Team Trump figured out early, even before 'landsliding' into office, that once at the controls of the legal system, they can rampage quasi-legally, semi-legally, pseudo-legally, proto-legally and bald-faced illegally and the Loyal Opposition will take days, weeks, months & years to catch up. Set enough fires in enough dumpsters and you can burn down Wahington, which is plainly the object in view,
I find it strange that right after this story appeared in Wonkette and several other websites, I got 3 money-begging text messages in as many hours from "Act Blue".
As I always do, I deleted the message and blocked the number, (Fat lot of good that does).
And just for the record, I doubt seriously those messages were really from Act Blue.
" Amazing scheme, " darnit, they'll be bragging now. Brilliant article. I wonder if catsup and burnt steak will be on the menu for the * special dinner. * Cryptocurrencies such as the Trump coin profit by fractional, aye ?

Ta, Dok. I'm quite cross with ActBlue. They have shared my phone number with EVERY fucking Democrat in the country who is running for ANY office. However, we all know that every accusation is a confession, and we all know who was put into office with TONS of foreign money and interference. For fuck's fucking sake!
For several years there was a woman who claimed as her 'residence address' for voting status was a place forbidden from being a residence. Not merely zoned against, but actively forbidden.
That's voter fraud.
The place was Mar-A-Lago, which as a condition for being a private club was legally forbidden from being used as a private residence. The woman was Ivanka Trump.
Just unbelievable what that bastard continues to get away with. I'm pretty sure this whole "dinner with the president" thing ruins afoul of all the rules. Our government has as much legitimacy as the WWE now.
Let me get this straight. It’s OK for Elon Musk to create a PAC of one person, and use it to give $288 million to elect Trump, but I as an individual am limited to giving $3,500, if I don’t create my own PAC or decide not to donate to a PAC or Party Committee (where I could give somewhat more).
But it’s OK for Trump to sell Teslas in front of the White House and OK to offer dinners with him if you buy his coins.
But it’s not OK to have a service like ActBlue that takes our small donations to help our local candidates, because they are part of the opposition party.
Every accusation from this criminal fucker is an admission. The whole “order” reads like a rundown of Pumpkin Pinochet’s election crimes. It’s all fucking upside-down.
If I were a betting man, and not on a fourth-tier sports gambling app like secretary beer-bong, I'd put my money on the freeze thing. That is definitely going to happen.
"The order itself, if you’re interested in knowing the pretext for the DOJ “investigation,” claims that congressional Republicans found evidence of possibly hinky donations to ActBlue that are very criminal"
"Federal law (52 U.S.C. 30121 and 30122) strictly prohibits making political contributions in the name of another person, as well as contributions by foreign nationals.
Notwithstanding these laws designed to protect American democracy, press reports and investigations by congressional committees have generated extremely troubling evidence that online fundraising platforms have been willing participants in schemes to launder excessive and prohibited contributions to political candidates and committees.
...
Further, there is evidence to suggest that foreign nationals are seeking to misuse online fundraising platforms to improperly influence American elections. A recent House of Representatives investigation revealed that a platform named ActBlue had in recent years detected at least 22 “significant fraud campaigns”, nearly half of which had a foreign nexus. During a 30-day window during the 2024 campaign, the platform detected 237 donations from foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards, indicating that this activity remains a pressing concern."

Has anyone created an ActBlue meme coin, yet? There's millions to be made there.
here's a good article about actblue, which is apparently getting some unfair bad press even without the DOJ's help https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/4/24/2318653/-Looks-like-I-m-gonna-have-to-chime-in-about-the-ActBlue-brouhaha?pm_campaign=front_page&pm_source=trending&pm_medium=web
"Poll: Canadians despise Trump and distrust US"
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/26/canada-election-poll-favorability-00311632
That's OK, so do the rest of us.
"Hinky donations"? You mean like "tech" billionaires doanting hundreds of millions of dollarts to MAGA candidates? Like that?

Democrats fight back to the Act Blue attack! Get Citizen's United repealed!!! Get it freezed in the interim too.
And kick Alito in the sack.
