18 U.S. Code Β§ 597 - Expenditures to influence voting
25 P.S. Β§ 3539
If he's just giving them a hundred bucks and saying here you go that's totally fine
Asking a vote for him is what makes it illegal
Nah. That's true of the federal law but the PA law merely requires the intent to influence.
He's a New York billionaire in (what appears to be) a Dollar Tree in Pennsylvania while campaigning for president. What the heck else would he be doing there other than trying to garner votes?
Prove it beyond a reasonable doubt.
A man like himself probably has countless examples of donations over the decades
Oof. Be careful moving the goalposts so quickly. It can be a real strain on your back.
Proof is not my responsibility, nor is it even possible for some random person on the internet to acquire. An actual investigation would require access to the videos clearly being recorded, interviews with those who were present, and other things which I, a layperson, could not reasonably possess.
However, given his history of mental instability, his penchant for committing felonies, and his absolute disregard for the rule of law in pursuit of acquisition or retention of power... I think we can comfortably say that (while we cannot prove it beyond a reasonable doubt) it is reasonable, if not likely, that his intention was to exchange money for votes.
that's not moving the goalpost you r-slur
It literally is. The burden of proof is on the person accusing somebody of a crime. It's innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt
No goal posts are being moved
This is America mother fricker
That's the only way his voters will ever get their donation money back
sorry i meant
it's not. but this isn't buying votes.
Redditors when you bodyshame: >:(

Which, I believe, is against the law. Then again, once a felon always a felon.
150 karma after 4 years.
is that supposed to be an insult?
I'd crumple it up and very carefully toss it back to him while holding eye contact. Seeing his response would easily be worth the money for me

Can anybody explain to me why is donating* for campaigns even a thing in US? Especially since they have only 2 super big parties? Its understandable in yurop and such where small/starter parties cant afford their own campaign but wtf is the point here burgers explain this

We have more money than we know what to do with. But unironically I don't get it. Donating money to some politician with more money than you can ever dream of is a cuck move.
