    The same rate of return you get when donating to the Salvation Army on the street corner.

    Okay. Well, if you can point to any policies that were the result of their donations, let me know.

    Like I said, smart rich people continue to spending money without results. Everyone knows that.

    You're either trying to be funny or too dense to understand the "dip$hit" could only apply to your mistake-in-chief. Despite your posting history indicating the latter, I'm going to go with the former and presume you were trying to be funny.

    I have to say it's been extremely entertaining to watch the rapid transformation of wingnuts into criminal justice activists. Orange Lives Matter!

    Like I said, if you are claiming they got policy results, I'd like to know about it. Anything else seems like speculation. It seems like the most that can be said is that perhaps their donations gave them a chance to talk to one of the Clintons to plead their case? That is certainly shady and unfair. But the end result is that the charity that does a lot of good for people gets money and unless you can point to a specific policy that resulted from any access, then you are just speculating.

    I don't have to claim anything because I'm not naive. And this isn't a democrat/republican thing for me. I hate all campaign contributions that are not from individuals. As for doing good, well it did a lot of good for Bill Clinton's library.

    I am not concerned about Democrat or Republican regarding this either. I am taking a person's speculation vs. evidence-based judgments and facts. If you are saying that there was favorable policy as a result of donations from the Clinton Foundation simply because that sounds likely to you and feels right, but not based on actual evidence it will carry less weight than if you had some evidence of a policy that was the result of such donations.

    The continued donations are enough evidence for me. Would you keep donating if it did nothing for you? I mean c'mon we're talking about Saudis here don't be naive.

    It's always been all about the hats, thank you for recognizing it.

    I'm not @Commodore but I approve of this message.
