sorry for the weird formatting, phone’s acting up… Frankly, I think you could strive to Understand the situation more Clearly, what’s wrong with seeking Knowledge as opposed to spouting talking points. Yeah, I know you can Only do so much. Until then, you’re just another Totally Ridiculous Openfaced Less than Intellectually Honest Liberal-Basher ---

Wow. Last I remember, a few months before the election, the right was all enamored with Hillary Clinton. How she would have made a good president instead of Obama. Is it possible that was just some sort of cynical ruse to try to wedge Democrats during the reelection of Barack Obama? And, now that there is more than a fleeting concern that Clinton will succeed him, they have turned on her? ---

I find the desperation with which some people are trying to turn this unfortunate event into a top-level conspiracy to be very revealing. Of course, what it reveals is ultimately valueless, but the process is amusing. ---

Editing after some discussion with other mods: For obvious reasons I’ve given **picker** a formal warning for personal insults and an accusation of trolling. There are laws against threatening the president, but I don’t think the OP broke those. Since he’s talking about a fanciful legal proceeding or ‘just deserts,’ I’ll ignore that. This, however, is really obnoxious: > [@smeegoan22](#): > > For the Kool-Aid drinkers. Choke on that. > [@smeegoan22](#): > > /me drinks more of the Koolaid. > > :rolleyes: > [@smeegoan22](#): > > Get past your Marxist dreams. Socialist theorys. > [@BrainGlutton](#): > > No, you don’t. > > And if you ever try this sort of thing again, leave out lampshade-words like “honestly”. This is essentially an accusation of lying, which isn’t appropriate for this forum. > [@Kolga](#): > > I always forget just how many unmedicated psychotics are walking around in the world. Threads like this serve to remind me. This is a personal insult. Don’t do it again. There is already a Pit thread about Benghazi, and I encourage people who would have posted this kind of material to this thread to just go there instead. And **smeegoan** , this is the part where I tell you to contact the mods about your user names. ---

If you collect the whole set you can trade them in for prizes like Suspensions and Bannings. Just saying.
