So Republican candidates take any money from anywhere; every big: big oil, big pharma, big financials and no one cares. The leader of the party and nominee for President is being metaphorically paraded around on a leash wearing a tight black leather outfit with metal studs by his dominatrix, Mistress Elon, doing his unholy bidding. He is bought and paid for. When not sucking on the Musk teat he is busy hawking his merchandise and gathering a fortune. And the party follows him mindlessly like preschoolers fascinated by a cuddly puppy.
Meanwhile the Democrats are trumpeting a perceived moral victory of not taking billionaire’s money by non-stop begging for pennies. I have been asked for amounts between $5.00 and $40.00 and they are forever whining that they are behind. I’d be falling at Mark Cuban’s feet begging for a $100 million. I’d give him anything he wants. I know it would be something that wouldn’t harm others, unlike the power grab of the opposition billionaire’s that have scores of politicians and Supreme Court judges in their pockets. Republicans become outraged at comparisons between Trump’s actions and Hitler’s but, many of his moves like non-stop lying, mirror how Adolph consolidated power. Who else compared him to Hitler? Oh yeah, it was J.D. Vance before he realized he better join the Bund or leave the country.
Of course, this is just my opinion. I could be wrong…about the metal-studded leather outfit.
