Technically they only rented it out. The President is a fink. |

Where were you a couple weeks ago when Donald Trump was ordered to pay $2 million for using his charity to further his 2016 campaign? I know I know I know, this doesn't sound like something the Trumps would do. For reference, I encourage you to unpack some of the data that are in the links below. This is where potential donors go to review causes and charities they might want to donate to. https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=16680 https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=16764 |

As often happens, you totally missed the point. The point is that when people thought Hillary was going to become President of the United States they donated nearly $300 million to her charity in two years. In the five years when her power has severely diminished they’ve donated a tad over 100,000,000. Do you think it’s just a coincidence, or do you think people were donating to curry favor with Hillary? Of course you know the answer. Whether you choose to admit it or not is another question. And as usual, you will bring up that Trump is a scoundrel I won’t argue with you on that point. But it doesn’t hide the fact that a couple hundred million dollars was given in a clear attempt to gain favor with the resume the next president |

I understood the point clearly. The implication was that people are no longer donating because they can't buy favors. It's intention was to smear the charity and them. The reason I posted my two links is that anybody who is really wanting to dive into it can clearly see that the Clinton Foundation is a great charity and highly respected in the donor world, contrast that with the Trumps, who ran a fake charity to personally benefit them. I believe, although we haven't heard an update for aw hile, I believe that the FBI is investigating the pay-to-play allegations. Let's decide what the "facts" are when it's concluded. The state department report last month on her e-mails found nothing and I suspect that the this investigation will turn up nothing as well. Good thing the "lamestream media" covered her e-mails nonstop in 2015-16. Odd for them to do, considering they are bought and paid for by the Democratic machine. |

Let me try. Credit to Sartre for the original, I just substituted the subject...
There is nothing new under the sun. How y'all escape living in a state of perpetual embarrassment confounds me. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |
