A fool and his money are soon parted.

Jones will direct the money to charities of his choosing.

Two questions:

1) How much of that $100 mil can Jones legally pocket?

2) How much of that $100 mil WILL Jones pocket?

I guess if you shut up all conservatives and only allow people who agree with you to voice their opinion, that would make it quite civil.

This “philanthropic” award is just a way for Bezos to launder his money to more leftie causes.

CNN field commander Van Jones as part of a project to promote civility in politics...

like maintaining antifa/blm contact lists
promoting online social media bullies
printing placards and flyers for marxist groups
coordinating field cells for recruitment
acting as 'liaisons' and 'enforcers' with local politicians
saturating the media with more of the marxist messsage
bailing out their buds

The list is endless of the things they can do to "promote civility in politics" with $100 mil.

>>Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos announced that he would award $100 million to CNN commentator Van Jones as part of a project to promote civility in politics.<<

So, naturally you turn to one of the most divisive, extremists available to you?

And since there is no possible measurable outcome, jones and everyone he knows are set for life.

The story of "Pygmalion" (the great George Bernard Shaw masterpiece brought to nearly equal life in Lerner & Loewe's "My Fair Lady") is now revived by Bezos as "Pigmaleon".

Jeff Bezos as Henry Hoggins, Van Jones as He-lies-a-lot Donothing, Jeff Zucker as ColoNNel Dickering, and Andrew Bluegums Gillum as Donothing's father, Fred Sanford Donothing.

I heard the speech. Though Trump was not mentioned by name, there was no doubt who Bezos was referring to when talking about civility.

Never crossed my mind that Van Jones was a model for civility.

Imagine how butt-puckered Van was today when Bezos sent himself up in a rocket.

In the not too distant past, such large amounts of money were only seen in a few contexts: government construction funds, the buying/selling of a company/corporate assets, or a very large drug deal.
