Now do Harvey Weinstein

Nothing about Joe and Hunter..Joe, the senator from MBNA. I quit listening to and contributing to NPR 2 years ago..Fluff pieces and biased reporting..although I do miss Car Talk ;-(

Birds of a feather....

So what about the dirtbags Biden has taken money from? Where is the equal coverage of very certainly equal amounts of dirt? Your glaring bias is not ok.

Oh this is worthy of your reporting but the Hunter Biden scandal and Biden family money laundering isn’t!!

Now do Democrats funding from Harvey Weinstein ..you’ve missed that over the years.🤔

Now report on the hunter biden story.

Odd you are failing to report on Biden’s corruption!

Fucking hypocrites.

FakeNews

How much has Democratic Party accepted from Scaramucci? Soros? Michael Avenatti? Michael Cohen? Jeffrey Epstein? Harvey Weinstein? People give money to their party of choice. The list could go on and on... Then there’s Hunter. He takes money directly from China and Ukrain.

Spike9151 Look at that face. The accumulation of much evil some might say

Of course they do. Just look at how they suck up to the racist-in-chief.

Isn't it really disgusting the we have to infuse/use so much money for political campaigns when people have lost jobs, stand in food lines, can't pay their rent/ mortgages, possibly losing health insurance or have none, no savings and so on. I

Also accused of rape, sexual assault , and sexual harassment: Bill Clinton, Joe Biden

deanna5266 They accept trump despite rape and corruption. Here’s the hint ... They are all the same

Harvey Weinstein....? Democrats....?

🙊You guys seeing this?! BITCOIN IS HOLDIND at $12.8k! I think we might really see it hit the $20k mark by Xmas like everyone has been saying!! 🚀 🌛to the moon!!!!!!

Of course! Money is far more important to the “Pro-Life party” than morality or respectability!

Wasn't sure if that was a human being in that photo

Not to worry tRump and his pals will piss it away or line their pockets with it before the jig is up.

From one rapist to the next.

The GOP accepted displacing over 500 children from their parents. Accepting Rape Money is a step up for them.

$BET can do for you twice what Bitcoin can do for you at the moment. Bitcoin has reached it's peak but $BET token is a high dividends yielding tokens currently on Binance & Uniswap, it's use cases are high & it's liquidity is top-notch.

Here to laugh at some of your comments, you guys will kill me

RandomFSM Allegations of rape, assault and harassment? Disgraced casino-owner? I mean that describes Drump, himself... is it any wonder the GOP would welcome donations from the same?

Both corporate parties are taking dirty money.

Are you really gonna try that angle when you have the Clinton's on your side?

Prosecute!

It’s a positive for them.

Vvv

Steve Wynn owns the tackiest fucking hotel and casino in Las Vegas.

is he actually alive? he looks like he's been embalmed. wtf?

You'd think the super rich could afford plastic surgeons that don't make them look like Halloween clowns.

And how much did the democrats accept when they gave millions to corporations and then donated back during the first covid relief bill?

Retire MitchMcConnell

The GOP no longer even cares how corrupt they look or are. So sad for the entirety of the Republican Party. lincolnvoter

Would you refer to Jeffrey Toobin as a ”disgraced journalist” Quit characterizing yourselves as objective. Your thumb is squarely on the left side of the scale.

SO!

How much plastic surgery has this ghoul had?

Now do Biden's contributors.

Oh so now we care about rape allegations again?

Wasn”t Harvey Weinstein a major Dem donor and bundler? Please

This mf is still kicking?

Do you think Moscow Mitch cares about this? Underneath his bony exoskeleton, he is all about reptile power.

Whoever his surgeon was seems to have done a lousy job.

Waste of money Bwhahahaha

JohnCornyn Are you going to call this out like you did for hegars donations?

chump change..where is Sheldon placing his bets? That is the story..

So?

Fitting...and sad

Of course. He has so much in common & fits so well with trump's GOP.

Damn right I’m tired of Wynning

“It sold Mirage Resorts, which owned the Bellagio, Treasure Island and Mirage, to MGM Grand in 2000. Wynn Resorts still owns and operates Wynn Las Vegas and Encore in the city. The company is also developing Wynn Boston Harbor in Everett, Massachusetts.Jan 29, 2018”

Good to know. Now I know which hotels to avoid when I’m in Vegas.

$6 million dollars could help a lot of people work towards a better life. What a waste this is

Why wouldn’t they? GOP women don’t care.

Of course it’s these old rich men with $$ who want to continue to control the workers. Total elitist!! You don’t see these guys helping Las Vegas workers who made Las Vegas the best destination.

