Clinton Foundation bleeding money with no Clintons in high office


Clinton Foundation 2018 tax filing

Some figures from the filing:

Contributions to Clinton Foundation:
2014: $172,579,474
2015: $108,915,463
2016: $62,901,979
2017: $26,566,825
2018: $24,167,053

Clinton Foundation loses:
2017: $16.1 million
2018: $16.8 million

Hmmm, I guess this is what happens when the Clinton’s no longer have their “office” for sale.


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.

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.

Tuna cartel.

Bumble bee tuna files for chapter 11 after 25 million fine for price fixing.

Quote:
In 2017, the company pleaded guilty to price fixing and was fined $25 million for forming a cartel with Chicken of the Sea and Starkist. It still owes $17 million to the U.S. Department of Justice, according to its bankruptcy filing.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Let me try. Credit to Sartre for the original, I just substituted the subject...

Quote:
Never believe that they are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. They have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.


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.

Burger King has had its best quarter in 4 years because of the Impossible Whopper.

Still haven't tried one.

Make enough money on the stock and you can eat whatever you want.
