Maybe you should recognize that everybody was dipping their hands into this.

But what is *far* more nefarious is that hillbilly and billybob were using taxpayer funds (usaid through her state dept, and student loans) and getting a kickback (16.5m) and are noted for the same high pressure sales, yet trump didn't abuse a political office.

Are you talking about the same company the Bush admin had contracts with? Are you now also saying that Clinton was directly responsible for how that company did business in the same way trump was responsible for how Trump U did business? Are you also now implying that the for profit college bill Clinton helped promote operated with the same degree of shadiness as trump u?

You are all over the place! What's truly amazing is how batshit crazy you get when your idol is criticized. Even if all the accusations you believe were true about the Clintons, your idol is still worse! He's the guy running the whole scam! And what's your response? You cover your ears and scream.

Lol

It doesn't matter what the specific issue is. The point is the enthusiasm to lie. Think about your personal life. How does your opinion of someone change when you realize they're lying about trivial things? This is a good business lesson they should be teaching at Trump "University" when it opens again. Play golf or cards with someone. If you catch someone cheating at golf, absolutely do not do business with that person.
A similar trick is used with contractors. If some contractor is working on your house, leave a $5 bill where they can find it. If they take it, that's everything you need to know about that contractor.


I believe that Trump's shady business practices will, however. It's hard to blame him for doing what all sharpies do, however, which is preying on the pigeons. It's not in his nature to do otherwise.

I won't be shocked if it doesn't hurt him at all. Deep down, we like the bad guy. There's a weird type of respect we have for people who are highly skilled at something. By all accounts, Steve Jobs was a massive asshole, but the people who hated him still had respect for him because he was so good at what he did. Bill Gates is another super intelligent guy with questionable ethics, but we still value his opinions.

Trump is almost like King Koopa. We all know he's the bad guy, but he's our bad guy.

Did someone just compare Steve Jobs and Bill Gates to Donald Trump?

Jesus wept.

Well, in fairness, the Steve Jobs or Bill Gates of ripping people off. Not exactly a ringing endorsement but hopefully that was the point.

True Believer, huh? I suppose that once Trump gets over with the fake hair & the fake tan then anything is possible, right? Hell, he's faked his way thru several, uhh, "creative" business bankruptcies, multiple real estate scams & maybe Trump U when it's all said & done. I'll grant that he's a con man without peer & that I have a certain grudging admiration for that. That doesn't mean I'm foolish enough to think that's what we need in a President.

Come on man, you can do better than that but you're getting drunk and you'll actually get worse as the evening wears on.

You follow a predictable pattern:

1. Start with a few bumper sticker logic posts
2. Get outraged about something, start telling people to eat shit.
3. Repeat random posts that aren't on topic at all.
4. Start forgetting your words, finally disappear sometime between 10:30 and midnight.
5. Repeat the next week.

Ohh, and just to be sure we're clear. The money came after 2010.

From the very article you clearly didn't read:

A Bloomberg examination of IYF’s public filings show that in 2009, the year before Bill Clinton joined Laureate, the nonprofit received 11 grants worth $9 million from the State Department or the affiliated USAID. In 2010, the group received 14 grants worth $15.1 million. In 2011, 13 grants added up to $14.6 million. The following year, those numbers jumped: IYF received 21 grants worth $25.5 million, including a direct grant from the State Department.

Yes, he posted that and I posted how it was ironic that she hit Trump on the topic. She can't justify her response when she and her husband clearly had a massive conflict of interest in their own for-profit school which has allegedly scammed people *AND* they clearly had a pay-for-play relationship and conflict of interest.