It blows my mind how NPR is financed by taxpayer dollars to shovel out this overtly partisan drivel.

Now do Bidens donor list.

If you donated to Trump here’s how your hard earned money was spent: -$39 mill in legal fees -$7.4 mill on Trump hotels -$356 mill to unknown LLCs -$1.6 mill on ads in DC so Trump can see them -$218k on private jets -$100k to buy copies of Don Jr’s book to make it a best seller

Desperation

Of course they did.. Trash anti-Americans GOP GOPChairwoman MAGA MAGA2020LandslideVictory MAGA2020Landslide trumpistrash Trump Trump2020 RepublicansAgainstTrump

WASTE OF MONEY!

Welp looks l will NEVER be setting foot at any Wynn related resort/hotel/restaurant/casino/nightclub/shows sayonara mother fucker!

Steve, I loved the Wynn. Never more.

What is wrong with his face?

No one is surprised. This administration has been F*CKED UP from Day One.

Yup, moscow mitch is dirty. The corruption is everywhere in the gop and they don't care how many die.

Well, of course

How much money does NPR get from the federal government?

Seems on brand.

Karma seems to be catching up with MoscowMitch he is covered in bruises

CocoChanele 🙄🥴

Hey GOPChairwoman - we found out what happened to the Steve Wynn money! You’re still taking it, you hypocrite! All your ranting and raving about Weinstein, but you’re still taking Wynn cash. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

SPEND ALL THE MONEY YOU WANT MAGA!!!!!!!! WE WILL VOTE HIM OUT!!!!!!!!! Biden/Harris 2020 🇺🇸

well, of course they are fine with it. Look at their reputations with women.

Didn't Steve Wynn once say'only an idiot could bankrupt a casino'.... Steve meet your tax cuts for the wealthy idiot!!

Still better than Soros!!

Rich guy accussed of something to settle out of court .... And?

This isn’t journalism unless you mention Bill Clinton.

The rats must go! Vote them out!

What about all the people that frequent his casinos and casinos, shouldn’t they be PubliclyShamed too?

Birds of a feather

NPR you all are start to steer The narrative. You’re supposed to remain impartial As News Organization and just delivered the story. No need for the word DISGRACED. Accused is not the same as convicted.

Again non partisan NPR being partisan? Did I miss your coverage of Joe Biden meeting with his sons business partners while VP? I’d love the link as I must have!!

Rape and sexual abuse are a Republican requirement.

He’s just trying to join the club. TrumpIsARapist

trumps close friends include, Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Wynn. Epstein spent a lot of time at Mar-a-Lago recruiting girls. trump has tried to distance himself but he was involved with Epstein.

Fuck it, his money is as green as yours. Republicans understand this, Democrats fret about it. Aren’t we tired of losing yet?

Is NPR seriously going to go the guilt by association rout of journalism?

I seem to have his phrase on repeat the past 4 years when talking to members of the GOP death cult for fun and personal profit: 'I'd be happy to read or listen to any detailed, strategic plan for (any topic here) the GOP has.' Silence.

It was only a year ago when Democrats were demanded to return money from Weinstein.

and the worst face lift in the history of cosmetic surgery.

Money has no color or conscious.

Horrendous. Inexcusable

They have a lot in common Disgraced Rape accusations Harassment on tape pussygrabber

Well, that seems to be very 'on brand' with Republicans

And Joe Biden was accused of sexual assault. Lets dive deeper into that story. Cause when joe biden was told about his own he got ANGRY in his tone.

Accused. It's even worse than being convicted.

His face is how I know there is no secret elixir of life that the rich and powerful are hoarding.

“Love me some fat stacks, no matter how dirty” say ever taker GOPer. How many others in this administration have ‘secret’ Chinese bank accounts? I KNOW moscowmitch gotta have a few!

realDonaldTrump has also been accused of rape, sexual assault, and harassment. I’m sure many of his cult followers don’t see this as a problem.

grandmabarbara bullshit...they shouldn't be a 'party' anymore....this is sick

No surprise. Birds of a feather flock together. Sincere apologies to the birds.

Birds of a feather, screwing over the country together....

Why is he the worst? Mitch got Russian, Chinese money also.

And liberals give to Biden who has been accused of rape, sexual assualt and harassment. Maybe we just take the money out of politics?

Just one of their kind

'This just in: Rich people do some shady shit and get away with it because of money.' I'm curious; is NPR following the corruption scandal of Joe Biden and his son Hunter? Or are they continuing to push for the Biden campaign?

