You think we think you're kidding?

More reason to vote for the tree stump.

Nearly two-thirds of the money the Biden Cancer Initiative spent since its founding in 2017 went toward staff compensation and six-figure salaries for top executives. The group spent far less on efforts to eradicate cancer.

One of several nonprofits Joe Biden created following his tenure in the White House, the Biden Cancer Initiative paid top executives lavishly, with salaries comprising nearly 65 percent of its total expenditures. That is well above the 25 percent charity watchdogs recommend nonprofits spend on administrative overhead and fundraising costs combined.

The nonprofit raised and spent $4.8 million over its two years in operation, its 2017 and 2018 tax forms show. Slightly more than $3 million of that amount went to salaries, compensation, and benefits. At the same time, the group spent just $1.7 million on all of its other expenses. A bulk of this cash—$740,000—was poured into conferences, conventions, and meetings. It did not cut a single grant to any other group or foundation during its two-year run.

An analysis of nonprofits by Charity Navigator, which rates charities for effectiveness, found that mid-to-large-sized nonprofits paid their chief executives an average salary of $126,000 per year—far less than what the Biden Cancer Initiative paid its president, Greg Simon, who pocketed $224,539 in 2017 and $429,850 in 2018. Charity Navigator's primary criterion for rating charities is whether they "spend at least 75% of their expenses directly on their programs."

The Biden cancer group's financial disclosures may raise new questions about whether the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee allowed associates to profit off their access to him.

Hmm. Interesting that you didn’t disclose your source for that is Fox News.

and yet, the numbers , from Biden Cancer''s 990, present similar sameness. (pg. 7 for Simons salary/benies)

Just like other attempts by Trump to attack Joe, this one is dumb as a rock.

Do you really think Trump wants to go toe to toe with Joe over charities? Perhaps not, but I do. You may recall that the Trump “charity” was ordered dissolved by the court for fraudulent activity. As it should have been. His children, who were officers of the charity, have been ordered to stay out of charitable ventures for a period of time. About the only thing of significance the Trump “charity” did with its funds was buy a portrait of His Holiness and try to pay off the Florida AG so she would stop investigating the “charity.” So, councilor. Nothing to see here, at all?

Reminds you of the “health” issue Trump tried to raise about Biden. That is, until Trump couldn’t walk down that slick, icy, steep-as-Mount Everest ramp and needed a second hand to drink a glass of water.

And we don’t hear much more about “Basement Joe” after Trump became Bunker Boy.

Base numbers:
Strong plus Lean to Biden = 248 EC votes
Strong plus Leans to IMPOTUS o d = 125 EC votes

Joe then only needs to win PA with its 20 EC votes and NH with its 4 EC votes to cross the 270 EC threshold.

So what am I missing? What is the “there” that is supposed to be there?

There are zero donations, They had close to 4mm in the account. Seems salaries in excess of 200k/yr to do nothing at all, far exceeded helping others as intended.

Democrats make cr@p businesspeople so they tend to abuse the charity game far more than normal Americans. Good catch. Maybe Joe will be arrested. You’d be if you did the same.

Democrats are the worlds dumbest when it comes to the law of unintended consequences.

we're not influencing elections here on fanlax, but polls are getting a lot of play lately everywhere. a novice, i woulda thought democrats would downplay all polls after 2016.

Polls are getting a lot of play by the media, but read the comments sections: TONS of people saying ignore the polls: organize, register, vote. Even if the polls are right, the trumpistas are going to cheat as massively as they possibly can. There have to be enough votes to overwhelm the creating.

Where’s the beef?

What’s next? Stories about the time Joe hooked his drive off the 5th tee into the woods? Oh, the horror.
