'No, I'm not over it': Hillary Clinton jabs Trump, shows off Russian hat at Yale Class Day
Fox News, May 20, 2018, Samuel Chamberlain

Early in her address to graduating Yale students at Sunday's Class Day, Hillary Clinton reached behind the lectern, pulled out a traditional Russian ushanka hat, and held it aloft.  "I mean, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." she said as the audience laughed and applauded.

The Russian hat gag, a nod to the student tradition of wearing extravagant headgear during Class Day, set the tone for a wide-ranging speech in which Clinton alternately cracked jokes about her loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election and warned Yale's Class of 2018 that "we are living through a full-fledged crisis in our democracy."

"There are certain things that are so essential they should transcend politics," said Clinton, who never mentioned Trump by name during her address. "Waging a war on the rule of law and a free press, de-legitimizing elections, perpetrating shameless corruption, and rejecting the idea that our leaders should be public servants undermines our national unity."

Clinton admitted that she still thinks about her defeat by Trump: "No, I'm not over it. I still think about the 2016 election. I still regret the mistakes I made. I still think, though, that understanding what happened in such a weird and wild election in American history will help us defend our democracy in the future."

"Today, as a person, I'm OK," Clinton added. "But as an American, I’m concerned."

Seriously?
You have any links that aren't connected to leftist propaganda?

I'll admit that 'some' Republitards are crooked but How do you lump Trump in with them?

As the anti-American leftist that you are, Ms. Clinton.....

you should be concerned.  Your jig is up.  Ovah!  All that's left (pardon pun) for you to do now is to go away and STFU....

not necessarily in that order.

Oh, Honey Bunny. In your travels, you have lost your way.
No doubt it was early on, but now you open your pie hole
and erase all doubt.

The difference between thought and action could not be clearer.
That is what you say versus what you do. Polar opposites.

One must track and remember ones lies. You have lost your
account due to the volume. Maybe on one of your falls. Recalling
the string of lies is important from a consistency standpoint.
Being inconsistent is the telltale signal that one has been lying for
so long that they lost track.

Whatever you think, it isn't the truth. Same for what you say.
That is truly clear to the most ardent Marxist Progressive assholes
that follow your dribble.

You have done the country a service by keeping your lies
front and center. At your trials, keep telling and fabricating
new yarns as you think of them.

The only honorable thing remaining is to leave us all.
Goodbye Honey Bunny, poorly done. You have been a poor
example sufficiently long.

:)

Hillary, like her pervert husband, needs to f***ing grow up!
Fortunately, the hate, regret, and frustration that lives inside of her is eating her alive. And it couldn't happen to a worse person.

The Clinton Foundation lists Donald J. Trump as a contributor with a cumulative lifetime donation amount between $100,001 to $250,000. It’s not clear if Trump himself made a personal contribution, but tax forms show that the Donald J. Trump Foundation (which Trump controls) donated $100,000 to the foundation in 2009 and reserved a table at the Clinton Foundation gala for $10,000 in 2010

Has been for about 50 years now IMO.

The fact they are letting Hillary speak there AND giving her an award just proves how oxymoronic it is.
