A little-noticed line in a recent criminal filing suggests federal prosecutors consider a popular political fundraising tactic to be legally questionable.
Why it matters: Fundraisers often boast of "5x" or other contribution matches to coax small-dollar donations. The Justice Department indicated in a court filing Monday this could amount to "material misrepresentations" if, as critics often contend, there's no evidence the match ever occurs.
What's happening: DOJ's comment was just a brief aside in a Statement of Offense. It accompanied a guilty plea Monday by the operator of a number of groups that raked in small-dollar donations last year with fraudulent fundraising appeals.
- One of the groups, Keep America Great Committee, sent fundraising emails that "contained material misrepresentations including promising '5x' matching of any donation to KAGC," DOJ wrote.
- In a news release on the guilty plea, DOJ emphasized the fraudulent matching offers. "The solicitations promised that individual donations would be “5x matched' by (defendant James) Bell’s PACs... However, none of the individual donations was ever '5x matched' by Bell or anyone else."

By the very nature of quantum physics politics, if anyone from Fogbow joins TRUTH SOCIAL using their common username and email address, there could be a faster-than-light tunnel opened to an alternate universe where anything could happen. Monsters could come pouring through, and they'd do all kinds of weird shit like anti-vax protests and voting for Republicans.
We can't allow that to happen.
Um… perhaps that’s because Twitter has been around for 15 years and anyone who wants to has already downloaded the app? Just maybe.raison de arizona wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 11:29 am I can't get on.

Not to worry -- using the Reversatron 2022 (tm), the flow is reversed and all the weird shit and republicans are sucked in the Void.

"The truth is out there, but there’s a very long waiting list to get to it"
Fake news alert! Donald Trump’s new social media app is a triumph

Truth hurts, everyone knows that. Nevertheless, I wasn’t expecting my experience with Truth Social, Donald Trump’s new social media venture, to be quite so painful. After months of fanfare, the former president’s new app, which is essentially a Twitter clone, was opened to the US public on Sunday night. Obviously, I signed up straight away – or at least I tried to.
I spent 20 frustrating minutes attempting to create a new account and getting error message after error message. Eventually, I managed to sign up with the username @stormyd, only to be told that I had been put on a waiting list “due to massive demand”. I was number 194,276 in line, apparently. Which, I’m sure, is a very precise number and not something they just pulled out of the air.
It is unclear how many people were actually successful at getting on Truth Social – although the Guardian has reported that at least one Catholic priest managed to join. The fact that you, apparently, needed God on your side to secure an account wasn’t the only issue with the launch: the app has also run into potential legal trouble. It turns out Truth Social may not have just taken inspiration from Twitter, the app’s logo looks suspiciously like that of a British solar power startup called Trailar. “Great to see Donald Trump supporting a growing sustainability business!” Trailar tweeted on Monday. “Maybe ask next time?”
If Trump’s new app failed to successfully launch on time, it would hardly be the surprise of the century. The last time he made a lot of noise about launching a new media platform, it turned out to be an underwhelming blog, which shuttered after just a few weeks. It’s not as if Trump put a technological genius in charge of Truth Social: Devin Nunes, head honcho at the app’s parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), may be most famous for the fact that he once unsuccessfully sued a cow.
Truth Social’s marketing material talks about welcoming diverse opinions but the app’s terms and conditions are rather more restrictive. Under “prohibited activities”, the rules state that users of the site agree not to “disparage, tarnish, or otherwise harm, in our opinion, us and/or the Site”.

no way I'm using my iPhone for this grifting hacking site. Or anything run by Devin Nunes. Though I'd trust the Cow for sure. Apparently the app gets your contacts and lots of iPhone data. Looked around if there's a Win 10 emulator for iPhone apps like TruthSocial. Does anybody know how (or if it's possible) to emulate it on a Win 10 laptop? Tablets are Amazon and TMobile Android and heard they don't have that yet apparently. Kept getting the 405 error on the laptop and tablets and looked, folks said that only iPhone was working at this point. Although I guess things change fast.

This literally made me sick. Unbelivable. Fuck Stew Peters* and the "party of law and order". This is what the GOP has formented.
@Orly_liciousSalt Lake County Sheriff Rosie Rivera said that he’d never seen anything like this in his nearly three decades in law enforcement.
“This campaign against police officers, this needs to stop. We’re here to protect and serve, and this is getting out of hand. This is a child who thought it was okay to pull a firearm and shoot that firearm at police. I’ve never seen anything like this in my 28 years.”
Sheriff Rivera also called the officer who redirected the weapon a “hero,” for both protecting his fellow officers and alerting his peers that the shooter was a child. “He’s a hero in my mind. He saved a life today.”

However, National Public Radio pointed out one key difference between Twitter and Truth Social: the terms of service on Trump’s platform prohibit disparaging its backers.
“I will note here that I checked out the app’s terms of service, and there is one thing that is prohibited on Truth Social: to ‘disparage, tarnish or otherwise harm’ the backers of the site,” NPR’s Bobby Allyn reported Tuesday.
“I imagine that means Donald Trump,” Allyn concluded.
