Theyâll be back. Count on it.
Interesting dynamic. I think youâll see a lot of Republican leaners bow out of 2020 on the excuse that Hillary was the reason they voted for Trump in 2016. Trump has become too toxic socially, politically and economically. But that doesnât excuse the full racism on display that they all cheered or succumbed to.
So, similarly weâd be encouraged when someone cuts down their contributions to the KKK by 90% year over year.
Seems legit.
Yep, like all the rich Mussolini enablers, is not that they actually liked him, they just wanted to keep the communists out, reallyâŚ
Mercer made his billions by applying mathematics to the stock market. Thatâs called a âhedge fundâ and it is not investing. Unless you think playing the roulette wheel is also investing.
Looking forward to the day when these ilk lose all of their money in their gambling habits.
The family was primarily motivated by a desire to keep Hillary Clinton out of the presidency,
Thatâs why weâre where we are today.Thatâs it. And if Bernie wins the nomination, theyâll be right back in it.
In 2020, you likely wonât see Robert and Diana Mercer writing a $15.5 million check to various Trump platforms like they did last election cycle. The family also donated $1 million to Trumpâs inaugural committee and pumped funding into the then-Steve Bannon run conservative news website, Breitbart.
Why not mention their close links to the SCL Group / Cambridge Analytica group of companies, which appeared to be involved in serious propaganda/manipulation of the voters, in th US 2106 election, but also in Brexit and other elections ?
IIRC, Mercer Pereâs daughters are involved in some of the successors to SCL/CA, they are still around and they still needs to be investigated.
âThanks for the tax cut, now fuck off. Unless of course itâs Elizabeth Warren who is going to raise our taxes by even more than you cut them. Then, well, weâre with you all the way Donnie.â
So is this the beginning?
If the money goes, then the image starts to crack, and once big donors like the Mercers go away, will this give others the âpermissionâ to do the same.
Trump wonât have meaningful individual donations and we know he canât/wonât fund himself.
It may come down to Sheldon Adelson trying to buy an election.
Itâs always about the money.
In my imagination there is a stupendous well of Nazi/fascist money worldwide to support Trump. A paranoid nightmare? Perhaps
One thing for sure. The new immanent flood of central bank money while US stocks are inches from an all time high is an overt demonstration of support for Trumpism.
He wants to spend more time with his urine collection.

That doesnât matter. As we were told, repeatedly, Toadglans doesnât need outside money because his campaign is âself-funded.â
Speaking of campaigns, the Mango Menace will be kicking his off in Orlando tonight. That makes me wonder, What were all those other previous campaign rallies over the last 18 months for? How will this one differ? Soy confundido.
Meh. They got their money back on the tax cut alone.
Now theyâre shopping for which Dem will be their best investment. âWho is most corporate friendly?â
Hate-filled plutocrats. They must be Christian.
Yeah, Iâm not buying it. Maybe its just me but theyâre probably just shopping around for some deeper and darker place to channel that money tRumpâs way. Something even more off the grid than theyâve used in the past. Since being found out to be such scum in the 2016 election, they have done little to correct the record, other than to go dark and avoid even more public scrutiny and bad press than theyâve already attracted. In the meantime, Adelson will make up for the hole in tRumpâs fundraising that the Mercerâs once provided should he need the extra passing-around cash he uses to keep people flush and onboard with his hateful agenda.
Trump can make up for the losses by chipping in some of the tens of millions he siphoned off his inaugural committee coffers.
That is a story getting far too little scrutiny by the media, and I suspect suffering from a similar lack of due diligence on the part of law enforcement investigators. There is zero doubt in my mind that was a multi-million dollar grift, all of it making its way into Trumpâs pockets.
KAC is a Mercer flunkie, IIRCâŚ
âThe family was primarily motivated by a desire to keep Hillary Clinton out of the presidency, Vanity Fair reported.â
They could have given that money to the American Green Party.
Of the front runners definitely Biden.
