If he's the VA State Chairman, he DOES speak for the Campaign, Hope Hicks.

15. Obama isn't off the hook yet. Just watched Fox News host claim this is Obama's legacy

Greg Gutfield on The Five was just saying the Dallas police killings were the culmination of Obama's "War On Cops".

6. The NY Times link to Stewart's face book post is broken.

Here is a working link to this jerk's Facebook timeline. You need to log into Facebook for it to work.

7. why not blame the Bush crime family for the illegal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan.

this is just another case of a returning solider, suffering from PTSD, who goes off the deep end.

he was trained to kill people by the US government.

this is more collateral damage from our last republican regime, we can ill afford another republican president, especially one who has patterned himself after Hitler.

9. "Corey does not speak for the campaign"

Sounds a lot like "the jury will disregard the last statement"- the damage is done and the jury will not disregard.
