Keyboard warriors scream: 'against the rules!'
GoFundMe: 'Pound sand'.

Good.

[Mik]

Money is free speech, remember?

[jon-nyc]

It was a civil case, not criminal anyway.

[Mik]

That's rather the point. These knuckledraggers can't seem to discern the nature of a legal proceeding.

As an aside, that 15% tip that Go Fund Me automatically adds (you have to go in and manually change it) is obscene.

I believe the consensus opinion here is that tipping in general is an abomination and should be banned.

I hope we will all give what we can.

I'm sure Mr. Trump would do it for us.

[Copper]

Yes, Mr. Trump might soon be a little poorer.

But he will have to work harder to become the poorest.

It will be awkward when the fundraising is over and they've only received less than 1% of the goal.

[Jolly]

Having bitterweed for breakfast? Like some sour milk to go with it?

[89th]

Just trying to predict the future a bit. Maybe it'll be more than 1%. Kind of sad those who are flushing their money away like that.

LOL...

The counter-offensive.

Nothing like people donating to a so-called Billionaire to help him afford his legal costs.

I know. Per President Trump's estimate, the fine is probably only 3-5% of his wealth.

The same people probably complain about their taxes being wasted.

Or buy knock-off running shoes spray painted gold for a few thousand dollars.

[89th]

Oh man the GoFundMe is almost at $900k. Getting close to 00.25%, which of course doesn't even come close to paying much of the interest owed on the amount. Maybe the lady who started the page will just keep all the cash.
