who oversaw the capture of Osama bin Laden

They did not capture him, they caped him. They say they dumped his body in the sea so all the little fishes and crabs could have a bight.

I bet his skull is on display and Seal Team HQ or perhaps at the Skull and Bones Society at Bushes collage.

You must wonder why Bezos gave $50 million each to Admiral McRaven and Eva Longoria, in light of his left wing political bias. Both recipients are financially well off and politically liberal. Per Wikipedia (a poor source), Admiral McRaven said he would use the gift to focus on educating the children of deceased veterans, the mental health performance of veterans, and educating the future military leaders, obviously good causes. Eva Longoria contributes heavily to Hispanic female causes, feeding the indigent, and Special Olympics. Perhaps not all liberals are totally evil.

“Bezos will pay the tax.”

Bezos will get a deduction.

Pretty sure the gift to the admiral is illegal and he’ll need to give it back.

Correct. The US could have “captured” bin Laden previously at any time they wanted to. They had him on ice and only picked him up when Bammie was dropping in the polls and needed a win.

Bezos gave 100M to racist Eva Longoria to give to LaRaza?
That’s exactly where that money will go.

what a waste of dollars on idiots that don’t deserve it. It’s a shame people as rich as Bezos can’t figure out how to actually help good people!

They could have given a million each to 100 amazing American citizens and changed their lives forever.

She's okay I guess. Cracker crumbs in bed wouldn't be a deal breaker.

McRaven, the most disliked officer in SEAL history. Quickly booted “upstairs” out of the teams. Widely reputed to have tried to run the teams like spit and polish Naval Academy “Navy”. Watched the mission to get Osama on TV from hundreds of miles away. Struts around like HE lead the mission. Worthless jackass.

He gets it and some Hollywood skank.

Sick...

It would be nice, except a lot of them are dead from the flying clown car MH-47 ambush not long after. If McRaven has ANY class (he doesn’t) that cash would go to the families of men lost in combat.

He’ll set up some kind of “foundation” for that, then pay himself a handsome salary and use 1.5% of it on families.

” Perhaps not all liberals are totally evil.”

That are. McRaven will create a foundation where he gets a handsome salary and expenses to fly around talking about how awesome he is. The actual stated cause will get a pittance.

Don’t be taken in.

You may be right, but I hope not. At least McRaven’s causes are good, and I have no issue with Longoria’s feeding the hungry and helping the handicapped. But it may be like the Clinton's Haiti “charity”, where actual funds going to the Haitians on the ground were maybe seven cents per dollar.

“They are probably being expected”....other than purse speculation on your behalf, where else did you come up with this?

The first line of the article plainly states he’s “given away $100 million”
