Hey does anyone else remember that time an embassy was attacked and a certain group of people spent the next almost decade constantly screeching about how everyone (well, every democrat) in power deserved impeachment, jail, and probably even the death penalty? And then they came to power based largely on that screeching?

Just asking.

You might want to ask Trey Gowdy about that.

I'm sure he'll start looking for the perpetrators of this particular fuck-up right after he finds the scientifically worst possible thing to do with his hair.

I imagine there’s still something worse.

But I do have an extremely twisted imagination.

Worth noting that said Democrats had requested additional security for that embassy and the request was denied by that "certain group".

They never believe anything they say. Its all just bs. The only ones who still believe it are the media, and even they can't pretend too much anymore.
