The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Except that isn't what happened dope:

The Obama campaign sends along the following response:

'Credit card contributions to Obama for America are, in fact, processed using AVS (Address Verification System).

'If a billing address is verified via AVS, then the credit card contribution is processed without delay. Some transactions caught by AVS may initially appear to a donor to have been accepted even though this is not the case. Obama for America employs a manual process to review any transaction flagged by AVS, also taking into account other fraud risk factors, and using fraud detection services provided by our credit card processor.

'As an example, the contribution discussed here powerlineblog.com - Dubious donations illustrated illegal contributor edition may have initially appeared to have gone through when the donor completed the transaction at 10:18 a.m. but it was rejected at 4:51 p.m. under our standard fraud detection procedures.

'So any claims that Obama for America has disabled AVS are inaccurate; any question about this would have been answered'if the question had been asked.'

4 second google and review Dope - that's all it took, please do better.
