Re: The Donald-thread
And let's not mention Trump's charity being closed to donations over serious concerns from the regulator.
Rationalia relies on voluntary donations. There is no obligation of course, but if you value this place and want to see it continue please consider making a small donation towards the forum's running costs.

If the quid is a donation to a charitable entity that you own, in exchange for a quo, it's still illegal.
And, for fuck's sake, if this same behavior was discovered with respect to a politician you didn't like you'd be all over it. The defense of this kind of thing from your side is pathetic. It really is.

Re: The Donald-thread
The 'let's talk about Clinton instead of Trump' aside, to an outsider this shiftiness from Clinton just looks like a politician falling prey to the persuasive power of lobbyists $$$.

Re: The Donald-thread
Perhaps, but a US president is not an absolute monarch. Yet Trump seems just as prone to the lobbyists $$$ when it comes to, say, fossil fuels and climate change denialism or gun control or corporate taxation.

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

Prediction: FBI will consider the evidence and report that it has no bearing on the conclusions of its previous report.
She might have been foolish to think that owning a domain name keeps your emails private but it's not like she was passing secrets to the Russians. This story is all cock up and no conspiracy.

Re: The Donald-thread
The FBI know their audience. This is a obvious attempt to swing the unsure gullible average American voter. It isn't for nothing they are called the FBI. They are the smart set in the scheme and always had a bit of the fascist temperament in them. Always wanted to be CIA on the inside.Brian Peacock wrote:Prediction: FBI will consider the evidence and report that it has no bearing on the conclusions of its previous report.

There is no hurry. Take 4 years to read all these new emails. Just incorporate it directly into the Jan 1 impeachment process.

I only have one, damn it all. BUT, Mrs. Lak has two, so the UK is on the menu. Swaziland is no problem, my mum-in-law is a pretty big wheel with lots of connections, and Mrs. Lak is good friends with Inkhosikati LaMbikiza, King Maswati's third wife. Her dad can get us into South Africa. Then there's Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua, we got the money (and the boat) to go there too. I ain't a-skert.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
