The once “dead broke” Clintons seem to have rebounded nicely, and they’re now safely above the “just like us” category, according to a new report:
The going rate for former POTUS speeches was about $60k before Bill Clinton started demanding up to $750k https://t.co/pY4O4hDHty

And the story contains yet another reminder of all the Clintons have done to combat climate change:
Clinton would demand in his contract to be shuttled by private jet from San Francisco to UC Davis, where he spoke at the Mondavi Center. The center had to appeal to its network of donors to find someone able to fly him the 70 miles, something it had never done and hasn’t since.
It feels cooler already!
Hillary has called global warming an “urgent threat,” and a Clinton Foundation stated goal is to “confront the debilitating effects of climate change.”
They have a funny way of sounding the alarm:

When you invite Bill Clinton to speak, you might have to find a jet to fly him 70 miles and foot a $1,400 phone bill https://t.co/CPPzakED0V
