How sad.

rando says

There are plenty of people with integrity would would run and win if they could only get the financing without selling out. Publicly financed campaigns is the way to do that.

Sorry Patrick, but I disagree with you on this one. The two big parties, State-by-State, would create so many regulations and exclusionary rules, only the Party backed Insider Candidate would be able to access the funds.

"To access financing, candidate's party must have qualified to be on the ballot in the past 3 elections and collect 200,000 signatures, etc. etc."

Also, a lot of the wealth generated by doing the Corporate Will comes in the forms of speeches, board memberships, etc. after the term of office is over.

rando says

But of course no one in congress is going to vote for publicly financed campaigns, because every single one of them was elected under the corporately financed campaign system we have now.

Exactly. Since it can't be done it's not a solution.

HEY YOU says

BOYCOTT

It's hard to boycott when all of your choices are made in China, or all of them hire h1b's. That's why we need import duties and no h1b's. We should also not be importing anything from countries that use child labor, do not have or enforce environmental laws, or do not allow workers to organize.

Big surprise.

As a candidate, Trump repeatedly hammered Clinton’s charity for accepting money from Saudi Arabia and other countries that are notorious for human rights violations.

“Saudi Arabia and many of the countries that gave vast amounts of money to the Clinton Foundation want women as slaves and to kill gays. Hillary must return all money from such countries!” Trump wrote in a June 2016 Facebook post.

In tweets and public remarks, he also deemed the Clinton Foundation a “criminal enterprise” and accused Clinton of accepting pay-for-play donations from foreign governments when she served as secretary of state.

Saudi Arabia donated between $10 million and $25 million to the Clinton Foundation, according to the charity’s website — which is, at most, one-fourth of the amount Ivanka Trump’s fund will get from Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E.

Whenever I see someone wearing that red and white tarp on their head, I get hungry for pizza. Is that wrong?

Wow. That's a good haul. 4 times what the Clintons got. And the Clintons didn't do it when in office.

Or... Maybe the Arabs really wanted to support women entrepreneurs.

APOCALYPSEFUCK_is_ADORABLE says

This is Jared's commission for the discount on the arms sales, exactly as the Founding Fathers intended.

That's exactly what it is. You saw this w Clinton's arms deal and their foundation as well. Ivanka is setting up to be the next hillary clinton.

This is bullshit

Yes they did. Hillary's arms deal back in 2013? Was the biggest arms to deal at that time, CF was paid directly.

Strange that a culture that treats women as inferiors and slaves would donate $100 million towards a women's entrepreneurship fund.
It does seem like a bribe, but i doubt if any of that will go towards Ivanka personally. She has to stay clean if she is preparing to be the first female President of the USA.

I don't think SA donated while she was SOS.

They might be trying to buy into our good graces. Or Ivanka is a master negotiator.

This is not correct-is there any rule against this? very Clintonian. he should get rid of jared and ivanaka-this is not his private company.

ROTFLMAO!!!

uh yeah!

It's like the deficit: it only matters when a democrat is in office.

They ain't got no fear factories.

Some deficits are for the good, and some deficits are for the bad. When you increase deficits to take an economy out of a sluggish growth rate, it is a good deficit. When you increase deficits to give freebies to lazy losers who don't want to work, that's a bad deficit.
Another Econ 101 lesson to the socialists.

APOCALYPSEFUCK_is_ADORABLE says

This is the first time IHLlary has likely encountered a human being with female genitals as profoundly evil as she is - and I have no doubt it's insanely arousing.

My sense is that this will end with IHLlary encountering Ivanka on 34th Street brandishing a roscoe and demanding, "Death bitch, drop your laundry and present that snatch for a savage lathering and licking. You drench my face with your lady juice or you fucking die!"

I believe i could do a better job on her than Hillary, based solely on years of experience, expertise, and talent.

Yup. My weapon is fully loaded and ready to fire for the good of the country, exactly as the Founding Fathers intended.

Trickle down is in chapter 4 of Econ 101. But you would have to pass chapter 1 first. Summer classes start in June.

I'm just having fun, and disagreeing with your socialistic views. You are just too sensitive. Lighten up.

Strategist says

It's hysterical to categorize any responsive actions on the part of a supposedly representative government to the citizens instead of the wealthy as socialist. Absolutely hysterical!

I'm actually the most conservative one here.

ROFL.

jazz music says

Who wouldn't admit that this country is off the rails

I wouldn't. I think we are doing great. Unemployment is low. Our 401K's are at record highs. Our home prices have recovered.

To a World Bank Fund proposed by Ivanka, not to Ivanka herself.

The Wall Street Journal reported Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. would donate to the Women Entrepreneurs Fund, a program Ivanka Trump pitched to World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim and has discussed with several world leaders.

Why suck bankster cock when you can just wave swords with Saudis?

And therein lies her motivation. This shit lets her look good with someone else's capital. Its a power bribe.

You must know better than that. People stopped buying houses

Are you kidding. People are desperate to buy homes. They can't find homes to buy. Seems like you don't know better.

jazz music says

Participation in employment is not reported so you can say the officially reported rate is low while real employment is the lowest ever.

Really? Did the tooth fairy tell you that?

jazz music says

401ks are a good deal for employers who all stopped offering pensions

401K's are a good deal for employees. Ofcouse, the public sector unions provide a better pension by ripping off the rest of us.

jazz music says

Who wouldn't admit that this country is off the rails after all if all we can do is war and funnel money to the top.

So...you voted for Hillary? Your brain broke somewhere between inception and action.

errc, common sense tells us if you tax something=you get less of it. Tax and spend is over the top. High debt, high taxes, it's a terrible position for our nation.

I can't defend this. To me, it appears that Kushner indeed has scored a commission for brokering the arms deal. Fuck that globalist fuck!

CBOEtrader says

Great point. Before the globalization of the world wars, shitty socialist programs like social security ravaged our country, we went down the slippery slope of letting women vote, we stopped young children from toiling in factories, and Upton Sinclair wrote the Jungle, we didn't have high taxes. We didn't have any of these environmental laws getting in the way of our profits, either.
