clinton is a liar

So, I promise I won’t make a habit of writing about the election, but the sheer volume of stuff coming out about Clinton right now is remarkable and worth compiling all in one place. apparently (gasp of horror!) Hillary Clinton is a liar. yeah I know, there’s nothing particularly surprising or noteworthy about a politician lying. Americans (and people in other “representative” democracies) are used to getting lied to by politicians, it’s a fundamental part of our political process. Thing is, some of these lies go beyond the standard “lying for profit” thing and venture into the “wildly exaggerated stories told just for the fun of lying and getting away with it” territory. Here’s a few of the recent highlights:

This is pretty low, even for a democrat… maybe now at least she’ll stop claiming that the press isn’t paying enough attention to her.
