Since it appears we have reached the point where too many Americans believe things like Hillary is running a child sex slave ring on Mars ...

Nobody believes that - there's no money for the Clintons to be made running a child sex slave ring on Mars - besides, Bill would be more likely to pay to ride the Lolita Express.

Hell, remember the effort the US made to land the 2022 World Cup? The US sent Bill Clinton and Eric Holder to FIFA.

FIFA picked Qatar.

Holder got even, but, to the surprise of absolutely no one, Bill Clinton got paid (from the pages of the Clinton Foundation itself!).

Step 1. Underallocate resources to a district containing voters of the wrong team. Step 2. When voting lines are huge and many voters are turned away, blame the voters themselves for the long lines because they are unprepared and undeserving of a vote.

You apparently can't read. I strongly oppose both those things. Where we disagree is the means of preventing it. You propose giving the federal government more and more control, and redistributing money. I'm saying: this is a local and state problem, and it needs to be solved by local communities and states.

There is something the federal government can do: outlaw voting machines and mandate paper ballots. That lowers costs, means districts merely need more volunteers, and reduces the ability to commit widespread fraud. Instead, organizations like the Clinton Foundation have been getting in bed with voting machine manufacturers.

Step 3. Use your newfound political power to apply this tactic on a national level and systematically rig the system to end democracy.

Actually, that is exactly what you are proposing, namely by giving the federal government more and more power relative to local and state government. You invent all sorts of fanciful injustices and purposes to justify that. That's how the federal government gets its "newfound power" to corrupt democracy in the first place: people like you give it that power. It's textbook fascism.

Hopefully that's not too vague for you. But it is repulsive to me.

You're a repulsive fascist prick, compounded by the fact that you don't even realize it. I hope that is not too vague for you.

Avoid trump.edu

Come to think of it, avoid donaldjtrump.com as well. Total scam. Preys on the underemployed and under-educated

That's why I only trust https://www.clintonfoundation..... They only prey on greedy CEOs and corrupt officials from foreign nations, they don't go after the small people.

Regarding investigating the Clinton Foundation, there has been substantial leaks about their financial shenanigans that seem to be underreported, see: https://www.clintonfoundation....

In addition to the foundation's annual reports, Charity Navigator also reviews their independently audited financial statements and 990 forms, here. You'll need to move on to the foundation lying to the federal government and buying off the auditors.

You claim that I made up those statements

No. From the start I said maybe you didn't made up those statements. Right from the start I claimed it was either you making it up, or that you quoted someone. But you keep claiming that i said you made it up. I never claimed it was you, I claimed it was you or someone else (duh), but you keep putting words on my mouth.

If you cannot mount a compelling case (...) then you don't have a case, and HRC is presumed innocent.

If you look for information yourself, the chances of getting an understanding of things and believing your understanding is better. I wrongly assumed you wanted that and not just an excuse to say she's innocent. That's why the nudge and not the links list. So here is the case.
Benghazi:
Search terms on youtube: Hillary Clinton Benghazi (as stated before), but you refused to search .
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaENYYQIAKE (this is a short one with some points);
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUObFqU5cgE (another one focused on the troublesome parts);
full hearing.
On supporting terrorism:
Hillary's email saying Qatar and the Saudis are financing terrorism
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL - not directly related to Clinton but important to understand ISIS;
Military intervention in Syria email from 2011 - also not Clinton, but to give an understanding of what the "moderate rebels" the USG under Obama supports are supposed to do ("commit guerrilla attacks, assassination campaigns, try to break the back of the Alawite forces, elicit collapse from within");
The three above are to make it explicit that everyone (in her circles) knows who the Saudis are and what the regime change the US is pursuing does to people. It is common knowledge.
Clinton Foundation Donors Got Weapons Deals From Hillary Clinton's State Department;
Contributor and Grantor Information from Clinton Foundation the Saudis donated between 10 and 25M;
Qatar giving 1M to Bill Clinton (Qatar, the ones she says are financing terrorism);

The secret information mishandling should be one of those clear cut cases of too powerful to answer to justice. They clearly said that the reason they would not prosecute was lack of intent, not lack of proof it was done.
Rep. Gowdy Q&A - Oversight of the State Department (short video)
The actual FBI statement on the case. They didn't say she didn't commit the crime, just that no prosecutor would prosecute. They also explain what the crimes would be in the case ("Our investigation looked at whether there is evidence classified information was improperly stored or transmitted on that personal system, in violation of a federal statute making it a felony to mishandle classified information either intentionally or in a grossly negligent way, or a second statute making it a misdemeanor to knowingly remove classified information from appropriate systems or storage facilities."). That's why sometimes we are not sure what the crime is. Because US law is overly intricate.

how did the database of donors for The Clinton Foundation get stolen?

Why wouldn't a charitable it-takes-a-global-village foundation publicly list its donors? So it's closely connected to the Sec of State and, um, never mind.

According to their financial report:

https://www.clintonfoundation....

