Hillary sacrificing our national security and trading government favors to enemies for per$onal gain? Threatening officials to stay out of jail? No problem.

Trump getting a helmet from a charity? Well, he doesn’t have the right character to be President, clearly.

A democrat can eat a baby, live on TV, and the news media will cheer her and tell us the infant had it coming.

A conservative can sit quietly in a church and the news media will call for his impeachment for loitering.


Man I just kissed your butt on another thread and now I have to do it again!

This post wins the webs.

Tomrrow's headline:

TRUMP EATS PUPPIES!

Umm, sorry, Obama already did that.

The Washington Post is up to its eyeballs in Hillary Clinton toxic sewage, but all they can see is the gum wrapper that Trump might have dropped...


Yep! Well said!

I attended functions where businesses were involved in charity auctions.... then took tax deductions on the money spent. For a foundation to do the same appears to me to be completely legal. I assume the Trump foundation owns the helmet and in turn can donate it or whatever.

Charities give to other charities all the time. I didn’t see a big commotion when the cancer society donated money to Planned Parenthood...

“How many folks have been tricked/fooled into supporting a particular charity only to find that 98% of the “gatherings” have gone for admin purposes? I’m thinking a LOT of people.”

I was a couple times. Then I started checking online. Easy to do! There are several charity rating sites.

Funny thing about that planned parenthood, they receive millions in government money, but turn around and donate millions to Democrats?

How is that legal? Where in the Washington Compost on that story?

Trump makes a $12,000 donation to charity and gets smeared by the WAPO. How much money has the WAPO given to anybody?

Why don’t we buy this paper? It’s probably losing money every year, we can probably get it for 10 bucks.

will it could be argued that whatever the Washington Post pays these writers could be classified as Charity. They certainly hadn’t done anything worthy of a paycheck.
