    1. Asylum Orderlies Return Hillary Clinton To Padded Cell Disguised As Oval Office

      WASHINGTON, D.C.—According to sources close to Hillary Clinton, the failed presidential candidate was gently returned to her padded cell disguised as the Oval Office over the weekend.

      After the failed presidential candidate had escaped from the premises again and accused thousands of people of being Russian agents, orderlies were finally able to catch her and guide her back to her cell. She had escaped through the ventilation ducts, apparently, and quickly gave deranged interviews in which she seemed not to understand that she hadn’t won the 2016 election. She also found a smartphone and tweeted troubling things, causing asylum personnel to put out a call for her safe return.

      “If anyone sees a crazy-looking old woman running around saying she’s the president, do not approach her. She is very dangerous,” the mental institution said in a statement. “Please phone the authorities right away so we can get her back to safety.”

      Finally, someone spotted her screaming at a Costco sample lady, accusing the poor woman of being a Russian asset, and authorities arrived to haul her back to her cell.

      “Come on, Hill, right this way,” said one medical assistant, tenderly guiding her down a hallway to her custom cell. “Time to go back to your ce—err, your office.”

      Clinton tried to resist, insisting that she couldn’t go back to the Oval Office right now as she had a trip scheduled to meet with some foreign leaders. “Yes, OK, dear, that’s fine. That’s just great. Why don’t we have a little nap and then we’ll meet with the foreign delegates later, OK, hon?”

  1. Anyone that makes sure it’s in print is one smart man, or has higher IQ than Stable Genius.🤔🙄..😂🤣

  2. Based on Taylor’s testimony, Sondland lied to Congress. PRISON afoot! Michael Cohen got 3 years for lying to Congress!

    1. @yknot000 Typical leftist double standard. Its ok if we do it , but not others ! Who did you learn that from ? fredo cuomo or maddow ?

    2. yknot000 Based on what you said, there is no corruption on Trump’s part then. The transcript CLEARLY shows he was asking Zelenski to investigate the corruption of 2016. Zelenski has also said that there was no quid pro quo. So let’s see if reading comprehension is your thing….

    3. @wtnf 26 illogical statement, even (if in our wildest dreams) believe both Comey and McCabe are to blame they are not in office. Go for the ones in office first to stop the current madness of this administration.

    4. @Rod Allen Remember the phoney Russians that got hold of schiff some years back claiming to have some info on trump ! Schiff was more than welcome to talk about that, wasn’t he ? You are just against trying to dig things up on dems ! If that call was democrats trying to get info on a republican it would be just fine ! I personally do not think there is anything wrong with friendly leaders of countries asking for help from another, democrat or republican ! Trump will win the next election and you guys will be hurt for another 4 years. I see another democrat has gone down and soon will be with cummings and pelosi’s brother. Jimmie carter will be sent to hell with his fellow dems soon !

    5. @anavan7 completely logical. They lied to Congress and FBI investigators. The information that could be extracted from them under prosecution would root out lots more corruption.

    1. @Scott M
      What is amazing is that the DEPLORABLE will accept ANY lies to defend this disgraced orange subhuman garbage. But then again, America can’t expect more from the racist treasonous descendants of the Confederacy that STILL wave their racist treasonous flag, after more than 150 years, when their racist treasonous ancestors surrendered. Trump is the right “president” and that mailorder bride is the right first “lady” for your Deplorable kind.

  3. If the burner on the stove has been on for three years it doesn’t take long for the pot to boil over when the heat is turned up higher.Trump brought all of this on himself – no one else to blame.

    1. Douglas Hotchkiss – Hillary isn’t locked up because the Justice Department after a three year investigation ruled that she was exonerated in the e-mail “scandal” And before you say it there are many Repubs in the J D (even though they’re supposed to be non – political and it shouldn’t matter )

    1. Unfortunately, Congress namely the Senate will be looking for escape-goats. Very very sad but will not be surprised.

    2. Don’t get your hopes up, kid. I want him gone, but I’m not naive enough to think the GOP will ever actually uphold law and order.

