I understood McD corporate made donations to the GOP. Cartoonist Oct 21 #29
They probably donate to both parties LeftInTX Oct 21 #30
From 2022, they gave money to both parties, but the biggest donations were to Republicans Wiz Imp Oct 22 #40
Looks like the numbers have shifted a bit since 2022: sl8 Oct 22 #44
Interesting. I just pulled the first numbers I found. Wiz Imp Oct 22 #45

"How pathetic is that?" BumRushDaShow Oct 22 #37
When will people learn bmichaelh Oct 22 #38
According to this article, Corporate was definitely aware and approved of the visit Wiz Imp Oct 22 #41
"The Bloomberg article conveniently left out the part about Corporate knowing and approving. " BumRushDaShow Oct 22 #42
That sentence was not in the posted portion of the article and as you know, the whole article was not posted. Wiz Imp Oct 22 #43
"That sentence was not in the posted portion of the article and as you know, the whole article was not posted." BumRushDaShow Oct 22 #46
I'm not sure what your point is Wiz Imp Oct 22 #47
I don't know what your point is either BumRushDaShow Oct 22 #48
Oh boy. You seem to have a pathological need to be right and tell other people they are wrong. Wiz Imp Oct 22 #49
To reply BumRushDaShow Oct 22 #56
Whatever. You have fun with your indignant self righteous anger Wiz Imp Oct 22 #57
And technically, the Bloomberg article was misinformation Wiz Imp Oct 22 #58
Reading is fundamental BumRushDaShow Oct 22 #59
Got it. Reporting easily disproven information without fact checking just because the Trump campaign said it is A-OK. Wiz Imp Oct 22 #60
You have again moved the goal posts BumRushDaShow Oct 22 #61
Statements from the Trump campaign published in that article were known to be false before the article was Wiz Imp Oct 22 #62
Again - they merely reported "according to" BumRushDaShow Oct 22 #63
