Dear God, the dems have doubled down on the stupid.

The donations are for an event where Trump, and his sons may be at the event.


Seriously, the fake news from the dems on here is getting out of hand.


From your article.


Kinzie also said the information in the brochure posted by TMZ.com was not entirely accurate — he did not specify what was incorrect — and he added that the participation of Trump family members is not confirmed.

Noble cautioned that the details of the event and its association with the new nonprofit listing the Trump brothers as directors are still unclear.

I think that point was made. The Republicans just flushed their old guard. I find the tea-bagger connection to Trump quite laughable. Trump was the day neocons and tea-baggers died. Trump took in the old center left rust belt and formed a new broad based populism with idealistic as opposed to ethnic nationalism. Meanwhile the Democracts failed to stage a revolt in the old guard with HRC and seem to be the most recalcitrant and partisan among us. Its not looking good for them if they continue. There only hope is if Trumps fails horribly. I will certainly turn on him if he does , especially in the form of corruption.

"...a lot of money to go to sportsman’s charities"
I can see why the liberals are confused. They aren't used to seeing people with "charity" foundations actually use the money for charity...so they of course think that every time a charity pops up with a political, (or newly political) name attached to it, it's for nefarious reasons.

In fact, all of their whining took money away that was going to be raised for a children's hospital simply because the NYSlimes cried that it was "unethical" for Ivanka Trump to have an auction at a coffee house.

I'll remember that the next time any liberal puke wants to spout something is "for the chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiildren". They don't give a s--- about kids.

Liberals are complete mental cases these days and should seek therapy....preferably shock therapy.

Don't forget that all the dems stated over, and over again that selling access was perfectly legal, and they had no problems with it.

The Rightists have been saying that the Clintons were past history and to forget about them. But they certainly have found them handy in their attempts to excuse Trump's corruption, by making claims about them. Not much misbehavior has ever been found about them and even less prosecuted, but Trump barely makes any pretense about his, running money-making rackets in plain sight. He and his family obviously think they're immune from being held accountable.

I was initially very skeptical as I had never heard of the Center for Public Integrity but they appear to be a legitimate watchdog group which accepts not government funds or advertisers (which is always a good sign) so maybe this story has some legs.

Center for Public Integrity - SourceWatch

It will be interesting to see as more information comes to light.

I think this one also warrants some sort of response from the POTUS elect or his administration even if it is just a denial.

You dems insisted that selling access was perfectly legal, and that you had no problem with it when it was the Clintons doing it.

The story, as always is unconfirmed, and the event organizer publicly stated that the participation of any members of the Trump family was not confirmed.

But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of your fake news.

yeah, I was wondering what the next move was for the dems, just one fake thing after another. It's getting so tiresome, I wish they would just take their crying rooms off the grid.

I'm not a "liberal" but I don't believe this for a second.

With that said, I do think Trump has made enough GOP enemies that when he screws up bigly there will be an impeachment effort.

Prove it. You can't because there is plenty of corroboration upthread.