Never heard that NPR call George Soros as disgraced dual citizen financial mogul

The apples never fall far from the tree. VoteHimOut2020 TrumpChinaBankAccount GrifterInChief

The GOP and Trump are desperate for money at this time and will take it from anywhere or anyone. Selling themselves like....

GOP Lost their values & morals long ago.

And bad plastic surgery....

ome of us being upstate NY natives, like Wynn, we’re not surprised — Utica is rife with organized crime. The GOP is looking more and more like the mafia every day. Ironically Trump is what would have happened if Capone had been elected president.

Vote every GOP out of office. GOPBetrayedAmerica

And a very, very bad facelift

BECAUSE of allegations. there, fixed it for you.

It’s what Republicans do.

At this point in the GOP, being accused of rape, sexual assault and harassment is a requirement.

Friends of Epstein

The level of the hypocrisy in GOP and Mitch McConnell is astounding. Why don't they too, return their 'dirty money'? How the voters in Kentucky can support and enable this man to continue to lie is beyond me. VoteHimOut

There is a simple concept in this country, that a man is innocent until he is proven guilty. Many people are accused of many things, but that is only an allegation not evidence of guilt. If you believe he is guilty then you are always free to refuse any monies he offers you!

This is what we have come to!? Dear God.....

Trump lovers!

Hunter and the Big Guy... new series on NPR....

Why am I NOT surprised?! RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica

bjacobsberg He fits right in with Trump

Now list all the Dems that benefited from PACs/Super PACs funded by Soros and his ilk.

The GOP doesn’t care what you think, it’s really that obvious.

I’m a disabled veteran who was assaulted in the military and then had to deal with the stillbirth of her son bc of the attack. I can’t do the patriarchy anymore.

'Family Values'

He has also been accused of having a very bad face lift.

....are we surprised by this?

Wow - this sounds a lot like some other politicians past and present. And not just an issue with one party. But you know that right?

The party of 'family values'.....eh folks

We need to keep sharing these stories, but we all know at this point the Right is just doing literally anything it wants with absolute impunity.

Every party is dishonest

Democrats welcome BillClinton despite his rape and sexual harassment.

“Birds of a Feather”... U know the rest!🤷🏾‍♂️

Birds of a feather

Creeps of a feather.

Birds of a feather...

So, completely normal. VoteThemAllOut

Also accused of rape, sexual assault , and sexual harassment: Bill Clinton, Joe Biden

1TreeSantaCruz It’s not a bug, it’s a feature of Republicans.

Well if you have a pedophile & rapist as a President, why would you not take Steve Wynn's money? GOP really is scraping the bottom of the barrel on so many levels. They have 0 credibility. PedoTrump

DitchMoscowMitch VoteTrumpOut

Just like Bill Clinton? The same 'accusations?'

Trump2020

Talk about a pedophile ring. God.

Vice President Joe Biden has also been accused of sexual assault. BelieveWomen Metoo TaraReade

Trump Trump2020 BlacksForTrump HispanicsForTrump lockbidenup

Disgusting people doing disgusting things. That's how they roll.

the very thought of these men make me shudder. BLEUCH

Really? They should visit Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby.

Didn't Epstien and Harvey Weinstein donate to democrats? The democrats knew about these doucebags for years. Both sides are guilty.

One too many face-lifts there Steve.

Also horrific plastic surgery.

No way Trump knows him. No way....

Patriotic hardworking Americans are voting for the People’s President realDonaldTrump NOT the lying radical hateful corrupt Democrats that are trying to destroy our country! VeteransForTrump womenfortrump Women4Trump VoteRed2020 vote TrumpPence2020 2020Election trumpWINS

Why is this even a story? Look who is sitting in the Oval Office. They wear it as a badge of honor.

'accused'. Not convicted, though.

Look at that the good old GOP being the party of morals once again sarcasm

Think quid pro quo

Other than actually being successful, how much different really is Wynn from T-RUmp himself? Liberate Truth & Reason. Vote T-RUmp & the rest of his corrupt clown posse out!

You may recall CreepyJoe has been accused of all those things. And he’s the head of the BidenCrimeFamiily

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

They would take money from the devil, without blinking an eye.

Of course Steve Wynn another mobster, criminal, con man. I worked for him on a construction job in a state line casino 30 years ago and he didn’t pay my boss what he owed us.

The corrupt degenerates stick together.

GOP: home of racists, rapists, white supremacy, tax cheaters ...

Again, if 60% of Americans would have done their homework instead of wanting to be lead by people they know nothing about - NONE of this would be happening.

