Now we've got Bill and Melinda = Belinda
All we need now is a Butchy Boy to make a complete Bozo Show...
(for those old enough to remember)
It is just sad for them.
All that cash donated will line pockets of the folks running things - won’t really do much.
Can you say HYPOCRITES and ELITES? I knew you could.
It is his money and he has a right to do with it what he wants.
I sure do think he is doing an evil thing tho. I doubt I will ever have the opportunity to do even the slightest thing to punish him but if I do, I will. I feel the same way about all the other people seeking to destroy Western Civilization.
“Gates has become too weird to look up to.” He was never worthy of being”looked up to.” Who is he, a god? Nonsense. Something happens to leftists when they make a lot of money, they go more left. It just shows they never had their head screwed on right in the first place, no matter haw much money they end up making.
Money does not equal morality. “I do not want your money, I want obedience.”
We’re in a new place with law and regulaton by money alone, as in purchased, bought, paid for, and not by the Constitution, nor by even its founding principles, nor by vote of the people.
The representatives in Congress are even mostly bought— eventually, perhaps, all of them bought, in an effort to compete with the opposition.
It's an item of note that he continued to work there until he retired. It was always rumored that he didn't like his son-in-law, but that could be office gossip...
How odd; wealthy people preferring an unarmed peasant class. Will wonders never cease?
So just buy more shit frm this guy and it will go away...
He's worth $85 billion. If he's only getting a 3% return on that (I think he does much better) then he's earning $291,000 per hour... every hour of every day.
Giving $1 million is just a token gesture (for him).
Does this included the Gates’s armed security personnel?
Yeah, that’s right...
Because their security detail, protecting his billion dollar family, use sling shots.....sure.

F’n nerds
Me looking up to him at one time had nothing to do with him having money or not.
Of course if I got within half a mile of the Gates Mansion with a look of bad intent on my face I’d be fired upon by a dozen armed men guarding his compound.
Insurance policy to be left alone.
