...just sayin'.
Like it's been said, "grifters gotta grift."

[CentralMass]

[jeffreyi]

11. *This*

[KPN]

13. Exactly! And there be rubes nevertheless.

[L.Pharmstrong]

21. It's good for the economy

And it means less money for the Republican candidates for Georgia Senate runoffs. Have at it.

[aeromanKC]

4. Meanwhile Dems are sending money to Stacey Abrams

For the GA Runoffs!!

[Thekaspervote]

5. How is that going to change anything? They are filing frivolous law suits with no merit

[Fahrenthold451]

6. They are seeking $60 million

Because they want $60 million.

[Phoenix61]

7. Last chance for the big grift.

I’m sure he was counting on being able to skim the inauguration fund like he did in 2016.

[bluestarone]

8. 60 million to

fill their pockets more likely! The ones that donate are IDIOTS

[NoRoadUntravelled]

9. If they wouldn't have frivolously spent $Billion in campaign contributions they'd

have money left for their frivolous lawsuits.

10. Let me fix that headline

"RNC seeking to raise at least $60 million to fund Trump's last grift"

[Thomas Hurt]

12. How much is the Pig's personal take on this scam?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

14. Good for them. Takeout joints in Philadaelphia, Harrisburg, Atlanta, and Savannah need the money. NT

[Chakaconcarne]

15. I see... so that's what this is about.....

Getting more money from the gullible.

[bucolic_frolic]

16. Proof Trump's count-all-the-votes-for-democracy today is a RUSE and a SHAM

Don't believe a word Trump or the GOP says ... they will try to steal this in the Supreme Court.

It will not stand.

[Ziggysmom]

17. The same base that gives money to ministers with private jets

Can send their hard earned dollars to Trumpy.

19. Welcome to DU, Ziggysmom!

You're right! They should! They're not supposed to be building kingdoms here on earth. That's not what Jesus endorsed.

[mr_lebowski]

29. Think any of THOSE dudes are sending Trump any part of his $60M?

Of course not.

They know a con when they see one.

[SergeStorms]

18. So that's why they're waiting to concede.

As soon as they get the money they'll concede the election and then they'll give Donny a nice $60 million "parting gift". Watch.

[QED]

20. A fool and their money....

[Pantagruel]

22. Lies

Remember when he said you could trust him as a self financing billionaire?

[Cryptoad]

23. OK all u cult members,,,,,

[keithbvadu2]

24. With half of it going to pay their debts, not legal fees?

With half of it going to pay their debts, not legal fees?

[PoliticAverse]

25. ...

[Ford_Prefect]

26. It's the seed money to start the new Trump TV Network: Q-Anonavision.

[Earthshine2]

28. That's about what they stole from the Trump inaugural fund.

They blamed the theft on Melania's friend (the one who wrote the book Melania and Me).

They're not done ripping off their donors.

[mr_lebowski]

30. I actually expect we'll soon hear this effort was a miserable failure ...

They're gonna raise like 600 bucks.

Gofundme to fleece Cult45 will be the next move. That'll probably raise some dough actually.

[onetexan]

31. Fundraising ploy to increase the RNC's coffers. The poor naive rabid base will again be suckered.

[applegrove]

32. To pay off debt from the election it says in the tiny print most likely. n/t
