Spin Zone / Re: Yeah, those were legitimate philanthropic donations!
« on: January 16, 2017, 10:04:50 AM »
The Clinton Foundation being the money laundering, influence peddling, profit center for the Clintons that is does not have the influence to sell any longer.  They are laying people off, and not getting the nefarious donors lie the once did.  It is obvious to all but the hard core Progressives what exactly this organization is for.
It was a great idea though.  Donate money (lots of it) to high profile, very influential people, but it appears that you are donating to a worthwhile charitable organization.  It was a scam worthy of Bernie Madoff.

Is it me or did Lucifer just wake from a coma?

It's you.

You seem perfectly willing to condemn Trump on the flimsiest non-evidence, but give Hillary every possible benefit of the doubt when confronted with mountains of extremely suspicious conduct.

Didn't see El Chapo mentioned in any of the linked articles.

 I didn't say or imply there was.

Didn't see any illegal contributions or did I miss some?

 No one said or implied they were.

  Was there any pay to play?  I don't know.  Can you prove any?

 Who brought up pay to play?  Oh, you did.  Can you prove there wasn't any?

Anybody can "question" anything but can they prove anything?

 If proof was offered you would just say it really didn't happen. Or blame the Russians.

Did the Clinton's profit from contributions to their charitable foundation?

I no longer care if any politician is ethical or not, or has a conflict of interest and profits somehow "unfairly" from his position, as long as he fixes the economy to profit ME.  All I care about now is maximizing my old age comfort, or rather, minimizing the Hell.  If I can climb up one more rung here in the middle class, so I can afford a slightly better retirement situation, what do I care if Trump has filthy billions or filthy billions plus X?  He's welcome to it, if he can improve MY situation.  It's time for me to be selfish. I've spent my whole life being moral and ethical, and caring about other people, and caring whether a politician I vote for is honest and upright.  I may be slow but I do eventually learn, and I've finally figured it out:  NONE OF THEM ARE.  So I'm done giving a damn. The alternative to Trump was a piece of shit so deeply corrupt with a whole entourage of corrupt friends that have already done untold damage to the country, my wallet and my happiness.  If Trump too is a corrupt piece of shit, fine. He's an amateur, he can't begin to equal the damage done by the Clintons, Obama and the Democrats.

With so many on the Left talking about popular vote, I've heard some express the idea that apportioning the EVs according to the popular vote breakdown in each state was a good idea - for example, Hillary won 59% of the vote in New York, so she should get 59% of the 29 votes, rounded to 17 votes.  Trump would get the other 12.  So if that happened, what would the EV count have been?

There is a non-obvious rounding problem due to the small party candidates, sometimes rounding would not apportion all the votes.  And I think it's a silly idea, more denial from Hillary supporters so I haven't really gone forward.

Is this what you are looking for?

Further, no presidents release their college transcripts.

If you're a Republican, like GWB, some leftist releases them for you to a compliant media outlet that dutifully published them



It is in many ways similar to Obama's first (only!) Senate campaign -- when his Republican opponent Jack Ryan was forced to withdraw after Ryan's sealed divorce court records somehow were made public, exposing his ex-wife's allegations of sex club visits.  Funny how those "inadvertent" disclosures so frequently seem to benefit Democrats at the expense of Republicans, isn't it?  O_o  But I digress...

Ace, you and I have been over this ground before -- Let's be honest.  It is known fact that at one point in his career, that Obama (or those working on his behalf) touted him as "born in Kenya... raised in Indonesia and  Hawaii" (whether that was entirely factual or not).  Some will attribute that to Obama, even if he was not directly responsible, since it was incontrovertibly said about him and on his behalf to promote his early writing engagements. 

The interest in Obama's (Columbia) college records are not his grades, but that they would show that he claimed to be a foreign student (perhaps "born in Kenya" -- has a nice ring to it, eh?) in order to gain transfer admission from Occidental.   

