Remember when righty shit the bed over a chance meeting ...

on an airport tarmac between Bill Clinton (who wasn't being investigated for one damned thing) and Loretta Lynch?
Yet interestingly enough, they don't have a word to say regarding Trump (whose campaign is the subject of an ongoing and well-documented investigation) and Rod Rosenstein sharing a flight on Air Force One.
There must be a word for that type of willful inconsistency.
I'm sure it'll come to me.

They will shit their pants if we so much as breathe in their direction the wrong way. When we take back the House in November, we need to tell them: "Hey kids, you had your fun. But you nearly wrecked the country as a result. The adults are back in charge now. When we need whiny, misguided outrage, we'll call you. K thanks!".
