Please elaborate. For our comedic opinion of you.

Sadly you are mistaken. Who was Walz'ies political ad aimed at ? I did some checking. Guess what I did.

No need for me to elaborate. It's pretty clear what I stated, and I meant every word of it.

Two things. First, I don't "just post memes". Second, I'm not "getting worked up". Apparently you don't read what I post.

There's very little "discussion" that takes place in P&R. It's mostly posturing and false bravado. I suppose there's an element of entertainment, but I'd hardly describe it as an enlightening environment.

I can't count the number of threads that I have started, that have turned into pizzing matches.

I do post items from primarily conservative and centrist sources, but only a few members take the time to read or listen to them before commenting on them, and it's seldom relevant to the content that was posted.

And then the pizzing starts......

You guys make fun of this... but Trump has sold a TON of things like this. Everything from gold colored sneakers, to hats, to trading cards, to whiskey glasses with a bullet lodged in it. You name it. He's made MILLIONS and MILLIONS on this, all of which is directly funding his campaign. Just to be clear, Donald Trump has LESS money today, than he did when he first ran for President in 2016. So... this has not been financially beneficial to him. When people buy these trading cards, they're doing it because they know it's directly funding the campaign. That's the point.

So you guys can laugh, but it's brilliant.



From the FAQ of the NFTs:

quote
Is any of the money from this collection going to the Donald J. Trump campaign for President?
NO. These Digital Trading Cards are not political and have nothing to do with any political campaign.



Edit to add: Trump personally made $4.5 million from the sale of these.

I think this needs to be clarified... when you support a political campaign financially, you are bound by legal and campaign finance laws. When YOU as the politician directly self-fund your campaign by money you make, it's not regulated. Meaning that... these funds can go to filling up the gas in the jet that takes him everywhere, to fighting the legal battles that he's dealing with right now because he's running. Neither of these things are considered "funding a campaign," but they are.

Perhaps you should look up the definitions for "substantiate" and "substantial".

What you said was an azzhole opinion. People have both. You should not expose your true self on the idiot net.

"Worthless BS" ? I guess you are worthless. Why are you even here ?

therump mixed it up from the beginning

first he claim to only self fund no begging


New information reveals that President Trump may have illegally financed his 2016 campaign with a secret loan that potentially exceeded legal limits. Voters in 2016 had a right to know where Trump was getting the money for his campaign.

Tweetable quote: If Trump secretly financed his 2016 campaign using an undisclosed bank loan backed by a billionaire developer, then voters have been illegally deprived of important information about the true sources of Trump's financial support.

As laid out in the latest report in The New York Times series examining Trump's tax returns, in September 2016, at the height of the presidential campaign, Trump quietly took out a multi-million dollar loan in the name of an LLC that he jointly owns with billionaire developer Phil Ruffin, with Trump Tower Las Vegas as collateral.

Tax records show that the LLC paid Trump over $21 million in 2016 and claimed a tax deduction on the payments. Six weeks after obtaining the loan, Trump gave $10 million to his campaign. Federal law requires that candidates disclose bank loans used in connection with their campaign.

Additionally, if the LLC took a tax deduction for the payments to Trump, it would mean that Trump secretly relied on taxpayers to help subsidize his 2016 campaign.
