I’m unsure about this. On the one hand, saying the things she said could be enough to get a lot of people fired; on the other, I’m not sure if that’s a good thing. But I suspect it’ll end up being like Charlie Sheen - it wasn’t just him saying shitty things, he was unpleasant to work with. If she’s saying this stuff in public after being warned then she might well be a total arsehole on set. Her character was good, and she played it well - she wasn’t a throwaway actress playing any old role. It was really nice seeing a woman kick arse and look like they could kick arse. Gyrate, I don’t think there’s actually that much of a difference in tone. I mean, they stated their legal position - they have no current contracts with her - but, if they supported her, they might have been a little less bald in their statement. “We look forward to working with her in the future” is the sort of thing often used for actors with drug problems - and sometimes it’s even true. ---

Lara Trump is the wife of Eric Trump, and a toxic bleached blonde conservative woman, almost indistinguishable from Kayleigh McEnemy. At some point during the campaign season, it was revealed that she and Don Jr’s girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, were each receiving $15,000.00 a month payments, laundered through an outside firm to avoid reporting requirements. > **[Trump campaign accused of masking $170 million in spending](https://www.cnbc.com/2020/07/28/complaint-accuses-trump-campaign-of-masking-170-million-in-spending.html)** > > President Donald Trump's reelection campaign violated the law by masking millions in spending, a nonprofit democracy group alleged in a complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission on Tuesday. And she’s making noise about running for Richard Burr’s NC Senate seat. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > You know conservatives have no real principles and they only care about free markets because they generally work in their favor. They absolutely do not. Conservatives are no more supportive of free markets and capitalism than liberals are; they are 100% behind any government spending, support, or market intervention that helps them. Conservatives who are sufficiently educated to know what those words mean SAY they’re all for free markets, but really aren’t. Low-information conservatives aren’t really aware of what those terms mean or about anything to do with economics. ---

> [@Ann\_Hedonia](#): > > If we hire Republicans to work for our profitable well run businesses, they might be stupid enough to fall for stupid shit like that with company money. And I expect that’s why, despite comprising half the population, Republicans have approximately 0% of the disposable income purchasing power in the mainstream economy. They’re all so goddammed _stupid_ they lose every penny they don’t need to literally not starve to grifts like Trump pee vitamins or Alex Jones emergency food buckets, You’re forgetting that there’s two kinds of Republicans - there’s the ones that have been and continue to be rubes to the great orange semi-cogent Cheeto, then there’s the astute businessmen who also prey on them and would like some time to become like the great orange semi-cogent Cheeto. There’s a butt-load of Republicans out there with money - they’re the ones short-selling GameStop (and pleading with the government to cover their losses on their personal grift), or preaching the Prosperity Gospel (proof that there is no God - Jim Bakker hasn’t been struck by lightning and is still preaching), or losing money on oil in Texas and still being elected President or… Remember - for every Buffet, there’s a Koch. (not initially intended, but worked out) There’s a shit-ton of money on the right, and they prefer to invest it to make more money, that’s how we end up with the CFSG. ---
