Yes, but the notion that a donation 10x larger was declined for optics is so fundamentally different from those claims I can’t even believe that there is any confusion here about how ridiculous including that is.

There is absolutely no interesting discussion going on in the comments here. Lots of political flaming and not much else. Upvote to comment ratio is low and people are likely flagging it too because it’s just world news.
