1. 150k is easy to forget - nt.

Just the other day I misplaced 5k in my couch.

[notadmblnd]

5. Good thing it was only your loose change.

[Juicy_Bellows]

10. I didn't even look for it.

I assume it's still there. No biggie.

[Spirochete]

50. You'll probably find it

next time you have to look for the remote...

[Juicy_Bellows]

55. Hemingsworth is hard to lose.

He is my TV lackey you see.

"Oh Hemings! Be a dear and tune into the Cartoon Network. "

[HerbChestnut]

2. Well

When you get paid $250,000 per speech then I guess $150,000 doesn't seem like a lot of money.

[mgmaggiemg]

3. that's all ?

hardly a scandalous amount in this post CU age....as the front runner she gets to tell them their support doesn't buy them anything

[CoffeeCat]

27. Hillary will now tell us that she helped the oil and gas industry rebuild after 9/11...

...and that 150k was a thank-you gift.

[mgmaggiemg]

35. lmao funny....

well you know...one thing lead to another...and .. cheers, Maggie

[hedda_foil]

38. You're joking, right? I wouldn't want people here to get the wrong impression.

They'd be too likely to point their fingers at you while rolling around on the floor while laughing hysterically at your naivete.

But if you're being serious, well ...

[mgmaggiemg]

44. not joking

and tell Bernie to keep on apologizing Cheers, Maggie

[hedda_foil]

64. Then you have a LOT of reading to do. Btw, Wikipedia is a quick reference only.

It's never recommended to consider entries there as authoritative. Stick around for awhile and you'll see.

[reformist2]

4. Sounds like they don't care who gives them money!

[TIME TO PANIC]

6. She'll "have to check on that"?

[notadmblnd]

19. Do you think she'll tell them to "cut it out?"

nt

[TIME TO PANIC]

23. LOL!

[Hiraeth]

7. ho hum. chump change to her.

[Thinkingabout]

8. $200,000 golden parachute is easily forgotten also.

[merrily]

12. LOL!

[AgingAmerican]

15. Golden parachute?

A large payment or other financial compensation guaranteed to a company executive if they should be dismissed as a result of a merger or takeover.

lol

[Thinkingabout]

16. It is also given after poor performance to get whomever to just go away.

[AgingAmerican]

17. That's called 'severence pay'

Severence pay is not a 'golden parachute' no matter how much you insist it is.

Perhaps you should think about these things before posting?

[Thinkingabout]

18. Maybe in some incidences but not always, it is given to get people out the door.

[AgingAmerican]

21. Twisting and turning in the wind

Desperate for something, ANYTHING to attack with.

[Thinkingabout]

28. I noticed that.

[beam me up scottie]

30. Did you lose yours?

[Kalidurga]

9. I can't blame her for this

when you have hundreds of millionaires and billionaires throwing money at you it's hard to keep track.

[earthside]

11. Hillary Clinton is disconnected from real people; real life.

She has been so far removed from average Americans for so long I doubt she has even the slightest clue to how us everyday Americans live.

What is a $160,000?

Oil and Gas contributions? What contributions?

What is going on in her own campaign?
Don't other minions handle that bookkeeping stuff?

When was the last time she put gasoline in a car?

When was the last time she drove herself anywhere?

Stories like this are going to get worse and worse ... Hillary is going to be like George H. W. Bush and the grocery store scanner.

[mgmaggiemg]

36. she worked for 12 years for the country without a pay check

tends to keep you humble....

[Ino]

39. Oh god, yes... she was dead broke!

Having been so poor, she's very mindful of spending, thrifty, humble...
how much Hillary Clinton relied on taxpayer funded private jets during her Senate career (hint: it was a lot)

Just hours after Hillary Clinton unveiled her presidential campaign's push to solve global warming through an aggressive carbon-cutting plan, she sauntered up the steps of a 19-seat private jet in Des Moines, Iowa.


As opposed to that haughty Sanders...

[mgmaggiemg]

40. the misogyny in Bernie's camp

has lead to his national humiliation...now instead of having the honor of losing to the first female prez he will have his nose rubbed in it on election night thanks to his campaign organization....not only will he have to keep apologizing....voters will not vote for his local supporters...and that is sad Cheers, Maggie

[Ino]

41. What misogyny? What national humiliation?

Do you have some basis for saying that?

The honor of losing to the first female prez? LOL, please

[mgmaggiemg]

42. his campaign Hacked into HRC's

DNC computer list of supporters and they got caught..who know's if he knew about it...but he had to apologize and let some staff go....

