*shrug* I work with what I've got. Politicians are not exactly known for high moral standards, anywhere. Welcome to the real world.

Yeah, well - then they heard some over-priced speeches. Probably could have downloaded them off the internet, but you know what they say about fools and their money...

Same difference.

These weapons are being used right now to terrorise the people of the Yemen and Wikileaks showed that Hilary knows Saudi and Qatar give weapons to DAESH but she is still chummy with them. Why does she continue to take money from them knowing how vicious they are? They are really not giving money to be charitable. That's just so stupid. They want American support and Murray hardware. They won't make the weapons themselves after all.
Who gives a sh*t what they want? Money goes to charity and it has nothing to do with whatever military equipment they buy from the US. I have news for you - US factories need to do something with all those boom-boom-sticks they churn out, or else hundreds of thousands of hard-working 'Murricans will lose their defense manufacturing jobs. And whomever you sell your weapons to - chances are they're going to use them to do some grizzly sh*t.
Sure - it might be nice if US could stop being such a gun-loving country and reduce the size of its defense sector, but is Jill Stein going to achieve that? I sincerely doubt it.
