Would you donate money to a billionaire for his political campaign and legal fees?

[OtterMan68]

'His son-in-law received $3 billion from Saudi Arabia, so why isn't he paying his father-in-law's fees. What does that say?

Yes, he didn't get rich spending his own money on himself, and I admire that

Yes, why should he and his family pay for everything?

No, if he's really a billionaire, he can fund his own campaign

only five people have taken the poll. This makes me wonder if some people are ashamed

[JacobJordan]

Only politicians worth buying into are people that are house of representatives. You can get a massive amount done by having some house reps you donate too to get them elected. Once in office they love to know what you don't like so they know to not like it and ensure it stays off the floor.

[JacobJordan]

For your update it is because 3 of the 4 answers are leading. And therefore inaccurate for basically everyone. The only one that isn't leading is 'other' your poll should listed 'yes' 'no' 'it depends' 'other' instead you are trying to force implied stances on people which is done in poor faith as a ploy to try and prove some manipulative point.

[OtterMan68]

how are they leading? Aren't they true? If you're donating to a billionaire who is not using his own money for his campaign or legal bills, aren't you allowing him to use his own money on his billionaire lifestyle and his family?

[JacobJordan]

Because there are far more things to spend money on than political campaigns and personal life/family. I for example typically spend around 20m a year helping my community. I focus primarily on homeless or less fortunate people. The other thing is you are implying specific stances that people have to take to vote on your poll so if people don't agree with any of the implied stances then they can't vote

never have, never would

President Trump has been unfairly targeted by the democrats because it looks like he will win in November. m The Biden DOJ has brought multiple indictments on baseless charges in an attempt to distract and discourage Donald Trump and turn the public against him. It seems to have backfired and he is more popular than ever and the cases seem to be falling apart.

I have never donated to a political campaign but I plan on being a volunteer in Trump's campaign.

[OtterMan68]

exactly how many indictmens against Trump have the Biden DOJ brought up? Can you list them?

[exitseven]

There is the alleged fraud case in NY. The fake election case in Georgia, The documents case I Florida and the phony baloney Insurrection case in DC

[OtterMan68]

I said indictiments by Biden DOJ, not the state of NY or GA.

[exitseven]

Alvin Bragg has visited the White House several times and Biden sent a top DOJ lawyer to work in Braggs office.
Fani Williams and her boyfrend/prosecutor have also visited the White House several times to meet with DOJ operatives. These are stare cases but Bidens DOJ is running the show.

If I had the money to spare, I would because these lawsuits are a complete waste of time and money. If they really wanted to go after him, they would have done a criminal trial and not civil.

I can only assume that these civil trials are only taking place is because the burden of proof is practically nonexistent and they need some more ways to say "orange man bad" without actually proving that he is.

[OtterMan68]

why hasn't his billionaire daughter and her husband paid for them? Why can't he pay his own bills instead of begging working class people to do it for him?

[Snakeyes7]

He shouldn't have the pay for all this crap in the first place. These trials were total shams.

[OtterMan68]

even if you believe that, why are you giving money to a billionaire who can easily pay his own bills

[Snakeyes7]

To show him my support. I wouldn't wish this shit on even the most corrupt. If you want to get him on something, get him on something that you can actually prove.

[Snakeyes7]

We have due process for a reason. The more people let this shit slide, the more it will happen. It'll even happen to you and no one will save you because our minds would have already been infected with "well this person says you are guilty so you are obviously guilty."

[OtterMan68]

the courts decided it.

[Snakeyes7]

They were civil courts which don't operate on due process for some reason. They just take the accusation, no matter how absurd it is, as proof that the action has been done and the actual sessions are to decide on the punishment.

Without the presumption of innocence, there is no point to civil courts except for vexatious litigation.

You are aware that Trump has used this very system against people over the years? That this system allowed him to drag out payments he owed to people, to the point that they were willing to take pennies on the dollar just so they could recover some money that was owed to them?
Why was all that okay when Trump was the one taking the money? But now that’s he’s on the losing end, everything is suddenly so unfair?

[Snakeyes7]

@RainbowMarinade First of all, when did I say that was ok? If you want to get him on that, do it in a criminal court where he can actually go to prison instead of wasting everyone's time and money over bullshit you can't prove or aren't even crimes like the value of his Mar A Lago residence. Not only is the latter not a crime but that is a very common practice within real estate, you'd have to put the entire real estate industry on trial for that. I know they won't because they are only after Trump as he is against the very establishment that is only interested in themselves and their ability to maintain power.

I am talking about all the political theater that has been plaguing our country long before Trump entered the political stage and has gotten worse afterwards and continues to get worse even now.

The sudden rise of people throwing the words Nazi and Fascist at people who dare to suggest that the government should follow the Bill of Rights despite it being the very reason we haven't succumbed to such a regime. In removal of these or the mass brainwashing of the public to believe that these freedoms are selfish and are only designed to hurt others will only allow these regimes to fourish.

@Snakeyes7
“If you want to get him on that, do it in a criminal court where he can actually go to prison.” No. That’s not what I’m getting at. The system he used so often to enrich himself has now turned against him and taking back. Why is it only outrageous now? Why wasn’t it outrageous when it benefited Trump? To me, this is karma. This is Trump experiencing what he’s inflicted on others in the past.
How can anybody feel sorry for that? I don’t get it.

[OtterMan68]

so what's your solution if the SCOTUS holds up all the decisions against him: violent revolution?

[Snakeyes7]

@RainbowMarinade It doesn't matter if what you say is true. The more we as a society thinks it is ok to use such scummy tactics against someone, the more it will be normalized to use it on anyone and that shit was already pretty normal for the average person even before Trump appeared on the political stage. It was taught in history classes to be present even during Jim Crow because the segregationists did the same shit against black people like Emmitt Till.

The last thing we want is to make this normal because even if you think that some people deserve it, it will eventually come for you and no one will come to save you because the advice of "don't believe everything you read on the internet" has been lost about a decade ago.

[Snakeyes7]

@OtterMan68
I don't think violent revolution is the answer. If anything, just like the Joker movie, violence is what the media wants. They were so hyped about for some loser to shoot up a theater but they never got the pleasure.

As long as there is no favoritism among the judges and everyone gets a fair trail, I would be happy with whatever the result is. If not, I am not sure. I'd probably take some protective measures like a bug-out bag in case our economy shits itself so bad that I find myself homeless.

[AviatorTom]

I don't contribute to political campaigns... never have... never will

[NewgodOmega]

The question should be do billionaire's need more money than they already have

[msc545]

Fuck no.
