How many "points" he got with MTG while out on the road...

I mean, they're "family value" repubs, so you know it happened... 🤮

We all know what "family" means for repuglicons. Cover it up, lie, deny, if necessary - talk to your 'pastor'.

I’m guessing they used all the money on private jets, suites in first class hotels, and meals at grande restaurants while doing the tough work of destroying democracy an the justice system. I bet the toasted the rubes who paid for it all with great champagne

They're spending most of it on political consultants and fundraising companies. So they say.

Empty Greene spent $1 million to bring in $1.5 million. Her campaign manager and "consultant", a Mr. Wortman, pockets most of what she takes in. Yeah, sure he does. How much of that money is being kicked back right into Empty Greene's bank account?

They sat at the right hand of the biggest political grifter in history, Donald Trump. It seems he taught them well.

Maybe this will tell these two idiots that their antics aren't really doing them or anyone else any favors.

I recall a time when EVERYONE thought his days were numbered before he would be indicted.

Now we've moved on to thinking the folks defying subpoenas are going to get charged. LOL.

Next month, we'll be on to someone else, that WON'T be arrested.

No doubt MTG will break out her book of claptrap to find some new garbage to stir up her followers who will feel justified sending her a few dollars more.

They originally cooked the books upward so they could report their income as proof of their clout.
I'm guessing they never raised the kind of money claimed and typical travel expenses are overwhelming inflow.
I know our instinct makes us think grift, but they're also confirmed liars.
And lying about their fund raising success is hardly beyond them.

To push for more stimulus money. MAGA’S have already spent all theirs of trump shit. Thom Hartmann donated minimal years ago to get on mailing list. Trump sends a dozen emails a day begging for cash and selling shit. Those people have lips under their chin to suck the bottom scum, just like the fish. Trailer Queen and Matty the mattress flipper are blowing through that money as well as that of their constituents in salaries and travel. While doing not a damn thing for them.

With their unchecked power and unlimited cash they have molded the “Job” into just that.
Highly paid puppets of billionaires with amazing benefits. K Senema is the poster child of how screwed up it is.
