Grift first, own Libs later. Greedy and mean, and often stupid. But mostly greedy.

I’m starting to think each and every one of them is a failed snake oil sales person.

“True the Vote”, and their ilk forget Trump cannot pardon them for being slimy lousy bastards using donations to line their own pockets.
Trump should write another book, “The Art of Fuck Your Donators”.

There’s something about these conservative activists that doesn’t sit quite right. Like maybe they’re corrupt and mean and backward and anti-democracy. Something along those lines.

I guess I’d be way more shocked if they were accused of using the money for anything legitimate at all.

My question is who are the dupes giving them this money?

That is the real problem is the suckers and not those who take them.

I mean if the money was not being embezzled it could be used to do some real harm. As it stands, these crooks could ask the fools to give them more to fend off these attacks from “the deep state” and I hope they get it.

That is in my view democracy is safer when the money to overthrow it is going to crooks.

Go to court.

One would think that’d be the last place they want to go.

These people probably sing Pirelli’s Miracle Elixir in the shower. Unironically.
