To steal a Thomas Sowell quote I was remined of from another thread. Seems appropriate here.
“I have ever understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.”
Democrats are envious of the rich "Trumptards". Sheep aren't as successful in general. Which party has the majority support of the least successful in our society? Mull that over for a bit.
Thomas is FOS, just like any other republican.
The method his minions came up with was ingenious. Send emails to everyone on the mailing list asking for a donation and include a teeny tiny pre-checked box to make the one-time donation a recurring donation instead. They were counting on the fact that a lot of people wouldn’t notice the little checked box. And a lot of people don’t monitor their bank accounts or credit card statements very closely so they don’t notice money disappearing out of their accounts.
It all worked out beautifully until the campaign needed even more money so the instead of monthly contributions, those little checked boxes gave default permission for weekly contributions. And all of a sudden, those small contributions from cash strapped supporters started to rapidly bleed them dry. Credit cards were maxed out. Bank accounts were overdrawn.
Trump supporters began to realize that they had been defrauded to the tune of thousands of dollars each. They were able to get the money back from their banks and credit cards, but where were the banks and credit card companies going to get their refunds from?
On August 20, 2020, Bannon, 67, and three others were charged with conspiracy to commit money laundering and wire fraud. Federal prosecutors of the US Attorney’s Office of New York allege that Bannon and two other defendants used funds received from the 'We Build the Wall' fundraising campaign, in a way that seemed inconsistent with how they were marketed for use to the public.
It was also alleged at that time that Bannon and the other three men conspired to use the former’s non-profit group and a shell company to make payments to themselves, despite making several promises to the donors who gave them the money to build the wall.
Mull that over for a bit.
SUCKER.
