I.T. expenses????

…obviously excluding email expertise, unless they count shredder and permanent magnet costs.

That disgusting sow wants to set her own parameters on the freedoms granted under the First Amendment.

“If you think Hillary Clinton doesn’t really intend to repeal First Amendment protections of freedom of expression, think again:

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign has sent out a fundraising email arguing the website Breitbart News has no “right to exist,” and suggests that if elected, the website will be shut down entirely.

“We’ve had a conservative media in this country for a while,” says the email, sent Thursday and signed by deputy communications director Christina Reynolds. “I don’t always like what they have to say, but I respect their role and their right to exist Reynolds’ acknowledgment that the regular conservative media has a “right to exist,” though, is used to contrast it with Breitbart, which apparently has no such right.

“Breitbart is something different,” she says. “They make Fox News look like a Democratic Party pamphlet. They’re a different breed altogether — not just conservative but radical, bigoted, anti-Muslim, anti-Semitic conspiracy peddlers who never have been and never should be anywhere near the levers of power in this country.”

“They make Fox News look like a Democratic Party pamphlet.”

Shit. Foxnews has always looked like a democratic party pamphlet to me. I used to laugh at the asshole newcomers to FR who thought Fox was an opposition voice to the MSM. I quit laughing and left FR when that gaggle of assholes took it over during W’s campaign.

Over 2 million for I.T. Those levers of power must be gold plated!

US charities are only required to donate 3% of their earnings. Want to make a lot of money in this country? Found a charity. The 3% tax is nothing when you consider you are not providing a service or product. Just invest in decent marketing and advertising, and pocket the rest.

What a racket.

‘only’ 4.84 million for salaries/benefits? Does anyone know who get the big bucks and what their amounts are. Almost makes the multitude of 6 figure employees for the WWP look ‘reasonable’.

Where did the $86,520,000 go? ($177,800,000 revenue minus $91,280,000 ‘expenses’).

To fund her election campaign, I bet.

The Clinton Foundation is a slush fund not a charity. You see, it is against the law for a foreign corporation/person to donate to a Merikan election campaign but it is NOT against the law for foreign companies or individuals to donate to their foundation, hence the conveniently formed Clinton Foundation so Hitlery can get foreign contributions.

“it is NOT against the law for foreign companies or individuals to donate to their (the Clinton) foundation, hence the conveniently formed Clinton Foundation so Hitlery can get foreign contributions.”
—-Bea Lever

Correct. Plus …… if my information is correct, the Clinton Foundation was incorporated in Canada, where DONORS to charities do not have to be disclosed under Canadian law. Isn’t that even more convenient?

I am so-o-o-o hoping Julian Assange/Wikileaks and his hacker associates blow this bitch, her husband and daughter right off the American political front page. And I don’t give a fuck if Russian or Chinese hacking groups are involved. They’re doing our country a YUGE favor.

You’ve crossed over to the dark side SSS! Welcome!

I’d be curious to know what your former colleagues in the CIA and FBI think of what is going on today and where they think we’re headed.

SSS has gone from expecting and predicting the FBI would actually do its job to hoping that Julian Assange and Chinese/Russian hackers will step. It is a very sad day.

Look what the US has come to. Patriots like SSS (I mean that sincerely and respectfully) have been forced to turn to hoping foreigners will do what those in the US charged with upholding its laws will not do.

The rule of law is dead. The corruption of the entire system is complete. The Constitution, the greatest thing ever created by man, much as it pains me to say it, is now nothing more than a worthless, meaningless piece of paper. It has been eroded and interpreted and ignored and executive ordered out of existence. I hope that one day it can rise again.

But as for now, the good people of the US are fucked. May God bless them and have mercy upon them.

Rise Up

Sadly so, Llpoh.

For a foundation, 3% is shit. This is just another episode where the Clintons just don’t even give a shit.

Bea, I never gave it one bit of thought when I heard that a foundation was a good way to preserve family money for heirs. The Clintons have taken the grift mill to new lows laundering cash donations otherwise known as graft. Since the money never touches Hillary Macbeth’s blood-soaked hands directly, it only funds her lavish lifestyle, it can’t be called a payoff.

Thanks, llpoh. Accurate comment. I will be going to the 50th reunion of my graduation from the US Air Force Academy at the end of September. Email vibrations from my classmates appear, repeat appear, to mirror my thoughts. They are really, really pissed off at our government.

This is not good news for America. Military academy retirees are not just a group of retired old farts and are among the most loyal and influential members of American society and government. Have been for centuries. When that core starts to crumble, if it is in fact doing so, then there is ……… big trouble ahead.

SSS – Godspeed. I hope you can positively influence the situation. If you, and those like you, are despairing, then things are truly bad.

TBP is a bunch of people gleefully cheering our ruin.

The posts on here actually sound happy that the Armageddon is near.

Not one soul on TBP is doing anything about it, just running around saying “I told you so” and finger-pointing.

The only cheerleader for this bunch is the self-proclaimed slimeball of them all, Frump. At least he proposes things. They’re all ludicrous, but to the hopeless it is easy to sell hope (especially if it’s wrapped in the loathing of someone else.)

Now I’m going to be asked what I’m doing about it (the argument of a four-year-old: I kicked the cat but Johnny broke the window!)

Just what is needed in a disaster, a burning platform….

