The party of
fiscal responsibilitydeadbeats, everyone. Let’s give 'em a round of applause!The Michigan GOP could pay off the debt "tomorrow if we chose to,” Copas said. But the bank has not provided the administration requested details about the loan, and “we’re not convinced it’s legitimate,” he said.
So a bunch of grifters that worship Donald Trump as a living god have decided to stop paying their debts… Gee, who could’ve seen this coming? They better make an example of the MIchigan GOP before this idea that the state political parties have no obligation to pay their debts starts spreading.
I’m uh, gonna register myself as a political party, now? Do some light laundry
So they are saying they don’t know if they took out a loan? Like, you either did or you didn’t. That’s going to be known and signed for.
Just garnish their wages like it’s done to the rest of us.
That thumbnail looks like Jordan Peele in a wig
lo fucking l
They’re going to have to get a repo man to take back all the elected GOP shitheads. I’m not sure how they’ll go about it.
They’d only repossess items of value.
We know the kidneys and livers are fucked, and there’s certainly no hearts, what’s left?
Hip joints?
I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don’t wanna know about it, believe me. I’ll get you a toe by this afternoon–with nail polish.
Just assholes
Send collections after them and have them declare chapter 7 bankruptcy. Get a judge to seize their assets. Rented properties, domain names, web servers, copiers, whatever they’ve got.
You know it’s pretty wild just how little money actually turns elections in the grand scheme of things, it’s just that national interest groups spend so much in totality that we hear constantly about big money in politics, when really the amount of money it takes to dwarf a candidate’s usual war chest is something you’re not even breaching into the 1% before someone who feels reasonably sure they could win might start seeing the sum as worth gambling in the “don’t bet what you can’t afford to lose” sense.
We just see so many big numbers because of the high profile races where people are dropping money like it’s a strip club out of spite for a hated incumbent or to troll the spite donors by keeping the incumbent funded enough to float.
Michigan GOP is in shambles because they elected the “outsider” MAGA candidates who had no fundraising experience, they immediately failed to fundraise enough, it got so bad that their flagship annual fundraiser was a fraction of its normal size.
Instead of pulling together to right the ship they…immediately turned to conspiracy theories, declared each other to be Deep State plants, and demanded the party leaders “open the books” to show how much money there really was, but party leaders refuse because it would prove how bad at fundraising they have been.
Detailed in a recent This American Life.
First PPP loans, now GOP loans, when are students getting free of loans?
I’m still livid all those loans were never paid back
Maybe a little less focus on immigrant bashing, and a little more on paying your fucking bills.
Even within their own party the conservatives will blame everything on the person who did the job before them. They’re too fucking stupid to understand that when they accept they position they lied and cheated to get that they have to deal with the existing problems in that position.
Oh, that’s brilliant. I’d missed that particular turn in the drama.