What’s the old saying? “Birds of a feather...”

Me looking for QAnon

MrsE0113 If Republicans are willing to accept Trump as their leader, why wouldn’t they take money from a man accused of the same crimes as their leader?!

🐦 Birds of a feather....

Now do Joe and Hunter Biden

Of course . . . they are 'birds of a feather' flocking together

Wondered what had happened to him.

Ugh

senatemajldr should return any contributions that he and/or his campaign has received from a sexual predator, just like he called for Dems to return contributions from Weinstein. Then again, McConnell is well know for his hypocrisy and he is desperate for $$

Why would they care? They cared nothing of highly credible accusations of the same against the current POTUS

Wynn does a good imitation of a prune.

Of course they do.

Weren’t they giving money back to him a few years ago

This does not surprise me in the slightest. Sad.

Because shitbags of a feather flock together

Why is this man not brought up on charges?

Rape, sexual assault, and harassment? Steve Wynn is just another poster boy for tRump Republicans.

Mylifewithbubby And Q is calling Dems Pheidippides? I’ll keep on saying it!

GOP likes Making Rapists Great Again

Makes total sense, he’s corrupt so feeding his family to remain corrupt. GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPBetrayedAmerica DitchMoscowMitch FlipTheSenateBlue

But, but, aren't conservatives good Christians with morals who put God and family first?

We hope the GOP drops out of the political arena for good.

Well, is any worse than their presidential candidate?

Thank you but again NPR, what donors have given to Biden? Are you not supposed to be bipartisan? The public in your name should be a tell.

csymrl Why are we Not surprised AP propublica reveal

Because of course he has. Birds of a feather....

These are old allegations brought by his ex-wife whom he is still in bitter, nasty legal disputes with as he got her removed from the board of directors and she forces him to step down as CEO in 2018 (using these same allegations).

perspective

Ask Tara Reade what she thinks.

Birds of a feather…… VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare

Welcome to the Team!

victoria_scherr Why would a little thing like the donor being a rapist stop GOP politicians? They took plenty from Lev Parnas, who was indicted for funneling that money to them from Russia and oligarchs. People know that well and these GOP criminals haven’t been stopped yet.

'Despite' lol. Par for the course.

Like Paul McCartney's high, high, high. Gonna grab it like a rabbit. Gonna get high, high ,high in the mid day sun.

Gross!

Which garbage business does he own? I would say boycott his businesses. But I don’t even know what they are. So I’m assuming I don’t support them already anyway. Boo Steve Wynn.

What about Biden feeling little girls and Hunter being with 14 year olds. It's all in his emails. Come on NPR, report what matters to our country like a Treasonous Biden with China, Russia and Ukraine. And what other countries that he took money from.

Toxic is the Republican brand

Let’s be honest, politicians don’t give a damn where their money comes from. That’s a byproduct of the toxic political system we e created in this country. It shouldn’t take hundreds of millions to run for office.

Because Trump normalized pedophilia, rape, misogyny and pussi grabbin’.

Donald’s “WELFARE” CRISIS FUND *Funds his personal Rape Law suits using our TAX $$ *Uses SOCIALIST Healthcare funded by our TAX $$ to beat COVID19. *Financially supports HIS PERSONAL businesses using our TAX $$ *Gives his kids Federal Jobs paid with our TAX $$ AND YOU GET NOTHING

Bill Clinton has also raped many under age girls and no one cares.

MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Any Hunter Biden update? How did he and his dad make so much money? What about his transgressions- pretty juicy stuff with the crack pipe picture, meth mouth, etc.

Why are we so shocked (or not as the case may be) when Republicans consistently show that they just don't care about who they take money from? The current Republican party has no moral compass. They are only concerned with power.

Well, he fits right in.

Because Republicans really are ok w sexual assault and rape. In fact, they want rape victims to deliver babies for their rapist. But don’t worry Trump is saving children from sexual assault even though a child accused him of rape. These people can’t go fast enough

Course they would, they welcomed donnie

The Trump gangster regime and its criminal donors have destroyed this country.

You mean all the dems donors are angels? Such hypocrites you are...

GOP welcome the wealthy & corporations buying legislation by contributing millions. GOP represent the wealthy above all others & yet the wealthy need the least representation. Those who need representation are abandoned. Return representative government. Vote all GOP out.

Accused of all that? You would think that would make him a Democrat.

redracer5516 I think you've described causality. Turds of a feather...

Like attracts like.

And yet, Evangelical Christians support Trump....the man who said it was ok to grab women by the p**sy! ...and be well
