If Donald Trump’s most senior advisor and trusted aide had been an assistant editor at a rapidly anti-gay publication (say, the Westboro Baptist Turn-Or-Burn Newsletter) for twelve years, a publication that his aide’s mother and brother were still actively involved in, the progressive gay left and the Democrat Media Complex would have a field day with that, am I right?
I mean, that creep Manafort guy had to resign the Trump campaign because of his past dealings with Russia, right?
But, as usual, the rules don’t apply if you’re a Democrat and your last name is Clinton.
A journalism major at George Washington University, Huma Abedin, 40, was listed as “assistant editor” of the [Journal of Minority Muslim Affairs, which featured radically anti-feminist views and backed strict Islamic laws roundly criticized for oppressing women] from 1996 to 2008, when her name was removed from the staff box and she went to work for Clinton at the State Department.
Typical fare in the publication includes a 1996 piece titled “Women’s Rights Are Islamic Rights,” which argues that single moms, working moms and gay couples with children should not be recognized as families.
I guess if that whole selling out State Department favors in return for bribes to the Clinton Global Thingie didn’t bother you, this revelation won’t faze you either. (Huma Abedin was in the middle of that scheme as well.)
It bothers me less that Hillary and Huma are crooks than it does that some 40% of the electorate and 80-90% of the Democrat Party is perfectly fine with that.
I mean, hey, Hillary opened a pickle jar on TV, so she’s obviously totally fit to be president, right?
Also, by the way, someone tried to scale the wall at the Ecuadoran Embassy in London the other night; the place where Julian “Wikileaks” Assange is holed up. He got away before the police could catch him. Interesting, that.
If you’re voting for Hillary Clinton, this is your circus, those are your monkeys.
“It’s different when we do it!”
Everyone knows that!
What bothers me is the fact that this is just NOW coming out.
Why does Uncle Joe Biden get a ‘pass’ when his son is on the Board of an Ukrainian gas/oil company?? His son is an Ukrainian oligarch….cocaine user…and disgraced US Naval Reserve officer. How he maintains his law licenses is a mystery…
Hunter Biden currently sits on the Chairman’s Advisory Board for the National Democratic Institute, and he holds directorships on the boards of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, the Truman National Security Project, the Center for National Policy, and the Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, a firm which owns several Ukrainian oil and gas companies and is the country’s largest non-governmental natural gas producer. – Wikipedia
He was also an appointed Director of Amtrack and the World Food Program, and counsel and lobbyist for a number of merchant banks, lobbies, and M&A law firms.
(Smells like nepotism and Daddy-is-a-Senator-and-VPOTUS family influence-peddling to me.)
Somewhere I read that Hunter Biden came up the hard way, just like his dad.
Hunter Biden was abandoned at Happy Times Day Care at the age of three and was unofficially “adopted” and fostered by Roger Clinton and Andrea Mitchell. Eventually, he made his way back to his father and stole the family silver (a teaspoon and a pickle fork) so he could buy power tools at Home Depot. After a gig installing peepholes in motel bathrooms, Hunter went into a Coke and rogaine regimen to help keep him awake while he watched his hair grow. The Biden’s have always treasured their follicles and dedicated themselves to follicle preservation.
Somehow, Hunter tested false positive for romaine or halitosis or something and was smeared out the military by G. W. Bush and the vast right wing conspiracy. Being dumped and feeling down in the dumps, Hunter went to Ukraine because it rhymes with romaine and cocaine and the rains that mainly stay on the plains of Spain. Hunter’s rise is business-as-usual for a Chelsea Clinton, Hunter Biden or other RICO reared chil’runs.
Too bad he didn’t hook up with Al Gore’s kids and just do the rounds in Hol -la-la-la-lolywood where where the super snorters sort their shorts and shots and associate with snobiates who pontificate, deprecate, and circulate as they officiate and enunciate what they deem politically appropriate. Anyway, Hunter is into appropriations.
@heliotrope Wish I’d said that! Best summation ever.
@VtheK What would I do without you?
I’ve always thought that Julian Assange was a self-serving ass (and the latest revelation that Wikileaks may have outed a Saudi citizen as gay in a country where it’s not exactly halal doesn’t improve that impression), but I almost have a modicum of sympathy for him in the regard that it may be he, not Bill Clinton, who is unable to keep breathing after Election Day. You don’t publish the dirt they have on the Democrats and expect to escape unscathed from it.
