Geez. I really am embarrassed now when I think about the tough times they had to deal with. NOT! It's one thing to be nearly broke and in YUGE debt and seeing no light at the end of the tunnel. Then there's a circumstance where someone knows that there will be beaucoup bucks comin' in shortly. And boy howdy did the buck roll in. Not to mention the horror of possibly not being able to afford a nanny and having to raise your own kid. Kinda brings a tear to my eye. Oh, the tear is because of the bile in my throat from gagging.

Poor babies. Even back then they were spending all their money paying off bimbo eruptions?

These “journalists” bring the concept of “whore” to a whole new level of sewage.

This is so much tripe.

The Clinton’s have skirted the law for decades, always doing the dirty deal just close enough over the line to not get caught.

Chelsea, that poor thing, lives in a $12 million dollar home.

So much for these pigs.

Another blatant example of the sad state of modern journalism as noted by Tucker Carlson, below:

Tucker Carlson: the Sad State of Modern Journalism
Accuracy in Academia ^ | August 10, 2016 | Alex Nitzberg

Posted on 8/10/2016, 9:02:47 AM by Academiadotorg

Criticizing the state of modern journalism, Tucker Carlson told AIM that journalists’ obsequious behavior, blatant bias and monolithic worldview have compromised the integrity of the nation’s fourth estate.

Carlson, a member of the Fox News team and a veteran journalist who co-founded the Daily Caller, asserts that many journalists bask in the presence of “the powerful” and are “…afraid to challenge anybody in power.”

“That’s kind of exactly the opposite of what you want. I mean the whole reason that journalists have a special kind of place in American society is because they’re entrusted with this job to kind of keep the powerful honest and to speak on behalf of the population and the second they go over to the other side and start sucking up to politicians, for example, is the second they’ve betrayed that charge.”

Questioned about the media’s election coverage Carlson opined, “I don’t think by and large they have been covering it, they’ve been advocating on behalf of one candidate against another.”

He explained that regardless of the election’s outcome, the media’s advocacy has destroyed its claim to objectivity.

Pointing out that a conflict of interest will arise if Trump wins and the largely anti-Trump media must report on his presidency, he said, “ … how are they gonna cover that, the administration? Can they? Haven’t they discredited themselves?”

“By the way,” he continued, “if Hillary wins, same thing. They’ve been working for her election and now they’re in charge of telling us what her administration is doing, can we trust them with that? I don’t think so.”

Condemning the practice of journalists who air their opinions on social media accounts, Carlson noted the corrosive effect this has on the public’s trust as they can easily discover a journalist’s political leanings.

Carlson says that while he values diversity, within the modern field of journalism “ … everybody has the same experience, they’re all from the same world, they all have the same assumptions, they all went to the same schools.”

He described journalism school as an “indoctrination center” that perpetuates the lack of diversity of thought in the media industry.

” … journalism school is just another sameness factory that pumps out people with identical opinions, and by the way, it’s only accessible to a certain kind of person — the exact kind of person we don’t need any more of in journalism — affluent, entitled, activist.”

Carlson believes journalists should seek the truth, “even if it leads them into uncomfortable places and especially if it leads them to places they didn’t expect to arrive … that’s what I thought journalism was, pursuit of what’s true, of accuracy, but not just accuracy, of truth.”

Both of them had “unencumbered” law licenses at the time. And yet they were making less than $200,000 per year? That sounds like incompetence to me!

“When Her Family Needed Money, Hillary Clinton Faced Stark Choices,” Amy Chozick writes that after Bill Clinton lost the Arkansas governor’s race in 1980, money troubled Hillary. She “worried about saving for Chelsea’s college, caring for her aging parents, and even possibly supporting herself should the marriage or their political dreams dissolve.”

So the obvious solution was to become world class grifters.

Wow, so she really had to struggle and work hard to get where she is, unlike her opponent, who was born wealthy and never had to work for anything in his life. She’s one of us. /s

They started their life in an old, cold, rundown tenement slum.

This is their 2nd attempt at playing the poor card. I think it was back when Hill was Secreatary of State they played it. It didnt take lok for that to be proven wrong...theyre multimillionaires.

In another thread about this story I remarked about how robbing banks maybe have been a bit more respectable. Anybody here remember the Kim Basinger movie “The Real McCoy”? I was kind of thinking about that.

“making the equivalent of $144,000 today and had a nanny to care for their infant daughter”

I’d like to struggle to get by on one-third of $144,000 in each of the coming years.

I live on about $7,000/year.

Juxtaposed on my MSNBC front page this morning were two stories: (1) “1-in-5 Republicans Want Trump To Drop Out”, and (2) “Letters A Glimpse Into Clinton’s Struggles”. It’s been like this for weeks. You get inured to a certain degree of media bias over the years but this election it’s been so incredibly blatant that it’s getting difficult to forgive. Take names. There will be a reckoning.

“dcquiz] The couple “stretched their finances to afford” a $112,000 home — the same as buying a $345,000 house today — that was “one of the smallest houses on the block.”


In my day that would have been called a “starter home”. I have good memories of mine.

These Clintons are pathetic.

I live in Arkansas and this is such a crock. One reason for money problems is that at the time all state elected officials were still paid almost nothing. The Governor in 1978, when Clinton was first elected, was paid less than $10,000 a year. It took an Amendment to the Constitution to get the salary up and I still don't think it is much compared to other states.

So Hillary had to be the breadwinner, so she was given a job at the Rose Law Firm, at the time one of the oldest and most prestigious. She wasn't that good of an attorney, supposed to be a corporation lawyer. They made her partner, and it wasn't long before she was making a 6 figure salary and on the Walmart Board.

They never struggled and there were always wealthy donors willing to help out.

We bring in just a fraction of that today. Zero sympathy for her.

I bought one of the smallest houses on the block 15 years after her and paid nowhere near hers within the shadow of the governor’s estate. It was within our budget at the time. Today, it’s not what with what the tax assessor thinks it’s worth.

Maybe the Clintons should have stuck within a budget like the rest of us peons who don’t have nannies must. Oh, LOL, what am I thinking! They don’t know the meaning of budget.
