Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He's just gonna donate to himself. He's got his own "charities".
It's 0.03% of his networth...
The average net worth in his state is 189k.
So propertionally it would be like an average constituent winning $66.
Which isn't nothing, but it puts his priorities in perspective when he held onto it. Most people would buy a round of drinks for their friends...
But that's not how you get in any of the lists Forbes publishes. You get on those list caring about your high score more than literally anything else.
This was disclosed from his taxes.
If he meant to donate it like he said, there's no plausible reason it wasn't done during the same tax year to minizme taxes...
You don't get on Forbes #400 richest individuals in America by not having a team of accountants to notice basic shit like that.
Besides the fact that if he honestly cared about charitable donations, he'd never have amassed 3.9 billion in wealth. 1.4M isn't even a rounding error in his networth, he probably didn't give it a second thought or realize it's a life changing amount of money for 99.999% of his constituents.
Another very decent Democrat being vilified by the group who spend so much time tearing everyone down that they don’t have time to run anyone.
What a joke.
