Hey reeps, you do not seem to know that Bill Clinton was actually one of THE most successful Presidents, for example last one to get the finances to balance & get debt sorted.....plus everything else he did.
He survived scandal because he was so good at the job.
The little gnome guy, what's his name, ah yeah, Dobbie Sessions - who would trust him as your lawyer???
NOBODY
He is scared of questions, aww poor wittle guy, and don't go too fast that scares him too.
Anyone could whip the little wimps arse....
Anyway...here is why Trump is there, DUMB AMERICANS, think choc milk comes from brown cows, but even more have no clue it even comes from a cow!
Nearly half of Americans don’t know where chocolate milk comes from and 7 per cent think it comes from brown cows
SEVEN per cent of Americans — about 16 million people — believe chocolate milk comes from brown cows.
Nearly half of them, 48 per cent, didn’t know where chocolate milk came from at all.
A new survey by milk industry body Innovation Center of US Dairy uncovered the startling statistics in a survey of more than 1000 American adults.
For those playing at home, chocolate milk is simply the product of cocoa and sweetener being added to regular, old white cow’s milk, but we all knew that, right? Right?
While dairy milk has become a bit of a nutritional whipping boy from the paleo fanatics in recent years, the survey showed that it remains one of the country’s most widely consumed beverages.
Just five per cent of those surveyed said they abstained from drinking cow’s milk and a further six per cent admitted to leaving the house before 6am to pick some up for breakfast.
More than a third of respondents, 37 per cent, admitted to swigging milk straight from the container, while 29 per cent admitted they use their kids as an excuse to buy chocolate milk for themselves.
But despite nearly one-fifth of the country’s 50 states having cattle populations that outstrip the human population and agriculture being one of the country’s biggest industries, the Washington Post reported Americans remain largely ignorant of where much of their food comes from.
According to the Post, one Department of Agriculture study commissioned in the early ’90s, found that nearly one in five adults did not know that hamburgers are made from beef.
Given mocking America is so hot right now — if our Prime Minister can mock their President, then it’s a free-for-all — here are some results from other surveys that reveal some head-scratching statistics.
1. In 2002, a National Geographic survey of Americans aged between 18 and 24 found just 51 per cent could locate New York on a map. Nearly a third (29 per cent) did not know where the Pacific Ocean was.
2. Five years after the worst terrorism event in their history, the September 11 attacks, a Washington Post survey found 30 per cent of Americans did not know what year it happened.
3. More than a quarter believe the sun revolves around the Earth, according to a 2012 survey of 2200 Americans undertaken by the National Science Foundation.
4. A third don’t believe in human evolution, according to the Pew Research Centre, the vast majority of whom believe in creationism, or that “a supreme being guided the evolution of living things for the purpose of creating humans and other life in the form it exists today.”

The parents do
Investigated for what?
And no, there is no law against private citizens chatting to Russians.
A tree branch!!!!???!!!hu.....Law is more like a kick up the arse than a lovely tree
So if there was an investigation and it proved that the clinton foundation had actually helped more people and given more back to society than Donald Trumps charity has I am not sure how that will help Donnies reputation at all.
And Same with wall st ties - lets look at all of Trumps wall st ties if we are looking at the clintons and see who comes out the cleanest.

because the government should be looking after it's citizens, not corrupt charities where ninety percent of the donations go into the greedy people who are running the charities hands.

Talking like a FINE YOUNG SOCIALIST.....and anti American.......your big gov anti charity talk is the opposite of American ideology
If the government gives a charity a budget to run a program they have to provide regular reports (quarterly/6 monthly and very detailed) and evidence and proof of the number of clients they are helping, and the outcomes that they are producing. They also need to account for every cent of money they use.
Yes some will go to staffing costs, but staff in charities get paid significantly less than what they would get paid if they were working in a corporate environment. There will also be many volunteers that take no salaries at all.
There will of course need to be some administrative fees - people need to have computers and paper and stationary etc to work, and they may need to travel to attend training to learn how to do their job properly especially if they work alone at a site in a remote are of Australia. Of course money also needs to be spent on the database to capture the information for the data for the reports for the government to prove the effectiveness of the program to get more funds too.
This amount is all calculated when a charity requests money for the program to start with.
Australia has a Charity register (ACNC) and any charity that does not meet government and tax requirements or there are any issues a charity can be investigated and they can be de-registered.

yeah, still, i don't trust them.
The world must be interesting through your frame of view - one where all charities are evil who never help anyone and Trump is a savior.
But I have seen actual evidence with my own eyes of the good that some charities can do, and read and seen the data to support what I have seen, so my frame of reference is going to be very different. I don't know if you will ever change your mind about this but I hope one day you do. Government departments will always outsource the running of these programs to charities because charities will run them much more cost effectively than the government department will, and local people will often not want a government department directly there to work with - a local organisation with local people is much better received by the community.
Yes this world has some morally corrupt people in it who have no qualms in running dodgy corrupt charities, but that is the minority (just like religion and politics I can't hold it against everyone what a few dickhead extremists do).
