So now some people are against helping needy, helpless children, but have no issue with Saudi Arabia paying for Hillary's speeches.

I don't know about you, but kids with cancer should get more attention and money than supplying Iran with nukes. Certainly, makes more sense than making oil deals with countries who hate their own people. Nice try trying to compare Hillary's sells of American resources going to Russia or China can drill off of our coastlines, but we can not!
Nothing precludes anyone from donating directly to St Jude's.

There is absolutely no reason to donate to a conduit.

Well, they both graduated from honors from two of the top schools in the country with non-fluff degrees so it seems like this is just political sniping.

Money pays for degrees, too.

Unless you want the favors they're offering.

Yes, we're well aware of that with Bush 2.0 and Gore's GPA's.

Graduating with honors is a different story.

There's a quote about Ivanka not being "skin deep" out there by her friend Chelsea Clinton back in 2015 before it was decided by politically driven posters that she must be torn down.

What silliness.

Taking rhetorical statements literally is not impressive. However if you feel compelled to do so , drop to your knees before addressing me as Lord.

Who is talking about Trump? Bring them before me. I am talking about the false equivalency of fund raising from citizens and foreign interests.

Trump has more interests overseas than the Clintons can dream of. Yet, you're going to tell me, he's never bribed anybody? Like a certain attorney general in a sunshine state?

Please. Defend him all you want.

Some of us don't have to believe you.

Who is defending him? I am defending people who realize the Clinton foundation is an unprecedented corruption. Sending someone a fruit basket so they can get approval to have a parking lot is not the same as accepting cash from Saudis.

I must have missed it - how is "the Left" forcing Erik to shut down his charity, exactly?
