I'm in stunned disbelief over the "outrage" surrounding Trump's donor scam

[Miles Archer]

Sweet Jesus, it is APRIL, it was WELL KNOWN that he had teensy weensy tiny little hidden boxes that the MAGAt's had to uncheck (or be subject to recurring donations) WELL BEFORE THE ELECTION.

It was OUT THERE for ANYONE who wanted that knowledge.

WHY is this a "BOMBSHELL" NYT report? More appropriately, why is it a "BOMBSHELL" in APRIL 2021?

He's been this guy ALL HIS LIFE, we KNEW he was doing this LAST YEAR, people flocked to the Website and donated ANYWAY.

And the "reporting" around this sidesteps the frog versus scorpion nature of what he did and paints it as "shocking."

In what alternate reality are we shocked?

1. Because people who don't know about it need to know if they are MAGAs.

So they can undo it.

[Miles Archer]

5. Oh, I get it on that level, I really do

I get the fact that people didn't know it was happening. I get the fact that WHILE it was happening, it was being shouted from the rooftops, but the shouters were "radical leftists," so none of the red hats listened.

It's not like he did this "in secret." He most certainly did not.

[applegrove]

9. I knew. You knew. Many read the stories. MAGAs need to know Trump is a sneaky user of

them. That they are the ones really being owned, not the Libt**ds.

[central scrutinizer]

19. Having your bank account drained

Is really owning the libs.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

2. Well ... was it in the New York Times?

If not, that's maybe why.

[pwb]

3. It may be news to the Pukes?

If it is more than three words they have problems comprehending.

[brooklynite]

4. Where was it "well known"?

Can you point to a previous post about it?

[applegrove]

10. I remember some talk about sneaky Trump fundraising and check boxes after

the election.

First time I have heard of it. Had to look it up.

Always something new to learn.

6. This was mentioned months ago, when it first happened, and only Dems cared about it.

[OnDoutside]

7. I have a vague recollection of seeing something to that effect alright.

In any case...womp womp....

[Cha]

8. Not "shocked" or even a

little bit surprised.

It's business as fucking usual for the Treasonous homicidal gd Grifter!

[agingdem]

12. shocked?.. no

with Trump in exile and his rubber stamp Congress in Dem hands the press can now take their balls out of storage...no surprise Trump's filth is oozing out, one horror at a time...why now and not then?...because Trump was still the president and Bill Barr was his consigliere and this would have been a two day outrage with zero accountability...

[dianaredwing]

16. What I don't get

Is why does anyone care? He didn't get any money from me. The people he scammed don't want to hear it, won't believe it if they do hear it, and will ignore it and keep on doing what they do. When they go broke they'll whine, but all the fine print on every contract ever written is in fine print for the same reason. Let them continue to be scammed. They don't care and frankly I don't see why any one else should either.

26. Some people do still care about others' oxen being gored.

[Skittles]

13. I find it hard to sympathize with anyone who sends money to a KNOWN CON MAN

the man is a vile piece of SHIT

[keithbvadu2]

15. Trump's crew knew that it was not well known by many of his supporters.

17. This was the first time I'd read that the R donor site was FOR-PROFIT

and made money even on the returned donations.

(As opposed to Act Blue, which is non-profit and doesn't make money on its much smaller percentage of returned donations.)

[gratuitous]

18. No, no, see? He bent the corner on the red queen

There's no way I can lose this round of 3-card monte.

[Demobrat]

20. There's outrage?

Dems didn’t donate and the Trump humpers will never, ever in a million years admit he suckered them.

So who’s outraged?

[keithbvadu2]

21. Your donation will be 500/700/900% matched. You will provide the match.

22. no sympathy !

trump prey's on the weak & stupid ! need i say more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[triron]

23. What do you think?

[Qutzupalotl]

24. Look at it this way, this story is an excuse to publicize the bad behavior again.

Even if those of us here knew all that and can't be shocked, many others are hearing about it for the first time.

[SMC22307]

25. I read the article. Most of the "victims" don't blame Trump...

they blame the company (forget the name... WinRed?). Fucking fools deserve to lose their damn money.
