    Your doubts and feelings amount to nothing without evidence. Nobody other than hard-core Trump supporters deny the election results and call it a fraud. Those that believe fraud occurred without providing a single shred of evidence to back up such an outlandish claim are projecting nothing more than their feelings because they simply don't want to accept the fact that their boy lost and was voted out of office.

    I have asked numerous times and get nothing more than crickets and feelings when I ask for just 1, one, uno court case where a Judge looked at what one of Trump's lawyers brought to Court that wasn't immediately thrown out of Court for lack of evidence. Perhaps you can take on such a side request since you firmly believe and have no doubt fraud occurred.

    Nothing was stained other than the feelings of Trump and his supporters as the people in our Country used their freedom of expression and voted his big orange dividing ass out of out White House.

    Then you are giving up your own integrity to support an agenda.

    On first blush it doesn’t look good. But it also doesn’t look criminal.

    Not this, but I still believe Biden was on the take while his son sold access to the WH.

    "giving up my own integrity"?:bored:

    You are walking a fine line (verging on personal insult).:smh:

    Anyway, IF this "story" was such a big deal (and so cataclysmic)...
    ...THEN, why did the NYPost wait until AFTER the Election to print it?

    Oh well.

    Anyone is free to "believe" whatever they want.

    In any event, enough people didn't believe that "Biden sold access" and Biden Won.

    More likely the Clintons threatened anyone who spoke against them. That's just how they roll.

    It only doesn't "look good" because most people don't realize how little most charities actually spend on their cause, especially early on. Most celebrity-style charities like this spend their first few years essentially on marketing. You try to grow the charity first, then use that momentum to effect change. The Biden charity has operated for about two years and spent the bulk of their money on employees, ads, and travel: the main things you'd need to spend money on to spread the word about the organization. Rather than looking at how much is spent on employees, it's better to look at how much is spent on "operations," which can include employees. A site like Charity Navigator is good for that, though they haven't rated the Biden Initiative yet because it's so new.

    When Biden directs the charity to buy a painting of him, or some other vanity garbage, then I might care what any Trumper (refering to the OP, not you) has to say about it being corrupt.

    Lol...well, we see you’ve pivoted from claiming trump won the election to spreading bullshit about president-elect Biden.
    I call that progress.

    Whether a 'donor' is a Leftist person or a Conservative person, perhaps the real lesson learned is that it is best to DO IN-DEPTH RESEARCH on any organization that you're about to give money to!

    If scandal and fraud is what we want to avoid, then be reminded that even chapters of the United Way have been implicated in misappropriation and even outright theft down by some of its big-wigs through the years, even though the United Way is probably the very best of all those 'charity' organizations.

    HAHA! Biden is a grifter as the article in the OP proves. Deal with it.

    Trump was already a billionaire when he ran, so you are way off.

    And they will still be with their "orange man bad" posts. And like I said the other day, as we keep asking why Joe has not cured Covid, constructed 500,000 charging stations, delivered on free college, free insurance, grown the economy, etc. their answer will always be "but Trump." TDS will not go away in our lifetime.

    of course sounds like some spin from the right.... as the article says

    "But under grants distributed, it listed zero.

    Simon had said that the main point of the charity was not to give out grants, and that its goal was to find ways to accelerate treatment for all, regardless of their economic or cultural backgrounds."

    now did he funnel the money into his own businesses like Trump did

    I hope the Democrats lose their asses in 2022.

    I predict that if, God help us, Joe Biden is POTUS he will plagiarize Trump's America first agenda and try to co-opt Trump's populism. I won't complain about it if he is successful, but I doubt he will be. There is only one Trump.

    Nice spinning. Biden's charity takes in millions and all it does is pays itself, not one single accomplishment other than enriching themselves.

    You can't cure cancer on an empty stomach and having your wife do her own laundry.

    it pays staff, I get it. Trump doesn't pay staff, so that seems weird to the right

    I think trump is a swindler. That's why he had to pay law suits payouts to students of his fake university.
    He also didn't pay his contractors.
    And he has income he doesn't want public. Likely money from foreign gov'ts.

    None of which mattered to tRUMP pepole.
    So why should anyone care about Biden?
    Hypocrites have no basis to make any claims about any other person.
