      I've become addicted to The Young Turks. I'm sure most have watched. If not, give it a try. It's ultra-liberal. However, a lot of it makes sense as far as liberalism goes.

        Make them pay.



        Media George Stephanopoulos and ABC apologize to Trump, are forced to pay $15 million to settle defamation suit

        ABC News will pay $15 million as a charitable contribution to a Trump presidential foundation and museum




        FIRST ON FOX– ABC News and its top anchor George Stephanopoulos have reached a settlement with Donald Trump in his defamation suit, which will result in the news network paying the president-elect $15 million.

        The settlement was publicly filed on Saturday, revealing that the two parties have come to an agreement and avoided a costly trial. According to the settlement, ABC News will pay $15 million as a charitable contribution to a "Presidential foundation and museum to be established by or for Plaintiff, as Presidents of the United States of America have established in the past." Additionally, the network will pay $1 million in Trump's attorney fees.

        Stephanopoulos and ABC News also had to issue statements of "regret" as an editor's note at the bottom of a March 10, 2024, online article, about comments made earlier this year that prompted Trump to file the defamation lawsuit. The note reads, "ABC News and George Stephanopoulos regret statements regarding President Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stephanopoulos with Rep. Nancy Mace on ABC’s This Week on March 10, 2024."​

            The charity happens to be for Trump's presidential library. You do understand that all that money goes to Trump? Or anywhere he wants it.

              It's cute how you always rush to defend trumpy. I know, it's difficult for you to admit your messiah actually stole money from a charity. He's a real peach. Haha
              You're a good little disciple.

                Nope. I'm basically calling you a liar for suggesting Trump could steal money from the ABC settlement. All that money was awarded to Trump....how's he's gonna steal his own money? You are so silly.

                  Nice pretzel, Skippy. Can you even admit trumpy stole money from a charity? Will you burst into flames if you do?
                  Nice little disciple. Better keep a full glass of Kool aid on hand.

                    That's a lie, too. The amount of misinformation that you spew is crazy.

                        Trumpy used a charity as his own little piggy bank.
                        Even Skippy can't gaslight us into believing it never happened.

                              You've fallen for every hoax on the list.



                              Full Story
                              President Donald Trump’s namesake charitable foundation agreed to cease operations in late 2018 as part of an agreement with New York’s attorney general, who alleged that the nonprofit organization was improperly leveraged to further Trump’s business and political interests. A November court order resolved the lawsuit, and Trump ultimately paid a total of $2 million in damages to eight charities, which also received equal portions of the foundation’s remaining $1.8 million.

                              But it is not the case, as viral social media posts claim, that the Trump family was “disallowed from operating ANY charity” in New York “because they stole from a kids cancer charity.” That distorts the facts on a number of fronts, including by conflating two separate matters.

                              First of all, it’s wrong to say the family was “disallowed” from operating a charity in the state. There was no such stipulation in the settlement with the attorney general.

                              While the attorney general’s lawsuit initially asked the court to bar Trump and his grown children who sat on the foundation’s board from serving as any charity’s “officer, director, trustee or equivalent position” for a period of time, the settlement reached did not do that.

                              Instead, the agreement imposes a number of requirements that the president must meet if he “decides to serve as an officer or director of a pre-existing charitable organization” — or “form a new charitable organization and serve as an officer or director thereof” — in New York. For example, if Trump were to start a new organization, he would need to “provide Annual Reports to the Attorney General for 5 years.”

                              It also required Trump’s children — Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric Trump — to participate in “mandatory training” relating to charitable organizations, which the three have already undergone.

                              There also was no part of the state’s lawsuit that dealt with allegations that the Trump Foundation “stole from a kids cancer charity,” as the posts claim.

                              That detail appears to stem from a 2017 Forbes story that alleged Eric Trump’s separate nonprofit organization, the Eric Trump Foundation, engaged in self-dealing and misled donors.

                              The magazine wrote that the foundation publicly proclaimed that all proceeds from its annual golf tournament at a Trump golf club would go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. However, while the foundation did donate millions to that organization, it also made large payments to the Trump Organization to host the event and some funds were directed to different charities, Forbes found.

                              While the New York attorney general’s office said it was “looking into” the findings of the Forbes report back in 2017, those allegations were not part of the lawsuit involving the Donald J. Trump Foundation.

                              Eric Trump has since resigned from his foundation, which has rebranded as Curetivity.
