Inside sources in the GOP are seriously peeved that President Donald Trump and his family can’t stop concentrating on enriching themselves long enough to get Republicans through the November midterms.

Trump and Republicans are at risk in the upcoming midterm elections, due in no small part to regret from his own supporters, and even many Republicans who continue supporting him feel as if they are “walking the plank” on his behalf. Yet according to a recent report, Trump continues to focus on money-making projects instead of shoring up support from American voters — a fact that is worrying many of his fellow Republican politicians.

    People who enabled a dementia-ridden racist misogynistic pedophile fascist narcissist embezzler who thinks he’s above the law are trying to convince him to stop embezzling?

    Financial obesity is neurotoxic, an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

    Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

    Then fucking punish him! It’s unconstitutional what he’s doing. I bet it’d be a lot easier to get Republicans to win if they had a damn spine against this

    Well, you wouldn’t be walking the plank if you had made that pedophile, adjudicated rapist, 34-time convicted felon, narcissist, and sex pest walk the plank instead (and his family).

    They’re mentally ill. It would be hoarding if it were anything other than money. Instead, we called them “successful” for decades while they exploited workers, and still do.

    Remember when Hunter Biden, someone who didn’t even work for the federal government, was accused of enriching himself? Remember the reaction?

    Hypocrite fucks.

      Haha. They are still GRRRRR so mad about Hunter.

      I think it was Adam Mockler just recently debating some conservative chud and that guy brought up the “Hunter Biden laptop” and how the government put their thumb on the scales when it came to having that just run wild on the platforms of Facebook and Xitter, etc.

      They are still SO butthurt that their bullshit story about a hard-drive, excuse me, “laptop” was not the October Surprise that they meant it to be.

      You can tell that many of them probably literally cried about it at the time that Biden won despite the “laptop”. They seem to have emotional scars about it and they feel personally attacked that their ratfucking with the “laptop” didn’t work out. I bet some of these people - this guy was probably in his twenties - will still be talking about that stupid “laptop” 50 years from now.

    If anything, they are telling them to pause their grifting until the midterms. “Rich enough” is not a concept that can exist in a republican brain.

      Also, what Hunter is accused of is a rounding error compared to the towering amount of fraud donnie and his family are doing.

      But since he has the last name of “Biden” he should be punished just for being an obvious beta-cuck. And of course people like Marge were clearly obsessed with his dong.

        Well, the Bidens are Catholics so their anger is part of their upbringing. In England, they just call them Papists, but here in America, the protestants have gotten so wild, they breath condemnation…which makes me wonder about their ephemeral allegiances.

          Oh, that’s right, I forgot all about them being Catholic.

          I used to know a radical evangelical that would say all kinds of stuff I would just be dumbstruck by - one was that even though he was raised Catholic and most of his family was still Catholic, he not only thought Catholics were not “real” xtians, but that they were “pagans” (his word for pretty much every person not a Southern Baptist, including atheists and other xtians).

          Now, I happened to remember all the invective Jack Chick aimed at Catholics with his comics, but I never thought I’d hear an adult repeat this kind of thing.

          Also, I had recently read Robert Anton Wilson’s rather tongue-in-cheek comparison of Catholics to paganism, due to all the saints and so on…

          I did ask this particular individual if he thought he’d even know what xtianity was if it wasn’t for Catholicism…I don’t remember his answer. IIRC, it was utterly incoherent…
