Hillary & $$$

You are full of shit, sirs.   

The majority rules in the election of every other nation on the fucking planet.

The Electoral College was designed when in most states, only adult males with property could vote. Most people could not vote at all. No women voted, no slaves voted, no Indians voted, and only in New England were people who were not property owners permitted to vote.

Typical leftist response.  When unable to refute the point with facts, just call the other person names.  Although I also knew you'd try to "debate this" (Gore & the electoral college) vs the far more relevant point of the thread

The majority rules in the election of every other nation on the fucking planet.

Which is why America is set apart...and thankfully so, since we have a representative republic, and not simply mob majority.  Majority works fine for local and even regional areas.  But not on a country-wide scale.

The Electoral College was designed...

So that no heavy populated area of the country, could dictate what the rest of the country had to do.  That's its principle design.  It was referred to this as the tyranny of the majority.  Just another brilliant concept that went into our Constitutional design

Now that we've placated your tangent, time to move back to the far more relevant subject of the thread....the Clinton's foreign money laundering system foundation, and the left's overt hypocrisy in giving them a pass, that they'd be crucifying a Republican for

  We can all be certain that if Al Gore had won by some technicality and GWB actually had a single more vote, that Vice President Gore would have graciously conceded.

"Tyranny of the majority"

I can hear Louis XVI and Tsar Nicolas II and even Idi Amin saying that catchy phrase.

Well, there ya go.  Those leaders/dictators didn't even have to worry about majorities, since they ruled with a militarized minority.  Thank God our founders were as brilliant as they were, that we're run by a representative republic

 Tyranny is Tyranny, it matters little how the tyrant came to be.

  When our Nation was new and the rules were being composed , there were small states worried that the large states would ignore the needs of the small , so that the less populated states would become slums as New York , Pennsylvania and  Virginia picked all the plums .

   Since NY and Virginia wanted all thirteen colonies to be incorporated, they agreed to split the Legislature and electoral votes in a manner that made the votes in RI and Connecticut matter.

   This turns out to have been a fortunate precedent, as there have been several times that Majorities have been thwarted by strong minorities, the Majority eventually wins , but this has become a country in which a minority is not without hope.

Hear Hear!!

The small states were accommodated by giving them two senators. That was and is enough.

This is a country ruled by the people, not acreage.

No, it wasn't....not when an urbanized heavy populated area like New York, could dictate what all other rural states could be forced to do

This is a country ruled by the people, not acreage.

No, its's ruled by the rule of law, and the Constitution.  You don't like it....tough.  The mechanisms for amending it are also there.  Knock your socks off

Returning us back to the road of relevence:

During Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, the Russian atomic energy agency Rosatom took over a Canadian uranium mining company that became known as Uranium One. According to the New York Times, it controlled mines “from Central Asia to the American West.”
 
When the Russians moved to take over a majority of the company, the deal had to get approval from Clinton’s State Department because of the strategic importance of Uranium. Her department approved the deal.

- Bill Clinton traveled abroad with Canadian mining investors as they built the company, and they donated to the Clinton Foundation.

- The family foundation of a Uranium One official donated $2.35 million to the Clinton Foundation.

- That donation, in addition to millions of dollars more from Uranium One-linked people, were not disclosed by the Clinton Foundation, despite their disclosure agreements.

- According to the NY Times, “after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, Bill Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with ties to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock.”
 
Is it just a coincidence? If nothing is amiss, why were these tens of millions of dollars in donations not disclosed?

And this is just 1 example, albiet likely the most egregious.  Many, many, many other lesser examples demonstrating the Foreign money Clinton Foundation money laundering system, for those who wished to purchase political peddling power & policy, that even the Obama administration was worried about.  Which is why they had her sign that disclosure agreement that she then blatantly ignored