[Ino]

43. It was not hacked into.

What misogyny? What national humiliation?

Never mind, this is too ridiculous to pursue. Buh-bye.

[mgmaggiemg]

48. why did Bernie

fire his campaign people for hacking into the dnc computer?

[Kentonio]

52. He didn't.

Hacking has a very distinct meaning. This had nothing to do with hacking. People just like to use the word because it sounds more dramatic than 'looked at data they shouldn't have looked at, during an unexpected breach in data security'.

[mgmaggiemg]

54. it sounds like massaging of terms

a door or window does not open by itself

[Kentonio]

56. No it doesn't, in this case it was opened by the people inside.

That doesn't excuse the staffers who peeked through the window, but they didnt open it in the first place.

[mgmaggiemg]

57. we will have to disagree on that point

Cheers, Maggie

[Kentonio]

62. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[mgmaggiemg]

63. happy solstice to you ;)

[artislife]

46. As a Latina, I find her hispandering awful. nt

[mgmaggiemg]

47. julian castro

the housing secretary for the nation does not think so....we have a major housing crisis in our nation and he may be your next vice president....you don't like him? Cheers, Maggie

[artislife]

49. What does your post have to do with mine

You think all Latinos know each other, like each other, are the same?

Don't bother. You are going to ignore.

[elehhhhna]

53. She knows a more Latino Latino, so there.

[cali]

61. Made up shit. Lame made up shit.

[dana_b]

65. what misogyny?

What are you talking about? They pointed out that she was never broke and had the use of a private plane while Sanders rode on a public airline. Talk about grasping at straws.

[mgmaggiemg]

66. I don't know how you put up with it

it's a huge turn off, the men stuffing words into the mouths of their mothers, grandmothers, sisters, wives, daughters, aunts cousins....saying things their women would never say but silencing them by misrepresenting them....telling them with their fraudulent representations that their vote doesn't count....that misogyny ....Bernie is a great guy....it misrepresents Bernie...but his campaign attracts the misogynist demographic....it's too bad...

[artislife]

45. Great visuals! nt

[libdem4life]

13. I'll bet she finds the check stub in the bottom of her purse...that usually works for me.

Oh, there it is. Last place I looked...every time.

[CoffeeCat]

29. Bribery receipts from corrupt special interests to soulless politicians...

...tend to float to the bottom of one's purse.

She should look there.

[nc4bo]

14. I have no words.

Even the snark fails me.

[bigtree]

20. chump change

...in a sea of big money.

[kenfrequed]

22. Huh

She doesn't even give straight up opposition to offshore drilling.

She just gives answers like "I am skeptical."

Of course she gives these sort of oppositions to a lot of things.

She considered the keystone pipeline "a distraction from the fight for climate change" and that she opposed it for that reason.

She was against what she had heard some people saying about the TPP that she negotiated for years.

[CoffeeCat]

31. She's only against something, like the TPP...

...when the deal is sealed and her hollow, Ok fellas! I'm against it now!" is completely meaningless, pointless and ineffectual.

Hillary needs to enroll in Elizabeth Warren's, "How to sincerely fight for the American people like you mean it and cut the bullshit" class.

[AzDar]

24. OMG...she's ABSURD.

[FlatBaroque]

25. Operation Flat Broke turned out well. n/t

[Vattel]

26. Meh, I don't see anything here of significance.

[CoffeeCat]

32. Hillary just stepped in it...

...she shined a pretty big spotlight on the fact that she takes so much tainted, corporate bribes--that she can't even keep track of it all.

That's the appearance anyway.

Will be interesting to see how the media handles this.

[Vattel]

33. Well, one can try to develop a narrative here that makes Clinton look bad,

but the narrative is too speculative to be a basis for criticism (in my opinion anyways). To me it is more significant that her record includes some really dismally bad votes in favor of things like offshore drilling in 2006, when she voted with republicans and against most democrats (including Obama and Sanders).

[Bread and Circus]

60. Then read the article

[catnhatnh]

34. How out of touch?

For posters on this board counting on Social Security that is over a decade of income. So you can imagine how they feel about that amount being brushed off as too petty to even consider. Yeah, how does she do on that poll question "Cares about people like me"?

[mgmaggiemg]

37. great avatar.....

great quote cheers, maggie

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

51. That's chump change to "dead broke" millionaires like the Clintons.

[Hekate]

58. Because a national candidate spends every night reading the spreadsheets....

[Bread and Circus]

59. Like with a cloth or something?
