    Trump now facing two grand jury probes over attempt to steal Georgia election

    "there are now two grand juries underway" in Fulton County, Georgia,

    where Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is investigating whether Trump broke state election laws when he asked Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" the 12,000 votes he needed to overtake President Joe Biden.


    What's more, Willis tells The Daily Beast that these grand juries will likely start issuing subpoenas for do ents "in the very near future."

    GOP leaves Raffensperger twisting in the wind


    The Georgia GOP secretary of state who bucked Donald Trump is up against serious resistance within his own party.

    Joe Biden’s radical plan to implement the largest tax hike in American history is a massive giveaway to China, and many other countries, that will send thousands of factories, millions of jobs, and trillions of dollars to these compe ive Nations. The Biden plan will crush American workers and decimate U.S. manufacturing, while giving special tax privileges to outsourcers, foreign and giant multinational corporations.

    Biden promised to “build back better”—but the country he is building up, in particular, is China and other large segments of the world. Under the Biden Administration, America is once again losing the economic war with China—and Biden’s ludicrous multi-trillion dollar tax hike is a strategy for total economic surrender. Sacrificing good paying American jobs is the last thing our citizens need as our country recovers from the effects of the Global Pandemic.

    Biden’s policy would break the back of the American Worker with among the highest business tax rates in the developed world. Under Biden’s plan, if you create jobs in America, and hire American workers, you will pay MORE in taxes—but if you close down your factories in Ohio and Michigan, fire U.S. workers, and move all your production to Beijing and Shanghai, you will pay LESS. It is the exact OPPOSITE of putting America First—it is putting America LAST!

    Companies that send American jobs to China should not be rewarded by Joe Biden’s Tax Bill, they should be punished so that they keep those jobs right here in America, where they belong.

    This legislation would be among the largest self-inflicted economic wounds in history. If this monstrosity is allowed to pass, the result will be more Americans out of work, more families shattered, more factories abandoned, more industries wrecked, and more Main Streets boarded up and closed down—just like it was before I took over the presidency 4 years ago. I then set record low unemployment, with 160 million people working.

    This tax hike is a classic globalist betrayal by Joe Biden and his friends: the lobbyists will win, the special interests will win, China will win, the Washington politicians and government bureaucrats will win—but hardworking American families will lose.

    Joe Biden’s cruel and heartless attack on the American Dream must never be allowed to become Federal law. Just like our southern border went from best to worst, and is now in shambles, our economy will be destroyed!

    Donald J. Trump served as the 45th President of the United States. The preceding was released as an official statement from the former President’s office.

    How Trump Steered ? tricked, defrauded

    Supporters ?
    losers, simpletons, idiots, FreeDumb patriots

    Into Unwitting Donations


    It was a big sum for a 63-year-old battling cancer and living in Kansas City on less than $1,000 per month. But that single contribution — federal records show it was his first ever — quickly multiplied. Another $500 was withdrawn the next day, then $500 the next week and every week through mid-October, without his knowledge — until Mr. Blatt’s bank account had been depleted and frozen. When his utility and rent payments bounced, he called his brother, Russell, for help.

    What the Blatts soon discovered was $3,000 in withdrawals by the Trump campaign in less than 30 days. They called their bank and said they thought they were victims of fraud.

    “It felt,” Russell said, “like it was a scam.” No !

    Blatts believed was duplicity was actually an intentional scheme to boost revenues by the Trump campaign and the for-profit company that processed its online donations, WinRed.

    the campaign had begun last September to set up recurring donations by default for online donors, for every week until the election.

    Contributors had to wade through a fine-print disclaimer and manually uncheck a box to opt out.

    the Trump team made that disclaimer increasingly opaque, an investigation by The New York Times showed. It introduced

    a second prechecked box, known internally as a “money bomb,” that doubled a person’s contribution.

    Eventually its solicitations featured lines of text in bold and capital letters that overwhelmed the opt-out language.

    The tactic ensnared scores of unsuspecting Trump loyalists — retirees, military veterans, nurses and even experienced political operatives.

    banks and credit card companies were inundated withfraud complaints from the president’s own supporters about donations they had not intended to make, sometimes for thousands of dollars.

    made a $990 online donation to Mr. Trump in early September via WinRed.

    It recurred seven more times — adding up to almost $8,000.

    The recurring donations swelled Mr. Trump’s treasury in September and October, just as his finances were deteriorating.

    He was then able to use tens of millions of dollars he raised after the election, under the guise of fighting his unfounded fraud claims, to help cover the refunds he owed. Ponzi

    the money that Mr. Trump eventually had to refund amounted to an interest-free loan from unwitting supporters at the most important juncture of the 2020 race.

    “It’s unfair, it’s unethical and it’s inappropriate,” THAT'S TRASH! That's Repugs!

    the Trump team’s techniques were a classic of the “deceptive design” genre.

    Political strategists, digital operatives and campaign finance experts said they could not recall ever seeing refunds at such a scale.

