    LOL @ me. Sorry for any confusion - I was so amazed to remember the password for this account, I didn't stop to check that the profile was accurate. For the record, I've been an atheist for about 25 years. I have no clue why this account would have "Christian" selected as faith (either I mis-entered it when I set it up a long time ago, or I inadvertently toggled it at some point). But I can definitely appreciate how bizarre the "Christian" label it makes my previous post sound. I literally just spotted that and am posting this. Right after I submit, I'll change profile to "Atheist".

      Isn't it a bit of a stretch to be clamoring 'something is unfair' given that this is the most favorable environment trump could possibly hope for in terms of having people in the wings ready to look the other way, whereas this is perhaps the most unfavorable environment possible for the Clinton foundation. I mean I know you think something is unfair here but - really?

      Well to be fair, I was only making a joke with Charles and his "whataboutism" comments whenever someone mentions Obama or Hillary.

      And I never said anything about "unfair" so I have no idea what you are going on about.


      I am glad they are making Trump shut down his charity. I just wish they would do the same with the Clintons. The Clinton foundation is pretty shady too as far as I can tell.

        The Clinton Foundation is pretty much shutting down by attrition.
        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

          It's curious how donations dried up when the donors realized they weren't buying a president.

            I wonder how many of them would love to be able to get their money back.

                Curious how the organization is still doing fine regardless of the reduced status of the Clintons. I can't wait for the results of the promised republican plan to hold hearings this month on the conclusion arrived at from the federal investigation into the non-profit. Have those hearings begun yet?

                  In other Trump-crime news, Trump's 2020 reelection campaign seems to be already committing crimes...

                  Trump 2020 campaign used a shell company to pay ad buyers at the center of alleged illegal coordination scheme with NRA:



                  Maybe Trump thinks that if he continues to commit new crimes fast enough, that Mueller's team and other investigators won't be able to keep up? Trump's idea: "If I commit more crimes faster than Mueller can write them down, I can outrun him, and he will never be able to finish his investigation. Can't prosecute old crimes if I do new ones, Mueller!"
                  "I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
                  "Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
                  "[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

                    I see the word "alleged" used a lot in the original article which seems to be from a liberal blog site.

                      Which somehow isn't a term that matters much when it comes to you and yours opinions concerning Clinton.

                        I allege that both Clintons are crooks.

                          Nothing "alleged" about what Clinton did. They had the servers and the emails to prove it.
