        American voters however are even dumber, so now USA is governed by a German Nazi descendant, controlled by Russia and a South African white supremacist!

        Who is more stupid, the idiot or the ones following the idiot?
        USA as a country has gone insane.

    Because Trump took all of their war chest money for the election and put it in his pocket. And they still support him.

    Is this his way to make sure that his companies are bailed out when the bubble bursts? They’re all a mess right now and bubble bursting, bond rates going up, and debt called in will sink them in the blink of an eye.

    only because trump was stealing from gop campaign funds, Laura trump holds the key to the war chest of RNC funds partially, thats why they are relying more heavily on billionaire private donors.

    So, I’ve started to wonder, where does this money go? Like TV stations, billboards, whoever prints out mailers and posters etc?

      Primarily ad spots on TV, yeah. Radio and mailers are small fries by comparison. It’s no wonder all of corporate media is wholly complicit in the corruption - their paychecks depend upon it!

      Comcast, Nexstar Media Group, etc.

      Probably a fair bit to municipalities.

      I’m actually not sure who the major campaign ad printer an postermaking companies are in the usa.

      From what I can tell very lazily written ads about trans people. I’m not sure it’s helping because it’s not messaging, it’s just bombarding the airwaves with propaganda.

    Walmart is helping too, and I’m sure those tariff refunds were well received by Amazon, Google, and Apple. Trump announce a Trip to Beijing soon to meet with Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin so obviously TikTok’s gonna be all in on his ass, too.

    A fool and his money soon parted. No faster way to make a fool than to surround yourself with yes men and descend into narcissism.
