The largest gift, he said, was $1 million to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation, and he held up a copy of a check to back up his assertion. (The group’s vice chairman, Gary Schweikert, is the managing director of the Trump SoHo hotel.)

MAJ (Join to see) The Liberal media needs to be taken on by Conservatives. They played a huge role in getting Obama elected and are following suit with Hillary Clinton. It is about time that somebody calls them out for their bias.

SSG John Thornton - Actually, you need to do a little more research.
Criminal defamation:
At the federal level, there are no criminal defamation or insult laws in the United States. However, on the state level, 19 states and 2 territories as of 2005 had criminal defamation laws on the books: Colorado (Colorado Revised Statutes, § 18-13-105 - repealed in 2012), Florida (Florida Statutes, § 836.01–836.11), Georgia, (O.C.G.A. § 16-11-40), Idaho (Idaho Code, § 18-4801-18-4809), Kansas (Kansas Statute Annotated, §21-4004), Louisiana (Louisiana R.S., 14:47), Michigan (Michigan Compiled Laws, § 750.370), Minnesota (Minnesota Statutes. § 609.765), Montana (Montana Code Annotated, § 13-35-234), Nevada (Nevada Revised Statutes §§ 200.510–200.560), New Hampshire (New Hampshire Revised Statute Annotated, § 644:11), New Mexico (New Mexico Statute Annotated, §30-11-1), North Carolina (North Carolina General Statutes, § 14–47), North Dakota (North Dakota Century Code, § 12.1-15-01), Oklahoma (Oklahoma Statutes, tit. 27 §§ 771–781), Utah (Utah Code Annotated, § 76-9-404), Virginia (Virginia Code Annotated, § 18.2-417), Washington (Washington Revised Code, 9.58.010) (This appears to have been repealed: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/dispo.aspx?cite=9.58.010 ), Wisconsin (Wisconsin Statutes, § 942.01), Puerto Rico (Puerto Rico Laws, tit. 33, §§ 4101–4104) and Virgin Islands (Virgin Islands Code, Title 14, § 1172).[119]
Criminal defamation is not protected by the First Amendment. Granted the level of proof required to show criminal defamation is high, as it should be, but a person who is guilty of criminal defamation cannot hide behind the First Amendment.
As as matter of fact, several states (17, I believe) also have "cyber-bullying" (a form of criminal defamation) in the state statutes as crimes.
Regardless, the conversion was about reporters purposely spinning the facts or outright lying.
Why not quit beating this dead horse?

SSG John Thornton - OK ... I was trying to be nice.
Anybody who does not recognize and admit that the media is biased towards the Democrat/Liberal candidates and agenda is an idiot. I really try to see things from the point of view of people like you, but, try as I might, I just can't seem to get my head that far up my ass.
Why don't you give your liberal, blind loyalty, Kool-Aid drinking, sheeple comments and opinions a rest You obviously are just trying to stir up controversy where there is none. My patience with BS such as you spout has reached its limit.

SSG John Thornton - On the contrary, people who actually work and live in the real world are typically conservatives. Liberals live in a fantasy world, even those who actually work.

MAJ (Join to see) None of the reporters walked out in protest of Trump's tongue lashing!
I gathered Trump was only responding to a negative article in last week's Washington Post, saying he was not raising nor doling the money out to veteran groups. They intimated, he counter-punched!

So let me get this right;
Some here are deriding Trump because less than six months ago he claimed to have raised $6 Million for Vet organizations, yet hasn't disbursed it (as of last week), and poo-pooing his claim of $6 Million.
How F**KING petty and idiotic of you all.
I will post the list of the organizations he has distributed $5.6 Million so far, but first lets take a look at another "Charitable" Organization, and how it 'disburses' if contributions, that has raked in HUNDREDS of MILLION of $$$$$$; The Clinton Foundation:
Salaries and Benefits - 33%
IT - 2%
Office Supplies - 6%
Rent - 5%
Travel - 10%
Other Expenses (?) - 34%
Charitable Grants - 10%

CPO Frank Coluccio
SSG Pete Fleming - Feel free to spread this FAR and WIDE. Of course those with "Clinton Contacts" on won't see it as those block any and all negative words about those two specimens of pure human corruption.
