  • Prechecked boxes

    From Jeff Thiele@1:387/26 to All on Saturday, April 03, 2021 17:34:26
    If any of you donated to Trump, you might want to check your bank statements. It seems that the Trump campaign pre-checked the "Make this a recurring donation" box and hid it in the fine print, requiring potential donors to locate and uncheck it in order to prevent monthly or weekly donation recurrences.

    Pretty slimy operation, don't you think?

    It's wrong if you hoodwinked people into it without their knowledge or
    consent.

    If the box was pre-checked, then that counts as consent. Let me know when they win in court.

    It was deceptive and unethical. And it targeted his supporters.

    All my family and all my friends are Republicans who support Trump, and I haven't heard a single complaint. CNN is still hungry for Trump dirt.

    Perhaps they're too proud to admit that Trump scammed them.

    Funny how lefties tell you how `wrong' it is to `hoodwink people without their knowledge or consent'.....yet don't see anything wrong with releasing people who invaded the country illegally, and bussing them all over the nation to complicate being able to keep track of them, hoodwinking taxpayers into paying for social services and medical care for invaders.
