We aren't talking the Oregonian here. They haven't endorsed yet. We are talking the Dallas Morning News, the Houston Chronicle, the Arizona Republic, Cincinnati Enquirer... papers that have a long history of endorsing republicans. barfo
Trump Foundation lacks the certification required for charities that solicit money Donald Trump’s charitable foundation — which has been sustained for years by donors outside the Trump family — has never obtained the certification that New York requires before charities can solicit money from the public, according to the state attorney general’s office. Under the laws in New York, where the Donald J. Trump Foundation is based, any charity that solicits more than $25,000 a year from the public must obtain a special kind of registration beforehand. Charities as large as Trump’s must also submit to a rigorous annual audit that asks — among other things — whether the charity spent any money for the personal benefit of its officers. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...ac6a68-8658-11e6-ac72-a29979381495_story.html
And nothing has changed. They have all endorsed the real Republican Candidate in this year's race, Hillary Clinton.
Speaking of illegal visits to Cuba... The Venceremos Brigade is a politically motivated international organization founded in 1969 by members of the Students for a Democratic Society and officials of the Republic of Cuba.[1] Carl Oglesby, Bernardine Dohrn, Julie Nichamin, Brian Murphy, Allen Young and other members of SDS were primarily responsible for the idea, organization and negotiations with Carlos Rafael Rodríguez[2] and other members of the Cuban government. The first trip in November 1969 numbered 216[3] and left from Czechoslovakia to skirt the U.S. government's restrictions on travel to the island.[2] It was formed as a coalition of young people attempting to show solidarity with the Cuban Revolution by working side by side with Cuban workers, challenging U.S. policies towards Cuba, including the United States embargo against Cuba. The yearly brigade trips, which as of 2010 have brought more than 9,000 people to Cuba, continue today and are coordinated with the Pastors For Peace Friendship Caravans to Cuba.[4] The first Brigades participated in sugar harvests and subsequent Brigades have done agricultural and construction work in many parts of the island, although the "work" portion of their trips has become largely symbolic.[5] According to debriefing statements made to the FBI by a Cuban Intelligence officer who defected in 1983, the Veceremos Brigade was controlled by Cuban Intelligence officer Alfredo Garcia Almeida, chief of the North American Section of the Americas Department and former political counselor at the Cuban Mission to the United Nations in New York City.[6] Despite this accusation, the organization as a whole has experienced little censure from U.S. authorities. But the FBI has questioned individual travellers over the years. In 2010, at least 12 brigade participants were visited by FBI agents, but were left in peace when they declined to be interviewed. Here are two pictures from that trip: The top picture shows a young American member of the Venceremos Brigade cutting sugar cane in Cuba. The second shows the same young American woman plowing Cuban fields in 1969. The young woman in both pictures is Wellesley graduate and newly registered Democrat (was a registered Republican until 1968) Hillary Rodham.
Those don't appear to be the same woman, and neither one of them even remotely resembles Hillary. Besides, we all know she was busy planting explosives and digging up gold at the site of the WTC in 1969. barfo
Kellyanne is a masterful deflector and liar. Very Charles Manson-esque. Her talent is truly remarkable.
Where is the Students for Democratic Society now? In the Clinton campaign and DNC. They went from protesting against the establishment to being part of it and making it bigger. I was a fan of the protests, now not of the protesters anymore.
