30 seconds w/Mika on Morning Joe ..... about 10 minutes ago

Turned the show on to look @ the time and Mika was asking a
guest what are the similarities between the Clinton Foundation
and the Trump Foundation? No shame @ all.

Clinton Foundation = A+ rated charity that has helped over 400,000 people.
Trump Foundation = Slush Fund for Trump using other people's money.

Liberal Media =

The "media" has the mistaken idea that they have to be equal to everybody when their duty is to be fair. So because Trumps foundation is bad, Bills has to be bad too. That's not how it's supposed to work.

End of story.

BTW The Clinton Foundation is helping > 10,000,000 hiv + people from
dying with aids. But the Clinton Foundation is being swiftboated just like
John Kerry was in 2004 for his service in Vietnam (Silver Star, Bronze Star
3 purple hearts, and Kerry did not lose one person in some of the most
hazardous duty in the war).

And besides, wasn't the Assface foundation served with a cease and desist recently?

Little similarity there.

spent all last week bragging up how she was such a big women's advocate while desperately engaging in the spin to tamp down Hillary kicking Trumps ass. This monday she chastised Hillary for being too confident.

And, yeah, this foundation bullshit is standard fare R/D double standard. Trumps foundation is a hot fucking mess, and god willing this country is not stupid enough to elect the dolt, it IS going to end up in big legal hot water and very likely including criminal prosecution.

Holy fuck I hate our media and am fed up for shit over this country's dumb assery when it comes to conservativism.
