This is great. The donor class of the Democratic Party could end up behind bars after this election.
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

Ambassadorships have been sold by both parties for decades. Not new. Not unusual. Not anything to do with Hillary or Democrats.

it's almost like you are missing the point (which I know is not the case)

we have 50 days & this thing boils down to a "perception war"

That's absolutely no reason not to arrest these democratic donors and throw away the key

I remember a time in American politics when more than perception mattered.

I suppose I'm getting old.

Leftists used to admonish Bush for this pay to play program. People having no knowledge of the country they were assigned to should not be the ambassador. I wonder if the left still hold on to that view.
Kate Steinle was separated from her family permanently but leftists didn't seem to mind.

Who gets paid? The Clintons personally or the Clinton Foundation?

I've always held to the view that it is a despicable practice.

It is also a despicable practice to pretend that somehow Democrats or Hillary invented it. This is frequent tactic on the right. Republicans take things that are common practice by both sides and use the public's ignorance of said practice to pretend it is somehow an argument against their opponents.

Trump was party and none of this and is thus free to arrest the democratic progressive donors on this list and throw away the keys.

I was personally told that on the phone by a high,high level Bill Clinton admin way back in early 1996...."Perception" was the reason our solution to save tax payers close to a billion dollars and save wear and tear on personnel ....was denied...

"Perception" is everything....in politics....truth is just a moving target....

Just look at how many versions of the truth for sick Hillary's illness have been presented in the last few days and weeks....

And you have bought, swallowed and then defended every single one....

:dunno:
Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence.
