Donald Trumps main 2024 White House campaign fundraising operation sharply increased spending at the former president's properties in recent months, funneling money into his businesses at a time when he is facing serious legal jeopardy and desperately needs cash.

Trumps joint fundraising committee wrote three checks in February and one in March to his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, totaling $411,287 and another in March to Trump National Doral Miami for $62,337, according to a report filed to the Federal Election Commission this week.

Federal law and FEC regulations allow donor funds to be spent at a candidates business so long as the campaign pays fair market value, experts say. Trump has been doing it for years, shifting millions in campaign cash into his sprawling business empire to pay for expenses such as using his personal aircraft for political events, rent at Trump Tower and events at his properties, which has included hotels and private clubs.

While the practice is legal, some campaign finance experts believe it raises ethical concerns when a candidate is generating personal revenue off running for office.

When voters see something like this happening it contributes to their distrust of the political system and their elected officials' motives, said Shanna Ports, senior legal counsel with the Campaign Legal Center, a nonprofit government accountability group.

That's the "victory" he's talking about. Dude literally thinks he had anything to do with what happened and has made bitching about gamefaqs his entire personality despite being regularly banned.

Never used Discord. What's it like?

Hmmm. I got a notification for a new post, but whoever 198 is has me blocked. Interesting.

Doesn't look like it's been voted on yet, as I don't see it on there and search results come up with nothing.

Agreed. And I'm not even a huge anime fan, but the corporate Hollywood scum are continually proving that they are soulless husks with zero interest in creativity or even catering to established fanbases.

Wow I just caught up on all this and this is like one of the only places I still come Ive been here since I was a teen. This is ridiculous and infuriating.

Really wonder why people can't just shut the fuck up and accept trans people.

I mean, I don't wonder why, but wouldn't it be cool if they stopped trying to eradicate trans people everywhere?

The ps5 board had a topic about Ninja getting diagnosed with cancer. At least 5 different accounts were banned because of it.

Make of that what you will.

I would like to see Trump confined to a cell for jury tampering.

wow, i just checked it on Mybrainisbroken's incel subreddit to see what the chuds are getting up to over this whole saga. there's a thread Taiis posted with leaked mod info about how they are all KOSed, and then there is a thread Mybrainisbroken posted celebrating the anniversary of when they "took down" the Politics board, with a video he took that apparently shows that he printed out a gigantic commemorative banner, hung it up in his living room, and let loose a bunch of balloons. and then he's got ANOTHER thread celebrating their "victory" of getting CE privatized. and claiming that their campaign to harass Fandom employees is what got it privatized. how fucking pathetic.

lol, like, why on earth would you think your actions had anything to do with policy changes on a website that has permanently barred you from posting on no matter how many accounts you create, as soon as the accounts are identified as you? how the fuck does that make sense in his mind?

So you will permanently lose access after being sent to Purgatory for any reason? That needs to change because it can be abused.
