The rubes are starting to run out of money.
They just don’t want to pay for exact same thing over and over and over…
Oh, I think they do want it. It’s like eating mac and cheese over and over and over. Comfort food.
It’s just that they are running out of money. And that’s what it’s all about at it’s heart; Syphoning money out of the pockets of the gullible.
Humm… 300 at say $125 a pop. 37 large. I would pay to watch the ‘speakers’ fight for that in a ring.
Now I’m getting some ideas… hmm.
Whoever survives on this island for one day will get the money. Buh Bye 
Did we already cover Trump’s entire schedule for 9/11? Boxing commentator. Speech to the “Moonies”. Brief surprise appearance to FDNY in what looks to be a basement.
Speaking of the Moonies, apparently they were one of the groups that had an outsized presence on 1/6.
Hadn’t heard that. Now I’m wondering about their presence in US military and law enforcement…

Remember that ‘politicians bilking the rubes via lies and flattery’ has a long-lived cousin: 'fundamentalist preachers bilking the rubes via lies and flattery.’
It may be new (or newish), since the Trump era, for people to send in money again and again and again and again to people in office or running for office (or pretending to run for office).
But it is certainly NOT new for people—and it’s pretty much the same people-–to send in money again and again and again and again to those who assure them they are Righteous and Victimized. TV preachers have been mining that vein for decades, and they use many of the same techniques that Donald and his ilk are now employing.
Very true. I suspect though that the well is starting to run dry, as there are now so many con artists (religious and political) tapping the identical folks again and again.
“I WILL GLADLY LIVE IN A CARDBOARD BOX UNDER THE FREEWAY FOR YOU MR. PRESIDENT AND ALSO BENNY HINN!!!1!!!”
I see. I guess when you take money from sycophants, it’s called syphoning.
Is that what elephants become when they don’t get vaccinated? Or put masks on their trunks?
“There’s a hole in daddy’s head where all the money goes…”
The implied analogy behind that John Prine lyrics switch (heroin addiction in the arm, ‘flattery and lies’ addiction in the head) seems pretty unimpeachable.
(Didn’t know we had those ‘notes’ emojis. They will fit in in a lot of places…

Oh, the candidate’s a dodger, yes, a well-known dodger,
Oh, the candidate’s a dodger, yes, and I’m a dodger too.
He’ll meet you and treat you and ask you for your vote,
But look out, boys, he’s a-dodgin’ for your vote.
We’re all a-dodgin’,
Dodgin’, dodgin’, dodgin’,
Oh, we’re all a-dodgin’ out the way through the world.
Oh, the lawyer, he’s a dodger, yes, a well-known dodger,
Oh, the lawyer, he’s a dodger, yes, and I’m a dodger, too.
He’ll plead your case and claim you for a friend,
But look out, boys, he’s easy for to bend.
We’re all a-dodgin’,
Dodgin’, dodgin’, dodgin’,
Oh, we’re all a-dodgin’ out the way through the world.
Oh, the preacher, he’s a dodger, yes, a well-known dodger,
Oh, the preacher, he’s a dodger, yes, and I’m a dodger, too.
He’ll preach the gospel and tell you of your crimes,
But look out, boys, he’s dodgin’ for your dimes.
We’re all a-dodgin’,
Dodgin’, dodgin’, dodgin’,
Oh, we’re all a-dodgin’ out the way through the world.
There are several more verses but those are the relevant ones
What are “dimes”?
But, yeah. The connections between swindlers of varied job-titles have been noted for centuries.
Hey, we just had us a recall election here.
And the recall FAILED!!! In your FACE, Larry Elder!!!
Larry Elder lost bigly.
Turns out if you ask Californians if they want to have a recall election they’ll say “Yeah, sure. Why not?”
But if you ask them if they want to replace the Democratic Governor with a Trumpster their all “No Fucking Way!”
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of MAGAts suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
kaylasdad99 marked himself SAFE from having a fucking Republican as governor.
