This is exactly what I was going to say. I have talked to people (most of them NOT Trump voters, but people who are not necessarily Democrats either) and they seriously do not understand why it’s a problem to have a president who, say, has overseas business interests, or financial ties to a media outlet that will be…

I’ve worked in politics for nearly nine years now, and this also drives me crazy! My 21 year old niece, while posting horrifying memes of Clinton, told me that “everyone’s opinion is valid.”

Do you mean Michele Bachman in 2020 or Obama. Obama doesn’t want to run. Also Clinton Foundation is a charity with open books that you can find on line. None of the Clintons accepted a dime from the charity. Somebody has to get paid for there to be pay for play. We spent so much time trying to be fair and balanced we…

Which proves that a majority of Americans are deaf, dumb and blind. Somehow the worse of the two unpopular options “wins.”

I work for a city government in California. As part of that work, I tangentially oversee some procurement. Due to that, I, like nearly 30,000 other California public employees, file a Form 700 with the California Fair Political Practices Commission where I disclose any financial interests that MIGHT possibly raise a…

This is only tangentially related, but another thing that irks me is that people seem to think that politics is the one arena where everyone’s opinion (and facts, apparently) is equally educated and valuable.

Like, I would expect to be ridiculed if I, an admin assistant and MPP/political science student, argued with,…

Yeah, that article is fucking amazing. I keep hearing this “don’t insult or condescend to Trump supporters, that’s not how you change minds.”

I feel like it’s extremely optimistic that they will realize their mistake even once they’re on fire. After talking with hardcore irrational Trump supporters, I know they will manage to find a way to blame others, the Blues, the Commies, the Muslims, someone and anyone else, even as their house burns down around them…

Clinton: 65,746,544

I think part of what got us here, aside from the much talked about racism and fake news, is that a large part of the population thinks that our leaders will just, like, do what leaders do. “Hey, he’s president now. He’ll do president things.” It’s an infantile way of thinking, very concrete. These are people who think…

The difference is that the Clinton Foundation (which includes the CGI you mention) is a public, nonprofit corporation whose stated mission is to improve lives of people in America and around the world.

They don’t rise to the same level.

Comparing the Clinton Foundation to the Trump organization is like comparing a Little League baseball team to the New York Yankees.

I know this is kind of hard to understand, but, out of all the people who voted, MORE of them voted for Hillary Clinton than anyone else. Hence, it is pretty common knowledge of what the MAJORITY of people who voted wanted. A majority does not have to be 50.1% you know.

Applying even simple logic, the candidates would have spent less time jerking off red state middle America, and more time in big cities, meaning it’s pretty reasonable to extrapolatee that Clinton would have increased her popular lead.

The difference is that Clinton did not personally benefit financially from the Clinton Foundation. All of those donations went to fighting AIDS in Africa and helping poor farmers.

I mean... you have people who openly acknowledge how fucked they will be without Obamacare voting for a president, governor, and congress who repeatedly vote to take away Obamacare. You think they care about conflicts of interest? They probably think that makes Trump super smart!

The only voters who would be crazy enough to enact a ‘revolution’.....just put Trump in office.

I can’t wait to hear the genre of music that comes out of this.

The people who disagree with this say that you are demeaning the successes of a strong business man. No one points out that Trump didn’t have to run. He went for this job and should respect it.
