Clinton Foundation is one giant self-serving money pot under the guise of "helping hands."
As are most.. it's so annoying. I feel like handling tax issues for high net-worth individuals has totally given me no hope for charities anymore.

This country makes me laugh. Everyone is demonizing Ryan Lochte for lying and he is losing his sponsorships and will most likely be suspended from swimming but our Democratic Nominee lies about something alot more serious and people are ok with that. Whatever happens in November we are in trouble for the next 4 years.
Seriously!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Hillary...
This seems like a fairly good assessment of the Clinton Foundation.
http://www.cnn.com/2016/08/24/politics/clinton-foundation-explainer/index.html
It sounds like several charity watch organizations, and several other groups have been monitoring them, and nobody can find anything bad with the charity. From what I've read from various sources, it's one of the better charity organizations out there.

Email situation is atrocious. I don't get how anyone can overlook it. Even people here that I like and respect, I don't get how it's not a big deal.
Clinton Foundation is one giant self-serving money pot under the guise of "helping hands."
Like anything - when there's so much smoke, there's fire.
My thoughts exactly!!!!!

And the same can be said for the Donald J. Trump Foundation which has given a paltry $6 million in charitable donations in 20 years.

Re: Hillary...
For all of you saying she was cleared of the emails and she was cleared of Benghazi let me just remind you that OJ and Casey Anthony were also "cleared" for murder. So would you all be lining up to have Casey be your next babysitter? No? Why not? After all she was cleared

Yup..it's a sad sad world when we punish an athlete for a far lesser issue than we do someone who has the potential to preside over the worlds most powerful country. Money and power make the world go round..

So what are you implying? That she was in Benghazi and murdered people? Because OJ and Casey Anthony did kill people themselves. The comparison make no sense.

He's not getting suspended from swimming, and how corporations behave is not indicative of how the general public thinks (even though they influence each other). Corporations are purely looking at profit, and if they think a person will affect their bottom line, for any reason, they will cut them out. He was paid big money to be a spokesperson, and displaying a certain image for the companies. By breaking that image that a particular company was paying for, he essentially broke the contract.

It makes perfect sense. Just because someone is "cleared" of charges doesn't mean it didn't really happen.

Re: Hillary...

Because I would not be able to live with myself if I voted for Trump. Seriously, my integrity and morals and everything I believe is the complete antithesis of what he stands for. He stands for commercialism, xenophobia, bigotry, and pure unadulterated greed. He disrespects and mocks the very people he claims to represent. He feeds into the hatred of this country without shame, he represents everything that is so very wrong with our country, this world, and he enjoys every single second of it without reproach. He is a narcissistic sociopath who lacks basic communication and compassion, who lacks empathy, who feeds off insecurity, and for whom winning the presidency would just be the icing on his proverbial cake. He has no definable stances on any issues that are important to my life. I don't look at what the president will do in my lifetime, I look to what he will do that can have lasting effects on my children, my grandchildren, the future generations that won't stand a chance if eh is elected. He has not one shred of decency, let alone experience, and in good conscious I will never, ever support him.
Hillary is no angel. I know that. The email scandal IS a big deal - I am not denying that. But when I look at the big picture of her platform, her four decades of experience, her ability to effectively communicate, her polished and professional appearance, the fact that the GOP literally drags her through the mud and has launched investigation after investigation only to come up emptyhanded, her singular perseverance in spite of being torn down at every turn, she is a ******* badass. She is a politician for everything good and bad that stands for - but she is real and authentic and she's not sitting around pouting and getting into Twitter wars! Twitter wars! I mean, how the hell do you even compare her to Trump when he goes on a social media tirade? It's downright laughable. She has a solid platform of issues, and waffling and changing stances is simply par for the course (lest you all forget, politics is a game) but AT LEAST SHE HAS THEM. Oh, let me support this blowhard dude with a bad toupee even though I have no clue what he's gonna do for us, but yeah MURICA BUILD THAT WALL TRUMP! She has literally built her career on clawing her way into a boys club that is terrified of her - terrified of her abilities, terrified of her femininity, terrified of change, and she still doesn't give a shit.
It's a g-damn shame that the GOP has ripped her to shreds for thirty years but she hasn't given up. And that's why they round up all sorts of concocted conspiracies and she still prevails. And it's even more a shame that people who get their info from Breitbart and Bill O'Reilly and Nancy Grace cannot even see the disgusting double standard that exists between her and Trump.
He can mock the disabled.
He can race bait.
He can spew hatred and vitriol.
He can have no experience and lack morals and yet somehow be the golden child of the moral right?
And no one bats an eye.
So yeah, that's why I'm voting for Hillary. She is not perfect, but she doesn't stand for everything that disgusts me with this country.
ETA: No, I am not angry that she did not go to Louisiana. Like others have said, diverting necessary resources away from the community to a presidential nominee IS WRONG. I am not persuaded by these staged photo ops that show Trump pretending to do good down there. He doesn't really care - he just wanted to look good. I am not blinded by this kind of fakery.
Show me one politician who has never lied.
How many Republicans have been involved in sex scandals, fraud, kickbacks, and charged with crimes while maintaining their "religious and moral superiority?"
Trump has pocketed nearly $8m of political contributions for his business and personal use - why no outrage there? Why no outrage on his failed businesses? Why no outrage on Halliburton and Cheney and the war in Iraq that was created purposely to line their pockets? Don't come for Hillary unless you can answer those questions.
I think I love you

I probably won't ask Hillary to set up an email server in my basement, but to compare it to actually murdering people and getting off is kind of a stretch.

We all know it really happened. I still don't see how there is any similarity between people who willfully committed murder and someone who was one of many people tasked with keeping the Embassy safe. I don't think it's fair to say she should bear all of the blame, and she certainly did not intend or want Americans to die. Suggesting so is ludicrous.
