What I learned, thanks to your good question, JustAnotherGen:

GoFundMe Director of Public Affairs Jalen Drummond confirmed Monday that the page, which was set up for Trump on Friday, following New York State Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron’s ruling that he will have to pay roughly $355 million in penalties for fraud, was “within its terms and services” despite people voicing their concerns about it on social media.

ETA: And the Dip's followers aren't ponying up fast enough just to keep up with the interest.

Ordinary middle-class people complaining about inflation and not being able to pay their bills on time are donating to a bloated billionaire who brags about his wealth?

Is it some kind of test to identify stupid people?

...for the malpractice lawsuit she knows her client soon will be filing.

You are correct. It is a test. So far, 23,900 people, or so, have failed to make the connection between their problems and the demon that connects them. The first kicked in $500, the largest $10,000. My back of the envelope shows the average contribution of $58, which likely wouldn't buy lunch at Bedminster's 19th hole.

The GOP brand is the best way to identify the greedy and the gullible and the intellectually disadvantaged.

like she is pouting and sorry she ever got involved with representing this ahole. Also she is realizing she will never be paid.

... and a guy in the car in the next lane to me, a preppiefied yuppie. He got to hear Axiom Funk's "Under the Influence."

The song refrain was "Funk 'em just to see the look on their face. Funk 'em!"

May've sounded like something else, seeing how the guy with the white teeth and the professional haircut just stared daggers

Here's what I was playing:



I just smiled and when the light turned green, I drove forward.

Please know, the conman holds one keeper of a fall '24 yard sign.

Seems like just the other deposition that he was bragging about how much cash on hand he has in his little hands.

Back when I was a kid, sometime in the '60s, I read about a guy who ran one of those ads in the back of a "men's magazine," like Argosy or TRUE or "Men's Life," it might even have been National Geographic. The little classified read: "Please Send $5" and it added the guy's address. As he just was making a request and didn't promise anything in return, the guy didn't have to actually send anything to his notice's respondents. So, he got rich.

Were it me, I would've sent each a nice "Thank You!"

PS: I almost believe that example above would become the case study on which the nation's economy of today is based. How else do we explain the financial ("money making money&quot sector's rise, an industry where moving decimal points and electrons are the biggest expenses, apart from the CEO salaries?

The greatest fear in the world for a "man" with money who suddenly gets exposed for not having have any money is finding out what he has to do to get the money.

Thus, the second-greatest fear for those like the bronzed dip is to actually have to work a full day for the first time in his miserable life.

He would be going nuts, if he weren't so stupid.
