    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-election/walker-calls-gop-deceptive-fundraising-georgia-race-rcna57136

    This one involves Hershel Walker -- various GOP politicians and related committees have been raising funds in Hershel Walker's name, but default to giving Hershel Walker's campaign only 10% of what's donated.

    Perpetrators included J.D. Vance's campaign who continued to do this even after Vance has won his election in Ohio, and, of course, Donald Trump's Save America PAC.

      I'm glad you're worried about Walker. If I were you, I'd raise hell until all of my donations went to Hershel, as you intended!

        They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                ... Trump has quietly begun diverting more of the money he is raising away from his 2024 presidential campaign and into a political action committee that he has used to pay his personal legal fees.

                    Why not? The Dems are using lawfare and unbelievable fines to subvert the election. Gotta counter it with something.

                    Maybe the next step in our descent will be targeted political assassination, as practiced in other banana republics.

                        h/t @wtg :

                        The crypto lobby has been pouring boatloads of cash into the latest presidential campaign of former president Donald Trump, who has entirely abandoned his once-hardline stance against digital currencies as the campaign money has rolled in.

                        Now, on the back of recent promises to make America the "crypto capital of the world," Trump is prepping to publicly roll out a wildly dubious and ethically fraught new crypto project started by none other than his sons Eric and Donald Trump, Jr.

                        The project is called World Liberty Financial (WLFI), and it centers on "stablecoins," or coins that creators claim are pegged to stable commodities or government currencies. In an X-formerly-Twitter thread posted last week, the WLFI team claimed their stablecoin would be pegged to the US dollar.

                        "For too long, the average American has been squeezed by the big banks and financial elites," Trump, a financial elite whose penthouse is caked in gold, said in a Thursday X-formerly-Twitter video promoting the forthcoming crypto venture. "It's time we take a stand — together."

                        But while stablecoins sound like they should be stable, they've historically been disastrous for investors and economies.

                          "caked in gold".

                            Not understanding why this would be different or better than a US dollar or other currency? 🤷

                                  Trump supporters must be so proud.

                                  They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.
