A conservative mocks people who use far Left liberal Slate for anything. Same with Snopes, FactCheck anything from Soros WikiPedia and The Legacy Media.

Except for when you post articles from those very same sources or from Politico, but only when they seem to be favorable to you and the Glorious Cheeto Jesus. Right?

Oh and not to mention the alt-right conspiracy blogs you are so very fond of posting from.

Seen any chem trails lately?

Trump is basically embezzling. Should be thrown in jail like Hillary.

They should share a cell.

Generally when a campaign uses their own offices or assets, they are applied as donations as 'services in kind' for the value of the service. In other words, if Joe Smith uses his home office, he categorizes that as a donation to the campaign 'in kind'.

This isn't being done this way, this is actual cash disbursements to these entities and people (ie, himself) including paying himself a salary.
Generally Corporations are prohibited from donating directly to a campaign.

Quote
Corporations and Labor Unions -- are also prohibited from contributing. This law applies to all incorporated organizations, profit or non-profit. Business owners are not allowed to make contributions from their business accounts. Although corporations and labor organizations may not make contributions or expenditures in connection with federal elections, they may establish PACs.

So to use his own corp's services he has to pay for them.

Trump is for America First.

It's not the rat part I object to, it's the insinuation I am a Republican. :laugh:

Exactly.  As in GWB's subliminal messages in his commercials.  LOL.  The 'rats had a fit over that phony scandal.  But I got a user name out of it.

I'd forgotten about that ad. Nice avatar, by the way.
