In the Trump campaign wouldn't that be some type of campaign violation? They used millions of users in a way not intended by their users. Plus wouldn't the value of their in kind contribution exceed what is allowed? They were not operating in a PAC.

He's a little shit with zero ethics who conned millions to make billions. He should be sharing a cell with Shkreli.

It’s funny now, but at the time I got grief from people who assumed I’d unfriended them. It was like middle school on steroids.

My oldest son, who still lives with us while attending art school, has referred to it as a "cancer," but has kept the page only to remain in contact with some people he's known for whom it's his only way of staying in touch with them, as they have peripatetic lives.
