Would they have hosted a party and donated money to her campaign? Would Phil have been fired by now? ...these are the questions that are raised, and seeing how fervently they're supporting her.... it's like the answer to the first question is "No".

Drunkard Posted July 10, 2018 Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) I'm not going to quote that huge table but what's the deal with the multiple contributions of the same amount ($1,000 or $2,700) being made by the same person on the same day? I assume $2,700 is some sort of a limit but if that's the case why were Terry and Kim eligible to donate $2,700 on December 31st so many damn times? Did they make donations in the name of each kid? Pets? etc. Or was there some sort of error when it was copy/pasted? And if it's donated to some PAC that has no limit why not just donate $30,000 all in one shot instead of a dozen times in $2,700 increments?

That Aud Smell Posted July 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2018 Election law is notoriously technical. I'm sure there are reasons for the contributions being in the amounts and number they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all of us were incredibly excited when he was a candidate for the job, and I'm sure the owners were, too. 2. Very possibly. Like I've said elsewhere, I've gone to plenty of fundraisers for candidates whom I don't like, because colleagues need a "showing up," and colleagues have done fhe same for candidates they don't like, too. This is just a couple with access doing a favor for a key employee. And also possibly not. 3. Almost certainly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted October 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 (edited) This is a bit of a "long view," but very worthwhile if you have the time. This is NFL player Eric Reid explaining why he's got a problem with fellow NFL player Malcolm Jenkins. Note well how Terry Pegula's name comes up -- a couple of times -- as having told the NFL players in a widely reported meeting that the league needed a "black figurehead" to step forward and help rehabilitate the league (read: white owners (Kim Pegula notwithstanding (that's my snarky take, by the way - there's no mention of Kim Pegula in the clip))) in the eyes of its sponsors and other stakeholders relative to the players' pregame protests. Launch Terry Pegula into the freakin' sun for all I care at this point. Edited October 29, 2018 by That Aud Smell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted October 29, 2018 Report Share Posted October 29, 2018 That's an interesting video to watch... thanks for sharing. It's definitely not painting a pretty picture of Terry Pegula. I'd love to hear what he has to say about those comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand what you are saying. However, it's a single side of a story. It certainly comes across as genuine and I'm not necessarily inclined to disbelieve him. That said, I believe it would be in the best interest of gauging the reality of the situation by hearing what he has to say. Even if it comes across as completely polished and unbelievable BS.
