Whatever, Dems get a majority and can't pass much w/o orange, not enough votes to convict impeachment, will get blamed for spending time on the hearings and not fixing everything, '28 they go back to maga, tiktok and the rest spread the propaganda and they fall for it, it's how they do.
That one Dem yelled too,
Enthusiastically,
And lost election
This is OK because it's NOT Hunter Biden!
-LITERALLY Republicans!
Remember when Hunter Biden, someone who didn't even work for the federal government, was accused of enriching himself? Remember the reaction?
Hypocrite fucks.
If anything, they are telling them to pause their grifting until the midterms. "Rich enough" is not a concept that can exist in a republican brain.
Please, stop grifting to help us win. Republicans say to the Family of Grifters.
How come nobody ever tells him hes fucked enough kids?
Because that isn't a blocker for Republican voters evidently. Theyre all for a pedophile. They haven't once proven otherwise.
A GOP insider would never
I doubt this.
You don't get that rich by ever feeling like you have enough. They just always want more.
The idea is that Trump's corruption is SO obvious that the GOP is afraid they'll get whipped in the midterms. Trump is certainly attacking the election system hard enough to show he agrees on that part at least, if not the idea of being less greedy.
That's plausible.
They only look out for themselves.
Cruelty is the point for Trump and many Republicans. And even if many GOP had initially thought they could control Trump, they are sorely mistaken. They played fire and got burned. FAFO. People never learned from history when they thought an imbecilic fascist figure could be "controlled" by conservatives, from Hitler to Mussolini.
The only people the GOP has ever thought were rich enough
sources in the GOP are seriously peeved that President Donald Trump and his family can't stop concentrating on enriching themselves long enough to get Republicans through the November midterms.
The GOP caused this problem in the first place. They could have rejected Trump any time in the last decade, but they chose this path instead.
Reap what you have sewn.
sown.
Swoon.

Samsonite! I was way off!
He doesn't care what he has. He cares that anyone else has anything else.
the extra funny part of this: everyone who can even afford to be in the same room as Trump on any kind of regular basis, enough to tell him "stop grifting so much", is also more rich than they have any right to be, I can guarantee it.
Affordability has nothing to do with ones willingness to be in the same room as trump.
there are plenty of poor people that love trump but cannot afford to actually be in his social orbit, I'm talking about the people this article is actually talking about, the "panicked GOP insiders" who are likely also obscenely rich and prominent republicans.
Not for those people, but the president won't be in the same room as the poors without a selfish reason, you better believe it. They have nothing but contempt for their supporters that aren't rich.
I can guarantee it.
You don't have to guarantee it, it is inherent truth.
Did these dumbfucks think tiny-d donnie ever gave a shit about any of them or this country? He's all about himself.
HAHAHAHAH
Tell me you don’t understand the first fucking thing about the demented rapist.
...can't stop concentrating on enriching themselves long enough to get Republicans through the November midterms.
Yeah, I figured the title was bullshit. "Rich enough already" was never said. This is about Repuglicans losing seats.
"Stop stealing until we make sure we hold onto power then you can do whatever"
Lol, they really think the orange one's greed has bounds? They're stupider than I thought, and it was already pretty far down there.
This might be a good time to remind you all that a significant part of this wealth has been accumulated in the past two years. In fact, when NYS was going after his companies, and those big financial judgements came in, it was assumed he didn't have that much liquid cash on hand, and would have to liquidate some of his properties to pay it off.
But then not only did the judgement get reduced, and he got reelected, but he also found crypto. He stated his Trump coin only a few days before inauguration, and has made bank on it.
All this wealth is due primarily to fleecing his supporters into buying his meme coin.
Oh don't forget whatever bribes get laundered through it too
I don't think "found crypto" describes what you really mean, that he found a way to accept bribes and to use the bribe money to scam poor people.
All you have to do is release a new crypto coin, and have people bribe you with well-timed bribes to keep the price looking like it's going up. The people giving you bribes know it's just manipulation and that they'll lose everything, but to all of the normal MAGA investors with room temperature IQs, they see a good investment.
That way, you get to double dip on the bribe money. When the bribes slow down, the price will go down and those people you grifted will lose everything.
Also a good time to remember that wealth inequality in the US continues to grow and has grown over the past few decades. Well, closer to a century than not, so y'know, this is a huge issue.
You want to know one little measure of it? The new Grand Tour released with three new presenters. They did their first episode in the US looking at three US cars. The Mustang and the Corvette - but versions that qualify as supercars. Then one more US-made car that qualifies as a hypercar. Why are these being made? Because increasingly the US has people rich enough to buy them in enough quantity that the car manufacturers want that profit.
Our country is broken. We need to solve the issue of oligarchs in the US. They are already eating cake while we die in the streets and quietly in our homes.
Grifters don't just quit the game.
You’re never rich enough. Impossible.
Normal people can get rich enough. Narcissistic psychopaths, or the kind of people who tend to get rich, on the other hand...
I love the candour: "just stop grifting until your power is insuperable. Then, by all means, grift, grift, grift!"
Somehow this isn't an Onion headline. Somehow
Idiots should know there's no such thing as "enough" with these brain damaged parasites.
Obese leopards.
Like all parasites, they don't care. They'll kill the host alongside them.
Disgusting.
Nobody who accumulates wealth like that will ever be satisfied. Ever.
seriously peeved
HOLY SHIT GUYS, ANY MINUTE NOW, THEY ARE PEEVED!
If I had a broken and uncontrollable vacuum in my house, I would switch it off and unplug it. Just saying, Republicans...
The most obvious grifter in the world strikes again.
He's just in it for the love of the grift.
He's a shameless narcissist, and as such, won't be satisfied with being second place at anything. So long as there are people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Jensen Huang who are worth more, Trump will never stop grifting.
Lol unprecedented, what the fuck is this reality
Oh no, did the leopard eat their faces too? Who could have possibly seen this coming?
