Why I Still Talk to Jesus -- In Spite of Everything
This guy did more for actual journalistic investigation on Twitter than any TV network has done so far to expose some hard facts about the Trump lifetime scam. Read this then ask “Where the fuck are the ‘real journalists’ if this music critic can find all this?” Oh I know where they are, they are covering the Trump show as entertainment to boost ratings. And on such careless stupidity we slide into the grip of a fascist con artist… and his disgusting family too… proof positive TV has rotted the American brain…
… with a few exceptions:
The Late Show host Stephen Colbert took a close look at the Trump Foundation on Thursday night after you read these Tweets WATCH Colbert blow TRUMP out of the water (again!)
Rob Tannenbaum All charitable foundations have to file an annual 990PF. A 2014 990PF for the Donald J. Trump Foundation …
-
At quick glance, a few things on the 990PF look fishy. For one: Trump gave $100K to the Citizens United Foundation.
-
Here’s another: the Trump Foundation gave $10K to the New York Jets Foundation.
Relevance: the Jets are owned by Woody Johnson, a powerhouse GOP fundraiser who has been raising money for Trump’s campaign.
-
I’m on the board of a very small foundation, and the IRS rules are very clear: you cannot give money to a charity if that gift benefits you.
-
The 2014 990PF is the most recent return on file. In it, there are at least two dubious gifts from the Donald J. Trump Foundation.
I’m not a CPA, an IRS agent, or an investigative reporter. But I did want to show how easy it would be for a reporter to find this shit.
-
Also: the return lists five board members: Donald Sr. and Jr., Eric, Ivanka, and Alan Weisselberg, treasurer. According to the form…
-
each of the five spends 30 minutes per week on the foundation, which donated $539,450 in the calendar year. That is not possible…

While the Clinton Foundation has received a lot of media attention this election cycle, the Trump Foundation has generally flown under the radar in 2016 — even though it was once caught illegally donating to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi for what appeared to be a personal favor for Trump.
The Late Show host Stephen Colbert took a close look at the Trump Foundation on Thursday night. He noted that it’s undeniable the Clinton Foundation “has done real charity work — earthquake relief in Haiti, expanded access to HIV drugs in Africa, and, one assumes, working on a cure for secret pneumonia.” (The last one is a joke.)
