Clintons still getting away with pay for play

Krystal highlights the massive amount of money that poured into Neera Tanden's CAP think tank and many of them gave the money to have a massive in with the thank gawd it didn't happen Hillary Administration. During her tenure as secretary of state she took gobs and gobs of millions from foreign governments, foreign companies and just about anyone who wanted her to intervene with their business before the state department. She gladly complied.

After she lost the foundation lost all their donors because why pay to play if you aren't playing with the one your just bribed? No most donations started flowing into the McCain foundation. Gee sure would like someone, the IRS maybe, to look into these corrupt tax hiding foundations. I don't have one. Doubt I could

Remember that Comey and his FBI goons 1st looked into the Clinton Foundation in 2005 and buried all the evidence. Then did it after 2016 and of course found nothing wrong. Then Trump had Huber look into the investigation and lo and behold he found it was on the up and up. Just like Barr and Durham have in the Russian FBI farce. The grifting will continue until morale improves.

Bonus footage:

Jimmy dissects the Times Magazine article on the secret cabal that many people think was okay for democrats to do to make sure that Biden won the election. Yeah all on the up and up.

This should put paid to the debate on whether it is censorship when the social media dudes are tied to the hip of our national security agencies, but if not I am open to why not.

big club we are not part of. They are all players. Things won't change until we can change our entire system of government. Until then - this is the government we have.

@Raggedy Ann

can people at least explain what it is about or some type of synopsis if you're unable to excerpt it please.

Some people post a link that goes to the homepage without saying what it is we should look for to read so it is a waste of time to click on it.

Thanks in advance.

As Neera Tanden, President Biden's nominee to take over as the director of the Office of Management and Budget, sat Wednesday for her confirmation hearing, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, read aloud some reviews her former employees at the Center for American Progress left on Glassdoor over the last few years.

Graham noted that Tanden, the president of CAP, referred the committee to the reviews, some of which were far from flattering about the management at the public policy organization, even when the overall experience was considered positive ("Great experience, terrible management," one read.) "All I can say," Graham said after going through some of the negative comments, "is that this is not the unifying pick that I was looking for in this position."

Republicans like Graham weren't the only ones to raise concerns about Tanden. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the chair of the committee, joined some GOP colleagues in questioning Tanden about some inflammatory comments she previously made on Twitter. "Your attacks were not just made against Republicans," he said. "There were vicious attacks made against progressives. People I have worked with."

Sanders acknowledged lawmakers are used to such criticism, but he clarified that "it's important" to refrain from personal attacks and instead express "differences on policy." Tanden told Sanders she regrets her past remarks and will change her approach if confirmed. Tim O'Donnell

.@SenSanders says it's important to "minimize the level of personal and vicious attacks." Asks Neera Tanden if she'll have a different approach at OMB.@neeratanden: "Absolutely...social media does lead to too many personal comments and my approach will be radically different."

and lol at this:

"Absolutely...social media does lead to too many personal comments and my approach will be radically different."

I want Bwernie to tell her to issue an apology to all of his supporters that she denigrated over the years and that he will then think of voting to confirm her. Sure pipe dream.

Hawley really raked her over her tweets, but not on the corruption of CAP that shows how it is a pay to play for foreign governments to park their money and CAP will then forward their agendas. So we have foreign governments supplying graft for bribes and congress does their job while even though WE PAY their salaries including perks they will not listen to what we want.

-- last year, I believe -- that he was doing this. It wasn't Bruce Reed, but it was the one individual most distinctly calculated to piss off Bernie Sanders.

I didn't watch Blinken's hearing but from what I saw he just took off the Mike Pompeo suit off and exposed his own wishes for war crimes and crimes against humanity. He is carrying on where Pompeo left off. You vote for a guy like that then you own what he does. I think Bernie is carrying lots of blood on his hands that people don't see because they focus on his domestic policy fantasies instead of foreign policies and see that he stands with Israel on everything. I was very surprised when he voted to get Israel more bombs so they could kill more Palestinians and especially kids. How many were killed during that month of bombings as the world watched? Ran Out? Here are some more. Have fun.
