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.
I hate trump for all of his corruption. But holy shit she's no better
Now do the same for political donations and PACs
Any of her “definitely worth it” speeches, too.

My brother in Christ, there are a thousand other threads about Trump being corrupt full of people lamenting Trump being corrupt.
But this post is like hearing Al Capone chastise Pablo Escobar over organized crime.
I feel like thats an insult to Al Capone, he ran a soup kitchen during the Depression.
What is your point? Lemmy is full of Trump criticism. It's the norm. One thread shitting on Hillary won't change that.
If you're a Qatari prince, $400m is trivial. If anyone would give a genuinely free jet, they would.
That being said, this one is not a gift. It's manipulation. Stroke Trump's ego and pretend you like him and he'll do whatever you want, as long as you make him think it's his idea.
He's already excluded gas and oil from his stupid tariffs. And his family's heavily invested in SA. So, yes.
Hillary is just jealous she has to hide and do it slowly for years whereas Trump doesn't give a single fuck and do it the obnoxious way for 2 times more money.
I would think that Hillary having some experience in accepting bribes, would know...
So idk why everyone is doing the pot/kettle thing (with various wordings). She's speaking from experience.
Corruption is probably one thing that Hillary knows about, and she's calling it out. Doesn't mean she's any less guilty of being bribed, not does it mean that this isn't a bribe for Trump, nor does that mean we should be unhappy at Trump and not unhappy at her for them both doing it.
My point here is, why not both?
Nothing wrong with speaking from experience.
I would really appreciate this twisted timeline we're in featuring the Clintons openly acknowledging that they know how corruption works from experience as a way to derail the current corruption train that we're all tied down in front of. The writers need to demonstrate that they haven't completely lost the plot or I'm cancelling my subscription
Oh no, better stop being nakedly corrupt Trump or you might get sLaMmEd again
The Clinton campaign and Democratic National Committee called for using far-right candidates “as a cudgel to move the more established candidates further to the right.” Clinton’s camp insisted that Trump and other extremists should be “elevated” to “leaders of the pack” and media outlets should be told to “take them seriously.”
She may not be playing now, but I feel it's fair to point out that Hillary has played some stupid games - the American people reap the stupid prize.
Why hasn't she simply had Trump murdered like all of the other people shes had murdered?
People skeeting stuff.
