I’m so sick of hearing about Hillary Clinton. This report doesn’t surprise me, but she ought to just be history, end of story, that’s it. Retire somewhere.

My condolences to New York City. I hope she enjoys handling the logistics of hospitality when the President is in town, and does so with unfailing graciousness. (But then, my fondness for indulging in schandenfreude is one of my spiritual faults.)

I hope that the rumors she would seek that position are just that. It would be a very bad idea. It is bad enough that people will probably still keep giving them enormous amounts of money to give speeches and headline Democratic fundraisers.

Agree.Time for the Clinton’s to fade away to the sunset.👍
 
One of our greatest public servants is Hillary Clinton. She has spent her life helping others, with dignity. She is a Christian. She has risen above the smears, insults, character attacks and refused to bow down to the far right’s irrational persecution of her. She has weathered many a storm with courage. Before you attack her again, please read her wiki bio. It is not fake news. It’s about a real person.

I think this thread sets a record for how few posts actually comment on the article in the OP. 😛

I find it a bit disingenuous that people feel they can buy their way into being “carbon neutral.” It’s somewhat ironic considering how many criticisms the Church receives for the (illicit and wrong) practice of selling indulgences during the Middle Ages. If it’s wrong for people to buy their way out of Purgatory, how is it okay for people to buy “carbon offsets” in order to continue their level of consumption uninterrupted?

Now, it’s probably an apples to oranges comparison to compare sale of indulgences to sale of carbon credits, but I think the mentality that leads to both practices is the same: I want to live however I want to live, and then I can pay my way out of experiencing the consequences of my actions. That’s not a mentality I want in a public official.
 
“Offsets are typically achieved through financial support of projects that reduce the emission of greenhouse gases in the short- or long-term. The most common project type is renewable energy,[10] such as wind farms, biomass energy, or hydroelectric dams. Others include energy efficiency projects, the destruction of industrial pollutants or agricultural byproducts, destruction of landfill methane, and forestry projects.[11] Some of the most popular carbon offset projects from a corporate perspective are energy efficiency and wind turbine projects.[12]
Carbon offsetting has gained some appeal and momentum mainly among consumers in western countries who have become aware and concerned about the potentially negative environmental effects of energy-intensive lifestyles and economies. The Kyoto Protocol has sanctioned offsets as a way for governments and private companies to earn carbon credits that can be traded on a marketplace”

I love Obama. He is a constitutional scholar, had the utmost dignity. No scandals. Not like now with the idiot’s “presidenticy”

No scandals? You really need to pay attention:

Eric Holder held in contempt of Congress: This was a result of Operation Fast and Furious, but it merits distinction as a separate scandal in its own right. Holder was the first sitting member of a president’s cabinet in the history of the United States to be held in contempt of Congress.

ObamaCare: Everything about ObamaCare is a scandal, from the President’s incessant lies about keeping your old plan if you liked it, to Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s “we need to pass it to find out what’s in it” dereliction of Congressional duty.

Spying on journalists: Establishment media came about as close to falling out of love with Barack Obama as ever when his administration was caught spying on journalists.

The IRS scandal: The selective targeting of conservative groups by a politicized Internal Revenue Service was a scandal grenade Democrats and their media pals somehow managed to smother, even though the story began with the IRS admitting wrongdoing.

Benghazi: This is the clearest example of Obama and his supporters thinking all of his pre-2012 scandals ceased to exist the moment he won re-election. Benghazi has been investigated extensively, and argued about passionately, since the night of September 11, 2012. Nothing can change the absolute fact that the Obama administration’s story for the first few weeks after the attack was false, and they knew it was false. They spun a phony story to buy themselves a little time during a presidential election campaign, and it worked.

NSA spying scandal: Opinions about the nature and intensity of this scandal vary wildly across the political spectrum, but there’s no doubt that Edward Snowden’s pilfering of sensitive National Security Agency data was a debacle that damaged national security. We had the ghastly spectacle of Attorney General Holder thanking Snowden for performing a public service by exposing surveillance programs Holder’s own administration didn’t want to talk about.

Bowe Bergdahl: Bergdahl’s ultimate fate rests in the hands of a military court (unless Obama pardons him) but no verdict can erase the scandalous way this administration conducted the prisoner swap that freed him from the Taliban and its allies. Many lies were told, the law was flouted, a deal of questionable wisdom was struck with his captors, and outraged Americans demanded recognition for the soldiers who died searching for Bergdahl after he abandoned his post.

Iran nuclear deal and ransom payment: Everything about Obama’s dealings with Iran has been scandalous, beginning with his silence while the Green Revolution was brutally put down by the mullahs in 2009. The Iran nuclear deal was pushed with lies and media manipulation. The infamous pallet of cash that wasn’t a ransom has become symbolic of Obama’s mendacity and penchant for breaking the rules, when he thinks following them is too much trouble.

Polluting the Colorado river: The Environmental Protection Agency managed to turn the Colorado River orange under this greenest of green Presidents. Of course there was a cover-up. Would you expect anything less from this “transparent” administration?

The GSA scandal: The General Services Administration was caught wasting ridiculous amounts of taxpayer money on lavish parties and silly projects. Heroic efforts to resist accountability were made, leaving puzzled observers to ask what it took to get fired from government employment under Barack Obama. (Alas, it was hardly the last time that question would be asked.) Oh, and of course there was a cover-up from the Most Scandal-Free Administration Ever.

The VA death-list scandal: The Department of Veterans Affairs has long been troubled, but the big scandals broke on Obama’s watch, most infamously the secret death lists veterans were put on while executives handed in phony status reports and signed themselves up for big bonuses. Obama was more interested in spinning the news and minimizing his political exposure than addressing problems; in few areas outside ObamaCare has his rhetoric been more hollow, his promises more meaningless.

Solyndra: The marquee green energy scandal wrote “crony capitalism” into the American political lexicon, as corners were cut and protocols ignored to shovel billions of taxpayer dollars at companies with absurdly unrealistic business models. President Obama’s ability to pick bad investments was remarkable. Luckily for him, American taxpayers covered his losses.

Secret Service gone wild: The Obama years saw one scandal after another hit the Secret Service, from agents going wild with hookers in Columbia, to a fence jumper penetrating the White House, and tipsy Secret Service officials driving their car into a security barrier.

Shutdown theater: Obama hit the American people hard during the great government shutdown crisis of 2013, doing everything he could to make American citizens feel maximum pain – from using “Barry-cades” to keep war veterans away from their memorials, to releasing illegal alien criminals from detention centers. It was an infuriating lesson for voters in how every dollar they get from government is a dollar that can be used against them, when they are impudent enough to demand spending restraint.

Another misguided individual attempting to place their own financial security over the life of the unborn.

I can’t imagine you typed that with a straight face.

Somehow her and Bill became extremely wealthy, far in excess of what they were paid for their public service.

I admit Hillary could be passionate, but she has no record of accomplishment.
  • She failed to make any progress in meaningful health care reform as First Lady.
  • Her bills as Senator are inconsequential, she renamed public property
  • Her time as SOS was a failure, think Russia reset, Libya and Syria, and refugee crisis
  • she lost two elections in spite of being fabulously funded
She sold favors to the high bidder, and she kinda failed in basic security protocols.

I’d give her credit for sticking with Bill, but I think it was only for the power.
