That's a bit of an annoying phrase. It's like when someone uses "that" twice in a row, I get the word has two different meanings, but invest in a thesaurus. This is literally the first time I have read or heard or seen the phrase "nothing burger."

Totenberg giggling that she wished AIDS on Jesse Helm's grandchildren ? Alec Baldwin call for us all to rise up and stone Henry Hyde to death. Then go and kill his wife and children and their families like they do in Africa. Then we have Kathy Griffith holding President Trumps bloody head just like the ISIS does the only thing missing was a burka. <br />Good and bad on both sides but somehow the liberals come out just fine and the conservatives like me are bad.<br />I can't watch the news, only watch the local news and some of the morning CBS news.<br />It is all garbage under the guise of "reporting".<br />As for Clinton getting away with murder, I we have Whitewater, all the ladies he was screwing in the White house instead of paying attent to the first bombing of the Twin Towers, the Mc Dougals, travelgate, plus who really killed Vince Foster.<br />I really want to know who killed him, Fake news started with the liberal Clintons.<br />By the way I am a card holding very conservative Democrat.angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-20286718457668465702017-06-20T16:53:29.340-04:002017-06-20T16:53:29.340-04:00These are good ones, Janie.
