48 hours on, still awaiting a statement from the Trump campaign about the Supreme Court abortion ruling.
Well, when they go with messages they believe in, they end up retweeting white supremacists.
I’m waiting to hear Trump say that Turkey shouldn’t let any Muslims in.
Er…
:smack:
I will admit, it was purchased for me as a gift. I don’t think I ever played it.
I doubt it and the situations are not comparable. I would assume only misleading stuff on their actual FEC filings would get them in trouble not press releases.
I don’t see how the situations are not comparable, but OK. Anything else other than doubts and assumptions?
What a strange game. The only way to win is not to pay.
Well they’re not comparable because bragging about fundraising is not like misleading stock purchasers. No one is going to vote Trump because he had a successful spam campaign but people might buy stock in a company that brags about earnings.
If you can find an FEC regulation regarding misleading/wrong info press releases then I will abandon my doubts and assumptions. I haven’t come across any mention of such a regulation.
I have sent an inquiry to the FEC. I eagerly await their answer.
Campaigns build a ton of momentum off of successful fundraising. People are more willing to get excited about and involved with a campaign that’s making tons of money, because that means they’re joining a large group of like minded people. Everyone loves a winner.
So I can see similarities, but that doesn’t mean the FEC will care or that the lies are even in its purview.
You may certainly disrespect it, but you must never ignore it.
The evangelicals show up to vote (including in off-year elections) and are a significant percentage of the electorate. You ignore their power at your own peril.

I can’t get to the actual* Los Angeles Times* page reporting the article because I have apparently reached my monthly free limits, but Bipartisan Report is reporting that the Times has published an article about how Trump defrauded investors in a Mexican land scheme.
Thanks, but I can’t read it because of the monthly limit, I can get there, they just won’t let me see it.
I knew that when I posted the link. I didn’t think you were posting links for yourself; I thought you were posting them for other people and you posted the link you did because you were unable to obtain the URL for the LA Times story directly.
They quickly replied:
So they can verbally lie all they want, as long as they don’t do so in official filings. Good to know.
Also, new word of the day!
I only read the Bipartisan summary of the complaint, but calling it “fraud” sounds like a bit of a stretch. As is his usual MO, Trump plasters his name all over a project without actually doing anything. In this case, the project went belly-up and people lost their shirts. The lawsuit seems to be claiming that his “involvement” was some guarantee of low-risk high-reward…I don’t think that’ll fly in court.
