      Grifting isn’t just for elections anymore.

      $153 million in Bill and Hillary Clinton speaking fees, documented | CNN Politics

      2016

      Compare them to Shohei Ohtani. He got $700m for his 10 year baseball contract. But he’s worth it. He’s an insanely gifted athlete. Not only is he a pitcher - he became the first player in MLB history to record 50 home runs and 50 stolen bases in a season.

      I bet neither Bill nor Hillary could bat for more than .050 .005. And if my some miracle they got on base - there’s a zero percent chance they could steal. Although it would be the funniest thing in the world if they tried to.

      Edit - I’m not a sports guy. I realized a .050 average was improbable.

        I remember when it came out that uhhh fuck, who was it, Doug Band? Some guy high up in the Clinton Foundation said, in an email, some shit about how they paid for Chelsea’s wedding with Clinton Foundation funds

        But of course nothing ever came of it, liberals were appeased with “uh he was lying or making it up, duh” and all anyone ever says about the emails is “buttery males” like they’re still so mad “something so stupid” cost their queen the election
