He should be taking the time to bring America together but shit like this and how he is Winning...divides the country big time
All fine and good, but why does it always go back to her? She is out of the picture so keep bringing up her shit is silly.
^^^ ouch, that's even worse...this doesn't help either; http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-brennan-russia-20170523-story.html
and a slightly different take...... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/201...llusion-with-russia-as-media-shift-focus.html interesting perspective from the Germans who basically hate trump as much as ron does....they caution that the the constant barrage of accusations will eventually result in sympathies, improving his chances of reelection. they ask why the us media just doesnt sit back and let the special counsel do its thing and focus energy on their own agenda. that from a risk adverse culture....lol! As for the chinese, they are almost at a hannity level of lovefest for trump, then again they care little for politics religion or culture..its all about business.
^^^lol, LA Times has a different view than Fox?...say it ain't so. ...not sure why people would "sympathize" with Trump, and I've said from the time he was elected that I hoped he'd prove me wrong...but I'm sorry, thus far his administration is a complete fail. ...the midterm elections will likely do him in, if he lasts that long...plus, now I see he's lawyered up. http://fortune.com/2017/05/24/donald-trump-marc-kasowitz-russia-probe/

McGovern's as fkd up a CEO as Trixon is a potus. Ntm- the Red Cross can't count; or cook the books, in all respects, another crooked con non-profit profiteering org.... Red Cross workers barely make hourly min. wage, while Mgr's.; Directors make pretty competitive salaries, while the CEO binges, and lies about her salary, hidden bonuses, and the company's fraudulent record keeping practices of errant costs projections...et al. https://www.propublica.org/article/red-cross-ceo-has-been-misleading-about-donations "What the Red Cross does is take donated blood and sell it to health care providers."
this is a pretty revealing; interesting story: https://www.propublica.org/article/the-red-cross-secret-disaster a couple of excerpt/out takes- The Red Cross began to see the effects of McGovern’s changes in late August 2012, when Hurricane Isaac slammed into the Gulf Coast. The storm lingered over Mississippi and Louisiana, causing major flooding and more than $2 billion in damage. In some low-lying areas, residents had to be rescued from the rooftops of their submerged homes. The Red Cross mobilized hundreds of volunteers, equipment, emergency vehicles and supplies. But it couldn’t marshal them promptly enough to help many Isaac victims. When Rieckenberg arrived in Mississippi to help coordinate victim care, he witnessed the incident that so troubled Dunham, the emergency vehicle driver. An official gave the order to send out 80 trucks and emergency response vehicles — normally full of meals or supplies like diapers, bleach and paper towels — entirely empty or carrying a few snacks. The volunteers “were told to drive around and look like you’re giving disaster relief,” Rieckenberg says. The official was anticipating a visit by Red Cross brass and wanted to impress them with the level of activity, he says on Oct. 29, 2012, Sandy hit New York. The superstorm was the worst to hit the northeast in a generation. In addition to President Obama, Mitt Romney and Bruce Springsteen urged people to donate to the Red Cross. The charity ultimately raised $312 million to help Sandy victims. (ProPublica has raised questions about the opacity of Red Cross disclosures on how this money was spent.) But while its fundraising was torrential, its disaster response was a trickle. “The Red Cross would have been helpful if it had offered food, water, shelter, cleaning supplies, blankets,” says Rich Wieland, whose house in Toms River, New Jersey was flooded and whose neighborhood lost power for 16 days. His first contact with the charity came two months after the storm when Red Cross workers finally called to offer aid. “It was too little, too late.” Richard Sturiale, who saw the basement and first floor of his home in the Rockaways destroyed by flooding, recalls that “the only Red Cross truck my neighbors or I saw came two weeks after the storm.” In contrast, he says, Mormon and Amish volunteers “appeared at my doorstep offering much-needed help” just three days after Sandy. Rieckenberg, who planned the Red Cross’ mass care effort from Washington before the storm hit and then worked on the ground in New York, experienced the problem firsthand. In early November, the Red Cross had a limited number of emergency response vehicles, or ERVs, active in the New York City area. But multiple officials complained that the vehicles, a crucial part of the relief efforts, were being tied up at press conferences. On Nov. 2, 2012, at the peak of the post-storm crisis, 15 were assigned to public relations duties, Rieckenberg says. Meanwhile, Sandy victims in neighborhoods along the beaches like the Rockaways couldn’t get food and drinkable water. Rieckenberg documented his concerns in an email on Nov. 18, 2012, to Riggen, the Red Cross executive in charge of disaster operations, and later mentioned it in a December email to other top Red Cross disaster volunteers. Another Red Cross disaster response chief, Steve Ade, complained to a vice president, according to Rieckenberg and two other Red Cross officials. “I can’t afford to have my ERVs sitting around all morning,” Ade said. “Stop right there,” a Red Cross executive from headquarters responded. “These are not your ERVs. They belong to Gail and she’s going to do whatever she wants with them,” referring to McGovern, the Red Cross chief executive. In another diversion, an emergency response vehicle was dispatched to an early December photo-op with supermodel Heidi Klum to tour affected areas with Red Cross supplies, recalled a third senior Red Cross official who requested anonymity because the official still works for the charity. “Did you know it takes a Victoria’s Secret model five hours to unload one box off a truck?” the official says. “I was so mad.” The Red Cross says Klum was delivering supplies to families. Among the more worrisome instances had to do with sex offenders. Red Cross officials are supposed to track sex offenders who come to shelters and confer with law enforcement. But staff “didn’t know/follow procedures,” the presentation notes. There was an additional problem with “ unrelated adults showering with children.” The problems with the Red Cross’ response to Isaac began even before the storm hit. About 460 mass care volunteer workers — 90 percent of the workers the organization dispatched to provide food and shelter for the storm overall — were stationed in Tampa ahead of landfall, Rieckenberg’s emails from the time say. The hundreds of volunteers in Tampa weren’t only there for the hurricane: The Republican National Convention was going on there and the Red Cross wanted a large presence, Rieckenberg says. The Red Cross typically deploys about 20 volunteers to such meetings.

