Former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos donated $100 million to former President Barack Obama’s private foundation, the nonprofit’s biggest single gift to date, the Chicago-based foundation announced Monday.
Mr. Bezos, who owns The Washington Post, made the donation in honor of the late Rep. John Lewis. The plaza where the Obama Presidential Center is located will be renamed for the civil rights activist.(Snip)His gift to the Obama Foundation comes as Amazon is feuding with the Biden administration over regulatory issues. Lina Khan, President Biden’s appointee leading the Federal Trade Commission, has criticized Amazon for what she calls anti-competitive business practices and has reportedly extended an investigation

Made $100 mil easy with the Dem planned CCP virus and closing down all the small businesses!
Just a "grateful" donation to the cause...of course it's tax deductible.

isn't it something that even billionaires have to pay off the politicians to secure their future endeavors, this should make hosingyou obama one of the richest in the world and the thing about that is, there's more to come. hosingyou knows that he has them all right where he wants them.

An indirect bribe to the Biden administration to make all of Amazon's troubles go away. Obama will be the Biden administration's "man behind the curtain" from his new palace/fortress in Chicago.

Donating money to a political hack in the name of another political hack, neither of which has done anything good for America. Nice move, Bezos, now Obama can buy another luxury home somewhere, hopefully on the West Coast this time.

Bezos is a 100% anti-American creep. Just think what that $100M will do to transform this country into a communist paradise. Apparently Joey isn't helping enough.

These same people raise H when someone gives $100 to Trump & fires a police officer for giving $25 to Rittenhouse..Hmmm I wonder if Amazon employees will now demand a raise after reading about this 100 million waste???

A guy who looks like Bezos has to buy a girlfriend. Leo, on the other hand…
All these “foundations” are nothing but free money for the wealthy. Money goes in for a cause and the vast majority of it comes right out into the pocket of the person whose name is on the foundation. I don’t understand what great wealth does to people but it definitely changes them. Maybe that is why the Bible tells us that a camel will more easily go through the eye of a needle than a rich man will enter the gates of Heaven. The love of money is the root of all evil and we have abundance of evidence to prove that. Poor Bezos, enjoy yourself now. The odds are not in your favor after you leave this mortal coil.

Pretty much confirms who the real "Acting President " is behind the Poopypants one. Bezos knows who is really coming up with all the anti-American policies. Shows he doesn't care if they are anti-American just so long as they aren't anti-Amazon.

Where will Smidgen purchase his next waterfront estate? Tahiti? Fiji? Maybe he’ll buy Epstein’s island.
There’s a reason that Chris Plante calls Bezos Dr. Evil and it has nothing to do with appearance.

And of course the Obama foundation is supposedly a non profit so the US taxpayer is actually paying a large share in terms of missed tax revenue.

Bozo just guaranteed that his name will now be permanently removed by the FBI/DOJ from Jeffery Epstein's little black book --- just as the trial for Jeff's girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, is about to begin.
And don't think for a second this was generous. It's mere pocket change.
In terms of percentages it means Bozo (who is worth $227 billion) donated less than half of one percent of his wealth. If you had $100,000 in the bank, it would equal about $44.24. A million dollars in the bank? You'd write a check for $442.47

And while this fascist oligarch is propping up this transformative corrupt puppeteer the PRC, Peoples Republic of California, fines just one Amazon warehouse $500,000 for not going far enough with China virus tyranny. The totalitarian will eventually catch up with them.

I wonder is he going to actually give the 100 Million or is he going to be like Test Turner and decide that after he makes the announcement he's going to actually give less.
