  1. Now compare LeBron to your hero. Donald Trump is a rich man—even if just how rich remains an open question—and he and his campaign have long insisted that he is also a very charitable fellow. “I’ve given millions away,” Trump said in May. The sentiment was reiterated this week by Jason Miller, his campaign spokesperson. “Mr. Trump is generous both with his money and with his time,” Miller said, in a statement reacting to the latest Washington Post reporting on Trump’s charitable foundation. “He has provided millions of dollars to fund his Foundation and a multitude of other charitable causes.” How many “millions of dollars”? People around Trump have answered that question in a number of ways. A couple of weeks ago, Mike Pence, Trump’s running mate, said that anyone “who knows about Donald Trump and his career knows that this is a man who’s given away tens of millions of dollars to charitable causes throughout his business life.” In July, Trump’s son Eric said his father had given away “millions and millions and millions of dollars.” Last year, on the same day that Trump officially launched his Presidential bid, his campaign provided a specific number: a “summary of net worth” document made public that day stated that Trump had given away $102 million between 2009 and 2014. Trump’s charitable giving has now become a campaign issue, largely due to a series of Post articles written by David Fahrenthold and his colleagues. Back in April, Fahrenthold and Rosalind S. Helderman reported that they couldn’t find a single cash donation to charity that Trump personally had made over the previous five years. The Trump campaign had provided the newspaper with a list of donations made by the candidate, but many turned out to be gifts-in-kind from Trump’s businesses, such as free rounds of golf at Trump courses donated to charity auctions, and land-conservation agreements to forgo development rights on Trump-owned properties. The only cash donations were from the Donald J. Trump Foundation, the family charity that Trump established in 1988. But the Post also pointed out that Trump hadn’t given any of his own money to the Trump Foundation since 2008—almost all of its funding came from other people, including some of his business associates. The Post has delivered other revelations. At the end of August, Fahrenthold reported that the Trump Foundation had violated tax laws in 2013 by making a $25,000 political donation to Pam Bondi, the attorney general of Florida. At the time the donation was made, Bondi had been considering whether to launch an investigation of the scandal-plagued Trump University. Democrats accused Trump of having tried to buy off Bondi, but Bondi denied that there was any connection between the campaign donation and her decision not to pursue an investigation. Regardless, charities aren’t allowed to make political donations. Trump’s aides said the payment from the foundation was the result of an administrative error, and that the money was supposed to have come from Trump’s personal account. Earlier this year, the foundation paid a $2,500 penalty to the I.R.S.
  2. Here educate yourself so you dont keep looking like a racist critical thinker. How much have you donated to any cause? https://born2invest.com/articles/lebron-james-generous-nba-star-today/
  3. Now he has a tantrum about how he is a critical thinker.
  4. You should man up and stop watching sports so you don't become a sellout like LeBron.
  5. And what if they dont do as you say? Will you be mad? Tantrum maybe?
  6. So much wasted energy again on nonsense. Im playing tennis tomorrow btw. Thought everyone should know what I am up to.
  7. And then hear a bunch of wives yell at their husbands. That would demoralize the opposing offense.
  8. They should also randomly throw stuff at the refs to keep them honest.
  9. amazing take. just amazing. one day you will care about women as you do for "tax payers"
  10. Good study by Duke just came out on masks and their effectiveness. I get at least a couple clients a week who mention that it has been proven masks do not work and I always wonder where they are reading this. After some reasearch, I have also seen couple doctors and other sites claiming they do not work. This might be good to read. Of course it is possible Duke is part of the deep state. https://hartfordhealthcare.org/about-us/news-press/news-detail?articleid=27691&publicId=395
  11. I think the point in signing him now is to show that the organization believes in him and the job he has done so far, and let him work in a more stable and comfortable environment during a very difficult year. One less thing for him to worry about.
  12. I am a Bills fan. I still check the news once in a while. Is that ok with you? So you do not give a ***** about overwhelmed medical facilities and doctors putting their lives on the line to save people? Be glad you live in America. Cause these restrictions are a joke compared to the rest of the world.
  13. I get what you are saying. I am completely detached from football this summer. My work is hands on with people and I am trying to run a business, make money and stay safe. I really do not care anymore what happens with football. I am quite stunned at how this country is dealing with this and how selfish people are being in general. Very disappointing.
  14. Who cares what he tweets. There will not be a season. I am not sure why people cant come to terms with this. It is over for the year. Hopefully it is one year. The way America is dealing with this virus it could be 4 years with no football.
  15. I don't think you are understanding disease transmission and how it differs from one to the next. Did you really bring up HIV?
  16. Wearing a mask to help others? Americans don't do such stupid things. You worry about yourself brother!
  17. Numbers should go down once the kids go to school.
  18. He would rather not read any science and just judge your comments.
  19. I suspect there will be a 2 game season. Or you can ignore reality and just keep thinking of some giant fairy tale. I mean that is the new American dream.
  20. are you talking about the president?
