These greedy MFers just want to be the American equivalents to the Grifter as the morally bankrupt Russian oligarchs are to Putin. Disgusting. Many GOP billionaires balked at Jan. 6. They’re coming back to Trump. As hopes of a Republican alternative have crumbled, elite donors who once balked at Trump’s fueling of the Capitol insurrection, worried about his legal problems and decried what they saw as his chaotic presidency are rediscovering their affinity for the former president — even as he praises and vows to free Jan. 6 defendants, promises mass deportations and faces 88 felony charges. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/29/trump-billionaires-gop-donors/

This is all so draining. Elvado (or others), do you have a bridge too far? Is it 95 felony charges so 91 is all good? You're sticking with the (lie), "I'm writing in" my vote? If so, have at it. At what point do you folks start rebuking the death of your former party and find your collective backbone to make a stand? If it's not now, when? I can only surmise that the answer is never since your former party doesn't actually stand for any of the things you folks say you support. Fiscal conservatism? No. Family values? Nope. Is it just the authoritarianism, xenophobia and racism that you like? Or, do you only like one or two of those things? Your exceedingly tenuous grasping to the Biden mental capacity or truthfulness part is hilarious and pathetically transparent. *Edit: Elvado, I don't mean to target you specifically. But, sadly, you're the only poster that seems to respond from the Right (RIP, EasyEd). FWIW, I respect that you do even if, at times, I vehemently disagree with your views. Please continue to post even if it seems as though you're peeing into the wind. happyhoya says hello.

I wonder why "Republicans" think depriving Americans of health insurance is a good thing. If you think it's a good thing, sure, go ahead and vote for the rapist/fraudster Grifter and his sycophants. President Biden and top Democrats have spent weeks mounting a full-scale blitz to tout the Affordable Care Act, including ads, social media posts, speeches — and a video that blasts rival Donald Trump for “running to ‘terminate’ the ACA.” Trump — who as president pushed to kill the law and last November reiterated that he wants to “replace” it — has angrily countered on social media that Biden “DISINFORMATES AND MISINFORMATES ALL THE TIME,” and that all Trump wants to do is make the 14-year-old law better. Biden’s celebration and Trump’s grudging acceptance of the ACA underline a striking reality: a law once derided as “Obamacare” and demonized as a big government power grab is becoming a politically untouchable part of the American safety net, like Social Security and Medicare before it. Just 33 percent of Americans held favorable views of the ACA in November 2013, weeks after the infamous crash of the Healthcare.gov website intended to let Americans sign up for private health insurance through the law, according to KFF, a nonpartisan health research organization. But when Trump and his Republican allies nearly repealed the ACA — falling one senator short in July 2017 — it sparked passionate efforts to defend it and catalyzed new, long-lasting support. Today, 59 percent of Americans hold favorable views of the law, according to KFF.www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/03/30/democrats-aca-obamacare-popular-trump-repeal/

MAGA GOP calls them "donors" when they are, in fact, suckers and morons - the same people who gave money to Jimmy Swaggart, Oral Roberts, Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. The Grifter is just another morally bankrupt televangelist feeding on the gullibility of "Christian" Evangelicals. Keep praying to Orange "Jesus", morons. In the years after Donald Trump lost the presidency to Joe Biden, Trump sent so many emails and text messages asking for money that Republican consultants warned his mailing lists could become useless. The former president’s friends told him that they were being asked for too much, too often, and Trump himself ordered aides at one point to slow the solicitations. Some of his fans, pockets emptied, mailed handwritten letters apologizing for not being able to give more. “The biggest problem in GOP fundraising is that we don’t treat donors well,” said John Hall, a Republican small-dollar fundraiser who runs the digital firm Apex Strategies. “Sending eight emails and texts a day that promise an artificial match, threaten to take away your GOP membership, or call you a traitor if you don’t donate doesn’t build a long-term relationship with donors.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/01/trump-republican-small-donations-problems/White evangelicals find themselves in a paradoxical moment, as their overall share of the U.S. population steadily declines. They wield outsized power in American politics because of their grip on the Republican Party. But two long-term trends have resulted in waning numbers and cultural influence for white evangelicals: increasing racial diversity, at the same time that Americans as a whole are becoming less religious. At the same time, Latino evangelical communities appear to be growing, a trend driven in part by immigration patterns. www.npr.org/2024/01/21/1225860255/evangelical-voters-trump-2024

Isn't Trump worse than Jimmy, Jim and Tammy Faye? They may have been con artists, but they at least had some devotion to the Bible, didn't they? Unlike Trump. He's certainly worse than Oral Roberts, who has a legitimate college named for him (see Trump University).

My post is more to compare the donors to televangelist grifters not so much as to compare the televangelist grifters themselves to the Grifter-in- Chief.. If you were to draw a Venn diagram of those who are gullible enough to give to the televangelists and the donors to the Grifter-in-Chief, it may resemble a circle.

Still a longshot given the number of knuckledragging mouthbreathing MAGA cultists who reside in Florida. Florida’s conservative Supreme Court ruled Monday that the state’s constitution does not protect abortion rights, allowing one of the country’s strictest and most far-reaching abortion bans to take effect May 1. But in a separate decision, the high court also ruled that an amendment to enshrine abortion rights in the state’s constitution can go on the November ballot, for a vote that could undo the ban in a matter of months. Together, the two rulings will ensure that abortion is a major issue in Florida during the presidential election — with Floridians experiencing the realities of a six-week abortion ban for six months before they have the opportunity to cast a vote on the issue. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/04/01/abortion-florida-supreme-court-ballot/In a matter of minutes yesterday, a decision by Florida’s top court gave Democrats a much-needed shot of energy in a state that has been out of reach for them in recent elections. In one striking ruling, the Florida Supreme Court decided a six-week abortion ban can go into effect on May 1 — strictly limiting abortion access in the third-most populous state — and said an initiative to codify abortion rights can be on the November ballot. The decision could boost Democrats up and down the ballot by putting abortion front-and-center, but it’s still a tall task to put the former swing state back on the map for Democrats. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/02/democrats-eye-florida-after-abortion-ruling/

Grifter continues his lies. Trump said he spoke to murder victim’s family. The victim’s sister said it never happened. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Donald Trump used his campaign event in Michigan on Tuesday to denounce what he called “Biden’s border bloodbath,” zeroing in on the case of a young woman killed by someone immigration officials say had entered the country illegally. “She lit up that room, and I’ve heard that from so many people,” Trump said at a news conference in the hometown of the 25-year-old victim, Ruby Garcia. “I spoke to some of her family.” But Garcia’s sister, acting as a family spokeswoman, said Tuesday that Trump and his campaign have not contacted her or other immediate relatives — and rebuked the GOP presidential nominee’s effort to make the case part of his calls for a border crackdown. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/02/trump-ruby-garcia-michigan-murder/
