Partisan Hypocrisy Is Often Shameless

I debate some rather rabid right wingers on another forum, and for months they've been screaming... without evidence, that the Clinton Foundation (CF) was the Clinton's slush fund. Some go as far as to accuse the Clinton's of stealing from it. They come to this conclusion from the dishonest combination of Hillary's statement that they were "dead broke" when they left the Whitehouse... and bogus numbers that the CF only pays out 7% of donations. Poof! In the minds of the Orwellian Right... the Clinton's have been stealing the money. (Let's sweep under the carpet those financial statements that prove the Clinton's money came from book deals and speaking fees. As for being broke it was because of all of the legal bills leftover from the GOP's attempt to impeach Bill Clinton.)

And yet... I'm sure they are doing everything they can to dismiss Trump's very REAL theft of money from his foundation.

They are scared to death of terrorism and, and think everyone needs to own 20 guns for protection, yet they are willing to risk the entire world by putting a crazy, narcissistic liar in the White House.
