It was reported before that it's not about what is being sold. It's a way to avoid certain limits on donations. A person or company might not be able to donate as much as they want. But they can buy loads of products. And it doesn't matter how terrible they are. Ideally they're so terrible that nobody buys except as a donation. To save on costs of distribution, customer service, etc.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Trump would sell his children to get out of trouble.
God, Trump merch americana is going to be so obnoxious.
I wish he’d just hurry up and exile himself to Belarus so I could win the office pool already, gosh.
I hope he goes bankrupt and loses everything - just like all lower class people will if the GOP gets their way.
Looking more and more likely every day.
Jesus would literally whip a motherfucker over this
At least he's selling more than grift this time...
Fun observation of the day:
You can buy a hard-cover bound King James V bible from Barns and Noble for $22.50.
Or go to any church and they are free, not leather bound but it's really not about leather bound it's about what's inside
I think that if you spoke to Jesus himself, he'd say the exact same thing about the bible....
But does it have the bill of rights, constitution and declaration of Independence? You know the documents that also say to not put them in the same place, I don't think they'll read it but I hope at least one does and think "ooooo, yep yep yep I get it now."
Not patriotic enough
He missed a real opportunity there to make some additional money while selling Bibles for $66.66 or $69.
"I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive."
Romans 16:17-18
If only MAGA Republicans could read, they'd have seen this coming.
I think this also falls under "taking the Lord's name in vain".
Is that a really big Bible or ....
Straight up “Mark of the Beast.”
Are they all printed upside down?
Maybe it's right to left and he's made a maga manga.
manga
I think certain parts of the Bible are a little too "kinky" for manga form.
Starts sweating profusely
Sounds like a nice joke, but I can't think of a single thing in there that fits that description.
Don't downvote me though unless you at least remember something I don't. Then again, why would that deserve a downvote
There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. Ezekiel 23:20
There's also the rape of Dina, Lot and his daughters, and the Song of Songs (Song of Solomon) also come to mind. There's probably more that I can't remember.
I wouldn't downvote a simple question. Also, it's best not to care about downvotes anyways. Only votes that matter is up voting a post so it appears on the front page if it's important.
Those are all super tame and vanilla— certainly not "too kinky for manga". Rape in-and-of-itself isn't even a kink unless it's the person wanting to feel raped— which is still pretty vanilla. But I digress.
Jesus took a long weekend for our sins.
With trump, god is testing Christians, and they fail every time.
This is self induced.
