I couldn’t stop laughing listening to Lindsey Graham on ABC this morning. “I haven’t listened to the taps but… Blah blah blah Hillary! Blah blah blah Hunter!”

Good to know they haven't ruled out extraterrestrial UFOs but have mylar balloons been ruled out? I sure hope the air force isn't sending F-22's to shoot down some kid's circus souvenir.
