2016 Presidential Election Thread

Trump is used to bribing and buying politicians because he is in major construction, and palms have to be greased. That's one of the reasons he decided to run. The politicians are corrupt, and Hillary incredibly so. She didn't just rake in millions. She raked in billions, yet everyone donating knew she didn't run a real charity, she ran a criminal business enterprise. They donate to get special favors, access to US decision makes, changes to US foreign policy, and very often waivers of US sanctions. Everyone who deals with Third World and formerly communist countries knows all about how that system works.

The State Department has admitted in a court filing that among the documents Hillary deleted instead of turning over (and which are in the new batch of 14,000 that the FBI recovered from her "wiped" e-mail servers) are her Benghazi e-mails.

Washington Examiner story about the State Department being ordered to release the new e-mails by September 19th.

It was earlier noted that the volume and subject of Hillary's e-mails track with State Department traffic except regarding any of the numerous deals she cut in return for large amounts of cash, such as the Uranium One deal, Benghazi, a weird business setup in Chile, Haiti, etc. During those instances her e-mail volume (what she released) dropped to zero.

This new batch will include the horrible things she was trying to hide when she wiped her server.

Isn't there a washington paper operated by the moonies?

Yep, and gturner managed to find an even less reputable one to quote from.

Other papers are also covering the story.

The problem with the Democratic Party is extreme corruption, and Hillary is the rot. She's one of the most vile people in US politics, with more scandals than any ten other criminals, and she's kept getting away with it because our history has never had an example of First Lady's who belong in prison. Nobody wanted to grab that tar baby.

So now there are multiple organizations out there, from Wikileaks, to the KGB, to the NSA, and God knows who else, who can either blackmail her or burn her, All the Democrats knew this going in, but just wanted to pretend it was some right-wing crazy talk.

So perhaps you'll learn a lesson in her defeat, because the lesson you'll learn if she wins will be much more bitter. Nixon, who looks like Gandhi in comparison to Hillary, badly damaged the Republican party for a generation. If Trump wins, the Democrats can rally and restore their brand. If Hillary wins, they'll be the party of insider trading, scandal, corruption, lies, stonewalling, and disaster. We will achieve Third World standards of corruption and suffer the consequences.

FTFY

Haha no. She's doing the same old things that have been going on for decades, people will just turn a blind eye if they like her and be ignored if they don't.

No, Republican politicians who do anything remotely like what she did go to prison.

For example, a defense contractor bought Duke Cunninghams's house, overpaying what it was really worth, while another let him live on their yacht if he paid for maintenance. For that Cunningham was sentenced to eight years in federal prison.

By that standard, Hillary should go to prison for 8,000 years.


Heather is the daughter of Democrat senator Joe Manchin.

More evidence that Hillary is brain damaged or in the early stages of senility.



Look at it.

LOOK AT IT.

She went to a Cher fundraiser wearing on oven mitt.

Are there no mirrors in her house?

She makes Kim Jung Un look stylish.

ETA: Some eye bleach after that horrible photo.

I want one of those foxes! I've ran across a few grey foxes while out deer hunting - foxes are awesome! One startled me last year when it snuck up behind me and made a loud whooping noise that sounded just like "Nature Boy" Rick Flair!

I think everybody would like a fennec fox. If nothing else, they bring you cash!



And yes, that's a fennec fox.

They are spaztastic and not in a good way.

Hillary and Cher or the fennec fox?

speaking of suits, ties, shirts and so forth.

Although at least he was self-aware enough to have his cheap red hats made in the U.S.

so the pay-EE is corrupt but the pay-ER is totally trustworthy!

Gotcha.

No, that's how it works. Politicians demand bribes, and honest business people have to pay those bribes. Go to any third world country, or deal with Hillary, and that's how it works.

Which third world countries have you been to, pray tell?

That's the considered opinion of the Diplomad and many of his peers.

W. Lewis Amselem, long time US Foreign Service Officer; now retired; served all over the world and under all sorts of conditions. Convinced the State Department needs to be drastically slashed and reformed so that it will no longer pose a threat to the national interests of the United States.​

He and his peers immediately knew who the Clintons were when Bill first ran. The husband is the front man, who is t he face of the operation. In the back is his monster wife who handles the bags of cash, payoffs, bribes, and murders. They are our Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos.

I don't want you repeating someone else's opinion of the matter -- I want your firsthand accounts

gturner has no opinions except those the Kremlin wants him to have.

Isn't the gtard bot in Kentucky?

That's a Fried World country.

Clinton campaign finds legal loophole to collect big donations

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has found a work-around for the Democratic Party to accept donations beyond the $33,400 legal limit — despite the presidential candidate’s pledge to reform the campaign finance structure.

The scheme works like this: The Hillary Victory Fund — a joint Democratic fundraising arm — accepts the money, allocates the maximum allowed by law to the national party ($33,400), and then routes additional money to various state Democratic parties that in turn return the same amount to the national party.

