Hillary Clinton needs to sit this one out holy shit. I remember her getting paid by bankers to make "speeches" when she was running for president.
https://www.politico.com/story/2015/05/bill-and-hillary-clinton-made-roughly-25-million-in-speeches-since-2014-118009
I hate trump for all of his corruption. But holy shit she's no better
Trump is bad. It’s not comparable.
Additionally 90 % of the shit spread about Hillary was from trump himself. And as you can see: he lies.
A lot.
She's the wrong messenger. For most situations.
Yeah, that so quaint! 25M. LOL. Trump's net worth has increased by 4 BILLION since he took office THIS TIME. Fucking 25M over 10 years... "Those are rookie numbers!" No, not rookie numbers, flat out hardly a drop in the bucket. Sooo quaint. I'm sure her corruption is exactly the same as Trump's! (Can you really type that without busting out laughing?)
All that tells me is that she's bad at being corrupt, not that she's some paragon of integrity.
I never said she was a paragon of integrity... but where she was picking up spare change left on the counter, Trump is robbing the register and looting the pension fund all at the same time. They are not the same.
So one could argue Trump has more dignity as he sold himself for more...
Corruption is corruption no matter if someone sells himself for 100, 100,000 or 100,000,000
No, she's a lot better, but the bar Trump has set is that low.
The dog shit one might have to scrap of the bottom of one's shoe is a lot better than Trump.
She's only better if you're a fan of open air child sex slave markets
Haha that propaganda is shitpost quality. I cannot believe anyone is so gullible to eat that shit up.
I guess fucking Obama is gullible?
You're just fucking ignorant of history.
Do you genuinely think Trump is any better in that regard? They were both friends with Epstein.
This is about Libya. Read a history book.
And yes, it is 100% her fault. Fuck, even Obama thought so.
So I can delete the part about Epstein and the comment will remain relevant then. Trump doesn't care either.
Please give me some indication that you understand the context of what I'm talking about otherwise shut up and fuck off
Yo chill not everyone is American and fully knowledgeable on American politics. What are you referring to?
This is the comment you're asking me to 'chill' about.
This is about the Libyan war, organized by Clinton, but driven by NATO and mostly the French.
You're ignorant not of American history but of world history.
EDIT: next time you hear someone day that NATO is a defensive organization and has never invaded anyone, you will know that they're either lying or ignorant.
I can't remember who said it, but:
"Hillary Clinton represents everything wrong with American politics. Donald Trump represents everything wrong with America."
The Bernie thing was bad as well as possibly the only fully fact checked story . But here we have people deciding between propaganda shitposts and a bigot sending people to literal death camps as what is worse. The people who eat the shitposts as fact and spread it around are officially worse than both candidates. They are just Russian bots.
No, getting paid by bankers is ABSOLUTELY a problem. Or did you forget what the bankers leading up to 2008 after they got beneficial legislation passed that let them fuck up the markets?
Bankers buy politicians to let them fuck up the economy and drain more money from everyone else they can.
Please cite the sources. And not propaganda.
Your definition of propaganda is anything you don't agree with.
To the point that you literally think that Clinton isn't responsible for Libya, and describe it as propaganda.
Bro do you think any other person giving the exact same speech as Hillary would be paid that kinda money? The banks aren't paying her for her oratory chops. It's influence purchasing. Be serious.
When she refused to release the text of those speeches it made some people go,"Hmmmm."
I was sooo mad Debbie fucked over bernie when she ran the DNC. Honestly that might of been the beginning of the decline for them. Let's hope they listen to voters.
The beginning of the end was when the blue dog Democrats took over the party.
It died with Paul Wellstone.
Now it is the party to protect the oligarchs.
The voters don't pay like the donor class.
And democrats decided they prefer donations to votes.
