What do you think of WEBSITE dealing?

[AviatorTom]

In 2020, when Kamala Harris launched her bid for president, NY-based trademark lawyer Jeremy Green Eche bought the domain HarrisWalz. com for $8.99. The idea, the cyber squatter told the AP, was to “grab her name and all the heartland governors I could think of.”

His purchase was vindicated yesterday, when Harris selected Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate. He said he’s willing to sell the website for $15,000, which is the same price he sold ClintonKaine. com for after purchasing it in 2011—five years before the 2016 election.

What do you think of this? Smart business? Or something else?

I would run the website with all sorts of factual truths about what a horrible politician both Harris and Walz are. You think things are bad under Biden? What until Harris gets in. More hyperinflation. More illegal immigrants. More chaos abroad.

She was chalked up as completely incompetent and useless prior to her getting the nomination at the last second.

The Onion? Whats next Mad Magazine?

[blueonblack22]

@DrPepper12 whats even more funny is the onion is known for leaning left. And yet they had the gall to make fun of her (when it didn’t matter for the that time). You know there are true storied they she used to play solitaire in the VP’s office because she was so bored?

She is useless and incompetent though. She hasn’t even been asked ONE hard question from the mass media since she took the candidacy. Not one.

They mass media is now gushing over her and you know it. Deep down you know that’s bullshit. However that’s okay because they telling you what you want to hear about her.

[DrPepper12]

If she was asked she would answer it.

[blueonblack22]

@DrPepper12 all she has done is read off the teleprompter for THREE WEEKS now. This is more mass media partisan bullsh*t then the Obama nut hugging back in 2008 and 2012. But at least Obama was asked questions. He was an eloquent bullshitter but I got to hand to him he has the gift of gab (doesn’t mean I like him but I acknowledge that).

Kamala is awkward AF when it comes to difficult questions. That’s why she got destroyed in the 2020 primaries. Her response to never being to the border (despite being the border czar) was “and I’ve never been to Europe”. WTF is that?

The mass media worked insane full lock step with the DNC to setup this hypnosis of this so called “new hope” bs. Brainwashing people about the image of who Kamala Harris is vs exposing the REAL Kamala Harris.

They have executed this so well they I fully believe this was all planned out way in advance as contingency plan given their struggles with Biden.

[DrPepper12]

You don't need to go to the border to understand the issues. That's childish. There is no hyperinflation. Immigration has essentially flatlined due to costs of housing. What chaos abroad is attributable to them?

[ArrowheadSW]

I knew this kind of thing would come into being back in the mid-nineties when the internet started to become a big thing!

[CrazyGirl2]

I was under the impression that in 1996 The Computer Crimes Act was updated by the Communications Decency Act, which included provisions related to computer crime and abuse, and included a provision which prohibited so-called “Cyber Squatting”?

[CrazyGirl2]

Thanks for the MHO @AviatorTom I really appreciate it, sweetie. 🤗 🥰

[purplepoppy]

I hate stuff like that. He sounds right smug little shit. I hope he's wasted thousands on other names he'll never get to cash in on.

[on_my_knees]

I'm banking on this. Do something.

I talked to a woman years ago, whose husband came up with this idea while sitting in prison. Back then you could get a domain for pennies.


I think it’s a brilliant strategy, and I wish I would’ve came up with it.

Annoying but its how a free market works, if someone is clever enough to buy it the campaign would have to buy it from him in order to use it which if he's reasonable enough with the price can make a profit.

[exitseven]

It is capitalism at its finest. Years ago people bought the rights to big corporations like Ford and Coca Cola and sold them for big profits.

[jennifer_bloom]

$15,000 is a reasonable fee so I think it should be allowed. If he asked for $50,000,000 I would complain about him.

[katiesmuff]

Sounds like a good method to find yourself floating in some dirty river by unknown circumstances!

[OlderAndWiser]

It may be very smart business and not illegal, but i hater people being so opportunistic.

[DrPepper12]

Cyber squatting is capitalism and entrepreneurship AT ITS FINEST!! KUDOS!!

[CaptainSmartass]

Sounds good, but you sorta have to be able to predict trends and things.

Simples...

[RingOfFire]

I think it's simply gambling. Nothing wrong with it if you're doing it voluntarily. You could end up buying a whole lot of URLs that nobody wants. And you're not paid for the ones that don't produce a profit.

[RingOfFire]

By the way it's nothing new. I think this is been going on since the internet was born.

[RingOfFire]

There have been other URLs that have sold for millions of dollars.

[Vegasrunner]

Smart Business, I used to have a cybersquatting Business about 15 - 20 years ago.

[dustybiker2]

I hope he's left flapping in the breeze.

[StudyingAuthor]

Eh... I don't know.

[noohair]

Thinking ahead. What a concept.

[gorydetails]

good for him.

[Dongie]

Pretty fishy
