Saw a picture of a canceled check online. Was wondering if it was real.

Yup. From the California Secretary of State site.

This is embarrassing. He should probably drop out of the race to get out of the spotlight.

He should probably choke on a hamberder.

It was just reported by Act Blue that they received 27 million dollars in the first 5 hours after the announcement.

Donald J Trump donating THOUSANDS to Democrats proves NOTHING! But Thomas Crooks giving $15 to Democrats PROVES he was ACTUALLY a Democrat!

Wasn't that 15 dollar donation done by someone from a different state and the same name?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Same name, same zip code, allegedly different person. I haven't seen any updates on the allegedly bit, but all signs point to that kid being anti-dem his whole life. (My assumption is a joke/insult donation in his name...source: I have done this to people and sent them the receipt.)

Same name, same street address, but the city listed on the donation was wrong. It was listed as Pittsburgh instead of New Bethel, PA. But the street address does not exist in Pittsburgh.

That doesn’t say much. He was probably invited to a political fundraiser and he likes to flash his cash. I’ll bet he donated to plenty of republicans before 2016

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's sad though. He doesn't remember it because his mind is so far gone. I think the media needs to call for a few press conferences where they ask him pointed questions about it until he flubs a few words. Then they should ask him more questions about what he just said.

I think he also has selective memory when it comes to whatever works in his favor at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Whatever cognitive impairment he has, his brain is not good. It'll be a miracle if he can form a sentence by the time of the debate with Kamala Harris. I expect the news media to scrutinize his every sentence, as we know they always do with older presidential candidates.

I don’t really see the media going line by line pointing out how he’s lying 99% of the time. Or preventing those obvious lies from reaching the ears of the people.

If they did, his speeches would be as redacted as an Epstein document.

It’s not supposed to say much. It’s a jab at the asshole.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Some people might consider a jab at the asshole a good time.

Recall that his family and the Clintons, before the 2016 run, used to be very close friends.

To the point that Bill Clinton and him have both admitted to having a several hours long phone call shortly prior to him running for the GOP primary, but they both "swear politics never came up".

It can be used to influence dumbfuck undecideds.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I’m not sure they would understand.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

It will be hilarious when Pedo Donnie loses to Kamala.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Little did he know she was coming to bite him. Now is she gonna beat him, we don't know yet.
