Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Lol not to mention the “SM” trademark logo down there absolutely will not stop people from just copy/pasting this jpeg onto their scams en masse lol
This is literally a boon for trump scammers. Embed that stupid ass photo onto your scam site, watch the money roll in. This helps the scammers, if anything.
But only an authentic seal will turn orange when exposed to a stream of urine.
That just reminded me of the alleged piss fetish video of trump that's floating around somewhere. US politics are wack
What's the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean? Trump has never paid to have a garbanzo bean on him.
Pretty sure I saw that video. It was Faces of Death 69.
Oh shit it's trickling down :O
The only trickle down that actually exists
This is comic _gold_en shower 😂
Who's to say that his org isn't behind some of the scams? That way they get the donations without those pesky campaign finance regulations. Half joking, but I wouldn't put it past him to be honest.
That definitely shouldn’t be half a joke. Almost all American campaign fundraising is a joke and a scam. Not o mention the current laws protecting dark money and the massive loopholes for funneling money. Everything that shady ass campaign did with their fundraising and the hoards of thieves teeming in the halls of any and every trump campaign office, the only violation was him using a check to pay off a porn star. And that only had any repercussions because it was such a tawdry story with such stupid criminals openly admitting to their crimes on record. Like…I guarantee you way worse shit has been done with way more campaign cash. It just isn’t actually prosecuted (along with almost all other white collar crime in the US since the 80s).
Oh, they are. This is just a way to ensure that he gets a “cut” from all the other scammers, too.
What does SM even stand for? I haven't seen that one before
Service Mark. It's a trademark but for a service instead of a product.
Scamming As a Service? ;)
Shitty Marketing.
didn't find a matching registration in TESS (uspto db).
Registration of a mark costs money, why would Trump spend money on his own scam?
Right, if it was registered they'd use the ® mark. ™ and ℠ are for trademarks and service marks not registered but still claimed.
It's not trying to stop scammers. It's a way to stop other GOP super PACs from collecting money. He just wants to make sure his own supporters are only giving him money and not anyone else.
