Hillary Clinton tonight told a room full of Hollywood heavyweights that the midterm elections are very important to make sure the Democrats retain the Senate so they can move forward on “important issues like immigration reform.” What she also told the 60 or so guests in attendance is, to use some of the introductory remarks by co-chair Jeffrey Katzenberg, is “the amazing drawing power” of the former Secretary of State. A fact not lost on anyone as tonight’s event raised $2.1 million for Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, a fundraising record.
SNIP...The DreamWorks Animation boss and his wife Marilyn were joined at event sponsored by the DSCC by fellow co-chairs and big donors Casey Wasserman and Laura Wasserman, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn and Cindy Harrell Horn, and Live Nation president and CEO Michael Rapino and Jolene Rapino. Katzenberg’s political consigliere Andy Spahn and Jennifer Perry were also co-chairs. Although named on the invite that went out last week for tonight’s 6 PM starting event, Spielberg and Horn was not actually at the fundraiser. Big time Dem supporter Cindy Harrell Horn was as were the Rapinos and the Wassermans. Avengers director Joss Whedon was there, sources say. Also there was long time Democratic supporter Eva Longeria, Big Bang Theory‘s Jim Parsons and Cameron Diaz.
Wanted to put as a header, “Real Enemies List”, but it would have been changed by mods. We have got to begin focusing on the source of money for all of this evil.
> “the amazing drawing power” of the former Secretary of State.
All that proves is that you can draw as many flies with bovine excrement as you can with honey.
The Clintons are still at it...the billionaire Clintons are relying heavily on "white privilege" to get back into office. The Clintons' have benefitted from, and are climbing back into office, using privileges far beyond those of the "community of color" to whom they planned to appeal.
"White privilege" denotes the array of advantages the Clintons have cultivated over years in public office. The gold-plated, endless perks of "white privilege" include:
<><> their personal massive wealth in the $2 billion range....
<><> ownership of multiple homes in posh enclaves....
<><> unknown secret offshore bank accounts...
<><> unrevealed investment profits...
<><> the chain of high public offices they've held....
<><> privileged friends in high places....
<><> global connections....
<><> constant affirmations of their own worth....
<><> greater social status...
<><> the expansive freedoms wealth and connections provide...
<><> unlimited access to the press to speak freely.....
<><> their memoirs made millions....
<><> Dec 2000 book deal $8 million; 2014 book deal $14 mill....
<><> three tax-exempt Clinton family foundations worth hundreds of millions....
<><> Clinton foundation "endowment" skyrockets to $200 million overnight....
<><> Hillary's $200,000 speeches.......
<><> Bill's tax-paid cushy pensions/benefits....
<><> tax-paid Clinton Library (Hollywood honey Sultan of Brunei a donor).....
<><> Chelsea's paid-for $10 million uber-condo.
2016 Hillary was relying on the "income equality" bugaboo to hoist herself into office......as good a definition of "white privilege" as any. The Clintons strategy is to label others as "different" while presenting themselves as "normal."
========================================
The Clinton "normal" is couple billion dollars laying around, accumulated without ever having a real job. The Never-Enough Clintons had planned to run a populist campaign, critical of the Wall Street types”....that's after the world was informed that speaker Hillary was pocketing $200,000 a throw from Goldman Sachs.....and other corporate giants.
The Clintons went from "dead broke" to multi-billionaires in an astonishing short period of time----without holding jobs The greedy, mega-wealthy Clintons have money pouring in from everywhere without lifting a finger...said to be worth couple BILLION dollars.
Never-enough Bill/Hillary look to cash in w/ another go-round in the White House. The Clintons owe bigtime......money is pouring into their three tax-exempt foundations......and these donors expect payback.

