    Trying to pretend this is money laundering

    Ugghhhh. “It’s a form of money laundering” does not mean “We can accuse Trump of formal criminal money laundering as defined by the law.” We’re saying the cunt is making it easy for bad churches to funnel him money. That is still bad, criminal or not.

    Wild criminal accusations based on nothing but vibes

    Do you read my replies? Again, we are not making criminal accusations. And it’s not “vibes”: We can see the man hawking bibles to free up his own money for campaign funds. It’s so obvious what he’s doing, that he’s put out a phoney disclaimer not-quite saying he isn’t.

      So your argument is that he’s money laundering because money laundering doesn’t mean money laundering.

      Okay. This conversation was a mistake.

        Yes. Words have different meanings in different contexts.

        This conversation was a mistake.

        We got there eventually. Here I’ll do you a favour: Blocked.

          Cool. Guess you won’t be able to reply when I tell you that I’m sorry I mistakenly believed you might be reasoned with. The idea that somehow “money laundering” actually means openly selling things to suckers totally legally is just an obvious lie because you don’t want to admit you were wrong. You’ll never get to hear that though.
