    Why didn't she just set up a go fund me and only send 3% to them like Trump is doing?

    Whoa, you're so angry there, little friend!!

    Maybe you should do some meditation, or find your happy place - telling people to "shut up" on a message board really isn't a good look for a (presumably) grown adult. My thoughts are with you - I hope you can get yourself under control as soon as possible. (Should you take a vacation from posting?)

    Also, your flagrant hypocrisy isn't a good look either. You state that "It is no one’s business to question how much or how little anyone donates to a charity", but amazingly, you did not discern that this was a thread started by a right-leaning poster who was doing just that!

    My expectation is that, unless you want to be a thorough and complete hypocrite, which is certainly your choice, you need to either; apologize to me for your unkind and very vicious words or call the OP names also and direct your very mean viciousness towards him.

    Please choose one of those options promptly - it pains me to see you behave hypocritically. Even if you are very very angry that the integrity your criminal orange man hero was questioned.

    KTHXBAI!!

    Did she not let you touch her boobs in a dream or something? This is just a horrible post.

    Here is story about Trump trying to take credit for truckloads of relief goods actually donated by Samaritan's Purse. Despicable (to people with normal moral standards.)


    Maybe you're the one that needs to close the old pie hole.

    most charitable giving by both individuals and corporations goes unreported Just because you haven’t heard or read about it is meaningless. In addition, many of the most generous people in America give anonymously or without calling attention to it.

    And furthermore, you have no idea how much money she has previously donated to other causes in this year or any year.

    People find the damndest things to get wrapped around the axle about. She donated a million dollars, and hopefully others have donated to help those impacted by the storm as well. Good for her for stepping up!

    You are both more than welcome to both come anytime to try to close it!

    USAToday is not exactly supportive of republicans in general and Trump in particular.
    Trump's Hurricane Helene GoFundMe raises more than $2 million

    Anyway, Dolly donating $1M to hurricane relief has nothing to do with Trump. You and Jo just can’t help yourselves from inserting Trump into any conversation. Oh well, at least your posts make sense sometimes, but you might want to not be lumped in with Jo.

    Beat me to it, I just ran those numbers.
    Interesting it’s almost a natural tendency for most to see, for example Taylor Swift worth $1.5B, and contemplate how much good she could do. Literally change people’s entire life for the better. But those asking, are they helping? It’s relative. And biblical references with the poor widow who gives two small copper coins.
    And I start this by pointing a finger at myself.

    She gave $1 million for vaccine research.
    And when she was putting together her 'Rockstar' album, the lineup of guest artists was pretty incredible. I guess when Dolly Parton calls, who's going to turn her down?

    My daughter signed her toddler up for that program. I think he gets a new book in the mail every month.

    Didn’t she also pay for college for all her relatives? I’m sorry, nobody in the right mind can call her stingy. There are multi-millionaires out there who don’t give a thing, whether they are left-wing or right-wing.
