I am so sick of the media reporting these petty-ass emails.

What next!?

Hillary doesn't like Burger King? She only eats at McDonalds? In an email she slanders Burger King by saying they suck?

That is about how petty these frigging emails sound.

And the media keeps reporting on them. Never mind that they were stolen. They are not newsworthy in any other way.

They are so frigging petty.

they will slip in a fraudulent email that is very damaging and totally fake. The media will report it as if it is fact. Guaranteed.

Except the idiots in the republican party. It's such a non-issue and I am so tired of hearing about it!

It doesn't even come CLOSE to comparing to what The Donald and most of the corrupt, hypocritical, perverted republicans have done throughout their careers.

nothing, essentially.

then with trump it's a smorgasboard, and when they bring shit up with his surrogates all they can say is hillary...emails! trying to build a false equivalency between sexual assault, fraud, etc, etc, etc, and hillary's emails. cause it's all they got!

aren't they pathetic? but by reporting on these nothing emails at least the reporters can respond to the trump assholes that they did report on them.

i see no other possible reason. you just cannot build a there there.

They are successfully creating a false equivalency between emails and sexual assault and other disqualifying acts of Donald Trump. It is ridiculous !
