Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Does he keep his pants in Russia?
Only the pajamas that Putin allows him in.
Ohh, I thought it was a gimp suit. My bad.
It’s a silk gimp suit with his initials embroidered on the pocket
I just tried to imagine this and my brain kinda vomited a bit I think.
it’s not exactly clear how that money will be used.
oh, but it is.
Storm(y) relief fund
If the money is never spent for hurricane relief, then this is straight up fraud and possibly money laundering (depending on how the money is finally spent). However, there are likely legal time limits set, so they could distribute some funds at some distant time in the future to avoid prosecution.
We've already seen this play out nearly to the end with the "We build the Wall" graft. One participant is in prison for 4 years already. Steve Bannon's trial for this crime is upcoming later this year. source
The gofundme page claims that they've already disbursed some funds so they've already covered that base.
Gonna need some details on where they went.
Trump lives in Florida and it probably rained and was windy in Mar a Lago, so he needed relief money to pay the lawn care team. "Disbursed" to the needy.
I cannot imagine giving relief money to a fuckface already caught for embezzling from a charity.
Does this question really need to be asked?
Anyway, how is going to get to anyone if his dipshit cultists are threatening FEMA?
His legal bills, duh!
“My legal hurricane”
Most lilkely his own hurricane relief. Maybe the winds made a potted plant in Mar-a-Lago fall over, and he needs money to buy something new. And a few millions to heal his bruised ego, because he liked that plant.
Hookers. No, this is not a joke.
I mean it's funny. In a sad truthful way. So I would say it's a joke.
It's the only way he can compete with Kamala's $1 billion pot
Damn, that must be some good pot.
Govt pot. It's just a dime of sad Reggie that got marked up 100,000,000x due to the modern miracle of bureaucracy and corruption.
Isn't he legally barred from running a charity or does this not count because it's just a fundraiser and they haven't registered
Let me guess: Directly to Mar-a-Lago club owner?
It’s a gol dang mystery! Ain’t nobody knows!
It's going to help those tired hurricanes! Duh!
