomes a viral story!
The concern trolls will come out the woodwork. The concern trolls would often rush to claiming that if Terrell didn't shoplift or point the gun, he wouldn't end up dead.
The concern trolls will find some way to blame President Barack Obama, Al Sharpton and Black Lives Matter for rushing to judgement. The concern trolls will say that I give comfort to criminals.
No, I don't! I just think rationally before jumping to conclusions.
Yeah, we all believe in the justice system. If he was alive, he would go to trial. He is innocent until proven guilty. The system is assured that everyone in custody deserves a fair trial.
I believe in the U.S. Constitution as well. No one is above the law. That includes those in law enforcement. I believe that Terrell had a right to ask for medical treatment regardless of a cop's concerns that he'll escape.
The cruel and unusual punishment clause of the Eighth Amendment states that a suspect should be able to access needs in the case of an emergency or file a grievance against treatment while in lockup.
The concern trolls will find some reason to say that his life doesn't matter. The racist right will hit the hate web calling him a "Nigger", "gorilla" or "thug." The racist right will advocate for more guns in the hands of White vigilantes.
His death in police custody has sparked feverish debate on police brutality. The law often releases talking points to the junk food media justifying the incident as fault of the suspect and not those who arrested him.
The fight for freedom rest at the hands of Oklahoma governor Mary Fallin. Tondalo Hall got 30 years in the iron college for allowing child abuse in her home. Her ex-boyfriend managed to get two years. Some are calling foul.
A woman gets 30 years in the iron college. She got the short end of a huge stick. The state of Oklahoma determined that she was liable for living her child in the hands of a monster. She was sentenced to the iron college for 15 years. She went to appeal her case, but ended up getting more time added on.
The monster abused the child but ended up getting only two years in the iron college.
The woman ends up being denied parole. She got a handful of add-ons. Those add-ons will keep her in the iron college for up to 15 more years.
Black Lives Matter managed to bring this to attention and it's getting some national exposure.
Tondalo Hall was sent to the iron college along with her boyfriend at the time Robert Braxton Jr.
Braxton was the father of Tondalo's daughter. He would be extremely abusive to their child.
The Oklahoman (NewsOk) reports that Braxton admitted to breaking the leg, ribs and toe of his 3-month-old daughter, didn’t go to prison. In a plea agreement made during his criminal trial, he received a sentence of two years, which he had already spent in jail awaiting trial. He was released.
In her commutation application, and in testimony at Braxton’s trial, Hall described physical violence she suffered at the hands of Braxton while they were living together. Hall’s supporters say her sentence unfairly punishes a domestic violence survivor more harshly than her abuser.
Supporters want Oklahoma governor Mary Fallin to grant clemency to Tondalo Hall.
Even after their arrests in the abuse case, Braxton continued to harass and threaten her in the jail transport van as the two were taken to hearings at the Oklahoma County courthouse, Hall wrote.
Both her appeal and her request to have the state Supreme Court review her case were denied. Because permitting child abuse is a so-called 85 percent crime — meaning she must serve at least 85 percent of her sentence — the earliest she would eligible for release is 2030, assuming she receives early release credits and is paroled.
Her actual sentence ends in 2034 — when she’ll be 50 years old and her daughter, who was an infant when Hall was arrested, will be 30.
At Hall’s Dec. 20, 2006, sentencing, Angela Marsee, then a prosecutor for the Oklahoma District Attorney’s Office, told the judge that Hall should spend a significant portion of her life in prison. Two months earlier, Hall had entered a blind plea, meaning she pleaded guilty without the promise of a certain sentence. Just a few weeks earlier, Braxton’s case was resolved through a plea agreement on the fourth day of his trial.
Robert Braxton, Jr.
Marsee, who is now the district attorney for Beckham, Custer, Ellis, Roger Mills and Washita counties, originally wanted a life sentence for both Braxton and Hall, court transcripts reveal. She blames Hall for the deal Braxton received.
“Her testimony at the trial ... was the biggest factor into the sentence he got,” Marsee said. “She was the caretaker and the mother of these children. She was the one person in the position at the trial to make sure justice was served.”
At sentencing, Marsee told the judge she thought Hall was continuing to minimize what she saw or knew about her children being abused.
But Hall described how Braxton was continuing to harass her. He wrote her letters while they were both in the Oklahoma County jail and acted “mad” that she was going to testify at his trial, Hall testified. And even the judge — Oklahoma County District Judge Ray Elliott — admitted Hall seemed scared of Braxton. He said he factored that into her sentence, according to court transcripts.
When Hall met Braxton, she was a teenage mother who had dropped out of school in the 10th grade. She had been adopted as a baby and raised by loving parents. But her adoptive mother had died and her father was ill prepared to support a teen mom, court records show.
Hall and Braxton moved in together in 2004, and they had two children together.
At Braxton’s trial, Hall began describing how Braxton once strangled her on the couch of their apartment because he said she had a “smart mouth.” In her commutation application, she said Braxton regularly choked her, blackened her eyes, threw objects at her and verbally assaulted her in front of her children.
“I did not escape the relationship out of fear that Robert would file for custody of our children and I would never be allowed to see them again. This fear came from his repeated statements that if I ever left him, he would take our children and I would never see them,” Hall wrote.
Sometime in early November 2004, she noticed her toddler’s leg was swollen. She called her pediatrician’s office and they told her to put ice on it. She did. She also questioned Braxton about what could have happened to the boy, and Braxton denied knowing anything, Hall testified at her trial.
After a couple of days, during which the boy whined and had trouble using the leg, she took him to the hospital, where it was determined the boy had a broken femur and broken ribs. Braxton and Hall were arrested, and investigators determined their youngest child, who was 3 months old, had similar injuries.
When questioned, Hall originally told investigators she squeezed the boy’s ribs and threw him onto a bed. But she later admitted that wasn’t true. She says she wasn’t truthful because she was afraid of Braxton.
In her commutation application, Hall says if she could go back in time, she would seek help from a domestic violence shelter.
“I am responsible for failing my family — for not predicting what Robert was capable of and for placing my children in a dangerous situation.”
“Despite my failures, I did not physically abuse my children. I was an active parent and proud mother. I loved and cared for my children and would appreciate the opportunity to watch them grow up,” she continued.
Hall hasn’t been disciplined for misbehavior since she’s been in prison and she earned her GED in 2013; she’s being held at the Mabel Bassett Correctional Center in McLoud.
Hall applied for clemency in October.
The state Pardon and Parole Board hasn’t considered a commutation in months and more than 100 applications await consideration, some dating back to 2013, said Jari Askins, who served as interim board director from September to March.
“I chose to address the backlog of pardons first and wait until we had a new board appointed to address commutations,” she said.
The board’s new director, Van Guillotte, and the new board, most of whom were appointed this year, are expected to establish commutation procedures and begin considering applications again.
In commutations, recommendations made by the board are just that — recommendations. The final decision lies with the governor, who has made no public comment on the case.
UltraViolet, an advocacy group against sexism, and the Oklahoma Coalition For Reproductive Justice have voiced support for Hall.
