When I looked into it, it seemed more gray than I expected so I haven't been going out of my way to defend Bill on it.

This isn't some kind of pension that all presidents equally get, its some kind of program to preserve the dignity of ex-presidents who need money for something. You apply, tell the government what its for, and I don't know what the criteria is but they either say no or they say yes and cut the check. The problem here is that Bill Clinton apparently took out a LOT more money from this program than other ex-presidents have, even though he's giving 7-figure speeches. So, I'll wait for people smarter than me to figure it out and whether Bill was being reasonable or not. There's nothing illegal here.

my questions (not directed at you, just in general) are 1) how much would setting up a server like that even cost (still not great either way, but curious) and 2) lmfao @ anyone getting pissed an ex president got a check cut to help the world

Favorite fantasy right here: the media continues downplaying the large margins in the polls, and that effect combines with this level of outspending, the GOTV efforts, and the demographic shifts in America. As a result Trump's supporters don't show up, the cumulative effect puts Clinton closer to +15 than +10, and the bloodbath is unlike anything imagined. I would say it has the same chance of happening as a Trump presidency, which is a fairly positive outlook on things.

It's not a pension as such - he can request funds to live ex-presidentially. It's still perfectly legit, but had he not requested the money for that then it would not have been given to him.

It's an FEC requirement to publish your monthly fundraising numbers. You have until I think the 20th of the month to publish the preceding month's.

Hillary did it on the first because she's bragging and wants to put pressure on Trump to release his. A number this big has the added benefit of getting the media talking about SOMETHING positive about her campaign.

He got the money because despite some legitimately questionable behavior the Clinton Foundation is up there with the Bill and Melinda Gates' Foundation as the most effective and active in the world.

Homeless Friend posted:

Just ask in GIP or some poo poo, it's basically a statement which is worded wrongly but the spirit of it isn't totally untrue. Perfect campaign line in other words.

A lot of poo poo is old and outdated. Plus the entire "War on Terror" has taken a massive toll on it and we used up a bunch of supplies and stock. But it's still better than anything anyone else has. It's an issue that's a non issue for the most part.

It's like me saying my gaming computer is outdated and depleted. Technically that's true! It's only a hexcore with 32gb of ram and dual 980ti's and there's faster stuff out now. It's seen a lot of use, and it could use some new coolant in the water loop, replacement key caps on the mechanical keyboard, new mouse feet, new headphone ear pads, wash of the mousepad, a can of compressed air, and a good file cleanup and reimage. But it's still an asinine thing to worry about because it's more than enough for anything I throw at it and the actual issues can be fixed for minor cost if I bother to deal with them. So saying it's outdated is making an issue out of a non issue to justify burning more money that I don't need to.
