Lord of the Rubes - The Brother Can You Spare A Dime Chapter

[japhy]

Wally, the dear leader needs your help, can you spare a little change?

Surely you afford to hand over some of the allowance your wealthy in-laws send you.

F-ing rubes deserve to to be swindled if they send money, much the same way that those who sent money to Jim and Tammy Fae Bakker are perpetrators, not victims

The theory now is that trump won't run in 2024. He won't put himself in a position to lose again. But he can continue to grift raise money through his PAC for the next 4 years and use the money for his personal expenses.

I love this idea.

Milk the rubes for ever penny you can Lord orange. They want and expect you to live a lavish lifestyle to confirm the nobility of their trust and support of you. They want to be bilked, you should oblige them.

This is peak vulture capitalism.

Remember when he was touted as a billionaire with a great business sense?

Now he's basically just doing high-end panhandling for money.

Pretty freaking easy to look it up...

The 1 about dems looking in the mirror (which, unsurprisingly, they did NOT do) and the 1 about it being an important moment for GOP leaders to speak out against trump (which, unsurprisingly, they did NOT do).

I like how the gop leaders are the ones ignoring the will of the people, but not the ones who need to look in the mirror

Who said they don't need to look in the mirror?

The thread was about them having an opportunity to do something positive and restore some of the credit they have lost the last 4 years. They missed that opportunity.


The Dems need to look in the mirror and assess why after 4 years of trump they still lost seats in the house and didn't gain control of the senate....and trump got a higher % of black women votes and % of black men votes than he did in 2016. Their agenda isn't as appealing to the people they're trying to appeal to as they think.

[ousdahl]

Those seem like valid points.

What parts of their agenda do you think are unappealing?

[Deleted User 89]

SOCIALISM!!

President Trump’s political operation has raised more than $150 million since Election Day, using a blizzard of misleading appeals about the election to shatter fundraising records set during the campaign, according to people with knowledge of the contributions.

The influx of political donations is one reason Trump and some allies are inclined to continue a legal onslaught and public affairs blitz focused on baseless claims of election fraud, even as their attempts have repeatedly failed in court and as key states continue to certify wins for President-elect Joe Biden.
Much of the money raised since the election is likely to go into an account for the president to use on political activities after he leaves office, while some of the contributions will go toward what’s left of the legal fight.

The people with knowledge of the fundraising amounts spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose internal numbers. The Trump campaign declined to comment.

The surge of donations is largely from small-dollar donors, campaign officials say, tapping into the president’s base of loyal and fervent donors who tend to contribute the most when they feel the president is under siege or facing unfair political attacks. The campaign has sent about 500 post-election fundraising pitches to donors, often with hyperbolic language about voter fraud and the like.
“I need you now more than ever,” says one recent email that claims to be from the president. “The Recount Results were BOGUS,” another email subject line reads.

“Our democracy and freedom is at risk like never before, which is why I’m reaching out to you now with an URGENT request,” reads an email to donors from Vice President Pence. “President Trump and I need our STRONGEST supporters, like YOU, to join the Election Defense Task Force. This group will be responsible for DEFENDING the Election from voter fraud, and we really need you to step up to the front lines of this battle.”


I have been out of town and out of internet for awhile.

Have they released the kraken yet?

If not, they have to feed the big bastard. I can only assume that kraken food is very expensive.

Please Wally, donate what you can. If not for trumplethinskin, then for the hungry kraken.

People are going hungry and dying in this country, yet here we have dumbasses donating millions of dollars to Dictator Don’s fake election fraud scheme.
