    Huh.

    I wonder if you can figure out what the difference is between the Clinton Foundation accepting donations from Saudi Arabia, while Hillary was the Secretary of State, and the front runner to be the next president, and a NYC businessman looking to do business in Saudi Arabia.

    LOL. So, why didn't they?

    Maybe they didn't get exactly what they wanted out of the emails (aka a nothingburger) or maybe they held out the really good stuff on Fucko, in order to increase their blackmail leverage on him.

    Remember, the Russians look on Fucko as a mark, a dupe, a sucker, a useful idiot, a piggy bank to be shaken again and again and again. A resource to be exploited, pumped dry and discarded.

    In other words, the way Fucko looks at any of his trading partners or correspondents in any transactional activity. Such as his voters.

    I denounce this, but any minute now, you'll be claiming that all liberals are in favor of sexual assault against Betsy DeVos.

    No he won't, he doesn't read your post. You are responding to air.

    Typical JC. So eager to take a shot at me, you don't even care if you make sense.

    First of all, he wouldn't have to read my post to try to use that Tweet against liberals. It was a comment on YF's practice of using any bad thing any liberal has ever said or done and applying it to all liberals.

    Secondly, I'm posting on the topic. Just because something is a response to someone's post doesn't mean that person is the only one who can read it.

    Finally, I've said this before. When posters go out of the way to brag about using the button, I believe they are still reading posts by the person they claim to be blocking. If YF wants to keep running like a coward, that's on him.

    Yeah, one is going to charity- regardless of what you think- and one is going into the pocket of someone who said the money was so dirty the charity should give it back. Does not matter what you think about the charity, THE POINT IS, trump said the money was too dirty for a CHARITY but he was more than willing to keep it for himself. So understand, that is what his comment refers to --not the legitimacy of the charity, the legitimacy of the money. I repeat, just to keep you focused on the point---not the legitimacy of the charity, the legitimacy of the money-- is what he was speaking about.

    Maybe he should boycott Saudi Arabia in a protest against male supremacy?

    The guy is a partner in a law firm in Texas. Can a state bar association discipline you for exercising free speech? I'm not wishing for it, but I'd be ok with it.

    Lots of people will claim they'll boycott the NFL And maybe some will. Until, of course, their team plays the Cowboys during a playoff chase.

    About the only kind of protest statement I buy is one in which the protester vows he won't go to a game or buy merchandise. I can believe that's sincere. But it's a far cry from outright abstinence.

    I'd say Texas lawyers have pretty wide latitude for what they can say.

    Not if you're (from his firm's website bio) "The quick witted, Ivy League educated lawyer with an easy going attitude and an appreciate for the arts ..."