  4. I don’t why this guy keeps talking about a “crime”, it’s called bribery and is an impeachable offence.

    1. @oltedders nice job of deflection but Joe Biden is as crooked as they come he admitted to it we have it on video, not only a quid pro quo but Biden used his position to leverage a job in a company and extorted millions of dollars, Hunter Biden only expertise was getting kicked out of the US Navy, any normal person what’s out Hunter Biden Daddy’s influence would have been thrown in the brig , and Joe Biden lied about not knowing anybody in that company because we have pictures of him playing golf with the CEO , and guess who’s standing next to the CEO little Hunter Biden busted

    1. Isn’t this what Biden did for his son ? oh yeah I forgot democrats can do as they wish, rules for thee but not for me 🙂

    2. It would be bad enough if you try to bribe the guy. But bribe the guy with our taxpayer dollars? Lock him up throw away the key #Im🍑

    3. @Fur Q What BIden did for his son was unethical, and he shouldn’t be running for president. But it wasn’t illegal. Trump’s actions, however, are both unethical and illegal.

    4. Watch the attached video… If you don’t like media spin on things then fast forward to 1 minute and 20 seconds in the video and you’ll hear it straight from Joe Biden himself… Careful, this may change your mind about who needs to be investigated…

  5. Hurd needs to stop with the double speak. There’s no way in hell he truly believes that what happened is ok. Call a spade a spade.

  6. Just imagine the things the stable genius and his people have done that we don’t even have the slightest idea.

    1. @Colin James SATANISTS , DISGUSTING ? You can now go grab them by the pu$$y IN JESUS NAME !!! F’ING HYPOCRITES!!!

  7. Can’t wait till the Angry Apricot opens his mouth and digs a bigger hole for himself and exposes his spineless enablers.

    1. Yes, and Tulsi Gabbard just exposed how corrupt Hillary is but CNN, ABC, CBS & MSNBC won’t say a thing because they are only spewing vomit biased fake news to help their Deep State pals!

    2. @Gary V Are you insane or just dumb? Hillary was and still is right about Russia’s continuing interference in American politics (in other Western democracies, too, btw. Such as in the UK or Germany, where Russia also props up the far-right). Tulsi is not a Democrat. She is defacto a Republican, peddles Russian talking points, cozies up to dictator Assad, voted against the Magnitsky Act. Hell, when confronted about support from Russia, she did NOT EVEN DENY it.

      Tulsi is a complete tool and a Russian asset.

    3. @Gary V Gary just leave if you can’t keep up with the conversation about the clip then don’t join in

    1. @Rushmore Society Tulsi Gabbard just exposed how corrupt Hillary is but CNN & MSNBC won’t say a thing because they are only spewing vomit biased fake news to help their Deep State pals!

    2. Yes, and Tulsi Gabbard just exposed how corrupt Hillary is but CNN, ABC, CBS & MSNBC won’t say a thing because they are only spewing vomit biased fake news to help their Deep State pals!

    3. Gary V « Clinton, Biden, the demonrats and the media are all guilty! Giuliani have the proofs! Guilty until proven innocent! »

      Then

      « Trump didn’t do anything wrong even if everything seems to suggest the opposite! Innocent until proven guilty! Double standard waaa waaa fake news »

    1. @Gary V See Gary, when you make big claims but can’t back it up with facts people see you as a tool. A tool that your master President Putin wants to remain an idiot. To remain in the dark. The only deep state you should worry about is the deeply troubling state of mind you are obviously in.

    2. @Benson – Me… I perpetrated 9/11 or rather… if I had, the entire region would be glowing in the dark for the next 5,000 years.

  8. Well, it seems the deep state has finally been revealed, and surprise “It’s the people the GOP have been protecting”.

    1. @T That nasty smell isn’t from rotting meat. It’s just the moldy food in the sink and rancid beer that’s wofting out of his rambler motorhome.

    2. IF THE REPUBLICANS SENAT DOES NOT PROSECUTE THIS PRESIDENT AFTER THE DEMS IMPEACH THIS CROOK WE HAVE FOR PRESIDENT, WELL IN MY VIEW, THE REPUBLICAN WILL BE CONSIDERED A TRAITORIOUS PARTY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND THE CONSTITUTION.