Clintons raised $2-3 billion in two decades
The Hill ^ | July 2, 2014 | Alexandra Jaffe / FR Posted by Cincinatus' Wife
Bill and Hillary Clinton raised $2-3 billion in the two decades they’ve been prominent on the national stage, according to the WSJ.
The Journal tallied the Clintons’ speaking fees, fundraising for their foundation and the sums raised for Bill Clinton’s two presidential campaigns for the DNC while he was in office and for Hillary Clinton’s Senate and presidential campaigns.
Between $1.3-2 billion came from U.S. companies and industry sources, making up at least 75 percent of the sum — more than the 60 percent industry sources contributed to the two Bushes’ political operations.
The Journal reports that if Hillary Clinton runs for president in 2016, as expected, she could return such donors to the Democratic Party, a source of concern for Republican fundraisers as they gear up for what’s expected to be the most expensive presidential election in history.
Overall, the Clintons’ political operations raised $1.2 billion, their nonprofit drew between $750 million and $1.7 billion and they made about $100 million in speaking fees. --SNIP--
=================================================
The figures are what THE CLINTONS ALLOW us to know. DOES NOT include (1) amounts secreted in numbered offshore bank accounts,(2) investment holdings, (3) safe deposit boxes holding coins, gold, valuables, etc, (4) other holdings in real estate, businesses, (5) rental, interest accrued, investment income, etc .....
“A fool and their money are soon parted.” 2.1 mil to the biggest con artists this country has ever seen.
Now I thought the Democrats were for the “little guy”.
Hundreds of millions flow into the Clintons three tax-exempt foundations which the Clintons calculatedly morphed into hundreds of separate fund-raising machines.
The Clintons' recently formed "The Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Family Foundation" gives them even more fund-raising capabilities......w/ a friendly "family" aura.
============================================
Earlier, a NYT's expose chronicled the shady financing of the tax-exempt Clinton Global Initiative foundation.

you can peruse 276 web pages of obscure programs
all of them vehicles to raise money
all of them salivating for payback w/ Hillary in the WH.

BACKSTORY When Billy, the Boy From Hope, burst upon the political scene as a presidential candidate....he duped the voters and coached his Arkansas Mafia friends to say, “Money doesn’t mean anything to Bill Clinton"........
Now we hear he got a hundred million dollars while his wife controlled the State Dept checkbook......monies that were meant for Haiti (the place where the Clintons spent their honeymoon). Plus hundreds of millions flowing into their tax-exempt foundations which the Clintons morphed into eleven separate fund-raising machines.
BETTER ADD THIS IN, TOO News reports say the State Department announced it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors..... a special “management alert” warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.
Becoming president has a pretty good monetary return. That poor boy from Hope, Ark, made over $200,000,000.00 (that we know of) as a “public servant.”
=============================================
Lawyers Bill and Hillary have held no other jobs but “public service”---they didn't have a pot to *** in in Arkansas---didn't even own a home. But they are experts at gaming the "public service" system for themselves. The Clintons conniving has enriched them. They are now worth hundreds of millions of dollars.....and counting.
How did they make the money? In several ways.
(1) Bill's calculated moves w/ his presidential pen and official policies profited numerous cronies and entities.....who are now being hit up for donations to the three Clinton tax-exempt "foundations which they evolved into some 14 fund-raising mechanisms.....and to enrich Hillary.
(2) Bill's pardon pen was useful in pardoning diverse voting blocs which got Hillary elected to the US Senate as a prelude to her presidential ambitions.
(3) The Clintons game the system 24/7....
I'm not being flippant. I simply wonder what the Leftist see.
One of my early posts on Free Republic explained how Hillary as First Lady of Arkansas carried no cash and paid for everything with a Gold Card issued by an off shore bank. The card was paid up monthly from deposits in that off shore bank.
The ill gotten gains were spirited off shore. That was Vince Foster’s job...... bag man.
Her attraction must be purely symbolic. Of what, I'm not sure - being female, I guess.
Although I never believed in the “one worlders” until these past 6 years...me thinks that is what is the draw for leftists...they sense “power” they can be a part of thru the world known grifter H Clinton who has managed to be exhibit #1 for the Peter Principle...Leftists love power and control more than freedom (or real intelligence.) JMHO
Hollywood fits in perfectly with the Democrat Party. They are both about doing a lot of talking while doing very little and separating people from their money. It’s all make believe and make money.
The DemonRAT playbook is has used identity politics very successfully. It has the American electorate spellbound. As for Hillary, we are going to see victim feminism and difference feminism rear their ugly head. The “War on Women” mantra will try to convince the electorate that Republicans want to keep women pregnant and barefooted. A strategy against this tactic is to fractionalize the feminist coalition. This pits academic women against non-academic, Jewish women against non-Jews, women of color against white women, lesbians against straight women, lesbians of color against white lesbians, mothers against non-mothers and more. Each group focused on its own identity, its own victimization which it set up in competition with others’ claims of victim status. Then you declare that you have the right answers for everyone—women as well as the men.
Democrats, the Party of the Rich.
