Now the real fun begins.

[DeluxAuto]

Convicted felon Donald J Trump's purported "philanthropy" pales in consideration when his peer group is considered.
Convicted felon Donald J Trump may well be the most niggardly "billionaire" to have ever lived.
Many of Donald J Trump's "charitable contributions" come from donated land that is unbuildable.
And, of course, there was this little "charitable" gem:

LINK
Let's review that gem: he received 400K for a political comedy show. He didn't claim it as income, he donated it instead to a shady "charitable organization" whose main recipient was, yup, convicted felon Donald J. Trump. Tax-writeoff grifting.

Derpy is such a god damn idiot.

*chuckle* Here you folks are yakking it up like Harris has the nomination. Meanwhile back in the real world the NYT editorial board have come out a stated they want Harris out of the race.

Pop some more corn.

That almost sounds like you have a source to provide.

Fucking lazy fuck.

Rallying behind Harris is what we're doing because we don't want the mess otherwise.

I don't think NYT would overcome Pelosi or the CBC even if they wanted to.

You can do the NYT paywall if you want. <shrug>

Regardless, it appears the NYT have fallen into line so that leaves just a few key dems. Jeffries, Schumer, and Obama.

Is the fun already over?

I’ll see your two links and raise you $2 million Trump had to pay to an array of charities as a fine for misusing his own charitable foundation to further his political and business interests.

This isn't necessarily corruption per se. It was a business decision which was evaluated after the fact by a 3rd party. As it was found to be improper then the fine was appropriately levied. However, that doesn't automatically mean Trump was "corrupt" for doing it.

Unless you start from that conclusion of corruption and work backwards to find something to base the conclusion on no matter how weak.

 

[HisArpy]

Does not mean I have to like it.

Does this mean you pick and choose who gets lambasted based on whether the conform to your personal political ideology rather than giving everyone equal treatment?

There have been hints along the way and the last few decades, but I think we have enough empirical evidence to conclude that this country hasn't been run by a president for quite awhile. We certainly don't have one now. There's our doddering old fool, president in name only, and they're creating a way to package that shit as "one of the most successful one-term presidents ever." Okay, I'll give him better than James Buchanan and Franklin Pierce, but that's about it. But our owners have you distracted like any good magician. You're busy watching the Kamala hand and don't even think that there's an Other Hand. Trust me, it's been a very busy hand of late.


There's something very wrong going on here. Quite wrong.

I agree with you, bud. trump certainly doesn't make the list of best one term presidents.

Did Trump illegally use Trump Foundation funds, Harpy?

 

[HisArpy]

Did Trump illegally use Trump Foundation funds, Harpy?

I don't know because I haven't read the details of that decision. However, a neutral 3rd party did examine all the facts and determined that the use of the money was improper and ordered Trump to repay the money he received.

Now you answer a question:

It is "illegal" for charities like The Red Cross to use money from donations for salaries of the Board of Directors? If no, then why for them and not for Trump?

 

[Rotadom]

It makes me unreasonably happy to know these dumb racist dipwads will die with a black woman holding office.

Trump is a crotchety old fart yelling at clouds.

Poor decrepit doddering Donald. He’s fallen apart mentally and physically.

False equivalency. Trump was not using money to pay salaries to himself or his kids. You know the answer to your silly question.

 

[HisArpy]

False equivalency. Trump was not using money to pay salaries to himself or his kids. You know the answer to your silly question.

Then what did he use the money for if not for himself?

You seem to get lost in your TDS and suddenly stop thinking before you post. If Trump didn't send the money to the intended recipient, then he kept it "FOR HIMSELF." Whether than went for his salary, his kids' salaries, or green fees at the golf course is irrelevant because he kept it for himself.

Thus, it's not a "false equivalency" to wonder why you denounce Trump for it but not other charitable orgs out there.

If the orgs listed in that source can do it without it being "illegal," why not Trump?

Answer: TDS.

Yes, I think that is exactly what you have. Your twisting to try and prove Trump innocent proves that.

 

[HisArpy]

Yes, I think that is exactly what you have. Your twisting to try and prove Trump innocent proves that.

I'm not trying to prove anything. MY position is that you use inflamatory words and phrases to try and gin up support for your position based on politics rather than reality.

YOU SAY Trump is corrupt for doing what every other charitable org out there does but you don't condemn those people. Why? TDS.

YOU SAY Trump is a con man but you don't scream the same words about Democrats who lied to us about Russia gate and Hunter's laptop and who used media censorship tactics to kill that information right before the election so the voters wouldn't know. Why? TDS.

And yet I'm the one you say is looking through tinted glasses and denying reality when I point all of that out.

Why?


TDS.

He used it on his political campaign and to further his business interests, neither is allowed.

Charitable organizations don’t usually use collected money for political campaigns or their own interests. You’ve got some deep TDS.

 

[RobDownSouth]

Now you answer a question:

It is "illegal" for charities like The Red Cross to use money from donations for salaries of the Board of Directors? If no, then why for them and not for Trump?

The Red Cross claims they use ten percent of donations to pay for "overhead", which presumably means paying for staff salaries and blood collection equipment.

By contrast, convicted felon Donald J Trump's personal charity charged his son Eric's cancer charity nearly triple the rate it gave other charities to lease his golf courses for charity events ($142,000 per outing). The funds were collected by the Trump Foundation and used to pay for convicted felon Donald J Trump's legal bills. This was deemed fraudulent charitable activity and the reason why convicted felon Donald J Trump was forced to pay two million dollars in restitution, and why Eric Trump was banned from doing any sort of charitable fundraising going forward.

So, apples and oranges.

Hope this helps

As it stands today it appears that Harris has it locked up.
