Of course you wouldn't. They routinely tear apart Republican claims.

Well there is that. But it's more the repeated accusations of embezzlement first from his ex-wife and now his new partners.

Hmmm...
People who are vested in and benefit from a certain accusation that has not, as yet, passed the court giggle test are making that accusation. And a person who is predisposed to not liking a site because it routinely tears apart stories from his own political camp is predisposed to believing that accusation without proof.
What is this called again? Confirmation something?
I hear lots of repeated accusations that the Trump family is riding roughshod over America's democratic institutions in collusion with the Russians. Since there are repeated accusations of this, by Tyche logic they must be true!
-
Ultimately the questions are two:
Does embezzlement or infidelity affect the veracity of a a "significant" number of Snopes articles?
Does it mean that these claims for legal expenses are fraud?My answer, given no further details than what was in that article, is no. Owners of some types of corporations can take money out of those corporations. It may be a surprise to other owners, but it is legal. I was at a company where friends betrayed one another and it ended with one suicide at the office, all perfectly legal, just extremely dishonest and distasteful.

My answer is a lot harsher. That article spent a good 2/3 of its verbiage on the sexual pasts of people in the company. That is a sign of weaksauce horseshit that they stirred a sexual scandal into to taint, as it were, the jury pool in the trial by media.
And that, all by itself, tells me the narrative being pitched is bullshit.
-
@WTFE That. When you have to go the slut-shaming route to try to discredit someone for something else, you've already lost the real argument.
Oh fucking well.

That article is from last year, before the current charade. I'm gonna have to side with the wife. I believe the guy really was mismanaging their cash and spending all their money on hookers. She was a smart cookie to find some rubes to sell off her half of the company. That might have been the end of it, but these new owners are apparently having similar difficulties with Mikkelson's reckless money management. Too bad for them.
I'm sure he won't spend the donation money on hookers.

I wouldn't be so hard on the wife. Sometimes men really are pigs.

@Tyche ...slut-shaming is not unique to women, and never has been.

I swear the poll might as well say things like, "Do you hate God?" and "When did you stop beating your wife?" I haven't seen this much slant since I last answered a political phone poll.

I did the poll about Uber. Because fuck Uber. Austin kicked them out once and it allowed small, local ridesharing companies to do great. Also cabs in Austin are cheap, anyways. Uber is... no. Just no.

Good to know cabs are cheap. Here in Seattle-region I've used Lyft because a) better than Uber, b) cabs are not cheap.

In Austin, use Fasten. They pay their drivers better and are a local company.
