To open an email from former President Donald Trump’s Save America committee is to be berated, flattered, dismissed and forgiven, sometimes all in one message.
The aerial images of Mar a Lago all over the news should slow donations. Even the magat slackjaws must wonder “this guy has a big pink palace and needs me to send him money?”
That reminded me: A few years ago a guy on twitter set up a Gofundme and tweeted for people to send him money even though he didn’t need it and thousands sent him money. Of course he refunded it all because it was a joke.
It’s all merely a refinement of what Rick Perlstein called mail order conservatism a decade ago. Any cult of brainwashed people is always going to involve a scam:
Oh, and the J6 rioters are attempting to fundraise off being criminals:
Nice of him to do so. Hope he didn’t have to pay taxes!
tdfg won’t be charged with mail, wire or charitable donation fraud. But I have faith that he’ll be charged with something that should have real criminal consequences.
From the last graph: “ For Trump, who was recently raided by the FBI….”
@kateriga - I love you and your work, but for goodness sakes, MAL WASNT RAIDED.
A legal search warrant was delivered and enforced.
I think it is particularly important to avoid this “raid” language because in a recent link here from TPM to another reporting service they were quoting feral Charlie Kirk and some other Christian radicalists advocating for “raids” on all kinds of agencies and organizations by states’ AG offices as retribution for the so-called raid on MAL. The Civil War strategy.
