Grifters gotta grift! Think of the MAGA suckers and losers giving the sociopath their money. Former president Donald Trump’s political PAC raised roughly $75 million in the first half of this year as he trumpeted the false notion that the 2020 election was stolen from him, but the group has not devoted funds to help finance the ongoing ballot review in Arizona or to push for similar endeavors in other states, according to people familiar with the finances. Instead, the Save America leadership PAC — which has few limits on how it can spend its money — has paid for some of the former president’s travel, legal costs and staff, along with other expenses, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of the anonymity to describe the group’s inner workings. The PAC has held onto much of its cash. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-pac-ballot-reviews/2021/07/22/d451fcaa-e596-11eb-934f-7e6c1927f261_story.html?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook

"He's sacrificed so much"
One of the major reasons Trump can get away with conning the Republican base over and over is the fact the Conservative media is totally ok with him fleecing their viewers. Heck, they even are happy to help by making excuses as to why it's ok.

Grifter and family losing in 2nd Circuit. “We … are excited to resume discovery in this important case about a years-long consumer fraud on hard working Americans perpetrated by Donald Trump and three of his adult children,” Kaplan said in a statement. “We have pending subpoenas out to ACN and MGM and look forward to receiving the documents and Celebrity Apprentice tapes responsive to those subpoenas. And we similarly intend to press the Trumps to complete their document production so that we can begin taking depositions as soon as possible.” www.politico.com/news/2021/07/28/appeals-court-donald-trump-fraud-suit-501337

elvado What we've seen from the former President and the party overall since the election is 100x's worse than a bunch of young people engaging in peaceful protests after the 2016 election, right?? I'm just wondering because you used to have clever names to describe those folks and conservatives love to say this current generation isn't built likr the lastones.

This doesn’t even qualify as news. We all knew he did this. Just imagine the most corrupt things a president could do and Trump did those things, without question.

Grifters gotta grift. That's just what they do. Save America, the leadership PAC where former president Donald Trump is asking loyalists to direct their political contributions, paid for lodging about two dozen times in the first six months of 2021. Nine of those times, the payments went to properties owned by the former president, according to a filing made public on Saturday. All told, the PAC sent at least $68,000 to the Trump Hotel Collection, showing how the real estate mogul — long after ending his presidential campaign and leaving office — continues to use donor money at his own properties. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/08/01/trump-pacs-hotels-spending/?itid=hp_politics

LTCOL Vindman's account of the traitorous disgraced twice-impeached leader of the "Republican" Cult/ Party and Zelensky phone call. Unless you're in the Cheney-Kinzinger wing of the former GOP (a wing of two) you're no better than your morally bankrupt cult leader. The president began rolling out an outlandish, discredited conspiracy theory that Giuliani had recently been promoting publicly. According to this theory, the 2016 hacking of the Democratic National Committee email server had been directed not by the government of Russia, as all U.S. intelligence had shown, but by some rich Ukrainian. The president told Zelensky that he’d like him to look into the matter. To that end, he asked Zelensky to cooperate with the U.S. attorney general, William Barr. The president also blamed actors in Ukraine for Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Trump’s possible abuse of power and suggested that Zelensky could improve his country’s relationship with the United States by pursuing and proving this bizarre conspiracy. on.theatln.tc/W2vq5eo

Poor little desperate sociopath. . . “There is no evidence of any wrongdoing here and I object to the release of the returns not only on behalf of my client but on behalf of all future holders of the office of the president of the United States,” Fischetti said in statement. He added that “this politicization and harassment of Mr. Trump is uncalled for and outrageous” and that he had “never seen anything like this.” It was a short statement, but it managed to expose what amounts to four holes in Trump’s defense. www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/08/04/trump-tax-returns-ronald-fischetti-congress/BTW, Fischetti is ancient. not that it necessarily reflects upon his competence. Just saying . . . 😁 (In case anyone was wondering, Fischetti's former partner Pomerantz is 70). The Trump Organization has hired Ronald Fischetti, an experienced New York criminal-defense attorney, to represent it in Manhattan prosecutors’ investigation into the business dealings of the former president and his company. Mr. Fischetti, 84 years old, is a former law partner of Mark Pomerantz, the former federal prosecutor working on the investigation for the office of Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. Mr. Pomerantz was sworn in as a special assistant district attorney in February and is now on leave from his law firm.

The sociopath's corruption outlives his own regime through his Postmaster General's self-dealing. The U.S. Postal Service will pay $120 million over the next five years to a major logistics contractor that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy previously helped lead and with which his family maintains financial ties, according to DeJoy’s financial disclosure statements. www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/08/06/usps-dejoy-xpo-logistics/

The most corrupt President and regime in American history. Opinion by Michael Gerson Columnist August 5, 2021 at 3:59 p.m. EDT The news that Donald Trump’s old friend, fundraiser and head of his 2016 inaugural committee, Thomas J. Barrack, has been indicted on charges of failing to register as a foreign agent and lying to the FBI may not figure large in the vast universe of post-Trump-administration corruption inquiries. But the case has interested me for a specific reason. If you read the indictment (or material previously revealed by the House Oversight Committee), you see Barrack’s first big test as a conduit for the United Arab Emirates concerned the Trump campaign speechwriting process in May 2016. According to the indictment, Barrack sent a draft copy of a Trump energy policy speech, through a co-defendant, to a UAE official asking for feedback. Barrack received a text message with proposed language from the UAE praising the de facto ruler of the nation, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed. Later that day, according to the indictment, Barrack sent back his revised draft of the speech, including the UAE input. Barrack heard from his associate: “They loved it so much! This is great!” Barrack sent along his UAE-approved text to the Trump campaign. Zayed’s name was eventually removed, but the speech ended with a pledge “to work with our Gulf allies.” (Material from the Oversight Committee added the detail that Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, sent an email to Barrack confirming that the speech “has the language you want.”) Barrack received an email from a UAE official after the speech was delivered: “Congrats on the great job Barrack has pleaded not guilty. This pat on the back, this attaboy, from a foreign government on a major campaign speech — as with so many things in the history of Trump-era corruption — is not normal. Not within the same Zip code, the same hemisphere, as normal. The indictment goes on to detail a number of more serious charges against Barrack: obtaining information about foreign policy appointments and decision-making, acting as a back channel to the campaign, and promoting UAE foreign policy views. But sharing a presidential campaign energy speech with the government of the seventh-leading oil producer in the world, and finding a receptive audience for their input within a campaign, is a signal that corruption within the Trump inner circle was not only permitted but also assumed. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/08/05/barrack-indictment-shows-trump-made-america-vulnerable/?itid=hp_opinions