    Mr. Trump, the R.N.C. and their shared accounts refunded far more money to online donors in the last election cycle than every federal Democratic candidate and committee in the country combined.



    Donors typically said they intended to give once or twice and

    only later discovered on their bank statements and credit card bills that

    they were donating over and over again.

    Mr. Trump’s hyperaggressive fund-raising practices did not stop once he lost the election.

    His campaign continued the weekly withdrawals through prechecked boxes all the way through Dec. 14 as

    he raised tens of millions of dollars for his new political action committee, Save America.


    for Mr. Trump, the prechecked monthly box was just the beginning.
    By June, the campaign and the R.N.C. were experimenting with a second prechecked box, to default donors into making an additional contribution — called the money bomb.

    The two prechecked yellow boxes would be a fixture for the rest of the campaign. And so would a much larger volume of refunds.

    Mr. Biden’s refund rate remained nearly flat, at 2.24 percent, while Mr. Trump’s soared to 12.29 percent.

    In early September — just after learning that it had been outraised by the Biden operation in August by more than $150 million — the Trump campaign became even more aggressive.

    some contributors were unwittingly making as many as

    half a dozen donations in 30 days: the intended contribution, the “money bomb” and four more weekly withdrawals.

    wife’s $1,000 donation in early October became $6,000 by Election Day.


    officials who fielded fraud claims at bank and credit card companies noticed a surge in complaints against the Trump campaign and WinRed.
    “It started to go absolutely wild,”

    The unintended payments busted credit card limits.
    Some donors canceled their cards to avoid recurring payments.

    Others paid overdraft fees to their bank.

    The Trump operation was not done modifying the yellow boxes. Soon, the fact that donations would be withdrawn weekly was taken out of boldface type, according to archived versions of the president’s website, and moved beneath other bold text.



    As the campaign’s financial problems became increasingly acute, the yellow boxes became dizzyingly more complex.



    Soon after the November election ended, the two Republican Senate in bents in Georgia, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, deployed prechecked weekly recurring boxes in advance of their January runoffs.

    Predictably, refund rates ed.

    a recurring contributor and called the practice

    “repugnant” and “deceptive.”
    the entire Repug party: “repugnant” and “deceptive.”

    'Major league all-star of grifting': Trump slammed by former staffer for ripping off ho e patient

    Miles Taylor expressed disgust with the former president.

    "One person in the New York Times reporting was a cancer patient in ho e who couldn't afford utilities or rent,"

    this is what it made me think of when I saw the New York Times report:

    Donald Trump one time said

    he was glad there was a coronavirus pandemic because

    it meant he didn't have to shake the hands of his disgusting supporters."

    promoting

    Trump casinos,

    Trump Universities,

    Trump mortgages, and

    the Trump administration which ended up being a scam and

    we know the Trump campaign was a scam."

    Trump once told me in office -- in an Oval Office meeting that he believed even

    if he didn't have a reason to sue someone,

    it was good to sue them because you got them to settle and do what you wanted,"

    It's hilariously on the nose for Trump's contractor to have set the donation default as a weekly, recurring electronic draft.

    Defrauding the old and vulnerable. Shame.

    How Trump Steered Supporters Into Unwitting Donations.

    Stacy Blatt was in ho e care last September listening to Rush Limbaugh’s dire warnings about how badly Donald Trump’s campaign needed money when he went online and chipped in everything he could: $500.

    It was a big sum for a 63-year-old battling cancer and living in Kansas City on less than $1,000 per month. But that single contribution — federal records show it was his first ever — quickly multiplied. Another $500 was withdrawn the next day, then $500 the next week and every week through mid-October, without his knowledge — until Blatt’s bank account had been depleted and frozen. When his utility and rent payments bounced, he called his brother, Russell Blatt, for help.

    What the Blatts soon discovered was $3,000 in withdrawals by the Trump campaign in less than 30 days. They called their bank and said they thought they were victims of fraud.

    “It felt,” Russell Blatt said, “like it was a scam.”

    But what the Blatts believed was duplicity was actually an intentional scheme to boost revenues by the Trump campaign and the for-profit company that processed its online donations, WinRed. Facing a cash crunch and getting badly outspent by the Democrats, the campaign had begun last September to set up recurring donations by default for online donors for every week until the election.

    Contributors had to wade through a fine-print disclaimer and manually uncheck a box to opt out.

    As the election neared, the Trump team made that disclaimer increasingly opaque, an investigation by The New York Times showed. It introduced a second prechecked box, known internally as a “money bomb,” that doubled a person’s contribution. Eventually its solicitations featured lines of text in bold and capital letters that overwhelmed the opt-out language.

    the pursuit of money and power aka Capitalism, has no shame, ethics, morality, humanity.

    The only value is amassing more Capital, at any and all cost to others,

    which leads to more power (SCOTUS-enabled political corruption)

    for the objective of amassing more Capital.

    Reminds me of Great tedtalk that explains decision making, especially part about how some countries have higher percentage of organ donors.
