The first time I heard Trump say that he would pay for the ballroom with help from donors, I didn't think the thing would really get built at all, but that if this worked out at least he could skip a potential political fight about funding it.
But look it. The building would have cost us less than $1 apiece to be taxpayer funded and now I'm not sure what it will actually cost us. When the project is actually started and ongoing with Trump pledging to pay whatever donors don't and Congress not having budgeted a cent for it, every donor is essentially reimbursing Trump's pledge. One of those donors was Alphabet who just settled a lawsuit he brought against them in 2021. One is Micron who had a $6 billion federal grant approved by Biden that Trump initially held up but has let through. Are we eventually going to find out that every individual and company on the donor list leveraged a donation to Trump's pocket into a larger sum from Federal funds?

Why are you asking a rhetorical question?
You're really not sure?
New covfefe just dropped. Already deleted, of course, but the internet never forgets.
Clots and prayers.
A bouquet of free mcdonalds coupons is being emergency dropped at the white house.
Brace yourself for some timely comedy courtesy of the official White House website!
Nothing shows how in touch you are like parodying a website that no one's visited in twenty years. Fer Christ's sake, "Safe Spacebook" was right there.

I hadn’t even thought about MySpace existing in something like eighteen years. They’re so full of “how do you do, fellow kids” energy (well, lethargy rather than energy, really).
It's also greatly limiting your audience when your act is nothing but making fun of people for not being rich straight white cis Christian men.
True.
Like, in the years its operated, I think I've seen 3 times they've actually hit on something funny and that can just be chocked up to blind squirrels finally finding a nut. There's just not anything funny about the current conservative outlook. It's all punching down and that's never a good note.
Never a good note... for mentally healthy, stable people.
But they've been at it for years and still haven't gone bankrupt. And no, morally bankrupt doesn't count. They obviously have just enough of an audience to continue to make it worth their time.

FB friend:
I also find it more than a little self defeating for him to be posting these rants on a social network for racist uncles. Like yeah no duh he's getting pushback on them; he's doing the digital equivalent of staging a one-man protest in the middle of rural Texas.
