    Lol...So, Trump is apparently trying to skim off as much campaign donations as he can to pad his personal profits.
    This guys is nothing but a grifter and con artist and he's bilking his chumps who are all too eager to bend over for their great orange hope.
    I think it was his plan all along to use his potus run as a way to con people out of their money. He has no interest in working as potus

    I don't see any proof here I just see Huff-N-Puff claims.

    Would it be possible to get some proof?

    Proof would be nice.

    Because I want to make a comparison between the few hundred thousand being tossed around here and the tens of millions being tossed around between the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton campaign but I'll wait for proof.

    Oh, almost forgot, if that proof is found I'd also like to make a comparison between this use of campaign monies and Bernie "redistribute your wealth to me" Sanders 3rd summer home purchased via donor dollars.

    LMAO...It's not rocket science, bud. The numbers are there and they are facts.
    It's not an opinion.
    Educate yourself.

    I see numbers written in an article but I see no link to where they got those numbers.

    All I see is "according to a Huff-N-Puke Post review of Federal Election Commission filings".

    Cant see those numbers so I'm waiting to make that comparison between the few hundred thousand being tossed around here and the tens of millions being tossed around between the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton campaign and a comparison between this use of campaign monies and Bernie "redistribute your wealth to me" Sanders 3rd summer home purchased via donor dollars.

    Just want to see that proof is all.

    Before we compare candidates and how they spend donor money.

    Ya know, just to be sure.

    Before we compare how all the candidates, Trump Hillary and Bernie, spend their money.

    Its only prudent.

    They read it in Trump's FEC filings. They were very clear where those numbers came from.

    Which Huff-N-Cuck doesn't show us so for all we know they're made up.

    Plus it's Huff-N-Mouthfoam so ya know, extreme left wing conspiracy site and all that.

    Damn, I really wanted to talk about how Trump Hillary and Sanders are spending that donor money but if Huff-N-Jihad isn't going to show their woke the I guess I'll have to write it off as myth and walk away.

    I will agree proof would be nice so why don,t you go first and show that there was a quid pro quo directly linking donations to the Clintonian Foundations ( there actual two Clinton foundations but I will let you go find that) and any selling of influence that resulted in actual delivery of something from the government to the donor.


    Now Trump has an asset that is rented out yo the campaign. Trump gets the money from the rent that the Trump campaign pays. So we have money exchanging hands from the Trump campaign to Trump.

    There is your proof.

    Book em Dano , Corruption One !!!

    The optics aren't good. A few questions to consider are: Is the campaign leasing a larger space? Is the rent comparable to rents in the area? Where any modifications or updates required that caused the increase? Without knowing those how can anyone one to a conclusion one way or the other.

    Proof of the multiple tax dodges, foreign donations, pay-to-play, State Department special treatment, and so on is already well documented and I'm assuming you've seen it because you've been commenting on the threads that discuss each incident.

    (I mean you wouldn't just roll into a thread, pick out a few trigger words then start ranting, would you? Nah you wouldn't, not your style.)

    Trump rents the space to his own campaign, do you know why he does that?

    Because there's campaign finance law that makes campaigns pay for things as opposed to just making use of whatever they could to save money.

    And no part of that law says their own interests cant be the recipient of justified expenses.

    Now if you guys want to petition your Congressmen to amend the campaign finance law restricting that practice go right ahead, that would be the smart thing to do.

    But if you just want to have an meeting of the local "all our criticism are fully justified because we're outraged" club, herp-a-derp about Trump, fire off some classy insults about Trump supports, then forget about it and move on to the next bit of manufactured outrage, well then that's fine too.

    Allegations are not proof. Now you're just trying to deflect.

    Yes thats why I used the word proof and not the word allegation.

    Now an allegation is what Huff-N-Puff-N-Puff-N-Huff is making, see, they reference to something but don't actually show it.

    We have to trust their "review" but hard to do that when we've got no actual evidence to examine for ourselves.

    And I'm not deflecting anything.

    I just think you're not impressed by my adopting the typical liberal "oh that source let me nit pick and dismiss it" tactic here, because that was really the only thing I came to do and so far you're the only one that's kinda caught on.

    Plus poking fun at the manufactured outrage is always enjoyable.

    Who the hell cares how Trump spends his campaign money?

    You guys didn't care how Sanders or Hillary used theirs and there's much more cause to in their cases but hey fk it!

    They did an article yesterday talking about how trump the racist is spending his cultist's money.

    He spent 1.8 million on those **** hats. And he's still paying Corey Lewandowski 20k a month (same as what he was paying him before he fired him), while he's also getting paid by CNN. He's also paying a bunch of money to unexperienced contractors and staffers...like a printing company he paid 800k to. Then there's millions of unaccounted for money.

    He's paying very little for campaign ads or ground game though. The money just seems to be going up in plumbs of orange spray tan.

    I literally cracked up reading it. trump the racist robbing his rubes is hysterical. I hope they go broke sending the kkklown all their money.
