For the record, I agree with you.

I'm all for it with one disclaimer, Trump gets the same treatment with his 6' foundation painting.
Being semi serious I bet stuff like that happens with every business owner. Use a wedding as a networking event and use some monies toward the event as a business opportunity. I'm not saying this is right or ethical but I will say if Trump did the same with his wedding(s) all our roles would be reversed and we'd hear about what a business genius Trump is.

If you want to look at the life style possible bought through such corruption.

I don't think you understand, it doesn't matter if I am.

It does matter if you are and it doesn't matter what you think about that.

I challenge you to post a picture of yourself (face not needed) holding a $5 bill upside down (top of head facing the ground) below the voter rules or ballot initiative posting that is usually on a wall or board.
Then I will at least believe you are a US citizen. Post it in this thread.

OK, serious question coming your way; so let's focus for a minute. Forget the presidential election for a moment. Yes, I know it's important but just hang with me here. If some big-shot executive allegedly took money from his/her corporation to finance his/her nuptials, wouldn't that be something that ought to be looked into? Wouldn't that be possible theft / embezzlement? As some in the political world have stated in the past 'the seriousness of the charge dictates that we need to look into this'.

In truth, I have no flipping clue if this happened. But to me, the possibility of robbing a charitable foundation to pay for a wedded, especially when the ones who should be paying for said wedding are rich, is potentially a serious black eye on said foundation and the people running it; especially when the purpose of said foundation is to help out the poor and oppressed.

It very well may turn out that it was foundation money that went (officially) to pay her salary and said money was used for the wedding. One can do amazing things with bookkeeping; particularly properly accounting for money, thereby keeping one out of trouble.

Or is the above all of no consequence since you're just another little partisan drone that thinks it's perfectly ok when your team does it?

Partisan means believing in agitprop by default even after it's turned out false the last 50 times. Ponder for a while who that might apply to in this situation.

In sum, you & friends are the gullible tards the GOP can count on.

Shocking! Anyone that believes the CF is legit and out there doing good deeds around the world has their head in the sand.

I recall you were pretending to be some kind of independent a while back. If that's the case why do you instinctively believe every piece of right wing agitprop out there?

Anyone who believes that the CF is not legit and not out there doing good deeds around the world has their head in the sand.

That was easy.

And right on cue, little agent double oh fvcktard runs in and doesn't even address the issue of potential impropriety that I raised. My comment wasn't partisan in the least; you just didn't agree with it. As I said, I have no idea what actually transpired. But on the surface, any objective individual would have to come to the conclusion that it casts a shadow on the foundation. Now, I've been pretty busy in RL of late, so I haven't been able to determine if the accusation was baseless. If so, fine, all good. But I don't want any refutation to come from Clinton hand-waving; which the likes of you would accept without hesitation.

And trust me, little dullard, my wife and I are very picky as to the charitable organizations we support. And no, we don't donate to politically motivated causes. If anyone is a partisan troll, it's you. Now kindly put your helmet on and get back to eating paste.

Whenever evaluating aspersions & innuendo, it's important to evaluate the evidence & the source. There is no evidence, the attached email certainly isn't that, and the sources are the usual slime machine. I'll give it a 99.999% chance of being complete bullshit, as would any reasonable person.

As Molly Ivins once said, it's all hat & no cattle.

If his head was just in the sand it'd be no big deal. His is up his ass.

The only reason you're "asking the questions" is due to obedience, just like with vince foster, bengazhi, emails, etc. Your source tell you to jump, how high, and here you are as told. Of course these sources trumpet your smarts for figuring out the conspiracy, because god knows nobody else is accusing their audience of that, creating the perfectly pavlovian dunning kruger posterkids. "Them edumacated libtards are da real dummies, but we real mericans got it all figured out".

Nothing ever seem to materialize from their concern trolling, but loyalist simpleton by definition never let that dissuade them. They're evidently too goddamn stupid to realize how agitprop works on them even when informed of the situation in smallest possible words.
