Why can't his PAC pay for this? He doesn't even need that money for his own campaign, since asshat shouldn't be running for any office anyway and I doubt he has that many viable years left anyway.

    Why don't billionaires turn a slice of the world into a paradise, where they can live as a universally beloved hero and still live the most decadent live money can buy?

    Why don't they leave $5k tips everywhere they go, since they'd never run out? Why don't they invest their money to singlehandedly fund the development of wonderous new technologies?

    Billionaires don't spend their money. They beg, borrow, die. They live not as people, but as avatars of their own dragon hoards. They not like us

    Perhaps being a billionaire should be enough evidence of an underlying illness that they can be taken into a permanent care situation.

    Sure, but realistically billionaires as a community are the reason they are like they are. They're a group that only really socializes with other billionaires and lives their lives between home and 300 something hotels, resorts, and compounds across the world

    The real reason none of them ever break the mold and do something meaningfully good for humanity is each other - their whole social sphere is full of "peers" locked in a twisted game of comparison with each other

    Interestingly enough, there's actually some billionaires who live like actual people. They secretly live like normal people with the security of an endless safety net

    I wish but apparently his fucking parents lived into their 100's so we are stuck with him until he finishes destroying America.

    His father lived to be 93 and his mother 88.

    We'd be rid of his ass ALREADY if they hadn't used fucking convalescent plasma to save his bloated ass from COVID. He's going to get the best medical care money can buy for at least the next two years - it will take a miracle for us to be rid of him.

    "Make me!" is his usual practice for making any required payments. He'll make them spend a small fortune recovering the money and settle at a big reduction

    and even dropped a new ad on Tuesday.

    I feel like that should have been in the headline as well. Not only did he confirm he was committing crimes and wasn't sorry, he committed additional crimes just to rub it in.

    no one's going to do a goddamn thing about it, so why tf would he?

    I think more to the point, he never had repaid anyone ever in his life, did anyone think he actually would now?

    if he actually were somehow forced, he'd use that as an excuse to not send the $5K checks he's been promising, which were never going to happen anyway

    no, that doesn't make any sense either, but maga will still guzzle it down and beg for more

    We’ve learned they don’t actually care if they’re convinced of or even hear any rationalizations, detailed plans, excuses, or anything like it - they only care about hurting other people, even the ones they “love”, and not having their own lives inconvenienced or pained. The only thing that made them wince was expensive gas. Most don’t like forever wars, but it’s still acceptable to them if they get to hurt people they don’t like both abroad and at home.

    its fucking insane. maga will say "trump wrecked my business and made me go bankrupt and cut me out of healthcare, but i'd vote for him again anyway" because they're so afraid that the other party is going to force their kids to be gay/trans/communist and outlaw praying

    seriously considering starting a cult of my own, seeing how easily so many dumb fucks can be completely bamboozled, no matter how notorious of a fucking con man you are

    You are correct about this, and goddamn it's stupid. Imagine how non functional your brain needs to be to think someone is going to even encourage your kids to be trans, let alone force them to be. Like imagine thinking a teacher would get up in front of kids and say to them "you kids should try being trans". Imagine thinking that would really happen. Yes like two weirdos in all of history might do it. It's just the most idiotic fear I can imagine having. What it tells me is that they're fully convinced that if anyone just thinks about it too much they might be convinced they are trans or gay. Which means they think your feelings on these matters come from thoughts or ideas, not hormones or how your brain is wired at birth. Which tells me a lot of them are really, deeply afraid, that they themselves would become trans or gay if they just thought about it enough. Jesus Christ.
