Kit Walker posted:If a multi-billion dollar entity is trying to give you a giant stack of cash without asking for anything in return, you take that money and put it to good use. Jfc, goons. I can understand that as an individual taking the money. That's your option. But as an already wealthy conglomerate entity you should not take money from ones who your programs fundamentally disagree with. Phone posted:OK, well go build your time machine. We'll be waiting for you on the Alternate Timeline. Critiscing it is also neccesary. And again whilst perfect is the enemy of good so is too much compromise that you aren't doing any actual good at all and legitimising bad stuff. NOt that I am saying this is what the Clinton Foundation is doing. Josef bugman fucked around with this message at 16:25 on Aug 24, 2016 |

Burning calories worrying about how evil the Clinton Foundation is or isn't seems like a colossal waste of time if you realize and recognize that while they aren't perfect, they're doing a net good. You know who burns a shitload of calories over the Clinton Foundation? People who hate the Clintons with a passion. The 20 year propaganda campaign is definitely real, and buying into their garbage lends credence to whatever batshit argument of the week they're running. No one is asserting that Hillary Clinton herself is perfect and is above criticism. There are legitimate grievances you can levy; however, using shorthand to address these problems is how reductive soundbites become "common knowledge" and weaponized.

https://twitter.com/JohnBerman/status/768467111941472256 Seems his base really doesn't like the flip on immigration Trump seems to be starting. It would be the best of both worlds, if he managed to piss off half the country by being bigoted and then piss off the other half by walking that back.

It's kind of amazing how, just when it seems like it couldn't get more obvious that Farage and his pals had no idea what they would do if Brexit passed, it gets even more obvious.

Captain Stalin posted:https://twitter.com/JohnBerman/status/768467111941472256 The 2/2 in that tweet is Steve King saying that he doesn't think that that's what is going to happen. What's going to happen is that every surrogate, every flack and Trump himself will constantly be vague about policy answers and specifics, say they will have details out soon, and continue to let people project whatever they think is good immigration policy on to him. He's trying to walk the razor's edge here.

emdash posted:PEC's Clinton November win probabilities have moved to 94%/96% I don't know if Trump's recent staff shakeup and message pivot's being reflected in any of the polls yet, but right now it seems like he's been locked into the "incorrigible fuckup" narrative. He's in a box now where everything he does will be seen as wrong regardless of practice or intent. Which is the same box Hillary's been in for decades, so I can appreciate the irony.

zoux posted:Yeah the idea that Muhammad Yusuf paid to get access to the administration is laughable, the man has a Presidential Medal of Freedom, and that was one of the first cases the AP cited, calling him "an internationally known economist from Bangladesh". Pages ago and apologies if someone else already pointed this out, but you're thinking of Muhammad Yunus (founder of Grameen Bank, Nobel Peace Prize and Presidential Medal of Honor recipient) not Muhammed Yusuf (founder of Boko Haram). Hillary better not be taking money from Yusuf.

Phone posted:Burning calories worrying about how evil the Clinton Foundation is or isn't seems like a colossal waste of time if you realize and recognize that while they aren't perfect, they're doing a net good. Some of the programs are doing good but it is also a legitimate thing to be able to complain about them. Chelsea Clinton did with the whole Hati thing. I am not sure how to balance the legitimate criticisms of an organisation with the political attacks, but I do think that there needs to be some. It's simply a problem that most people won't pick up on unless it's a political point scoring exercise by the "other side".
