1. They have literally saved lives

and were trashed by the right, the media and the faux left for doing so.

[Steven Maurer]

41. The AIDS medications to the poor by itself have saved several million

I expect Republicans to go bashing that. But when the Green kooks started in on it, with their conspiracy theory crap, that's when I knew I was done with them.

3. This is what transparency, the absence of corruption and a lack of self-enrichment looks like.

[brer cat]

8. Well said, LonePirate. nt

[Angry Dragon]

4. versus the crooked Trump foundation

[LonePirate]

5. Those ratings would be "F," "Fool's Gold" and "Zero Stars"

[alfredo]

14. The Clinton Foundation is public, Trump Foundation is private.

One has something to hide, one doesn't/

[Doodley]

27. But I bet you more people think the Clinton Foundation is corrupt. Trump and

the GOP took one of the most popular politicians in America just a few years ago and redefined her as corrupt and dishonest and Democratic lawmakers just stood back and let it happen.

[alfredo]

35. It is up to us to set them straight.

[emulatorloo]

43. Rove 101: attack your opponent's strengths

and lie and turn them into liabilities.

Clinton Foundation got the full Swiftboat treatment

[Me.]

6. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[Zambero]

7. But Trump gave $7 to the Boy Scouts!

That alone should be good for 5, maybe 10 stars. Did the BIASED liberal media ever give our Dear Leader full credit for this generosity???

[alfredo]

36. Did he give it, or pledge to give it then walked away?

A post below said he did, but with money from his tax exempt foundation.

12. In other news: Clinton Haters Eat Crow.

All of them.

[leftofcool]

13. Remember the good old days around here?

Back when the Clinton Foundation was bad?

[lunamagica]

17. How could I forget? Those were the days, my friend...

[oasis]

19. The value of half assed research is now revealed.

[StevieM]

15. Nope. They'll keep lying. (eom)

[StevieM]

16. The attacks on the Clinton Foundation were really low, even for Republicans. (eom)

[lunamagica]

18. But that is expected from them...the attacks here on DU...those really hurt

[Hortensis]

24. No "were" -- ARE. I just googled news on the foundation and 2 screens

of recent slimy lies popped up. Didn't look further. What I did NOT see was any honest news covering them.

[alfredo]

37. No it wasn't. They can go much lower and not even see the bottom.

[mcar]

44. The attacks from those who purported to be on the left

were purely despicable. And one of the reason we are where we are right now.

[betsuni]

20. A wonderful status quo for this establishment.

Someone should post this on JPR to see what happens.

[cilla4progress]

21. FOR

FUCKS SAKE! Oh how we've been lied to!!!!!!

28. The anti-Hillary lies won. She had approval ratings in the 60s just a few years back,

and they destroyed her credibility with their lies. It cannot be allowed to happen again to another candidate.

[Kensan]

40. Oh FFS....

That one is easily debunked. The Clinton Foundation's records are all available online, including the actual Form 990 tax returns. Anyone who bothers to check will see exactly how much the Clinton family members receive in the form of compensation (I don't want to spoil the surprise, but it's kind of nonexistent). It's amazing that people are so willing to believe, and then SPREAD, these false accusations. Five minutes of research is all that's needed (ok, maybe 10 minutes if you have to register for free access). Instead, we have millions of "morans" looking for affirmation of their pre-existing views and opinions. They have no idea they've become real-life examples of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I've got a few relatives in my family that are hard core conservatives, and it's painful to see how brainwashed they are. If a news story doesn't originate on Fox News, conservative AM talk radio or an approved alt-right website, it is dismissed immediately as "fake news". It requires no intellectual curiosity or critical thinking on their part.

The truly sad part is I have generally avoided family get-togethers over the last several years because I got so sick of the bullshit. I didn't want to be "that guy" bringing up politics, especially knowing how far apart our viewpoints were. But they just can't resist. They constantly spew crap, and I think part of their fun is to see if they can needle me. There's really no "winning" in that situation. I can make them look like the damn fools they are, but that also ruins what is supposed to be a nice reunion/holiday. So, I just find an excuse not to go...prior commitments, separate vacation, work, etc. It's better for my sanity, as well as my blood pressure anyway.

42. I hide his posts from my feed but occasionally I take a peak at what he is up to and

this post is pretty typical. Most of his posts can be debunked with a quick Google search. The racism is also blatant but I really don't think he has any idea.

I have tried to think of ways to respond in a way that might change his way of thinking but the brainwashing, echoing of false ideas and his limited social circle have really done a number on him. He is too far gone.

[WinstonSmith4740]

45. I'd tell you to pass this along to him.

But I'm sure Forbes is part of the fake media, too. Actually, Eric ran the thing really well. It was when the Orange Shartcannon ( to TheFerret!) got involved that the costs began to skyrocket.

46. Thank you. It is too easy to refute these memes and I am not sure proven facts can change

a mind of someone who is too far gone.

Love that Ferret!

23. They won't believe it

The Cons thinks the Clinton foundation is a slush fund for the Clinton's.they also think Hillary sold out America for contributions to the foundation when she was SOS.there is no proof but they don't care.

[Hortensis]

25. Well, we do. Let's just mention it now and then. :)

[lunamagica]

30. Good plan

[Gothmog]

26. The Clinton Foundation does life-changing work worldwide

[sandensea]

29. Meanwhile, over at the Trump Foundation...

Did Trump Once Pay His Son's Boy Scout Registration Fee With Charity Money?

On Monday, the president gave a speech to the National Scout Jamboree. As has come to be expected of Donald Trump, his appearance was a controversial one.

And, adding another stain to his presence at the event, the story of Trump possibly paying his son's Boy Scout registration fee with $7 from his own charity, the Trump Foundation, has gained new traction.

"In 1989, Trump apparently used a charity's money to pay his son's $7 registration fee for the Boy Scouts," tweeted Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold, linking to an October 2016 report in which he looked into Trump's philanthropy record, which the businessman regularly boasted about in public.

34. Last December, the psychopath lied about

dissolving his foundation. It still exists. I wonder if he's bought more paintings of himself to hang in his private businesses using the Trump Foundation's money.

[rockfordfile]

31. good

[mercuryblues]

32. Trump's family foundation

was issued a cease and desist for a number of violation from not being properly registered to using the charity to buy himself personal items like portraits of himself and to settle lawsuits he lost.

[spanone]

33. K&R...

[Tommy_Carcetti]

38. And yet they're sorely lacking in the self-portrait purchasing department.

Fail!

[riversedge]

39. nah. no one is perfect.
