Bill Clinton told Clinton Foundation employees that if Hillary Clinton becomes president, the foundation would no longer accept money from foreign or corporate donations, which would bar more than half of the foundation's previous donors from contributing.

This is an admission by the Clintons that receiving foreign donations could create a conflict of interest or at least the perception of a conflict of interest. Honestly, it's pretty gross that they have received so much money in foreign donations, particularly from Saudi Arabia.

This is a move the Clintons should have made a long time ago, or at least well ahead of the time either of them planned to run for public office again. We already know that as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton worked to compensate Clinton Foundation donors by providing access at the State Department.

I think we should ban all foreign donations to all American charities. Those countries have no business helping the causes Americans care about.

"Billionaires, such as California environmentalist Tom Steyer and financier George Soros, plowed millions into Democratic-aligned super PACs last month.

Steyer alone pumped $7 million of his hedge-fund fortune into his super PAC, NextGen Climate Action, which plans an aggressive campaign to turn out voters to help Clinton and others in the party."

"environmentalist" with a 'Climate Action' super PAC pouring millions into supporting a candidate (that claims to want to get rid of Citizens United and money in politics :LOL: ) who flies by private jet from Bill's birthday party on Martha's Vineyard to Rothschild top .00001%er fundraiser in Nantucket

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is pushing back on Hillary Clinton's reported claims that he advised her to use a personal email account -- telling reporters that the Democratic presidential nominee is trying to "pin" the scandal on him.

The New York Times reported last week that Clinton told the FBI that Powell detailed to her his email practices under George W. Bush. The paper cited a passage from an upcoming book about Bill Clinton’s post-presidency that read, “Powell told her to use her own email, as he had done, except for classified communications, which he had sent and received via a State Department computer.”

Powell, in response, said in a statement he only sent her a memo about his email practices and had no recollection of this conversation with Clinton.

He elaborated on that statement to The New York Post, saying “The truth is she was using it (her personal email) for a year before I sent her a memo telling her what I did.”

He added that, “her people have been trying to pin it on me.”

When in doubt, blame the black man. Clinton is such a strong progressive.

Unfortunantly people with this viewpoint and are in abundance on both sides of the argument.

A race war isnt as far fetched as you'd like to believe.

Good point, only progressive white dudes who grew up in poverty have legitimate opinions about race.