They had $95 million in payroll, $12 million of which is for management (pg 22). Lower down it lists out specific people's payroll amount, and lists all three Clintons as $0.

All the prior years are available as well, but I don't particularly have the time to go through them all.

https://www.clintonfoundation....

Interesting reading though. It is interesting that Chelsea works 20 hours a week for the foundation, but they don't pay her anything. I would expect her to get some kind of salary, but I guess she has other funding sources.

Hmm... maybe someone should start up a spin-off called LobbyRoad where politicians can meet to trade kickbacks and favors in an anonymous setting?

Done & done.

The current administration took a Zippo to the envelope, said "fuck you and your stupid envelope," and called us terrorist sympathizers, traitors, and actual terrorists if we complained.

The previous president -- not just his administration -- called his political opponents terrorist sympathizers. The only difference back then was that 90% of the mainstream media voted for him, so they were more than happy to go along with his program.

"But I also know there have been lawbreakers among those who espouse your philosophy... The people who came to the United States to bomb the World Trade Center were wrong.... How dare you suggest that we in the freest nation on Earth live in tyranny.... There is nothing patriotic about hating your country, or pretending that you can love your country but despise your government." (May 5, 1995)

and

"But do not condemn people who work for the government. That's the kind of mentality that produced Oklahoma City." (June 1, 1995)

and

"We recognized, once again, that we can't love our country and hate our government." (December 31, 1995)

Funny how a lot of the people who are outraged now were (at best) not paying attention then.

What we now call "patriotic dissent" used to be "hate speech that encourages terrorism."

Because it's the right-wing that's full of hate.

[How come I have the feeling that many people complaining about Bush just lapped this stuff up in the mid-1990s, and craved more?]

Replying to self, I know, but I found a copy of a November 1996 executive order in Clinton's Presidential Library site that contradicts the GP. http://www.clintonfoundation.org/legacy/111596-exe cutive-order-13026-on-crypto-export-controls.htm

" In 1995, Hussein Kamal, Saddam's son-in-law, and the chief organizer of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program, defected to Jordan. He revealed that Iraq was continuing to conceal weapons and missiles and the capacity to build many more.
Then and only then did Iraq admit to developing numbers of weapons in significant quantities and weapon stocks. Previously, it had vehemently denied the very thing it just simply admitted once Saddam Hussein's son-in-law defected to Jordan and told the truth. Now listen to this, what did it admit?
It admitted, among other things, an offensive biological warfare capability notably 5,000 gallons of botulinum, which causes botulism; 2,000 gallons of anthrax; 25 biological-filled Scud warheads; and 157 aerial bombs.
And I might say UNSCOM inspectors believe that Iraq has actually greatly understated its production.
As if we needed further confirmation, you all know what happened to his son-in-law when he made the untimely decision to go back to Iraq. "
Speech to the JCS - Feb 17, 1998

"Iraq has failed to provide a credible explanation for UNSCOM tests that found anthrax in fragments of seven SCUD missile warheads. Iraq has been claiming since 1995 that it put anthrax in only five such warheads, and had previously denied weaponizing anthrax at all. Iraq's explanations to date are far from satisfactory, although it now acknowledges putting both anthrax and botulinum toxin into some number of warheads.
Iraq's biological weapons (BW) program, including SCUD missile BW warheads, R-400 BW bombs, drop-tanks to be filled with BW, spray devices for BW, production of BW agents (anthrax, botulinum toxin, aflatoxin, and wheat cover smut), and BW agent growth media, remains the "black hole" described by Ambassador Butler. Iraq has consistently failed to provide a credible account of its efforts to produce and weaponize its BW agents. "
Presidential Letter to Congress on Iraq - Nov 6, 1998

"Dear Mr. Speaker: (Mr. President:) Consistent with the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution (Public Law 102-1) and as part of my effort to keep the Congress fully informed, I am reporting on the status of efforts to obtain Iraq's compliance with the resolutions adopted by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). My last report, consistent with Public Law 102-1, was transmitted on December 18, 1998.

In a January 25, 1999, report to the U.N. Security Council President, UNSCOM identified as a priority chemical weapons disarmament issues: VX, the 155mm mustard shells; the Iraqi Air Force file of chemical weapons documents; R-400 bombs filled with CBW (field inspections needed); and chemical weapons production equipment (field verification is needed for 18 of 20 shipping containers UNSCOM knows were moved together). On monitoring, the report identified as priorities the ability to verify Iraqi compliance at listed facilities and to detect construction of new dual-use facilities.

In its January 25, 1999, report to the U.N. Security Council President, UNSCOM identified the following as priority missile disarmament issues: 50 unaccounted SCUD conventional warheads; 500 tons of SCUD propellants, the destruction of which has not been verified; 7 Iraqi-produced SCUDs given to the army, the destruction of which cannot be verified; truckloads of major components for SCUD production that are missing; the concealment of BW warheads; and the lack of accounting for VX-filled war-heads. The report identified as priorities the capability to monitor declared activities, leaps in missile technology, and changes to declared operational missiles. There are 80 listed missile sites."
