Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

An Alabama sheriff personally kept $1.5 million that was supposed to feed ICE detainees

Sheriff Todd Entrekin of Etowah County, Alabama, lost his re-election bid this year after he was found to have personally pocketed $750,000 allotted for feeding inmates in county lockup and using it to buy himself a beach house. Ethical questions aside, Entrekin's taking was legal under Alabama law
:headscratch:
— but a further $1.5 million he took home from funds for feeding federal immigration detainees may not be....

"There's pretty much no way that the federal government is okay with this," George Washington University law professor Randall Eliason told AL.com. "Regardless of what he argues about the Alabama law, if it comes to light that he's taking these federal funds that are supposed to be used to feed and house federal prisoners, and instead is putting [hundreds of thousands of] dollars in his pocket, that would be of great interest to federal prosecutors." ...
:---P

FYI, Etowah County, Alabama votes more than 3:1 for the Repugs. It's one of several counties in Alabama's 4th congressional district. "In the 2016 United States Presidential Election, the district was the only one in the country to give Donald Trump more than 80% of the vote, making it the President's strongest district in the country.

I hope the feds haul his sorry fat ass off to prison, introduce him to the general population, and then not feed him.

Irony:

Leaked ICE Manual Shows Gov't Allowing Informants To Engage In Illegal Behavior, Impersonate Lawyers, Journalists, And Doctors

ICE Seizes Over 1 Million Websites With No Due Process; Apparently Unaware That Copyright & Trademark Are Different

What part of "illegal" don't they understand?

Tell DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen: Resign immediately.

Ladders to Get Over Trump's Wall

$159,337 of $100.0M goal

Update 1

Folks, our friends at RAICES have officially taken over the withdraw process for the funds that have been raised.

Over the past few weeks, more than 7,000 of you raised nearly $160,000 for RAICES to help refugee and immigrant families. Even GoFundMe donated! ...
RAICES did well earlier last year, too.

They Wanted to Raise $1,500 for Immigrant Families at the Border. They Got Over $20 Million.

I was a bit concerned about giving them any information, but, after reading about them, that's a pretty cool company... :thumbsup:

Way back when Working Assets (now CREDO) was exclusively socially responsible investments (not even mentioned by the Wiki page), they came from San Fran to my Rockies state at their own expense to help my lobbying out by providing expert testimony to the Leg. on South Africa divestment.

When they started doing long-distance phone service in 1991, I was just over their thousandth customer. Still am, but I don't really use their long-distance phone service anymore, it's bundled with my ISP/cable. I do have their credit card and cell service, do their actions and vote every month on where their donations should go, as you can without even being a customer.

They're not bad. If you signed, you'll get further action opportunities and some cell service pitches. I think you can opt out of the marketing alone. I know that you can opt out of all contacts.

I had a card with them, but they cancelled it a few years ago, saying that they we're ending all credit cards.

I never had a late payment or anything else negative.

No mention of the credit card on either the CREDO Mobile or the Working Assets website.

A guess: They and the bank my particular card was issued through decided not to cancel customers even though they technically don't do cards anymore.

So many questions.... how's he going to build it himself on property he doesn't own? How does "building a wall" qualify as a charity?

Kudos for him realizing it was a pretty stupid idea.... on to the next stupid idea I suppose.

It's still a scam. Sleazebags Kolfage, Kobach, Blackwater founder Erik Prince, and also "David Clarke, a former Milwaukee County Sheriff and fierce supporter of Trump's immigration policy who works at a pro-Donald Trump super PAC" knew all along that they would shut the original down and that some portion of the donors would opt for redirecting money into their pockets rather than getting the refunds. Just a measly 5% nets them $1 million and nothing will be ever be built besides maybe a 1/4 mile for their promo materials. Beyond their generous pay, monies will go to immigrant-bashing and POSPOTUS and other rightwing campaigns. Watch.

Oh I don't doubt that at all. There was a reason he never said what would happen if the goal wasn't met.