Bloomberg Politics cites as one example S. Donald Sussman, who donated $343,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund in March. The next month, the maximum donation — $33,400 — was transferred directly to the Democratic Party.

Later that month, on April 25, the fund transferred $179,000 to the Democratic Party of South Carolina. Included in that transfer was $10,000, which had been given by Sussman.

On April 25, exactly $179,000 was transferred by the Democratic Party of South Carolina to the Democratic National Committee. The donation back to the national party in Washington did not include a disclosure of donors.

Bloomberg found Sussman’s donation was similarly distributed to 10 other states — and, likewise, similarly redistributed to the national party.​

Millionaires and billionaires control the DNC because they bought the DNC, and Hillary just rolls in all cash while cackling "Fuck Bernie Sanders! Fuck him! Laws don't apply to me!"

Watchdogs warn of 'serious' conflicts of interest for Clinton Foundation

Donald Trump is not the only voice sounding the alarm over conflicts of interest surroundingHillary Clinton's namesake nonprofit.

Government watchdog groups — all of them champions of heightened transparency, campaign finance reform and other Democratic priorities — are also warning of potentially "very serious" conflicts of interest if the Clinton Foundation continues as business as usual with Clinton in the White House.

The transparency advocates are not calling for the foundation to shut its doors, as Trump has done from the campaign trail. But they are urging the adoption of tough new firewalls to eliminate any perception that Clinton Foundation donors could use their wallets to gain undue access to a Hillary Clinton White House.

"The Clinton Foundation has posed a very serious conflict of interest for the entire time that it's existed," Craig Holman, government affairs lobbyist at Public Citizen, said Thursday. "The conflicts of interest are very real, and that gives Trump some ammunition to throw at it, and we're going to hear about it [until the campaign ends]."

Holman said Clinton's recent vow to bar all foreign and corporate donations to the Clinton Foundation if she wins the presidency is "a big, big step in the right direction." But, he quickly added, that alone is not enough to eliminate the "pay to play" perceptions now dogging the Clinton campaign following revelations that top State Department aides acted on the foundation's behalf when Clinton headed the agency.

To do that, he said, the Clintons will have to snip all family ties to the foundation, including the removal of Chelsea Clinton from the group's board — a step the Clinton team said it's not ready to take.

Chelsea Clinton's role on the board will only perpetuate the "pay to play" perceptions and accusations, the watchdogs said. "As long as the Clinton Foundation is tied to the family," Holman said, "very wealthy" people and special interests "will try to find a way to throw money at the feet" of the Clinton family. And if Chelsea Clinton remains on the board — especially if she retains a fundraising roll — "she would be the avenue." ​

But Hillary can't cut ties with the Clinton Foundation because the whole purpose of becoming President is to make a fuck ton of money for the Clintons. What's the point of being the most corrupt politician in US history if she can't make a fortune from being corrupt?

Seven ways the Clinton Foundation failed to meet its transparency promises​

I'll give the headings, but the article elaborates each of these points with examples.

1.The Clinton Health Access Initiative didn’t disclose its donors annually.
2. The Clinton Health Access Initiative didn’t submit foreign government donations to State Department ethics officials for review.
3. The Clinton Foundation didn’t disclose a new $500,000 donation in 2010 from the Algerian government
4. The Clinton Foundation didn’t disclose $2.35 million of donations from a family foundation linked to a company with business before Clinton's State Department.
5. The Clinton Foundation was late in disclosing millions of dollars in speaking fees.
6. The Clinton Foundation hasn’t revealed all of the sources of money transferred from a Canadian charity.
7. Exact donation amounts and dates are unknown.​

So Hillary, crook that she is, raked in over $2 billion dollars from big oil, Muslim petro-states, the Russians, and a host of other nefarious bottom dwellers.

And even if she had possessed a shred of honesty, which she doesn't, the entire agreement with the White House is unconstitutional.

United States Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 8:

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.​

That's pretty darn clear. The reason it's in there is because European nobles were always bribing people and getting bribed, dealing themselves in to a corrupt system while trampling the rights of the people.

Yet Hillary, while holding an office of trust of the United States, accepted presents, emoluments, and multi-million dollar donations from kings, princes, and foreign states without approval from Congress. Congressional approval was required so that everything was above-board, instead of hidden and then wiped clean from illegal e-mail servers by an incredibly corrupt and greedy politician who was willing to sell US foreign policy to the highest foreign bidder.

If she fails to get elected, maybe she can be the new face (well old face but you know what I mean) of "help I've fallen but I can't get up". And in the new commercials Bill could wink at the camera and stage whisper "karma's a bitch folks - living with her means I can't get it up!"

That makes two of us.

I guess Obama and Hillary really don't like Jews, seeing as how they'd dance a jig if Israel got wiped off the map.
