FreedomWorks Is Closing -- And Blaming Trump

FreedomWorks, the once-swaggering conservative organization that helped turn tea party protesters into a national political force, is shutting down, according to its president, a casualty of the ideological split in a Republican Party dominated by former President Donald Trump.

“We’re dissolved,” said the group’s president, Adam Brandon. “It’s effective immediately.”

So long, good bye!!!

It all goes bad, rots, stinks, and becomes detestable when the deplorable apples are ignored, welcomed, and left by the bushel to remain in the basket.

because it means the crisis is passing and the right wing fever is starting to break.

The sickness will be with us for a while longer but this is one of the first signs we might eventually be on the mend.

Don't let the door smack ya, Brandon, and good luck finding a real job.

I went to their website and who did I see but Dick freakin' Armey. One of the sleaziest douchebags to ever squat in Congress. I laughed my ass off when he skated with millions in dumbfuck dollars! LOL