Like the birth certificate, the significance is (was) not that Obama was actually born in Hawaii vs. Kenya.  In either case he is undoubtedly a red diaper baby raised by people who hate America which has...  err, influenced ... his world view and consequently his reign over America (blessedly short that it was) as President.  The significance of Obama's college records is that they conclusively prove (as if further proof were necessary) that he is a lying opportunist, dating back at least to his college days.

And yet it's perfectly alright for a minority of Americans to impose its will against a majority?  Got it.

Good, because that's exactly the way the framers planned it.  Forgive me if I give them more credit that I give you.  The electoral college is, in part, anti-democratic BY DESIGN.  It is more important that the successful candidate have a broad base of support throughout the country, than that any candidate be a "favorite son [daughter?]" of any one state.  So yes, California doesn't get to pick the president even if it votes 100% Democratic.

Oh, by the way, I relish your disgust if all it takes to disgust you is to exercise my constitutional right to express my opinion.

Its not the fact of the expression that is disgusting, but rather what is being expressed.  How hypocritical that you bathe in "minority rights" guaranteed under the constitution and your own precious right to free expression, but you want to trash the electoral college.  The constitution framework is a system, not a buffet. To paraphrase Prof. Instapundit on the matter of support for constitutional freedom of expression:

If you only favor constitutional provisions that are popular, you're a coward.
If you only favor those that help your side, you're a hack.

Struck a nerve, did she?

Puh-leese.  If Americans gave a $h!t about what Meryl Streep and her Hollywierd ilk thought about our (Our!) politics, then we'd be preparing to inaugurate President Hillary Clinton in a few days.

What is the LEFT's fascination with an oppressive, violent, and totalitarian regime like Cuba that abuses its citizens regularly, and keeps them in enslaved poverty?  Why do they love the Castros so much?

It is the left's blindness to reality and to nature.  This blindness allows them to believe that man is on a "progressive" course to some utopian ideal.  They've constructed a belief that the way to achieve this vision is wealth redistribution by a centralized authority.  So they keep trying, and when it fails, as it always does, they must blame anything other than themselves. The oppression, violence, etc., is either a necessary step in the journey toward perfection, or it is a result of outside meddling by others (usually white males). Their obsession results from their rage that their experiment is obviously a failure, and their scramble to rationalize why it's the fault of anything but their unnatural ideals.

Conversely, adherents to free market capitalism can also suffer from utopian idealism.  But in general, as an economic system, capitalism works far better than collectivism.  The truth is reality is fluid and capitalism recognizes that reality; collectivism does not. Society will always change around with the flow of time. The nature of man as a living organism is to behave certain ways and make constant micro-decisions for individual and group survival. Capitalism takes advantage of this reality. Collectivism tries to kill it.

Because the left doesn't understand these realities, they're doomed to constant frustration as the world keeps insisting on working the way mother nature made it, that is: individuals seek to trade at a profit to both parties.  It's the most basic of human behaviors and the left's economic theories go straight opposite of it. Because they refuse to see humans as just another working part in the whole of nature (including such horrors as killing and eating other things with faces) they suffer from internal dissonance. They can't reconcile reality with their intellectually constructed notions.  By God they will prove that their theories work if they must torture and kill every human on earth in the process.

After thinking about this a while, I realized that it's similar to the time I wrote "Moochelle" and you challenged me on it.  I thought about that, too, and realized it is because I don't respect her, and it's hard for me to use the real name of someone who, in my opinion, is neither worthy (of a position, say) or respectable (because of their behavior).  I concluded then that I supposed I should consider a person's name sacrosanct, despite my feelings about them.  I could skip titles, though, as I often do with the current person residing in the White House.

On this issue of Obama's birthplace, here is the deal.  I simply do not trust him, or any of his minions, handlers, cohorts, and cadre.  I don't trust him, or them, asechrest, sir.  Really, AT ALL.  And why should I? Look what he has done to our country!  His only memorable quote in office was a lie!

