When I was a kid, it was common to call someone a “retard.” Nowadays, it’s impolite and not politically correct, but it was just a part of life back then. It was never said maliciously toward someone who actually was mentally challenged; it was just the way kids talked then. It’s actually a shame that it isn’t in use today because for so many liberals, in government and the media, it is the perfect description for how they are. 

When you watch this clip (or any clip, really) of CNN’s Abby Phillip, there is no better word to describe the argument she is trying to make – the Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and Democrats did not weaponize government against Donald Trump or conservatives at all. “There is NO EVIDENCE that there was some top-down order of political retribution in either the Obama or the Biden administrations,” the vacant, lazy-eyed host said. 

Of course, Obama isn’t dumb enough to write a note to the IRS or the CIA saying, “I order you to go after my enemies.” The hive mind doesn’t need to be ordered; it knows. 

But how is Obama not responsible for what happened in his own administration? How is he absolved of any responsibility for the Justice Department and the “Fast and Furious” program, which we still have never seen a lot of evidence on its origin from the DoJ (anyone at the FBI interested in doing their jobs at all, or are they too busy plotting social media vagaries and career comebacks?). Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents. Do those documents still exist? Can he still be prosecuted? Seems kind of important, doesn’t it? 

But........
