Key Points
- The presidential campaign of Donald Trump said it raised a record $34.8 million from small-dollar donors in the hours after his criminal hush money case conviction in New York.
- Trump was found guilty by a Manhattan Supreme Court jury of falsifying business records related to his scheme with Michael Cohen to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
- The Republican is set to face President Joe Biden in November’s election, in a rematch of their 2020 contest for the White House.
Honestly, good. Squeeze those stupid motherfuckers dry. Because when they’ve given everything they have to Trump and they get nothing in return except deeper into poverty, that’s when they will feel the pain they deserve.
But the depth of their devotion to someone who gives zero fucks about them is truly astounding.
I guess we didn’t learn from Nazis coming into power in Germany…
A significant portion of America supported the fucking Nazis so yeah, I think it’s clear we didn’t learn shit. Not even the stupid fuckers who saw it happen in front of their eyes.
And maybe the wrong people learned more about how to manipulate others.
No money for down ballots
There’s a lot of folks out there with tons of money that give plenty and won’t get anywhere close to poverty. Trump has a tectonic donor base that has money.
Creating desperate and angry people is generally not a good thing for anyone even if it might provide some temporary emotional satisfaction.
