Watch him switch parties and become a left wing hero,
This article doesn’t mention the number one item on the uniparty agenda: amnesty.
See tagline.
Good one. : )
After Obama’s Executive Orders, after Obama's failure to enforce existing immigration laws, and after decades of silent complicity by the GOP, I think the Uniparty already passed Amnesty.
He may be dead man walking, but his successor will be too, a clone of Boehner. For that, we can be certain of the hapless GOP representatives.
TN Republicans haven’t had anybody good since Roy Acuff ran for governor in 1948.
You may be right. In which case amnesty would just be formally acknowledging what already exists. Sort of like a death certificate.
SURPRISE GUESS WHO ELSE WAS POCKETING BIG-TIME FROM BOEING DEALS?
Clinton Foundation Donors Got Lucrative Weapons Deals From Hillary's State Dept

Even by the standards of arms deals between the United States and Saudi Arabia, this one was enormous. A consortium of American defense contractors led by Boeing would deliver $29 BILLION worth of advanced fighter jets to the United States' oil-rich ally in the Middle East.
Under then Sec-of State Clinton, the State Department approved $165 billion worth of commercial arms sales to 20 nations whose governments have given money to the Clinton Foundation, according to an IBTimes analysis of State Department and foundation data.
That figure -- derived from the three full fiscal years of Clinton’s term as Secretary of State (from October 2010 to September 2012) -- represented nearly double the value of American arms sales made to the those countries and approved by the State Department during the same period of President George W. Bush’s second term.
American defense contractors also donated to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state and in some cases made personal payments to Bill Clinton for speaking engagements.
Such firms and their subsidiaries were listed as contractors in $163 billion worth of Pentagon-negotiated deals that were authorized by the Clinton State Department between 2009 and 2012. (Excerpt) Read more at ibtimes.com ...
==================================================
WASHINGTON EXAMINER--Boeing reportedly wrote a check for $900,000 to the Clinton Foundation just after the State Department intervened in a multi-billion dollar deal between the Russian government and the aerospace company.
While Boeing lobbied the agency during that time, it had given a total of between $1 million and $5 million to the foundation.
"Boeing's contributions to the Clinton Foundation were primarily for school rebuilding programs in Haiti following the devastating earthquake in that country," said Boeing spokesman Tim Neale. Neale noted some of the company's contributions went through the Clinton-Bush Haiti Fund, a charitable effort that he said "transcended politics and recognized the work that needed to be done."
NOTE--At last report, Boeing was refusing to handover its email exchanges w/ Hillary.
Few in the odd coalition of Left and Right pushing for reauthorization of the 81-year-old Export-Import Bank have been louder than Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. “It’s wrong that candidates for president, who really should know better, are jumping on this bandwagon,” she said at a May 22 campaign stop in New Hampshire. “It’s wrong, it’s embarrassing. . . . The idea that we would remove this relatively small but vital source of funding for our businesses to compete is absolutely backwards.”
Clinton’s defense of Ex-Im may be motivated by more than mere concern for American businesses. Critics have argued that her family’s byzantine network of political and business interests benefits tremendously from the bank’s low-interest loans, and previous investigations have raised questions about the bank’s independence from the Clintons’ political pressure.
One Ex-Im deal in particular stands out, both for its sheer size and for its remarkable number of connections to Clinton friends, donors, organizations, and acolytes. The story begins with an alliance between Dow Chemical, a corporation tied closely to the Clintons, and a Saudi Arabian oil company. Dow joined forces with Aramco, a firm owned by the Saudi royal family, in 2011. Together they founded Sadara, a corporate alliance seeking Ex-Im Bank financing for a $20 billion petrochemical plant in the Saudi desert.
Dow CEO Andrew Liveris is a close friend of the Clintons. He first brought his company’s money and clout to the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) in 2007, during the charity’s early stages. Dow donated between $1 million and $5 million to the CGI in 2014 alone, making it one of the foundation’s top corporate donors, and Liveris is a perennial speaker at annual CGI meetings. When Bill Clinton flew to North Korea to negotiate the release of two captive U.S. journalists, it was Liveris who provided him with transportation.
The former president returned the favor when Liveris launched his own charity, the Hellenic Initiative, in 2012, traveling to Athens to deliver a speech praising the Dow CEO at his charity’s inaugural ball. A year earlier, he had publicly touted Liveris’s book, Make It In America, which argued for an alliance of business and government to reinvigorate American manufacturing.
Liveris’s business ethics have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. He was accused by Dow’s internal fraud investigators of spending nearly $1 million in company money on personal expenses — including a family safari, a $218,000 Super Bowl trip, and a $300 flower arrangement for Hillary Clinton. Liveris’s family eventually paid most of that money back, but he is now under investigation by the SEC.
Dow Chemical is a client of Teneo Holdings, a powerful consulting firm founded by former Bill Clinton “body man” Doug Band and ex-Hillary Clinton envoy Declan Kelly and staffed heavily with former Clinton Foundation employees. Dow signed with Teneo for $2.8 million shortly after the consultancy set up shop in 2011, the same year that Sadara was founded.
In June 2012, Hillary Clinton’s top confidante, her deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin, quietly arranged to begin work as a “special government employee,” going part- time at Foggy Bottom in order to work simultaneously at Teneo, Dow’s consulting firm. No announcement was made, and State Department officials played along with media outlets still referring to her as Clinton’s deputy chief of staff. The New York Times finally broke the story in May 2013, three months after Abedin had left the consulting firm. (Abedin’s time at Teneo is now under investigation by the State Department, and Iowa Republican senator Chuck Grassley has asked that the department provide all e-mails related to her employment there.)
Around the same time in 2012 that Abedin — who grew up in Saudi Arabia — joined Teneo, Dow’s Saudi subsidiary Sadara began lobbying the U.S. Export-Import Bank for a taxpayer-subsidized loan.
