Whoa, are you trying to tell me that the awful guy who actively preyed on people's fears and insecurities while furthering dangerous assumptions and stereotypes was actually a self-serving grifter this whole time and not a real champion of personal freedom?
:surprisedpikachu:
He championed his own personal freedom to spend the money on himself. Honestly I think he should have spent more on it that way and less on buying lawmakers and TV ads.
The only way to stop a bad guy with an embezzlement is a good guy with a forensic accountant.
What are some good ways to grift idiot conservatives that don’t harm everyone else? It seems like such an easy way to get rich and everyone’s doing it. Asking for a friend. Also I don’t want to be caught.
Just sell them a gimmick like Trump Bucks. They're morons and won't realize the lack of value until after they bought an obvious memorabilia scam.
The hard part is convincing them you're as dumb as they are.
My friend is asking me if there is a sign up sheet for this endeavor
There iiiiisssss.......for a low one time payment of $420.69
This guy and the NRA have a lot of blood on their hands. Any money headed that way is misspent and dangerous.
Nah the number is too low, he "misspent" wayyyy more than that on himself and his cronies.
I
Good but it should have been way more.
Wow! Someone in a position of power abused it for their own personal gain.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy from stealing money is a good guy stealing the money first.
