    Are Antifa and MS13 going to team up?
    Are they in fact one and the same?
    Are they both being run by the Deep State?
    Are they just cover for pedophile rings operated out of Vegan restaurants?
    Is Voodoo Donuts a cover for ACTUAL voodoo?

    Just spitballing your next thread ideas.

    Odd...4-to-1 for R's over D's, but 6x that combined amount for an initiative that--no politics--would seem to be a platform the R's he's backing would strongly oppose?

    I mean, I guess he's not a single-issue voter/donor, but this one seems odd.

    It's either that or substance abuse.

    Lol the first comment on the BE article is Dave saying he's leaving the comments open for now, knowing full well what's going to happen (it turning into an insane political rambling comment section like here) and then the last comment is him saying he's shutting it down even though we all knew that's what was going to happen. What a cornball, it's almost like that site wants you to be against the team sometimes with the shit they post.

    There's people in the BE article saying he supports Nazis marching in the streets since he did this. We left that tolerance street for differing opinions a while ago lol.

    Someone said he donated to both parties to hedge his bets so he'll be in the ears of whomever wins. That seems like a smart rich guy thing to do.

    Either that or it's some kind of joke.

    Nothing, but it's a bit like Stotts playing Lillard at center. Yeah, he's the coach so he gets to make that decision, but people are going to point out it doesn't make sense.

    And to be clear, I'm saying it doesn't make sense because it doesn't fit with Paul's other known interests.

    He's just trying to give support to both sides in some way. If we all assume we know all his interest thats pretty aragant of us!
    What if he's measured some of the things that have happened in a positive light with regards to the economy & business climate?
    Maybe he had relatives that are staunch righties?
    Maybe he's just giving back some of the taxes he's saved this year and wants to be a bit fair with his donation?
    Maybe he's dating a republican candidate or current politician?
    Maybe he'll get a huge discount on his new diesel burning around the world Ship?
    One thing about Paul, he understands a balance sheet.

    Or maybe he's going to come out in support of players kneeling during the NA.
