The State Dept had to rubber stamp Russia buying some uranium from an American company or something, which obviously means Hillary personally benefited.

Not just that, but it wasn't only Hillary who rubber stamped it - there were a number of veto points along the way and no one else batted an eye.

To be clear, it wasn't Russia buying uranium, it was a Russian company buying a Canadian company that owns a bunch of uranium mines in the US.

It's literally nothing. A deal went through the state department of some Russian company buying some Canadian company that owns by proxy some of our Uranium mines. Thats it. Even if it was some secret deal it makes no sense. It's not like Russia doesn't already have uranium and stock piled nukes nor is it like now the US can't make their own nukes nor is it like we just sent over cargo ships of yellow cake. They still have to mine it and cart it out of the country. Any step behind HILLARY WAS AROUND WHEN THING HAPPENED it falls apart even more then your typical conspiracy bullshit put out by the right wing

I thought the American owned mine was in Kazakhstan and it was the Canadian CEO that gave the money to the Clinton foundation.

It's dumber than that, because neither company has/had licenses to export the uranium. It's the rights to mine and sell it in the United States.

I just know the Republican response to this is "Oh then I don't have to give a poo poo. Thanks."

When you deal with self centered people like this pulling back and refocusing off themselves usually nets you a big fat zero. Even if this comic is really good social commentary. Love it to pieces.

Just to remind everyone on the reason why Mike Lester beat his wife, it was because she was dressed to go out, and he was upset that she had been going out often. So he shoved her against the wall, which caused something to fall over and hit her in her arm and cut her.

John Oliver did a really good piece explaining the Clinton Foundation Russia/Uranium thing thirteen months ago. He starts talking about it around the 8:55 mark.
