Immediately came to my mind, a split second later, there is your response. I am hoping he becomes so poor he will have to dive through dumpsters to feed.
I can name dozens in congress that will proudly dive for him.

Got a shock. "Hey, there's a short on the socket!"

"Lemme see that!"

"I wanna see!"

"That can't be, here lemme look at it!"

"You did it all wrong, see?"

Fortunately no one had a weak heart. At least 8 or so zaps.

Dirty Donald never gets his own hands dirty, he gets his brain-dead minions to do his dirty work for him. He does the same with his army of attorneys for his shady business deals. Then Dirty Donald goes home, sits on his gold plated crapper, and tweets more "suggestions" for his dumb, dumb, dumb cult members to carry out. Oh, and don't forget to contribute, because the liberals are trying to silence your voice!

King Con is very good at controlling you morons.

That he walks away relatively unscathed. He is basically like Charles Manson, without the prison sentence. I am still not giving up hope that karma will finally come back to bite him in the ass in his lifetime. At least in my lifetime, as I would like to be around to see it, and my chances are a lot better than his.

How could you ever, even for one second, think that Trump would have your back? When has he EVER taken any responsibility for anything? Why would you give loyalty to someone who has no concept of what loyalty is?

He’ll be sleeping like a baby on silken sheets while you’re sharing a cell with a rusty toilet.

And he won’t spare a thought for you, because you don’t matter.

You had your fun. Guess nobody told you those who play must pay.

It was apparent in the various associations of that misadminstration. It was all so blatant - as far as we know - and so obviously exploitative, even though the various groups were getting paid off in what they saw as legitimacy and a feeling of being part of the power structure.

And now the exploited have realized that getting what you want can sometimes be the last thing you should want. Hell hath no fury like a bigot scorned.

He told you what you wanted to hear. There are plenty of MAGATs who didn't travel to Washington that day and there were people in that crowd who didn't march to the Capital. You were looking for a fight - you just didn't think you could lose.

There are plenty of Republican Nazis I'd like to see executed for treason and sedition, starting with Trump, but you don't see me trying to take the law into my own hands.

It took 1 lawsuit to install Bush - you wouldn't listen after more than 60 because you didn't want to listen! You want to live in a country where yours and Trump's disgusting ideology reigns supreme.

Bite me, you Nazi scum.

He's a con man. For con men, the only worthwhile relationships are with marks. If you are not a mark, they avoid you; you're irrelevant to their needs. If they can't con you and can't avoid you -- e.g. Candidate Trump and the press -- then they try their best to destroy you.
