He started his empire with a small loan of about a million bucks, according to him. It's believed it was more of a $60 million loan which he was still paying on in the 80s.
I saw recently where the requests they were sending to donors asking for help in funding the "legal battles" also included fine print that states a large portion of said money will go towards his campaign debt. In addition, those donors who haven't donated after several attempts have apparently been sent "final notices' to compel them to do so. It's all so very unseemly.

Commonwealth... It's a commonwealth. Have to go to a special store to buy beer, and it's warm.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

That's the little known Amendment 66. Which states in the event of somebody's vote not getting counted, all votes automatically go to the incumbent. It also ordered the stormtroopers to eradicate the jedi, which seemed odd a couple hundred years ago.

Have to go to another state to buy liquor in my current predicament, and depending on which one that is the bridge costs $5

Are they filming Footloose 2 there as well? I must admit that I cringed a lil bit yesterday when our governor said there is to be no dancing in public to further notice...

Closest ‘*fine wine & liquor’ got boarded up and apparently closed for good after the last round of looting and ATM bandits. Pretty cool when the state tells you who can and can’t buy ***** shitty whiskey in a major ***** city. Fauckers .
* why the **** do they need to try to upscale brand the only state liquor store? You have no competition. There is no Ned for the pretense of quality. Fauckers .

Saw a female attorney on one of the Sunday morning shows on Fox going way over the top on the Dominion vote counting software.
She claimed that the software was marketed as being able to steal elections. Claimed multiple Democrats even received kick backs for buying this software so that they could rig the election.
It was the most outrageous claim I have actually seen on a major news show. It sounded like something from the crazy depths of reddit.
Also saw Gulianai guaranteeing that he could prove massive voter fraud on the level of hundreds of thousands of votes.

Trump's legal team currently sits at 1-24 in legal challenges and I don't think this one is going in the win column...

It’s incredibly divisive. My fiancées family is heavily Republican and they loved Trump. At this point, they are almost belligerent when it comes to this topic. They believe every bit of misinformation out there. I have tried telling them that it isn’t true, that a large number of different sources have fact-checked the claims and found them to be misinformation etc.
They are too confident in their own intelligence and think that I am the stupid one that has fallen for the deep left fraud. They think that Biden is going to eliminate Social Security, Medicare, that he is going to implement $1000 taxes per gun, per citizen. They think that he is going to crash the economy and bankrupt citizens with Obamacare.
Their information diet is terrifying seeing how they believe all of these things. There is no arguing with them. I have tried showing them proof that these things aren’t true, but it doesn’t work.

My father in law once said that something wasn't true because he hadn't seen anything about it on FOX News. With that kind of logic, it is better to just get up and walk away.

Agreed. I don’t even entertain these conversations with them anymore. I just let it go.

Hey look. Fraud.
Georgia Secretary of State says Lindsey Graham asked about tossing ballots
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/nov/16/brad-raffensperger-georgia-secretary-state-says-li/
GA Secretary of State says fellow Republicans are pressuring him to find ways to exclude ballots
"The atmosphere has grown so contentious, Raffensperger said, that he and his wife, Tricia, have received death threats in recent days, including a text to him that read: 'You better not botch this recount. Your life depends on it.'"

Everything in this post is my fault.
