he gives homeless people fake money so they get arrested when they try to spend it.
What drives these people and why do want people like this back in the White House?
Would be a real shame if this fuckstick became the subject of a Secret Service investigation based on his own claims (although the Trumpies would just use it as more ammo in their constant whining about how unfairly they're treated and "politically motivated blah blah blah..")
That was my first thought. Did he not just admit to possessing fake currency knowingly? Would not the secret service be really interested in how he came into possession of those fake bills?
It's my understanding that when he posted the story, he also said that it was a joke. That's probably enough to avoid an investigation, let alone prosecution, without a victim. Even if he hadn't said that it was a joke, they would still need to have evidence of an actual crime -- a vendor who accepted the counterfeit bill, or a homeless person arrested for trying to pass it on, who could then tie the bill to McEntee. Absent that, what is there?
That said, who thinks this would even be a funny joke. "Here's a funny joke: I beat the shit out of a homeless man. LOL!"