One can pontificate about this and that, that he has done, and how wonderful he is, but the fact is that his tenure has been painfully disastrous for our country.  Fareed Zakaria did a CNN special on Obama's second term, admitting that it was a disaster, but claimed that "America has failed its President.  It was not ready for his ideas." 

Well, thank God we weren't ready for the compost heap he shoved down our throats and the cloak of despair he threw over our country!  Those who TRUSTED him, and voted for him, brought it all down upon us.  I. Do. Not. Trust. Obama.

I don't trust Trump, either.  My trust has to be earned.  I am watching.

I am not a conspiracy theorist, and don't think I deserve to be called "wildly partisan" and "inconsistent."  I am not a birther.  I didn't care when it was issue, and I don't care about it now.  There were much more important reasons to be concerned about him than where he was born. 

My lack of trust in the whole leftist machine, as we saw exercised in such a WILDLY PARTISAN manner in this election, causes me to trust NOTHING that they do or say.  They have brought it on themselves, and I am not alone amongst thinking, rational people in seeing the horrific tearing away of the mask of civility the leftists managed to hide behind, before they began rioting, blaming everything but themselves, and gnashing their teeth at November 8th's REAL NEWS that there was a large swath of American citizenry who didn't trust them, either.

The far left and academics with their blinders firmly in place will never admit to anything that contradicts their brainwashing. Think about it. If you sold out to something as stupid, corrupt and rife with incompetence as the progressive agenda would you willingly admit that you got taken for the ride of the century?
Between made up data to fit the predetermined agenda driven conclusion, WRT the fake MMGW scam, to every one of Obama's criminal enterprises, and Hilary's corruption, the progressive left has simply denied, denied, denied, to the point that the rest of us simply shake our heads and laugh at their brutal stupidity.
It doesn't take a genius to know that Steingar rolls out his ignorant rants about his IQ to try and silence doubt about his closed mind and narrow vision. It's self preservation for him. He CAN'T admit to his own limitations because it makes a lie out of everything he preaches and babbles about.

Spin Zone / Re: Republicans vote to gut independent ethics watchdog
« on: January 08, 2017, 03:16:49 PM »
No, it is not simply a yes or no question. You know the answer to this question, and I know why you are asking. The answer is more convoluted than you think.

YES, CBC members in 2010 introduced a resolution to limit the power of the OCE. It had no support from House Democratic leadership, and at the proposal of the bill, twenty of the forty two members of the CBC supported the resolution. Less than half of the CBC. House Whip Jim Clyburn, a CBC member in 2010, didn't support the measure and neither did Speaker Pelosi. It never made it further than a headline or two for a day and fulfilled a week's worth of programming on conservative media outlets (I'm just spitballing on this one). The resolution died soon after introduced.

Mark I appreciate the answer but it is yes or no - that they failed or that it did not have 100% support at the time is irrelevant other than that is the same situation as the recent GOP approach, also not 100% supported, and also not successful.  Simple fact is that the first attempt to gut this office was from the Democrats themselves, 7 years ago.

The real issue is that the Dem's created OCE, in 2008, for the express purpose of weaponizing ethics investigations because it is against the law for HCOE to share details during an investigation - the only problem is, as it always has been, they expected to always be in control of everything but the OCE actually investigated ethics breaches of Dem's as well as Republicans, the CBC felt singled out and pushed for similar limitations as were recently proposed, in 2010.

There is already an office responsible for handling these types of issues (HCOE), and it actually has rules similar to the innocent until proven guilty protections we mere proles enjoy - that was not enough for the Dem's and so they created OCE thinking they could use it against Republican's by making accusations, in public.

On the DNC refusing to let the FBI look at their servers, even when the DNC makes allegations they were hacked, by the Russians no less.

That leads to one of two conclusions.  They know once the FBI looks into the servers they will find zero evidence of foreign hacking or, they may actually find some or all of those 33,000 emails that Hillary deleted under subpoena.  Or both.

It's a hard reality for the DNC that most (reasonable thinking) Americans are no longer buying their twisted narrative and fake news stories.
