It’s Official: With “Vermin,” Trump Is Now Using Straight-up Nazi Talk He’s telling us what he will do to his political enemies if he’s president again. Is anyone listening?

I feel pretty safe in saying that we can now stop giving him the benefit of that particular doubt. His use—twice; once on social media, and then repeated in a speech—of the word “vermin” to describe his political enemies cannot be an accident. That’s an unusual word choice. It’s not a smear that one just grabs out of the air. And it appears in history chiefly in one context, and one context only.

He can get a million idiots to sign over their social security checks just by posting a video. He’s never running out of money.

Can't. That would be another crime.

People can help other people pay court costs. It's done every day across the US.

Where are you getting your information?

His business assets are under audit and he's not allowed to create any new accounts.

He can't accept money, his legal team could buy they haven't been paid by him or anyone else at this point.

His business accounts in New York, which is his main state of operation, sure.

He can accept money. He can use specific funds to pay lawyers.

I need to see a citation for what your are saying. I asked a question and all you did was say it less wrong, but still no reference.

It would be naive to assume there isn't a federal investigation at this point.

Sure, but he's partially in trouble for soliciting money and not using it for that purpose. Similarly his legal team repeatedly complain about not getting paid.

It's fraud, his accounts are being investigated, this is public knowledge I need not prove to you because it is in fact common sense as well given the charges directly related to it.

Still no citation?

It's not all fraud and it's not all illegal. That's effectively what you're asserting not simply to me, but to everyone who reads.

That means a quick Google of things to find the common sense article that says he has no means of support. Not less... You're not asserting less. You're saying or strongly implying none.

I don't need to, it's common knowledge he's being investigated for fraud both campaign and business.

It's fraud, he's being charged for it what even are you talking about.

Economists have been questioning his ability to pay since the order came down, again public knowledge.

Saying "everyone knows this" while actaul facts are presented and then you double down?

That is not logical. Or reasonable. Or good faith.

You are doing the Trump, "everyone's saying it..." and defending it while being factually wrong.

Got an article that says I'm wrong? You don't, do you. That's why you're resisting.

Why are you so all-in on spouting falsehoods in this thread?

Sure, burden of proof lays with the accuser. An editorial, evidence it is not.

I'm glad the arbiter has spoken, have you any more decrees I should grovel for?

No I'm saying use Google, you won't trust me anyway clearly so read it or don't, it's not going to bother me.

I have used Google both ways. It doesn't say what you assert and the link works. I get that you've used up All your free clicks on every news source on the internet and now the internet is pay walled and you like that as a shutdown technique.

Just stop spreading falsehoods that matter.

Not literally, mate. But if you can scam a grandmother out of her money by asking for itunes gift cards, you can bet she'll send an actual check.
