How embarrassing for Republicans, that their party is being gutted from the inside by a poor, orange, dementia-ridden blow-hard. He's stealing from their coffers to pay his debts and killing off the RNC to make room for the Trump Party.
Really wonder how centrist Republicans feel about it. Abject horror? Or do you guys support it?
Gotta keep that unskilled nepo-baby train a-rollin'! Chooo chooooo
Goodbye RNC war chest! Hope you're prepared to lose congress!
I really hope this happens. But now I'm starting to remember why I got off of Lemmy for a couple weeks to improve my mental health. The cynicism in me is being curdled.
Fucking hell I'm so sick of hearing about him. My dad has turned fucking looney bin and thinks trump is some kind of saviour and praises him all the fucking time. And according to him somehow trump was preventing all the current armed conflicts and other shit and I honestly just want him to get assassinated or fall in a manhole full of h2s so I can finally get some peace. Other people in my city too, we aren't even American so stop fucking telling me you are going to vote for trump because you fucking can't
Once he does die, that party is going to be in shambles. They'll destroy each other trying to fill the void.
I hope so I was hoping this was going to happen when he got elected but apparently the republican party just seems to get eaten by whatever is the popular radical movement of the time.
I'm fine. She'll send all the money to pay her father in law's legal bills and bankrupt the party. This is a problem that will sort itself out.
"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed...and we will deserve it"
— Lindsey Graham (May 3, 2016)
Yet here we are 8 years later and absolutely nothing has improved.
They'll install him as their emperor soon enough.
As "God" foretold /s
Nothing like watching these morons burn their party to the ground. Who's ready to add some gasoline in November?
I hope enough people, in the right states, vote.
They literally can't burn themselves to the ground because there are only two parties to choose from. This is guarantees they'll retain power regardless of how terrible they get.
We thought they'd burned themselves to the ground after 2008, with the economy collapsing and two never-ending wars occurring courtesy of Bush, but then they came back with the Tea Party bullshit in 2010. In 2012, we thought they'd burned themselves to the ground running morons and failed half-term governors like Palin but then they held the house and took the senate in 2014. In 2016 we thought they'd burned themselves to the ground by nominating Trump, but then he won.
This will never end and the Republicans will always stay in office.
Do it! Give everything to that orange motherfucker. He's just going to give it away in lawsuits, so the only beneficiaries will be his victims. I'm fucking here for it.
the only beneficiaries will be his victims
He'll be using most of the funds in his closed circle economy of lawyers and lackies who are tasked with preventing his victims from receiving a penny. Those people then pay him and his expenses to keep him and themselves in power and ensure funds keep flowing. Not to mention the constant targeting of opposing parties for harassment by the people he has successfully radicalized.
His victims might get a few pennies, but almost definitely they'll get a whole world of death threats. "Give him everything" is the same short-sighted policy of appeasement they tried on one of his role models.
Reminds me of Hillary Clinton. She installed allies throughout the Democratic party to ensure that she got the nomination. Then had a disastrous run and screwed up the financing for other candidates.
Hopefully we'll see another disaster for the Republican party. Who was it that said that Trump would destroy the Republican party if allowed in?
Lindsey Graham, who went on to say that they would deserve it. He has, of course, knelt and kissed the ring ling since.
Iirc, Lindsey Graham. Republican voters tend to fall in line, whereas people voting Democrat do have those who vote their minds.
