Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Just a reminder that corruption is in the Trump family's DNA.
Actually they aren't going to be all that far at all from the Obamas, but I doubt that they'll deign to visit them when the Trump's bother to show up in DC at all.
They are a creepy, rigid group of offspring. Why doesn't the Trump family smile easily? None of them do and has anyone heard any of them provide a 'belly laugh'? I haven't!
Don't see a lot of humor and fun in the Trump household!
Donald Trump scares the Hell out of me and I fear for our country!
So I read the whole article, which clearly spells out the scam of the Trumps. The comments are unbelievable-poor Eric, being smeared by crybaby liberals. The Clinton Foundation is evil, and then all the lies they can make up about that. My God, these people are insane.
Gob-smacking, right? The Trumpsters cannot accept the truth; instead they turn it to attack the Clinton Foundation, saying that the Clintons used the foundation to pay for their daughter's wedding. Their argument is based on the crap they read or hear from the right wing which they believe without question.
How can we even try to reason with these people? The brainwashing is complete, like in a cult. Or like the Good Germans of an earlier time.
Trump's sons are dead ringers for B&B. It's uncanny. The family is ugly. Ivanka got plastic surgery that included a chin implant so as to not look like such a freak, but she has an abnormally small head even now upon a giraffe neck and she has the most plastic smile. The other adult kids are all ugly. They get called a beautiful family when all together, but that's just about clothes and long hair, and the spouses' presence helps. The Trump kids' actual faces are between average on a good day and hideous.
AP did a good job investigating poor Eric. The Trump's should have known that all things involving them would be put under a microscope....too bad the press waited this long but here we are. And remember, these boys did not invent the wheel.
Anyone donating to a charity should give the money directly to the charity. Not to a foundation who may or may not give a portion of your donation to the charity.
These so-called charities are just middlemen. They're bundlers.
Non-profits still make money.
They are allowed to take something like 10% of the funds they raise for "administrative purposes". That means if you can raise a million dollars, you can take 10% as your "salary".
Imagine the money Eric can make before passing the 90% that's left to Trump, who then takes 10% and funnels it on to wherever. *IF* it even gets there.
This is why donations must be closely researched. You don't want to donate to middlemen. Only to those actually doing the work. Because every non-profit middleman takes their cut before passing it on. The actual researcher or charity might only get 50% or less of what you actually donated.
I really think the plan is to grab as much money as possible as they must know this will eventually end. The network and expansion of the empire will already be done using the WH, so who cares about being president after they steal as much as possible. They can launch a zillion legal actions against the family but look how long it all takes....he knows the game. I too agree that the entire Trump breed have ugly facial features...esp Erik. They are a national disgrace and honestly....don't we deserve this? This country is just lazy, greedy with no memory....we can't even bother to vote. How the most despicable people are now running all 3 branches of our government is just too ridiculous to be true.
What I never read about is how our actual troops are feeling about their new commander in chief....the guys fighting the wars, in the trenches hoping to live another day. I just can't imagine what the moral must be like in the entire military and the intelligence communities. How can this not be called treason?????
I forgot to mention...Ivanka has her share of legal problems due to copying designs for her shoes & clothing & accessories. She has been collecting art pieces that hang in her apt & office and there are quite a few artists asking her to take them down as they do not want to be associated with that family at all.
"...She has been collecting art pieces that hang in her apt & office and there are quite a few artists asking her to take them down as they do not want to be associated with that family at all."
Excuse me? If the artist sold the piece, they don't normally have a leg to stand on. Of course, if the buyer was dumb enough to agree to the artist having control (in writing!) of WHERE it was hung....
This story is another example about how the Trump Family Foundations work. http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/lynn-sweet-eric-trump-foundation-ethical-issues-legal-issues/
