      Always has been. He’s just trying to make his own gas station bathroom version of the extant MLM with his face all over it.

      The people who are so hate-crazed they’ll follow MAGA no matter what deserve him. The willfully uneducated voting against their own interests deserve him. The people who make “always vote ‘R’ on ballots, no matter how bad the candidate is” a personality trait deserve him.

      The rest of us don’t. We need election reform, to abolish the Electoral College and gerrymandering, and fight against Minority Rule.

        Yep. He’s neoliberal and appropriately greedy and psychopathic about it, so he gets their rubber stamp of approval. He’s even good for soaking up blame, misdirecting attention and drawing people into a cult where believing blatantly untrue things is how you show your faith.

        If he slipped and fell and woke up a progressive, they’d tear him apart with a class solidarity we can only dream of.

    Trump’s co-campaign managers, Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, requested a split of “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC…”

    Yes, yes, “Joint Fundraising Committee,” but I prefer “Trump National Committee? Jesus Fuckin’ Christ.

    Beautiful, love how the lesser running Republicans are just getting screwed. First Donny empties their campaign coffers to cover his lawyers, and then has the gall to demand they pay him while they fundraise on scraps. I really hope they all get ousted into oblivion… Render unto Caesar, muthafukasss…

    But I knew Donnie, he had the money, it was his. I mean I know he kicked some of it upstairs to Vladie but that was it
