Regarding Trumps 990 form, I can provide probably a dozen articles showing that he donated only to himself, with minimal effort.
But, we wouldn't be having this conversation if McCain was telling this joke. "why is Ivanka Trump so hot? Because Janet Reno is NOT her father ? Yeah....we all make mistakes. Give me a brake. Oh, wait, Trump IS in the White House and Hillary is not. You know the point. Where all the lawsuits prior to Jan. 2017?

This is a farce: (From the PBS, et al articles )

The foundation’s mission says its funds are to be used “exclusively for charitable, religious, scientific, literary or educational purposes,” either directly or through other organizations, according to the court filing. In keeping with federal tax rules, the charity’s incorporation documents say none of its resources can directly or indirectly go to the benefit of its directors or officers and none of its activities can benefit any political candidate, the filing notes.

Why is it a farce? 9/11 museum's 990 shows a 7.5 million dollar loan to one of it's board members. (guns for me Mikey Bloomberg) Unless I don't understand charity law, isn't this illegal as well? Chessy Bay foundation has board members that handle its investments. And on and on and on.

"It's only the hypocrites honey!", he said. "well, you'll be friendless", she replies.

Why God Is Laughing at Brett Kavanaugh

"Fairness is rooted in the idea of principles, precedent, proportionality. Few people in American life witnessed at closer range than Kavanaugh the modern reality that when things really matter—in the way that the balance of the Supreme Court matters—all these fine notions matter less than the cold, hard exercise of power.

So here was Kavanaugh—who spent his early thirties as a Ken Starr warrior pursuing Bill Clinton for the political and legal implications of his most intimate moral failings—now in his early fifties facing a political crisis over disturbingly vivid, passionately contested, decades-old allegations about Kavanaugh’s own possible moral failings."


[snip]

"With the benefit of hindsight, Kavanaugh later concluded presidents should be shielded from criminal investigations of the sort he helped wage against Clinton. At the time, however, he was filled with righteous indignation. “It is our job,” he wrote colleagues in Starr’s office in an email, “to make his pattern of revolting behavior clear—piece by painful piece.”

Can Kavanaugh and his supporters really be surprised that opponents of his nomination will feel similarly righteous in wanting to examine allegations against him piece by piece?"


Sorry, Brett, but what this means at the end of the day is:

WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND.

Wonderful. Don't let the packaging fool you...she's as radical and ambitious as they come.

HOW THE TRUMP ERA LAYS BARE THE TENSION IN THE MARRIAGE BETWEEN CONSERVATISM AND CAPITALISM

“There is a real potential now for a change in the conservative position on whether to regulate the harsher aspects of the market. If you look at the politics of young people today, they tend to widely share a more critical perspective on the question of what capitalism has delivered for society,” said Kolozi. “I don’t think conservatives will become socialists, ever. But a much more regulated capitalism is something that they are going to have to seriously think about accepting in the foreseeable future.”

What we need is BALANCE

the liberals need the conservatives and the conservatives need the liberals.

Society needs people who want to try new things and ideas and it need people who say - hey, we may want to think a little before we try THAT....

But now, the conservatives never say wait, and the liberals (as symbolized by the Clinton machine) have lost sight of their ideals.

Both parties are more interested in the fight - and have forgotten WHY they fight exists .... for the betterment of society.... :roll:
STILL somewhere back in the day....

i think you already know my response to that ... TAMATS. But, I already answered your question in my original post - they no longer say tap the breaks fella's lets be careful on the turns. They now just reach over and push down harder on the gas pedal...

Neither party stands for anything other than making money and getting re-elected to make more money. The left does a better job of putting a pretty face on it, but I probably poke at them more because I find it more hypocritical. I expect the GOP to be heartless scumbags......

This may be what separates each party's establishment wing...at what point does a wide-eyed newbie to elected office get seduced over to the dark side of establishment policy?
