A lot of people are saying Trump won't release tax returns b/c of NAMBLA donations.

Lots of very reputable people are talking and they’re saying Donald Trump donated to NAMBLA

"It seems like everywhere on the internet, lots of people are talking about whether Donald Trump donated money to the North American Man-Boy Love Association and is refusing to release his tax returns out of fear he’ll be outed as a closeted pedophile. It’s all over Twitter. Google Trends registered a sharp spike in people searching for the term “Trump and NAMBLA” over the weekend, after questions about the candidate’s refusal to release were raised in a discussion on reddit..."


Now it all makes SENSE!

Not really, but...

ain't karma fun sometimes?

amusedly,
Bright

That pretense he has a lot of money will go out the window overnight.

the one who made the donations to the medical organization.

btw, found this unrelated but interesting story while looking for that story
http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/04/donald-trump-charitable-donations-golf

The Charitable Donations Donald Trump’s Been Bragging About Were Just Rounds of Golf and Other People’s Money

More than two-thirds of Trump’s reported donations were giveaways like free stays at his hotels and spa gift cards. (which takes on a whole new meaning if given to the organization mentioned in the OP)

Y'know, tons of people. Lots of people, I'm just hearing this, and they're asking these questions, and it's, let me just say, some of these people, they're important people, really great. The best people, and I'm hearing from a lot of these people that this is a problem. We've got a real problem here, and it's- I'm just hearing all of these people saying this. And I think we should really stop and figure out what's going on, because there's a real problem here.


... ugh, I feel dirty writing like that.

because it belittles what is actually going on.

Yes, he's probably hiding something, but its something real and something that would create a sense of understanding in the average citizen about how privileged the rich are in this country.

Lets not make it a joke.
