This is the kind of thinking that keeps us Democrats hopeful all the way to 2024.

More bullshit that has nothing to do with '2020 Democrat Hopefuls'

What? Are you running out of places to copy/paste this ridiculous Raw Story bullshit?

Why don't you try the 'Here Kitty Kitty' thread again - we're waiting for you!

Or did your cat post this?

 

This is just cracking me up. The conservative/Republicans became the party of Trump/QAnon and gladly followed him all the way to treason against the United States of America. And I guess just pretended not to see that Trump does not give a fuck about conservative/Republicans and only cares about his own power and greed. And now its war over the name and image of the
Chosen One. Which again is very hopeful to us progressive/liberal/Democrats going into 2024 because now Trump is not only splitting the party but the money as well.

What is very hopeful to us progressive/liberal/Democrats is watching Trump traitors still kissing his ass and sucking his dick when Trump will be lucky if he's not in jail by the time 2024 rolls around and they put all their eggs in his slimy shitty basket. And it will be too late.

Trump still scares the shit out of the democrats.

 

I wonder who all might want to cash in on this. And if they 2016 NDA's aren't legal did they change them for the 2020 campaign.

BUSTED: Trump's campaign was bleeding supporters' bank accounts dry with recurring payment scheme


www.rawstory.com


On Saturday, The New York Times reported that thousands of supporters of former President Donald Trump were hoodwinked by a deceptive "recurring payment" option for the president's campaign fundraising system, that led them to give far more money than they thought they were giving.

"Facing a cash crunch and getting badly outspent by the Democrats, the campaign had begun last September to set up recurring donations by default for online donors, for every week until the election," reported Shane Goldmacher. "Contributors had to wade through a fine-print disclaimer and manually uncheck a box to opt out. As the election neared, the Trump team made that disclaimer increasingly opaque, an investigation by The New York Times showed. It introduced a second prechecked box, known internally as a "money bomb," that doubled a person's contribution. Eventually its solicitations featured lines of text in bold and capital letters that overwhelmed the opt-out language."

The result was that many of these donors gave far more than they ever intended to the Trump campaign, and tons of them demanded refunds.

"Political strategists, digital operatives and campaign finance experts said they could not recall ever seeing refunds at such a scale. Mr. Trump, the R.N.C. and their shared accounts refunded far more money to online donors in the last election cycle than every federal Democratic candidate and committee in the country combined," said the report. "Over all, the Trump operation refunded 10.7 percent of the money it raised on WinRed in 2020; the Biden operation's refund rate on ActBlue, the parallel Democratic online donation-processing platform, was 2.2 percent, federal records show."

Some Trump supporters and their families are furious.

"It felt like it was a scam," said Russell Blatt, whose brother Stacy in hospice care was "opted in" to monthly payments after making what he thought was a one-time contribution to Trump, then was confused why his utility checks started bouncing. Victor Amelio, a 78-year-old retiree in California, donated $990 in September via the Republican portal WinRed, and before he knew it the "opt in" he had never checked debited $8,000 of his money to the Trump campaign. "Bandits!" he told The Times. "I can't afford to pay all that damn money."

If any of this money wasn't refunded, it may well have gone to benefit Trump financially. A previous report in February indicated that $2.8 million in money donated to the Trump campaign was funneled into the Trump Organization to settle debts. And many supporters still haven't even accepted Trump's loss, to the consternation of even his fellow Republicans.

Throughout his business career, Trump has frequently been accused of running scams to bilk money from unwitting people, one of the most famous cases being Trump University, which led to a multimillion-dollar settlement.

Trump facing 'legal consequences' for fleecing supporters with fundraising scams: Watergate prosecutor


www.rawstory.com

President Donald Trump could face "legal consequences" for fundraising scams that were uncovered by The New York Times.

On Saturday, the newspaper published a damning report titled, "How Trump Steered Supporters Into Unwitting Donations."

"An investigation from The New York Times reveals Trump's cash-grabbing tactics with donors which the former president's spokesman is not denying. The Times reports Trump's campaign made recurring donations the default, then doubled them in an operation nicknamed the 'money bomb,' unbeknownst to many unsuspecting donors," MSNBC's Alicia Menendez reported Saturday. "One retiree said they withdrew seven times from his account."

For analysis, Menendez interviewed Jill Wine-Banks, the former organized crime prosecutor who was an assistant Watergate special prosecutor.

"Millions of dollars obtained through these practices," Menendez noted. "While they may be shady, are these tactics illegal?"

"They may be legal, you have to be really careful," Wine-Banks replied.

"You don't expect a former president of the United States to be using these kind of tactics. This is the kind of thing you expect from, oh, scam artists who sell really low-quality products," she noted.

"In this case, what was happening was people would sign up thinking they were donating one time and there would be a little button they didn't see that said make this monthly, make this weekly, and sometimes it changed from monthly to weekly after they had hit it or had entered the one-time donation amount,"

"I think that that kind of fraud should have political consequences, even if it doesn't have legal. But I think there are legal consequences," she said.

"He is facing so many civil and criminal charges right now that he's going crazy trying to defend himself. He needs full-time law firm, not a full-time lawyer, but he needs a full-time firm to handle all of the cases from the varying -- from Georgia, from the Manhattan D.A., from the New York attorney general, from the District of Columbia, from the policemen who have sued," she explained. "The New York courts ruled the defamation case can proceed, which means, by the way, that there will be under oath depositions, the president is going to have to testify, the former president, he has absolutely no way to evade any longer."

MSNBC.
Now there's an unbiased reliable outlet.

 

All Trump did was campaign. He legally started his 2020 campaign the day after he took office. Because it was a great cash cow for him and his family. And conservative/Republicans worship this con man and follow him all the way to treason.

Campaign finance experts tear into Trump's 'complete ripoff' of donors: 'It started to look like fraud'


www.rawstory.com


On Tuesday, Business Insider profiled a number of campaign finance experts weighing in on the scandal surrounding former President Donald Trump's "pre-checked" option bilking supporters of far more money than they ever intended to donate.

"I've never seen anyone do what the Trump campaign just did," said Democracy21 president Fred Wertheimer said. "This is a complete ripoff, they knew exactly what they were doing. They knew they were tricking people into signing up for what they thought was one contribution, when they were really signing up for multiple contributions. Then when they got caught, they sent the money back. It's like if a bank robber got caught and said, 'Oh, well, I gave the money back.'" He suggested that the arrangement amounted to elder abuse, given the number of retirees who fell for the scheme after not reading the fine print closely.

"Groups do this all the time in a non-toxic way, and of course Trump, being Trump, did this 72 million times in the wrong direction, and it started to look like fraud," agreed Common Cause' National Director of Money and Politics Beth Rotman.

The report added that experts were less clear on whether any crime was committed, as the law allows these setups because Trump technically disclosed what he was doing — he just tried to divert the eye from the details on his website. The former president denies any wrongdoing.

"Elderly donors who gave a few hundred dollars to former President Donald Donald Trump's reelection campaign were shocked to see thousands drained from their accounts," noted the report. "Refund requests spiked in the final months of the campaign. The ensuing surges in credit card fraud claims associated with Trump even got on the radar of the US' biggest banks."

First, its not a scandal.
Second, stumbler, you aren't trying to infer that President Trump would take campaign funds for himself, are you?
Cause that would be illegal.
You're not infering that President Trump will personally benefit from campaign contributions, right?
