Whoa! Calm down. You seem very sensitive and upset about criticism of your sources. I counted 3, maybe 4 left and far left sources just today.GMa4all wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 1:57 pmStop taking about me with her!hockeymom87 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 1:22 pmI wonder what her google search history looks like?DSamuels wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 1:15 pm I see you took my advice.

Time magazine, New York Times, Washington Post, BBC, Minneapolis Star Tribune, USA Today, LA Times, etc. all rated as accurate, factual.
I’m a moderate. I used to be a Republican.
I bet a lot of others have reported about the Trump offspring too.
The Trump’s legacy is so well known.

So you agree what they might have done, I believe Carpy posted what they did wrong, is comparable to child molestation? WowFrancee89 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 4:41 pm“Perhaps unknowningly”?

Seriously?

If the only options here are that Ivanka is corrupt or incompetent, and Trump claims to be against both, why is it acceptable she still has a job in government, which has considerably higher stakes for lots more people than their unscrupulous charity ever did?

Where, precisely, did I say that? My questions were whether ignorance of the rules is any excuse, and why it’s acceptable that supposedly anti-corruption Trump is keeping Ivanka employed when the only plausible explanations here are that she was either incompetent or unethical.DSamuels wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 7:19 pmSo you agree what they might have done, I believe Carpy posted what they did wrong, is comparable to child molestation?

Carpy also conveniently forgot to mention the charity money was also used to settle lawsuits and buy things for himself. You can read the settlement, which states that all Parties agreed to the wrongdoing outlined within here: https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/fbem/D ... ystem=prod

Certainly speaks volumes that they’re either too incompetent or too unethical to do such a simple task properly!
Oh, weird, you omitted that Trump was using the charity funds to settle lawsuits in his for profit business interests and buy things for his own use, like a 6 foot portrait of himself and a signed Tim Tebow helmet. That sounds...what’s the word? Corrupt.

You're wrong. He wrote checks from the charity to pay his personal legal fees, personal donations and other items over the years that personally benefited him. (Sounds familiar).
Read the Judge's findings. The Judge writes that the veteran's money did eventually reach the veteran's charities. That wasn't what he was fined for. One issue with the veteran's charities, however, was that Trump put about $3 million of the donations collected into the Trump Foundation and delivered checks to veteran's charities during his campaign stops with BIG checks as props with the the name "Trump Foundation" making it look like he donated it. Status quo for him but that's not why he was found guilty of stealing from charity.In her June 2018 petition to the state’s Supreme Court, then-New York Attorney General Barbara Underwood wrote:
“For more than a decade, the Donald J. Trump Foundation has operated in persistent violation of state and federal law governing New York State charities. This pattern of illegal conduct by the Foundation and its board members includes improper and extensive political activity, repeated and willful self-dealing transactions, and failure to follow basic fiduciary obligations or to implement even elementary corporate formalities required by law.”
The irony that since 2008, he did not contribute a dime of his own money to a charity with his name on it.
I don't blame his children. They could hardly tell Trump what to do.

She's wrong. That's not why he was fined $2 million dollars for stealing from charity. So sick of seeing disinformation spread around.Francee89 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 7:35 pmCertainly speaks volumes that they’re either too incompetent or too unethical to do such a simple task properly!

Carpy was wrong. Read the Judges findings is you really want to know what happened. And what he did with the veteran's charity money, putting in his own charity and wrote big checks with his name on it as if it came from him? Pretty despicable, unethical, shady, whatever. Not what he was fined for though.DSamuels wrote: ↑Fri Dec 13, 2019 7:19 pmSo you agree what they might have done, I believe Carpy posted what they did wrong, is comparable to child molestation?
