Yup, I don't trust a single charity anymore. Even the ones that aren't outright scams seem to be managed like they are someone's personal piggy bank. The clinton foundation is a great example!

Nope, just a simple fact.

“What if you were to analyze the Clinton Foundation like any charitable organization? That is a question that we’re asking tonight. Does the Clinton Foundation wisely spend charitable dollars? Well the experts weighed in. The answer is a resounding no. One expert even called it a slush fund for the Clintons. These are not politicos. These are charity experts.”

“Charity Navigator, who we have on the show all the time, placed the Clinton Foundation on a watch list,” she continued. “They think there are problems with this non-profit.” She added, “Any Democrat—they say what a wonderful charitable organization it is doing to help people in need, people who are hungry, people who have AIDS. Listen, 6 percent of the money it collected in 2013, 6 percent — $9 million, of the $140 million in total it collected, went to help people.”

Willis read the $140 million 2013 spending breakdown from the New York Post, saying, “Here is a list of foundation spending—where the money goes: $30 million on payroll expenses, $9.2 to conferences and meetings, fundraising — $8 million. Nearly $8.5 million on travel.”



Clinton foundation spent more than $50 mln in travel costs

How would you define that, if not to say the Clinton's personal piggy bank? It's fucking disgusting!

🙄 Cancer is not one disease and biology is complicated.

However, the issues of charities wasting money is a very real one, hence, you should always look into them before donating to them.

As to the OP: I don't have a problem with charities having administrative expense, I get that. But the article in the NYT suggests that Wounded-Warrior goes above and beyond what would be considered normal expenses, and I would think twice before ever giving them a single cent. I'm also kind of annoyed that it seems that wounded veterans would have to rely on charities in order function in society. If we're sending our citizens off to war, we should have the public resources in place to help people back into civilian life when they are done serving.

Simple fact of dragging the thread off-topic.

How about providing a time reference for that quote/link above? You know, like this:




But I guess it sounds more dramatic when you leave off the time reference.

That was just the title of the article. I didn't particular care for it either. Fact remains the Clinton foundation is their personal piggy bank.

Seems likely. I actually brought up Wounded Warrior over here-

http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2462101

I linked material pertinent to the Clinton Foundation several times, material indicating that the foundation is a helluva lot more legit than WW. Other links in the thread are the usual propaganda tailored to weak minds suffering from extreme confirmation bias. The RT link downpage from your post is much the same.

Our Hillary hating troll was a thread participant. Yet he persists in making every thread about anti-Hillary accusations.

Repetition is the soul of propaganda & that's exactly what we're witnessing- a fraud & a poseur whose zeal for bernie is just a scam, a platform for bashing Hillary.
 
More legit than an outright scam.... ffs dude! Stealing charity money... It takes an absolutely disgusting human being to do that.

I'm not defending any charity, but it is you who are spewing propaganda. This is an organization ripe for a RICO investigation.

Foundations should be disassociated with a sitting president and immediate family members, the same way that direct owning of companies and stock are.

“We’re not trying to hide anything,” he says. There are in fact 1,100 undisclosed donors to the Clinton Foundation, Giustra says, most of them non-U.S. residents who donated to CGEP.

The Clinton Foundation’s finances are so messy that the nation’s most influential charity watchdog put it on its “watch list” of problematic nonprofits last month.


The Clinton family’s mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but spent just $9 million on direct aid.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The board of the Clinton Foundation said Wednesday night that it will continue accepting donations from foreign governments, but only from six nations, a move that appears aimed at insulating Hillary Rodham Clinton from controversies over the charity's reliance on millions of dollars from abroad as she ramps up her presidential campaign.

According to the New York Times, Bill Clinton was willing to show up at the Petra Nemcova gala commemorating the 10th anniversary of the tsunami to accept an award only after the skids were greased with an invoiced $500,000 donation.

Yes, the NY Times, Huffington Post and Bloomberg are right-wingnut extreme radical, etc. etc. Not something that Jhhnn would ever read.

So what? Neither Clinton has been president since 2000.

The Bloomberg article points out that Canada allows anonymous charitable donations, just like the US. What you choose to make of that is merely innuendo.

The NYP article has been previously debunked in the thread I linked.

The Huffpo article-

The board of the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation said that future donations will only be allowed from the governments of Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom — all nations that previously supported the charity's health, poverty and climate change programs.

Some very notorious characters, huh? Must be a conspiracy!

The Inquisitr hit piece is sour grapes from a former employee.

It's a lot easier to spread bullshit than to clean it up, obviously.
 
Hillary runs a fraudulent charity, and steals money from the most vulnerable of society. She is pro war, which is essentially a corporate welfare program. She wants to murder innocent brown people for money!

This bitch is a disgusting person.

And you want to mock trump.....

You have every opportunity to create a thread about Hillary (which you often do).

Is it really this difficult for you to leave a thread not about Hillary, nor Sanders, nor the presidential election in the slightest, to the original subject it was created to discuss?

You must surely be getting some good kickbacks for your promotion of Sanders across the internet.

Weak sauce. If you can't do better than that your sponsor will probably cut you from the roster.
