@axtremus Yeah, but how many were butt-fucking their interns, like TLP guys?
You seem to think that that question is somehow important when it comes to the question of grifting. Why is that?
Do you harbor hope that some other misconducts of the TLP guys can somehow absolve Trump and the NRCC’s questionable fund raising practices? Or you just throwing things at the wall desperate to distract attention away from Trump and the NRCC’s fund raising practices? Note that so far you have written nothing to defend Trump and the NRCC’s fundraising practices.

No, I'm showing how absolutely morally bereft the dickheads at the Lincoln Project are...Hence the title of the thread. I think the Trump Campaign's transgressions pale in comparison to how evil the Lincolnista were. And are.

Save America, the political action committee (PAC) created by Donald Trump, is urging donors to "surprise" the former president with extra money on his birthday.
When supporters donate via Save America's site, the website automatically ticks a box saying they would like to donate the same amount on Trump's birthday, which is June 14.
For example, if a supporter donates $250, the website automatically opts them in to donating an additional $250 on June 14.

Donald Trump filed lawsuits against Facebook, Twitter, and Google on Wednesday, accusing the companies of violating his and other conservatives’ First Amendment rights. But winning these lawsuits seems to be beside the point for Trump.
Legal experts say these are frivolous cases likely to be thrown out of court, but Trump is already using them as a way to fundraise from supporters.
So, it’s just another ploy to get Trump supporters to cough up more money for Trump.

“Trump PAC has not used any of the $75M its raised this year to help fund election audits”
The PAC was formed after the 2020 election to help fund the Trump team's efforts to challenge results.
Yet people familiar with the PAC’s finances told the news outlet that the committee has held onto much of the money, while a portion has been used to pay for some of Trump’s expenses, including travel and legal costs, as well as staff pay.

MAGAcoin: https://www.magacoin.io/
“The digital currency for the MAGA community”Over 1000 people signed up, most accounts have only the 100 coins offered as initial sign-up gift. Some conservative media personalities got around a thousand free coins ad incentives to help promote the new cryptocurrency. But …
”The data also reveals that the lion’s share of the cryptocurrency so far produced has been allocated to the self-described creator of magacoin, a pro-Trump consultant who owns an LLC associated with the cryptocurrency, and a Super Pac associated with the same consultant.”

Doesn't the artist normally known as Hunter, have an auction today?

Refunds :
“The refunds keep coming. Former President Donald Trump and the Republican Party returned $12.8 million in donations in the first six months of the year, reports the New York Times. The figure illustrate how the aggressive fundraising tactics used for the presidential election continued to lead donors to demand money back. Overall, more than $135 million has been refunded to donors by Trump, the Republican National Committee, and their shared accounts in the 2020 cycle through June 2021, including around $60 million after Election Day. …”

Another prediction by Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen:
Trump is bluffing about another presidential run because he can’t ‘stomach the notion of being a two-time loser’
https://www.businessinsider.com.au/michael-cohen-trump-bluffing-about-running-for-president-2024-2021-9- Michael Cohen said Trump is bluffing about a 2024 run in part because “he’s making more money doing that than anything he has ever done.”
- He told Insider Trump is also teasing a campaign to retain “some semblance of power, importance and relevance, none of which he has.”
- But in the end, Cohen said Trump won’t run because he can’t “stomach the notion of being a two-time loser.”

Alternate headline:
"Axtremus quotes guy convicted for tax fraud and campaign finance violations in a thread about grift."
FWIW, the aforementioned tax fraud and campaign finance violator has previously made other stunningly accurate predictions regarding Trump’s 2020 electoral prospects as well as Trump’s post-election behaviors, see https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/5766/michael-cohen-prior-to-the-election
