I seem to recall a video that fracking was advertised to Obama as being this ultra safe thing when it wasn't.

quote:

Three Enbridge lobbyists contributed to Clinton�s campaign. While she was Secretary of State, Clinton signed off on the Enbridge pipeline (the alternative to the Keystone XL pipeline).

Ben Klein (Heather Podesta and Associates) lobbied on behalf of Oxbow Carbon on petcoke and other issues. Petcoke is a byproduct of refining. Communities in Detroit and Chicago have complained about piles of petcoke blowing into the community. Bill Koch (the estranged brother of Charles and David) owns controlling interest of Oxbow. Klein also lobbied on restrictions of ivory imports for Oxbow.

Fracking company and gas industry trade association lobbyists have also contributed to Clinton�s campaign, including Former Rep. Martin Frost (D-TX), who lobbied for the Domestic Energy Producers Alliance, and Martin Durbin of the American Natural Gas Association (now merged and part of the American Petroleum Institute � API), the nephew of Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL). Another donor is Elizabeth Gore, a lobbyist for WPX energy (fracking). A lobbyist for FTI Consulting, creator of an industry front group called Energy In Depth, also contributed to Clinton�s campaign. Although Clinton has said she would require FERC to consider climate change before granting any new gas pipeline permits, she recently told activists she would not ban fracking as president, and has a pro-fracking track record which has been well-documented by numerous groups, including pro-Clinton Super PAC Correct the Record.

Mary Streett, a lobbyist for BP, gave Clinton�s campaign the maximum allowable amount ($2700). Her sister, Stephanie S. Streett, is the Executive Director of the William J. Clinton Foundation and former executive director of the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation (Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation, 990 report 2013). The Podesta Group (Tony Podesta) also lobbied for BP, on issues including the Gulf of Mexico spill response and recovery.

While Secretary of State, Clinton pushed fracking in countries around the world, through the department�s Global Shale Gas Initiative. According to Grist, after the Bulgarian government signed a five-year deal with Chevron, major public protests led the Bulgarian parliament to pass a fracking moratorium. Clinton traveled to Bulgaria and then dispatched her special envoy for energy in Eurasia, Richard Morningstar, to push back against the fracking bans, which were eventually overturned.

Clinton�s State Department played a major role in negotiating a bilateral oil agreement with Mexico. Her former special envoy for international energy affairs, David Goldwyn, has donated the maximum allowable amount to the campaign ($2700). Although neither he nor his firm (Goldwyn International Strategies LLC) report lobbying during 2015-2016, since leaving the State Department Goldwyn has consulted for companies wishing to profit from Mexico�s decision to allow private oil services contractors into the country in order to expand PEMEX�s ability to produce shale oil and tap deep offshore reserves.

David Leiter (ML Strategies lobbyist for Exxon and a Clinton bundler), the former Senate chief of staff to John Kerry, is also a lobbyist for Burisma Holdings, a private Ukrainian natural gas and uranium mining company with many connections to the Democratic Party. Biden�s son Hunter joined Burisma�s board in 2014, right before Leiter was hired to lobby members about the role of the company in Ukraine (arguing for its role in helping Ukraine be independent of Russia). Another board member, Devon Archer, is a Clinton donor (2700). FTI�s Lawrence Pacheco does communications for Burisma. Burisma is owned by a Cypriot holding firm, Brociti Investments Ltd, which is controlled by Nikolai Zlochevskyi, a former Ukrainian government minister.

Although Clinton has said she supports an investigation into Exxon�s early concealment of what it knew about the risks of climate change and subsequent financing of climate denier front groups, her campaign has taken contributions from at least seven lobbyists working for Exxon, including one in-house lobbyist � Theresa Fariello � who has bundled and additional $21,200 for the campaign.

Hess lobbyists from Forbes-Tate (Daniel Tate, Jeffrey Forbes, George Cooper and Rachel Miller) all gave maximum allowable contributions to Clinton�s campaign. The firm lobbied on behalf of the Hess Corporation, on crude by rail and crude exports. Hess owns rail cars that came off the tracks and caught fire after a BNSF train derailed in North Dakota in early May 2015. Hess is the third-largest oil producer in North Dakota. Lynn Helms, a former Hess executive served as ND�s top oil and gas regulator at the Department of Mineral Resources between 2005 and 2013. When Clinton came out in opposition to the Keystone XL pipeline, she started talking about how fixing train tracks would create jobs. In December 2015, a couple of months after Clinton announced she opposed Keystone XL, and just over a month after Obama rejected the pipeline down, Warren Buffett � who owns BNSF � endorsed Clinton. Buffett is also a big oil investor (e.g. Phillips 66).

Companies invested in LNG projects with lobbyists that have given to Clinton�s campaign include Freeport LNG (Elizabeth Gore � Brownstein Hyatt, $500); LNG Allies (Michael Smith � Cornerstone Gov. Affairs � 2700 and a bundler of $59,400); Dominion Resources (Tom Lawler � Lawler Strategies, 2700); Oregon LNG (Robert van Heuvelen VH Strategies � 2700). Exxon also has LNG projects. Cheniere Energy�s Ankit Desai not only gave the maximum allowed, but also bundled $140,400 for the campaign. Another donor ($2700) to Clinton�s campaign is Heather Zichal, Obama�s former energy advisor, who joined the board of Cheniere (LNG export company) after leaving the administration.

Former Rep. Richard (�Dick�) Gephardt�s firm lobbies for Peabody Energy (coal), Prairie State (coal-fired power plant and adjacent mine), Ameren Services Co. Gephardt and his wife, son and daughter Chrissy all contributed the maximum allowed to Clinton�s campaign (Dick is the only fossil fuel lobbyist in the family). Gephardt, a Democratic Party super delegate, has pledged to support Clinton. In February, the DNC rolled back its previous commitment to not take any contributions from federally registered lobbyists. Clinton�s campaign has also received contributions from lobbyists representing big mining companies � Westmoreland Coal, Arch Coal and Rio Tinto.

Hillary Clinton was "objectively better" only insofar as she masked her rank incompetence and stupidity with more conventional political language, and has endless liberals claiming "B-but she's a democrat! her scandals don't c-count!"

If you actually think Hillary Clinton was better than Trump, you're objectively stupid, and it's not like Trump is a high bar to clear, either. Whining about "white people" is just excuse making. She's whiter than Trump is.

Hate speech laws are cool and good, they tend to slightly mute peoples natural tendancy to poo poo where they sleep in regards to having a successful multicultural society.

We all have to work together but seeing that happen with our society so geared towards drama, conflict and scandals seems almost impossible.