The reporter, Lynn Sweet, went into the Chicago Trump Hotel and spent $35. for a stuffed beagle dog, because Eric has a beagle, and he claims that the $35.is a donation to his foundation who will in turn donate the money to St.Jude's Hospital. (NOTE TO EVERYONE. JUST DONATE TO THE CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE THE MONEY TO THE TRUMPS TO DONATE IT FOR YOU).
Lynn was asked if she was a guest at the hotel. That way, it could be charged to her room and they would let Eric know about her generous donation. No, Lynn wasn't staying at the hotel, so they put it on her credit card.
This is the important part of the story. the credit card charge was made to the Trump Hotel. Lynn's accountant said that she could not claim the $35. deduction to charity because the money went to the hotel. I don't want to pick on all of the other stores that ask you to add $5. for cancer research or another charity. It does not show up on your receipt as a donation. But the store gets credit for donating all of that money.
As for Eric, it would be interesting to know just how much he really donates to St.Jude's after paying for the dogs, and the administrative help in posting the charges and keeping track of everything. The stuffed Eric Trump Dog must be the tip of a huge enterprise where people who want to cozy up to the Trumps donate to their foundations. Who knows how much of that money ever reaches the charity it is supposed to reach.
Too many charities are a scam. They don't do charity work. They just bundle donations and pass them on to those that do. But in doing so they are allowed to claim non-profit status. They are limited to a small percentage to cover administration costs. But there is still great opportunity to make money doing this. That's how that bitch running Susan G. Komen was able to be paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in "salary". You better believe the Trumps do the same thing. Every one of them. This is separate from their money skimming buying trophies, paintings, paying off lawsuits and renting their own property. They are basically money laundering charity funds into their own pockets. They aren't the only ones. They're just so blatant about it it exposes the entire "non-profit charity" scam that others are also running.
I deliver money directly to our local food bank, it's the only donating that our family does, I don't trust any national charities, regardless of what charity navigator and other charity ratings sites say.
Where's Trump's Taxes
ReplyDeleteWe need to see it to see Donald Trump's connections with Russia, China and Taiwan.
How much does Trump owe them?
We need to see the fucker impeached soon after he takes the oath of office! He will be a deplorable pox upon our nation.
DeleteThe Eric Trump Foundation is only the tip of the iceberg. The next four years America will be investigating the Trumps.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet not as heavily or as extensively as Hillary was.
DeleteIn debt? desperate?
ReplyDeleteIvanka and Co. are moving not far from Casa Biscuitbarrel! I can't stand it!
ReplyDeleteUgh.
DeleteShe'll be 'blocks away' from the Obamas? Who gives a flying fuck? I seriously doubt the Obamas are worried about it.
DeletePlus, 'blocks' could be ten or twelve - which IS quite a distance.
The media blowing things out of proportion for the 'effect' as usual!
Actually they aren't going to be all that far at all from the Obamas, but I doubt that they'll deign to visit them when the Trump's bother to show up in DC at all.

They don't even have pets. They just shoot living animals for fun or have them cut up and put on their clothing.
DeleteCan they see their reflection in a mirror? Cross running water?
DeleteSo I read the whole article, which clearly spells out the scam of the Trumps. The comments are unbelievable-poor Eric, being smeared by crybaby liberals. The Clinton Foundation is evil, and then all the lies they can make up about that. My God, these people are insane.
ReplyDeletePoisoned Completely.

The screaming and catterwallIng from the right that the Clinton Foundation is more corrupt starts in 3, 2, 1.....
ReplyDeleteThe Beavis and Butthead meme of Donald Jr. and Eric that been circulating in social media is more than appropriate.

I'm sure they don't consider it "stealing" since they never intended the money to actually go to cancer patients anyway. :P
ReplyDeleteAnyone donating to a charity should give the money directly to the charity. Not to a foundation who may or may not give a portion of your donation to the charity.
ReplyDeleteIt's the same with politics. Donate to the candidate or to the political party; avoid the PACs.
DeleteI cannot understand why anyone would donate to an organization or foundation just hoping that the money will go to the charity designated.
Beaglemom
Exactly.
DeleteThe includes SUSAN KOMEN.
