Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

The pictures Jared and Ivanka found are very effective at ensuring Graham stays firmly on his leash.

And this is all in service of attacking that old treasonous lich, McConnell. So I say:

I present - Donald Trump's "please clap" moment.

Trump Mocked For Embarrassing 'Please Clap' Moment At His Own Resort

The former president seemed to need some adulation at Mar-a-Lago.

That would be more satisfying if he was self-aware enough to realize that that was a "please clap" moment. But Narcissus demanded applause and received it, so in his mind there's no embarrassment to be had.

This is why he's constantly asking me for validation.

That's the nicest thing he's ever said about Eric.

 

[wonko the sane?]

And at least someone will finally give him a hug.

Was it swear filtered? Am I just a sarcastic ass? Even I don't know!!!

 

[NovaSaber]

Zero hugs given.

Trump's basically poison to the GOP at this point and they're only now just starting to realize it. He's literally been killing the party base since the pandemic started.

I wouldn't be surprised if the GOP has some major losses in 2024 despite the gerrymandering and Jim Crow bullshit, because a good chunk of their base will be dead.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Amazingly: the gop itself, and everything it stands for and does is poison. Trump was just the fascist catalyst that helped speed the whole thing up. They would have been right here; pointless, hateful and fading into obscurity, within a decade regardless of whom they supported. Their base has been shrinking since the 80's, it's kind of what happens when you don't actually govern or have thoughts. But more than that; conservatism as a concept will always eventually fail because it itself refuses to change and adjust and that's literally all populations DO over time.

 

[Ironbite4]

Yeah but until then, the GOP is going to ensure the rest of us suffer.

Ironbite-it's not that the GOP is dying, it's not dying fast enough.

 

[wonko the sane?]

Well, yeah, that's a given. One of the artifacts of the GOP has always been "the suffering is the point".

Trump's accounting firm drops him and declares the last ten years of financial disclosures to be bullshit. So, uh, can Trump go to jail now?!?

Accounting Firm Drops Trump Org As Client Amid New York AG’s Investigation

The former president's longtime accountants at Mazars USA told the Trump business on Feb. 9 that its financial statements "should no longer be relied upon."

[Ironbite4]

He stopped paying them "Lie to the government money" and they dropped him like a bad habit.

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

More like he stopped paying them at all.

 

[wonko the sane?]

I'm surprised he ever payed them to begin with.

 

[Spin-Out]

trump pulled a goddamn watergate, lolol

this actually has a solid chance of being what seals his fate, given the stuff he's said about it. if anything buries him, this is the most likely thing.

 

[KidTDragon]

Great. Let me know if it happens.
