Credit card company Discover has decided to discontinue credit cardholders giving money to the GiveSendGo platform, which was used to launch a campaign for Rittenhouse’s legal defense. Currently, all indicators point to self-defense in the Rittenhouse case.
THROWING BRICKS AT OFFICERS IS FINE
Yet they appear to be fine letting credit cardholders donate in support of a man who is alleged to have thrown bricks at police officers during riots in Pittsburgh.

GOFUNDME, THE CHOICE OF ANARCHO-COMMUNISTS
GoFundMe, which is notorious for canceling conservative fundraisers, even when it comes to police or people injured by radicals, crowdsources funds for radical leftists.
A campaign to support Kyle Rittenhouse was taken down. He is the 17-year-old who shot three men who were attacking him in Kenosha during the riots. Two of those men, antifas, died.
Fundraising for Rittenhouse violated their terms of service which are, get this, to prohibit “activity that GoFundMe may deem in its sole discretion to be unacceptable.”
In other words, they have no definable terms of service.
At the same time, the site brags it is “The most trusted free online fundraiser platform.”
Molotov Cocktail-carrying rioters are A-OK, however. Zachary Alexander Karas of San Diego was caught by police with two Molotov Cocktails at a protest in La Mesa, according to an op-ed at Post Millennial.
They not only hosted his campaign but donated $150 themselves.
It’s not just because it’s Rittenhouse.
Recently, Candace Owens’ GoFundMe for an Alabama bar owner was taken down when he called George Floyd a ‘thug’ and protesters “idiots.” His opinion was not allowed.
Ms. Owens said, “Once again, conservatives and Trump supporters need to adapt to a world that tells us that our very existence is unacceptable. That our ideas, thoughts, and now even our charitable efforts are unacceptable. That threatening, boycotting, and canceling us is okay.”
GoFundMe canceled the campaigns of Christian bakers and faith-based florists who refused service to same-sex weddings. They wouldn’t allow funds for the officers — charged but found innocent — in the death of Freddie Gray.

Trump WRECKS The GOP? The GOP is Dead? The old outdated GOP republican party of sellout establishment backstabbing globalist mirror image democrat RINO’s has been dead for years. Generations actually. It took real leaders like Ronald Reagan and Donald J. Trump to resurrect it with a real populist agenda. Something that “The People” could get behind because it hasn’t been about “The People” of the United States with those old has-been rats for as long as anyone can remember. Anyone from the Tea Party anyway. These are the ‘only’ two presidents in the last 100 years that have put America First, and if your not putting America First then your just NOT an American…PERIOD! The Tea Party IS the new republican party, and those old republican hacks that have been ejected and dejected from the party may as well go back to the party and people they truly represent. Themselves, self interests, globalism, and the Marxist totalitarian socialist democrat party. That includes every member of the Lincoln Project which should have been named the Woodrow Wilson Project. You can’t fool a TRUE conservative just by naming your bushwhacking attack dog project after a Real conservative just to attack another REAL conservative. The ass-hats in the tinker-tank failed. I can’t call it a think tank when there isn’t a brain amongst them. The Trump Party is the Tea Party, and The Tea Party is the GOP party. The republican party, and thank God for that, because the GOP ‘was dead’ with the little worms eating away and prospering from its rotting carcass. Trump resurrected it from the dead and its alive again as proven by ANY Trump Rally. Something NO OTHER GOP has ever had with ANY KIND of success. Go back and hide in your corners you little putrid flesh eating bugs, gnawing at the pockets and livelihoods of the working class just to steal from us and sell us out to fill your own bank accounts. The people know the difference between a TRUE American and the leachy political class that continuously eats from both ends as both an ass and a mouth, but yet can’t taste their own feces.
Any and all of you outraged by this should do a little research into ‘Operation Chokepoint’. The FedDogs claim that this is no longer operating, but it is.

Though I’ve never had a Discover card, I find it reprehensible that any credit card provider should control what the user does with his credit.
That’s akin to the Mayor of New York City mandating that nobody can purchase a 32oz soft drink. There are ways around both the Discover ban and the Mayor’s ban. Each involves going to another product.
In the Mayor’s case, one simply buys two 16oz drinks. In Discover’s case, one simply cuts their Discover Card in half (right through the chip) and either uses a competing credit provider’s card or finds a way to mail a check or money order directly to Kyle Rittenhouse.
Discover will soon discover that a lot of its current users will soon discover that Discover SUCKS!
By the way, GoFundMe skims a lot on your donation off the top and gives the rest to the target. IIRC, they get 10%, or maybe it’s 15%.
I wouldn’t give them 15¢
…my 2¢ worth is the limit!
I’m not a lawyer, but how do they have any say in who or where you can use your card with? That seems highly illegal to me. Seems like a law suit is needed.
Also, if gofundme actually has “The most trusted free online fundraiser platform.” on their website, and they take a portion of the donations, isn’t that false advertising?
Why isn’t it posting my comments?
They will discover no one their CC any more. Are you going to get BLM and Antifa to buy them?
