If 45 steals/gets reelected, does he start another re-election campaign again? he loved it as he could regulate who comes to his speeches -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 22, 16:02 3
- When he steals the election, he isnt going anywhere until he is in the grave. -- nm - Jovian Sep 22, 16:22 2
  - yeah but he still wants to give speeches and raise money under the umbrella of a campaign -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 22, 16:28 1

    - Oh, wait. ATV or quadcopter? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 15:49 5
      - ATV. A combination of logging roads and speed. She bailed going around a corner, quad continued over the edge. She’s lucky, really. - mafic Sep 22, 16:05 3
        
        I do love the correct priorities. You got a quad stuck in a tree? Dumbass. Changing maps based on your interpretation / opinion, FIRED -- nm - JD Sep 22, 16:09 2
        
        more of a last straw thing. She was erasing data people had gathered because it didn’t fit her model. - mafic Sep 22, 16:17 1

  - And were stolen from the FINCEN system which the person who did it better hope they never figure it out. -- nm - spamlet Sep 22, 16:32
- I thought it was the "banks sending dirty money around the world" story, like, who cares? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 15:25 1
  - Was that the story? I'm too unimpressed to even clutch my pearls. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 22, 15:33

- LOL Forensic accountants could spend their entire careers trying to figure out how Trump and his campaign spent $1 billion. -- nm - JD Sep 22, 15:11 5
  - It's really easy. They have apps now where you can take a picture of your check, and it goes straight to your bank account in the Cayman Islands. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 22, 15:14
  - Just look to the Trump family companies. Shockingly, they've increased by about a billion during this time. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 22, 15:13 3
    - Wait... spent a billion dollars... earned a billion dollars... hmm.... -- nm - Mopsy Sep 22, 15:34
    - Dropping the snark, have they? I keep reading about how openly Trump named things such as Hotels and Golf Resorts would have been much better off if - JD Sep 22, 15:22 1
