Hillary's $15 Million Tip Jar

I don’t know of a single progressive who’s ever been offered, let alone accepted, let alone admitted accepting, $15 million from Wall Street.

Maybe that’s not a coincidence. Real “progressives” don’t need to be told not to sell out to Too-Big-To-Fail banks, grotesquely-profitable “health” insurers, and Big Pharma. Such “donations” simply never come sailing through their windows or sliding under their doors.

Corporate contributions to candidate-affiliated super PACs like Hillary’s (and her GOP sister and brethren) constitute a legal form of bribery and every progressive knows it — with the glaring exception of the aforementioned Hillary Clinton.

But wait! Maybe I’ve got it wrong.

Perhaps Hillary Clinton’s only on the take from her Wall Street chums when she’s in her “moderate-centrist” mode — days of the week that end in “day,” for example.

It should be easy to remember, I know, because those are the same days that she girds herself in her custom-made, stem-to-stern, let’s-kick-some-ass-muthafukkas neocon body armor.

Correct me if I’m wrong on this one, folks, but I’m pretty sure I’m right — at least 99% (of, say $15 million) right.

And if I don’t tell you, who will? Bernie Sanders certainly won’t, because he’s a gentleman.

Unfortunately for him (and potentially, the rest of us), Hillary Clinton is no lady.

And the only game she plays — and always has played — is hard-core, no-prisoners, winner-take-all hardball politics, where you get a whiffle ball and she gets a hand grenade. And fuck you if you don’t like it.
