Grifters gonna grift, right Paul?
Hah! If people are sending them money, it's not with a promise of having something sent back.
A grift is when you think Trump University will teach you something...especially if you weren't part of the settlement.
I'm gonna guess you know the difference.
Now I get it. You get your news from an alcoholic, drug addicted, conspiracy theorist who got kicked off fox.Quote:

"One of the most impressively successful grifts in US politics in years: a bunch of failed, washed-up, discredited GOP lifers — many responsible for some of the worst sleaze of the Bush/Cheney era — re-branded themselves as #Resistance liberals and made themselves rich off them," The Intercept editor Glenn Greenwald reacted.
Curious...who were some of these disgraced neocons?
You've still got the sleaze of Bush 1 back at the DOJ.
There's grift...and then there's Grift.
Have no idea why people have enabled him all these years. (Read the niece's book)
But he is a master con man, I'll give him that.

Yes, he is. He announced his presidency by descending an escalator in a gold plated building and somehow made a base of working class people say "YES! THIS MAN UNDERSTANDS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ME!!" I mean...you really do have to give him credit for being able to do that!Quote:

I mean, there are probably still Bengals fans out there that think the team is gonna be good some day.
You clearly don't understand Trump. He is so pure and uncorrupt that all these disgraced career politicians are speaking out against him because he threatens their web of corruption. People that have dedicated their lives to honorable service of the Country like James Mattis and John Kelly are slimy swamp dwellers now, since they dared to speak out against Trump. There can only be Trump, and we must all trust in Trump. Amen.Quote:
