Thompson, along with Derrick J. Fincher of Spokane Valley and John P. Nixon of Philadelphia were charged with defrauding the organizers of a Coeur d'Alene (ID) golf tournament, film studio investors in Montana, and a developer in North Carolina of more than $2 million.
I think Trump wrote the damn NYT op-ed himself
Here's the deal:
Trump believes he has A LOT more support from the American people than he really has. He also despises the three Big East Coast Liberal Papers, the Washington Post, New York Times and Boston Globe.
His idea was simple: he'd make up an op-ed full of outrageous lies and convince the New York Times to publish it anonymously. People would read it, decide the NYT had finally crossed the line, and cancel their subscriptions en masse. The drop in circulation would also cause a drop in ad revenues, which would kill off the NYT once and for all.
This was the plan.
First, Trump wrote this outrageous article.
Next, he had it rewritten by some of his staffers so it didn't sound like Trump wrote it.
And finally, he submitted the piece under a pseudonym. He's famous for this, as John Barron will attest.
It didn't go so well, in no small part because the American people don't like Donald Trump. People actually believed what was written in the article - in no small part because that shit's really happening. And now that it's backfired so spectacularly, he's running through his staff directory trying to figure out someone to lay the blame on.
What is it about Minneapolis and criminal sexual activity?
First there was Larry "Wide Stance" Craig, who got busted for cruising the Minneapolis airport men's room.

And now, we have this:

Richard Liu (in Chinese, Liu Qiangdong) founded and runs jd.com, which is a huge e-commerce site in China. On Friday, the Minneapolis police arrested him for unstated "criminal sexual conduct" and released him Saturday afternoon.
When the time comes, will you attend Trump's funeral?
Among the acceptable answers are:
No.
Hell no.
Are you fucking kidding me?
No, I'll be on the phone coordinating taco trucks to encircle the church the service will be in.
Only if I have nothing better to do, like getting my toenails painted.
To emcee the two-hour disco swing party outside the White House that's scheduled at the same time as the funeral.
Yes, and I'll bring medical instruments to make sure he's dead.
Yes, I'll be on the rifle squad that fires into the casket with live ammunition, because you can never be too sure about these things
Yes, to perform an act that will garner me both worldwide fame and a criminal record for indecent exposure.
Why certainly, and I'll bring a Komatsu D355A bulldozer, just like the one Marvin Heemeyer used to level the town of Granby, CO, to eradicate any Nazi shrines that may suddenly pop up.
My friends and I will, and every time a speaker mentions Trump's great wealth or how he "made America great again," we'll take a shot of Jack Daniel's. (We'll be carrying pint bottles diluted 1:3 with water; we don't want it to be our funeral too.)
I will attend as a gesture of respect to our fallen hero, but after the service I plan to throw myself off the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge.
