    I blame all those people who, during the 1990's, tolerated the allegations of sexual assault and misconduct of Bill Clinton for my current tolerance of similar claim against Donald Trump. Really, in a way, it is the medias fault.

    Though in all seriousness, we shouldn't tolerate Weinstein's acts nor pretend he is the only culprit of such behavior. We did it before with politics and look where it got us.

    Sure. They have a 7 digit contract to lose. If they only had to truly lose their only job making poverty wages then maybe I would feel more sympathy.

    Exactly. Fortunately with nonprofit organizations there is this thing called a form 990 which discloses where their money is spent.

    https://www.clintonfoundation.org/sites/default/files/clinton_foundation_report_public_2015.pdf

    So shouldn't the Clinton's just give Harvey Weinstein back his money? Should they just remove it from the Health Access initiative (see page 20). Should Hillary and Bill deny potentially saving someones life in Africa just to serve political points with you Mr. Right Winger?

    So yeah... what have Republicans done with the money that was given to them by Bill O'Reilly & Roger Ailes? Was it ever made public like it was with the Clinton Foundation?

    Not forgetting her at all. She also doesn't get paid by the Clinton Foundation.

    “I’ve known Harvey Weinstein a long time,” Trump said last week. “I’m not at all surprised to see it.”

    NBC had a bunch of evidence on this guy and chose not to report it.

    500 threads about Trump but of course he is the main topic in this thread about the liberal movie guy.

    You're talking about Trump, right? Oh wait, we all knew this, it was widely reported, and morons voted for him anyway.

    Republicans don't have to follow any ethical rules. They only apply to Democrats.

    Thanks for posting this. Salaries and benefits are by far the biggest expense, more than twice the direct expense on programs. Just what I thought of what those foundations do.

    I donate to charity to help people, not to overpay employees with lucrative benefits.
