It sounds like that, because that's exactly what she's done!

It's chilling, actually.

everyday to make AMERICA GREAT but we have money to start two more wars.

I loathe people who never fought in wars going about starting them. This is why her no hope-no change tour is such a hit.

She gets spectacular you-name-it and we get nothing but the fucking bill. She will always have great health care, houses, cars, private planes and food. Her kid will and her grandkids will too. They will go to harvard and BE ANYTHING FUCKING THING THEY WANT TO BE AND WE CAN'T. she will never give up a damned thing herself and her kids? DREAM ON, BABIES! You're 1%. You can.

We have to settle. SO SETTLE WITH US, HILLARY. Give up your status and your money and lower your expectations too because the only ones being asked to do that are US.

64 people in the one percent own as much as 3.6 BILLION people on this planet according to a new release from Oxfam.

WE HAVE TO SETTLE AS SHE EATS CAVIAR. NEVER. WE CAN FUND ANY WAR OF CHOICE SHE WANTS AND THERE'S NO MONEY TO WAGE THE PEACE AT HOME!? NEVER.

...infrastructure, etc. because our money is going to contractors. To blow people up. Thus creating more enemies to blow up. So we can pay more to contractors.

Fuck this shit!

They are having PTSD flashbacks to 2008. Be easy on them.

You and Chelsea first, then your son-in-law and an I.O.U. for your grandkids. Then we'll talk.

Fuckin war hawk! Used her S.O.S. position to do sweetheart deals for the MIL and the Clinton Foundation (basically an organization that launders blood money). Of COURSE she wants war! The more war the wealthier she becomes.

I don't know what date your clip is from.

Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton in Burlington on January 20, 2016.


Clinton touched on national security and foreign affairs saying that she is the only candidate that has a specific plan for defeating ISIS.

She says, “I agree that we have to lead an air-coalition to deprive them of territory. To go after their territory. To go after their infrastructure and leadership, and support the fighters on the the ground, the Arabs and the Kurdish fighters. But I will not send American ground troops!”