(Bonnie Jo Mount/The Washington Post via Getty Images) Emails from the time show Rieckenberg complained that Red Cross officials prevented disaster response leaders from moving volunteers out of Tampa even after forecasts showed that the hurricane wouldn’t hit the city. It was the first time in Rieckenberg’s experience that people in charge of disaster relief didn’t have the final say over where Red Cross volunteers were sent. The Red Cross disputes the notion that the Republican National Convention influenced their deployment, saying it was responding to early forecasts that Tampa might be in Isaac’s path. “There was nothing political in our decisions regarding Tampa,” the charity says. “We would have made the same decisions if it had been a convention of chiropractors.” But according to the National Hurricane Center, at least five days before Isaac made landfall it was clear the storm would not hit Tampa. The charity also insists that “the volunteers and resources we deployed to Florida did not come at the expense of other states.” It did not provide figures for how many mass care volunteers were on the ground in other states before Isaac. Whatever the reason the Red Cross sent so many volunteers to Tampa, a number of Red Cross officials say there were delays in getting them out. “After how long they were in Tampa, they obviously could not redeploy. They consumed all their available time and went home,” says Bob Scheifele, who served as mass care chief in Louisiana. A former major in the Army, Scheifele was so upset after Isaac that he drafted a resignation letter, though he ultimately decided not to send it. The overall Red Cross operation after Isaac was beset by problems. Rieckenberg emailed his superior at national headquarters on Sept. 12, 2012, to sound the alarm. “In Mississippi we were unable to open a single shelter with proper staff, materials and food resources prior to landfall,” Rieckenberg wrote. “We had trouble getting food to our kitchens.” The Red Cross’ relief efforts were “marked primarily by internal political wrangling, power struggles and ineffectiveness.”
In the last 30 yrs seems like the entire planet is crooked. Our Govt has been crooked for decades. From Tricky Dick to Trixrump. Our Banks, Wall St crooked, ie prime lending fiasco fkng of our Natl deficit. Bankers, Lawyers, the Catholic Church sex scandals, is anything left sacred???? Blacks Public Role Models crooks, ie Bill Cosby, OJ Simpson, Michael Jackson t/pedophile, Jackson, the douche bag Sharpless, the ex- tax scammer Mayor of Detroit, Jesse Jackson jr a felon, et al. Plenty of white trash also. Politicians run for their own agendaes, Trumpixon, both Bushes "give me infalted oil prices or give me death"; or invade IRAQ over WMD we knew never existed. When our own Charity orgs are crooked, our nation is in dire decay. Church Leaders worse than chomos, adulters, Baker, Swaggart, tons of others, and of course the Diocese of everyplace. Nothing is sacred, or so it seems. Even a few Buddhist Abbots have gone down in flames for indiscretions, from sex to fraud.... what's the world coming to, when black kids wear their pants below their ass, not even knowing what they're emulating. What they're emultating is the gay transexuals who reside in Prisons, and began this open ended (pun unfortunately intended) pants below the ass look. Exactly where it all began, prisons. Now idiots walk down streets, appear in public places, emulating a dress code they're not even aware of; or what such means; and its on the streets of much of so cal, in my face, - ... (my blood boils) -... where'd I leave my 12 shot Ithaca deer slayer PS, I wish it were still the ol' west....
Executive salaries will always push the limits, because they can. In the case of the Red Cross, their are many other charities in which to donate. If the CEO salary offends you then make sure they know why your donations go elsewhere. When that number of lost donatio s becomes significant, the board will react. It's a pretty simple formula. So you can either gripe and do nothing, or take action...the latter is more respectable. Petsonally my family stopped donating with Red Cross specially because their overhead isn't the best. Plenty of worthy 4/4 charities, check out charity navigator website....cool stuff there. But I digress, how goes the Trump hate thread these days, lol! I see the 4th stepped on their dicks and are lined up for a Supreme smackdown. And I'm trying to figure out why Kushner is evil when he was following Kissinger's playbook (Kissinger actually advised Trump transition team)? Apparently the new media doesn't know what a backchannel is.. .come-on fucking Obama was spying on Trump to dig up shit for 2020. If you don't believe that you are a libtard in pinstripes, so not completely deplorable, lol.
