China There's no question China has been trying to crack down on the internet. Good luck! That’s sort of like trying to nail jello to the wall. Bill Clinton, 2000 speech on China Trade Bill urging Congress to admit China into the World Trade Organization © 2023 Kwiple.com
Democratic Party In the early 1970s, the party became the home of educated professionals, nonwhite voters, and the shrinking unionized working class. The more the party identified with the winners of the new economy, the easier it became for the Republican Party to pull away white workers by appealing to cultural values. Bill and Hillary Clinton spoke about equipping workers to rise into the professional class through education and training. Their assumption was that all Americans could do what they did and be like them. George Packer, The Atlantic, July/August 2021 © 2021 Kwiple.com
Democratic Party Left parties the world over were founded to advance the fortunes of working people. But our left party in America – one of our two monopoly parties – chose long ago to turn its back on these people's concerns, making itself instead into the tribune of the enlightened pro- fessional class, a “creative class” that makes innovative things like derivative securities and smartphone apps. The working people that the party used to care about, Democrats figured, had nowhere else to go, in the famous Clinton-era expression. The party just didn't need to listen to them any longer.

Impeachment DONALD TRUMP: When she [Nancy Pelosi] first got in and was named Speaker, I met her. And I'm very impressed by her. I think she's a very impressive person. I like her a lot. But I was surprised that she didn't do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush. It was almost – it just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which personally I think would have been a wonderful thing. WOLF BLITZER: Impeaching him? DONALD TRUMP: Absolutely. For the war. For the war! Well, he lied! He got us into a war with lies, and I mean, look at the trou- ble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant and they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense.

Sexual harassment Throughout the employment and attorney- client relationship, Giuliani forced Ms. Dunphy to perform oral sex on him. He often demanded oral sex while he took phone calls on speaker phone from high-profile friends and clients, including then-President Trump. Giuliani told Ms. Dunphy that he enjoyed engaging in this conduct while on the telephone because it made him “feel like Bill Clinton.” From the verified complaint against Rudy Giuliani filed by Noelle Dunphy, former Business Development director for him and his companies © 2023 Kwiple.com

Taxes “It is striking that for a rich person, her tax return is very boring,” said Len Burman, director of the Tax Policy Center, a nonpartisan think tank that specializes in tax issues … “She certainly could afford to pay people to help her figure out ways to avoid paying more in taxes.” Wall Street Journal, August 13-14, 2016, reporting that Bill and Hillary Clinton's tax returns for 2015 showed they paid an effective federal income tax rate of 34%, 8% higher than average for people with adjusted gross incomes of $10 million, plus a state and local tax rate of 9%, for a combined rate of 43.2% © 2016 Kwiple.com
