Before the effin' media discuss whether the New York AG is being political I have one

[malaise]

simple question for them - does Don the Con's foundation have the correct paperwork to solicit money in New York - YES or fucking NO - the law is not blue or red.

1. I suspect he never completed any paperwork because he thought he could get away with it.

AND he probably would have, had his foundation not been in the news because it was being used by the Con to pay legal bills and such.

8. Also, he probably didn't want any oversight. He's a financial GENIUS! I tells you, a GENIUS!

Right, Rudie? Right up there with Einstein!

2. K&R....

You still have power! How goes it, malaise?

3. LOL

Well since Matthew slowed down to a virtual crawl, he is still hours away from a serious impact in my part of the city.

Let me put it this way

ABOUT 195 MI...SE OF KINGSTON JAMAICA

PRESENT MOVEMENT...N OR 5 DEGREES AT 6 MPH

The real rain and wind won't be here for some time.
Looks like the island will shut down for another full day

5. No - and all it would have taken is one check box and some supporting documentation

When filing the paperwork the Trump Foundation elected to file as a family foundation, not a public one that is allowed to solicit contributions. They could have filed as a dual foundation which can be both - they did not - but then they would have been required to submit additional proof of the activities of the foundation. There are more details and many links in the posts linked above.

6. Donald J tRump's ego is so big he thinks nobody would 1) notice, 2) care, 3) do anything, 4) succeed

Surprise, surprise, Donald. You really should have thought this all through before declaring because anybody who knows more than a 5th grader about how things work would know that everybody would be turning over rocks to see what squirms.

But, as we know and the Republicans do not know, tRump does not have many neurons to rub together.

11. Or he thinks he's untouchable

Crazy

7. If the NY AG is biased in upholding the law as a Democrate...then......

the Trump group is implying that a Republican AG would not uphold the law.

The Trump people certainly know law and order republicans.

9. You are effin' correct.

[Nevernose]

10. The Trump campaign is good at shifting the conversation

Instead of talking about his shady foundation, they change the conversation to the AG potentially acting out of politics.

It's the same way he took the conversation about "Miss Housekeeper" and made it one about whether she was slutty.

The media falls for it every time and we do, too, much of it.

12. Why did the NY A-G wait for the Wash Post before acting on the Trump Foundation??

You'd think the NY Atty-Gen would have a direct line to the office with files on the NY licenses for charities, but with the Trump Foundation the NY Atty-Gen didn't act until the Washington Post did all the investigation and made a front page fuss about it. What gives? Does Trump have the kind of cushy arrangement that shields him until newspapers make it too ugly for law enforcement to look the other way?

13. Mzybe because there are sp many "qualified" charities in NY, unless some action calls their

attention to one in particular, and that sounds like something that wouldn't take priority in the short handed & overworked licensing dept.
