Generally speaking, it starts with getting single payer healthcare, where insurance companies mostly gently caress off and die and the government pays for your healthcare through taxes (i.e. what all of the First World besides us has), combined with direct price controls on drug companies.

It's widely believed that putting Kellyanne Conway at the front of his campaign and his two-week "moderation" on immigration were an attempt to soften his image with suburban white college educated women. I'm sure he's said some bullshit about being the best for women or women loving him in the course of his campaign.

You didn't answer my question. She meets foreign state secretaries and their staff, as part of her job. That's what the original AP story said, and the data is public. So do you have a source, or not?

The whole "scandal" is that she met with these 80-somethings people as part of her job too though so why does the fact that she met other people as part of her job not count again?

In which the Clinton Foundation ignored state laws because why not:


More in the link but the tldr is the Clinton Foundation is required by New York state law to fully disclose each government/agency and its donation amount. Both the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Health Access Initiative chose not to do this, keeping $225 million secret (as in, withholding specifics of the individual contributions that totaled that amount) from New York.

CHAI spokesperson blames the NY AG, a man appointed to Clinton's Leadership Council, because they would totally fully disclose if the AG asked them too (even though it's New York law), Clinton Foundation people say it's no biggie because everyone else does it, and the NY AG people kick the can by saying they are going to clarify things soon.

I know, blah blah blah Clinton Foundation, but get ready for it to be in the news cycle. Ignoring everything else involving the foundation, purposely ignoring state law is a bad thing to do.

jesus loving christ they consulted with a loving tennessee attorney about new york law

suffice to say the reporting for "government agencies" seems to apply only funds solicited from New York government agencies

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/joint-statement-department-justice-department-army-and-department-interior-regarding-standing

quote:

The Department of Justice, the Department of the Army and the Department of the Interior issued the following statement regarding Standing Rock Sioux Tribe v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers:

“We appreciate the District Court’s opinion on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act. However, important issues raised by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and other tribal nations and their members regarding the Dakota Access pipeline specifically, and pipeline-related decision-making generally, remain. Therefore, the Department of the Army, the Department of Justice, and the Department of the Interior will take the following steps.

The Army will not authorize constructing the Dakota Access pipeline on Corps land bordering or under Lake Oahe until it can determine whether it will need to reconsider any of its previous decisions regarding the Lake Oahe site under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or other federal laws. Therefore, construction of the pipeline on Army Corps land bordering or under Lake Oahe will not go forward at this time. The Army will move expeditiously to make this determination, as everyone involved — including the pipeline company and its workers — deserves a clear and timely resolution. In the interim, we request that the pipeline company voluntarily pause all construction activity within 20 miles east or west of Lake Oahe.

“Furthermore, this case has highlighted the need for a serious discussion on whether there should be nationwide reform with respect to considering tribes’ views on these types of infrastructure projects. Therefore, this fall, we will invite tribes to formal, government-to-government consultations on two questions: (1) within the existing statutory framework, what should the federal government do to better ensure meaningful tribal input into infrastructure-related reviews and decisions and the protection of tribal lands, resources, and treaty rights; and (2) should new legislation be proposed to Congress to alter that statutory framework and promote those goals.

“Finally, we fully support the rights of all Americans to assemble and speak freely. We urge everyone involved in protest or pipeline activities to adhere to the principles of nonviolence. Of course, anyone who commits violent or destructive acts may face criminal sanctions from federal, tribal, state, or local authorities. The Departments of Justice and the Interior will continue to deploy resources to North Dakota to help state, local, and tribal authorities, and the communities they serve, better communicate, defuse tensions, support peaceful protest, and maintain public safety.

“In recent days, we have seen thousands of demonstrators come together peacefully, with support from scores of sovereign tribal governments, to exercise their First Amendment rights and to voice heartfelt concerns about the environment and historic, sacred sites. It is now incumbent on all of us to develop a path forward that serves the broadest public interest.”