The Clintons have perfected the art of lying, but at least Bill had the charisma to pull it off. That is the competition that is facing the GOP? And they’re struggling?

You cunt make fun of your name – many of us have done our part already. I employed many, paid enormous taxes, allowed for the paying of tens of millions more in tax due to jobs I created out of nothing (I have heard I did not create that by dickhead-in-chief, but he is wrong), served my country, and raised my family never receiving a cent I did not earn.

So, yes, I can make fun of your name, you cunt. And just what have you done? I know you have tried to pre-empt the question, because the answer is obvious. So when I bitch, I have earned the right, unlike a dick like you.

You can't make fun of my name
You can't make fun of my name

How many employees did you take a loss on? So yes, you did earn many DOLLARS that you did not earn.

What sacrifice? Capitalist asshole making greed seem like a virtue!

What I preempted was the retort of a four year old.

I’ll give you credit for creatively making fun of my name though. I did foresee you stooping there, it’s a common tactic among the folks that regularly post to this site.

“you did earn many DOLLARS that you did not earn.”

Apparently, you have no clue just how fucking stupid you are. Go learn how to write in English and come back. It’s no fun beating the shit out of someone who can’t fight.

Llpoh

You cunt – I do not make losses. I have never made a fucking loss in my own business – not a single time in decades. Unlike dicks like you, I know what I am doing. And I saved numerous businesses from going under that were making losses, keeping people employed.

And I am damn proud of it. You call it greed. I call it achievement and success. My experience is folks like you that call it greed lack the ability to achieve, and so fall into envy of those that do.

What sacrifice? Hmm. Working 100+ hours per week to learn my trade. Working 70 hours year after year to hone it. Risking everything I owned, and my personal freedom, if I fucked up bad enough, to start my own business.

You are not fit to wipe the ass of folks who post here. And you will slink away soon enough back to your slime pit.

You can't make fun of my name
You can't make fun of my name

“Working 100+ hours per week to learn my trade.”

All the while knowing “I do not make losses. I have never made a fucking loss in my own business” which proves my point – you only employ people when it is to your own benefit. You calculate the profit before paying the wages, and call it benevolence.

Some sacrifice.

I’m not envious, I’m amazed. Amazed you can’t see yourself as you are, an inflated ego afraid of a pin-prick.

Just like many who post to this site, if you’d see a gadfly buzzing you into constructive action you’d kill it.

So go ahead and do the only thing you’ve done well today – make fun of my name.

You cunt – seriously, that is the dumbest thing ever posted on this site, and that is saying something.

So let me get this straight – you propose that business owners should start up a business without knowing their costs. And because a business owner knows his costs, that makes him greedy and non-benevolent. And therefore, per your extreme stupidity, that only by being a total ignoramus, by running a business not knowing costs, can a business owner be benevolent in your eyes (I never said I was benevolent – I just created good paying jobs). And you also seem to suggest employers should employ people when it is not to their benefit. Unbelievable.

Seriously, you are the stupidest motherfuck I have encountered in a very long time.

Making fun of (not my name now) but traits you ascribe to me…

Ooo! They’re ganging up on me. Now I’m scared. At least they’re looking in Canada (I think I’m safe.)

Llpoh, Your Highness, O Benevolent one!

You said you make great sacrifices (not me.) Remember this gem: “many of us have done our part already”?

Follow your own logic: I make sacrifices only when it benefits me…

And yes, odd as it may sound, there is a new model for businesses and it’s scaring the shit out of folks like you (I use the term folks deliberately. I could have used other another condescension that refers to your ignorance, but that’s racist.)

Perhaps “good paying job” doesn’t mean slavery any more?

Llpoh

You cunt – your really are stupid. I have adapted and persevered. Scared? Of what? I have faced my demons, and they are vanquished. Plus I am too old to be scared.

New business model? Please. There is no such thing. Make money or perish. Simple as that.

Please, enthrall us. Every blog needs its jester. Tag, you’re it.

So your sacrifice is self-preservation now?

You are an inflated ego afraid of a pin prick.

I thought I had spelled it out but then what good does spelling do for an illiterate.

Make money or perish. Build a wall. Think like me and you’ll be free.

You’re a dinosaur but their mistake was they didn’t foresee their extinction.

Why is there still a ‘Ford Foundation’ or a Carnegie Endowment for World Peace”. I am all for philanthropy but “charitable foundations” have turned into a multi-generation gravy train that have little to do with the original bequest.

If Henry Ford or John D. Rockefeller want to donate their money to some cause they find worthy, I’m all for it. Donate the money and move on. Don’t have a bunch of parasites ensconced in Class A office towers living off the bequest a century later.

I’d suggest this. Any foundation must disburse all of its assets within 25 years of the original bequest. Not only would this better ensure the donors original intentions are met it would also generate economic growth. Hoarding billions of dollars of assets to generate an income stream for generations of foundation executives to live off of was never the intention of any philanthropist.

In CA’s number system there is no half. Doesn’t realize that his cherished institutions don’t operate on a profit margin, like the military. Hasn’t begun to comprehend that the largest and most powerful companies created this decade have operated on another model.

Guess he’s a dinosaur too. Oh well, extinction awaits.

Good to see he’s clever with making fun of a name though. Sometimes that passes as intelligence around here.
