RestrictedAccount , in Exclusive: Republican hits Clarence Thomas with. lawsuit over his taxes

"Under Section 108 of the Internal Revenue Code, he would have had a legal obligation to report [the loan] as taxable income and the tax alone would have been, probably $40,000 or $50,000. That's a third of his annual salary," Castro said on Friday. "And that's when I was like, 'There's no way he reported that because that'd be financially disastrous for

Where’s the report on what the federalist society wants to do ?

The party of fiscal responsibility? Nah, the party of being a massive twat.

Imagine the schools or homeless shelters that could have used 168million.

SatanicNotMessianic ,

At least the money was basically set on fire rather than going to Trump’s legal fees slash campaign fund.

Well, they saw the guy, they knew the guy, and they still thought, "yeah, we can work with this." A fool and his money, etc. etc.

Been that way since Bush.

Complain about a problem, vote against all attempts to fix it.

So it's costing over $4m a month to keep him out of jail. If you imagine his attorneys are charging him $500 an hour that's still like 50 full time attorneys who are dedicated to his problems.

The article says that while normally using donor's money to pay your legal bills makes people stop donating, it's not happening as his people are still giving.

This IS his grift. He sells the image of a guy who can say and do anything he wants and they pay him for it, because they wish they were like him.

He doesn't need that money for his campaign because this IS his campaign.

Wait, he actually paid lawyers?

Fixbeat , in Trump Spent $50 Million in Donor Money on Legal Bills Last Year.

I don't know, does anyone feel bad for these donors?

Not even a little bit. If you donate to a known grifter and criminal I have zero sympathy for you.

Considering their donations forcibly keep us fresh in pictures like the one in the preview - people had better not feel bad for them.

Can't complain about something that is no longer an issue. Where would they get the next few decades of outrage bait from if they did?

This is a fact! They even rigged it last year to make it more believable! Its the only way the Kansas City CHEATS could have beaten the Eagles!

Its all coming together and making sense... we're through the looking glass people...

Now if I can only find a cockeyed conspiracy theory to explain why the Flyers havent won a Stanley cup since 1975.

Tylerdurdon ,

It's a little known fact (they take all of it off the Internet when it surfaces, this post will probably get deleted soon), but the FAA controls the outcome of hockey and have since 1973.

In order to keep things extra hush hush, they cannot let the Flyers win again, it was just too close last time they did. The evidence is in the fights to...
