Barack Obama has a big new backer: Jeff Bezos.

The Amazon founder and world’s second richest man is donating a whopping $100 million to the former president’s charity, the Obama Foundation said Monday.

The donation comes as Amazon seeks to fend off challenges from the Biden administration.

As part of the donation, Bezos has asked that Obama rename the plaza at his controversial Chicago presidential center in honor of former Congressman and civil rights advocate John R. Lewis, according to the Obama Foundation.

“accepts”? That’s frickin’ funny. As if there were any chance they wouldn’t “accept” it.

...a $100M bribe paid for by the U.S. taxpayer since it’s a tax deductible contribution to a non-profit organization by Mr. Bezos.

The only possible good thing to come of this is the rage, hatred, and jealousy that now harbors inside Hillary Clinton’s head.

Pushing the “pandemic” in a major newspaper was conflict of interest.

Think about. Who says all the stores should be shut? The newspaper owned by the guy who sells stuff online.

This indicates that Obama is still pulling the levers of power in the White House.

So Bezos is giving $100 million to the Obama Foundation. I wonder who’s laughing harder about this.

Barack: “A fool and his money are soon parted.”
Michelle: “Yes, indeed. Let’s wait a month, then ask him for more.”
Barack: “Good idea. We’ll use the money to buy another mansion.”

I feel guilty buying anything from Amazon but a lot of times there is just no alternative. I feel like a hypocrite but then I think about all the leftists who used to boycott Walmart saying that they were killing the mom and pop stores. Yet they have no problem shopping at Amazon. Now those are some big a*s hypocrites!

The Tech Oligarchs have supplanted the "Military Industrial Complex".

Note: They've achieved their wealth and control on the backs of the global narcissism that fuels social media.

Satan is pleased.

Does the IRS report the aggregate donations to non-profits?

How many trillions of dollars of tax avoidance goes down each year under the guise of a “donation?”
